Basic Info

Corelyn is truly a curious young woman. While a bit short for a woman claiming to be of Highlander descent, she still resembles a Highlander much more readily than she would a Midlander. She's a veritable genius in many fields, magitek, machinistry and magic among them, though she professes to having no workable skill in the latter.

"Ask me all the questions you like, but don't blame me for having the answers."

"If there's knowledge to be had, I WILL have it."

"Don't ever tell me 'nevermind,' and expect that to stop me."

Appearance & Personality

Corelyn is a medium-height, somewhat stocky girl in her mid-twenties. Though she is apparently of Highlander descent, she is a bit short and pale for it, which seems to leave her standing out in a crowd of her peers. She wears black eyeliner and lipstick, and her tightly-kept nearly-platinum-blonde hair is tipped in black, the rest bearing similar dark highlights, bangs kept just long enough so as to completely obscure her forehead. She does not appear to have any tattoos or markings of any kind, at least at a cursory glance. She has various piercings up and along her ears. A pair of dark-rimmed glasses always perches atop her nose, her teal eyes gazing studiously forth from behind them, perpetually analysing her surroundings, as if de-constructing everything around her down to numbers and figures.

She keeps to modest clothing to avoid unwanted attention, hiding a more protective layer of light armour beneath to protect her in her travels. She is never seen without a tome, grimoire, or other such book, as well as multiple writing implements kept safe in a satchel at her waist.

While very seldom seen, she also possesses a number of different firearms, including more than one gunblade. She also keeps what she calls a "ceruleum battery pack" for use in various magitek and machinist implements - a stark contrast to Skysteel Manufactory's own Aetheroconverter.

Hammersmith is well spoken, assuming you catch him without a bottle in his mouth. Given that this is a rare event, most times he speaks with the accent of his childhood village, which makes the torrent of filth, philosophy, and temptation all the harder to understand.

Corelyn tends to be fairly-wellmannered and cultured, bearing a distinct understanding and knowledge on a vast number of subjects. However, she tends to be fairly awkward and can often misinterpret social situations or cues. She often watches people, as if reducing them to statistics in her head, picking them apart piece by piece in both personality and appearance. She is fascinated by technology - Allagan or Garlean - and has a tendency to get quite excitable when talking about it.

In combat, Corelyn tends to remain at range for a good deal, though she exhibits considerable skill in close-quarters combat with a blade, especially gun-based magitek or machinistry weapons with blade attachments or vice-versa. Her studies into the working of Garlean culture and mechanics seem to heavily influence many of her styles and forms, seeming almost directly descended from those of the Garlean military.

Known Biography

Corelyn, of late, has taken up with a band called the Order of the Compass and has been undertaking her expeditions with peers in the free company, to places as far-reaching as Dravania. The results of these are as yet unknown, were they fruitful at all.

Corelyn, directly following the Calamity at the Battle of Carteneau, is vaguely known to have been in the company of a company of privateers aboard the late vessel "Coeurl," among whom she was closest with an elezen man by name of Aiouxdaux Beaumont. Her role is unclear, but it can be assumed that she assisted in deconstructing and repurposing stolen Garlean weaponry and technology.

Much of Corelyn's earlier history is a mystery. She has nothing to say about much of it, usually waving it off as unimportant. What is known, however, is that most recollection or record of her in Eorzea begins shortly after the Calamity, and records concerning her are by and large inaccessible to most, save for very basic details. She has done some small amount of work with the Arcanists' Guild in Limsa Lominsa, and has travelled a good deal in search of Allagan ruins and abandoned Garlean facilities to study the magicks and technologies of each or either. She is known to have hired or taken up with various companies of mercenaries and scholars in order to further her pursuit of knowledge, often delving into ruins or abandoned facilities.

Miscellaneous

• Accompanying Corelyn at times is a tiny Magitek Bit known colloquially as "Bit" - a deweaponized magitek construct that acts as a secretary and kind of companion at times, though it seems to annoy her rather frequently.

• Though she has a vast knowledge of firearms and other forms of combat, Corelyn insists that she take non-combat roles when possible, sometimes even claiming she has no skill in such.

• Corelyn's phobia of undead is extreme, indeed. When confronted or touched by one, especially a zombie, she will enter a freznied panic state and attack with anything she has on hand in an attempt to utterly destroy anything that could be undead. At that point of panic, that could be anything that moves. If unarmed, she will likely enter a catatonic state from fright.

• Corelyn has a very slight accent that would be hard for most to place when she is excited or otherwise emotionally-fuelled and not speaking carefully. Otherwise, she would sound perfectly "normal."

• Corelyn has an inn room at Camp Bronze Lake which has practically been converted to a workshop. It's unknown just how much she pays the owner, but it must be steep.

• She displays next to no attunement or ability in aetherical manipulation of any kind. She claims she was just never meant to be able to do so due to some personal flaw; she has the knowledge, but lacks the skill.

• Corelyn has a soft spot for sweets - especially pastries.
