Biography of Surina

Elder sister to Priya, Surina has lived longer and has been through more than her younger sister can fathom. Despite their father’s passing, Surina witnessed her mother take her own life due to the grief she had felt for failing to tend her husband when he needed her most. Priya was raised to know only that her mother passed from grief in order to keep her mind unaffected by the truth and Surina was the one who implanted that lie since she knew that Priya could not handle the truth. She even doubts to this day if her sister can tolerate the knowledge without it affecting her as it had affected Surina. As the years passed, Surina focused on learning the art of combat for she wanted to avenge her father’s death and with the very weapon he used in combat as well. It was after Surina had announced that she would be joining the military that Priya decided to join her. Even though her doubts were high, Priya proved to be just as formidable as Surina—nowhere near as strong and solid in emotion, but still just as formidable. This alone gave her little faith in the lesser sibling.

Surina had enlisted the aid of General Girardot after he inquired who her father was—he asked this due to her striking similarity and as she also pointed out that Priya was her sister, the general immediately took a liking to them both. As they trained and learned from the great General Girardot, they perfected their skills. Priya with her Guan Do and Surina with not only the Bladed Lance, but also marksmanship, close-quarters combat, fencing, and Surina also began to delve into the arts of even the Samurai. All her focus was set on was ending the lives of those who were responsible for her parent’s death and with Girardot granting her and Priya the status of passing as one of his best students, her dreams of vengeance are even closer than before…

Surina looks after her younger sister with utmost care and caution. As if one were afraid to damage the delicate rose. Surina cares deeply for her younger sister and brings about no arguements, prejudice, hatred or anything of the like,

After she witnessed her parents deaths, Surina immediately told Priya that her mother died from stress and grief although Surina knew the truth. Their mother had impaled herself through the stomach after her husband perished from his wounds.

Surina also knows that their grandparents were murdered years ago yet, Priya believes that only her grandfather had passed while her grandmother moved on.

Discipline

Sojutsu and Bojutsu are her most prefered forms of combat despite having the knowledge of so much more. Surina behaves just as she does with nearly every other aspect of her life--she is cold, merciless, and delivers not a grace for recovery-- Surina prefers to remain on the offensive at all times for she believes that if her opponent is unable to plot offensively then her own offensive behaviors will ultimately shatter their hesitant defenses. If she has to defend, which she despises having to do, she will ensnare her opposition and if possible, she will throw him to the ground or remain in a defensive state for a short amount of time and then siezes the perfect opportunity to devastate her opposition. With her dual sided Bladed Lance, she is capable of attacking in succession as well as shattered most poorly made shields. Due to the blades upon each end, they are intertwined and then jut forth into a pitchfork--this has given her the name "Devil" amongst Grandallian and Dalkian Forces--she can impale with greater ease as well as puncture shields and tear them away from her enemies due to the design of these blades.

Surina can also utilize her weapon as a propeller--used to leap greater distances as well as over enemies. She is also capable of throwing objects after driving the blades of her weapon into them. Though the latter skill depends on the object, corpses are faily easy to throw at both suspecting and unsuspecting foes.

Due to bearing the knowledge of varying styles of combat, Surina is practically a living weapon with a dangerously short fuse.

Exodus

Unlike Priya's paradigm, Gungnir, Surina handpicked her subordinates prior to graduation. She was eager to have her forces established as soon as possible so that she could have the upper hand on better soldiers. After speaking with Girardot, he granted her the opportunity to do such.

Riese, Gallagher, and Raiko were placed within her unit the same day that she had requested such an advance.


Riese's Prelude Card

Riese

File:Archer Gallagher.png

Archer Gallagher

Riese was a combat specialist. She had also been older than Surina and was very skillful when it came to dual wielding weapons. Her main choice had been two long daggers, which were curved and served seperate purposes. One served as a piercing weapon while the other dealt with slashing and ripping. Riese is a remarkable archer whom is only rivaled by Raiko. All-in-all, she was the perfect choice to have yet, Surina cannot place it; she knows there is something amiss with Riese yet she knows not what. Her skill for instance and her knowledge of concealment and even raiding by nightfall were things General Girardot excelled in. For her to know these tactics and not be taught with the General also commenting on her surprising skill, it leaves Surina to wonder if Riese were once an assassin. Archer, better known as Gallagher, is a young and tall knight whom was picked due to his strength, tact, and speed. Archer is a Heavy Infantry Specialist yet he moves as if he is Light Infantry. This bewildering speed is what makes him lethal in combat. His weapon is a standard Arming Sword, a light and durable weapon despite him personally disliking it. Archer is best suited for those who are much more diffuclt for his subordinates as well as his Commander to deal with; he uses his speed, wits, and deadly strength to overwhelm his opposition.


