Lyse Falen
[edit]
UPDATED: 1/4/2019
Lyse Falen (Pronunciation: Lease Fah-lin), a woman given to fits of pique and random mood swings, but generally fully capable of sticking to her own moral compass, and a survivor of the battle of Carteneau, was born Lyse Hilde Marke, daughter of a fairly well-known member of the still fighting Ala Mhigan Resistance. Upon coming of age,
Tall and sturdy, Lyse stands fairly average for a Highlander female, and though her body is lithe and muscled, there is a definite curve near her hips and bust that overlay that muscle. Red hair and pale skin make it seem unlikely she grew up in the desert, and her eyes are a pale shade of gray that borders on white. Scars cover most of her body when visible, a plethora of wounds marked forever on her flesh; from Lichtenberg figures from hands-on lightning magic usage, to slash and puncture scars from various edged weapons, and even a few bite marks, from beast and man alike. In that, she is somehow the epitome of a juxtaposition between feminine and strength that is often off-set by the fact that her eyes -- framed as they may be by dark lashes -- often seem hard and unapologetic, and her face is generally blank when left to her own devices. Lyse has a few distinguishing marks that should be noticeable in various states of undress:
Sarcastic. Strong. Survivor. Bull-headed would be the best way to describe Lyse on any given day, as she is a woman who will argue her point -- especially if it is something she believes strongly in -- until the other party tires of hearing her and leaves. She refuses to give an inch and will often take a front-line position in any fight to keep others safe, even those she knows are fully capable of taking care of themselves; often volunteering to guard any sort of medic or healer, it isn't for the sake of glory but for the sake of the safety of those she loves and is going to battle with that Lyse offers herself up so often. Though perfectly capable of being serious should the situation call for it, Lyse much prefers a sort of detached coolness to most situations, preferring to adapt as needed over being serious at all times. This is especially true around members of Jutat De -- mostly Tayn -- and prior to her involvement with that group she seemed more likely to keep silent and to herself rather than engaging in a conversation without being provoked first. Lyse is, above all else, a survivor. She will not settle and be content with anything but what she wants; she will fight for it and die for it if she must, but the latter will not come without a fight and a lot of bloodshed on both sides. In the past this has led to some pretty standard black-outs -- considered berserker rage by story-telling -- and not remembering exactly what happened when she wakes in a mass of bodies and blood, but lately she seems to have gained control over that to some degree; this is likely a symptom of her attachment to her friends and family. Believed to be a distant relative of the Manderville's, Lyse also displays some of Godbert's disregard for the idea of cold temperatures and the ability to disrobe at leisure.

Though Lyse is known to go without weapons at all, she does have an arsenal that she goes for when the fight calls for it. This can include blunt and edged weapons alike, and sometimes it's just slight additions to her bare fists or feet that serve as her weapons for any given battle. This will be expanded eventually to include possible fight-styles or moves she's adapted. The favoured weapons, however, are as follows:
A moderately accurate account of Lyse's Stats and Attributes as they stand currently.
Her past is as it says, her past, and generally she isn't keen on sharing that information with everyone, but is fully capable of explaining it to those who come into her life and make an impact. (OOC: I'm too lazy to write it and honestly I'm very bad at writing things like that.)

There are various hooks to get one into RP with Lyse, and all you need to do is contact me to set one up and we'll see what we can do. :D
I'm a 33 year old woman with several disorders and a penchant for thinking I'm somehow in the wrong and that people hate me. I try to be open-minded and kind to the people I RP with and have fun, but in general it's better if we show each other mutual respect and try to go from there. I'm not against most things as far as RP goes, and I'm actually semi-okay at being uh... awesome, once you get in there, but I have pretty poor self-esteem at times and might gravitate towards self-deprecation. Call me out on it, I need to be, but this is just a blanket warning. I will RP mature themes with some caveats, which are mentioned well below, and am generally easy to get along with as long as you don't try to freak me out or accost me weirdly. <3
Overall, I'm pretty chill. I have a few things that I consider a bit too far as things go, but in some cases I'm fine with things others might not be, so here's some clarification:
