Profile

Avira, novice member of the small Clan Dagda of Rabanastre, leader of the mark-hunting trans-world group VALKRYI, has completely abandoned her past life. Originally from Brooklyn, she found herself pulled through the darkness when her part of the world fell and was displaced into Ivalice. After a harrowing experience spent fleeing the wild animals and Heartless of the Giza Plains, she adopted the name Avira and feigned amnesia to the clan that had saved her life. Pushing herself to the limit, she managed to train herself up to combat competence, making use of the Spine, an odd serrated sword crafted from the last object she grabbed before she was swallowed by the darkness. Eager to attain the respect of her peers and become a famous Sky Pirate, she searches the shattered worlds for answers, skills, and allies to drive the darkness back.

The Story Thus Far

Warning, large amounts of text ahead of Avira's on-MUSH history. Arcs to be added as they happen.

Brave New World

There is nothing really worth noting about Rosalie Levine before Earth was destroyed. She hailed from Brooklyn and was the assistant of a chiropractor.

When Earth fell to darkness, she found herself waking up upon the Giza Plains of Ivalice, which had yet to undergo the transformation into the World of Ruin. Wandering alone, she was forced to contend with wild monsters and Heartless alike. Fighting for survival, she eventually collapsed to her extensive wounds. Fortunately, she was discovered by a small Rabanastre-based clan named Clan Dagda. They took her in and nursed her back to health.

Believing that Earth had been destroyed, she adopted a new name-Avira-and vowed to remake herself into a somebody. She swore fealty to the clan and sought the help of their mercenary ally, Angantyr Vespar, eager to learn how to fight and hunt.

However it wasn't long before Avira ventured out into the shattered worlds, looking for answers like so many others about the Heartless plague. Through her wanderings she discovered that a piece of her true world did still exist in the form of the Island of Manhattan. She met other survivors, such as Mercade Alexander, but elected to conceal her origins. Eventually, she would ally herself with the Twilight Detective Agency. Of course, against a detective as sharp as him, he eventually noticed that several of her mannerisms were out of place for someone purportedly from Ivalice!

In her travels she also met a werewolf named Skoll Ulfang. Having seen he was a proficient fighter and hunter, she wheedled him into taking her as a student. Unknown to her, Skoll was a pawn of the Gaudium Lords, his memories manipulated into thinking that the Red-haired man had destroyed his world. This lead to an unfortunate incident where Avira confronted the Red-haired man alone and was nearly killed in the process due to his overwhelming power. A distraught Skoll subjected her to more intense training in result, abandoning her in a wolf-filled forest. This training exercise was complicated further by the Reaper Sho Minamimoto, who placed dangerous Taboo Noise in the forest. In the process, Avira discovered the power of the Beastmaster Voice but was ultimately rescued when Skoll posted a note asking for the help of "Players."

While encountering many wild and dangerous Heartless wherever she traveled, Avira took notice of other women similar in goal to her-none standing out more than the fire mage Maira. She and Maira became fast friends and, along with the axe-wielding battle maid Vespa, formed the mercenary group VALKYRI. Though one of their prime directives was to travel a lot, they established a guild hall in Traverse Town to serve as a base of operations and temporary place to stay.

The Maid Incident

Set in motion by the constant fleeing of the Princess of Heart Jasmine, who took refuge in Balamb Garden, Avira's encounter with Morrighan Alazne could have amounted to any encounter on a battlefield. Morrighan was a white mage assisting Baigan at the time, so naturally Avira employed the most reliable strategy for disrupting healing support: punching the mage in the face.

Unfortunately, Morrighan Alazne was the type to hold a grudge.

Some time later, she ordered then Baron-allied dark knight Kaydin to arrest Avira and bring her to Baron. Much to Morrighan's surprise, Kaydin actually succeeded in apprehending the huntress after a fierce fight in the desert. Avira's abduction had, fortunately, not gone unnoticed.

Morrighan decided Avira would do well as her own personal servant and forced her into a maid dress-that is after she laid an enchantment around Avira's throat that she could use to disable her, if needed, screwing up plans of escape. Thankfully, a curiously large group of people from Maira, to an annoyed Angantyr, to the Princess Jasmine, to Garland himself, to Mercade who by sheer coincidence was exploring the Baron sewers with King Mickey and Sarafina Carenze's husband converged upon the castle and enabled her escape.

