Gender Female Race Hyur Clan Highlander Citizenship Limsa Lominsa Server Balmung Age 28 Sexuality Pansexual Occupation Machinist, Magitek Engineer, Researcher Height/Weight 5 fulms 6 ilms / NO ponze Diety Unknown 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. She boasts incredible talent with learning all manner of things with great speed and alacrity, and is a veritable encyclopaedia on many and more topics. She wastes very little time, taking only time she feels she needs to rest in order to do all she can in order to not only make her life worth living, but to make sure, in her own way, that she can make some kind of difference with her work, be it for herself, or all of Eorzea. "Ask me all the questions you like, but don't get upset if the answers aren't what you expect."   "If there's knowledge to be had, I will have it." "Don't ever tell me 'nevermind,' and expect that to stop me."

Gunblades) ■ Weaponcrafting (esp. Machinery) ■ Learning nearly anything ■ Singing, poetry 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 slightly dishevelled, 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. Corelyn tends to be fairly-well-mannered 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. Relationships ♥ Sexual Desire     ♥ Romantic Interest   ♥ Platonic Love ● Good Standing   ● Neutral                   ● Poor Standing Family Corelyn tends to be particularly tight-lipped about her family. She seems to know they're alive, somewhere, but says nothing about them, if she even cares much (she doesn't really seem to). Friends and Acquaintances Name Aiouxdaux Beaumont   ♥ Corelyn: "I owe him my life. He is my best friend, and I would do most anything for him." Following the Calamity, Corelyn met Aiouxdaux and his Miqo'te crew aboard the vessel "The White Coeurl", and sailed with them for some time as privateers. Primarily ransacking and plundering Garlean vessels, Corelyn eventually found herself a wealth of knowledge in the wrecks and loot, learning a great deal about magitek and putting that knowledge to good use. However, the ill-fated Couerl eventually was to be no more, and the entire crew, save for Corelyn and Aiouxdaux, who remained unknowingly separated for a bit over a year, perished in the horrible event. The only but recently reuinted, and have thus far spent a great deal of time catching up. J'azhar Tia   ● Corelyn: "Such a charmer. He and Aioux could be attached at the hip and I doubt neither would mind." Not long after having been reunited with Aioux, Corelyn was introduced by the same elezen to J'azhar. They spent a good deal of time talking, and have met again several times since, especially as the desert-faring miqo'te is so important to her best friend. She is curious about him, and would like to get to know him more since Aioux trusts him so well, but has yet been reluctant to make good on that desire. Aya Donovan   ● Corelyn: "First a hyur, now a miqo'te due to some strange situation... and no less awkward for it." Corelyn encountered Aya while reminiscing with Aiouxdaux, and then several times after. While their conversations have not been incredibly in-depth, Aya has nonetheless become a friend to Corelyn. She has confided quite a few private things to the young woman, by choice or circumstance, and seems to trust her quite a bit. They have explored Dravania a bit together, along with Jadoth and S'imba, all from the Order of the Compass. Jadoth Bloodreign   ● Corelyn: "Jumpy, shifty, and a bit brash... but he means well, and he can certainly cook." Jadoth: "She's kinda confusing, but that's only because she uses too many big words that only those scholarly types would know." Met at the same time as she met Aya, Jadoth was, at first, somewhat shifty and aloof, but eventually warmed up some to Corelyn. Eventually, they met several more times, usually at the same time as Aya, having been friends with Jadoth before they met Corelyn. He joined the Order of the Compass following Aya and Corelyn both, having followed them inside the company's headquarters. Since, he has gone on adventures with them, and also knows a deal more about Corelyn most would at first glance. T'jerris Nhorenas   ● Corelyn: "A strange one, indeed. I feel she has identical siblings. I keep seeing duplicates with different hair..." Also met with Aya and Jadoth, T'jerris has spoken with Corelyn a number of times since their first encounter, as have the miqo'te's apparent sibling, though she has only met once. They spoke briefly about forming a free company or band of common-purposed adventurers, but she has not sine heard from T'jerris. Rose Typhoon   ● Corelyn: "She is certainly not the brute she seems. Quite a good conversationalist, to be frank." Corelyn encountered Rose during a meeting at the Order of the Compass headquarters, and spoke for a short time about some of her own findings on a mission on which she and some others had embarked. Though uninterested, Rose eventually piqued Jadoth and Corelyn's curiosity with her unusual fire-aspected fist-weapons. They spoke at length about the properties and how they worked before parting. They have met once or twice since. Sven Volkorus   ● Corelyn: "There is so much more to this man than I feel he could ever let on." Corelyn initially met Sven when directed to the Order of the Compass by a band that aided her research in a ruin in Thanalan. While slightly intimidating to her, she also admires him a bit for what she sees as a great relationship between himself and those with whom he works in his Order. She is leery of him since an incident during a meeting at which she is present, but she has enough trust in the man to stick around, especially as the Order has been so good to her since her initiation, not to mention he, himself, has proven to be a trustworthy person thus far. S'imba Tia   ● Corelyn: "Troubled. Very troubled. Something about him seems off, but..." S'imba accompanied Corelyn, Jadoth, and Aya on a mission to the Dravanian forelands to investigate the expansive ruins therein. While a very effective bodyguard, and an even better scout, he struck Corelyn as highly aloof and pensive a good deal of the time. She would like to find friendship in the tia, but feels it may be an incredibly difficult road, and, being ever averse to even "simple" social situations at times, she has avoided it.