Raiko (thumbnail)

Raisa's younger (and whorish) sister, Raiko.

Aeneas' Thumbnail

Aeneas

Raiko is a mistake which Surina wishes she could correct. After Raisa fought and defeated several higher ranking officials within the Grandallian Army, Surina looked to her to add before anyone else could. Due to her high popularity amongst Commanders all around, she sough to make her one of Exodus. Sadly she knew not of her to have an identical sister. Raiko is nothing like Raisa. Despite them being related, Raiko is more a whore than a soldier. Yet, the whore has her perks--aside from her breasts--she knows terrain, area, as well as routes and important locations as well as strongholds across Dalkia and Halteese due to her whorish nature. Despite how sickened Surina is, Raiko is able to pull her own weight. In addition to her knowledge of the enemy, she is an exceptional archer (one of the best in Parousia) and that is one thing, if not the only thing, which Surina likes about Raiko. Aeneas is the very last addition to grace Exodus. Despite his skills, he is disliked by many. His attitude is for glory and women. Throughout the war, he and Raiko are intimate. Even while Raiko pledged herself to Ky (this ultimately softens her relationship with Ky) he continued to accept her sexually. If it were not for his connections to Girardot, he never would have been placed within her unit. Especially when his teachings were incomplete. His skill with his Lance are a watered down imitation of her own with her Bladed Lance and he is incapable of even landed a blow upon Surina, whereas Archer and Riese are able to at least strike her. Raiko has refused to spar with Surina and she cares none for it.


E'laura Riga

E'laura Riga

E'laura Riga is one of education and privilage. She has spent most of her life away from Parousia yet upon her return, she has taken up the sword for unknown reasons. Skillful due to her years of training directly under Girardot in not only swordplay but also war, she has been granted an upstanding rank which rivals Girardot's due to her tactics when she led Dalkian forces against Halteese and immediately after that, she returned with casualties but no deaths. She joined Exodus for unknown reasons despite what she claims her motives are. Surina does not entirely trust her.

The Rebellion

107

Exodus as of Girardot's Rebellion

After things winded down, Surina felt calm for the time being. Though to much of her new found serenity it was short lived. Approaching the body of the Dalkian General, she knelt at his side. He had long since expired yet, it seemed as if he had still life left within him. Surina knew not where this had been coming from yet, she ignored it the best she could yet it was futile. A lone tear ran down her cheek as she stared into the lifeless eyes of Roin, her former husband.

Their marriage was nothing out of the ordinary though to her, it was special. He was a man who was true to his words and a man who protected Priya when men had attempted to take her by force. Roin held Surina's respect and also held her when she bore not even a cloth to cover her naked body. He was her first and he was the one she had loved. Though this was short lived. Roin had begun to drink aftr his father passed and this was due to the battle with Halteesean forces. As he continued to slip further into his depression, he eventually became abusive, though even while married to him, she would not take such treatment. Surina slashed his chest with a knife. It was that moment when he chose to leave her and it had been months after he had returned to Dalkia only for her to hear of the king suddenly passing. She thought it odd and looked into the matter to see that Roin had now taken Aurelia as his bride. Although the people believed Roin's lies that the Queen had not a shred of involvement in the King's death, she knew better. Though she would forget the past and focus on the present. Surina suspects Gallagher to bear some form of attraction to her yet she is not sure. as her new second in command, she keeps a close eye on the man for she does not trust him.

After the Grandallian Forces took their leave Surina was the only one to return. With the very dress she wore on the day they were wed, her hair, down and uncharacteristically elegant, she left roses of the purest white upon his grave and with him, she left her love and her heart. Though with her, she would always keep the golden cross he had given her as a symbol of their love.

