User:Domini Dracula

Hello my name is Alexander Yount, I have been playing Guild Wars for two years and this is my Crew.

=Domini Dracula=

Domini Dracula is the leader of a group of adventurers and friends comprising of Thorne Thredanar, Illiana Rel, Arya Bloodrayne, Colonel Hereford "Hd" Sanders, and Mipham Rinpoche. She is a Necromancer of astounding skill and has studied personally under Eve in the art of Necromancy. Domini is a follower of Grenth and makes it her duty to send as many souls to Him in the time she is alive, and while it fun for her to wreck havoc with her undead army she finds it more delightful to cause suffering in living creatures using hexes and curses.

Lore
Lore from the mind of Alexander Yount.
 * Nation: Ascalon
 * Birthplace: Drascir
 * Age: 26


 * Domini Dracula was born in Drascir to a mortician and his wife so was steeped in death from before she could walk. As such, her father taught her many things about human anatomy and since then has had a fascination with how the bodies of the creatures she kills are made up. When the Charr sacked Drascir years before The Searing she and her family fled down to Ascalon City behind The Great Northern Wall but never made it. In the process of escape her parents were killed and to save herself from the same fate Domini called upon her unrealized talent at necromancy and exploited her parents bodies to make undead minions to slaughter the charr warband that had attacked them. After that incident she wandered the country side killing indiscriminately until she was confronted by Necromancer Munne who took her in and taught her the intricacies of the profession. When The Searing took place she was enlisted in the Ascalon Vanguard,after a brief time taking instruction from a necromancer called Eve. She was, at this time, placed in her squadron along with Thorne, Arya, Hd, and Mipham. It was not until after the groups arrival in the Northern Shiverpeaks that Illiana joined the group. When she has the time Domini can be found over a body of one sort or another meticulously cataloging its structure with a surgeons precision.


 * Domini Dracula is slightly disturbed due to her past history. This, however, does not effect the way she outwardly presents herself or in the way she leads her team. Her insanity shows only in the heat of battle as an overwhelming joy in killing her opponents. She is rude and to the point and this behavior some times creates friction between her and Hd Sanders who is a natural gentleman. Domini was elected to the position as leader of her squadron by her undisputed decision because when she voiced her candidacy every one else was too frightened by her to speak against her.

Trivia

 * Domini is the name given to Count Dracula's wife in the comic book series Tomb of Dracula created by Marv Wolfman and Gene Colan. Her first appearance was in Tomb of Dracula issue #45 released in June of 1976.
 * Domini is the Latin word for "Master" or "Lord", usually given as a title to a Knight or Clergyman. Dracula was the nickname of Prince Vlad of Walachia and means "of Vampires". So Domini Dracula literally means "Master of Vampires".

=Thorne Thredanar=

Thorne Thredanar is the tactical genius of the group. He can make the toughest situations simple with direct and indirect solutions all in the same plan. His plans usually incorporate the next three hundred moves by all creatures in an encounter and make them so the party comes out on top with as little loss on his side as possible. He rarely speaks but when he does he is plain spoken and to the point. Thorne is the second in command of the group and will keep the rampant destructiveness of Domini's behavior in check as long as it helps further an outcome, otherwise, he lets her have her fun.

 * Nation: Ascalon
 * Birthplace: Drascir
 * Age: 47


 * Thorne Thredanar was born in Drascir to a military family. From a young age his father and mother taught him the martial arts and tactical strategy. He was 32 years old when the Charr sacked Drascir and was member of the Ascalon Army at the time. Several years later when The Searing began he joined the Ascalon Vanguard where he was grouped with his present day squadron. Since then he has quietly progressed his way into the legends by, with his party, saving all three great continents and the world on several occasions.  While he is glad of his rise to fame he is humbled by his upbringing as a military man, for he knows that one day he will die and be forgotten in the sands of Time like every one else.

=Arya Bloodrayne=

Arya Bloodrayne is the powerhouse of the group and probably the most important of the six. While not confident in her abilities she doles out some of the hardest hitting spells in the group. Many times the group would have perished if it were not for the might Arya brings to the table. When The Searing hit she was drafted into the Ascalon Army and within that sent into the Ascalon Vanguard. There she met what are now her closest friends and even though Illiana was induced into the party later, Arya now has a close relationship with her as a friend and confident.

 * Nation: Ascalon
 * Birthplace: Rin
 * Age: 24


 * Arya Bloodrayne was born to a family of agriculturalists and spent most of her time battling the Plague Worm scourge that occasionally destroyed parts of their fields. When it was found out that she had an aptitude for magic her parents shipped her off to the Nolani Academy of the Arcane Arts for training. As the Charr began The Searing she was drafted into the Ascalon Vanguard by means of "need every able-bodied available" ploy. While in service to Prince Rurik she was placed in a squadron that was to become her closest companions.


