Main Character

* Season 2
* Season 1

The Main Character of the Oathbreaker series is a surgeless, veteran Warlock. She is first introduced as she is summoned by the Sovereignity to become Walinad's Court Mage, in an attempt to undermine King Raelan's rule.

## Appearance

### Physical features

Upon starting the game, the Player can chooce between 5 models which determine the color of the Main Characters hair and skin. Depending on this, her skin can vary from light to dark in combination with red, blonde, brown or black hair. Her canon color model is presumed to be tan-skinned with brown hair, as it is a model used in the games' cover images and also in comics published on the creator's Patreon and Discord stickers.

Regardless of the Player's choices, the Main Character has purple eyes and a small mole beneath the left corner of her lips. She is shorter than most of the adult cast, which is heavily remarked upon in *Oathbreaker II*. Her figure is thin, and appears more toned in the second game. She has scars on numerous places on her body, although only those along the stomach area are visible on the character model.

Both of her arms are covered in Warlock markings, given to her by Elius.

### Hairstyle and Clothing

During both of the games, there are several remarks about the Main Character's lack of fashion sense form the other characters, with Virion at one point dubbing it a bog-witch style.

##### Season 1 (*Oathbreaker*)

The Main Character has messy, wavy, shoulder-length hair which she wears as a low ponytail and over her left shoulder. She has long side bangs framing the right side of her face, alongside a braid. She also sports a braid which goes along her hairline.

On her left ear she has multiple metal earrings, including studs along the earlobe, with one larger earring hanging from her lobule. The earring looks like a sword with fabric draped around the hilt and a snake coiled around the blade. If you choose to romance Virion, during the attack on Khell in Chapter 5 they will trade their hanging earrings for the rest of the game.

She wears a white scarf halter top, over which she has green, pellerine-like item which leaves her shoulders exposed. Her neck is partially covered by a gray scarf. She has dark brown pants with a red fabric belt, from which a pinkish cloth goes down over the front of her legs. Over her hips she has tied a brown leather belt with gold buckle, to which a likewise leather bag with a golden pin is attached.

##### Season 2 (*Oathbreaker II*)

Compared to the first game, the Main Character has seemingly longer hair, which she has loosely hanging down. There are numerous braids framing her face and covering the crown of her head, keeping them from her face. Few loose strands of hair cover her forehead.

Much like in the *Oathbreaker*, her left ear has three earings piercing the side of her earlobe, but the hanging earring in this game takes form of a coiling dragon. On her neck she has two strands of a necklace made from colored stones.

She wears a brown bikini top, embroidened along the inner hem. She wears what appears a purplish sleeveless cardigan vest with patterned hem and white fur on the shoulders. The vest is bound to her body by a large brown leather belt, to which three bags of various sizes and styles are attached and on the left side of which, a sage green cloth is tied. She has a smaller, dark brown belt tied over it. She is in dark brown pants with almost knee-high leather boots. From under her belts, we can see a light piece of fur covering her legs.

## Personality

Overall, the Main Character is depicted as a confident, strong, cunning and witty woman, as well as a brilliant strategist.

She can also be a crook and a thief, as well as ruthless. Argandea has stated that she seems to have been into a lot of fights and to have enjoyed every and each one of them. This can also be proved as she smiles and gets pumped up almost each time she enters a fight.

She tends to lean often on sarcasm, wile and flirting to get out of difficult or uncomfortable situations. She is slow to open up, and hates being pitied. However, there are moments where is is shown to be quite sensible, sometimes to the point of being self-deprecating, doubting her own worth and showing guilt when faced with people she cares about get hurt because of her.

Her insecurities have become more prominent after having lost her Surge, something she never truly got over. Virion has stated that she doesn't "get easily terrified", to which she answered that without her Surge she's nothing, and so she is terrified.

She becomes more open about these feelings as the game progresses and she becomes friends with the LIs, starting to care more about others and being afraid of them getting hurt, turning somewhat softer.

She has also shown to have a good heart deep down, as demonstrated when she proposes to help Lana by guiding her to the castle and offering her room for her and her sister to spend the night, without asking for anything in return. Her goodwill is also shown when she commands Virion to hurt her badly instead of scaring the merchants that are needed for the alliance between the Peshka and Walinad, even if, as Virion has stated, she doesn't care about politics.

She can sometimes say things that may sound slightly racist to some people, like when she playfully tells Alwenn that both Aldwen and Dineans have long ears and thus they should get along, as they are similar, or when she jokes about getting cat ears headbands to disguise as Peshka.

