Overview
Kavilyn Aster Lac'nala is a Modern Drowess.
Atypical style Drow. She has given up on the traditional ways of the Drow people and even lives upon the surface. Her class is Darkane Ranger, a term combining the words Dark and Arcane. Like rangers, Kavilyn has the ability to use healing magics of light, yet specializes in Dark magics (dark energy conjuring mainly in form of orbs). Due to her abandonment of the Underdark and exposure to years of surface living, she has lost the abilities inherent to most Drow. No infra-vision no levitation, and no faerie fire, etc. Kavilyn is still able to use several forms of the Darkness ability and has learned to attune her senses to fighting blind in order to compensate for lack of drow vision. Somewhat semi-complete bio on Kavilyn and examples of her Hollow RPing can be found at the following location.

A brief history of skills and power
Combining her natural and trained Drow magics with that of her Ranger teachings and abilities, Kavilyn has harnessed enough knowledge and skill to well arm herself in battle. Turning her back on her heritages and people has caused her to constantly push forth with intense training, in order to keep on guard and be ready at all times to prove said skills in combat. Leaving the Underdark and abandoning the beliefs and life of her peoples wicked traditional ways, had many positive effects on the Modern Drowess. Still it was a negative fact that leaving the Underdark and turning away from wicked dedication, in combination with living upon the surface world, overtime had stolen away her natural and trained Drow abilities. No longer was her Darkness skill as powerful, no longer were her eyes able to shift into infra red mode allowing night visions. It was as if most of her Drowish abilities and powers had weakend, many completely gone forever, and presently unable to be used. Even the young Drowess has physical confirmation of altering epiphany, as her eyes had changed from a deep red, into an odd shade of cerulean blue. The sun's exposure clearly having a factor, but perhaps it was when Kavilyn became "enlightened" by the study of Hollow Lore that the true changes took place within her.
Kavilyn studied the Gods of the land as well as the history and philosophies of the Ascendi. The theologian Modern Drowess quested for and sought after every shrine and temple she could find. A thirsting passion for knowledge and wisdom in the mystic arcane forces driving her motivation to understand and learn of true ability. It was all she learned and was made "aware" of that has shaped her current powers and way of life. It is a true balanced and narrow path she walks between the struggle of light and dark. Though very adept, Kavilyn is just a student of her skill set and master of no particular form of training. Kavilyn has adopted the term Darkane Ranger to describe her hybrid class of abilites trained in. Mixing the light based magics of the rangers including the healing arts, with an arcane conjuring of dark matter energy, she has found ways to overcome losing her natural Drow powers. Kavilyn has gained herself a whole new spin on battle skills and style. The Modern Drowess is not as strong or as evil as most Drow. She may not have all their powers and skills, but without many strengths she has learned to adapt and use her mind. Also, although she is far weaker than most Drow, she is oddly faster than most of them. Her reflex and agility is nearly unmatched for her kind.
The skills and abilities
If it is not listed here, Kavilyn can't and won't pretend to suddenly be able to do it!
The Dark:
-Conjure darkness orbs (dark matter energy balls)
-Cast Darkness (Drow attack/defense. "blackout")
-Combine dark matter energy orbs in "crepuscular fusion" (Lethal attack. Effects compared to mini concentrated dark energy atom bomb explosion)
-Dark charged arrows (imbued arrows with energy orbs)
-Life drain (close up hands on method, anti heal skill)
These skills rely on darkness conjured through Kavilyn's inner darkness, which is nowhere near a "normal Drow". Therefore the above powers may be much weaker
than the abilities of one skilled in dark powers. Kavilyn is however able to absorb and harness energy around her to generate strength to the skills.
Therefore in certain places of Darkness, she is able to use her attacks more forcefully. (ie, Portal of Darkness, The Underdark, any evil type place of natural dark energy.)
The level will be adjusted accordingly to location!
The Light:
-Ranger skills (archery, minor tracking, forest survival. Skilled with directions and is handy with a map and compass.)
-Magic arrows (minor imbue of light blessing add a magical kick to traditional arrows)
-Arrow rain (Able to blast a volley of rapidly spreading arrows. Firing five at a time in split second repeated motions. Literally so skilled with her crossbow,
that it looks like a storm of arrows raining down a plethora of drops of pain upon opponents.)
-Healing (Though not as strong as one fully dedicated to the ways of light, Kavilyn has become fairly able to provide healing via warm blue light magic.
Much like her Life drain skill, the healing must be administered up close in a hands on manner. It requires far more concentration for her to
properly harness the ability and due to her equally dark nature, she is unable to ever fully "master" the healing arts.