Recent Events and Stories Corelyn, of late, has taken up with a company 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. Future Plans and Goals Further research into aethereal theory Develop methods of curing/circumventing aethereal disabilities and conditions Further research into ancient Allagan technology Further research into modern Garlean technology Develop new, better magitek than what has been salvaged Continue work with the Order of the Compass, develop relations Get Aiouxdaux to visit her for once Known History 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. Directly following the Calamity at the Battle of Carteneau, she is vaguely known to have been in the company of a company of privateers aboard the late vessel "The White 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.

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.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing  Corelyn nan Bellor Error creating thumbnail: File missing "Do pardon me if my place of birth inconveniences you." Gender Female Race Garlean Clan Garlean Citizenship Garlemald Server Balmung Age 28 Sexuality Pansexual Occupation Machinist, Magitek Engineer, Researcher Height/Weight 5 fulms 6 ilms / 162 ponze Diety None Basic Info Corelyn nan Bellor is a magitek engineer, multi-faceted researcher ever in search of more knowledge, and, generally, a well-intentioned young woman, displaced from her home and living the life of a refugee in Eorzea. She generally keeps to herself, working on her machines and attempting to all the while broaden her knowledge and research into nearly everything she can. Her evasiveness and aloof mentality stems very heavily from the fact that, while she is proud of her heritage and who she is, she is all too aware of the problems caused by a Garlean woman walking freely about Eorzea during times of war and unrest caused almost entirely by those from her very homeland. While she wishes no more than peace, and to help defend Eorzea from the very war of conquest she detests so, she fears that one day, she will have to come out for who she truly is to find a better place and peace of mind within her new home. "I love my homeland, but I detest the ceaseless need for conquest..."   "Judge by the actions of the individual, not by their circumstances." "I'm surrounded by savages and lunatics... And yet, it's all so wonderfully charming." Appearance & Personality Corelyn is a medium-height, somewhat stocky girl in her mid-twenties. She is a bit short compared to some of her countrymen, but most definitely resembles a Garlean quite strikingly, including the third eye on her forehead, which she often tries to keep hidden. She wears black eyeliner and lipstick, nearly-platinum-blonde hair is tipped in black, the rest bearing similar dark highlights. It is kept far neater and off of her forehead when she is not looking to actively hide her third eye. 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. When her third eye is exposed, she is less inclined wear glasses, though she often does anyhow, due to being near-sighted without some form of corrective eyewear. She possesses a number of different firearms, including more than one gunblade, and including a clearly Garlean military gunblade, which, presumably, she used when in service to the VIIth. 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, as she does not possess the ability, like most pure-blooded Garleans, to manipulate aether in any way without technology. Corelyn tends to be fairly-well-mannered and cultured, bearing a distinct understanding and knowledge on a vast number of subjects; something she attributes to a more "civilized" upbringing. She is a bit less awkward when not trying to be evasive, but all the same, she tends to miss out on social cues at times. 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. She was trained extensively in gunblade combat while a soldier, and as such, demonstrates exceptional skill with them, and can wield a normal firearm or long blade in nearly equal capacity. Private Biography To be expanded upon later!     Childhood - Garlemald Corelyn was born the single daughter to a relatively wealthy couple: Aeolus and Marcia nan Bellor. Both were fairly well-known in engineering circles throughout Garlemald for the quality of their trade, the family's business having been innovative magitek weaponry, especially in mass-producible technology such as firearms and other such gun-based weapons. From an early age, Corelyn displayed an incredible aptitude for magitek, including the advanced practices and designs belonging to her family as she grew older and more experienced with it. Through her early life, she was raised, schooled, and lead through her life as any pure-blooded child of the Empire. She was put through a particularly rigorous education, though with her parents' ardent support and her own boundless capability for absorbing knowledge, she excelled far more than she could be challenged. Of all her earlier lessons, however, most emphasised were the nationalist - nigh jingoist - ideals of Garlemald: The folly of the lesser nations, how best to play out her role and purpose within the Empire, and of the Empire's supremacy and ultimate mission to subjugate and save the savage, uncultured lands that lie beyond Garlemald's borders - especially Eorzea, riddled with its false gods and irascible beast-man tribes.     Early Adulthood - The VIIth Legion The young girl's prodigal talent roused interest when Nael van Darnus's VIIth Legion was to march upon Eorzea. As she reached adulthood, at her parents' prompting, enlisted in the VIIth. At first, served proudly, until she slowly realized just where all she had been taught was flawed. Present at the Battle of Carteneau, she was left for dead in the wake of devastation left by Bahamut, only to be taken prisoner not long after.     Post-Calamity - Aiouxdaux and the White Coeurl Eventually, she escaped and made her way blindly for the sea, starving, wounded and desperate. She was eventually taken in by Aiouxdaux Beaumont and his crew after proving she meant no harm. For her time aboard the White Coeurl, she served as the crew's Garlean expert, helping to reverse-engineer Garlean magitek at sea and helping to keep them safe, all the while learning more about the curious Eorzeans. After the fateful crash, she took up a room in the Drowned Wench in Limsa Lominsa, having officially registered herself as "defector" under the Thalassocracy, though she remains hidden for fear of people's - and her own - fear of her own people.     Recent History - Life in Eorzea To this day, she works in a workshop of her own in Camp Bronze Lake with what resources she can muster in hopes of providing aid to the hard-pressed Eorzeans, that they may better understand and develop countermeasures to the advances and methods of the Empire. Additional RP Hooks These can be used with discrimination and within reason, even if you don't know her! Please mention in whisper or OOC chat before you approach if you are going off these so this can be ascertained and/or planned out well!
