Lyons Torki
Hwaverlian | 30's | Female
Information
Not everyone who plays an instrument can do it well and not every medical practitioner should be in thise fields. Lyons is both of these notions, the knight that never was yet born into life ill suited to her. Be it music with bad inflection or the screams of her patients, this Hopistallar remains angry and grumpy at most times, enjoying only brief moments of life, notably when a fight breaks out.
Likes and Dislikes
Would much rather be fighting or drinking.
Can be found exercising or training for combat in her free time, even if she is forbidden from the latter
Hates playing music and providing medical care, despite her job. While skilled at her role, don't ever expect her to do a good job. Does have a dark sense of humor though.
Enjoys studying conflict history, having memorized numerous battles and wars of the past.
Traits and Skills
Due to her physical shape and nature, she is capable of leaping great distances, well up to 50 meters easily, even in full garb.
Very skilled in melee combat, utilizing a falchion and buckler. Prefers spears, but forbidden to carry any.
Talons allow her to perch and latch to walls and rocks, even hang upside down if need be.
Proud of her muscular body, tends to show it off when she can.
Lore
Lyons is one of the many Hwaverlians that live in the mountains of Laveria, a series of floating islands high above the ocean in the southern most region of Tsushoro. A rigid species rooted in tradition and caste establishment, Hwaverlians are the second people to reside in Laveria, yet the most brutish of the species in Tsushoro. Idolizing the notions of honor and warfare, they make some of the finest warriors out there, with their famed Kosokin warriors being the most romanticized and idolized. Long are the tales and songs of Hwaverlians exploits in war and battle, yet since the Third Tsushoric War, no nation wide conflict has taken place. With Laveria being isolated from the rest of the Isles, much of Hwaver Society has stagnanted, merely training and awaiting the next major war, yet relying on their Skillie neighbors for many of the resources they aren't able to acquire. As such, Lyons is one of the many members of Hwaver Culture that eagerly awaits the next conflict, hoping to use it as a means to escape her caste. Born into the role of Hospitaller, Lyons' duties require here to provide healing to both mind and body for the other members of her society, a role she despises greatly. Be it entertainment via song or poetry, or physical care tending to wounds or sickness, and while she is skilled at medical care, she has no desire do to the job well, preferring to pursue any opportunity to opt out of her responsibilities. Due to her constant disobedience, she has be punished many times, getting dangerously close to exile for it. But a stroke of luck saw her moved to a different role, Pioneer Hospitallar. She is still tasked with her original duties, but now works along side other warriors instead, working in logistic and caretaking. It doesn't make her the Kosokin Warrior she wanted to be, but it gets her much closer to the battlefield, and even allows her to carry a falchion and buckler for personal self defense. Better than nothing, but to a last resort, as her lute and medical equipment are to be her go to equipment. As such, Lyons can generally be seen as unpleasant and grumpy, with a poor attitude and terrible at singing. Don't expect any bedside manners too if she is your practitioner.
