Anastasia Alexandra Eisfluch [What-If Alastair]

» Name: Anastasia Alexandra Eisfluch
» Titles: Anastasia the Saviour, Chosen Fist of the Wise Lord
» Age: 23
» Gender: Female

» Affiliation/Rank: The Vandenreich, Ahura Mazda

» Physical Appearance Description: At a glance, Anastasia is a tall young woman with an athletic build and a mop of fiery red hair atop her head.

Anastasia's bright red hair is certainly the first trait that anyone would notice when looking at her, it is an unnatural shade that seems to resonate with the heat that she can exude during moments of particular exertion. In her youth, before she had begun to develop into her Quincy powers, and even at present-day following periods of prolonged stress, her hair can take on a muted auburn colour. Her hair is styled, or rather left almost unkempt, in a messy bob that stretches down her back whilst the fringe cuts off at eye-level.

Her facial features are sharp and boyish, with high cheekbones and a delicate nose, whilst her lips are full and often rest in a flirtatious smile. A pleasantly tan complexion only serves to amplify her face's dominating features - a pair of brilliant blue-coloured eyes that appear almost green when complimented by her dark skin and combined with that ginger hair. A warm gaze serves to amplify the sultry demeanour that appears to come effortlessly to her, a fact she does not seem to mind.

Standing just shy of 6'3", with a filled-out frame that sports ample muscle and bust, Anastasia certainly casts an imposing figure by stature alone. An upbringing spent devoted to physical training and a spartan diet had left her with a sinewy build, honed for her preferred style of evasive and explosive movements in combat, but her build was altered drastically along with everything else about her when she was awakened by the Wise Lord.

When it comes to casual wear, Anastasia is a fan of tight-fitting clothing that shows as much skin as possible. Jackets are a common staple of her outfits, from a blazer in summer to long-but-open coats in winter, and she prefers achromatic colours to lively ones. As far as accessories go, she does not take a particularly excessive approach though one key detail is that she tends to wear gloves regardless of the season.

Anastasia's combat outfit is not a far cry from his typical casual ones, consisting of a crop-cut white shirt that clings tightly to her supple frame and, equally body-hugging, suit pants that cover her legs and end in black military boots with thick soles. A thick belt wraps around her waist, from which hangs most of her equipment including a Quincy pendant in the shape of a cross. This cross motif is repeated across her back as a tattoo, and branded in white upon the back of her black gloves.

» Personality: Devoted in body and soul to Ahura Mazda, Anastasia's entire personality is moulded to best serve as a tool and companion for her master. That is perhaps the most accurate description of her relationship to the divine being, that of a master and a slave, though she is an entirely willing participant in this bond.

Beyond that, she is a flirtatious and bubbly character with a lively vibe and a smile ever-present on her lips. Were anyone capable of getting close to her, as she does seem to casually push anyone other than Mazda away from her, they might notice that her smile does seem to curl just a little too sharply. When her eyes catch the light just right, it might be possible that an onlooker catches a glimpse of dull rust in the back of her pupils that seems to almost cry out for attention.



» History

Alastair was born in Germany, the youngest of three children born from the union of Johan and Elizabeth Eisfluch and the couple's only son...

PUT THE REST OF ALASTAIR BACKSTORY HERE

...His cataclysmic rise to prominence amongst the ranks of the Vandenreich was eventually enough to catch the attention of Cyrus' divine aspects made into a true form. A chance meeting with Ahura Mazda changed Alastair's path drastically, as the naive Quincy asked for the power with which to create his ideal world. To his surprise, it was given - though not freely. Granted a divine aspect, that of The Saviour, Mazda also set about moulding Alastair into someone that better suited his own ideal world. Thus Anastasia Eisfluch first came into being.

Anastasia was, on many levels, the fundamental opposite of Alastair. His will for making the world a better place entirely changed to one that lived only to serve and service Mazda. She who had been such a bright star had become nothing but a dulled pawn, and yet she wore a wide smile on her face.



» Skills:

Spiritual Awareness: The pure-blooded son of two well-respected Echte Quincy, Anastasia has been in tune with the spiritual world for as long as she can remember. Detecting subtle changes to the spirits in the nearby vicinity has become a part of her everyday life, and it certainly plays an important role in her work with the Vandenreich.

Close Range Specialist: Atypically for a Quincy, Anastasia has always possessed a natural talent for swords and melee combat. She has honed her swordsmanship from a young age, alongside martial arts lessons and Quincy training, and refined her skills under the tutelage of some of the finest human swordsmen that money could buy. Her abilities have been put to the test recently, during the fourth world war, when she partook in the taking of America against Shadow Fall.

Kissed by Fire: For as long as she can remember, Anastasia has had an affinity with the element of fire. She prefers hot drinks, warm baths, and tropical climates though these are perhaps only natural choices. She can withstand a notably higher heat threshold than the average human, though not to the point where she could be considered resistant. This phenomenon can also be combined with her Quincy training to heat the latent Reishi in the atmosphere to the point where it could warm her body in a cold environment, though she is not at a level where this could be considered useful passively in combat.



» Quincy Skills:

Yeah, she's got them.



» Spirit Weapon Name: Falke

» Spirit Weapon Appearance: The binding element of Falke is the grip, as the design remains relatively constant whilst the rest of the weapon can change to suit Anastasia's needs. The core appears as a dull bronze handle shaped in the fashion of a grip moulded perfectly to fit her fingers alone, though despite its metallic colour remains lightweight enough for the Quincy to wield it with an artful finesse. From this base, Reishi coalesces to form either the limbs of a short bow or the blade of a sword that runs to a similar length as one half of the bow form.

In a direct comparison, the bow form is the more powerful of the two. This is because it requires a considerable amount more Reishi than the blade which can be used effectively in lower Reishi environments even whilst wearing a Leiden Hant. Though able to attack over distance, even the short bow performs better in close quarters engagements where Heilig Pfeil can be fired in rapid succession with minimal chance for opponents to dodge and evade.

Blade and Bow:

» Spirit Weapon Abilities:

Blitzfeuer (Flash Fire): Focusing upon the Heilig Pfiel as it is released, Anastasia can gather the Reishi nearby to superheat the arrowhead as it flies through the air which causes it to emit a blinding light upon impact and pierce through tougher materials than her average arrows would be able to.

The range of the attack is also reduced, maxing out at around half that of her traditional bow attacks, and - whilst the ability can be executed at point-blank range - Anastasia is no more resistant to the blinding light than her opponents.

Entladungsstreik (Discharge Strike): A forceful blow made in either bow or blade form, that is made with the Spirit Weapon itself rather than launching a projectile from it. In essence, it serves as a close-range burst attack that releases some of the Reishi stored in the weapon itself and can be used for several utility purposes.

Using Entladungsstreik in bow form consumes enough Reishi that the weapon forcibly degrades into the blade form, whilst using it in blade form instead releases a blast that propels Anastasia back as an emergency disengagement tool.

Regardless of which form the technique is used in, the next few attacks that Anastasia unleashes will be at reduced power until she is able to refocus upon her glove and restore the weapon to its fully powered state.

Spoiler:

» Vollständig Name: The Saviour's Voice

» Vollständig Appearance: Damn, she looks fine.

» Vollständig Abilities:

With powers beyond that of any mere mortal, Anastasia's Vollständig is closer to a Divine Ascendance than a proper Quincy release. Gifted the power by Mazda, she can temporarily speak in his voice and channel briefly the voice that simply wills power into being. Though limited by her Spirit Class, she is still capable of forming complex sentences to deliver a wide range of OP bullshit as detailed in Mazda's original app.
