Corrin Anna Rose Morgan

We have a saying back in Gaelia, "Some run and hide, pitying and wailing for themselves, Others with grim fatalism say, 'Death or Glory' but evil, terror and darkness rout upon hearing the triumphant shout, 'Victoria et Gloria!'- ...Victory AND Glory!"

"However history remembers me, it shall only remember a fraction of the truth."

--Corrin A. R. Morgan

Backstory

Born in 1870 to a peasant family, Corrin grew up in a loving home and had a relatively normal childhood in the nordic island country of Gaelia or East Gaelia, that was until she was Five years old. Her father was a huntsman, her mother an apothecary, a detective uncle, a brewer aunt, and her grandparents, a pastor and his wife. Considered by some as a tomboy, Corrin would often play with her brother's friends and her sister's friends. Her family was driven into poverty when she was five then they slowly got back on their feet over ten years although they weren’t as well off as they once were.

Once the proud owners of a house and some land, but they were kicked out, as her family's secretive past came to light and a group of vampires, werebeasts and wizards hunted them across Gaelia. Blissfully unaware of her family's past, Young Corrin lived in the woods and later with a Romani caravan for a while, where her father and uncle continued to teach her horsemanship and observation/deduction skills. It was here she made a group of friends, who would be her partners in crime. As she grew, she was separated from her family, nearly dying several times from starvation and the cold whilst searching for them. Eventually she found her mother and father, and they had slowly nursed her back to health with the help of the Bogdan family who lead the Romani caravan. Slowly but surely, Corrin's family had scraped together enough money to buy a small, cramped townhouse-shop and opened an apothecary shop.

For a while, Corrin lived in relative peace, however she would see and hear strange and certainly unnerving things whilst she was out and about. She'd hear suspicious whispers of dark creatures and overhear her family talking in hushed tones about fighting, hunting them. Perhaps more unnerving, Corrin would even see unexplainable and frightening sights. Slowly she began to piece together a scary theory about her family.

During a visit to a secondhand shop when she was 16, Corrin had unknowingly discovered a gold pocket watch, the pocket watch of a monster hunter, which imbued her with time manipulation powers, much to her chagrin and fear. On her way home, she and a friend were attacked by a vampiric murderer; using her newfound power, she outsmarted and killed him, just barely. Later, she had a realization, when she listened to a certain bible verse, Esther 4:14, and had an epiphany. Out of all the coincidences, she somehow got these powers and had learnt of her family’s secret unbeknownst to them. Perhaps she was meant to find the watch and use time manipulation to help others. Perhaps so.

Over the years, Corrin slowly trained herself to use the time manipulation power, saving people from other dangerous situations or deadly incidents. And investigate why she and family were being targeted and why there was so many monster sightings and attacks. It was also here she learnt the deadly art of saber fencing, thanks to her friend, Henri.

In the year 1891, War between the Empires erupted against Gaelia and all convened upon “the Gate to the Northern Sea”. She joined as a nurse, then a field medic rescuing countless soldiers and civilians from the maw of battle, often utilizing her time manipulation to save countless lives. Until one day, she saved the life of a major and a general unbeknownst to her and led their company of lancers to rescue several other companies of dragoons, artillerymen and fusiliers, allowing for reinforcements to bolster their ranks and thus allowing for a successful counterattack and eventually victory.

For her outstanding deeds, the young woman had suddenly risen up the ranks, plucked from the nurse and medic corps to serve amongst the officers of the cavalry at the behest of the Major and General. At first, she wasn’t respected being seen as a lowly foot soldier who licked some high-ranking officer’s boot, undeserving and unproven of her title. However, over the course of the year, Corrin slowly won over the respect and trust of her troopers and fellow officers.

For nearly two years, Corrin had served as a Lieutenant within the 9th Lancers/Uhlans Regiment, bravely facing the darkness, horrors and tragedies of the Imperial-Gaelian war. Slowly but surely more and more sightings of and encounters with monsters and wizards and witches grew more common until all Corrin could hear and think of was the war and monster-hunting.

And then one foggy morning, she had suddenly found herself spirited away to a strange world, surrounded by even stranger folk. She found herself in a medieval-like kingdom, a land inhabited by beast-folk and humans alike. This was her first encounter with friendly magical/fantastical folk. She regarded nearly everything with fear and curiosity, until Corrin was taken by a kind-hearted man, who would introduce her to the people she would call her friends and eventually, family. But even so, it took her a while to get used to all the magic and strange folk.

