What about Antonia?

[Bumbleb]

<div>We have a history of Lucan going around what about Antonia? whats her story?</div>

[Rabid-Othmir]

Upper-class [Removed for Content] born into royalty as I understand it.<div></div>

[backya]

<div></div><div>the soe profile has everything you really need to know, she as new as we are, the old antonia family was killed in the shattering and she took charge. nothing more i guess. Lucan is 500+ years old, thats the differance.</div>

[Cusashorn]

<div>She's 18 years old and she's technically a Half Elf, but only 1/28th, so she looks completely human and acknowledges herself as one.</div>

[Rabid-Othmir]

Actually she is in her late 20s, not 18.<div></div>

[Cusashorn]

<div>Really? I thought it said 18. oh.</div>

[schrammy]

<div></div><p>AND she looks hot LOL</p><p>seriously tho, that girl who won the AB elections was a real beauty</p>

<div></div>Well...doesn't rightly matter...and I did not give my permission to be talking about my future ex-wife, so...this thread is now dead! :smileymad::smileyvery-happy:

[Vaulkh]

Leadership? More likely everyone was too busy staring...'yes dear, whatever you say *tails off into drooling*'. Add a bit of talent with magic (but please note that she needs a wand of sorts to focus her spells, which neither Lucan nor the DE lady are hampered by) some extremely powerful and capable underlings and a bit of careful historical revision and bingo, there you have Antonica the great leader.As for 1/28th half elf....well, parents are 1/2, grandparents 1/4, great-gps 1/8th, g-g-gps 1/16th,etc...so unless there's something very screwy going on with the genetics, let's just say you have to start going back a lot of generations to even approximate 1/28th half-elf.<div></div>

[Cusashorn]

<div>Its only appropriate though, since this is a time of crisis for a leader, and Qeynos has never really had a female ruler before. Nothing outside of what you Developers know (that us players do not) anyway...</div>