One year had now gone by and Surina has changed little. Her attitude towards Ky has been the same yet with his current demeanor, his broken demeanor, she has left him alone though she would later learn what has occurred to change his being as so. During the year of relative peace, Surina has witnessed the heightened guard around the city as well as within the castle. As she will soon learn that her former teacher has begun his rebellion against the country which he had protected for so many years. It made not much sense to her though she had little choice in the matter. As she received her orders, Surina made her way to the ghost town which served as the gateway to the Rebels main stronghold. She had arrived two days before she was needed to in order to scout the area.

Little trouble had been crossed and she mainly stayed within the shadows as she observed and took notes of the enemy and as the second sun began to rise for the second day she had all she needed.

As the other Commanders and soldiers arrived she had been more than welcoming to Raina whom had been promoted to a Lieutenant. Raina was a fair and just woman and Surina could see that she has faced hardships--much more severe than her own. As the two caught up on old times and what would be expected of them she was told that Ky had been promoted to a Sergeant. It shocked her that a novice would be boosted that far in rank though Girardot mostly had something to do with it. Surina also learned that he had been transferred to another unit. That unit in question had been Dawn. Surina knew little of the unit yet, she knew that it was a well-trained and well-respected one. In addition to that, Dawn, the commander of the unit of the same name, outranked Surina as well as Priya.

As familiar faces and armor crossed her path, she was met by Abelia and the rest of her unit Valor. Tina, Lucca, and Yuilin yet, Notus was not present. He had been transferred into another unit and Abelia could not keep him as she would have liked. As things were discussed and Surina giving strategies Archer had arrived. His armor, gleaming and his sword, the zweihander, as proud as ever. His entire set had the motif of a warthog. Spiked spaulders, gauntlets, and greaves yet it was rather hilarious that they both had the same brand of gauntlets. The difference, his were red and gilded while hers were black and gilded.

That very night when Surina was on guard, she located Rebels scouting the area. After alerting her allies the unit, functioning as a platoon, set forth and followed them. Upon trailing them they were led to an even larger group of Rebellious Forces and as Grandallian Troops concealed themselves with the darkness of the night, they learned of the prisoners which were held and although they were not known by exact location they were within the vicinity. Things would have gone smoothly if Felix, another commander of Grandall had not stared in their direction and attempting to make conversation through mouthing. He was killed before the unit and with the unit now discovered, an all out battle had begun.

Surina was as tactful as ever and she admired Priya's skill as she easily defeated soldier after soldier. It was not long before the Rebels which had challenged them were slain. As the next coming night set upon them the force was alerted by a lone gunshot within the night and few recognized just whom it had been. After Rebels stood to oppose them and blood was shed, Kusanagi and Dawn were located and joined the units. Shortly after this "bright and happy" reunion, Priya and Surina were targeted for assassination by the Rebels. Within his injured state, Kusanagi alone slew most of the force and with this feat for him, Surina approached him after Ignis had been killed.

She shared a conversation with him which she shan't forget. Surina despised Ky because he reminded her of Roin. That same kind of smile, heartwarming attitude was what made Surina fall in love with Roin yet, when Ky brought about this same demeanor after she and Roin were no longer together, she hated him for reminding her of him. Though now, his smaile was erased. Begotten by the ages. As they spoke, Surina hinted that he should not give up on love because love may possibly not give up on him--attempting to clue him in that he was well liked by someone, however, he showed no interest in it.

After things settled down, Annebella as well as E'laura, suggested a change. This came to who was acting with who due to the additional forces which were added. It was meant as an idea yet several soldiers wanted to see what would become of such a choice.

Gallagher is appointed as her second in command during this period due to the fact that E'laura is no longer within her unit. She has chosen to assist Relic which bothers her none. E'laura was a decent swordswoman, though her advice and orders annoys Surina at times. Gallagher has spent most of his time training as a Tracker so that he could aid in pursuing Rebels. Of course, his training was originally for prisoners whom had escaped as well as animals for hunting but now, he would hunt those whom he once spoke to as allies. Surina understand the man and respects his advice as well as his knowledge. What she dislikes is the fact that he speaks of Priya far too often and even uses her as a shield to cease Surina from taking the more bolder of actions.

