Name: Ahava Nigma
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Class: Oracle
Appearance: Ahava has long platinum hair and deep green eyes. Her skin is a fair tan due to her desert homeland. As with most magic users, her slim body cannot take very many physical hits, but her reflex training and previous battle experience has resulted in a fairly strong build (for a magic user); she can definitely take more than others.
Her battle attire consists of a light lilac armor vest covering her chest, upper back, and shoulders. Under the armor is a white leotard. The limited amount of armor keeps Ahava nimble and free from overbearing weight. She has a pair of strapped sandals that reach halfway up her calves. Long white gloves reach up her arms and help keep a good grip on her staff, as well as protect her from magic burns. Finally, she has gold chain around her head like a tiara. It holds a small sapphire between her eyes.
Personality: Ahava is a strong-willed independent person; it is the driving force behind her desire to change the future. So strong is this desire, she often attempts to rally the hopeless into believing that it is possible to defeat great evil no matter the odds. It also fuels her determination to not be so dependent on others like her magical counterparts; she has trained with a battle rod since the age of 8. Her constant use of specific spells has allowed her to memorize them with no problems, allowing for far easier staff use without constantly carrying a tome in her hands. Of course, with all these abilities comes some arrogance. Ahava sometimes goes over her head, especially when someone she knew was in trouble.
History: Ahava and her twin brother Evron were part of the Nigma family line of the Nabata Desert, very prolific in those born with the Sight. Ever since birth the two seem to have a psychic connection to each other; they can always sense each other no matter how far away they are. As the age of 7, both were put under the apprenticeship of an old sage, who tested not only their divination skills, but also their reflexes. He predicted (correctly I might add) that their sense of the future could be used to dodge attacks.
As a result, at 16, they served the village guard fighting off bandits. Although young, their Seeing skills and nine years of training proved they were more than prepared for the job. They mainly served as tacticians, though Ahava proved more than capable of joining the warriors in skirmishes. They rose through the ranks and eventually became co-captains of their own unit. Ahava learned most of her skills battling in the sands. At 22, both began getting visions of a terrible catastrophe: a rift in time was unleashing denizens of different universes into unknown lands. This rift would eventually get bigger, engulfing entire worlds and sending them off to oblivion. The two argued over how to interpret this. Evron saw the fate as stone, pleading to his sister to join his wife and newborn son in escaping to the rural mountainside in the north, hoping for safety from this catastrophe. Ahava, however, believed the future could change; their world could be saved. This rift could be closed, and their visions would play a vital role in their victory. After having a big argument over the matter, the two split ways. Evron quit the guard and began moving his family north, while Ahava stayed in her homeland to warn the elders of what was coming, so they could be more prepared.
After discussion with the elders, it was decided that Ahava would journey to the rift to find a solution. However, upon arriving, she was immediately sucked into the vast vortex, sending her to worlds she had never heard of…
Weapons: Battle Mace
A staff made specifically for physical fighting, the battle mace consists of a three foot iron rod and a large red spherical crystal attached to the top. Ahava uses this to defend herself against magic units and weak physical types. Magic from tomes is cast from the tip of her staff, and her memorization of the spells allows Ahava to hold the staff in two hands to either whack people or block some attacks. The downside: the heaviness of the staff results in slower casting of the desired spell.
With her seeing abilities, Ahava could plausibly spin the staff in time to block a stray arrow.
Armor: See Appearance for details. Armor is quite light, allowing for quick movements.
Magic: Ahava has the ability to create brief barriers to protect herself and others. These barriers are stationary; they serve as cover, not armor. Her healing spells are able to mend wounds of allies, but not her own. For offensive magic, she has her Crusader spell. This brand of holy magic summons one large needle-like projection. When embedded in a foe, the needle can erupt into smaller pieces, causing great internal damage.
Skills/Techniques: Ahava has the ability to predict the future. Usually, her predictions come as dreams, though it can be used to predict future tactics of the foe. There are drawbacks to this ability. One, being too focused on the future leaves her vulnerable to actions taking place in the present. Second, just because she can see something coming does not necessarily mean she can prevent it from happening.
Strengths: See the rest of the profile for details. Ahava is more well-built than most magic users. This gives her greater physical capabilities.
Weaknesses: Again, the rest of the profile goes into more detail.
Notes: For the purpose of RPB, Ahava’s reflex training will be less emphasized in battle. Also, she's based on the Fire Emblem universe, specifically the Blazing Sword. She is not within thegame's timeline however.
