Appearance & Personality

Appearance & Personality

Nature & Demeanor

Nature & Demeanor

Nature: First and Foremost, Rheya is a survivor. Deep down, she's capable of doing whatever it takes to keep going. That indomitable will has seen her through all manner of hard times, and has caused her to spit in the eye of Death itself.

Demeanor: Rheya usually has two modes: Outgoing and friendly on her good days, surly and silent on her bad. Getting her to display anything else will require earning at least a modicum of trust from her.

Trope: Rheya is an almost militant atheist, only believing in and swearing by Hydaelyn the Mothercrystal.

Scars & Markings:

• Rheya's back is brutally scarred from her shoulders to her hips. At one time, it looks like someone tried to make sure that there wasn't more than three finger lengths of skin on her back, and succeeded. The underlying muscles have been healed, in some cases the scar tissue being excised and freshly healed, but the scarring does inhibit her full range of motion. As a result, she's about as flexible as your average Hyur, instead of "dang near tie yourself into a knot" flexible that most Miqo'te are.

Voice: Rheya's got the faint musical twang of Limsa Lominsa in her speech, although the worst of the fisherwoman's drawl was trained out of her by the Arcanist's Guild.

Clothing: Rheya is nearly always neat and clean, almost to the point of obsession. Casual wear is either a dark blue tunic and pants, or a favorite red silk yukata. Most of the time, she's wearing a full set of jewelry that are actually powerful focuses for thaumaturgy. Also, she's managed to connect her staff with one of the gems on her right bracelet and can summon it with a whispered phrase.

When she has to wear armor, then she can either be found in an armored gown with potent magical focus or a finely crafted suit of full plate. As an armorsmith, Rheya's the mistress of her own protection, and

Prejudices

Prejudices

Rheya tries not to be prejudiced, but after plenty of time being used and abused by men more powerful than she is... The male of the species is going to automatically start with one strike against them, and male Lalafells are going to have two. She is aware of this bias, but considers it "common sense" and doesn't see any reason to really try to change her way of thinking.

Abilities

Abilities

Rheya is an accomplished Thaumaturge and Arcanist. She has considerable training in magical theory and practice from those schools, as well as a scattering of other tricks from Conjury and Astrology. She is an initiated Black Mage, and is very experienced in using Thaumaturgy in a fight. Physically, she is fairly skilled with both the axe and sword. As an armorsmith, her own gear is of the highest quality, and she's aware of where one or two good whacks would really impede movement when it comes to her opponents.

Strengths

Strengths

Weaknesses

Weaknesses

Thanks to injuries suffered in the past, Rheya suffers from moderate PTSD. Crowds make her nervous unless she's in full armor, but she's getting better at that.

Combat

Combat

Rheya is cool and level-headed in a fight, and the tenser things get the more relaxed she appears. However, once the emergency passes all the stress she's repressing will come out! She's very good at the calculus of battle, and has been trained in command by the Arcanist's Guild. How she fights depends on whether she using Thaumaturgy, or hand to hand. With Thaumaturgy, she's calm and detached, almost clinical in her focus. Hand to hand, however... She's reckless and aggressive, pushing her enemies this way and that to try and create an opening for her to exploit. Most of the times this works, but against a cooler head she'd have trouble.

Rumors

Rumors

Common Rumors "That one used to repair armor for the Gladiator's Guild in Ul'dah! Shame she quit, since she did good work at reasonable prices." ~A Gladiator's Guild Clerk. "Rheya? Oh, that girl's a dear. Whenever my useless lout of a husband burns things when trying to cook then she's always able to help repair the pans cheap." ~Ul'dahn matron.

Rare Rumors "Look, son. I know you're new to this, but let me give you a word of advice before getting yourself into some troubles. Lieutenant Tayuun is one of our Maelstrom liaisons. Attempting to arrest her as a suspected "black mage" would cause a diplomatic stink that wouldn't do anything good for your career. And neither would the body count that attempting to arrest her would bring, because I'll guarantee you she won't come quietly. Just accept her help dealing with the occasional slaver and drug smuggler, and she'll write reports that makes all of us smell like roses." ~Brass Blades Sergeant

History

History

Born in a fishing village outside Limsa Lominsa to a Keeper of the Moon mother and a Seeker of the Sun father, she grew up happy, carefree, and loved. Calling herself a Keeper since she grew to take after her mother, Rheya expected that she'd continue as a fisherwoman and teacher like her parents. However, the Calamity had other ideas.

As the Red Moon of Dalamud fell, a combination of it's strange effects and large chunks of it falling into the sea raised a tidal wave that flattened Rheya's village and carved a new cliff out of the land nearby. Rheya only survived because her house was one of the furthest inland, and she was on the roof of her house repairing a batch of fishing floats. That gave her just enough flotation to be carried along the surface, and blind luck kept her from being smashed to bits as the wave spent it's fury far inland. Wounded and hurting, she spent an indeterminate few days searching for help after running into a hungry coeurl. She survived, but it gave her the scar over her left eye.

She eventually found help, but not in the form that she wanted. Instead of the kindness of strangers, she was discovered by a rogue Arcanist by the name of Chase and his small gang of thugs. They healed her just enough, but claimed that since they saved her life that life was now theirs. After which they proceeded to take everything that they wanted from her, including her freedom and her virginity. For the next three and a half years, she was forced to work for them as a whore, travelling back and forth between Limsa Lominsa and Ul'dah. Things steadily got grimmer for Rheya, but turned around when Chase tried to engage in banditry that he didn't have the numbers to make work. Three arrows in the guts later, the rogue arcanist found himself dying hard and painful along with his gang of thugs. Rheya was the only survivor, mostly because she didn't try to join in the ambush and was clearly as much of a victim as the merchant that they were trying to rob was.

She made her way back to Limsa Lominsa with Chase's silver grimoire, intending to sell it back to the Arcanist's Guild and find something new. However, a guard decided that she was a thief and tried to take it from her. Which led to a very surprising moment for everyone as Rheya managed to actually channel a Ruin spell with what she'd picked up from Chase. This might have ended badly, except an Assessor was in the crowd watching and figured Rheya for the Arcanima natural that she was. He intervened, and traded the silver grimoire for bed and board and training.

Rheya spent the next year and a half or so training.

Hard Limits

Hard Limits

I am willing to play a wide range of mature themes. Rheya definitely has her darker sides, and I am open to themes involving injury or potential death. However, anything involving potential permanent damage must be discussed beforehand, and if you get into a fight with Rheya be willing to take your licks as well. Other than that, I'll gladly use Rheya to help you tell your character's stories.