Living Family Members Priya is her younger sister.
Deceased Family Members Their mother committed suicide for not being able to tend to her husband's wounds. Ultimately believing his death was her own fault.

Her father, died from injuries which he received from battle. Her grandparents died from natural causes.

Alignment as of Act: I Grandallian

Their father (Surina and Priya's) was born in Spain and thus, grew up there and migrated towards Parousia only after he was unsuccessful in finding opportunities to provide for himself. A young Sergio Delgado made his way into the Parousian military at the tender age of eighteen and by the age of twenty-seven, he was a commander. He suffered discrimination due to his ethnicity as well as his physical features; this is why he was promoted so late. He married a beautiful European woman named Belle who gave him two daughters. They were born a year, four months, and fourteen days apart. As the years passed, he would teach a young Surina the ways of combat while Priya watched. They were both exposed to a militaristic lifestyle from birth and have yet to regret it.

Surina holds the eyes of her mother while bearing the complexion of her father. These are common features which she shares with her younger sister Priya.

Surina is Priya Delgado's elder sister and she is the last member of her family which is living. She shelters Priya from certain things because she does not know how she will react to them--a perfect example of this is the fact of how their mother died.

She dislikes smoking and drinking no matter the celebration.

Surina is the Commanding Officer of the militarized unit Exodus

Raisa was to be in her unit however, it was Surina's mistakes for confusing Raiko with Raisa and Annebella has yet to allow her to live down that mistake.

Surina dislikes Ky. No matter how much an understatement that is, it is nonetheless true.

After the Welshdat Bridge was destroyed, Surina confronted her former husband, Roin and engaged him in combat after succumbing to the memories of him abandoning her and the fact that he no longer desires her as she secretly still longs for him.

Surina is a friend to Abelia although Priya keeps a slight distance from her. This is due to Abelia's bitterness towards her defeat at Raisa's hands.

No matter how much Raiko screws up, she is still a part of Exodus and she has earned her keep--despite how many men Raiko has slept/sleeps with--Surina holds the little tolerance and slowly dying respect for her the best she can.

Surina thinks it a waste of time to read of things of false hope such as Gods/Goddesses/Deities and things of the like.

Instead of reading or passing the time with something else, she trains. She believes that you can never master anything until you have learned everything there is to learn about it and no matter how she trains she knows there's more to learn.

Surina was once married, however; the man left her for another woman. This is a large reason why she sees eye to eye with no man. Truth be told, she despises Ky because he acts the exact same way Roin used to before his father's death.

Sub Chapter

As the events of the Celebration are taking place, Surina visits the ruins of Revless, Dalkia. There are few whom still live amongst the ruins and they give not a shred of a threat to Surina for they know that Aurelia is the cause of this outcome. That, and the fact that it is known that Roin had betrayed Surina; which most pitied her for she deserved no such treatment.

Visiting her former husband's grave, she wore the very same dress which she wore when they were wed--this had also been the same dress which was quickly stripped to reveal her bare body as the two ravaged each other in their fierce lovemaking.

Despite her anger, she sheds tears for the fact that now, there was not a way to know if he ever did truly love her or if he would have ever reconciled for the live she carries for him is one that shall never die.

Her father, died from injuries which he received from battle. Her grandparents died from natural causes.

Alignment as of Act: II Grandallian

Was easily defeated by Guilt, after mistaking her of Girardot's horde. This has ultimately scarred her own determination as well as her pride as her own kin was within her protection and if her kin truly were the target, she would have failed in protecting her only sister.

Is sympathetic and even kind to Ky due to how he has been treated by a Raiko.

Joined Arthias after rescuing Aliyah.

Despite not being the one to kill Strife, Kuro lies to those of Parousia claiming that she achieved such a feat--a blessing while she despises this for he and his elder brother, Volkov, were the ones to do such.

Has cut her hair, showing she carries the burden of her failed marriage no longer.

Act: II Relationships

Dawn Larrieux
Dawn Larrieux (unmasked)

Dawn is a woman who commands respect as she is the only woman whom is, by rank, one to command a Special Tactics Squadron. Surina had longed to control a sqadron of this form but lacks the prowess to do so. Dawn had even bested her in combat even as Surina was paired with Priya. Alas, when the squadron, Dawn was rumored to have been dismantled, Surina was the first to propose a search and rescue operation. She respects dawn like no other and hopes that she is still ailve.

