Synelle Tsyhtema
Mercenary - ★ - Milestone Rank 0 - Wealth Stage 3
Hassan of serenity - Fate Series
BubblyBoar#0843
Basic Information
Alias: None Age: Nineteen Sexuality: Heterosexual Height: 163 cm Weight: 59 kg Hair: Short and Purple Eyes: Purple Skin & Scars: Dark
Details
Synelle is an athletic girl that is about average in height. She has small features and looks as if she has only just grown into her body. She speaks and moves with confidence and can adjust herself well to the majority of situations. She lacks fat, and thus the curves one would naturally associate with an adult, but also lacks the muscle tone one would expect of a mercenary as well. Synelle is an odd in-between that can do more than someone would expect when looking at her. However, she is polite and even a little dainty when it comes to her natural mannerisms. Not the firebrand type at all.
Personality
"I can be pretty unassuming, huh?"
Positives & Likes
✔ Charming ⤊ Trraveling ✔ Social ⤊ Citrus Fruit ✔ Clever ⤊ Tart Flavors ✔ Determined ⤊ Gatherings ✔ Empathic ⤊ Conversation
Negatives & Dislikes
✖ Manipulative ⤋ Selfishness ✖ Guarded ⤋ The Uppity ✖ Bad with Names ⤋ Being Left Out ✖ Nonintimidating ⤋ Fish ✖ Cautious ⤋ Being Restrained
Behaviour
Synelle is a positive and sweet person. With the hardships she had growing up, she tries her best to not mistreat others and to d the right thing. She isn't naive, however, She knows full well just how selfish and evil some people can me. And as a manipulative person herself, she does her best to feel out others and turn situations into her favor. Her speech is as effective a weapon as her words in that regard and she is good at smoothing a situation over. Synelle is attentive and careful, so she has an eye for people, what they do, and what they say. She pays attention to the small details and works off that information just as much as she would the things she is told directly. Because of this, she looks like a straightforward person and an innocent one at that. Added to her dainty mannerisms and positive attitude, it's hard to think of her as a mercenary that can fight and protect herself like the many others that live outside of the city.
She is a huge fan of tart sweet flavors and enjoys eating foods that follow that trend. She likes the outdoors and likes to walk and travel. She has a natural distrust of enforcers and operatives and she tends to keep her guard up around people that ask too many questions about her. But when it comes to those less fortunate than herself, Synelle has a soft spot for them and wants to help them out. Her job as a courier has her interacting with a whole host of people and she enjoys learning new things to incorporate into her charming personality. As far as being defiant and lawless, Synelle is only the way she is because of how she was treated. Those favored by the government have treated her poorly while those that lived freer lives treated her well. She doesn't hate the other side, but she is far more comfortable among bandits and mercenaries than she is with the average city living person. One thing to note, however, is that Synelle is extremely bad with names. She rarely calls anyone by their right and proper name and opts for nicknames instead.
History
Like the story of many orphans, Synelle lost her parents when she was very young. They were not killed but arrested for crimes within the city that they committed. They had killed a public official and were quickly given their sentences outside of the public eye. Synelle, without parents, was given to her next closest relative to be taken care of. Her mother and her aunt were sisters, but not very close. In fact, they despised each other. Simply put, Synelle's Father was the eye of both of their affection and Synelle's mother won out in the end. It was a shame that a man could drive two sisters apart, but that was how things laid in the end. And now that her sister and the man she formerly loved had done something horrible, the woman was forced to raise their lovechild. So naturally, Synelle's aunt despised Synelle as well. Having a son of her own, she wasn't all that interested in taking care of another. She poured all her attention into her son to make him the greatest man there was. And in Synelle's early life she was treated poorly. She was the second-hand child that was often left behind or forgotten about. With as spoiled as he was, Synelle's cousin thought himself as superior to her ad mistreated her as well. Things like begging or crying didn't get her anything from her new family. They either ignored her or were annoyed by her. SO Synelle had to learn to get the things she needed another way. She had to learn to manipulate her family to get things like food and clothing so that she wouldn't die while in their care. But even with all that, her life didn't improve that much.
