Leandra, The Fallen Valkyrie

Overview:

Skill Proficiencies: Athletics +8, Intimidation +9

Lifestyle: Guardian

Languages: Celestial, Common

Equipment:

Darksteel Longsword Thunderbolt Spear Teardrop Kite Shield Plate Armor

Features:

Heroic Weapons. Weapons wielded by a necrokyrie are treated as magical weapons and inflict an extra 2d6 lightning damage when they hit. Soul Capture. A necrokyrie can trap the soul of a creature it slays in its weapon as a bonus action. The creature must make a DC 16 Charisma save to avoid this. At the end of each day, the creature can attempt a new saving throw to escape. A trapped creature cannot return from the dead and does not go on to its afterlife. Chooser's Frenzy. Upon reaching 1/4 of maximum hit points, Leandra enters a state of frenzy, emits an unending high-pitched wail, and rushes the nearest enemy. During this time, she is unable to cast spells and will swing both her longsword and spear 5 times a turn until either all her foes lay in heaps of limbs or she is slain. Taste for Carrion. Upon a successful melee attack, Leandra will absorb some of the fallen life essences, healing for 1d6 worth of hit points. With each healing action, her appearance reverts somewhat from that of an undead being to what she looked like in life.

Suggested Characteristics: Once regarded as a beauty on the battlefield, her appearance has been ravaged by the passage of time and undeath. She appears as a predatory Amazonian warrior. Flaxen-haired. Pale of skin.

Personality Trait:

In a better time, she was the foremost of her kind. Seeking only to bear away the souls of the worthy dead to their perspective afterlives, their's was a duty full of reverence. Twisted to a hollow mask of her former self, her vision of honor and the sanctity of life are warped beyond recognition. To Leandra, there aren't any worthy dead, for none alive could be worth more than the effort it takes to extinguish their vital spark. With a disdain for the living driving her onward, she cannot turn away from a fight. She will attack relentlessly until she or her foe is vanquished.

Ideal:

Life holds no value, the best thing that can be done to someone is to end their witness to the world.
