BENEVOLENT • INTELLIGENT • INDIFFERENT

The patient and kind guild registrar, always equipped with a smile and some helpful advice. Always willing to lend an ear to your woes, or offer a helping hand to those in need. She’s well liked by her peers, and her level-headed outlook and intelligent mind make for a reliable companion to turn to when in need. She’s generous with her time and knowledge, more than happy to offer any information she can to help.

Despite her good reputation, however, little is actually known about her. She’s secretive about her personal life, and as a result tends not to rely on others when she herself is in need. She’s also rather passive when it comes to conflict, preferring to yield whenever possible. Which isn’t to say that she’s a pushover, however, as it stems mostly from her indifferent attitude towards life. She seems to observe the world as an outsider, and often talks about happenings as if reading a story from a book. Those who get to know her more will realize that her helpfulness does not equate to charity, as her moral compass points neither north or south.

Summary

She was natal born into a nomadic clan of Apocryphals who called themselves the Keepers who brought it upon themselves to act as observers of history. She spends the first 150 years of her life in Asphodelia travelling with her clan and learning the magic.

After she successfully ‘graduates’ from her clan, she is sent off on a journey to collect stories and bring them back to her clan to teach the future generations. She travels all over the world for the next 300 years, never staying in one place for too long before moving on to the next. She acts as an observer to the Great War, not participating but instead transcribing the events as they transpired.

With the creation of the human territory, Soprano’s interest was piqued at the potential stories to be created. Hearing about the formation of the Adventurer’s Guild, she joins as an adventurer, but her distaste for fighting leads her to search for a different method after only 10 years. She decides to apply to become a guild registrar, thinking that it would be a good job to hear about a variety of different stories. She has since been working as a registrar for 90 years now, and is reaching an age where she should consider returning back to her homeland, but she’s been feeling reluctant to leave.

Overture

Soprano was naturally born into a nomadic clan of apocryphals in Asphodelia. The clan members shared the same surname, Clios, and called themselves the Keepers. Generation by generation, the Clios would pass down the histories and stories of the past onto their children. As they were nomadic, they had no texts or scriptures to record these teachings, and so the children were taught orally through song. Unique to the Clios, the children would develop magic affinities that were related to speech or music, and for the first 150 years they would hone their magic and memorize history through songs called Arias. Children of the clan were cherished and brought up carefully, and each generation, the burden of carrying the Arias became heavier.

After they turned 150, the clan would hold a coming-of-age ceremony for the children, which would simultaneously act as a celebration and also a test to determine whether the child was prepared to embark on their pilgrimage.

Such was the life Soprano was raised to live, and as a particularly exceptional child the clan had high hopes for her when she passed the ceremony with flying colors and was given her first steps of freedom out into the great world.

With the creation of the human territory, Soprano’s interest was piqued at the potential stories to be created. Hearing about the formation of the Adventurer’s Guild, she joins as an adventurer, but her distaste for fighting leads her to search for a different method after only 10 years. She decides to apply to become a guild registrar, thinking that it would be a good job to hear about a variety of different stories.

And thus 90 years pass with Soprano working as a registrar. As the years pass, she feels her body aging slowly but surely, reaching the end of her long long lifespan. She knows that any day now, she must return to her people and pass on the knowledge she’s accrued to the generation after. And yet as the days pass she finds it harder and harder to leave the place she’d spent a mere century in.

And so she’s stayed until now.