In her route, Alwenn has described her as someone "always destined for more", "one of those people with fire in their eyes". "Give you goosebumps when they approach, as if with each step they leave a permanent mark upon the world."

### Personality Choices

Personality choices are a feature of both of the *Oathbreaker* games. It includes 3 personality types: Goodwill, Cunning and Rage. A player can determine the Main Character's most prominent personality through the choosable answers, where each option coresponds with one of the personalities in the aforementioned order.

The personality choices affect mostly the subsequent dialogue between the characters, but there are examples of the dominant personality choise affecting the dialogue even without Player's further input, as listed below:

* **Goodwill:** Alwenn presents her to Raelan as "the Great", and Gabriel (Hulstead's barista) calls her "Precious".
* **Cunning:** Alwenn presents her as "the Cunning", and Gabriel calls her "Smiley".
* **Rage:** Alwenn presents her as "the Ruthless", and Gabriel calls her "Sunshine".

Like with Personality Choices, when the Main Character is interacting with others in general, there is a similar system when the Main Character is interacting with posible Love Interests. Player is given three choices; first tends to be more romantic and sincere, the second tends to be more flirty, and the third is without any romantic undertones.

## Abilities

### Magic

Having been born with Surge, the MC can control all five elements: Darkness, Light, Water, Fire and Earth.

She began manifesting her magic sooner than most other children, her Surge being immensely strong, albeit equally complex. Her Surge had never been necessarily "pure," but the corruption only manifested later in life. Despite what MC herself may have thought, her surge was neither corrupt nor "bad" from the start.

After having lost her Surge, she has started to resort to using her life-source to cast magic, an ability that Warlocks have. If she casts a strong spell, it will kill her on the spot.

She is seen most times in-game casting fire with two colors - red and blue.

As a Warlock, she can also summon Imps.

### Others

She can speak Aldwen fluently. She has said that Elius teached her due to most texts about Xiris being in that language. She has learned the slang at Westerford's first war, and some dirty words at a brothel near Nelaenabel.
Even without accounting for her fluency in Aldwen, she is extremely proficient in learning new languages, and reading as well as interpreting foreign texts, regardless.

She is a brilliant tactician with lots of knowledge about other countries, such as their politics. This can be seen when in the War Room she grabs a map and teaches Raelan how to get tactical advantage over Aldwen. Some of her knowledge about other countries can also be seen when she's able to distinguish Lana and Aphra as Sindan Peshka just by their clothing.

Depending on the player's performance at the minigames, the MC might be good at some things, like cooking or healing through herbs (which she seems to have big knowledge about, Virion calling her a "bog witch" for always carrying so many plants with her).

She has strong fifth senses, as she seems to easily detect when she’s being spied on.

### Weaknesses

Alwenn has said that she's not so good at diplomacy.

Alchemy is her weak point, as the MC herself has said that "potions and salves are the only things she can do without killing herself". This is also shown when making the potion of Touch of Ice, as she fails several times, even though she has the recipe with all the instructions to make it.

## Backstory

The MC was born with Surge in Gael, a small town always at war with pirates, as the first child of her parents, Ada and Kenan, the first being a Commander and the second a Captain. 5 years later, her sister, Aila, was born, with Surge as well, but much stronger than hers.

The MC spent her childhood in military camps. When she was 19, her parents decided to send both her and her sister to the Magistracy, in order to get them way from all the battles in Gael and in hopes of letting them have a good future.

On the way, the sisters were attacked. Elius and his men appeared, saving them. The MC spent the night talking with Elius, the leader of the Vail, a group of Warlocks which worshipped Xiris madly, and decided to join his cult instead of going to the Magistracy. Aila decided to stay with them as well. Once in the Vail, the MC turned into a Warlock and learned that they wanted to resurrect Xiris, by making a ritual that needed a Child of Xiris, a Vessel and a Sacrifice. When the MC was 20, the ritual began, with Elius summoning one of the Children of Xiris, Aila being the Vessel and the MC being the Sacrifice.

However, being afraid of death and entering in Warlock Hysteria, the MC stabbed her sister instead of herself, killing her. Recovering from the Hysteria and realizing what she had done, she ran away with her sister's body, being chased by Elius' men, but managing to get away. She then left her sister's body at the door of her parents' home and left without saying a word.

After this events, she turned into a Mercenary, either killing or protecting people in exchange for money.

