Fortune

Carolith Sychthee (a.k.a. Fortune)

MIRACLE AFTER BIRTH

On a snowy night in Seolos of 4697 4.P., a baby girl was born to two poor Archian wheat farmers in a barn. She was never given a name, because her parents both died of a plague the next day. But everyone in the town was shocked to find the baby girl alive and completely untouched by the plague. Thus she was given the title 'Fortune', which has stuck with her throughout her life.

EARLY LIFE

A young blacksmith, one of the higher class in the town, took Fortune under his wing and took care of poor orphan. He called her Carolith, but no one ever referred to her by that name. When she was eight, her guardian taught her basic infantry skills, complete with open field tactics. She rapidly became the best sword fighter in town and was known to be able to handle herself in a fight against multiple enemies. Being poor by nature, she learned how to use a hunting bow and always wore a quiver of arrows wherever she went, even if she only carried her arming sword.

RISE TO INFAMY

Fortune became a legend and hero in the eyes of the lower class of Archia after she killed a tax collector who was harassing one of her neighbors. Archian guards from a nearby town attempted to apprehend the her, but she managed to slay them all in the market square of her town, a total of fourteen soldiers. Although hailed by her town a hero, Fortune realized it would not be long before the Archian Military would come after her, and so she fled south to Tsonlar, who was at war with Archia at the time.

FINDING HER PURPOSE

After fleeing her hometown and losing everything except her armor and sword, Fortune found a home for herself in the inner city streets of The Deep in Tsonlar, creating a name for herself and acquiring a good deal of money by doing odd jobs for gang leaders. After getting mixed up in a war between two rival gangs, Fortune found a way out of the low life of the streets via a new acquaintance: Hex Brightcreek, a mysterious gardener. Hex brought her into an organization known as 'The League of Five', whose purpose was to sustain peace in the continent as long as they were able. Using means of force, magic, and diplomacy, the League was able to bring an end to the long war between Archia and Tsonlar, bringing about peace and prosperity in the respective lands.

LEGENDS FROM THE LEAGUE OF FIVE

Fortune joined the League of Five (aka the Cult of Lucifus) in the early months of 4722, and immediately rose the ranks of fame because of her daring success during missions. Perhaps her most famous endeavor was the assassinate the youngest of the Elyemas twins, Ignis. In the early hours of the 23rd day of Atember 4733, Fortune scaled the keep tower in the guarded river city, Saelmere. She silently took out the personal guard of the Lord, but found herself in the middle of a trap. Ignis was not actually in the city; instead, there was a battalion of soldiers expecting his assassination. Using her old arming sword, Fortune slayed six of two score soldiers, wounding another fourteen. She made her escape from the death trap by jumping out of the high window and grabbing onto a dangling rope before she hit the ground. Even thought the mission was a failure, it showed to every royal across the continent, that they were not safe from assassination. The Archian Royalty put a bounty on her head for 650,000 Ichranum Bits, an absurd price, but it showed to everyone how dangerous they knew Fortune to be.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Fortune Schythee gives off a show of strength and wellness, but in reality, her physical health is deteriorating rapidly. A number of ailments plague her constantly, as well as the dormant plague still alive inside her, which could trigger any moment and kill her, as it did her parents. No one else knows this, since Fortune keeps all this to herself.

Mental characteristics

Employment

Commonly employed as an enforcer for gangs, Fortune is actually quite levelheaded and merciful, giving her 'clients' every opportunity to pay debts or complete tasks. But if anyone messes with her on a personal level, her extreme fighting skills and weapon mastery is swiftly dealt to her opposition. This is what attracted Hex Brightcreek of the League of Five to approach her and recruit her.

Mental Trauma

Fortune lost her parents before she even knew them, and the mental toll of growing up an orphan under her guardian affected her entire life. Whether or not she knows it, it still does.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

All motivation comes from a reckless pursuit of death, caused by her constant mental and physical suffering. On almost any given day, Fortune wishes to die. This makes her a fearful enemy to anyone, because she will fight you to the death if necessary. Her lack of fear makes her one of the most feared combatants in all of Min'usu'une.

Wealth & Financial state

Fortune, despite what her name might make someone think, is rather poor. She grew up in poverty, and when she acquired large sums of gold during her stay in Tsonlar, she gave it all away to those in need. As a member of the League, she merely gets by, completing missions in exchange for food and shelter at the headquarters in the Archian Territory.
