Fluff

Background: Merri always knew she was special. Her mother told her she was since before she could remember. She was different. Merri was able to feel the emotions of those living around her, both human and animal. Her mother and father were different like her, too. It was likely due to this that they chose to live in isolation. The hand built stone family cabin was secluded deep in a forest with no roads for access. Merri's days were spent peacefully playing with the wild animals, harvesting roots and berries and living off the land.

It was not a remarkable day when Merri was 12 years old, that she had wandered away from home. She was only gone for a few hours picking fruit. She came meandering back, her apron full of apples. Nothing seemed out of place, until she got close to home and caught the scent of fire. Worried for her parents, she dropped the apples and rushed home.

When she burst into the small clearing, something new met her eyes. Strange men armed with blades and axes. Her home was on fire. It took her a moment to recognize that the bloodied bodies in front of her home were her father and mother. She ran to them, holding her dead mother in her arms.

The men surrounded her, laughing at the site of the young girl. Merri felt emotions she hadn't felt before. The men eminated dark thoughts. Thoughts of harming, taking, killing and worse. Consumed in anger, Merri did something she had never done before. She took her emotions of sadness and loss, and combined it with the anger and vileness of the men. With all her might, she turned the feelings into something that could harm. This emotional anger lashed out from the little girl and the men were stricken. Feeling every primal emotion, the men were consumed in their own private hell for a few moments until they fell lifeless around her.

The effort was too much for the young girl. In that one moment, her soul broke. Her life force started to leave her and she started to die. Merri lost consciousness there on the forest floor.

But she didn't die. Merri was found by elves of the wood who were alerted by the burning cabin. The elves wove strong fey magics and were able to sustain the young girl. The elves found that the damage to her soul was incurable, but Merri was only able to sustain herself on the emotions of others. Her body changed as she healed. Despite her very human appearance, she had develoepd the weaknesses of those who are sustained unnaturally past their lifespan. She aged very slowly.

Although using the emotions of others to sustain herself left no physical mark, it did cause weakness in her new caregivers. Worried she could hurt one of her benefactors, Merri decided she should stay away from others. As soon as she was healthy enough, she packed her gear and set forth.

For many years she chose the isolation of the woods and her only companions were forest creatures. Her encounters with other humans and humanoids did not do much to improve her opinions of men and civilization.

One day, Merri found herself surrounded by goblins. Her ability to focus her emotions and take the life force of others had been able to protect her until now. The horde of goblins were too many. Just as the goblins were closing in, a party of adventurers set upon them goblins and slayed them to a man. The combat was exhilerating. After thanking her saviors, Merri decided that she also wanted to help others. The thrill of combat and the good nature of the adventurers gave Merri more energy and strength than she had felt in a long time. She came to believe that if she did enough good, that if she felt that much good energy, perhaps.. just perhaps... she could cure herself. The adventurers told Merri they came from Daunton, so she set off to the port town in hopes of finding ways to help others.

Description: Merri is an average height female, standing 5 foot 3 inches. She would be considered good looking, with a simple but attactive face. She has an athletic build, but is not muscular. Merri has light blue eyes and brown hair. She wears clothing thick enough to protect her from the elements. Merri is never without her thick traveling cloak, hat and gloves. She has all her extra gear on during daylight hours due to her weakness.

Personality: Merri is very excited to become an adventurer. She is a happy person by nature. She has a certain naive nature. While she must rely on others for sustenance, she does not want to injure others either. She would only siphon life force from those who are willing.

Hooks:

Any links to the men who killed her family so many years ago would incite a very angry response from Merri.

She would love to reverse her condition, but sees this as a lofty goal.

Judge Comments

Level 1

Approval 1

There's a typo in Energizing Strike Aug1 but you're fine otherwise. Approved --WEContact 16:37, January 24, 2012 (UTC)

Approval 2

If I understand correctly, you took one of the two Ard

ent powers as your granted racial extra at-will power. However there's a clause in PHB3 page 216 that defines augmentations, that clarifies that "When a racial trait grants you an at-will attack power ofyour choice and you choose an augmentable at-will attack power, the power loses both the augmentable keyword and its augmentations".

Therefore one either Enegizing Strike or Ire Strike should lose the augmentations.

Otherwise I can't see any other issue. (Someone) 20:00, January 28, 2012 (UTC)

Approved, since the issues were corrected. (Someone) 18:13, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

Level 3

Approval 1

I can't find no mistakes, except that you're adding your Iron Body ki focus bonus to attacks made with your rapier (that also don't have the Implement keyword), and I can't find any rule that makes an exception for vampires, Ardents or ki focuses. (Someone) (talk) 09:15, October 14, 2012 (UTC)

Edit: Actually, Ki focuses do have that exception and their enhancement, critical and properties can be used when making weapon attacks. No objections, then. (Someone) (talk) 18:47, October 23, 2012 (UTC)