Years later, she was hired by some nobleman to end a blood feud in Dawnkeep, but things went wrong and she arrested by Logan, winning the title of Dawnkeep's Reaper. Logan offered her a deal: either she would fight in a War that was happening in Westerford, where Warlocks from Aldwen's Magistracy that he had hired and Mages were fighting against Thar'akith, one of the first Children of Xiris, a very dangerous being that Logan had tried to bargain with but which ended up backfiring, or she would die. As it was her only choice, the MC agreed to join the battlefield and eventually ascended to the title of General, due to being an incredible tactician.

On the final battle, she went to face Thar'akith alone, tricking him into thinking that she wanted to be his Vessel. Ready to sacrifice herself in order to defeat him, she managed to seal him. However, instead of dying, she just lost her Surge.

With Thar'akith's situation solved, nowhere to go and no powers, the MC ended up staying at the Magistracy, whom, according to her, pitied her, while healing from her wounds from the battle, and then decided to stay indefinitely, working as a cleaning lady.

The writ of Delora forbids everyone from the Magistracy from ever talking about what had happened in Westerford.

3 years go by, and that's when the story of the game begins.

## Relationships

### Love Interests

#### **Virion**

Virion is a frenemy of the MC.

When the MC was a mercenary, she would sometimes receive quests to escort/protect some nobles during their travels and Virion would occasionally be tasked to kill them. They first met each other during one of this cases.

Virion had been ordered by Calywen to kill a noble traitor to Aldwen, Lord Vincent Morthil. He had been told that the lord had contracted a human sword, a "simple brute". However, upon reaching him, Virion found the MC, a very powerful raging Warlock. Virion defined her as "beautiful", comparing her with the Divines and especially Xiris herself, due to her way of fighting. The MC won that first encounter.

They then started encountering each other more times during the years, always at opposite sides, and at some point started looking forward to it. Virion eventually developed feelings for the MC.

They encountered yet again in Westerford's battle, this time in the same side.

After the end of Westerford, with the MC starting to live at the Magistracy, they didn't see each other for 3 years, only encountering again when Virion convinces Calywen to set up the MC as Raelan's Court Mage, visiting her in secret and telling her about Calywen's plans to bring back Thar'akith.

He's very flirty with her and their talks are usually filled with humorous death threats and sassy responses.

He has the habit of playfully calling her "General" as, in his own words, "In Aldwen, once a General, always a General".

Despite being enemies they understand each other deeply and respect the other's abilities, acknowledging how cunning and strong they are, as seen when the MC states that he's a terrifying opponent when Virion claims to be a good ally, or at Hulstead, if the ruthless option is chosen, where the MC comments that she could think many things of Virion, but "idiot" wasn't one of them.

Also, deep down, they care about each other.

* When hearing the MC talk about how she's nothing without her Surge and that she's terrified, Virion offers to teach her an Aldwen's ability to borrow the Surge of other people, so that she can use her magic without using her life-source.

* When the MC threatens him to hurt her badly instead of scaring the merchants that are nedded for the alliance between the Peshka and her country, Virion tries to change her mind many times. When he sees that she isn't going to quit, he refuses to hurt her, preferring to face Calywen's punishment.

* After being whipped by Calywen, Virion summons Riz, and the first person the little imp searches for is the MC, calling her "Warlock friend" and asking her to help Virion. Despite not being told anything by either the imp or Virion, she quickly caughts on the problem. Regardless of her initial mean teasing to get Virion to open up and admit that he needs help, she quickly does her best to make a good salve to heal his wounds.

The MC always thought that Virion wasn't into humans, despite showing to have knowledge that he liked both genders, until Virion assured her that he was "into all kinds of humans" when she brought it up.

It is stated many times by different characters that there seems to be something going on between the two of them, either by the way they seem close or by the way Virion looks at the MC. Calywen has stated that the MC had "enchanted" Virion.

***Route***

On his route, Virion has told the MC that he first noticed his feelings for her on Angrave Mountain. According to him, she changed her hair and he noticed. Then he says that he noticed her eyes, her lips and her hips. When asked when she realized she had feelings for him, she just answered "Good question.".

The MC has told Virion about a time when she met an Aldwen elf bard in a tavern in Arlenas, before Westerford. According to her, she spent the night with him due to his resemblance to Virion, since she thought that the latter wouldn't be with her because of Calywen. With this it can be said that in his route the MC already had feelings for him for a long time.

