Fayelin Auros is a bright-eyed Wolfen with a past that's clouded in mystery. As a founding member of Adventure Co., Fayelin (or Fay as she is often nicknamed) is an adventurer at heart who is inspired by stories of eld and folklore to be a hero. She wields Starwrath, a powerful Dragon Relic.
Background
Knowledge of where Fay came from or how she came to acquire Starwrath are largely a mystery. Fayelin's own memories of a time before her relic weapon are foggy at best. What is commonly known is that she was an active participator in the Grand War as a member of the defence forces. Her Beastmaster partner in arms, Elwyn Drowfang, accompanied her on many battles throughout the Wyrmeron battles of the year 3000. It would be here that she'd also meet Lupendra Everblade, a high ranking Luxfordian officer who had recently risen from the dead using dark magics. Fayelin would be taken under the care of Lupendra, who would become keen on serving as both her trainer in martial combat and a protector. Following Wyrmeron, the three would go to Gwynbrenon to contribute in the war efforts in their own ways with Elwyn parting ways with the other two to pursue her own goals.
Later on, Fayelin would take part in a "great battle" that would leave her severely injured and forced to back away from the war. Lupendra would take her to a Draken named Keyr in Fexham so that she may recover. Fay would end up living with Keyr for years and during this time put aside her fighting spirit in favour of studying under him as an apprentice in Engineering, a career choice that neither of them would end up regretting as she quickly proved herself to be proficient in Arcatech. Despite an uptick in racism towards Wolfen at the time, Fay would live a commoner's life in Fexham and become a hero in a different way by aiding the locale in mundane tasks, battling constant ridicule and proving herself to the townsfolk. She would be an active ally for the Starguard Cafe, a small business owned by an elderly Elven couple who would get Fay's aid in mechanical know-how on many occasions.
One day day Fay would meet a Fenik Pirate named Rebana who'd commission from her repairs for her mechanical cutlasses. Fay would learn from Rebana that she seeks to find her lost brother Shira who had disappeared years ago and, unexpectedly, the Fenik would ask Fayelin to accompany her on this quest, stating that "She and Shira seem to think alike". Around this time, a figure known as Nidrogan would attack the town. Fayelin would, for the first time in years, pick up her weapon and come face to face with this antagonist that sought to bring with her a wave of havoc and death. With Rebana as backup, the two would duel but it would end in a stalemate even after Fay apparently delivered a killing blow to her rival as a dark power sustained Nidrogan and kept her away from death's door. In the course of the battle, the Starguards would perish in the ruin of their cafe and Keyr would lose his arm after a building collapsed on him.
Overcome with grief and blaming herself for this destruction, Fayelin would leave Fexham behind and take Rebana up on her request to travel to Gwynbrenon in search of her brother. When their attempts at finding this wayward Fenik yielded no results, Rebana would decide to found Adventure Co. in the seaside town of Dreamerin to serve as a form of attraction point for him to find her instead. While Rebana worked on getting the guild up and running, Fayelin would travel east to Glyngrove to find Alyanna Starguard, daughter of the late Starguard elders in Fexham. She'd deliver to her the bad news and afterwards stay in Glyngrove to study under her, becoming a Druid in the years to come.
After training in the ways of the Alach'Caraid with Alyanna, Fay would move back to Dreamerin and study under the Aglua Treoir, becoming skilled in the use of water-based magics and shapeshifting. She would become an active member of Adventure Co. and at some point reunite with Lupendra Everblade and Elwyn Drowfang, both of whom would add themselves to the guild's ranks. It is implied that at some point she would also face off against Nidrogan again, this time learning of her desire to fight Fay and see her at her best. With her suspicions that Nidrogan's attacks were motivated by Fayelin's presence proven right, Fay would grow more anxious to be around others. Keyr would also join Adventure Co. at some point, though he would go by the name "The Master" by the members to keep his identity hidden.
In 3015, Fayelin would take part in busting a secretive slave market in New Luxford. One of the slaves, the Keklar Anna, would be taken under her wing for a time. Fay would act like a mentor to this simple-minded girl and help her be integrated into society, making her a member of Adventure Co. soon afterwards. More recently in 3019 and 3020, Fayelin would meet Blackie, a Dragon disguised as a Draken Hybrid, and Beatrice Forestwolf, a Reverie Wolfen. Through mishaps and travel together, Beatrice and Fay would grow close and affectionate toward one another.
During a quest to put an end to Madam Salma's wicked trade in Dawn's Edge, Fay would face off against Nidrogan for the third time. This time, her draconic rival would reveal herself to be more powerful than ever, forcing Fayelin to call for a retreat while she stayed behind to keep her opponent busy. She'd lose her right arm in the process of fighting Nidrogan but would be left alive to "get better".
