Gender ♀ Race Au Ra Clan Raen Citizenship Doman/Limsa Lominsan Age 19 Occupation Assessor at Mealvaan's Gate Alignment Chaotic Good; Balance-seeking MBTI ENFP Patron Deity Llymlaen, the Navigator GENERAL INFORMATION Rin Chiura 知浦 (Pronunciation: chee-uu-ṙah), A girl born on the sea, and never happier than when surrounded by clear skies above and crashing waves below. And born with the desperate need to know everything. Rin is endlessly curious and exasperatingly nosy, scatterbrained but good-hearted. Just don't make her angry because she might channel that inquisitive energy into something destructive. Currently working as an Assessor at the Arcanist's guild in Limsa. Although most of her days are spent doing routine inspections and paperwork, her unassuming appearance, knack at reading people, and dogged determination have made her a surprisingly effective field agent - tracking runners down and going undercover to infiltrate the occasional smuggling ring are all in a day's work. APPEARANCE Tan skin, faint freckles and brown hair; she considers herself pretty plain for the most part. Look past the carefree demeanor and you might notice her eyes constantly evaluating her surroundings, taking in information and watching for patterns. Taller than most Au Ran women her age (to her 4'9" mother's anguish). She likes to dress in soft, muted or pastel colors, but loves the solid clean lines of jet black dyes as well. Rin is almost always seen smiling in amusement at some private joke (if not outright bursting into uncontrollable laughter). But lately she's been more withdrawn and pensive. She also looks surprisingly sleep-deprived for someone who is constantly professing her great love for naps. People close to her might detect a hint of worry beneath the laidback attitude, and they wouldn't be wrong. You can't be that hyper-aware of everyone around you without being a little paranoid as well... PERSONALITY Cheerful. Perceptive. Determined. On the surface you couldn't find a more relaxed and happy-go-lucky soul, but sometimes she wonders if keeping up that act is starting to wear on her. Although she's flighty about most things that catch her interest, when Rin truly sets her eye on a goal she will obsessively pursue it. She has a strong conviction in justice - finding the truth, protecting the powerless, and other admittedly romantic notions. (Please, please don't bring it up though. Talking about that kind of sap is impossible to do with a straight face, especially for her.) As the only daughter of two ex-mercenaries, it was with a mix of perplexity and bemused acceptance that the Chiuras discovered that their child was more inclined to math and books than axes and fists. Although they were a bit sad to find out she was pathetically uncoordinated in every shape or fashion, they still loved her in their boisterous, passionate, and embarrassingly loud ways. Living a life of travel on the trade routes between Doma and Vylbrand was almost enough to satisfy Rin's curiosity, but not quite. The more off-limits something seemed, the more she wanted to know about it; a harmless demeanour and a blithe smile came in handy for going unnoticed. Or mostly just underestimated. Strangely enough, Rin shines in moments of chaos and uncertainty. She'll avoid responsibility like the plague, but if no one else will take the lead then she'll step up and do what needs to be done. Honestly, it's hard to tell when she's truly having a clueless moment or if it's part of the act. (She'd insist to herself it's the latter, but the truth is more... in the middle.) Deep down she's a budding leader, a cool head in a crisis and a calm voice on the battlefield - it's just that the guilt that comes with making the wrong decisions is crippling. Rin tries to fly under the radar with that childish, laid-back facade, so her tactical smarts come as a surprise to most. For now she's keeping it that way. She's seen what a military life has done to people she loves. LIKES Exploring. When a trail of cargo inevitably leads her to Ul'dah at some point, her guild-mates know she'll be returning days late because there's just so much she hasn't seen yet and yes that detour through Hamon Holyfist's favorite bar was completely necessary. Books. She's always got one, or two, or maybe five on her person at all times. Heights. Rin grew up in a tiny fishing village, where you could see everything and know everyone. Her favorite spots to be are somewhere with a great vantage point where she can keep an eye on everything around her. People. While she would need more than a lifetime to research every topic that catches her fancy, Rin is foremost fascinated by people. People are the one puzzle that she can never quite solve, but that won't stop her from trying. Chess. Her favorite game to play with her father, who picked it up while wandering Thanalan as a mercenary. If only there were more betting rings for strategic board games in Eorzea, she'd be making a killing off her airheaded reputation. DISLIKES Ignorance. Rin often clashes with the mindset in Gridania and Ishgard, whose xenophobia is understandable yet utterly strange to her worldview. Although she greatly admires Merlwyb's confidence as a leader, she strongly disagrees with her ruthless stance on the beastmen tribes. Feeling restless. She's constantly looking for the next obsession to carry her away because sometimes, stopping too long to confront her doubts and fears can throw her into a state of existential crises. Crafting. Still recovering from a brief but tumultuous crafting addiction. She insisted on learning every single trade simultaneously. Needless to say her physical scars have stories that are more embarrassing than impressive. Being controlled. She