Eventually, Corrin had joined a band of adventurers, mercenaries and misfits called the Renegades, a motley crue of beast-folks and fantastical beings, almost all of whom like her, hailed from other worlds. Here she became the Renegades’ third and, for a great long while, it’s only human member. Corrin and fellow adventurers would fight cyborg death cultists, aliens, so-called 'gods' and eldritch beings. Several months later, even after going on many adventures and growing close to her fellow adventurers, her mind still turned to home.

One day, she had gotten word that the kingdom she was in was hosting an inter-universal tournament. The prize? Any wish shall be granted to the victor, anything they desire. Her thoughts once again turn to home, to Gaelia. Perhaps a chance to save Gaelia from defeat, from destruction. To save her family, her friends, her comrades from death… well what was left of them. However, that tournament was well under way, but through the grapevine, Corrin had heard of another tournament with the same prize, a wish.

But it was being held in the kingdom’s underground black market, it was a tournament for the most cunning, cruel and ruthless, fighting to death. Eventually she decided to fight for the wish if it meant her country and loved ones got to live, free and safe. If there was one fighter there that was fighting for something other than their selfish desires it was her, better a soldier than a criminal or sadist get their hands on an all-granting wish.

During the tournament, she fought a wannabe hero, and killed tyrannical pyrokinetic princess and nearly died in the process. She made her escape through what she thought was a portal back up to the surface, back to her found family but was actually a portal to a dangerous and dying world.

Once again Corrin had joined a tournament or a so-called 'experiment', overseen by a mysterious Lady, of warriors, mercenaries and fighters to fight once again for a wish and the chance to not die horribly to the inky black mass of sentient liquid that had consumed most of the planet. Alas, Corrin had nearly died again trying to save a fellow competitor from the clutches of a monster, nearly meeting her fate from using all of her time manipulation powers to save him. As the world began to fall, Corrin and Citron made their escape via a portal, hoping it was the last portal back to the first world she was spirited away to, back to her found family but instead it brought her to yet another world.

This world though young and brand new, was war-torn and once again, Corrin found herself alone and without a way home. For several months, Corrin survived by selling her services as a bounty hunter and monster hunter. Here she began to hone her time manipulation, learning how to control it and enlengthening how long she could manipulate time. But she still couldn't control it for very long. By the grace of God, Corrin was brought back to her found family and currently now resides. That is until one day, a certain fox arrived with an invitation and brought with it the memories of Gaelia.

Personality

Corrin, upon first glance, is an introverted, if somewhat, shy woman; she may even appear cold and aloof, appearing like an isolated, cold lone wolf. However, beneath this first impression of her, lies a deeply caring and sensitive woman, acutely perceptive to other people and their needs. Once you've won her trust, she'll wear heart on her sleeve as much as an introvert can and you've gained a loyal, compassionate, witty and pragmatic friend. Eager to see and learn, Corrin takes a reserved but inquisitive look at newly met people or places. While Corrin may be idealistic, she does not see the world through rose-colored glasses.

Instead, Corrin sees the world in an optimistic but honest manner. She can become deeply discouraged, or even depressed, by the harsh realities of the present but Corrin is Persistent and Motivated to take action nevertheless, even if it means doing so at a high cost to herself.

Whether it be when she is friendly or aloof, Corrin’s snarky and witty remarks can set people at ease and laugh with a teasing yet pleasant joke or annoy and fluster those whom she deems worthy of that caustic bite. Corrin can be cheeky and impish in her love at times, often pulling pranks and teasing those she loves dearly, often she’ll love them even more if they can prank her back.

Abilities

Time Manipulation

For brief periods of time, Corrin can speed up, stop or slow down time. And for a huge chunk of stamina and health, she can either rewind time itself or see multiple futures. She uses this power offensively by either slowing time to “speed” up her attacks and feints or stopping time and getting in those much-needed hits. Defensively, she uses this power to dodge or escape. Slowing time down or stopping it whilst attacking multiplies the momentum and inertia and therefore power and speed of her attacks. Depending on the weapon and whether she is on horseback or foot, at speed or standing still, it will either double, triple or even quadruple the damage of her attacks. Whenever she uses her abilities, her eyes, particularly her irises, glows a brilliant shade of emerald green. Opponents may notice before or after she uses her time manipulation, that her eyes either begins glow or rapidly dims.

Quite often, she uses this ability in short bursts in order to not telegraph that she has said abilities and also because it requires a lot of stamina and energy to perform. In order to keep this power of Her's a secret and keep her enemies guessing, Corrin will slow time enough to adjust her hits, stabs, feints and dodges. To everyone else it'll appear as though she has impossibly fast reflexes but of course only Corrin knows. Doing this light "braking" will cost her very little energy or stamina and she can do this countless times. To further not telegraph her ability, Corrin will wear an enchanted pair of round glasses that hides the glow of her eyes. However, if her true ability was revealed/figured out by her opponent or they think they know her power (i.e. they think she's a speedster or teleporter), then she will fully and openly use her powers.

