As you gaze upon Oluja for the first time, your attention is immediately captured by her commanding presence. Standing tall at six feet, she exudes the aura of a seasoned warrior tempered by divine forces. Her skin is fair, almost ethereal, providing a stark contrast to her vivid, electric yellow eyes that seem to crackle with contained lightning.

Oluja's hair is a mesmerizing spectacle in itself—Radiant Yellow, it flows and whips around her head and shoulders as if caught in a perpetual gust of wind. This supernatural breeze that seems to follow her accentuates her otherworldly nature as an Air Genasi. Her hair frames a face marked by sharp, elegant features and an expression that balances stern resolve with a serene confidence.

Her physique is both athletic and statuesque, indicative of her rigorous training and the strength required to wield her sacred powers. Her armor, adorned with motifs of thunder and stormy skies, clings to her form, enhancing her imposing figure without hindering her grace. The armor itself seems to shimmer with a subtle glow, hinting at its enchanted nature and the divine protection it offers.

As she moves, there's a fluidity and assurance in her step—a warrior in tune with the elements and her own considerable power. To behold Oluja is to see the embodiment of the storm's might and the calm that follows, a duality that defines her essence as a paladin of Perun.

 

BACKGROUND


Amazon of Perunalia
Source Midgard


  • Personality Traits: Anyone who fights with skill deserves my respect, men and women alike. My nerve is as steady as an arrow’s flight.
  • Ideals: Fairness. I treat everyone in an even-handed manner until they prove themselves unworthy.
  • Bonds: My bow is a family heirloom and a symbol of my house.
  • Flaws: I’ll never admit a fault to a man, and only rarely to another woman.

Background Feature: 

Bred to the Bow:
The care you show to your bow and arrows is unsurpassed. If you spend 1 hour maintaining your weapons and ammunition, for the next 24 hours you can recover all arrows that miss their target by spending 1 minute searching at the end of an encounter. Further, you decorate your arrows with colored fletching that denotes your rank among the amazons. You begin at the lowest rank with white fletching. Every 4 levels, you advance to the next color: green, blue, black, and finally red. You
can expect deference and respect from any amazon you outrank, just as you are expected to defer to an amazon who outranks you.


BACKSTORY

Early Life
Born under the tumultuous skies of the Amazon of Perunalia, Oluja’s birth was marked by an extraordinary meteorological event—a fierce storm that cleared as suddenly as it had arrived, which the local seers interpreted as an omen of her destined path. Raised in the matriarchal society of Perunalia, a land revered for its powerful female warriors and deep spiritual connections, Oluja grew up surrounded by tales of heroism and the divine acts of Perun, the God of War and Thunder.

From a young age, she was immersed in the rigorous training typical of Perunalian Amazons, mastering archery as her first rite of passage. However, her unique connection to the air around her—being able to sense changes in pressure and mood—set her apart. This affinity was not just physical but spiritual, guiding her towards a deeper calling.

The Oath and Divine Intervention
As she matured, Oluja felt a profound connection to the storms that frequently swept through her homeland. During one such tempest, she ventured alone into the heart of the storm, driven by an inexplicable pull. At the storm’s peak, she experienced a vision of Perun, who spoke of a path laid out for her beyond the traditional duties expected of her as an Amazon. Inspired and humbled, she took the Oath of Thunder, dedicating herself to Perun and vowing to wield the storm's might to protect and rejuvenate her people.

Paladin of Perun
Oluja’s training as a paladin began under the tutelage of the Storm Priestesses of Perunalia. She learned to channel her divine powers, focusing on protection and rebirth. Her ability to manipulate the winds and call upon the thunder became signatures of her combat style, earning her a revered place among her people.

Protector and Emissary
Recognized for her prowess and wisdom, Oluja was soon tasked with not only defending Perunalia but also representing it in the wider world. Her missions have taken her across lands and seas, where she has forged alliances and faced adversaries that threatened her homeland and the balance of the natural world. Her journeys have also been quests for knowledge, seeking ancient relics and texts that hold the secrets to further harnessing her elemental powers.

Current Challenges
Recently, Oluja’s has been traveling with a group of her companions searching for the location of the legendary Rultmoork spire. The realization that they might be on the brink of rediscovering a lost site of great power and historical significance fuels her resolve as she trudges ever onward.