Fayelin's arm would regrow but at the cost of her own control. The Dragon Relic, Starwrath, is revealed to be at odds with its wielder and is constantly battling for dominance over her body. With blue tattoos covering her body a symbol of the spreading influence of the relic, Fay struggles to make peace with the fact that she is losing this long war within herself. At around that time, Nidrogan would show herself once more by capturing Elwyn and Carly Forestwolf, Beatrice's step-sister, and forcing Fay to act. The two would do battle at Lake Kurath against the Endwalkers led by Ard'Mhion Fathas. Here, Elwyn would lose her life in a sadistic ritual conducted by the Endwalkers to open a chasm beneath the lake. While they fought Nidrogan and the Endwalkers, back in Dreamerin an attack would occur on Adventure Co.'s headquarters which would result in their home being burned to the ground. Nidrogan would be bested by a reinvigorated Fayelin who would be filled with wrath at this point but once more escape her fate.
With memories of the past washing over her once more, Fay makes an attempt at her own life by throwing the cursed relic away, quickly losing her vitality upon being separated from Starwrath, forcing Beatrice and Rebana to put it back around her neck. Nowadays, Fayelin travels with Beatrice, taking life one step at a time while she tries to figure herself out.

Powers and Abilities
Fayelin is an accomplished Druid capable of an assortment of Nature spellwork, Shapeshifting and Healing. She lives to never be caught off-guard or without a tool so she keeps a many varied ways of approaching combat when necessary through the use of her shapeshifting weapon Starwrath, her magic and her different druid forms each capable of performing a different task or dealing with enemies in a different way. Her excessive need to not have any weaknesses has ultimately become a weakness, as Fayelin hasn't been able to master any of her skills but her versatile toolkit and quick adaption oft cancels out her lack of mastery in anything.
Combat Class - Druid
As a Druid that has trained under the tutelage of Alach'Caraid and later also Aglua Treoir, Fayelin is a Druid has wields nature's forces in order to enhance herself with boons, summon forth wild growths or heal herself and allies.
Elemental Magic - Water & Wind
Fay prefers the use of Water and Wind-based elemental magics. She uses water to enhance her healing as well as conjure ice for area and enemy control while wind is used for mobility and specialised ranged attacks like calling upon lightning. Fay weaves the use of her magics into her spear-combat, using wind to boost her mobility when going on the offensive and frost to keep enemies in place.
Shapeshifting
Using both her knowledge in Druidism as well as the boons granted by Starwrath, Fay can easily shapeshift into different animal forms. As of now the forms she has a Feline Form that takes the shape of a Wyrmeron Umbra; An Ursine Form that resembles a mystical Ironfur; and an Avian Form that resembles a white Raven. Her feline form is primarily used for ground-based mobility, vicious claw-attacks, and stealth; her Ursine Form grants her increased endurance which allows her to stay on the frontlines and take blows for her allies; and her Avian Form grants her unrivalled mobility in the air for repositioning as well as a boost to her elemental magic.
Weapon - Starwrath
This unique Dragon Relic that takes the form of an amulet is both Fay's greatest strength and her biggest weakness. It grants the wearer a passive increase to their perception, strength and magical capabilities. It allows Fay to conjure a weapon of her choice into her hand to use in melee combat, which for her is a long spear. Fay is capable of being an agile melee lancer with her weapon, using it to deliver quick and powerful blows.
Starwrath also empowers her magic to be more potent. It makes Shapeshifting for Fay almost seamless and non-exhausting, allowing her to weave it into her combat. She is also able to tap into Starwrath's power to summon clones of her shapeshifting forms, which while temporary can serve well in a pinch. There is no technical limit on how many summons Fay can create, but each summon beyond the first starts to drain her energy more rapidly.
Starwrath is without fault however. Due to a mysterious tie with the young Wolfen's life, the Dragon Relic is directly connected to the core of her very being through a magical tether. Disruption to this tether through powerful Anti-Magic or removing the necklace from Fay's person causes Fay to rapidly lose her vitality.
Arcatech
Fay is knowledgeable in Engineering thanks to the teachings of Keyr. Specifically she is trained to be an Arcatechnician, an engineer that practices Arcatech. This allows her greater understanding in not only basic Engineering know-how but also specialised Arcatech problems.
Pathfinding
Thanks to years of adventuring, Fay has a great understanding of the world around her, whether it be reading a map or knowing the culture of the areas she visits.
Other Professions
Fayelin has basic understanding in Alchemy thanks to Rebana. This allows her to brew simple potions.
She is well versed in topics of Herbalism and Geology thanks to her training on the field and Druidism.
She has also studied Medicine and First Aid to supplement her healing magic.
Physical Description
Fay is a white-furred Wolfen with an an androgynous appearance, bordering between femininity and masculinity. She has glowing blue eyes, long sharp ears and a black nose at the tip of her snout. She has a flowing white mane that runs past her neck. She has blue tattoos covering her body which serve as ethereal scars against her battle with her relic.
Since the battle at Lake Kurath, Fay is covered in a conjured Starwrath armour. In this armour, she wears a long coat that reaches down to her feet with a vibrant leafy rim. Her shoulderguards are decorated with crescent-shaped stones and leaf-like draconic wings protrude outward from her back.
Fay possesses a Humanoid form much like many other Wolfen, with hers being a Hybrid of a Wolfen and Human, a combination which is not commonly taken by Wolfen. In this form she is 160cm tall and has short white hair, blue eyes and a pair of Wolfen ears sticking out of her hair. She is lightly toned in this form.
