About

Oscearo (Oh-see-AR-oh) was born on the 5th day of the 5th month of Uthmor the Giant in the year of the Bronze Wyvern, 400 years after the victory of Lanival the Redeemer, into an obscure offshoot branch of the Outcast Tribes. In Arhat 424 she left her home in the Velaka Desert, for reasons which she declines to comment on, eventually making her way to Crossing in Moliko of the same year. She has since joined the Warrior Mage guild, and been taken on by Perune Nocarrain as his apprentice. She does not necessarily think she is a very good apprentice, but this may in part be accounted for by the words used to describe her since her coming to Crossing, which include "somber," "dour," and "pessimistic." If asked, she would choose to replace these words with "thoughtful," "stoic," and, naturally, "realistic."

Description

You see Apprentice Warrior Mage Oscearo Stillwater, a Human.
She has a square face, close-set amber eyes and a straight nose. Her white hair is short and wavy, and is worn tied back in a thin braided tail. She has dark brown skin and an athletic figure.
She is short for a Human.
She is an adult.

She is wearing a short hunting spear, an iridescent green wildlace shawl trimmed in virid opals, a sage-green cloth hair wrap dangling with a beaded eagle feather, some colorful beaded earrings, a beige wool burnoose, a brown cotton blouse, a flax-colored silk sash, some rugged leathers, a pair of brown leather sandals with cross straps, a wide cambrinth apprentice's armband in the shape of a pair of leucros, a pale jade bracelet crafted to resemble a water snake eating its tail, a braided copper ring, a bangle-style bronze anklet with an antiqued finish, and a sturdy canvas bundle.

Magic

Oscearo's primary affinity is to the element of water, with secondary affinities for earth and air.

Having received an unorthodox training among her people as something more akin to a bard, Oscearo still perceives mana as music rather than visible streams. She also finds it challenging to cast spells by means of sigils rather than through song or some other vocalization, and as a result has devised an array of vocal crutches to use which any self-respecting warrior mage would likely find deplorable.

Familiar

Oscearo's familiar is a fuzzy calico guinea-pig who has taken the name of Pipsissewa. Pipsissewa considers herself a visiting scholar at Asemath Academy, having successfully graduated herself from a children's classroom in Arthe Dale. She is fond of her stubborn, proud, foolish mageling, but finds deeply regrettable her mageling's habit of referring to her as "Pips."
