| − | '''Physical Appearance'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Keimahl is somewhat slight and on the short side for a roegadyn, not that many of the shorter species would notice. She's dark-skinned and a bit purple for a Sea Wolf. Her hair is a combination of dark with a distinct ultramarine tint and pale blue-violet streaking. Her eyes are very bright green. Her two and a half concessions to vanity are colorful facepaint, carefully-maintained hair and a fondness for jewelry.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Her overall approach to fashion is flattering but practical, wearing things that look nice but above all keep her comfortable (or protected). By all appearances she is more than comfortable with Limosan fashions including the more revealing approaches to garments. She prefers warmth to the cold, although she never fusses about it one way or the other.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Mannerisms'''
| |
| − | | |
| − | Keimahl skews heavily towards great customer service with strangers: smiling and friendly while unobtrusively keeping necessary distance. People she's met more than in passing are treated to bigger smiles and a teasing sense of humor. In the proper circumstances, she's ''very'' flirtatious and tends to come on heavy, assuming her target(s) seem comfortable with it. It's also not hard to catch her drinking in the view when attractive people are on offer in a relaxed atmosphere.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Her accent is a noteworthy "slightly overpronounced merchant's common". She rarely dips into a Limsan-ish accent under duress (though true Limsan citizens may note that her slang suggests the multitude of Sea Wolf-heavy ships and sailors roaming the seas rather than Limsa Lominsa proper).

| − | Keimahl is not an adventurer and refuses to pretend she can keep up with people whose day job is murdering wayward wildlife and criminals. However, Eorzea is a dangerous place and her mother did not permit helplessness. She discovered a strong talent for arcanistry while working for Mealvaan's Gate and occasionally takes on simple beast bounties for the exercise and money. (Not that she bothers talking about it.)

| |
| − | Rumors are such interesting things: they are as ubiquitous as the truth is not.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Common Rumors'''
| |
| − | * "The shorter roe lady, in and out of... what's their name... Might 'n Magitek's place near every damn day? Yeah, I don't think there's a street vendor's stall she hasn't visited twice by now." ''- Goblet merchant''
| |
| − | * "Oh, I'm never sure when she'll come by, but she's been a delight! Many customers don't appreciate the WORK that goes into getting rare books, but she even asked me for suggestions to help preserve the last one she bought!" ''-tome merchant''
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Rare Rumors'''
| |
| − | * "Short Sea Wolf, fancy hair, not dirty enough. Always sits with the same roe and hyur, often as not there's a lalafel joinin' them. Beats me what the hells she's doin' in this dive but she don't bother the wenches and she's always clearin' the tab." ''- disreputable Limsan bartender''
| |
| − | * "THAT one? Won't leave the wenches alone! An' the dockboys, an' half the scalawags, an' half of everythin' that moves besides." ''- another disreputable Limsan bartender''
| |
| − | * "We get two dozen adventurers through here on a slow day! Might ha- ah, wait, kind of purple but not a Hellsguard? Had a woman like that through here a moon back. Sweet thing, didn't yell or punch anyone when the drunk hecklers were making their invitations. Used to roegadyn responding much more... loudly." ''- Serpent officer''
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Very Rare Rumors'''
| |
| − | * "Sterrgeim's bastard? THAT Sterrgeim? Everybody knows if th' wolf's pet hyur didn't do the deed it was only cause she was droppin' her britches for every lalafel she met!" ''- Limsan dockhand<sup>?</sup>/thug''
| |
| − | * "Purple Eel is... a very particular student. She's shown little and less interest in martial applications but I've yet to find a defter hand when I have questions about the particulars of why a new technique works." ''- midranking Summoner teacher''
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''PC Rumors'''
| |
| − | * "She, uh... she draws people really well. Naked people." - ''Khalun Ejinn''
| |
| − | ===RP Hooks===
| |
| − | Tidbits and teases: potential excuses/reasons your character might have met Keim in passing or heard of her.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Pre-Calamity'''
| |
| − | * [20 years] Sailors, shiphands and passengers: those who sailed the Rhotano sea (and further beyond) might have been on the same ship as a quiet roegadyn girl (scribe? in training?) and her lalafell sister.
| |
| − | | |
| − | '''Post-Calamity'''
| |
| − | * [1-3 years after] Mealvaan's Gate: one of many Arcanistry students. Did pretty well, moved on relatively quickly.
| |
| − | * [3-5 years after] Wandering merchants: worked as a sell-pen towards and around Ul'dah, helping with bookkeeping of all sorts: accounting, inventory, audits, anything with aggravating amounts of tedious writing/math that sane people don't want to do themselves.
| |
| − | * [4 years after] Arrzaneth Ossuary: brief stint learning Thaumaturgy. Friendly but didn't do well and flunked out before long.
| |
| − | * [recently] Summoners: one of a number of students reviving the lost art. Might share a teacher, might have heard of the Sea Wolf who helped solve this or that fiddly detail question about how a spell works. ''((HEADCANON: there's more than a few "official" summoners being trained up by whoever first began reviving the art with Y'mhitra; the "official" ones are mostly hand-picked from the best and brightest arcanists; there's also unaffiliated researchers/adventurers doing the same research on their own who may/may not call themselves summoners and may/may not have heard about what Y'mhitra and co is working on; most are picked for their combat aptitude but some contribute by being massive nerds who solve technical issues and otherwise work to comprehend/explain the magic more than do it.))'' | |
| − | | |
| − | =Familiar Faces=
| |
| − | * [[Khaishan Buduga]] - nomadic wall of muscle. Gods help us all that Keim decided it was worth arguing with him on the off chance he might become less terrible. Why are they courting? Who let this happen?!
| |
| − | * [[Fhilwyda Eyrihaerzwyn]] - the louder, stronger Sea Wolf of Might & Magitek. The two women are nothing alike but mutually delighted to call the other "friend".
| |
| − | * [[Mana Kami]] - awe-inspiringly good. Keim has nothing but respect for a paladin who stands between innocent people and the world. Doesn't hurt that she's easy on the eyes and fantastic company.
| |
| − | * [[Alina Steelhawk]] - industrious, quirky genius. Keim's favorite bartender ''and'' an excellent craftsman. Probably shouldn't be allowed to explain things to the innocently clueless, though.
| |
| − | * [[Khalun Ejinn]] - a VERY skilled healer that Keim will (and has) placed her trust in without hesitation. Socially a bit odd but very easy to tease. At least she appreciate Keim's bookmaking skills. | |
| − | * [[Leroy Murrand]] - one of the senior adventurers of the company and a seasoned combat veteran. Keimahl is more than a little impressed by his ability to cheat death out in the field; not so much his inability to stay out of the infirmary more than five minutes....
| |
| − | * [[Nadi'a Lamore]] - Troublemaker with a capital T. For best results please maintain a flexible grasp on morality and sanity while dealing with him.
