Name: Guinevere Laskaris
Age: 20 Years of Age
Gender: Female
Appearance: Standing at 5'4", Gweyn, as her peers called her, weighed around 140 pounds. She was lithe and nimble, enabling her to move with ease and grace, almost as if her feet never touched the floor. From young, her grandmother had thought her the etiquette of the old world; how the aristocrats carried themselves, how they movements were as graceful as a swan, how quiet their footsteps were. These teachings proved to be an asset to her when she became a seeker.
Her ocean blue almond shaped eyes were always full of curiosity and hunger to learn more about the world around her, eagerly absorbing every details and knowledge presented to her. Silver hair framed her oval like face, falling short of her shoulders, her bangs hid the brand that formed on her forehead. She would not say she was not proud to carry the brand, no. She was simply self conscious for it would attract too much attention to her and she didn't like that.. She was not beautiful to begin with, only blessed with fair and flawless skin. Thus, she preferred to keep it hidden and not let it be on display. She would only trim her bangs enough so that it would not hinder her sight but the length would be adequate to hide the brand.
Other than that, she was plain in all ways, down to the way she dressed. She usually simple dark coloured tunics, matching with the soft cotton pants she often used. They were nonrestrictive and easy to move in, lessening the amount of unnecessary actions she would make as she transited from one to the other. She may not be heavily combative, but she valued practicality and time over anything else. The less time used to do something, the more her time could be used to acquire knowledge.
Personality: As was said, Gweyn was always hungry for new knowledge and seeking the answers to her questions. She was curious over how humans had lived before this and the stories from her grandmother was never adequate, in her opinion. Not even books could satiate her. She wanted to live and experience it herself! She wanted to be there and see with her own eyes. She could not help but wonder how it would be like if she was born then. Her curiosity was ever boiling and filled her to the brim. She wondered why they were so greedy and what drove them to do such an incorrigible action. Did they not think of the consequences? Did they not think that they would not be judged? Were they courageous or just reckless? Why would they risk it all? These were the reasons that drove her to be a seeker. She desired understanding of their life, their behaviour and their reasons. Becoming a seeker was the only way she could go out on the field herself.
Her drive for knowledge however, had caused to become a loner. When she first entered the academy to train, her snobbish attitude towards the warriors and hunters were not exactly received well. She thought they were loud and rowdy brutes who did nothing but swing swords and brag about their achievements. Time wasters, she thought they were. She could not deny that they were important to ward away the judged, she simply could not stand their rowdy behaviour.
After her first expedition though, her attitude had changed and she became more friendly and approachable, realising the importance of teamwork and the different factions of seekers. She was more aware of the significance of their hard work and why they would brag about it. They were not easy feats after all.
History: From the day she was born, Gweyn was brought up and raised by her grandmother. She had never known her parents but according to her gramps, her mother died because she was weak and the child birth took a toll on her. Shortly afterwards, her father killed himself, unable to stand the grief of his wife's death.
Despite that, Gweyn was not hung up on not having any parents for she had a fruitful life with her grandmother who taught her everything she knew, from reading to writing and bits and pieces of the olden days. Her grandmother encouraged her curiosity and with their limited resources, she tried her best to raise Gweyn well and feed her interest. She was loved by her grandmother who doted on her and to her, her grandmother was both her mother and father as well. She was who fed Gweyn the dreams to become a seeker, telling her of their extra ordinary feats and their achievements; the relics they found and their expeditions in the world below.
She was eleven when her brand first appeared, excitement coursing through her upon receiving it. Her dreams were then within reach. She packed the meager belongings she had and bade her grandmother farewell before getting herself admitted into the academy where she focused on magic training and scrolls rather than weaponry, only taking basic classes like dagger throwing. Throughout the years, she devoted herself to her studies, finding fascination at creating gylphs and polishing her wall of light.
Her first expedition was not impressive and went badly. Due to her uncooperative attitude and arrogance, her team got into massive danger and almost everyone got badly injured. By activating two magic at one time, her energy depleted quickly and they could not be sustained. She could do nothing but stood with fright as the judged came upon her, leaving her teammates to fend against the creature. Despite managing to secure the relic and defeat the Judged, the blows they received were fatal. They came back bloodied and bruised. It was a sombre victory and her teammates cursed at her upon their return.
With lesson learnt, the female started being more serious on taking up the dagger and crossbow as well learning Sacrifice to atone for her sins. It took her two years before she went on her second expedition, the last still fresh in her mind. Despite not excelling and not being the focus of attention, she became the core of defense, feeling the responsibility of the life of her teammates upon her shoulder. While activating the the Wall of light herself and letting another seeker to activate the glyphs she drew, they managed to reduce the usage of energy and increased the efficiency of defence. The victory was more joyful as they managed to finish the expedition with little to no casualty. Praised for her solid defense, the female secured a position in the Tenemous expedition.
