The Fallen

Age:
    Died at age 565.

Personality:
    Even as a young child, Crystal believed strongly in the belief that all people are equal and adamantly opposed violence. As she grew and developed into a young lady, her beliefs only strengthened and drove her to do her best to help the downtrodden and the needy. Much like a priestess, she believed that all people, no matter how great their sins, could be redeemed and live a meaningful life. Her personality resembles that of a classic lady but infused with inexhaustible energy, happiness and optimism. Her undying love for Morgan Warpath, also known as Adrian Meksartus, changed his bitter outlook on life, as it did many others.

Race:
    Crystal was born as a human, but as her life progressed she began to develop supernatural abilities, in particular increased strength, speed, healing and strong magical abilities. When she was killed as a result of her protesting against a war, her true form was revealed as her body mended itself rapidly and resurrected. Angelic wings gracefully sprouted from her back and her appearance began to change drastically. Her body fully matured at the same time that her wings grew. This moment led to the discovery that she was one of the legendary rune warriors, who were mortals who’s souls had merged with that of a demi-god, also known as a disciple, of one of the primary gods. They were named rune warriors because of the rune that each warrior bore on their right hand, and Crystal was the holy rune warrior of love. As such, she was destined to slay the demonic rune warriors in the Goddess of love’s name.

Characteristics:
    Crystal, much like the rest of the rune warriors, is the pinnacle of human perfection, as is evident by her appearance. Heavenly sun-colored hair flows down her shapely body and floats just above her hips, and waves and dances with the wind as if they were one, while still somehow maintaining a beautiful appearance during and after the wind’s gusts. Her vibrant blue eyes shine brightly even on the worst of days, and show compassion and pity to all who deserve it. Never has a hateful glare replaced her loving gaze. A set of gorgeous, thin rosy lips locked in an eternal smile complete the stunning vision of beauty that is Crystal’s face, parting often to pleasantly greet all that she sees. Her arms are slightly colored but still retain the moonlit color of the rest of her skin, indicating her upper-class status. Neutrally colored blouses and dresses conceal her well-formed body but also accent her beauty well, which only drives men to lust after her further with the knowledge that she is unattainable to them.

Equipment:
    As she is a pacifist, Crystal carries very few weapons or armors, especially since if she was ever forced into combat she would just use her natural talents and those of the Disciple of the Goddess of Love. The only weapon that she carries, although she summons it using the Disciple’s powers, is an ancient and legendary long sword crafted by the God of War as a gift to the Goddess of Love. Elegantly crafted with the intent of wooing the Goddess, it is incredibly light weight but is also sharpened to perfection. It has been enchanted by the God of War to forever remain sharp, and has also been blessed by the Goddess to protect its wielder. Its silver blade hums gently with a red glow around it that ebbs and flows with its wielder’s emotions.

Strengths:
    Angelic Strength:
        Crystal has accepted the presence of the Disciple of the Goddess of Love, and as such has fused her soul with the Disciple. As a result, Crystal has received the powers, memories, and abilities of the Disciple as well as from all of the previous Rune Warriors fighting for the Goddess. She has received the strength of a seraph equivalent to that of a demi-god’s, immortality, and a magical prowess that could easily contest that of an archmagi. Crystal is capable of easily dispatching any unholy creature, and has accidentally harmed Morgan on several occasions.
   
    She also has the ability to transform into the angelic form of the Disciple of the Goddess of Love. In this form, her dove feathered wings sprout from her back and a silver suit of light mail, engraved with the symbol of the Goddess, protects her body. Her blade glows fiercely in this form and the reddish hue now ripples from the blade in a fiery wave.

Weaknesses:
    Pacifism:
        The very nature and destiny of the Rune Warrior makes Crystal’s decision to be a pacifist incredibly difficult. Although she is the human incarnate of the Goddess of Love, she is still expected to slay the other incarnates until she is the only Rune Warrior left alive. By declaring her love for Morgan Warpath and escaping with him, she has denied both her destiny and her Goddess and consequently was cursed by the Goddess and her disciple. Her powers have weakened since then, but her love for Morgan still fuels her godlike powers to an extent. However, because she refuses to fight in the tournament she is an easy victim for many of the other incarnates.
