Special Abilities:
Chamila is a paladin with formal training at the Cathedral of the Holy Light. While she was trained in the use of a shield and sword, Chamila preferred a more passive way of contributing to the war efforts, such as healing. It is much less confrontational, and Chamila hates confrontation. Using the Light, Chamila can mend gruesome wounds, dial down oncoming damage to an ally, cleanse dreadful diseases and some toxins, and briefly stun foes. The following are examples of what she is capable of:
+ Lay on Hands: Chamila can cast a powerful healing spell to bring an ally back from the brink of death, but in doing so, it costs all of her mana and a great deal of her energy. This is an absolute last resort healing spell.
+ Flash of Light: Chamila can cast rapid healing spells, but casting this too many times can deplete her of her mana.
+ Stun: Using a bright flash of light, Chamila can temporarily blind a target--if they are looking in her direction--and it allows her to make a quick escape.
+ Shield: Using her healing abilities, Chamila can form a shield around herself to dampen damage coming in her direction. It can only handle so much before it dissipates, leaving her vulnerable.
+ Cleanse: Chamila can cleanse most toxins and poisons and purge diseases from an ally.
Above all else, Chamila hates physical conflicts. She tries to avoid fighting whenever possible, but if necessary, she will do her best to fend of an attacker. Her abilities are mostly aimed towards healing rather than fighting, but she can still stun and blind an opponent with the aid of the Light. However, Chamila is a bit of a coward, and very timid and anxious. She would sooner run than fight. It would take certain situations to pull out that small part of her capable of bravery.
Note: Some of her healing spells do take a few seconds to cast. If someone can tackle her or physically interrupt her, that would stop the casting. The healing spells that are instant cast are weaker in comparison to the ones that take time. Lay on Hands, however, is instant cast, but once again, it requires all that she has to use it. After that, she's out for a while.
Weapons:
+ A one-handed sword, which she wears on her back.
+ A shield, which also rests on her back.
History:
Chamila was born into poverty with her brother, twin sister, and mother on a farm that was not producing enough to keep up with taxes. They eventually lost the farm and her mother became embittered by this. Whispers began to sweep through the towns. Promises of power were coming to those who were eager enough to take it, and their mother became caught up in it. She realized too little, too late that this group was a cult that practiced necromancy. In an effort to save her children, she hid them under the stairs, and told them to remain quiet. Together, Chamila and her sister, Cassandra, remained there only to venture out here and there to get food and water. They never saw their mother again. Her brother went missing as well.
The cult eventually moved on from their town, allowing the twins to escape, and by a great stroke of luck, soldiers from The Argent Crusade found them and took them to safety. Chamila went on to practice at the Cathedral of Light along with her sister, but they eventually became distant. Her sister had chosen a different path, one that she did not want to follow, and this placed a rift between them. Regardless of family drama, Chamila did her best as a squire, trying to be brave, trying to learn how to use a sword and shield, but she did not go on to become a soldier. Her skills were not on par with the rest of the squires.
Instead, Chamila pursued healing and found therapy in baking. Growing up without food led to a desire to learn more on how different spices and ingredients created something. In her spare time between lessons, she taught herself how to cook and how to bake. She still remained a very nervous, jittery individual, but these activities were therapeutic for her.
One day, while stepping through a portal to return to Stormwind, something went horribly wrong. The portal became distorted, shifted, and Chamila found herself tumbling through space instead of taking a single step through to the other side. When she emerged, she found herself in a frozen wasteland along with others.
Thus began her journey on Jenesis.
Chamila found employment in baking and healing the sick and wounded. Getting back home would take time, but perhaps, this world wouldn't be so bad...
