Apan

Apan is one of The Heroes. She is a member of the Asva tribe, and hails from the far north of Mount Morta and has journeyed south to join the Children of Morta on their quest. She arrived in a mechanical flying dragon kite, which broke short after her landed in the Bergson's house.

Apan was designed by two Kickstarter backers, AgaRar and GlueBubble.

Codex
Among the Asva, she is known as "Clan Mother". She was barely out of childhood when her talent for healing started to show. As a youth, she would participate in her tribe's battles to treat and nurse the soldiers, but wasn't above picking up a weapon and fight when it was called for.

In one of those wars, she nursed to health a young warrior named Dhal, the son of their tribe chief, from critical wounds. They started courting and got married on the midsummer day, under the lucky shade of willows. As a gift, on their marriage day, Dhal gave Apan a magical dragon-shaped flying kite, upon which she could ride over the entire lands of the north in a day and a night.

Years later, when she spied the amassed pitch-black clouds in the distant south, she decided that she was needed in the midlands, and arrived to give aid to the Bergsons against the Corruption.

Personality
Apan is a wise and exotic woman who imparts her knowledge to the Bergsons. She spends most of her time meditating outside or training. Mark was specially intrigued by her as her lifestyle and idealogies greatly resembled those of the monks he trained with.

Gameplay
Apan is a mid-ranged fighter that excels at crowd control. She truly shines on co-op thanks to defensive abilities that affect other characters, as well being to cripple her enemies with various movement speed debuffs.

Strengths

 * Primary Attacks cover a wide arc in front of her in addition to launching waves of energy for extra range, making her quite capable of keeping enemies at bay.
 * Asva Thunderclap has great range and speed, and deals both knockback and slow, being very effective against hordes of enemies.
 * Charged Asva Thunderclap allows the player to charge the ability, making it slower but greatly improving its damage.
 * Magic Glyph covers a decent radius around her.
 * The Healing Glyph upgrade allows Apan to heal herself while using it.
 * Her Guardian's Rage is a powerful defensive skill that can protect both her and other characters near her.
 * Becomes very durable when combined with passives from other Bergsons.
 * Can passively increase the effectiveness of healing globes to other characters, as well its drop rate.

Weaknesses

 * Average damage output, specially since her Guardian's Rage does not improve her damage.
 * Magic Glyph makes Apan vulnerable if she is surrounded too quickly.
 * Cannot heal other characters with Healing Glyph.
