Species:

Noivern

Character Details

A young noivern who hails from Tenebris, a world where the planet has been paralysed by time's halted flow. Amalthea is an infamous bandit queen with a reputation for ruthlessness and the showboaty demeanour to match after inheriting the gang by besting its former leader in combat. Many fear the queen's wrath but a clear camaraderie between herself and her lackeys hint towards a softer side in the young queen. After a chance encounter with a zoroark who seemed to spout nothing but nonsense, Amalthea found herself with an invitation to some kind of "Catastrophe Academy" – an invitation she accepted almost instantly. She claims that she joined the Academy to conquer other worlds but it has become increasingly clear that Amalthea simply desires to save her world, which teeters on the brink of ruin.

RP Information

Despite her attempts to keep up a cold and intimidating persona, Amalthea has an immature view of the world and flusters easily when not taken seriously or proven to clearly care about someone or something. She also has a clear distaste for direct combat despite her many challenges throughout her posturing, saying that she rather not "get dirty". Much as she tries to hide the softer aspects of herself, such as her prevailing sweet tooth and true intentions for signing up to the Academy, it's become an open secret at this point, especially after evolving again.

Skills and Abilities

Being the head of a gang of bandits, Amalthea has natural strategisation and leadership skills. This is reflected in her fighting style which focuses on rallying and empowering her allies. She is capable of creating dark mist or smoke by beating her wings, allowing her to create hazy smokescreens. As a noivern, she has acute hearing and the ability to echolocate. Niche Skills: Smokescreens, Acute hearing.

Pory-Psi Companion

Rigel was the former leader and mentor of Amalthea's gang. Currently a flaaffy, Rigel is never seen away from Amalthea's side as he shepherds her through her new life on campus, giving important advice and life lessons. Amalthea is protective over him but is cagey whenever the subject of the real Rigel is brought up.