However, she can only use her power for VERY brief amounts of time (3-5 seconds without the pocket watch, 6-8 seconds with the watch). Any more than the five or eight seconds in the time stop, Corrin will be risking injury and likely death. Slowing down time is not as tiring as stopping time outright, creating a time loop or seeing into multiple futures and can be performed many more times than a time stop (e.g., one time stop is equivalent to slowing time thirty times hence four bursts a day).

During these manipulations of time, Corrin can move around and interact with people and objects. But she can only do so to an extent as people and objects are practically heavy, unconscious statues. Only the things/people that she is touching and on her person are not heavy. They are aware of and can move within the time manipulation as long as she keeps her hand on them. But Corrin must be the one to hold on to them or they'll freeze or slow down in time.

Those who are taken by Corrin into a time manipulation will hear upon her using her power, a loud single peal of a deep-tone bell followed by the sound of a reverberating and simultaneous ticking of a clock and the beating of a heart. When she has stopped using her power, they will hear the bell 'unringing' itself and the sounds of the world will quickly speed back up to normal. Those who are masters of magic and/or very spiritually sensitive may notice the ringing of the bell and faintly hear the simultaneous ticking-heartbeat before and after Corrin uses her ability. To those in the manipulation, if Corrin has only slowed time, the world will be nearly silent and nearly imperceptible still in motion. However, in a time stop, the world will completely fall silent save for the ticking of time and Corrin's heartbeat, and the world rapidly darkens as light photons freeze in place unless one moves around.

Special Abilities of Time Manipulation
Shadows of the Past Light: Afterimages of Corrin and Citron, usually combined with Whispers of Moments Gone (listed below), it can be used to fool enemies into fighting or following a fleeting image. She often uses SotPL to take the hit for her or distract her opponents. The afterimages will appear solid until hit or dissipates. When not combined with WoMG it appears as though Corrin and Citron are moving silently. This ability can be performed many times with little impact on her stamina. Near Unlimited Uses.

Whispers of Moments Gone: Essentially is the delayed sound(s) of Corrin and Citron, this ability fools opponents with delayed sounds, (i.e. the sound Her and Citron charging, faking the sound of her wounded behind cover). Often paired with SotPL listed above, Whispers of Moments Gone is when Corrin, at will, delays the sounds of herself and whoever she brings into the time manipulation by a few seconds. It certainly requires more effort to perform this ability than Shadows of the Past Light as she is quite literally breaking the laws of physics to delay sound itself. Multiple Uses.

Khronos' Deja Vu: Easily the second hardest thing for Corrin to perform, Khronos' Deja Vu either traps opponents in a Time Loop where they relive the same 3 seconds on repeat until she gets an upper hand over them, or she escapes the opponent's attack. That being said, it is very hard for to perform this ability as it requires a great deal of stamina and strength. If she does KDV for too long, more than 3 times or 9 seconds, she grows weak and sickly, and her usage of her time manipulation becomes limited. Very Limited Uses.

Kairos' Deja Reve aka Weaving of Kairos’ Threads: Undoubtedly this is the hardest and most dangerous ability to perform, Kairos' Deja Reve or Weaving of Kairos' Threads enables Corrin to see thirty seconds to a minute into the future or more accurately, futures to determine which steps allow her to win. Whilst very powerful and certainly borderline cheating as far the tournament is concerned, Corrin is extremely reluctant to use this ability as she can't see what steps it'll take to get the best outcome, she CAN see what MIGHT lead to the best outcome but is left to the mercy of time to figure it out. Using this ability renders her greatly weakened and very sickly after use, often making her violently cough up blood and leaving her disorientedly nauseated. She must be careful and very selective on how she uses her time manipulation from here on out as she has a very limited number of stamina left to use if she has any left at all. Depending on if she used KDV or used up most of her stamina beforehand, she may even pass out from the sheer amount of exhaustion, and she'll take one to two days to recover. One Time Use for the Entire Tournament.

After Corrin performs any these abilities for an extended period of time, she’ll grow tired as her stamina and energy take a big hit and she’ll require a quick nap or a big hearty meal to recover… After the fight that is!

Devotion

Raised by a family of devout Lutherans, Corrin’s faith and devotion have seen her through thick and thin, being a woman of faith in a time of great and terrible crisis. In her sojourns across countless worlds, Corrin has come to appreciate her faith more as it has protected her, her first family and her newfound family from countless terrors and mysterious eldritch beings scattered across the weave of existence itself. This trait of Her’s protected her mind and soul from inhuman and otherworldly attacks on her, giving her an edge over more esoteric, spiritual and/or mind-bending opponents. In the case of magical/spiritual/illusionary attacks, Corrin’s devotion gives her a robustly strong resistance to both types of attacks. Her faith, if strong enough, can amplify holy damage she deals out with her lance and saber. Corrin’s devotion can not only be a great sword but also be a great shield and robust breastplate.

