History:

Katherine "Kitah" Roltschoft was born and raised in a fair-sized town to two loving parents, her father an Arms-Master and her mother a Mage. It was apparent growing up, even almost right away, that Kitah was going to follow the path of her father. Active, inquisitive, and only studying when she had to as she grew up, it was clear she was more fit to follow in her father's path than her mother's.

And that's what she ended up doing, starting her training under him at the age of 8. She learned how to use conventional and not so conventional weaponry, and can pick up most weapons and use them without any real disadvantages. She can wield a weapon better with practice, of course.

As for her nickname, it was a simple mispronunciation of her parents pet name for her, as she had a very inquisitive and curious nature. They called her 'Kitty', which was further changed to Kitah by, well, Kitah herself. She liked it enough to keep it as a nickname and it has stuck ever since.

A year following her birth, her parents had another daughter by the name of Anveena. It was clear growing up that Kitah was the more active of the two, following in the footsteps of her father, while Anveena followed after her mother. When both of them were teens and had decided on what route they wanted to take, they decided to have a rivalry to see which was mightier: the Sword or the Mind.

Having been trained in everything her father could, she set out on her quest to find a new teacher to train under as well as explore Falacaerr...

Recent History (AKA Backstory Acquired Through Roleplaying):

Not a week after Kitah left her home town, she was lost. It wasn't her own fault, but a faulty map she had been sold in the previous town. Just as she was about to head back to the town, she had her first encounter with the goddess Balis. Who promptly incinerated the map, saying the magic used to falsify the map had been irritating her. Kitah was surprised to find herself in the presence of the Goddess, to say the least. She was also surprised when she was given two magical onyx rabbit earrings as compensation for the map, as well as offered a place in one of Balis' temples since night was coming on. The bewildered Kitah accepted, and was sent on her way with provisions the next morning.

Not long after that, using the magic of the Earrings, Kitah managed to get herself into a tournament for men. Unfortunately, her luck ended there and she was promptly beaten in the first round. Charity was amongst the audience and, thanks to her, Kitah was able to keep her armor and stay out of debt to her opponent. The two got to talking, and Kitah expressed an interest in finding a new teacher, at which Charity invited Kitah to travel back to Morning with her to find one.

On the way back to Morning, Kitah was told of the many warrior schools, as well as the different schools attached to the various religions in Morning. While Kitah initially was unsure about any of them, she eventually expressed an interest in becoming a Maternal Guardian like Charity herself.

During her interview with the Matron Mother of the Morning branch of the Maternal Guardians, she ended up deciding to be a Grey Guardian, the almost exclusively elf branch of the Maternal Guardians. It was not long after that she was introduced to Ermelinde, a former Dominator turned Grey Guardian. She took Kitah back to her home to begin her training.

Almost a year into her training, Ermelinde gave Kitah a task: to take a letter to a man that was stirring up rebellion in his part of the kingdom and remind him of what had happened before. Unfortunately, Kitah made it to the castle just in time to witness the Avenging Church, lead by a giantess Balis, lay siege to the castle and stop the rebellion before it even got started. It was afterwards that Kitah and Balis met for the second time, with Balis showing Kitah the various troops that had helped during the siege, as well as explaining the doctrine behind the Avenging Church. Kitah was then sent back to report to Ermelinde.

Two years later, Kitah was sent on another task by Ermelinde, this time to investigate a reported magical disturbance in the first village Kitah had visited after leaving her town. Kitah once again arrived just in time to witness an event unfold. Only this time, it was revealed that the entity CahVah had been asleep under the area the town had been expanding onto, and the noise and foundation being put into the ground had woken her up early. Kitah, due in part to the fact that she hadn't been part of construction crew, was spared long enough for the Heavenly Court of Falacaerr, Balis included, to show up and demand Cahvah return to sleep. Cahvah agreed, but on the condition that Kitah follow her to her new place of rest. Kitah did, but before Balis left she invited Kitah to come to her church, should she ever desire a place to stay or desire training as a Zealot. Cahvah returned to slumber, and Kitah once again returned to Ermelinde.

Just as Kitah's four years of training was about to end, tragedy struck. After being ambushed by a group of Lusty Thieves with only her and Ermelinde, Kitah was raped with Ermelinde in her womb by the lead of the Lusty Thieves. Even with Kitah's resistance, Ermelinde was killed before the rescue group of elves could find them. The group of Lusty Thieves escaped as well. This experience greatly disturbed Kitah, and only taking time to gather her things from her deceased teacher's home, she left for Morning on foot.