 * Arya Bloodrayne is a shy, timid girl that eventually found strength and courage with the passage of time in her party. She relies on Thorne Thredanar for support in being brave, Mipham Rinpoche for moral encouragement, and Illiana Rel to just be there to talk. She is afraid of Domini and tolerates Hd Sanders' subtle advances with a measured temper but always with denial.

Trivia

 * Has a self confidence issues.
 * Has an intimate relationship with Illiana rel.

=Colonel Hereford "Hd" Sanders=

Colonel Hd Sanders is the rich kid. He has all the connections and if he doesn't, can make them with cash. He is also the team diplomat and negotiations guy. He is full of wit and charm and therefore if very charismatic. He likes things to be neat and orderly, which puts him in good terms with the tactical mind of Thorne and against the brash actions of the group leader Domini. While he holds the title of Colonel within the group and outwardly to others, he is not or ever was a colonel in any military. Colonel is just a nickname given to him by the party to commemorate his need for a military like attitude and dress code.

 * Nation: Ascalon
 * Birthplace: Rin
 * Age: 35


 * Hereford Sanders was born to a fairly rich family in Rin during the Guild Wars. His father was a successful merchant and his mother was part of the theatrical production overseen by Lady Althea. As that was the case, growing up Hereford spent a lot of time around prestigious persons and stage performers. While around these people he gained insight into many of the intricacies of the Mesmer class as many of the performers studied this area to better enhance their act with magic. He learned how to act, dance, sing, speak and the proper etiquette for people in a position of wealth and power.  Upon the arrival of The Searing he was drafted into the Ascalon Vanguard to help fight for the cause. While he does resent having to take part in any act of violence, he does appreciate the fact the he gets to travel all over the world to do so.


 * Colonel Hd Sanders has the hots for Arya Bloodrayne, "a simple county girl that got caught up in war" as he did. Hereford tries a few times a week to woo Arya but to no avail. He now tries any way just on the thought that one day she might give in.

Trivia

 * Colonel Hd Sanders is the founder of KFC Restaurant, although Hd in his case does not stand for Hereford.
 * Colonel Hd Sanders wears the 15K enchanters dyed white to further the effigy toward the real Mr. Sanders.

=Illiana Rel=

Illiana Rel is the youngest member of the group and the only one not a native to Ascalon of even Tyria. Illiana is the air cover for the group. She covers every ones back and gives support form the rear by use of her bow. She is literally the rearguard of the group because of the range she can get to attack. The groups' monk is even in front of her and it is her most important job to see that he does not get hit. Also if there is an attack from behind she is the first one to know and to deal with that threat while the rest of the group mops up the frontal assault. She is also the fastest person in the group and there for is used as a scout and messenger when in non-combat situations.

 * Nation: Cantha
 * Birthplace: Kaineng City
 * Age: 18


 * Illiana was born in Kaineng City, Cantha to a family who's head of house is in the Celestial Ministry. She hated that life, with all its codes and conducts, and as soon as word spread to Cantha that there was strife in Tyria she boarded the first available ship destined there to see if she could not join in on the fight. Taking with her the skills she had learned as an officials daughter: archery, nimbleness of mind and body, and a will to survive and as soon as she landed in Lion's Arch started making her way east to Ascalon as soon as her ship landed. But soon Illiana ran into trouble after a brief stop in a place called Beacon's Perch. She had run into a large platoon of Stone Summit and in the process of escaping got ensnared by a pack of creatures known as Frostfire Dryder. Their natural abilities to siphon the life out of a person where just about to kill her when out of nowhere a group of strangers came along and killed the lot of them. She cannot remember exactly how it happened or how she came to be in the company of five strangers when she awoke, but since then has been a part of the team.


 * Illiana Rel despite her relatively young age is a formidable opponent and none of the other team members disputes her talents. She has mastered the bow and and has, on her own, mastered the spiders of the underworld and has taken one to be her animal companion and pet. When news reached her of the plague in Cantha after she helped save Tyria from the Lich Lord it was she that convinced the group to head to Cantha to free her homeland from the grip of Shiro Tagachi.

Trivia

 * Has an intimate relationship with Arya Bloodrayne.

=Mipham Rinpoche=

Mipham Rinpoche is a kind, gentle person that has dedicated his life to repairing damage and not giving it. Don't be fooled though, when he needs to be he is one heavy hitter with his divine abilities to Smite. He worships both Dwaynaand Balthazar but has always leaned more toward Dwayna. He has always aspired to be like his role model Mhenlo and become a great monk in the name of what he believes in. Mipham joined the group as all others, through the Ascalon Vanguard, but did so willingly so as to be there to heal and mend his teammates.

To fight side by side with his role model and learning from him the whole way.


 * Mipham Rinpoche is level headed and full of wisdom though he rarely credits himself to any deed or act of kindness. "It is my job and your thanks is enough" is his personal motto.
