The Pact Commander (Syrlya) ⬥ Guild Wars 2 ⬥ Athuria (reserved)
Name: Athuria
Contact: Plurk, Discord, email, etc.
Other characters: N/A
Invited by: Ichi
Opt-outs: No opt-outs, go wild.
Smut Opt-in: Yes
Name: Syrlya (The Pact Commander - malleable protagonist)
Canon: Guild Wars 2
Canon point: Post-End of Dragons
Age: 10, mentally ~late twenties (Sylvari don't experience child development, they're just Adults)
History: The Story Journal | Syrlya's Path
Personality: Seemingly the picture of a noble hero--kind, considerate, brave, friendly. All of those are true, but he's ultimately a single person who has had to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders because Destiny Said So and the pressure has put cracks in him that drive him to be overprotective and an aggressive workaholic. A guilty conscious who is a massive hypocrite about his maladaptive coping mechanisms and tendency to be overly responsible for the world, do as he says not as he does. Still under all that trauma is a person with love and curiosity for the world around him and why he's willing to give up everything for it just because someone else (prophecies) told him to.
CRAU: N/A
Powers: Syrlya's magical class is that of a Mesmer. Mesmers are mages that specialize in illusions (such as creating clones of themselves, distorting their opponents senses, or making things appear as something other than they are) and distorting reality (such as creating a dome that reflect projectiles, teleporting short distances, phasing his physical form so that attacks pass through him). His subclass is Chronomancy, which is using illusions and minor time distortion to distort his opponents perceptions of time and, in small areas, the entire flow of it (such as creating a bubble that causes enemies to move slowly in it, or creating a temporary rift that he reminds back to after a few seconds).
Mesmers also specialize mental influence, such as disorienting people's senses and causing harm by attacking their mind directly, rather than their physical body. He has mantras, verbally charged spells that fall into this subclass and act as self-wards from external effects and offensive assaults to the mind. He isn't able to control anyone (the closest is using illusions to create a sort of hypnotic suggestion, but this only works as far as the other person can be tricked). In theory he could access someone's mind directly (I.E. creating an illusion fully in their mind only they can see) but those sorts of spells are kept in secrecy among established Mesmer groups and Syrlya doesn't know any of them.
He's unable to create grand scale illusions or permanent breaks or changes to reality--it would require a level of magic more than he's capable of. Most spells last in the range of a few seconds to a minute, but clones can be maintained for longer because they are illusions connected to his form. They can only navigate a certain range around his presence and their actions are based entire on his will.
All the combat professions in Tyria have healing magic of varying capabilities, including Mesmers. Overall, Syr's healing capabilities aren't much better than alleviating shallow wounds and pain.
He also has a natural connection to plant life that allows him some influence over their growth, such as encouraging vines to grow in a specific pattern, making flowers bloom, or causing plants to grow faster than normal. The larger the plant, the longer the process, and he can't revive any plants from death--he can, however, help encourage their healing. They can innately sense things such as their state and health, but not physiological technicalities like their level of poison.
Mesmer | Chronomancer | Sylvari + Plant Manipulation
BIOLOGICAL STUFF: Sylvari are, literally, magic plants that take an approximate human form. This comes with some benefits owed to their physicality, such as a denser and more resilient body and the technical ability to regenerate lost body parts. They however heal at roughly the same rate as humans, so removing an appendage could take months or years to actually recover. While they have thermoreceptors, they're less adversely affected by temperature compared to a human being. Sylvari do photosynthesize, though it isn't enough to survive on by its own.
Between Sylvari is an empathetic mental connection, but only between each other as they originate from the same mental space before being physically born. They're like a pseudo-hivemind.
Inventory: The clothes on his back (high quality light armor, which is ultimately still just heavy cloth) and a defunct communicator because walkie-talkies don't extend across dimensions.
!! Reminder: the following is filled out OOCly !!
Likes: Dedicated, attentive, similar morals (generally good/heroic), willing to take charge/take action, sincerity
Dislikes: Self-centered, careless, rude, picking on the weak, general cruelty
Ideal dates/venues: Private, mainly. Something low-key that means focusing on each other and not the venue/activity. But his experience is zero so he'll try anything once.
Partner: Random
Farm Style: See Above

⬥ Note: Syrlya's abilities will receive some heavy nerfs. He can still make illusions, but others will be able to see through them with relative ease. Chronomancy will no longer be available to him and cannot be regained. Additionally, his mental influence skills will need to be regained in order for him to utilize them. He is limited to a single clone before regains and his healing abilities may remain intact as they are.
While he may maintain the ability to grow flowering vines, his plant magic will not otherwise work on the island of Crescentview. Anything he may attempt to grow through magic will quickly whither, so unfortunately, there's no cheating on the farm! He can, however, maintain the ability to heal plants grown through conventional means. Additionally, his physiology will not be nerfed. Photosynthesis is a-ok!
⬥ Welcome to the game!
