UNUSED
Name: Hannelore Salander
Race: Human
Age: 21
Sex: Female
Origin: Igros
Appearance: Art by DeVmarine - Standing at five and half feet, Hannelore is a young white woman with long loose black hair. Dressed in what some might call a garishly red and black puffed jacket worn over a leather cuirass, alongside similarly garish red and black hose, a feathered wide brim hat, and fine black leather gloves, her wealthy upbringing is not exactly kept secret.
Biography:
The second cousin once removed of one of the members of the Wilkes Merchant Family, Hannelores parents were minor Igros nobles who had been marrying into money for several generations. Their political influence was limited, but they compensated, perhaps overly so, through wealth. Pampered and doted upon, when Hannelore expressed an interest in the soldiers and guards that accompanied esteemed guests, her parents sought out martial tutors to teach her the ways of war.
It wasn't until she was fourteen that Hannelore experienced her first vision. Grabbing a well worn training sword for her daily practice, she was suddenly paralyzed, her senses pulled away to witness an older man struggling aboard the deck of a ship shattered by raging storms. A couple months later, her tutor took temporary leave to attend the funeral of an old friend, who had died at sea.
As time passed, the visions grew more frequent. Sometimes she'd she things happening far away, other times into the past. Most times she lacked the context to know either way. It eventually reached the point where she took to wearing gloves and long sleeves at all times to avoid triggering another barrage of visions, letting her control the pace of her exposure.
Adolescence slowly passed her by, and Hannelore continued to grow more accustomed to fighting with a flamberge (though lacked real life or death experience), directing her visions (though the future continued to stubbornly deny her it's secrets), and enjoying her family's wealth. Her familial ties to the Wilkes Merchant Family, weak as they may be, let news of their more interesting exploits trickle down to the grapevine. Gideon's adventuring ways especially caught her attention, and when the Wilkes began to put together a group to find their lost blood, she sent her interest in helping back up the grapevine.
Defining Strength: Intuitive Clairvoyant
For several years now, Hannelore has had a knack for scrying. One that has only grown stronger with time. Through contact with a person or object, Hannelore can see into defining moments in the subjects past, or use a personal belonging of someone to try and see where that person may be during the present. Though for seeing elsewhere in the present, attachment between the two subjects as well as distance both factor into the clarity of the vision, and as such seeing into the past is generally far easier to control and direct.
Other Strengths:
Cleaving Insight - Though she's yet to be in a true life or death situation yet, Hannelore has received training from some of the most sought after tutors in Igros, and is no small talent with the two handed flamberge.
A Second Ahead - The future is a nearly impenetrable barrier to attempt to scry into, defined by countless decisions yet to be made. But impending injuries are often soon enough and shocking enough that Hannelore can start to dodge an attack a moment before the attack has even begun.
Gregarious - A welcoming demeanor, friendly attitude, and easy smile makes Hannelore an approachable and generally well received personality.
Great Weakness: Wracked With Visions
At this inexperienced, tender age, Hannelore has not yet learned to control her visions. Coming into contact with any object with a strong history or connection is likely to set her off, disorienting her. She's taken to wearing gloves to help avoid physical contact, but if something were to pierce her clothes, or touch some of her exposed skin elsewhere, her mind would be sent whirling off to another time and/or another place.
Other Weaknesses:
Naive - Raised in a sheltered and wealthy manner, Hannelore has little experience with the more unsavory elements life has to offer. As such, she is likely to place trust in those she should be wary of.
Sticks and Stones - Hannelore's martial skills alongside her reflexes let her avoid most blows, but when hit she lacks the tenacity or armour to try and shrug them off.
Superficial - Friendly though she may be, she has not experienced much in the way of hardship. She'll have no words of wisdom for those in need, no clue how to handle those who could use some support.