has no problem following orders from someone she trusts, but she absolutely cannot stand people enforcing their will on others. Blind obedience. All leaders are fallible. Everyone has a choice to do what's right. Rin won't hesitate to question those in power and won't accept "just following orders" as a defense, ever. STRENGTHS Languages. Actually, no one is sure if she's truly understanding what those people at the Rogue's guild are saying, but it seems less likely that she can fake it that well. Math. Sometimes the patterns fall into place just right, and when the messiness of people's motives becomes too much, the clear, precise, rightness of numbers is the anchor keeping her two feet on the ground. Creativity. To the dismay of her mentors, Rin doesn't have the attention span to do more than skim the fundamentals. For better or worse, her spells and tactics are always a bit unusual, with the air of someone who's just winging it as they go along. Then again, the results don't lie, right? Reading people. Useful for catching liars, but also for judging the strengths, weaknesses, fears, and desires of her friends. Recognizing this is her main strength as a leader. A deceptively strong throwing arm. Tease her enough and you'll find that she'll throw all her magical knowledge out the window and resort to hurling the nearest object at you instead. WEAKNESSES Flippant. Rin's first reaction to conflict is to diffuse it with a joke, and Serious Moments make her feel extremely uncomfortable. She struggles to speak genuinely - or acknowledge that maybe things aren't as OK as they seem. She loves to tease, but sometimes she goes too far. No sense of direction. Yeah, those days spent "exploring" Ul'dah are her usual cover for the fact that she couldn't figure out where the exit was. Enclosed spaces. Her greatest fear, by far. Being trapped and feeling claustrophobic is the one thing that makes her truly panic. Self-doubt. She's as relaxed as can be, but only because she actively avoids things that put her confidence into question. She's terrified of making costly mistakes, and has a massive guilt complex - she'll stay up for nights thinking about what she should've done differently. Distant. Rin is the type to be able to befriend everyone, but gets close to barely anyone. She has plenty of acquaintances but struggles to open up to them. Stubborn. If she's feeling even slightly bossed around or taken for granted, Rin won't budge even if it makes her life harder.

PAST, PRESENT & CONNECTIONS BACKSTORY Bulleted list item RECENT HISTORY FAMILY TEACHERS, FRIENDS & RIVALS RUMORS & RP HOOKS These are rumors, both from NPCs/PCs, that one might overhear. Feel free to utilize these in your RP hooks, or add your own!' ◢ Common Rumors - Easily overheard. Use these freely! "She keeps an arsenal of books in her bag so that she can throw em at people who annoy her. All her gifts in arcanism and she'd rather throw them!" -- Appalled member of the Arcanist's guild. "I've never heard more cussing in my life than when that girl took up crafting. And I've served my share of pir-- er, privateers." -- Innkeep at the Drowning Wench. "She likes to throw eggs too. Says the cracking splat noise is more "satisfying" and her teacher had a fit when he saw what she did to his books." -- Murie, Guild Receptionist. "If you want to have a good time come down by the Hyaline 'round noon to watch 'er try to learn to cook. We got bets going on when she burns that place to the ground and I've learned at least ten-score new curse words already." -- Culinary Apprentice. ◢ Uncommon Rumors - A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first! "That girl thinks too much. Sometimes things are only what they seem." -- Tired soldier, Ul'dah. "There's not a nook or cranny in Limsa that she ain't stuck her nose into. Mealvaan's gate's got a lot of use outta it o'course. Constantly popping into the Blacksmiths guild to get counterfeit goods looked at, walkin' outta the Marauders guild with some eager new recruit as muscle, and word has it she's got contacts at the Rogues' guild as well." -- Baderon, Proprietor of the Drowning Wench. "Just looking at her, you wouldn't guess that she's one of their most promising agents at the gate, no? Yesterday I saw her buying overpriced eggs from some unlicensed fellow at the marketboard! When I was standing right next to her!!" -- Indignant egg vendor. "The new ships comin' in like to try an' get Chiura assigned to their inspection cos she looks like some naive beachside lass. Mayhaps they'll learn that she's smiling so much cos she's trying so hard not to burst out laughin' at em." -- Sea Wolf Sailor. ◢ Rare Rumors - Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using! "People look surprised when they hear I have complete faith in her, of all people. But I was there when we were blindsided by pirates. I've never seen anyone change from carefree to dead focused so quickly. We'd all be dead or sold as slaves if it weren't for her quick thinking." -- Green-eyed Miqo'te. "She found me. The sisters have taken me in now. The thought of that ship still gives me nightmares. I had given up. But she tore through the entire place and found me." -- Victim of a slaver on route to Thanalan. "Her parents may be fishers now but you don't get scars like that from living a simple merchant's life. Either soldiers or mercenaries or pirates by the looks o' it." -- Wry Yellowjacket Officer. "For someone so perceptive Rin can be laughably oblivious to what's right in front of her... I've half a mind that it's a ploy for me to give her more complex assignments in the field." -- Thubyrgeim, Guildmaster at Mealvaan's Gate. ◢ Player Character Rumors - Feel free to add rumors of your own!
