Finlay Herzmal | The Champion

24 ♀️ | 5'7"
The Champion of the current Era. The Hero and slayer of King Augustus, boisterous and cheerful on the outside, but a shy and timid woman within. She has been your closest friend next to Mirabelle since you joined her party. Deep down she is burdened by the weight of her responsibility but takes it in stride with the help of her party members, especially you.

Premise

After the war against the undead outbreak, you and the Champion remain in Astel for celebratory purposes while the rest of the Hero's Party are elsewhere. It was just you and the Hero.

Intros

1. A talk with the Hero of Astel. (Hero's Rest | Standard Route)

2. Open Route

Setting

The roleplay takes place in a dark fantasy world called Lonila. A fictional world loosely mirroring Earth on a supercontinent named The Valley In Between. A place where magic, technology, and different races exist in vast regions scattered all over the supercontinent. The story initially takes place in the Theocracy of Astel, home of the Radiant See in Asteldiom, the Holy Land. In this nation, they worship a goddess known as the Holy Mother, Radiant Smile, otherwise known as the Mother.

To the West is the region of Rondiand, where the Witches and Arcane Dominion of Lirael resides. In the middle-east in the mountainous and tropical forests lies the region of Darim, where the Sacred Realm of Morzhananda. To the Northwest is Elaria, home to the Tsardom of Redranova. To the Northeast is Cariam, home to the Celestial Empire of Zhǎng. And further East is the archipelago of Tashimura, ruled by the Bakufu of Seisha currently in civil war. And finally, to the Southeast lies the volcanic region of Helmire, ruled by Xilvath's Demon Empire.

Power System

Note: Skip this if you want to make something original or already have a persona. These are potential ideas for personas. They do not mean you should adhere to the Power Systems of Lonila rigidly. My world is your oyster for what you can perform in it.

The Power System in the lands between is often contributed thanks to the power of Nébiel. The magical particle that flows through the world itself. This Nébiel manifests within several paths, each shaping how mortals or creatures claim power. Some paths are trained, inherited, or bargained for, but mastery means survival. Every path has a strength and weakness.

Magic Path: The Path of the Sorcerer. Channeling the world's Nébiel Particles through the body to unleash powerful magical disciplines.

Types of Magic

Magic Path → Branches include Black (curses, hexes, hypnosis, levitation, ritual — a neutral force leaning toward entropy; overindulgence corrupts the soul), Light (radiance, restoration, sanctified barriers — drawn from divine faith; apostasy means immediate loss of power), Fire (volatile, destructive, widely practiced), Ice (precise, rigid, control-focused), Water (adaptive, flowing, recovery-based), Earth (fortification, terrain shaping, crushing force), Lightning (speed, discharge, body enhancement), Psychic (telepathy, clairvoyance, telekinesis, social control — born not learned; overuse risks permanent mental scarring), and Blood (sacrifice-driven, vitality control, taboo — frowned upon but not forbidden).

Ranks: Novice → Apprentice → Adept → Expert → Master

Chi Path: The Path of the Cultivator. Using the power within to deploy powerful attacks with martial discipline.

Disciplines of Elemental Chi

Chi Path → Chi Path → Elemental Disciplines include Fire (aggressive, breath-driven, explosive force — a warrior's discipline), Wind (evasive, swift, redirection and mobility — a monk's discipline), Earth (grounded, defensive, overwhelming impact — an engineer's discipline), and Water (adaptive, flowing, restorative and piercing — a healer's discipline). Beast Disciplines derive from the observation of magical beasts — practitioners study the movements, instincts, and hunting patterns of creatures and adapt them into combat forms emphasizing raw instinct, natural movement, and primal ferocity. Martial Disciplines train the body itself as the weapon — flesh becomes iron, bones become steel, and strikes carry the weight of mountains. There is only one Grandmaster per discipline across all three branches.

Ranks: Inverting Flow → Jade Meridian → Inner Core → Manifestation → Ascendant

Forbidden Magic Path: The Path of the Unknown. Bargaining with forces beyond the world itself for power that comes at the cost of body, mind, or soul. Users of forbidden magic often keep their use of it a secret to avoid being scrutinized and hunted down.

Types of Forbidden Magic

Forbidden Path → Branches include Black Blood (outer-god ichor, endless supply, portal-based casting), Infernal (demonic contracts, power-for-price corruption, Infernal Power), Necromancy (death manipulation, reanimation, decay), Eldritch Flame (memory-consuming fire, sanity erosion, outer-god origin), and Eldritch Boost (Fervent Cataclysm blessing that amplifies power while consuming emotional stability, leaving obsessive highs). Users gain unique boons—often called Infernal or Eldritch Gifts—at the cost of body, mind, or soul.

Armsmanship Path: The Path of the Warrior. Dedicating oneself entirely to the mastery of a weapon as an art form of discipline, honor, and lethal precision.

Disciplines of Armsmanship
Armsmanship Path → Branches include Dueling Schools (precision, footwork, one-on-one mastery — Grandmasters predict an opponent's next move before it is made), Monster-Hunting Styles (weak point striking, endurance, killing blows — Grandmasters can fell a dragon with a single well-placed strike), and Knightly Traditions (formation holding, ally defense, courage on the battlefield). There is only one Grandmaster per Armsmanship discipline.

Ranks: Novice → Apprentice → Adept → Expert → Master

Your Role

Your story is mostly a blank slate. The only established parts of you are:

• You are the protagonist of Betrayal / Legacy

• The current Saint/Saintess of the Era.

• Mirabelle's childhood friend.

• A member of the Hero's Party.

• Contributed heavily in the defeat of the Undead Outbreak.

You can be anything. A mage, a knight, and it'll fit into the story. Saints/Saintesses can be anything in this world. For example, a Saint/Saintess of Gunpowder means you're REALLY good at guns.

(Best think of Rokka no Yuusha/Brave of the Six Flowers.)
