## Stats

### Level

3 (Anomalous Sorcerer)

**Kameliya Van Holmes,** a young woman from the city of Luxor who takes on the occupation of being an experienced Journalist. She is the character played by Mixlie in this campaign. She is an Anomalous Sorcerer who just so happens to also be of the Contradictling race. Strangely enough however, unlike all others of her race, she's different, having an extremely cold body that could give frostbite if held too long. Very little is truly known about her, as she would seem to have a knack for withholding information from others. Despite all this, she holds up a smile and remains enthusiastic for all those around her.

## Appearance

Kameliya has short, blond hair, with sky blue eyes and soft features. Weirdly enough however, when her body is effected in any sort of paradoxical way, her eyes seem to shift from a sky blue to a bright crimson red with black rings. She is roughly around the height of 5 foot 7 inches, with a fairly curvy figure, and has a unique monocle hair pin.

### Detective/Journalist

When she feels like it, she would wear what would seem to be detective based clothing, donning a beige long coat over a knife pleated skirt of the same color, a plain white button up shirt with a red tie, alongside stockings and a deerstalker cap. This is an outfit that she would typically wear when going out doing pure journalism and detective work. She quite fancies this outfit, as she thinks it makes her look really kewl and interesting.

### Casual

On multiple other occasions, Kameliya would wear a more casual outfit, as it would be used for times when she isn't being a Journalist or Detective. She wears a large brown coat that's patterned, a black knife pleated skirt and a garter belt, a plain white off the shoulders lace up, leggings, a pair of glasses, and a Gatsby cap on her head. She would also seem to be carrying with her a specially made purse with a pure gold mustache on the front. All of the clothing here is extraordinarily expensive, as it would all seem to be Versucci branded, so when this outfit gets messed up, even just a little, she can get pretty upset.

### Dress

As for a more elegant approach for fashion, she wouldn't have anything that's above and beyond. She would wear a black pencil dress, with a flower designed Jayme dress over it, with crystal earrings and a diamond tiara on her head.

As for just general wears, she would seem to always have on this necklace of hers, with a red crystal at the end of it, alongside the monocle hair pin that she always has in her hair. Additionally, her favorite underdress would be lingerie, as she says it looks fashionable and unique in comparison to just plain panties and bra underneath.

[**Note from a friend of hers:** She may not like to show, but underneath those clothes of hers she has quite the dumpy. I mean, I'm just saying ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)]

## Personality

Kameliya is an interesting case in terms of personality. She is rather inquisitive, jumping at any question she can that would lead to more information gathered. She isn't totally oblivious however, as if it is someone that is actively hiding things out of preference of not wanting to share, she won't pester them about it. However, if it is information that she would find high value in, she will press on regardless of whether the other person likes it or not. She's shows a kind hearted side of herself full time while other people are around, letting her humor and natural charisma carry her through conversations. Interestingly enough, despite being just a kind and upstanding citizen to others, she withholds a lot of information about herself, often times blowing past the subject when questioned. Regardless, outside of things she neglects talking about, she is a real chatty person. She will talk to anyone and everyone if she wants, as growing connections through the world is an important skill. She does this in the form of her journalism, as a means to gathering interesting information, and to make an immediate acquaintance with someone in the area. It is currently unknown as to why she feels the need to have an acquaintance in whatever area that she's in.

She does have some weird quirks about her personality, as she is most definitely not a normal person. For starters, she absolutely hates attention, especially when it is unwanted. She would actively go out of her way to ensure the fact that she is one of the most if not **THE** most unnoticeable person in a room. This trait can sometime actively clash with her journalist heart, as gathering information requires the attention of someone important, and with them can come everyone else around them. Another thing of note that also actively goes against her dislike in attention is the fact that she likes to be different than the others that surround her. Say there are two doors, one leading into light, and another leading into a pitch black void. If majority of the people within the room go into the door of light, Kameliya with actively decide to go into the door of darkness.

A small detail that hasn't been shown throughout any of the pre sessions is that Kameliya has the tendency to say "Bite me" in scenarios that she's agitated or frustrated.

## Abilities/Equipment

Kameliya has a fair assortment of abilities and equipment that she can utilize in multiple different scenarios.

### Spells

As she is an Anomalous Sorcerer, she has a few options to pick from when utilizing her magical abilities, as being a sorcerer makes her innately able to cast spells without the need of a fancy book.

