If someone needed a ship and they didn’t want someone to know they had it, they went there. The small town was mostly self-sufficient, living close to the sea for fish and near enough the land to grow what food they needed from there. Elysia’s father, Bill, was a sailor who settled down after losing a leg to a seaward Grimm attack, and married Vossia, Elysia’s mother. Vossia worked as a merchant and shopkeeper who bought and sold excess good from ships to people or travellers, and occasionally traded in trinkets the townspeople made. Charms by the children were particularly popular, since somewhere along the history of the town it was said that someone with one of these charms, as long as it was fairly gotten, would be guaranteed a safe voyage.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Vaucherio was born about five years before Elysia, and looked just like their mother - tall, pale blue hair, lithe and agile. He took to climbing the shoreline’s rock formations early, and when Elysia was born later, he taught her how to do it as well. From the cliffsides - some of which hung over the edge of the water like precipices, they would watch the ships go by. Vossia hated them climbing those hills, but it was one of Elysia’s favorite times. She and Vaucherio (who she called Vau, especially as a child) would stand out on the hill and even crafted a little hut out of the large, loose stones. They would spend all the time out away from the town that they could, until one day when the horizon began to darken. The sky would do that on occasion, usually meaning a rainstorm was coming their way, but this time it seemed a little bit different. Vaucherio told her to get down, and they started descending the rock face as fast as they could. It wasn’t fast enough. One of the strongest storms the coast had faced ripped through the town, and while Elyse and Vaucherio were about two-thirds of the way down the cliff the wind and rain made it impossible to go any further. They clung there for hours as the gale tried to free them from the edge of the cliff. Elyse thought they were going to die.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">They didn’t, but it got close. When the winds died down, they climbed down the rest of the way, about 100 feet onto the large flat rocks poking out of the white-waved waters. They made their way to the town, which was just beginning to unlock. Elyse hid behind Vaucherio, clinging to his soaked fleece jacket, as he knocked on the door of their house. Vossia slammed open the door with a look on her face that was one part relief and two parts fury. Elyse hid behind Vau as Vossia chewed him out for the danger, and about how worried she had been. They were banned from climbing the cliffs again, and as a punishment, Vossia sent Vau out to the dockyards with one of his father’s old friend to find work. Elyse was brought home and made to stay in town for the next two weeks. Vossia let Elyse help her at the shop, but she didn’t take well to that.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Vaucherio found work at the docks, but it didn’t suit him. He had started working side by side with an ex-hunter, a man named Reid Rona, who had left his work on the ship after it wrecked on the cliffs nearby and begun living in the city, and the old man had started teaching him some old tricks. Elyse thought that this was very cool and demanded to learn them too, so in the afternoons after she got out of school and Vau was back from work, they would run off to the edge of the woods and Vau would show her what the old man had shown him that day during their breaks.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Elysia was about eight when Vau stopped working at the docks altogether, having been fired for breaking a sailor’s arm with a crowbar after the man tried to steal a case of booze from one of the shipments. He came home that day, gathered up a bag, told Bill and Vossia that he was leaving, and hugged Elyse goodbye. As he left, he whispered to her that he was going off to become a Hunter, just like Rona had been, and that she wasn’t supposed to tell anyone else. Elyse kept her mouth shut about where Vaucherio went for four years. She spent her time instead reading and climbing and doing the things that she loved. She worked near the water with some of the rescue teams for when ships capsized near their dangerous coasts, but mostly just spent her time with her mother, at school, or reading in the small park in town. She played with a few of the children from school, but most of them couldn’t keep up with her in stamina or strength- the payoff from her life of adventurous activity. She grew tired of the small coastal town but had no intent to leave until a ship arrived with someone she couldn’t resist finding absolutely fascinating.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">A storm kept the ship docked for a month, and in that time Elyse became fascinated with both the passengers in general and one in particular. Shasta Drac was a faunus, so Elyse’s mother didn’t approve of them spending too much time together, but Elyse found ways around that. She would talk to him, and when she found out that he was the son of a hunter and was heading off to the mainland to study like his father did. Elyse picked up a stick nearby, grinned, and asked him if he knew anything yet. He shrugged and said that he didn’t want to go too hard on a newbie, especially one who didn’t have any training. Elyse took this as a challenge. After a quick bout, leaving them both with bruises and no clear victor, they grinned. They knew they were going to be friends.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">They continued sparring and playing for the rest of the month until the ship was ready to leave, and Shasta said that Elyse should come with them. Elyse was ecstatic, partially for the chance to leave the island, partially for the chance to see her brother again, and partially for the opportunity to learn to be a huntress. She went home, packed up her things, and told her father of her idea. He was supportive, saying that she had always seemed like a vibrant sort of person who should follow her heart. He told her that she had everything she needed to bloom right inside of her and that all she needed to do was go out and take it. Elyse was ecstatic and left with her father’s permission, and later, though by letter, her mother’s blessing.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Elyse and Shasta attended Sanctum Academy together for the first years of their education and then moved on together to Haven. During their first day there, Elyse met Tsai Harper, who happened to comment on the book she was reading. They were fast friends, even if Tsai didn’t talk much beyond book references and low murmurs about the level of brightness everywhere. Tsai was partnered up with Riley Chanterelle, who struck Elyse as one of the most brilliant people she had ever met, if a bit off-putting. The four of them, since Elyse was partnered with Shasta, were made into team RSET.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Elyse and Shasta kept up their sparring in the afternoon and evenings when they could, and she helped him with his homework (him not being the most studious of the group) in the evening. Shasta even took her up to the roof of the building one evening during a storm to help her get over her fear of thunder. It mostly worked. She and Tsai would often meet in the library when they went there for books, and he shared many of his books with her, since she hadn’t been able to bring many. They started taking their books outside, where the shade was dark enough for Tsai’s sensitive eyes and the sunlight was warm and nice enough for Elyse to recharge her aura after practice with Shasta. Elyse tried to get closer to Riley, who seemed the most distant of the team, but Riley put off every one of her attempts. When she invited her to go read, she said she had meetings. When Elyse asked her if they could study together, Riley said she was busy. Riley was never too busy to study!! Elyse was baffled by her team leader.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Their team worked well together, executing every operation asked of them with efficiency. With Riley communicating orders over headsets or with her Semblance, the team grew to fit together and run like a well-oiled machine. When they accompanied a Hunter on his mission both years, it went flawlessly, and during the summer and winter breaks the four team members would stay with Tsai’s family, who Elyse thought were relatively nice. She would send letters home to her family, since the islanders at her home didn’t really carry scrolls due to the frequent storms and the ore in the rocks that interrupts signals most days.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;">

