  • Brash, arrogant, blunt, angry, sadistic or any combination of the five. She only finds joy in dominance, pursuing her own selfish desires and having no qualms about sending others to their doom to fulfill those desires.

    In Depth
    Ayla acts in such a vicious manner mostly due to the fact that she formed it as habit. It worked when she was younger, and it worked to help her get what she wanted as the years went on. Brute force and strength are all that matter to her. However, without one thing, her entire life of power is meaningless to her: adversity.

    She relies on resistance in order to find fulfillment in what she does. Overcoming the odds is as pleasurable to Ayla as a fine meal, the company of great friends, moments of intense celebration and even sex. But, without adversity she cannot experience these feelings of blissful triumph. She first experienced it as a child, being told she would not survive. She overcame that, and developed herself into the foundation of an unstoppable powerhouse. From that moment, everything else was meaningless. She had to keep challenging herself, proving to herself more than anyone that she could do anything. That she was the best! She joined the militia when hard work on a farm failed to provide her with the challenge she desired, romanticizing about glory in combat. Often times she had to make her own glory, exposing herself to the enemy and taking them on single-handedly. When she assumed command, she threw away the lives of her soldiers needlessly for her own personal triumph against the enemy. She was then discharged for her outrageous behavior. For some, a moment of crisis. For Ayla, a new opportunity.

    If she could not find satisfaction in acting lawfully, she directed herself to the only lifestyle where she was confident she could be consistently challenged. As a bandit, she dealt with others just as confident and arrogant as she was, often initiating power struggles among her peers. As a bandit she was hunted, hated and feared. Time and time again bounty hunters came for her, attempting to claim her head. Time and time again these men and women were slaughtered, giving her the satisfaction she so strongly desired. When the clan was on the brink of death, she believed with all her heart that she was the only one that could turn the group around. She murdered the Warboss in an act of mutiny, killing those few still loyal to the former leader. When her role as the new Warboss was established, she enacted her rule with ruthless efficiency. Changes were made, and the Red Claws adopted a hierarchy based on pure brutality. Now, Ayla has her sights on greater challenges, greater foes, and she'll sacrifice her entire clan if it means feeling just one glimpsing moment of personal satisfaction.

    Her hatred of magic can likely be traced back to her childhood. Without the assistance of mages in her pursuit to make herself strong enough to survive, she would have surely died of sickness. One would think she would be eternally grateful to mages, however she looks back on that part of her life with intense regret. It's the one part of her past that she cannot 100% credit herself with in regards to overcoming the adversity holding her back. She's resentful of this fact, constantly having to assure herself that she could have done it without them, even if she knows without a doubt deep down that she couldn't. This insecurity has developed into an intense hatred of mages of all sorts, living in denial of her own inadequacy that prompted those in the past to help her.


    Inventory

    Weapons and Armor
    Marauder's Fists Her gauntlets are reinforced with one-inch spikes along all of her knuckles, giving her already brutal fists significantly more killing power.
    Marauder's Kneecaps The kneecaps of her greaves are reinforced with metal spikes, all measuring about 6 inches in length. Upon the right knee is a human skull impaled upon said spikes.

    The skull belonged to the previous Warboss of the Red Claw clan, Matthias Mullen, who Ayla murdered in a fierce power struggle after the clan's numbers had been dwindling, their notoriety had fallen into a laughable state, and no change was in sight.
    Ceramic grenades As a crowd control measure, Ayla may carry a bandoleer of ceramic grenades on her person. These black powder explosives will shatter the thick ceramic shell upon bursting, throwing shards in all directions.
    The Boomstick Even Ayla recognizes that fists sometimes won't cut it. Sometimes things require a little more firepower. When a rifle is too wimpy, and a cannon is too heavy to carry around, there's only one other option. Ayla's hand bombard. Part spear and part cannon, she utilizes all parts of the weapon for maximum lethality. The blunt end of the staff is excellent for stunning, the staff itself, reinforced with strips of iron gives it a reinforced surface for blocking, and then of course the business end goes out with a bang, along with a 4 pounder cannonball.
    Iron armor In desperate need of an upgrade, Ayla's gauntlets, greaves and chestplate have all been through many battles. Having been soaked in their fair share of blood, there is a bit of rust to compliment the various dings and scratches upon the surface of the metal. Why not just get new armor?
    Trinkets
    Info: Ayla has collected several magical trinkets from more magic-oriented bounty hunters over the years. Some have seen better days and have already used up some of their power, but she keeps them as trophies regardless. Perhaps one day she'll swallow her hatred and get a mage to get them functioning again.