**Nacreous Snowmelt:** Nacreous Snowmelt is a 2nd level spell, and is Kameliya's current strongest spell in terms of damage. Being one with the cold, Kameliya uses her natural cold body to her advantage, creating a burst of freezing energy to deal with a large chunk of enemies. It does the most damage out of everything else in that she has at her disposal, and not only that, but when creatures are unsuccessful on the saving throw against the spell to avoid the cold, their entire lower half of their body is encased in ice, preventing them from moving at all until either they or another creature uses their action to release them from the ice. Unfortunately, Aoe does not equal better, as it can be a major hinderance to her teammates in combat if caught in the blast. Nacreous Snowmelt is the first of many Camellia song references, in reference to the song "Nacreous Snowmelt", and is the renamed version of the spell "Icingdeath's Frost".

**Rummage Through the Past:** Another 2nd level spell at Kameliya's disposal. While not as strong or as useful during combat, it more that makes up for it outside of combat, as it remains as Kameliya's best utility spell for around the world. Need a door to be opened? Well, take it back in time to a point where it was opened. Need a lock to be opened? Well, take it back in time to where it was unlocked. A tablet of text destroyed or a vase dropped to the floor? Easy fix! It's an extremely useful spell that comes in handy for every situation, especially when Kameliya's wandering around looking for information.

**Chronal Switch:** Is a 1st level spell that Kameliya knows. Just know, she's going to forget about this spell real soon until she hits higher levels for it to be an actual good spell for her.

**Infallible Relay:** Her current and really only favorite 1st level spell. She absolutely loves this spell to death, forcing people to pick up the phone when she calls them. Trying to ghost her? Oh no no no, you've gotta put in at least a *fair* bit of effort if you try to. In all seriousness, this spell is just useful when the other person isn't the most charismatic.

**Ray of Frost:** Ah yes, old reliable when all else fails. Who needs other fancy damage dealing spells when you can just have a simple cantrip that's arguably more reliable. Kameliya would simply point her finger in a direction and a beam of cold energy shoots from it, harming a singular target of her choosing while also making them move slower than usual.

**Prestidigitation:** Another old reliable spell that Kameliya has at her disposal. It is her best quality of life spell that she utilized, whether it be her cleaning herself of any form of dirtiness, fixing up a small tear or crack, making memes appear from her hands, or creating a toothpick after she's done eating. It can also help in cases outside of just quality of life. An example being when she disables a spell trap that nearly killed her once when she was exploring something she wasn't meant to by disrupting the magic circle and dirtying it up.

**Echoes of the Past:** A really nifty cantrip that Kameliya has that enables her to, as the name suggests, cause words from the past to resurface like an audio recording. This audio is the recording of everything said within the last 10 minute. A really handy spell when trying to uncover information you didn't know about before.

**Sapping Sting:** An old trick that Kameliya utilized back in her youth. It was a simple tactic that allowed for her to alter the temperature of a target's feat, causing them to fall as their feat fell completely numb, almost as if they were never there. Of course, it's never 100% accurate, the target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw, and if they succeed, they *Stand Proud*.

### Innate Abilities

**Contradicstep:** An ability that all Contradictlings get. It's an ability that allows for Kameliya to phase out of existence from where she was, and phase into existence in an area within 30 feet. It is an ability that she can use a number of time equal to her proficiency bonus

**Glitch Out:** An ability that Kameliya found herself having, but nobody else did. It's an innate ability of hers that allows for her to phase out of existence from someone else's period of time. As a bonus action, for a number of turns equal to half of her proficiency bonus, she is immune to all damage other than psychic and is intangible, however she can't take any reactions during that time. This uses up her contradicstep feature.

**Inversion Grasp:** Being a Contradictling, she has the curse of luck turning a critical success into a critical fail, and vise versa. Whenever she rolls a natural 1 or natural 20, the 2 values swap, causing a 1 to turn into a 20, and a 20 to turn into a 1. This natural part of her being has caused her more headaches that anything else, as it will consistently get in her way.

**Inconsistency Constant:** This is a niche ability that Kameliya would use maybe once or twice a month depending on the circumstances, it's basically an ability that allows for her to cause specific parts of her body to not exist for a brief period of time as a bonus action.

**Outlier's Quirk:** A neet ability all Contradictlings get as well, which allows for them to cause the disruption of the timeline. When used it allows for Kameliya to add her proficiency bonus to Skill checks and saving throws, though this can only be used a number of time equal to half her hypothetical character level rounded up.

**Metamagic:** This is an ability she gained at level 3, which allows for her, and many other sorcerers to do some pretty wacky things with their spells. For Kameliya specifically, she took study in 2 specific instances of them, one being that of quickening a spell, and the other being the ability to cause the spell to become subtle. With quickening a spell, she can cause the spell to cost a bonus action, making it so that she has more leeway with what she can do with her action, and by causing the spell to become subtle, nobody can really tell when she casts a spell, preventing things such as counterspell from hindering her in combat.

**Peculiarity Singularity:** The first real ability that she gained by becoming an Anomalous Sorcerer, it is an ability which allows for her to do some pretty interesting things on top of casting spells, and aside from her use of metamagic. When casting a spell, she can upcast it by 1 spell slot level higher while using the original leveled slot of the spell, even if she doesn't have that spell slot level already. When doing this, she must roll on a table known as the Anomalous Quirk Table. which can lead to certain things happening such as causing a magnify gravity spell to be cast atop the spell cast already, or temporal shunting yourself. It's a risky ability to use, but can pay off if lucky enough.

### Items

**Pocket Watch:** Kameliya has a pocket watch that she wields in her left hand whenever in combat. It's a seemingly silver watch with a unique design on the inside of it. This is an arcane focus that Kameliya cherishes.

**Sororis Amor:** A special necklace that Kameliya wears around her neck every time. The necklace is simplistic, though has a unique red crystal at the end of it filled with magical energy. Kameliya doesn't take it off for any reason regardless of the scenario, and holds that thing near and dear to her heart. This is a necklace where when she is tasked with making a Charisma, Wisdom, or Intelligence saving throw, she may roll as many hit die as she wants as if taking a short rest, with the result of each hit dice roll adding to the result of the saving throw.

**Glacierbound Princess:** A unique hour glass that Kameliya obtained after her first encounter with the forgotten goddess of Frost, Aisoyimstan, in one of the rooms of the ruins that the Reapers of the Mafan Station at. After having gained the power that Aisoyimstan has granted her through this hour glass, she's gained a plethora of new abilities that she can utilize. On top of having this item, she also now has access to each and every single spell that deals cold damage.

## Relationships

Kameliya has met a multitude of weird people in her life, these relationships will primarily be going over the most notable relationships that she has within the world.

### Sullivan Sinclair

Ah yes, good old Mr Detective himself. The two met a while ago in Lacrima, roughly a year and a half, when attempting to uncovering the mystery behind the disappearance of a singer.

### Y-VII

The robot that came into a relationship with a princess from another state. Kameliya met both him and Juliette 2 weeks prior to the current events of the campaign. She had helped them both with an issue that they were both struggling with, and gave them both the opportunity to gain a peaceful life by publishing a story on both of their current circumstances.

### Juliette

One of the other people Kameliya helped out 2 weeks ago alongside Y-V. Kameliya acknowledged the relationship between the 2 of them, finding it to be rather nice and wholesome. The only thing she doesn't really find all that appealing about Juliette is of her inquisitive nature. Kameliya's fairly certain that she can see through her denial. She'd constantly ask Kameliya questions about certain things, with Kameliya either always answering in denial or just lying. S̴̼͂h̵̥͛e̵͇̅ ̴̨͝c̸̳̋a̴̺͒n̴̗̈́ ̸̱̓f̸̼͝î̷͉n̶̗͂ḍ̶͗ ̷͈̾i̶͇̒ṱ̸͑ ̸̦̆p̵̫̌r̸̖͐ȇ̷̟t̶̗́t̸̬̿ỳ̸̞ ̶̣̽b̶̘͋ỏ̵͎t̶̺̍h̵̳̍e̶͔̎r̷̺͠s̸͓͆o̷̢͐m̵̠̀é̴̮ ̴͖́a̷̳̎t̴̞͠ ̷̓͜t̵̟͒į̴̏m̶̢̋e̵̬̋s.

### Valerius Fionn

Valerius Fionn, the Mysticorum Rex of the Vitalica, is a rather important person to Kameliya. It may not be the most clear to most people, but Valerius is actually Kameliya's father. Kameliya looks up to him, wanting to become just as good of a spellcaster as himself. She doesn't openly blurt out the fact that she's one of the Vitalica member's daughter however, as stated prior, she dislikes attention, and this simple fact can bring a lot of it.

### Savelievich

He's an interesting person to Kameliya, having a very clear as day mysterious aura surrounding him. At first glance Kameliya automatically wanted to get a story out of him, and when he was dragged out by a certain individual, she grew even more intrigue. She decided not to pester him about his origins too much, as she doubts she'd ever get anything out of him right away, though she still has an eye out for him.

### Vezda Novaya

Is quite a unique person. The two met 2 years ago in a bar, and some interesting stuff happened. By the end of it, Kameliya had more of a headache than anything. The two did eventually exchange numbers after that.

### (A Friend)

The person that tricked Kameliya into coming to the Chronowardens, and seems to have a unique Connection with Tysandre. Kameliya seems to regard this person as their best friend, even having a photo of them on their phone case.

## History

Heh, who knows. From all that you can tell, she's just a random Journalist from Luxor who got dragged into all of this. Though with the basic hidden rule of the Chronowardens, that's likely far from the truth :)