It was on the way to Morning, about a month after the incident, that she encountered the duelist, Lady_Preston, at a bar after a small tournament in the town she was staying at. Kitah was initially unwilling to talk, but Preston's charm and willingness to listen eventually won Kitah over. The two talked about experiences they had had, and it was Preston that got Kitah out from under the dark cloud she had been carrying with her following Ermelinde's death. Preston had to leave for a tournament the next day, but she promised to stop by in Morning when Kitah mentioned she was headed there.

Upon arriving in Morning, Kitah first sought out Charity. This was to inform Charity and the Guardians of Ermelinde's fate, as well as to reveal to Charity that she was going to take up Balis' offer to train as a Zealot. Charity was initially wary of Kitah moving on so quickly after her teacher's death. However, she knew it was Kitah's choice and she wished Kitah well, the two parting as friends.

Balis accepted Kitah's application to the Zealots not long after Kitah stepped into the Avenging Church's temple. Kitah was taken before Balis and asked for her reasons for wanting to join the Zealots, which Kitah explained. After determining that Kitah was ready and fit to join the Zealots, she was given Zealot armor and the traditional battle axe. After returning to the Morning branch of the Avenging Church, Kitah was added to the current training roster of the Zealots.

During Preston's many trips to Morning and their meetings when Kitah herself wasn't training, the friendship between the two grew into love. Kitah also began to train Preston on how to become a Grey Guardian herself, determined to continue on Ermelinde's legacy as well as teach her lover how to have an even better chance of defending herself. This led to a proud moment for Kitah when she was able to pray to the All-Mother to ask her to bless Preston with the ability to unbirth others, and the All-Mother found Preston worthy.

It was a few months into her training that Kitah was pulled out of her training, instructed by a messenger that she was needed in the Main Hall of the Morning branch of the Avenging Church. Kitah found herself meeting with Balis again, offered food and a seat while Balis worked up the nerve to reveal something to Kitah. After a few minutes, Balis revealed the truth: Kitah was Balis' daughter through Kitah's mortal father. It was revealed that just before Kitah's father had been married, he had been having second thoughts. As fate (or irony) would have it, he was to be married in one of Balis' shrines. Balis had come down to help soothe her father's fears, but this, even if the result was unintentional, led to a short elopement and a moment of passion between the two. Kitah's father had instantly regretted this, and rushed back to marry his soon-to-be wife. Balis had become pregnant, however, and upon Kitah's birth she took her to her father, wanting a normal life for her daughter instead of the hectic life of a divine. Kitah's father agreed to this, and telling his wife he had found the child abandoned in the woods, they raised her as their own. Kitah was shocked by this information, but took it in stride and looks forward to building up a relationship with her true mother.


Character Abilities (For Roleplay and D&D Purposes):

Zealot Skills/Powers:
Combat Expertise - All Zealots are instilled with a rudimentary knowledge of combat, particularly to excel with heavy plate armor and broadswords or large double-bladed axes. Through training, they refine and perfect this ability.
Nigh-Superhuman Stamina and Endurance - To be a Zealot is to be rigid and determined. The ability to combat for hours against the undead legions or contain captives within themselves requires great constitution. Balis both trains and imbues her Zealots with the methods to delay exhaustion. Be it from body conditioning, to minor prayers.
Passage to Hell - Although not able to directly teleport, all Zealots know of where and how to access portals to the underworld, and most explicitly, to the realm of Hell that is under Balis' ownership.
Smite Undead - In a flurry of blows leaving only ash in its wake, the righteous fury of a Zealot can decimate the aberration of the living dead.
Truth Sense - Able to detect lies through the unique method of licking someone.
Divine Inspiration - Ability to commune with Balis (This is a special form of prayer, direct to and always heard by Balis. VERY likely she'd respond back to any Zealot. Common worshipers... Not so likely. )
Illuminance - Create a sphere of light that is able to scold undead and keep them at distance. Primarily used as a source of light.
Rebirth - If a repenting convict wishes to start a new life in the service of Balis and her Avenging Church, they must willingly give themselves to a Zealot/Zealette, whom will then convert them to either sperm or egg respectively, and continue through the process of creation of life via a Zealot and Zealette. They will be born with most of their memories of their previous life, along with a change of perception onto Balis. They will perceive her as a second mother, and willingly go through the requirements to become a Zealot. Schooling, training, body building, all in the service to their new Goddess.