For example, if a fireball were cast at her, Corrin wouldn’t catch on fire nor feel burned, but she would feel the knockback of it, although not as strongly as it would've been. However, her faith can waiver and thus lower her ability to resist said attacks though not completely. If Corrin’s emotions get the better of her during a fight and/or if she is overwhelmed by fear, unjustified anger or just plain hatred, it’ll lower her faith greatly thus her resistance. If the fireball was yet again cast at her and Corrin has little faith, she’ll feel the intense searing pain, become incapacitated for a while and be knocked back hard but she wouldn’t catch fire. That being said she’s not completely immune to said attacks, as she is a normal, fallible person not a saint.

Expert Cavalryman and Master Swordsmanship- Lancer and Mounted Grenadier

Despite her being the army for a short period of time, Corrin is an expert, if not, a master of mounted combat. Since she was young girl, Corrin learned to ride and fight from horseback, playing then training with a wooden saber from her friend, broken guns her uncle provided, and finally her father's hunting spear in place of the lance. Following the outbreak of war, Corrin's mounted combat skills were further refined and honed into the expert lancer she is today.

Polish Uhlan Lance and Saber: This is how most, if not almost all, shall see Corrin’s fighting skills as and they’re not completely wrong as a majority of the time Corrin and Citron shall fight with this style. Compared to other lancer tactics and fighting styles, which are relatively simplistic point and parry systems, the Polish uhlan fighting styles are more complicated, involving slashing, moulinets, and lunges with the lance and as a result a more ferocious cavalryman. She does this to conserve what stamina/strength she has for Time Manipulation, and to not telegraph to her opponents that she has time manipulation powers and thus gain an edge over her, but it's mostly done because this is what she feels the most comfortable doing. Carrying into battle, she has specially crafted lance tips from her adventurer/monster hunting days that can change the effect and damage of an attack with her lance. These tips fit around the point and closest blade edges to the lance tip. These are made with elemental crystals and gunpowder that upon contact with an opponent, ignites and triggers the elemental crystals properties, creating various different attack effects.

Mounted Grenadier: Despite being a Lancer formerly in a lancer regiment, Corrin carries grenades. Thanks to the marriage of a mounted grenadier regiment and a famous uhlan regiment, Corrin’s regiment carried grenades and was taught grenadier tactics. As a result, she carries six grenades in the saddle and two on her person, eight in total. These are powerful grenades that can easily blow apart lightly armored tanks and vehicles (if they existed in her time) and can easily blast away cover (trees, small boulders, walls etc.) for opponents and the opponents themselves. Like the lance, Corrin carries elemental dust that changes the effect and damage of the grenade's attack. Although, she does not carry specially made tips for the grenades and the tips she does carry are not to varied to the same degree as the lance.

Master Swordmanship:

Decent Marksmanship:

Good Horsemanship:

Strengths

Observation and Deductions: Corrin has always been a bit of an observant person, often taking note of physical characteristics, mannerisms and subtle traits/actions/details that people often miss. Her observational tendencies stem from her introverted, somewhat shy personality and teachings from her detective uncle and huntsman father. But of course, it comes at cost, that being it makes her come across to others as either a loner, slow-minded, or overly-analytical. This greatly aids her in everyday life and combat. As Corrin is a bit of a glass cannon herself, she is quick to identify strengths and weaknesses to her advantage or offer a peaceful way to diffuse the situation. She does some light deduction as well but does not rely on it preferring to build a solid foundation of evidence.

Swordsmanship AKA Saber Sword Master: Corrin’s forte lies with sword fencing as she knows, to various degrees of mastery, 4 different sword fighting styles ranging from the Rapier and Dagger (novice level), Smallsword/Spadroon (slightly better than novice level), the Cutlass (moderately good, cutlasses being similar to sabers), and finally the Saber. Corrin’s forte lies particularly with Polish Saber fencing. She’s wickedly fast with the saber, employing Polish Saber fencing to the fullest with its fast, flowing attacks. This style of saber fencing is devastating against cutlasses, smallswords and Messer swords. It also can be challenging for longswords, rapiers and other saber fencing styles to effectively combat against it. This strength is greatly aided (and could possibly be hindered) by her reflexes and the occasional use of her time manipulation, making the flurry of precise attacks all the harder to fight against.