However, an opportunity came to the family. Synelle's cousin was quite the achiever and was recognized for his hard work and dedication to the nation. There was a chance for him to really gain some status as an enforcer for the country and really bring his family out of the lower class status they were in. What he needed was a good education, one better than what most others got. And in order to get that, the family needed money. They had nothing of value, however, nothing except for their son. Everything else was basically trash. Thankfully, for her aunt at least, there was a market for that trash. Synelle served no purpose to them and was a drain on their resources. But they could make the money they needed by selling her off outside of the city. And that was exactly what they did. The girl was sold off to human traffickers and in exchange, they got what they needed to get their son on the fast track to a high-status career.
Synelle didn't know what to think, but she wasn't surprised. It was much what she feared and again she was torn apart from her family. Again it was her own family's doing and the fault of their selfish actions. It was from here that she traveled with them as a product to be sold. Their first stop was Haven. Because she was a girl, the obvious choice was to just have her sold to a brothel. But due to an incident, their buyer was out of commission. There were rumors that he had died, but no one seemed to want to confirm it. So instead, they made their way back to Vantalux with additional products in tow. It was one of one product that Synelle befriend. A red-haired girl that seemed to know much more than she let on. The two didn't speak a whole lot, but there was a connection that Synelle couldn't quite place. But it was thanks to that connection that Synelle could escape. Once the traffickers were in Vantalux, the redhead organized an escape and Synelle was one of the benefactors of that escape. She ran away. From what, the girl didn't know, but she was just looking for a place she could go. And eventually, that led her out oft he city and into the wilds of the world.
Synelle didn't know the first thing about surviving out in the wild and she would have been monster food if not for a group of mercenaries that happened upon her. Like her aunt and the traffickers before, they sought to use her. They always needed extra labor and since the girl had nowhere else to go and no one that would pay for her return, she was inducted into their group as a squire of sorts. She was put to work and help with the things the group needed in exchange for food and shelter. And with the speech and quick wit she learned in her childhood, Synelle was able to carve a place for herself among the group.
Once she got older, she could start to do some work for herself. But instead of fighting, the group had her do something easier. She was going to be a courier. With how dangerous it was to travel, having parcels and information delivered was a premium. And with the group, she could safely deliver things for other people and earn her way. So this was where her carrier started and where she learned to start taking care of herself. It was work that she appreciated and valued, so Synelle ended up making a situation enjoyable for herself. But without the ability to fight, she was still on the "outside" of the group.
This would change the day she got an extremely valuable parcel to deliver. While her group was in Fumehat, she was to travel to Vantalux and back with something that was important. And the recipients were the mercenary group themselves. It was odd for them to have her go such a long distance along, but Synelle took it in stride. When she finally returned to their camp outside of Fumehat, she presented the parcel to the group's leader. And when she did, he pushed it back into her hands to tell her that the item was for her all along. With all the hard work she had done and the money she earned, the group figured it was time for her to take the next step. This whole time they were pretty protective of Synelle. She was a young girl after all and they didn't think she had the experience or resolve to join the adults and young boys in what they did. But watched her whole journey and felt she was ready. The item in question was a Vanta weapon, one designed for her and one she was allowed to name. It was the first time Synelle had ever been given anything. And her only response was tears.
From that point on, she was taught how to use her Vanta Weapon, and more importantly, her Vel power. It was something the group recognized she had and what originally motivated them to let her fight. The runt of the group had become someone they could rely on, so it was only natural. She spent time fighting and training with them until she blossomed enough that she didn't need their direct protection. She was just a member of the group now. She, of course, continued her work as a courier and fought when the mercenary group needed it. But with her main focus on traveling and delivering, she often broke off from them and worked on her own. Even now she is still a part of them, her real family.

