Tyris Flare model specific work log. Tyris is a primary player character and so requires a large variety of accessible technique.

Tyris will focus on magic and combining environmental use with advanced attack technique and magic. To place a somewhat more realistic and less cliched’ viewpoint on video game gender, she will not be “weak but quick”, and instead be inferior in all physical aspects (i.e. speed, constitution, strength and reach). But like any clever woman, Tyris has found ways to more than make up for these shortcomings. Advanced players will be able to segue graceful movement, sometimes using walls, allies and even opponents for footing to attack from all angles. This combined correctly with her superior magic abilities and reversal techniques can make Tyris virtually untouchable.
