Hi All,
So heres my Artifact User.
Name: Salmacis
Race: Water Nymph
Class: Invoker
Weapon: Spear
Energy Type: Water/Ice
Gender: Female
Backstory:
"There dwelt a Nymph, not up for hunting or archery:
unfit for footraces. She the only Naiad (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naiad) not in Diana’s band.
Often her sisters would say: “Pick up a javelin, or
bristling quiver, and interrupt your leisure for the chase!”
But she would not pick up a javelin or arrows,
nor trade leisure for the chase.
Instead she would bathe her beautiful limbs and tend to her hair, with her
waters as a mirror."
Ovid (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ovid), Metamorphoses (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metamorphoses_%28poem%29). Book IV, 306-312.
The end of days before the last stand against the machines was hard on the nymphs. Salmacis and a few others are all that remain of the water nymphs. She wasn't of much use back then but she has had 1000 years to correct that and this resurgence of mechanical creatures has given her ample opportunity to avenge her sisters.
Best of luck to everyone,
~M
