Amelica Lycoris

Oathbreaker Amelica Priette Lycoris

Amelica Lycoris was born in the Web of Time in 2321 DO, to the High Priestess Arachnia Lycoris, her first child, Amelica was always expected to become tied to the priesthood of He Who Does Not Sleep, but Arachnia was elated when, during Amelica's Crystal Ball Ceremony, Amelica was found to be one of those chosen for the life of a Paladin.   In the earlier days of Amelica's training, Amelica was one of two Paladins, she met Orion Laurel at least once a year in the years before his death. She was known to be friendly with him, training alongside him on occasion. When Orion died for falling asleep, Amelica Lycoris was the one to lead his funeral, one of the first of many Funerals Amelica was taught to lead.   Even at her early age, Amelica was shown to be, even for Fate's chosen Paladins, a prodigy with frequent, vivid visions. Allowing her to see many impending events and steer them in beneficial ways for He Who Does Not Sleep's religion and specifically benefited The Web of Time, allowing Arachnia Lycoris to handle supposed heretics and threats to the city. However, Amelica's visions were also known to be violent and painful, it was not uncommon for her eyes to bleed and Amelica to be found screaming and clutching herself for a long time after a vision passed.   Fortunately, Amelica's younger sister, Xune Lycoris, was a Cleric, much like Amelica was originally intended to grow into. Amelica rarely travelled without Xune, often relying on her for comfort and interpretation of her visions.   Amelica had six younger siblings in total. Xune, Viyolia, Malice, Gwylyss, Shylia and the youngest, Zilvra. While she often took care of her younger siblings, she was troubled by her visions often showing horrific and violent things happening to them.   Zilvra Lycoris was not born before Amelica Lycoris left The Web of Time, they have not met, in spite of being sisters.   Though Amelica was closest to Xune Lycoris, she seemed to show particular attention to her only brother, Gwylyss Lycoris, gifting him both his first violin (previously hers, prompted by a short lived interest in music) and later her hair ribbon when he left for bard school.   When Silvyr became a new Paladin to The Sleepless Forest, Amelica Lycoris began having somewhat frequent visits to him, in part due to his lack of parents, the Clerics requested Amelica would help with training Silvyr in his paladin duties. Amelica was known to be fond of Silvyr, occasionally bringing him gifts from the Web of Time. Amelica, unlike the Clerics was not against Silvyr's interest in Artificery, considering it yet another way Fate showed Silvyr his favour through a talent for it. Unlike Amelica, Silvyr's paladin visions were far less violent.   Despite the years upon years of Amelica seeming to be a faithful and dilligent worshipper of He Who Does Not Sleep, in 2494 DO Amelica Lycoris abandoned The Web Of Time, becoming an Oathbreaker. Alongside Amelica herself, she stole a piece of The Astrolobe that had been previously stored in the Web of Time. Since Amelica first left the religion of He Who Does Not Sleep, she had been seen back in his territories on occasion. Mostly committing a further sin against the cult, necromancy. She keeps stealing the bodies of Paladins for some form of Undead Army. Amelica has never explained what for, and knocks out any who get in her way.   Unbeknownst to the followers of He Who Does Not Sleep, Amelica Lycoris has run to The Pirate Isles, having taken control of a ship, using the Undead Paladins as her crew.   Within the Pirate Isles, Amelica runs a fairly popular store, selling a variety of treasure she's found amongst the oceans of Tempricida. She is known by a lot of the other pirates, spending many nights partying on shore after a successful trip out on sea. In spite of her large pools of allies, occasionally bedfellows, Amelica does not bring any of the living with her on her ship, called The Shattered Web, claiming she is aware of some danger that will seek her on the sea. Despite efforts to request Amelica allow others to see this danger for the thrill of a memorable fight, Amelica refuses to bring anyone else to whatever is happening out on the sea.   Amelica also has a particular fondness for a Travelling Merchant who wanders Tempricida, in spite of Amelica's distaste for the Fate Cult and The Merchant being the Zlefrost Representive of He Who Does Not Sleep, when they met in the Pirate Isles he seemed to have no issue with the Oathbreaker, the two quickly bonding over their mutual interest in rare and interesting artifacts. The Merchant somehow always seems to make it to the Pirate Isles when Amelica is back on shore, often performing one of his bardic performances for her, and supposedly the other pirates, though he seems to also have some form of affection for Amelica Lycoris.   At some point, Amelica has abandoned her old sword, selling it to a stranger from Seculas who was interested in Tempricidan cultural artifacts. She instead uses a Scythe she discovered during her adventures, the scythe appears to change forms between it's weapon form and taking the form of a small golden ring, a tiny crystal sphere embedded on the band.   Amelica Lycoris claims to be a follower of He Of The Roaring Waves, though she also admits that this is mostly out of respect for the people of the Pirate Isles for accepting her entering their islands. She also states that praying to He Of The Roaring Waves for calm seas feels safer to her than simply leaving it in the hands of her former deity.

History

Amelica Lycoris was originally born as a result of Arachnia hoping to secure an heir to the Lycoris family after securing power. Amelica being chosen as a Paladin complicated this, but was also a great source of pride and familial reputation for Arachnia. Arachnia raised Amelica closely, both as her mother and the one to train her and teach her the rites and rituals and responsibilities of a Paladin.   However, since Amelica oathbroke, Arachnia was quick to disown and disavow her eldest child.

History

Amelica is Xune's older sister. The two are very close in age, and as a Cleric, Xune was responsible for helping heal Amelica and interperated many of her visions. Prior to Amelica Oathbreaking, the two were almost inseporable, but Amelica has only met with Xune once since, and it did not result in Xune leaving with her or Amelica returning to the Web of Time.

Relationship Reasoning

Close aged sisters, Xune admired and cared deeply for Amelica prior to Amelica leaving The Web of Time.

History

Viyolia was raised to view her eldest sister in high regard as the Paladin. Unlike Xune, who was incredibly close to Amelica their whole lives, she saw her sister much less.   After Oathbreaking, Viyolia seems to resent Amelica for the affect she's had on the family reputation.

While much of Malice's family were openly hostile to her growing up. Amelica was very rarely in Malice Lycoris' presence. While she wasn't much protection, she never showed any hostility to her tiefling sibling, occassionally making efforts to include her in the family.   Since her oathbreaking, Malice has considered Amelica little more than a traitor.

History

Though Gwylyss didn't know Amelica very well, her influence on him is clearly seen. Even despite claiming hatred of her after the breaking of her Oath and abandonment of the Fate religion, Gwylyss still wears her hair ribbon in his hair.   Amelica was, in contrast to the rest of his family, particularly caring to Gwylyss. As she was older by the time of his birth, her training had become less all encompasing to her life, perhaps freeing her time to dote on her new youngest sibling. Gwylyss in turn seems to have taken her in his life as a source of comfort and admiration. She was even the source of his initial interest in music.   When Amelica abandoned the cult Gwylyss was the longest holdout in the family for it to be a misunderstanding, believing Amelica wouldn't abandon their family so callously. But eventually he was made to admit she was not going to return and meant to leave forever.

Relationship Reasoning

A pair of siblings. Amelica was particularly fond of Gwylyss as a young child, in turn he idolised her and still somewhat does.

Commonalities & Shared Interests

Both Amelica and Gwylyss have a slow loss of attachment to their family and God. The two initially bonded over music, though Amelica herself had less trained skill in music, she enjoyed listening to Gwylyss play.
