Aygun Ulric

"'I don't care who you are, threaten her again and i'm going to rip your spine out through your teeth.' - Aygun Ulric to Ruhard Fritz"

Intro
Stalwart and stern, Aygun Ulric is one of the six founding members of the Golden Blades. She is a paladin who worships Yaggdytha and a former Omelian crusader. Aygun now stands as a knight errant to the Stormwind family.

Appearance
Aygun is a tall, well muscled Omelian woman in her mid thirties. Due to her short cropped hair, stocky build and tendency to keep herself clad in full armor it is not uncommon for strangers to mistake her for a man. She is best identified by the religious tattoos which cover her arms and chin, as well as the numerous scars that have become a staple of her character. Among those visible are the scars across her face as well as the two missing fingers on her left hand. Those who have seen Aygun out of armor have described her body to be somewhat disfigured by decades of war. She wears bronze plate armor as well as plumed helm styled in the fashion of Helenian warriors.

Personality
Aygun is incredibly short fused and very quick to anger. While she does not purposefully seek out conflict, her uncompromising personality has often led both herself and the party into dangerous situations. While very critical of the Delkian wars, Aygun is still proud of her homeland, holding steadfast to her faith in Yaggdytha and the veneration of war. Despite her title of paladin, Aygun is known to be shockingly merciless to her enemies, deeming anything that is a threat to humanity unworthy of life. Even to her party members she is cold as well as somewhat distant. However, beneath the stern exterior is a genuinely broken and traumatized person desperately searching for redemption and purpose. On multiple occasions Aygun has mentioned that ultimately her only goal is to protect those who can not do so themselves.

Biography
Aygantocles al-Basheer was born in a small village near the Omelian-Delkian border to Titus al-Basheer and Serena Nassar alongside her twin brother, Petrus. Titus was a blacksmith by trade, a tradition which had been passed down through their family for generations (or so he claimed). Petrus and Aygantocles were the youngest for four siblings, and though life in the desert was harsh, she enjoyed a fairly peaceful, joyful upbringing. By the age of seven, her two older brothers had begun to take over her father's forge full time, while her and Petrus would only just begin to unravel the mystery of metal.
