====== Corin Gauss - DEAD ====== Player: Ellie W\\ Email: \\ You may have met her before, seen her passing on the road or perhaps she helped you once when you needed it. You've almost certainly heard of her. The old doctor who wanders between Emperors Drop and the Brink looking for the sick, the injured, those in distress and then doing what she can to help them whoever they may be. She doesn't ask for anything in return, but smiles happily if you do press a coin or a loaf of bread into her hand as she leaves. Corin is **Famed** for her charitable work as a healer. === Legacy === Corin the healer helped a great many people. It defined her. She never refused any who asked for her aid, she did everything she could, even until the very end. It was, in her view, the only way to atone for her past, for siding with the sorcerers at the beginning of the end of the world - she could never bring herself to hate them and was instead just filled with a deep sadness and guilt. Helping the world was her way of trying to make up for it. Corin the woman, at the end, was defined by the men in her life. Micah Germanicus - the Arch-heretic - her lover and the father of her child. For thirty years she thought him dead. By the time she knew differently and had found him again, she had but hours with him before he was snatched from her and swallowed by the void. She had always loved him, could never bring herself to blame him and missed him terribly. This time at least she got to say goodbye. Michael Gauss - Her son lost to her for 30 years, stolen by the church and only recovered at the fall of the Hallowed Citadel. She only had two weeks with him but in those two weeks she was complete. Phael Toron - Her closest friend and perhaps more had her life not been so cruelly cut short. He gave her a place to belong, treated her better than she deserved and together they were perhaps both a little bit happier and a little less lonely. The Servant of the Most High - She called him friend and trusted him. Saved his life and treated his wounds. He still killed her. Yet even at the end she felt more surprised than betrayed. Perhaps the greatest irony was that for all the hope she gave others, she didn't believe any of it and kept none for herself. {{tag>eternity}} {{tag>bio}}
