Zaxaria Kozel-Strand

Biography
A human female born to a burgher in Vale, Zaxaria Kozel-Strand joined the King's military at the age of 18, hoping to make a name for herself as a knight or commander. While she quickly became proficient at wielding weapons and armor, her superiors noted that she was not well suited to strategy in or out of combat. She became considered a "dud" who had shown great potential but been unable to capitalize on it.

After several months Zaxaria was assigned to guard duty at the ruins of the old capital, work reserved for the poorest soldiers. She spent two uneventful years at her post before having what she terms her "calling."

"The Calling"
While no one can verify the events of what Zaxaria terms her "calling," her retelling of the event follows.

During duty one night, Zaxaria had the inexplicable urge to enter the ruins of the old capital, strictly forbidden even to guards. After several hundred feet she came upon a staff of the adder which seemed to be speaking hypnotizing words in a strange tongue. When she touched the staff, Zaxaria was transported onto a plane unknown and unidentifiable in the multiverse. On this plane, she came into contact with the wisdom and power of the "one true creator," learning the secrets of the multiverse. Flooded with knowledge, she was returned to the material plane.

As a result of her calling, Zaxaria was transformed into a warlock, having gained the power of her mysterious patron. Directly after her experience, she quit the military to follow the urges and omens given to her by "the one true creator."

Personality
Zaxaria is primarily motivated by the omens and impulses she claims to receive from her patron. A bubbly person by nature, Zaxaria makes friends easily despite often talking to others about the unfathomable mysteries of the multiverse. She is also often forgetful and prone to "zoning out." Her decreased intelligence and memory is the result of the trauma caused by coming into contact with an ancient and powerful entity.

Appearance
Zaxaria is of average height and weight with a curvy figure and large bosom that makes donning and doffing armor difficult. She has shoulder length blonde hair with bangs, and despite being able to see normally, she has eyes that appear to have no iris or pupils.

Expertise
Thanks to her military background, Zaxaria can be considered a war mage, capable of both melee and magical combat. Her weapon of choice is a morningstar, although she is proficient with all armor and weapons. She can be found on the front line of any battle charging the enemy head on.
