Mikage Yurei

OC

Race / Were Fang

Druid / Hunter

Ranger

Once, Mikage had spent her time away from crowded leveling areas and traveled with a guild that focused on exploration, diving into the furthest recesses of Yamato. However, after the Apocalypse, she was thrust forward, joining Silver Sword and becoming renown for her battle prowess. Mikage is a Ranger with powerful storm magics who utilizes the aid of her animal companion, a white Lynx named Rama. She travels the world along side Cyrus Frost, the alchemist who has become far more than just her partner in recent months. She is known within the Duelist League after multiple high ranking performances in tournaments. However, she doesn't seem to thrive on attention and still prefers exploration to fame. Most notably, her Were Fang form was recently revealed to be a Gargoyle. Not only that, but one that is strikingly familiar to an Angel once owned by an elusive and enigmatic Angelic Layer Deus. One who just so happened to be one of Kanto's top players.

"There is a whole world out there to see, and I intend to experience as much of it as I can." - Mikage Yurei

Other people are at various New Year events. A group of Grunty Races try to make it over the finish line in time to win their prize!

A single tone.

Duty Session 229: Karluin Reclamation - Town 2021 March 3rd
Even with the defeat of the fifth floor boss, Karluin is still a monster-infested ruin filled with precarious traps, ancient dangers and just plain old fashioned half-collapsed architecture. Though dilapidated, the goblin settlement in the area is deeply rooted and will need a good deal of effort from intrepid Adventurers to clear out... But it'll all be worth it. Once reclaimed, the fortress of Karluin will be a second or third home for Adventurers making their way up the tower. It's not like they have much choice; the way up is right smack dab in the middle of the old fort, and leaving it to rot will just make getting to the sixth floor that much more difficult.

The long task begins with exterminating monsters still lurking in the castle-town surrounding Karluin's mysterious central keep. Only then can the walls be secured and progress can begin on securing the fortress' heart.