#### **Alwenn**

Alwenn is the MC's best friend.

They first met on Westerford's first war, at the same side. Alwenn was the one who talked with the Magistracy in order to let the MC stay at the Academy after Westerford's first war and visited her frequently in the infirmary while she was healing from her wounds.

Alwenn has been madly in love with the MC ever since the first war, constantly supporting her, trying to get her morale up and complimenting her in order to make her understand that losing her Surge didn't make her any less worthy, but it usually falls on deaf ears as the MC brings herself down even more. Alwenn has also told the MC that she always admired her, even though the MC didn't seem to believe it.

However, despite constantly trying to make her feel better, Alwenn is also known for screaming at her very often, since the MC always does rash things, putting herself in danger, which makes Alwenn panic that something will happen to her and she'll have to use her life source. Even though the MC jokes around most of the time, she gets sometimes uncomfortable and slightly sad when Alwenn yells at her, especially when it's about something dangerous and Alwenn panics due to it, which makes the Dinean turn softer and try to make the MC feel better yet again.

Alwenn is very protective of the MC, especially when it comes to Virion. She has shown many times to feel jealous of the connection between them, as she finds the two very alike and feels that their Surge being so similar brings them closer. If the player chooses the non-romantic option when Alwenn and the MC are going back from Hulstead to the castle in Chapter 1, the MC mentions that she doesn’t think that she’s Virion’s type, to which Alwenn says that she’s "not so sure that’s the case", showing to be aware of his feelings for her.

It is also shown that the MC is relatively tame with Alwenn, as seen when the former is trying to kill Lea in Chapter 1, as she calms down when Alwenn hits her to get her back to herself and tells her to behave.

The MC has the habit of jokingly call her "Love". She has also jokingly said once that she loves it when Alwenn is practical, to which Alwenn offhandedly answered that she “wouldn’t know love if it hit her in the face”, startling the MC with her aggressivity.

The MC has said that she hates it when Alwenn compliments her into doing her bidding, to which Alwenn answered that it works.

#### **Lea**

The MC and Lea's first meeting happens in Season 1's Prologue, when the MC and Alwenn arrive to Rimeford castle and are received by Lea.

Lea’s first impression of the MC isn’t very good, as she looks at her disapprovingly when discovering that she’s the Court Mage.

Their relationship is somewhat bumpy, as Lea doesn't trust the MC and does everything she can to discover the truth of who she is. On her side, the MC feels threatened by this, doing everything she can to stall her. She has refused many times to kill her however, Virion having offered twice to "deal with her problem".

The MC tries often to joke around with her and Lea always responds by being cold. However, we can see some compassion, as if the MC chooses the romantic option when Lea tells her to call her by her name instead of Spymaster, the Dwarf will give a cute smile, even if small.

When Lea discovers the MC's identity as Dawnkeep's Reaper, she aggressively attacks her and the MC counters by getting ready to kill her. However, after being explained their side of the situation by Alwenn, who had interrupted them, Lea agrees to help them in finding the traitor, even if she still refuses to completely trust the MC, as she was a murderer previously.

#### **Argandea**

Argandea and the MC first met in Season 1's Prologue, when she arrived at the Throne Room of Rimeford castle as the Court Mage.

When Raelan asks him to keep an eye on the MC, finding it suspicious that she's his Court Mage, Argandea states that he’s more than happy to do so, showing to be appreciative of her.

Their first actual talk happens when the MC calls him out when he's spying on her. Their conversation is full of playing and teasing, where they even joke about the best method to kill Raelan, bantering about how easy it would be to do so.

In that encounter he calls the MC “Nhara”, which is the feminine version of "Friend" or "Sibling". It's a respectful/formal way to call a woman you don't really know in Asmadi.

The MC has jokingly told Raelan that she likes the "close attention of giant, blue, muscular men".

All of the MC and Argandea's interaction are fluid, with no fights, as they both understand and respect the other, and also full of flirting, as it's in the nature of them both.

#### **Raelan**

Raelan and the MC's first meeting happens in Season 1's Prologue, when she arrives to the Throne Room of Rimeford castle as Raelan's Court Mage.

His first impression of the MC wasn’t too good, due to not being too approving of her being his Court Mage. He did not know how to address a female Court Mage and was afraid of the people gossips about them being in a "made-up improper relationship."

The MC saw him as a “puppy”, for being cute, making him adquire that nickname from her part.

