Basic Information Name: Mayliana White Belryne Nickname: "Blade", "Shield", "May" Race: Human Gender: Female Height: 6'1'' (185 cm) Weight: 140 lbs (63 kg) Age: 19 years of age. Birthdate: 40th Day of Spring, Year 494 Birthplace: Syliras Marks: None
Appearance Taking pride in her stature, Mayliana Belryne stands at just over six feet tall, putting her on equal eye level with most average-sized human men. She does not have the typical smooth and slender female's build - though retaining her feminine shape, her daily physical conditioning allows her to maintain some form of athletic and muscular physique, making her very fit - she has a female warrior's frame.
Her smooth black hair falls straightly down to her shoulders. While she appears to be physically attractive and can be deceptively beautiful and harmless, a deep look into her light-blue eyes would reveal a strong-willed, tough woman. She carries with her a serious demeanor, sometimes lightened when she is in moods of joy or celebration. Her skin is a light, pretty color. She takes special care of her appearance, trying to keep her face at least clean of the day's dirts and works, and her obsession with maintaining her hair shows with how well kept it appears. She speaks with a commanding voice and tone, though she would not know how to utilize it, never having been in any sort of leadership position.
Her body is clear of any unusual markings, including scars or tattoos, save for one - she bears a small, one inch birthmark on the side of her stomach, level with her bellybutton.
Personality Mayliana Belryne had always had a kind heart - but being forced to live in the Wildlands when she turned ten years changed her. She became a serious person, taking less and less joy in activities and more focused on her and her "tribe"'s survival, even if only a two day's walk from Syliras. She often glances stern looks at others, often misconstruing herself as mean-spirited or plotting. Only close family, friends and neighbors have been able to make her smile.
She is open-minded, and listens to mostly all views and backgrounds. Her own moral sense of justice guides her, and she is mostly level-headed and calm unless dealing with her own prejudices and fears. She is obsessive with her hair and only slightly with her looks, and she keeps her weapons polished and primed. She is superstitious, making her especially cautious around any undeads she may come across - and non-human life forms in particular.
When it comes to practice and personal health, Mayliana is very disciplined. She keeps a tight schedule of self-management to keep herself fit. Her sword-practice is most valued to her, and Mayliana esteems to one day fulfill the role of a Swordsman which her father once held.
Mayliana is loyal, strong-willed, tough, and nice to those close to her. But she isolates herself from most people, can be cold, obsessive, and nostalgiac.
History
Parents :
Mayliana Belryne was born in Sylrias in Spring of 494 to her father Ginnao Belryne and her mother Adrianne White. Ginnao was a swordsman adventurer who traveled in a small group - he was renown by the other 4 to be the greatest swordsman they'd ever lain their eyes upon. Great, yes - but honorable, not always.
Before he'd met Adrianne, Ginnao had gone graverobbing to find a rich man's fortune that had been buried with him. Two of his partners had gotten greedy, and a fight broke out - a fight that ended with him and his loyal partner alive. The pile was split, and they thought it best to let their group's name die there with their infamy.
Ginnao celebrated his own way - by travelling to Sylrias and barging into the nearest tavern. He drank some of his coin away, but met a very pretty woman there - a server, Adrianne. Adrianne was seventeen, working for her father, much younger than Ginnao, who was almost in his thirties. But she had beautiful black hair, a pretty face, and a promising future and aura that could forgive Ginnao's sins and lead him to a path of righteousness.
Ginnao fell in love with her, bought a small apartment in the keep with his fortune and married her. One year later, Mayliana was born.
Childhood :
Mayliana was a bright, optimistic, positive child.
While Ginnao had trouble adjusting to his married, working life, Adrianne raised Mayliana as a stay-at-home, responsible mother. Adrianne saw to it that Mayliana was always pampered and cared for. But she too, had her own problems. Adrianne's father condemned her choice of husband, and further resented her for raising his child. Adrianne's father would constantly harass her, and even be so rash as to break things in the apartment while Ginnao was gone, usually drinking at the local tavern. But when Ginnao was around, all was quiet, he never visited.
As Mayliana grew, she adored both of her parents. She hadn't been schooled yet, but she loved to hear stories about Ginnao's adventures. Ginnao would recall stories of his past, exaggerating his skill as a master swordsman, and recalling stories that may or may not have happened. She loved these stories, and with each passing story, her love for her father grew, and at five years old, he carved for her a wooden practice sword. But with each passing story, a longing in Ginnao was brought up - the nostalgic feelings for the adventurer's life were stirred within him. The drinks no longer helped, and he could no longer sit idly - he thought himself legendary through his own exaggerations. He picked up his sword, kissed his daughter and now-resentful wife goodbye - and left to resume his true calling, an adventurer's life.