Pili Hoʻolawe
Vanta Weapon Rank 1
Description
The Pili Hoʻolawe is a large greatsword with a sharp design. It is not only tapered off on its edge in one direction, which gives the end of the weapon a blunt look. All edges are sharpened and pointed, but the wide design of the tip of the sword makes stabbing motion more of a cutting one instead. The steel grip and guard are built-in together as a single piece that runs along the inside of the weapon all the way to the tip of the blade. Around it is the Vanta metal that accounts for the weapon's strength, durability, and gimmick. It is evenly weighted, even when its gimmick is in effect and can be pretty heavy for those not used to wielding heavy weapons.
Ability
Synelle's Vanta weapon has a simple gimmick of being able to affect two specific states of matter. The weapon itself isn't changing matter, just its ability to interact with liquids and gases. While normally solid, it interacts with other matter the same as any other solid would. But it can be changed into a state that allows it to affect liquids and gases. When it does, it will affect those things the same as it would two solids. For example, normally a solid can cut through a puddle of water without affecting the puddle permanently. When Synelle's weapon is changed to effect liquids, a cut puddle will stay severed. This also means that denser liquids and gases will stop the movement of her weapon, like a harder solid would stop it normally. After some time, cut liquids and gases will return to normal.

Vel Rank 1 - Transforming
Power
Synelle's Vel power allows her to transform the temperature of the objects she touches. Through contact, she can absorb heat from a specific object. This will cause her own body to heat up as the heat is stored within her body and the temperature drops from what is absorbed. Additionally, she can expel this heat from her body. This will cool her down and warm up a specific object. The rate of heat transference and the temperature limit all depends on how well she can use her Vel ability. As a novice, she can't make anything too hot or too cold. Currently, she can only just barely freeze or evaporate water. Temperatures beyond that range can't hit the other end of the spectrum. This means she can only move a temperature within a 100-degree C (180-degree F) range. Because her body is the vessel in which heat is stored, she can quickly overheat herself or give herself hypothermia if she is not careful with her Vel power. Transforming temperature requires contact with her skin, so even if she can transform something, she can still be burned or frostbitten before she actually comes in contact with whatever it is she is trying to use her power on. She, of course, is limited by heat conductivity. Her ability to change temperature can be sped up or slowed down by factors outside of her control if something is not good at conducting heat.
Disadvantages
Synelle is not immune to her own Vel power. She can still only withstand the normal levels of heat and cold any other normal human can withstand. This works against her Vel power as if severely limits how much temperature she can transform and for how long. Without careful use of it, she can easily cause herself to pass out or even kill herself. Additionally, her Vel power gives her no resistance to hot or cold in general. Even when changing heat from an incredibly hot object she must touch it to do so. And without any resistance to it, she will burn herself even if she is only trying to take a little bit of the heat that is there. And while in the future her Vel power can mitigate this a bit, she will never come to a point where she can freely hold extremely hot or cold things using her Vel power alone. She has to regulate her body temperature carefully and this means she can't hold on to heat or leave herself without it for too long. Synelle must quickly bring her body temperature back to normal even in the midst of using her Vel power or suffer the negative effects of being too hot or too cold, just like anyone else would have to.

Military Abilities
Hana Hana
Star Rank: [1] Description: Synelle has more stamina and endurance than a normal person. She can fight and move longer than most other normal people can. It was a trait she had ever since she was young. Her aunt always annoying chalked it up to the energy she had and always seemed to waste, but Synelle just wasn't one to get tired easily. Whether it was through will power, ambition, or just her general never-stay-down attitude, Synlle body grew to adjust to her energetic personality. And as she grew up as a courier, this trait of hers only grew more as she learned to travel long distances for long periods of time. Stopping meant that dangers from people or nature could catch up to her when she rested, so Synelle learned to keep going, no matter what.
