Stray's Corner

Lissome and graceful, the Keeper’s appearance is almost haunting at first glance. She was small and delicate looking, with pouted lips that often curved upward into a gentle smirk. Paled, grey toned skin with long, white hair in loose curls she was almost seemingly a spirit of the forest rather than a person for how ghostly she appeared. Striking green eyes were often the first thing that grabbed the attention of someone as they were contrasted by dark coal makeup.

Iriseli has an air around her of confidence and pride. She can be cruel and often have ulterior motives. She’s also selfish and easily angered which causes her to have violent tendencies. She can lie with ease and tends to extremely persuading when she needs to be, after all, you’re either in her way or someone deemed useful. This doesn't mean she constantly lies, she’s actually rather blunt at times. She can also just as easily put on a “face” when need be it, especially when it comes to a job.

None of these things mean she’s completely unapproachable though; in fact, she seems rather friendly at times- it’s just the why that’s unknown.

Rumor has it there's a captain notorious for his vengeance and cruelty. If one sees the flags of the Kraken off in the distance, they know its captain is better a friend than foe. He'll stop at nothing to get what he wants and do whatever it takes; no matter the cost.

Cero himself is often found gambling his time away while he's in the city on business or during the little downtime he might have between voyages. He enjoys good rum, good company, and good women; he's a simple man.

She doesn't often have company that’s alive, so she’s more than welcoming to those who do choose her for company, especially since she’s highly introverted and a bit of a workaholic. One can likely tell she doesn’t get much sleep due to the dark circles underneath her eyes, easily noticed in contrast to her pale skin. However, she often hides this with a pair of large, antique looking glasses and circular, darkened lenses. When she’s not wearing them, her right eye is revealed to be a bright, striking green. Its partner is milky white and surrounded by rough, ruined skin. Burn scars creep across the left side of her face, trailing down toward her chin. Nonetheless, she can often be seen acknowledging passersby with a shy smile.

Like Kat herself, her features are not soft. Sharp cheekbones angle down to her chin. Her blue eyes are feline-like in shape which are only exaggerated by her makeup. Her hair is a mess of wild golden curls that fall past her shoulders and her accent has the familiar faint lilt of an Ishgardian, she seems to try to hide it.

More often than not, she's quick to distrust, she's also hesitant to reveal her newfound family name. Being the daughter of a renowned pirate doesn't exactly bode well. Kat can come off as cold and sarcastic most of the time, she tries to hide anything else she might be feeling. She's not completely unapproachable though, it just takes time.

Kindness is seemingly looked over, however, Rue always tries to emanate it. The healer for hire is bubbly and goes out of her way for others. Her small, pear shaped form barely reaches 4'10" but that doesn't stop her from making her presence known. Long, chocolatey hair falls just past her shoulders and blue eyes stand out against her paled skin. A mess of freckles splatter across her nose and under her eyes. 

She often smells like she just stepped out of a coffee shop, the aroma of baked goods and coffee cling to her no matter where she is. Those who know her, most likely know the smell comes from her small cafe, Odder Otter; the healer doesn't seem to mind it.

There is a darker secret with the kind woman, one that she wouldn't give out; one that isn't hers to tell. She somehow was roped in by the criminal organization known as The Lotus, working as the secretary to the kingpin himself. How this came to be is a mystery itself, but those who dig deeper into her past just might put the pieces of the puzzle together.

Tess looms around local fighting clubs, sometimes she joins in and other times she sits back and watches the bloodsport with a crooked grin.

Formerly living the life of crime, Tess seems rigid when she talks about her childhood. "It was rough" is about all that is given aside from the South Shroud origins. Most shrug it off, given Keepers didn't have the easiest of lives. The truth, however, is she spent almost all of her childhood and adolescent years among the Blue Butchers. Perhaps something is oddly familiar about her if you had once been robbed by such a gang in the shroud many years ago.

Tess seems to begrudgingly offer her help to those who need it. She looks awkward and out of place when she does, as if she's still trying to get used to it.

Rielle seems like a kind woman, one who takes in those who need work and a place to call home. When in reality, there's always a price tag that comes with it. She has a small "investment business" called the Spider Lily. She claims to go around helping small businesses in need by giving out loans and for all who dig, she does. She simply asks for these businesses to give either residence or work to the many people she has come to collect.

What she's actually running is a criminal organization located in Kugane. The businesses help keep her front, she keeps them open, and provides a large investment for their operations.

Standing at an imposing height, Drais is anything but friendly at first glance. He is rugged, scarred, and heavily armed-- even if some weapons aren't in line of sight. His armor is worn and torn from battle and his travels. One could easily assume he's a mercenary and they wouldn't be far off.

When he speaks his voice is low and gravelly sounding and words are often shortened. There is an ever present look of disdain on his features.

Quiet and almost brooding, he doesn't really seem like the best company to keep mainly because he doesn't choose to participate in most conversations. When he does talk, he's often blunt or sharp with his words. Few get him to loosen up, those that do are the ones he deems his friends.

The first thing about this man that one would notice would be that charming, boyish grin. Though often it’s met with narrowed eyes that gleam with amusement and mischief. It’s clear he’s up to something, it’s just the what that’s unknown. When speaking it’s nearly impossible to tell the difference between his truths and lies. He’s well practiced with manipulating people’s emotions with that silver tongue of his. Aiden knows just how to adapt and blend into his surroundings.

To anyone attuned with sensing magic Aiden practically oozes it. From fire to void, he's dabbling in anything he can get his hands on. He excels in void, fire, and even illusion magic. Aiden has also studied magical artifacts most of his life and finds himself to be a collector of sorts. He has contacts here and there for rare objects and even illegal ones; highly illegal. If there's something you need done he's the right man to come to, though everything comes with a price.

The question is: are you willing to pay it?

Liara is rough around the edges thanks to growing up with her half-brother and most of the other misfits of the Shroud. To others outside of the town and her lifestyle, she can come off as intimidating or rude. She tends to speak what’s on her mind often with brutal honesty and it leads others to make quick judgement about her character. However, most of the time, this doesn’t tend to bother her since she doesn’t let what other people think get to her. She can also be impulsive and stubborn, which often leads her to a lot of bad decisions and trouble.

She likes a challenge and when she lets her guard down around others, she can easily become the life of the party. Though she does prefer to be around a few close friends over a large group. When she’s gained an attachment to someone she’s fiercely protective, refusing to let others walk all over them and will usually go out of her way to help them.

The house of wolves, as many call it.

Once you know them, really know them, you start to understand just how fitting it really was. The family is known for their greed, pride, assassination and ties to the black market. With many enemies, it's no wonder they're so merciless.

The name Zeddicus used to mean nothing; it was a simple name.

There were no ties to the criminal world, there was no wealth, and there was no empire. Rielen’s father was a blacksmith and his mother? She was nothing more than a bandit. He was meant to take over his father’s craft and nothing more; a simple life.

However, something inside the young boy wanted more, perhaps he got that from his mother. He wanted to make his mark on the world and, at first, it was an innocent thought. There was no darkness to it but then that thought became an obsession.

No more would the name Zeddicus be nothing; it would be whispered in lavish parties and it belonged in history.

It wasn't until Rielen met Lilia that he made it all happen years later. He took his family of Duskwights, ripping them from the shroud's safety, to the icy and stoned walls of Ishgard.