Annebella is a pain in Surina's ass. From ridiculing her efforts to outright dismissing her ideas as well as rank. Despite the two being friendly little over a year ago, now, it is almost as if they were Grandall and Dalkia facing off against each other afield with naught else but words. Surina dislikes the feeling of being belittled, especially by one whom is to be her friend--yet, what she does not realize is that Annebella is trying to suppress Surina's urge to constantly shatter and destroy.

Annebella Williams
Annebella's Prologue Card
Kusanagi Ky
Sergeant Kusanagi Ky

The dislike which she had once harbored for him is no longer present. After being found by Aliyah and Raisa, his attitude is vastly different. Yet, Surina knows it be due to how Raiko betrayed him, however, he seems a completely different person. His mindset is geared towards aggression and even his style of combat and speech have changed. He no longer fears others and outright challenges anything which he believes is foolish. Most notable, Surina struck him across the face (armored at that) and as she expected him to back down and cower, he merely laughed and deemed her strike "that of a girl". Blood flying from his mouth with each letter of each word, his laughter was what caught her attention more than anything.

Raisa is respected and even trusted. Ever since she saved Priya, Surina has placed trust within the Russian. She may not like her as a person or for her thoughts or even at all, but Raisa has proven beyond all measure that she can be trusted.

Raisa Zhirova
Raina (thumbnail)
Gallagher


Archer during the Rebellion

Gallagher is now her second in command. After E'laura declined the request, there was no other choice. He's of sound thought and logical at that. Yet, she's also bothered due to the amount of time that he spends with her younger sister, Priya. This is another reason why he is her second, so that she can keep a close eye on him and how much time he is with Priya.

Surina has long since suspected that something is amiss with Riese. From her artistry of preemptive killing to her manipulation of the eye. Surina believed her to be a thief, yet, she believes she has found conclusive evidence that Riese was once an assassin. She knows not if she be from Halteese or even Maletta (possibly some foreign nation) but having one of her caliber is both a blessing and a curse.

Riese
Riese's Prelude Card
The Highwayman
42

Nicholas is a man whom Surina does not trust. Unlike Priya, Surina has kept her ears tuned to most criminal activity and once Surina realized who it was that walked alongside Gungnir, her hatred intensified while her distrust was even greater than that. The eldest Delgado had even plotting his assassination...but seeing how close he had gotten to his new paradigm, the plot could never have been carried out. To this day, she does not trust him as far as she can throw his decapitated head.

E'laura is a woman of few words yet fine tastes. She is artistic. Not only in paint, but also in combat. Her evasion and counterattacks are the stuff of legion--at least to him. She easily swayed low, under his blade and brought the spar to a quick end. It is due to their matches that Gallagher has learned to improve his own agility in attacks as well as form and function.

Aliyah Ruel 
Aliyah Ruel Halteese (Act II thumbnail)

Aliyah looks up to Surina almost as if she were her sister. It's odd to have one you barely know look up to you so. She finds nothing wrong with the Halteesean and actually enjoys her company, yet, Surina wonders, out of all people, why choose her?

Abelia and Surina see eye to eye and understand each other through this conflict against the Rebels. However, neither of them are prepared for what must be done when Girardot is found. Surina tells her to stay strong yet, in a way, she telling herself that more than anything.

Abelia

Guilt
Maria (thumbnail)

While separated ruing their own Rebellion, Priya was gravely injured and Surina was tending to her sister's wounds. Of all the luck, they were discovered by knights of the Empire. Their pale flesh and blackened eyes clear to Surina and it was Surina whom had fended few of them off while the others slowly began to overwhelm her.

With Guilt's appearance, Surina was able to survive but only due to Guilt arriving. However; Guilt then turned her blade upon Surina who in turn, faced the strange woman. needless to say, Surina was bested--yet spared. Guilt's reasoning for this was:

"It's better for you to live with knowing that I can kill you whenever I please...but it's even more damning knowing that you can't do a thing to stop me from killing you, or that one who you're failing to protect!"
