Abyss

Abyss is a mysterious person, said to have randomly woken up in the world Eldham. Whilst they call the continent of Eldham their home, many ask themselves whether or not she truly was born in Eldham or not. Currently, they are a trusted citizen of NewJellhem as they take part in both official clergy and military activities.

Abyss usually sports monochrome attire with very few colours ever being worn by them. They have a pale skin that contrasts their black hair. Most peculiar of all however are their eyes, which some say they can endlessly stare into. Some describe it as if they are hypnotic whilst others state they are like an endless abyss they can fall into.

Early Life
Abyss, with themselves being the source, stated that they spent most of their life roaming the world Eldham as a nomad and scavenger, surviving of the ruins of fallen towns and cities. Whilst they themselves don't know how long they were roaming, what is known is that they stopped being a nomad at the age of 16 as they settled in NewJellhem.

NewJellhem and Simulami
Shortly after joining NewJellhem, they were accepted as a recruit in the Imperial Grand Army. At around the same time, they were baptized into the religion of Soleviel with a promise to go up in the ranks of the Soleviel Church.

There at NewJellhem, they would meet multiple people that they would grow close to and even fond of. With those people, they would go on trips to neighbouring nations, allied states and even fight in wars together. In particular, two women called Melody Ludwig and Rayiniria Rostraya. Both were part of noble houses, the former more famous than the other. both these women grew equally as fond of them as they did of the two women and so, a promise was made between the two parties to adopt Abyss into their family, ascending Abyss into nobility.

Ludwig debaucle
The aformentioned promise was broken and yet kept in an odd way. Shortly after the war at Vermilion, Melody Ludwig would disappear alongside Rayiniria Rostraya, leaving Abyss as the de facto head of the Rostraya family. Alongside this, a deep seated hatred for the lands of Rathnir as Abyss' mothers were rumored to have moved to said continent. Unwilling (and unable) to follow the ways of house Rostraya (primarily due to their refusal to drink alcohol) led Abyss to have no family once more.

Like a guiding hand in a tunnel of darkness however, Ornn Ludwig (who was meant to be their grandfather) allowed them to reside inside castle Ludwig regardless. With time, Abyss was fully accepted by the other Ludwigs and eventually adopted by the aformentioned man.

Battle of Vermilion
Abyss participated in the battle of Vermilion on the defending side against the Morladron attackers. Whilst they mostly stayed inside the walls of Vermilion, shooting at the enemies with their bow as much as they could. Eventually, they marched out of the walls towards the enemy claims, prepared to fight if any remaining battles had to be made.

Their impact on the battle was minimal.

Freholm church of Sylene
After becoming a citizen of NewJellhem and Freholm, they were quickly baptised into the Soleviel faith. Shortly after, with permission from Ornn Ludwig, they built a small place of worship in Freholm, dedicated to the maiden of the moon herself; Sylene.

Abyss has an interest in writing and as such, has both writen two books on events they were a part of and became the head librarian of the library of NewJellhem.