Prior to the rescue, a memory sphere containing recorded images of Avira in the dress had been made by Morrighan. This sphere, unfortunately, later fell into the hands of Ivo Galvan. Right away, he used the footage to slander the Shard Seeker rivals. Rumors of the VALKYRI having side-jobs of maids persist to this day. Thus started her current enduring rivalry with Morrighan.

The Manhattan Project

Spearheaded by LEXUS, the Shadow Lords began a widespread campaign against Manhattan, the remnants of Earth. This first came to Avira's attention when David Xanatos posted advertisements for mercenaries to protect the city against increased Heartless aggressions. It was the perfect opportunity for VALKYRI to establish themselves though Avira secretly promoted the job since it was the world she originated from.

Investigation into the Heartless surge lead Avira down into the Labyrinth to where gargoyle-like creatures known as Mutates resided. One of the mutates, Fang, turned out to have betrayed the others to work with Dr. Anton Sevarius. Further investigation into the Labyrinth lead to a secret lab where Sevarius was engaging in dangerous experiments with Heartless and Darkness, testing on a number of captured homeless people and aid workers. While fighting off the dangerous experiments and crazed Fang within the lab, Avira managed to swipe a copy of Sevarius's research-but at a price. While her back was turned, Sevarius injected her with an unknown substance.

Afterwards, Avira and Will Sherman engaged in a small rescue mission. Unknowingly, this mission actually brought them in the vicinity of Manhattan's World Heart. A pair of lost paranormal reporters were rescued but the others that had escaped into the depths of the Labyrinth were lost.

When the lab was destroyed, a massive amount of captive Heartless were unleashed upon the city. The Shadow Lords began their invasion. Though many heroes fought valliantly that day, they were overwhelmed. A final rush to the World Heart began and Avira was amongst those who went to defend it. During this battle, she was struck down by Loki, a malevolent fae that had been contained within Will's body, released by Riku's efforts to destroy him. LEXUS's Darkness rushed into her, triggering the substance Sevarius had put into her days before. As Manhattan's heart was devoured by Heartless, Avira changed into a darkness-imbued mutate. As the world fell to darkness, Skoll pulled her away to safety.

Distraught, Avira snapped at Angantyr upon seeing him again, angry that he had taken jobs to help the Shadow Lord's operation. Filled with guilt, he approached LEXUS, eager to make some sort of bargain, admitting his love for Avira before the shadow lord. LEXUS took full advantage of the situation, giving a cure for Avira's condition in exchange for Angantyr becoming mutated himself. He accepted, but the produced cure, of which there was only one, was given to Garland to distribute.

Her mutated form attracted quite a bit of unwanted attention, from a Gaudium Lord trying to forcefully recruit her to the Shadow Lord Ember trying to get her to fall to her darkness by kidnapping Maira.

After retrieving the cure from Garland, Avira brought it to Merlin for duplication, incurring the debt of a favor to be repaid later in the process. The cure, while it removed the extra darkness infesting Avira and Angantyr, it did not appear to undo the animal mutations caused by Sevarius's serum in Avira.

Though she held on to the hope that the mutations were just slow to fade, eventually she became distraught that they wouldn't and that the three potential loves in her life-Mercade, Skoll, and Angantyr, wouldn't love her if she looked like a monster. She never really considered that they would accept her that way. Sensing her despair, Hades appeared and offered her a deal, restoring her human form in exchange for working for him in her mutate form when needed. There was even an escape clause built in to this contract: Avira would become permanently human if she received true love's kiss while a mutate. Foolishly, she accepted.

News of a way to restore Manhattan was eventually made available by Merlin. They would need to retrieve several elemental shards from the world and unlock them with the power of a keyblade! Happily, Avira participated in many of the missions-but for the purpose of the Wind Shard, which was in the hands of Hades, Avira didn't have a choice. She was ordered to participate in the tournament.

Fortunately, their team won! Quite curiously, Hades handed over the Wind Shard with little issue-well, except for having the winning team sign a marketing contract.

