Gracelyn Koester

## Gracelyn Marie Koester

Gracelyn Marie Koester is a support agent to Amelian Koester, her adopted brother. Her primary skillset revolves around physical combat, her primary stats being Vitality and Robustness. She cares little to not at all about other people or even given missions at hand, kept on track almost exclusively by request of her brother. She has a soft spot for children, at least enough to spare them from her wrath.

Prior to following her brother to The Archive, Gracelyn worked alongside him in the unending effort to dismantle Ivea's government and standing society. Her role was always, by choice, to work under Amelian's cover from the unseen shadows, despite being the significantly less stealthy of the two. In her rare public appearances outside their closest circles, she presented herself as cold, apathetic, and mercilessly bloodthirsty. Even amongst "trustworthy" company, the Halfblood Wyvern never found herself truly trusting a single soul besides Amelian, a firm believer that no one else would ever truly have her back or be worth her time.

## Physical Description

Gracelyn is a tall, muscled woman with elongated, scaled, pointy ears. She has three small gold earrings on her right ear, matching Amelian's, and a red buffalo check bandanna. She wears a dark leather sleeveless coat with a scalloped edge and a hood, as well as a short sleeved shirt and a wrap-around multi layered skirt overtop a pair of jeans. She wears a pair of tall, fluffy lined boots. On her left shoulder, between patches of scales, is five thin claw scars, a matching signifier to her oath with Amelian. She wears her pinkish strawberry blonde hair in a short undercut between a pair of thick white horns. She has a few black scales on her face, as well as a line of heat pits on her upper lip, and a line of sylvan frills down the back of her jaw partway onto her neck. She has viper-esque diamond shaped scales patched on her neck, her shoulder-blades, down her arms, plating on the back of her hands, along her legs, and down her back onto her tail. She has white underbelly plating that starts at the base of her neck and extends along to her tail, which also has a few spikes along the base of it and at the tip, extending out to her tail-spike. Her tailspike is partially flexible when loose, and rattles like a rattlesnake. In her humanoid form, she has small wings protruding from her elbows, the larger layer sporting a white membrane and the shorter layer that sits atop the other sporting a black membrane.

## History

Born November 15th in the 229nd year, by the name Oleander Portia, Gracelyn grew up an only child under the care of her father, the sovereign Wyvern, and her mother, a Voidblood. About a month after her 15th birthday, when the Blood War ended, her mother stole her away from her father and traded her away as a prize of war. The same day, she was rescued from captivity by young Amelian, and the two forged an unbreakable bond over a promise of loyalty and family to the death and beyond.

For the next many years, Gracelyn focused more on personal growth of skill than the world around her, strengthening her survival knowledge and combative prowess while her brother navigated the social and literal landscape of their home. After losing their faction and fleeing from their home as young adults, Gracelyn further dedicated herself to ensuring she wouldn't ever lose a fight, so that she could both protect her brother and someday reclaim her home and the honor of her kin that had been stolen away by the monarchy.

After Amelian joined the Archive, Gracelyn was left alone with Helnyx, not learning her brother was even still alive until months later when Ivea's pantheon was revived and she met the Voidborn, Ivea's Goddess of the void itself. That day, Gracelyn also learned she herself is a reincarnation of a sliver of the Voidborn's soul. Shortly thereafter, when the wraiths of Ivea became ruthless beyond any precedent and the world began crumbling around her, she retreated with Helnyx to their home under lock and key, closing herself off physically and emotionally, only starting to open up again when her brother finally came back for her.

## Archive History

Gracelyn has spent her time primarily following along with her brother, Amelian, both on standard Archive missions and his vocation with the Black Orchid Guild. She assisted in babysitting a young dragon during said vocation, as well as performing a raid on another band of mercenaries who had taken a factory and it's employees hostage.

## Abilities

This does not include any class abilities or personal skills, regardless of proficiency.

* Therian - Your power has been sealed, and the once mighty Wyvern has been reduced to something more akin to when she was a mere infant.  But as a beastfolk of Ivea, you can shift your body to your animal form.  At present, Grace's therian is barely two feet long from nose to tail, half that being her tail itself, but at least she can fly.
* Wyvern's Hellfire - Produce bright blue fire breath based on Vitality.  These are powered by your own bodily strength, heating your body to ridiculous temperatures.  You're pretty used to being on fire inside.
