Vera Lorian

Name: Vera Lorian

Class: Summoner (Bronze)

Race: Human

Age: 26

Occupation: Summoner/Student

Residence: The Institute of War

Alignment: Neutral Good

Abilities:
Vera is a Bronze Summoner of reasonable power. As a graduate of the Arcanum Majoris, she is capable of casting minor arcane spells. (through 1st level), but her true gifts lie in her rare ability to “amplify” the powers of others. Vera prefers to summon mages because the nature of her abilities causes her to identify more easily with other wielders of the arcane.

Passive (Tether): Vera’s spells connect as arcane tethers, producing beneficial effects upon a target for as long as Vera can maintain concentration. Except under the effects of “Strength of Will,” Vera can only maintain one tether at a time.

Amplify: Vera creates a tether of arcane power which connects to her chosen target, amplifying their strengths. This doubles the effectiveness of arcane spells cast by the amplified target. While channeling, Vera can speak but not take actions.

Reinforce: Vera creates a tether similar to “Amplify,” but enhancing physical strength rather than arcane power by a margin of 150%.

Protect: Vera creates a protective anti-magic shield in the shape of a dome up to 15 feet in diameter and 15 feet high. Physical beings and attacks can penetrate the shield, but as long as Vera can hold her concentration, magical effects are reduced within it by a margin of 75%. The dome can be dispelled by a more powerful mages. Any magical attack of great power will cause the shield to short-circuit and explode outward with the same force as the attack it attempted to absorb. Vera suffers a .5 second stun upon the shield’s dispersion.

Strength of Will: When under extreme emotional duress (i.e. the death of an ally, facing a threat against her loved ones or homeland) Vera experiences a power surge. In this state, Vera can maintain two tethers at a time (one from each hand.) These may be either Amplify or Reinforce tethers and may be directed upon one target or two.

A target will experience fatigue after the tether is disconnected for a period of time equal to twice the duration of the target’s connection to Vera.

Relationships:
Hildebrand Runeblood: Vera’s mentor. She regards him with a great amount of respect and admiration.

Vessaria Kolminye: Intimidated by the High Councilor’s very presence. Fiercely loyal to the League—and its leader, by association.

Derrick Azordia: (Deceased) Vera’s friend and mentor. She disagreed with his haughtiness and sometimes abrasive style of command, but admired his capabilities and is eternally grateful for his guidance during her starting years with the League of Legends.

Zakahn and Tyzra Lorian: Both alive, residing nearby The Placidium. Good terms.

Vera is an Ionian woman, petite, with long free-flowing black hair. A small purple crystal is eternally affixed to her forehead: a physical representation of her abilities as, essentially, a living minor nexus.

Biography:
Vera was born in Ionia 3 years before the founding of the Institute, in-land at the site of the current Placidium, which was then only a network of villages. She watched as refugees from the Noxian invasion flooded north. Empathy for the families of those lost overwhelmed her—but she was still a child, powerless.

As soon as she was old enough, at 18, she bid her parents farewell and left to study at the Arcanum Majoris, completing her formal education in five years. For the past three years she has avidly served the Institute, which she views as the best hope Valoran has for maintaining peace. Ever learning, ever growing, ever seeking to better herself and the world around her.