The shards were collected-but not all of them, as Merlin revealed that there was a final shard called the Spirit Shard that had to be collected. Based on guidance from Mama Odie, it seemed that the spirit shard was most likely contained inside a person. Turns out that person was the Dusk Princess of Manhattan. Unfortunately, Hades knew that person was Avira. Hades revealed this and the contract she had made with him in front of everyone working to restore the world, forcing Avira back into her mutate form. Ashamed, she promptly fled.

She was unable to run forever and was caught by none other than Katyna herself and delivered to the Underworld. (Morrighan even got in on the action, further cementing her animosity of the elf.) Fortunately, her friends braved Hell itself to retrieve her with Mercade managing to break Hades's contract on the spot-with a kiss.

At the next Saturday, which was the proper time intended, Sora and those working towards Manhattan's restoration braved the darkened world. To bring it back, they had to recreate the World Heart with a great source of light. With the keyblade, Sora unleashed the light in Avira's heart, which in turn drew light from those who were there fighting to restore the world, and was completed with light from all those that were displaced from Manhattan. The process was something Avira may not have survived had it not been for Sora pulling her body from the reconstructed World Heart and Isaac Hanlon intervening.

With much of her light gone, it's unlikely that Avira can still be considered a Dusk Princess. However, since then, setting foot in Manhattan never fails to fill her with peace.

Samsara of Battle

Through Angantyr, Avira was unfortunate enough to catch the attention of his mentor, Garland. Recognizing Avira's desire to grow stronger and push beyond her limits, he decided to take her as a "student.". This, unfortunately, amounted to not only being spied on constantly by Garland and his minions but included the stipulation that the embodiment of Chaos could attack her at any place or any time.

An additional wrench was thrown into the system when Avira, along with a number of TDA and VALKYRI members, went to stop Morrighan from draining magic from the Iifa Tree. Garland himself took offense at this act, which summoned the Fiend of the Earth, Lich. Isaac Hanlon, however, stood in the way of Garland's vengence upon Morrighan and spirited her to safety. Complicit in the wizard's plans, Avira also defended the elf when the hunter Clayton came to collect on the bounty posted by Garland.

Garland was not happy.

As punishment, Angantyr was paid to destroy the VALKYRI headquarters and the surrounding buildings. Though Angantyr warned Avira ahead of time and did manage to evacuate those nearby and bring a considerable force to bare, the act seemed to more or less sunder the friendship between the huntress and the mercenary.

Combat Skills

Although inexperienced in the ways of actually fighting (reflected in a lower than average CST in the combat system for now), Avira does have a few advantages to her so far that put her above the average NPC.

The Spine: Avira possesses an odd mythril weapon known as "The Spine," which is a heavy serrated sword that looks like a straightened spinal column with the tailbone and pelvis forming the hilt. Aside from being extremely nimble with adjusting the grip to hit effectively, from two handed to one handed as needed, something about it is disquieting to those aligning with the darkness. Avira claims that the core of the weapon is made from something from the piece of her world that "doesn't exist anymore" and essentially gives her the willpower to beat Heartless to oblivion with it.

Ice Magic: Though she could take the time to study the different elements of black magic, Avira has chosen to specialize in ice magic. Completely unaccustomed to exerting magical skill, so far she's only learned low level ice magic. To compensate for the lack of power, she has focused on refinement and control and can apply the magic in strategic and unusual ways, such as applying it to the Spine or the ground beneath an enemy. One of her favorite outside of combat uses for this skill is to make frozen drinks. Achieving mastery over higher power spells will take time and practice, but will happen eventually.

First Aid: Yes, she has the license for that.

From the Heart: So how does someone whose adventuring experience measure in mere months manage to competently keep up with the rest of a dangerous world? By fighting with her whole heart. Occasionally this manifests as a faint silvery glow but is mostly noticeable in just how much effort she seems to physically expend to pull anything off. This is pretty much the given explanation for anything ridiculous that happens via csys.

!Control: As fallout from continuing training with Skoll, Avira discovered how to use the "Beastmaster Voice," which is basically the !Control skill from Final Fantasy 5. Her abilities with this are very weak and in dire need of practice, though appear to be the most successful with wolves and wolf-like creatures. In scenes, this skill is usually indicated by words in yellow text.

Former Mutate: Avira was a mutate with the appearance of a hideous brown-furred raven/wolf/snake chimera-type creature. Unlike the mutates of the Gargoyles world, she has no electro-powers. (This is here as a historical note.)