Adrianne was crushed, and was now left to raise six-year old Mayliana all on her own. Worse, her father's "I told you so"s and violent outbursts only scared and tortured her fragile emotional state more. There was a calling in Sylrias; a flyer stood taped to the castle wall, calling for a small group of individuals discontent with their lives to leave to the Wildlands, to seize their own lives and live on their terms. Of irrational mind, Adrianne took her belongings and her seven-year old daughter and left.
Mayliana was completely crushed. The Wildlands were a dangerous place, and they were a three-day's walk from Sylrias. Her friends were left behind, and her father was gone. Mayliana stayed awake every night for hours, wondering when her father would arrive back home. She did this for years. Her mother resented the man, and was disappointed in Mayliana for standing by him, even in this time. She cast him from memory, the only tie to him being Mayliana.
One year later, after a village resident went to retrieve letters and belongings from Sylrias, Adrianne was presented with a sword and a letter. Mayliana knew that sword from anywhere - it was her father's. Mayliana knew what the news would be, but she refused to believe her father was dead. Adrianne felt a shred of guilty pleasure, but it only brought her more madness. She cast the sword as hard as she could throw off of the local cliffside. Mayliana did not sleep that night - only cried. She would still wait up every night, childishly waiting for her father to return. She would do this until she turned to her teen years.
Of the Village :
The village they resided in was a three day's walk from Sylrias. It consisted of eighteen people, sometimes more, sometimes less (the Wildlands are a harsh place, and the wildlife can sometimes become out of control - many people become injured or killed), but at least an average of eighteen. They were close-knit and protected by hunters and others capable of this kind of survival. Their motives were all different, but they were able to pool together a common interest and create six village houses for them to live, some of which were shared. They were wood and straw and built closely together in case of hardships, bandits or other troubles. Mayliana was the only child there - most of these people were widows, outcasts or other such men and women of misfortune. They understood the risks and the insanity of their plans. REVIEWER'S NOTE: May does not live in this town, nor do the residents any longer. I would like to reveal this in a thread if possible, instead of in my character sheet. She is currently travelling after leaving her village.
Mayliana's Teenager Years :
While Mayliana was no longer a young naive girl, she was at least kind and bright. She had been schooled by her mother and some of the other villagers on general knowledge and language. She often went hunting with one of the others, him teaching her how to string a bow and hit a target. She adjusted, but she was beginning to grow cold, and there were none her age for her to socialize with. She learned respect and how to act like an adult quickly - at least one of the people who resided here was a past criminal, and had a short fuse for anger.
May was given responsibilities and duties, and treated fairly. She worked as all the others did. And in her spare time, she practiced with her training sword. At first, her mother protested, but seeing her resolve, she could not stop Mayliana. The feelings brought about anger in her mother, and she would often scold Mayliana for it. But Mayliana persevered against her wishes, doing what still brought her joy. Her father was but a memory now, and no longer kept her up at night, though she still had a soft spot for him. She would feel personally hurt when her mother would bring him up in spiteful memory.
Mayliana grew a strained relationship with her mother over her aspirations. Her mother wanted her to move back to Sylrias to find a suitable husband and life as a housewife, as she did. But Mayliana had another calling in her heart, one that showed of open roads and travel, to take to the wilderness as her father once had. Her mother would have none of it, and scolded her daughter each time.

Mayliana's longsword is the last relic of her father, or even her parents, that she has. After finding it in the wilderness after her mother lobbed it as far as she could see, she has held and treasured it ever since. It is unremarkable but sturdy and made of steel. It has a guard and is chipped in a small spot on one of the edges. It is scratched up and recently unpolished, and bears the insignia "Ginnao Belryne" inscribed into the handle.
Housing
Life's journeys are uncertain. Mayliana cannot return home, and she does not know why. She takes solace in the distraction of adventure, seeking atonement for her esteemed mistakes.

Adrianne was a Sylrian citizen with black hair and beautiful blue eyes. Her mother died of childbirth, and her father raised her as a tavern-owner. Her father was hard and very traditional, and condemned her choices to marry her husband, being able to see what he truly was. She left her father's care after falling in love with her husband while working as a barkeep, becoming a stay-at-home mom. Her father constantly harassed her, and after a cruel leave by her husband when Mayliana was only six, Adrianne changed location to hide from her father.
Adrianne is kind, but controlling, overprotective, timid when in the presence of authority, and physically frail.
Father
Name: Ginnao Belryne Type: NPC
Ginnao would tell one he's a dashing adventurer seeking his fame and fortune and the thrill of life. Had one met him years ago, they would see his life of banditry and maltreatment. He and his group are responsible for at least six murders, many robberies and many hijacks. Their most recent (and last) job was to dig up the grave of a rich man and steal the fortune that was buried with him. Fortunately, it was there. Unfortunately, his partners wanted more than their shares.
He left his wife to re-join his old "adventures" and seek a new crew to travel with. He has not been heard from since, other than his sword that was found in a field - his name was inscribed on the hilt.
Ginnao is daring, adventurous, cut-throat, selfish, manipulative, and cruel. But he is stong, a decent swordsman, a clever bandit, and decent-looking.
