General Information . Appearance
Personality
Her exterior is not too unlike a frozen flame: cold at a distance, and passionately burning closer up. The newest member of the Artifice of Reason is quick to cover her emotions, goals, and weaknessses...but give her a means to spark her instant anger, and she becomes a boiling pot of cursing rage. Strangely enough, her actions and ways of speaking cover for an incredibly intelligent woman--she is a Scholar of Nymian Lores, a study of Aetheric Formulae, and a student of Sharlayan knowledge--well-read and with a strikingly good eye for tactics and critical exploitation. Easily infuriated by the stupidly brash, morally unjust, and careless, many people see Crimson as a hard-ass, incapable of showing emotion beyond scowling and being generally cross. However, she is actually rather sensual, warm, and friendly behind her layers and layers of thick skin. She puts people at their limits to test their abilities, in an attempt to improve themselves. She cares for the safety and well-being of people she meets, but would rather see them fight for their survival, rather than running and hiding. Although she appears to be reluctant to do so, if asked for advice in the matters of combat, the Sky Pirate is always pleased to test their mettle, reforge it, and improve it. Arrogant to a fault, prideful of her knowledge, heritage, and courage, she finds it difficult to admit when she's wrong, if she ever does at all. To her, weakness is something she'd rather hide. Despite the crap-free attitude, cold exterior, and less-than-polite means of communication, the Scholar is good at heart. Although her methods are definitely unorthodox, she means well in what she does, and does legitimately feel for people when they're in some form of trouble. She has a soft spot for kids, though she'd never admit it, and takes silent joy in teaching them...even if she does have to ram information into their skulls from time to time. Crimson would do just about anything to defend the unprotected, unwary, and innocent, to include putting her own life on the line. Fearless to death as her father was fearless to the loss of his hand, the Hellsguard takes life by the horns, and refuses to let go. A fighter until the very end, it could very well come to pass that she does go down swinging... In spite of her demeanor and mannerisms, Crimson Elm is highly intelligent; at a young age she demonstrated an uncanny knack for the arcane arts and was sent from her village to the north to Limsa Lominsa, where she took up tutelage from the finest the Arcanist's Guild had to offer her. She has great experience in the ways of Aether and Magic, with knowledge in survival skills attained only through vigorous amounts of personal experience. While her physical power is lacking from practice, her ability to tap into Aether has become a point of high praise from her allies, and a dangerous mechanic to her foes.
The Scholar finds ignorance to be the greatest enemy of being liberated, over everything else. Thus, she has sought to teach herself, and strives to teach others, even if it means beating them upside the head to get them to understand what they need to learn. Keeping people uninformed and unintelligent will only regress society, giving way to the rot of collapsing nations, and casting away what could be wonderful potential into the abyss of history, in her opinion. The only true way to set yourself free...is to learn about the world around you, and take advantage of it in every way you can. Elm also has a vicious taste for dishing out her own brand of justice. She feels strongly about giving people choice to make their lives as blissful as they can, without being pushed down by higher authorities or circumstances. Because of this, she often starts or gets herself into a number of bad situations. Despite how much trouble she'll get into, however, Elm is always willing to do so time and time again.Preferences