    Shroud of the Savior - An enchanted cape that deflects metal traveling at high velocity. Metal-tipped bolts and arrows, and of course bullets. The cape is chained to a stone tablet on her belt, and contained within this tome is the crystal giving the cape its defensive ability. This item, however, has tremendous limitation. The stone gives it only a limited charge, as it takes a lot of power to prevent objects traveling so fast to penetrate a barrier... or it would, if it hadn't been shattered.

    Feline's Folly     - An enchanted amulet that grants the wearer 9 lives. You know, like a cat! Upon the user's death, the amulet will activate and reverse the killing blow, mending the wound and reviving the user. However the amulet does not bring the deceased to safety, relying on the mortally wounded to escape before succumbing to their wounds if they want to avoid just being killed again. The amulet is, of course, only good for 9 charges, the stones giving it this ability bursting upon activation. All 9 stones have burst. The last owner's luck had to run out sometime.

    Voidstone - An embedded stone in her chestplate that would give her a mana void feat, absorbing magical force to protect her from offensive spells. However, during one of her clan's raids, this stone absorbed more magical force than it could contain, and exploded.
  • Strengths:
    Pain tolerance - Brutal physical conditioning and years of internal competition among other bandits has given her a greater tolerance to pain than your average creature. She is not impervious, she can definitely get hurt. However she has a much stronger will to soldier on through it and keep up the fight.

    Rage junkie - Ayla is an incredibly hostile person, and enjoys being said person. While perfectly capable of civility, she uses this to demand obedience as well as intimidate foes.

    Weaknesses:
    Magic - Ayla is a big brute, but has no magical ability of her own. She relies on artifacts to protect her from these powerful forces, lest she succumb to them all too easily.

    Rage junkie - "Let us taunt it! It may become so cross that it'll make a mistake!" - Sir Lancelot
    Her anger issues are both a blessing and a curse for someone of her station. If she gets angry enough, she may fall into a senseless, blind rage, all planning or forethought being abandoned in place of a burning desire to flatten whatever has her pissed off.     		Warm.png


    Her size - She's a big girl. Though she's got a long stride, it's harder for her to reach her top speed should she have to chase something down, and she isn't very maneuverable. She can't fit through tight spaces, or crowded areas like woods or tightly-packed buildings. Running from the Warboss is a very viable option.


    Phobias:
    Vulnerability - Ayla tries her best to be the strongest in all aspects of her life. While that's not entirely possible, she tries either way. She hates the feeling of being inadequate or weak, to the point where she is actually deathly afraid of the thought of being so. If her artifacts, her armor or her own physical strength were to fail her, she may go into a panic. But, beware: you never know what a cornered beast might do.

    Abilities
    (Natural)
    - Strength - Ayla is... very big. And very strong. She has conditioned her body to become as strong as she possibly can, and has to do all she can to maintain her physical prowess. But, constant maintenance gives her a powerful edge in combat, her fists having a level of lethality impossible for smaller creatures without help. She is able to perform feats of strength that would take two or even three average sized people.

    - Zeal - Ayla can power through injury and loss to keep up the fight, every wound and every party member loss giving her a greater will to fight than she had before.

    - Extortion - Ayla's a big bully, plain and simple. It's easy for her to take advantage of people and make demands.



    (Learned)
    - Grappling - Ayla is deadly in a stand-up fight, though taking her to the ground may not be the best idea either. Folding up her foes like a pretzel and listening to the bones crack, or just squeezing the life out of them fill her with a strange amount of joy.

    - Brawling - Ayla is a fist-fighter through and through. She'll outright refuse to use hand-held weaponry and instead chooses to stick with her own armored hands. She finds it incredibly satisfying to rip swords, maces, spears or what have you out of her opponents hands and defeating them in an good, old-fashioned, one-sided brutal and bloody beatdown. If they're not a red paste on the ground by the time she's finished, they'll probably wish they were.


    Appearance
    The Titan Boss. This 8 foot wolf towers over even the tallest of her fellow mercenaries, and has the mass to match to make her quite the force to behold indeed. Her armor is old and worn, though savage in its construction. Knuckles and knees are reinforced with metal plates and spikes, and her chest containing her precious organs shielded by a rusty iron breastplate. The large jacket around her betrays a former life of a military officer of some sort, though it's unclear exactly where from her service hails... Or just what kind of soldier she was. Though a fighter she certainly is, bandit turned slaver bears no weapons but her brutal fists.