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">During their second year at Haven, about two weeks before the tryouts for the VYTAL, Elyse, Shasta and Tsai were out following Riley on one of her ~ <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">mysterious <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">~ trips out of the school. They followed her through most of the town until she disappeared into a building that was pretty obviously labeled “DO NOT ENTER”. Shasta said they should enter anyway, and Tsai and Elyse followed him. A short ways in, they found men guarding the door. Tsai took them out as quietly and peacefully as he could and they went on. They found more this time, or rather were found, and ended up in a fight. A large pipe fell on Tsai’s leg, partially crushing it, and as Elyse held off the attackers, Shasta got him out of there. Needless to say, the team did not end up competing in the festival. Elyse heard Shasta and Riley shouting at each other one day after coming back from classes, and she decided it might be a better idea to simply head to the library instead and pick up some books for Tsai.

Then the Grimm set in. Regardless of any order, Riley, Shasta and Elyse helped defend Tsai’s home, where they were staying, from the Grimm that moved in. Until the school year resumed, they stayed put, helping other towns around. In fact, in one of these instances, Elyse even saw her brother at the town. He looked very different since she had last seen him nine years ago. He seemed in a hurry, but she shouted to him anyways. He didn’t seem to hear. Shasta made as if to chase after him, but Riley stopped him. Without further ado, they headed back to Tsai’s home, where he would be out tending the garden.

Dependable. While energetic, she does not heedlessly rush into things. She considers and makes sure to put serious thought into a matter before doing anything.

The two will often find quiet places around the campus of the school and read, Elyse in the sunlight and Tsai in the shade, when he can find it. She can always find him as a support and a reliable friend. She hopes that their relationship will continue to grow… maybe even into something more than friendship.

With Elyse as the only one who can keep up with him and he the only one fast enough to keep ahead of her two-handed technique, the two get along, but when they end up talking everyone else around tends to get annoyed, since their conversations can get so fast no one else can keep track. Elyse considers him reliable, honest, and even if he does occasionally let something simple slip by him, she knows that they can count on each other no matter what. He is a bearded lizard Faunus with spikes around his neck.

Riley and Elyse will often enjoy some quiet time together, but Riley is most often away studying. Elyse is sometimes worried about her drive for success, or that she drives herself too hard. Regardless of either of those two factors, Elyse cares deeply about her leader and trusts her, even if she thinks there must be something else troubling Riley. Even though Elyse has some clues, it doesn’t seem like Riley is too keen to open up to that any time soon.

Elyse tries to stay close to her mother even over the distance, since she knows that her mother cares about her, but she finds that more difficult with every passing day. As her views progress, it becomes harder to agree with her mother or honor her way of thinking, but she doesn’t intend to let on about that for the sake of their relationship.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">William “Bill” Kloris: Elyse’s father, who never had much to do with her when she was growing up. She remembers him fondly, as a caring and supportive father when he could be. Mostly, she remembers him as sickly, infirmed man who taught her how to read and how to tie the best knots “Remnant had ever seen.”

Elyse adores him and looks up to him, but she hasn’t seen him for a very long time. She wonders what he’ll think of her progress. He was always critical of her work, but he always did that in hopes of making her better. Elyse hopes she’s made him proud.

