She frequently hires adventurers or sellswords for protection or security, abstaining from going into many expeditions anything but small arms to save space for whatever she may find, and so she is not distracted by engaging in combat, herself. She frequently refurbishes and resells Garlean machinery to many different buyers. She also dissects and studies various technologies, writing reports and studies that she sells or publishes, depending on the subject matter, to better Eorzea's understanding of such things, and to help it advance, as well, both to be more prepared against the ever-present Imperial threat, and to improve the quality of life for all she can.</font></div> | ||

| + | <div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#000000;font-family:Georgia;">Corelyn's early life is something of a mystery to most. The earliest stories tend to go back are to the years just following the Calamity, making it likely that whatever life she had before that was either destroyed or simply left behind in the wake of the apocalyptic event, as it has been for many. It seems to pain her to think about, so she generally declines any prompt to even consider it. The farthest back that she often seems willing to recall are her years working aboard a ship as a specialist and gunnery expert. | ||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | For some few years, Corelyn served aboard a corsair's ship named the White Coeurl with its quartermaster and her personal friend, [[Aiouxdaux Beaumont]]. Her expertise in machinery and technology served to steel the ship and its crew in its pursuits against Garlean vessels - its primary targets. However, after a number of years sailing with them, disaster struck and left the ship decimated, its crew and captain almost all dead, and Corelyn stranded, separated from any survivors, as, at the time, she had been experimenting with a prototype long-range boarding mechanism and had used it to escape before the fateful crash, the glider-like contraption launching her up into the air to witness the horrific events as she coasted off and away from the sounds of screams and the cracking of the ship's hull. | ||

| + | <div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#000000;font-family:Georgia;">After escaping the wreckage of the White Coeurl, Corelyn found her way back to Limsa Lominsa. Distraught by the events that had occurred, she spent nearly three months attempting to find any of her former friends and crewmates before giving up and writing them off as dead. In mourning, but in need of a livelihood to support herself, she sought to gain employment at Mealvaan's Gate as an inspector, both in hesitance to return to the sea following such a tragedy and in hopes that, perhaps one day, she would see a familiar face coming through that she may be reunited with those friends she long thought dead. | ||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | She worked as a freight and commerce inspector for the Gate for nearly a year, specialising in identifying, confiscating, and sometimes even even disabling or disarming contraband that was deemed illegal, dangerous, or otherwise. She was often the one consulted in areas of magitek and some lesser technological inspections, often doing so for shipments in aviation, domestic, or even military affairs. More than once, illicit goods that had been confiscated that she had disarmed were offered to her to purchase, and she began her work on the side, delving back into her expertise in tinkering and inventing, sometimes selling her creations or using them to further her own ends. | ||

| + | <div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#000000;font-family:Georgia;">Nearly a year after she began her work at Mealvaan's Gate, Corelyn had saved and raised the money and resources to hire help and lead an expedition to the site of the White Coeurl's fated crash. Though much of the wreckage had long since washed away and the bodies of her old comrades were long-since desiccated or had drifted out to a watery grave, she salvaged many of her own belongings, both water-logged and less so. Her room in the Drowned Wench was, however, proven incapable of handling her experiments after some time as an explosion ripped a hole in the outer wall of the building, not only setting her back in research, but funding as she was forced to pay back her damages before she found a new dwelling. She moved away from Limsa proper toward Camp Bronze Lake, rent out a room in the inn there as her own apartment. After having worked on restoring those old assets she had both brought with her and created aboard the late White Coeurl, and having needed to move far from Limsa Lominsa, she left her employ as an inspector and dedicated her time to delving into abandoned Imperial castrums and outposts. | ||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | With the Eorzean Alliance gaining ground every day against the Empire, Garlean outposts were abandoned, reoccupied, then sacked in such a cycle that the supply of salvageable magitek and ceruleum kept her supply operable simply by virtue of sneaking in and back out on her own. This, of course, was merely a supplement after some time to the larger expeditions she would lead, often accompanied by one or two capable adventurers or bodyguards, hired to keep her from danger as she worked on her salvage and recovery. She managed to balance her needs and income by selling much of the salvage, but found herself unhappy with it, as she often barely scraped by in this manner. Given her new location, she began to explore other avenues of income. | ||

| + | <div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#000000;font-family:Georgia;">Having needed to pursue other options for income, her similar thirst for knowledge led her to delve into the Nymian ruins surrounding her new home in Upper and Outer La Noscea. She often still found herself hiring help as, more often than not, the ruins she delved were inhabited by hateful creatures and monsters, or hostile, savage beasts that had claimed what the Nymians had left behind. However, this prove to be a lucrative avenue as her research and salvage into ancient Nym and its rich history in both magic and society were far more widely-valued by many buyers as a whole than were her technological innovations and refurbishings. | ||
| + | <br> | ||
| + | After some great deal of success and a growing profit in the ruins of ancient Nym, Corelyn began to branch out, seeking Allagan ruins as well. This had a two-fold benefit for her, as, unlike the aether- and magic-based research she would do into such ancient societies in which she had no ability to match her knowledge, she found herself possessed of a deeper understanding of Allagan technology, as much of what she had known growing up was based on or reverse-engineered from others' research into it and Garlean magitek, which, itself, was understood to be based on the Allagans' innovations. Incorporating Allagan concepts into her tinkering proved far more difficult than simply researching and writing dissertations and reports on it. However, this proved a boon in whatever form she pursued it. The only downside was the inherent danger of Allagan ruins, often causing her to seek out a larger party of bodyguards to assist her, making the cost sometimes too steep to pursue with any great frequency. | ||