Raelan found the MC attractive right from the beginning, as he claimed to his uncle that she's pretty.

Although they both have suspicions against each other, their relationship begins well. The MC is respectful due to his status but doesn't hesitate to tell him what she thinks and to joke around, even if in a slightly formal way. He responds well to her humour, joking around as well.

After a couple of times of involuntarily calling Raelan by his name a couple of times, he tells her that it’s fine to call him by his name, and she starts to do so.

The MC starts to understand that Raelan, instead of a puppy, is a wolf cub, as he's actually very cunning and just knows how to hide it well.

At the beginning of their Chapter 1's dance, Raelan seems a bit lost, possibly enchanted by Thyia.

He has told the MC that she reminded him of his brother, who was brave and smart.

### Family

#### **Ada**

Ada is MC's mother.

Both MC's parents had loved her to the best of their abilities, though their best efforts still weren't enough. Their love for MC was difficult to define, but that's not to say it wasn't there. However, this lack of coherence certainly factored into MC's own belief that her surge was corrupt from the very beginning, despite this being an impossible occurrence.

#### **Aila**

Aila is MC's younger sister by 5 years who has, as of prior to the events of the narrative, been deceased.

MC's relationship with Aila had always been complicated, and somewhat difficult, by nature. Driven by her perpetual intense desire to be her mother, Ada's, "favorite," she always behaved slightly aggressively towards her sister, feeling forsaken whenever her parents defended Aila from MC's hostility. She herself viewed it as "taking her side," which only led to increased frustration and bitterness. In turn, when Aila became fed up with MC's venemous remarks and spiteful demeanor, she would counter with an "I'm the favorite" card.

### Enemies

#### **Calywen**

Although Calywen and the MC never met each other personally, they both acknowledged the existence of the other.

Calywen knew MC due to being told by Virion that she was a very strong Warlock, even stronger than him, and that he was enchanted by her. On her side, the MC knew Calywen due to him being Aldwen's king and Virion's lover.

Despite not knowing him personally, the MC seemed to have some knowledge about him, calling him cunning and ruthless, as well as knowing that he wanted an "one nation for all Elves".

Due to Calywen wanting to free Thar'akith and the MC wanting to keep him bound, and also due to her having "enchanted" Virion, they highly despised each other.

### Others

#### **Logan**

Logan and the MC first met when the latter was arrested as "Dawnkeep's Reaper", 3 years before the game.

Logan made a deal with her, which consisted of her fighting in Westerford's first war in order to have her life spared.

The MC didn’t get along at all with him, considering him stupid for having tried to make a deal with Thar’akith and then force others to fight for him.

#### **Gabriel**

Although not much about their relationship is known, the MC and Gabriel seem to get along very well, as she calls him "Gabi" and he also has nicknames for her (Precious/Smiley/Sunshine, which change according to the personality the player chose, showing that he knows her well).

The MC seems to be a somewhat frequent client at Hulstead.

#### **Vesryn**

Vesryn and the MC first met each other at the Academy.

They have a strange relationship, not seeming to particularly dislike each other but not being especially affectionate either.

They made many deals before, as the MC tells him “The usual” when he asks how much she wants for the necklace of potency, in Season1's Prologue. If the Cunning answer is chosen, Vesryn says that she has let him down before, many times.

If the Ruthless option is chosen, it's seen that he's afraid of her when she gets mad.

## Trivia

* The MC's canon name is Thyia.

* Most of promotional images and video teasers feature the MC with the tanned skin and brown hair template, thus it might be assumed that it's her canon template.

* The MC's decision to wear a dragon earring in particular is largely influenced by the fact that Xiris's true form is believed to be that of a magnificent, dark dragon.

* She is fond of rain, and the sound of rain and thunderstorms.

* She routinely has difficulty falling asleep, and even given she succeeds, she is generally only able to achieve light sleep.

* She has said to have the habit to spend the night with people she doesn't care about just to not be alone with her thoughts.

* On her first talk with Argandea, the MC says that she had Kag’ash friends. She is referring to friends that died in the first battle in Westerford.

* It's normal for the MC to cuss other Divines, due to being a follower of Xiris. On Virion's route, she has said to despise Agasis, brushing it off with "It's a Xiris' cult thing.".

* She has told Raelan that she fought with a Dragon once, although she says that she just managed to survive it until it got bored and left.

* She is bisexual.

* According to Rin, Thyia's voice sounds like the actor's Kate Beckinsale.