This is about four inches square, with a curved edge that holds in the hand starting from the front and then curving both ways back towards the stock. On the outside edge of both of these (the left side on the left-hand rifle and the right side on the right hand rifle), there is a slightly lighter emerald green (probably spray painted) version of her emblem. The darker green stripes wrap around it like vines and end in points. The wide barrel is a dark grey that borders on a cobalt blue and there are various notches and latches on it that aid in transformation. The stock is about six inches long and has a solid base attached. It is made of the same dark grey/cobalt blue steel. The action on top of the rifle is made of a lighter green color, almost pale, and has small scrollwork on it. <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Form 2: Dual longswords of approximately 2’6” length. <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Form 2 Aesthetics: When a mechanism is pulled inside the little hand barrier formed around the trigger on the rifles, they transform into longswords of similar length and width. The plating around the hand  curls in slightly on one side, and on the other side forwards to attach to the main body of the sword to accommodate a different grip on the weapon. The tip of the main plate of the action pops out and widens, becoming a second part of the crossguard. The rifle’s body widens and one side slides forwards to flatten out. Bladed edges appear from the sides and the green marks down the side multiply as they are divided in half. The exposed blade is black with  dark green crossmarks that angle back, making the sword look something like a series of arrows. A large green line is now visible down the path of it, making up the fuller. This is from a sliding of the plating of the barrel of the rifle. <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Form 3: A single large hand-held 8. caliber cannon, approximately 4’6” long. <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Form 3 Aesthetics: If additional mechanics are pulled and the weapons brought and slid together, they form into one cohesive unit- a small cannon. This has a back-loading action- green with leaf details that slide together from the large end sections on the rifles/longswords. The green stripes are still visible and the emblems present on the handguard of the rifle are now on opposite sides of the cannon’s barrel. <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Dust Usage:

Is mostly used on cannon shot.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Ice:  Adds growing ice from point of impact on rifle bullets and cannon shot. Not used or applied on longsword. Elysia tried this and it just froze the sword in place.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Lightning:  Adds an electrical charge to the rifle ammunition, the sword’s strike, or the cannon’s attack.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Water:  Adds a small splash of water around where the rifle bullet hits or a large splash (and I’m talking cannon-ball in the pool) of water where the cannonball lands. Not really used with the swords very often.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Ammunition:

Usually keeps six to ten on her person when going into combat. Dust magazines come with five .30 rounds, and she carries one of each fire, ice, lightning, and water.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Longswords:  She has small cores of dust available to insert into the swords that allow them to utilize dust. She keeps one of Fire and lightning available just in case, but hasn’t used them outside of learning how to work with them.

<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.38;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;text-indent:36pt;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">Cannon: Three 8. Caliber rounds per magazine, and she usually only has about three or four on her person at any time. These come in the same dust types as the rifle, but are packed individually. <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#d9d9d9;font-weight:400;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap;">

He had suggested it after hearing how the cannon sounded when fired, and when Elyse confessed to her fear of thunder, he told her that she definitely needed to name it after that, because she shouldn’t live in terror, flying from her fear, but should live with it, overcome it, and use it to make her stronger.

It allows for a faster aural recharge and can be used both in and out of combat, although only when in sunlight. Artificial light can technically work, but not nearly as well. This can act as low-level armor or as additional strength, keeping her from tiring, allowing her to lift and control greater weights, or allowing her to recharge her aura and physical strength faster. <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(217,217,217);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(217,217,217);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;">Range: Personal <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(217,217,217);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(217,217,217);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;">Type:   Conversion <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(217,217,217);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(217,217,217);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;">Visual Cue:  Aura becomes visible and begins to flare, almost like the sun’s corona flares. When activated, this is most noticeable, but it lessens in visibility while in activation. <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(217,217,217);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(217,217,217);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;">General Limitations: Requires direct sunlight to work at full capacity, requires some light (specifically in the blue or red spectrum) to work at all. Cannot fill aura more than it would usually fill, and is not an instant process. <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(217,217,217);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(217,217,217);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;">Reflection of Character: Elysia is a very bright and cheerful person by nature, and besides that she never does anything very suddenly or without giving it time to think. She also has a strong ability to come back from events that would have otherwise been devastating, like her brother’s leaving. In addition to this, she prefers the outdoors and the open air. Thus, a slow, sustained recharge from sunlight that offers strength, support, or an ability to keep going. <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(217,217,217);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(217,217,217);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;">C)Combat Info <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(217,217,217);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(217,217,217);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(217,217,217);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;">Preferred Range: Medium to long <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(217,217,217);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(217,217,217);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;">Landing Strategy:  Uses the recoil of her weapon’s cannon form to slow her descent <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(217,217,217);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:rgb(217,217,217);font-weight:400;white-space:pre-wrap;">Fighting Style: Head-on from a distance, keeping herself mobile over long distances.
