Additional information -
Varena stands at an astounding 9 ft 5, she is large, physically tough due to her heritage and rare in the same aspect. Her flesh is a soft, tan pink and hair raven black. Her irises are golden in color, matching the various rims of her armor. The thicker armored portion of her uniform are totally black, mostly nonreflective, what remains is a mixture of black clothes beneath the armor including a pair of black gloves.
The jewel set into the grey steel of her 'butchers sword' is a blood ruby red in color and seems to have a hidden life of its own.
Additionally she hides pointed ears beneath her hair.
Name: Varena Valkynd
Meaning of name: None applicable
Age: 32 Earth Cycles
Job: Paladin - Following her father's position as a paladin, Varena is on a pilgrimage around the world to increase her skills, learn of the world as much as she can and bring back something of value to her fathers state and present it to their leader. As a Paladin it is her duty to protect the innocent, serve the needs of others and uphold all the laws of her state.
Occupation: Travelling Priestess - Although not one to preach her religion openly, Varena is still an acting priestess of her Faith, the Order of Equilibrius. Her religion concentrates on the belief of two gods who represent a balance in nature, one deals with great evil, and the other with all the goodness in the land, for one to exist the other must also. To understand one the other must be present, allowing fair judgement of either. Both gods are respected for they only keep the balance, neither is inherintly evil or good, they simply control the natural order together. Varena, having learned this religion, keeps it especially at heart since she too is a culmination of a good source and an evil source. Her religion does not disallow fighting for a good or evil cause because it promotes choosing ones own balance, so Varena believes in fighting for justice and to protect others.
Skills: Well versed in swordplay and the use of many weapons, has impressive problem solving skills (probably passed down to her by her elven parent) and can also play music using the crystals that she summons.
Personality:
In spite of her abstract history, Varena's upbringing has made her respectable, honorable and a figure that can be looked up to, in various meanings of the term. Varena is generally gentle and friendly, a wisdom of old instilled to her by her adoptive parents and a great sense of justice in her heart.
Add to this her religious beliefs and you've got perhaps one of the strangest Half-Ogresses around. Not that there are many Half Ogre's at all. Something that does make her feel lonely on occassion.
Varean wears a scarf over her face for an inverted reason. Her face lacks ferocity, it is actually quite nice, so she prefers to hide it to intimidate her opponents because if they dont know what she actually looks like then she can make them imagine worse. Or she can throw some-one off by revealing that she actually isn't all that bad. She constantly finds some difficulties height-wise when entering homes or entering small spaces, to this end she sometimes gets a little claustrophobic when confined to a small area.
Background:
Varena's actual origins are unknown. At best guess an elven woman mated with an ogre, but even then it seems far too unreal a concept, if it was even a desired mating was questioned. All the same, Varena was discovered by a kindly foreigner and knight from a foreign state where the people are less in tune with the world. The bizarre child was discovered late at night, crying near where Lexus Valkynd was staying. As the first one on the scene he took it upon himself to care for the child, he and his wife Lenneth had been wanting a child for a great deal of time, so perhaps this would suffice until a child of their own was born. The knight raised Varena like she was his own, even his wife.
Varena's marvelous strength was one of the first traits to show itself, at the age of seven she was alreayd her adoptive mothers height and had the physical capacity to knock down trees With only her hands, though her father taught her control constantly, and that if she ever accidentally hurt some-one it would be very bad.
The next of her traits that was noticed was the regeneration, at the age of fourteen she wass tanding at odds with her father, and both were weilding edged swords. Her father, the greater skilled of the two, caught Varena with a punishing cut to the arm when she let her frustration get to her, the two then observing as the wound sealed shut slowly.
The final ability also came as a surprise, yet not. It was hard to describe for when she had hit the age of twenty, seemingly matured, she found an interesting flower, one that was rare to their home, and so she wished she could encase it in glass for her mother. Instead a crystal formed up around it, she brought it to her mother as a gift.
All the while Varena had been raised beside her sister Lucianna, the two were never at odds since they were practically raised together as babies. The religion of the parents were passed to the daughters and Varena was finally set on her way out into the world.
With the teachings of her father, the beliefs of her family religion in heart, and a specially designed set of armor and sword for her alone. Varena travelled the paths and byways of the land, finding as many interesting creatures she could find so she wouldn't feel so single herself, afterall, she still realized how different she was.
It was when she was thirty that Varena began suddenly feeling the presence of something. Something that felt it had to be familiar to her, calling out to her. The maddening desire to find it ahd her scouring almost tirelessly for several days through a forest until she finally came upon a rock formation, in which a dark blood red ruby was embedded. It was perfect in shape and form. The object broke from the rock formation and floated before her. It was almost as if they were destined to find one another.
Words wer ebarely exchanged, but they knew what they had to do, and so Varena had her blade reformed, fitting the soul stone within it.
Companion Object:
Soul Stone, the great jewel set within Varena's blade is a sentient form of life with its own capabilities. I can lift and manipulate the blade of its own accord and control it, making the blade much a like a living weapon that does not necessarily have to be weilded by the owner.
Since it is frequently at threat of combat, it is highly durable and would take a great amount of force to be shattered. On the other hand if Varena ever perishes, the crystal will crack and become grey.
Powers:
Ogre strength, although physically smaller than her predecessor, she is still gifted with the sheer power and might of an Ogre and displays enough strength to physically crush barriers of wood, even some steel ones.
Regeneration, a low key capability also pased on to her from her Ogre predecessor, left to her own devices after being damaged Varena will eventually regenerate from wounds, even near-fatal ones. Unlike her Ogre parent, the wounds can only repair one at a time, focusing on those most likely to cause her death. Outright killing her will still suffice, she cant regenerate if dead.
Crystalmancy*, believed to be born of her elven side, Varena can use this capability to summon crystalline formations, structures, weapons and the like for various uses. The larger the item is the longer it takes to fully form and shape. For example a human shortsword would take less than a second, something like a boulder would take around five to ten seconds depending on the size or density of it. She can concentrate on about four items at a time.
