[edit] Character History Interactions Rumors Roleplay Hooks Miscellaneous APPEARANCE Error creating thumbnail: File missing Sokhani's sleeve tattoo. Sokhani is a tall, at least for an Auri woman, fighting sort. Her eyes are naturally slanted into a harsh glare and her lips thin. She often gives the appearance of an eternal scowl or harbors a heavy case of the grumpies with her already angular facial construction. Her chin especially leads a dagger-like point, and the warpaint she carefully applies every sun does not make her uncompromising look any softer. Her hair always remains perfectly straight and thick with a grayish coloration. What sorcery keeps it this way Sokhani could never say. It would seem a hue of green managed to make its way into a few segments of her hair as well, but she would refute this claim! The woman's attire changes from casual open shirts and shorts to heavy armors and training gear, but she is never without a earthy brown hue to her clothing. She favors the color along with golds and oranges. She is most often seen in training raiment with short to no sleeves and a aggressive facial mask. She gives different reasons for why she wears such a thing, but each reason always seems to roundabout to she simply likes its design. Along for the ride are two worn jamadhars that she swears she keeps repaired but obviously does not. The weapons are quite large and are more akin to push-broadswords rather than daggers. While her right arm bears no remarkable feature other than her pronounced muscle definition, the left can be seen covered entirely with a tattoo that, at first glance, may appear the same as her natural scales. This tattoo covers her arm from shoulder to wrist and it is described by Sokhani as a marking of her mastery. The mastery displayed can seen throughout her body, if it is ever laid bare. Her shoulders, upper arms, and forearms are all especially chiseled from constant use of weighted jamadhars. Her upper back and abdominal muscles showcase the same sort of build, though it is a bit less extreme. Even with these developments, her body manages to remain compact and properly proportioned. Her training focuses entirely on keeping her upper body balanced with her lower and to keep muscles from interfering with what speed she has. The Au Ra also suffers, so she says, from increased scale growth. Her face, while heavily covered in the armor, is not too unusual. Her hands do, however, end up with scales that run just past her knuckles and used to give her difficulty in making full fists. Several stray scales have also found themselves upon the flats of her digits, giving her hands an extremely rugged look. The scales are not just for show either. Each scale on her arms, legs, and tail is formed of multiple teeth-like protrusions that flow upward. While trailing fingers from her wrist to shoulder, ankle to calf, or tail end to base will be met with no issue, doing so in reverse is quite a fantastic way to lose flesh. The scales besides these carry a rather gritty texture, mostly harmless with the exception of a burning sensation should one rub against them, though they flow in much the same way otherwise. This leads to the Au Ra covering herself up as much as possible and gives her a feather light touch with friends and intimate ones in her life.

Khudus Malqir ( 👻 ) - Teacher and Friend Error creating thumbnail: File missing Khudus was Sokhani's first true mentor. He came to the Malqir clan without a tribe, but with an art unlike what many had seen. The abilities he taught were only shared with a specific few. Sokhani, while hated by her mother and tolerated by her father, was one of the few chosen. Kharanai was also taken under Khudus' wing. The two sisters were both tattooed by their teacher and are, possibly, the only two remaining with this particular design and meaning. Khudus fell in battle against the Garleans while the Malqir migrated to another camp. The rebellion at Doma had spread some pockets of Garlean influence outward near, and into the steppes. While the arts of destruction proved to fell some, guns and magitek atrocities ultimately claimed his life. Eadric Hrunting ( ⚖ ) - Teacher of Astral Fists Error creating thumbnail: File missing Coming soon. Sigilinde Bladeknuckle ( ⚖ ) - Teacher of Umbral Blades Error creating thumbnail: File missing Coming soon. P L A Y E R   C H A R A C T E R S Kharanai Malqir ( 💗 ♥ ⚯ 🌟 ) - From Farthest to Closest Kharanai is Sokhani's biological sister, and the closest woman to Sokhani by far. The two shared distance, and possibly one-sided hatred on Sokhani's end until Sokhani left the Malqir Tribe. Kharanai came along with her, even though Sokhani wished the worst for her sister. Over the year and a half they spent alone as vagabonds, and later, eluding Garlean influence, they grew closer and closer. Sokhani and Kharanai might be too close for their blood relation, but that does not stop them regardless. At the very least, Sokhani refers to their relationship as, "twisted sisters." Over a few moons of Eorzean life, Sokhani and Kharanai began to seek training above their own mastery. Under the advice of Adalhaid, they moved their temporary residence to Mor Dhona and met with the trainers of Astral Fists and Umbral Blades. Eadric and Sigilinde were instructors on the same level of Khudus, and the sisters took well to the duo's teachings. Yet, upon the cusp of their final lesson, Kharanai was robbed of her right arm's use. Growing even closer to her sister in this vulnerable time, Sokhani and Kharanai began to sleep while cradling each other's wounds with the palms of their hands. Sokhani's new vow was clear then: to bring Kharanai's arm back to her. To make Kharanai feel like she was herself again. She will go to any length to do this, even if it hurts. Sokhani has taken Kharanai's likeliness into a tattoo of a lapis flame. Mingling with her scales of mastery, and feeding along fiery wisps that trail towards her heart, Kharanai is one of the embers that drives strength into Sokhani's soul. Of course, without Kharanai's own hand, the mark would have no connection. In this line of thought, Sokhani granted her sister the honor of adding the color herself. Adalhaid Rask ( 💘 💗 🌟 ⚖ ) - Fists of Iron Error creating thumbnail: File missing Adalhaid, or Ada as Sokhani simply calls her, is Sokhani's first friend since her journey to Ul'dah. Met while Adalhaid was set to guard an entrance way for gil, the two sparred after speaking over styles and arts. There was no victor decided, and the two were ever reluctant to say they had a direct advantage. Sokhani has been directly taught the power behind Adalhaid's fists, both with and without her Chakra unleashed. In doing so, Sokhani proceeded to unlock her first Chakra and begin training in Mor Dhona. Before Sokhani's training in the ways of the Fists of Rhalgr began, the two began to understand the feelings they felt for one another. They have since begun a relationship, vowing to stay together no matter how complicated it may end up becoming. Sokhani has taken Adalhaid's likeliness into a tattoo of a crimson flame. Just over her heart, it powers all of the fiery wisps that trail towards her arms. Adalhaid's ember may very well be what drives Sokhani's heart to be strong and powerful. Of course, without Adalhaid's own hand, the mark would have no connection. In this line of thought, Sokhani granted the Highlander the honor of adding the color herself. L'anaya Tyqi ( 💘 💗 🌟 ) - A Nostalgic Feeling Error creating thumbnail: File missing Coming soon! Kimiko Mototsuka ( 💗 🌟 ) - Green and White Kimoko, the first Raen Sokhani ever granted an audience with and also the very first Raen she did not call, "Whitescales." Sokhani shares a respect for the woman due to her departure from the Raen stereotype she'd grown to dislike so heavily. A drinking partner at the least, and a great friend at the most, Kimiko is never greeted with distaste or distrust. Far be it, Kimiko holds a unique spot in Sokhani's circle, one that would be hard to fill by any other. It's also hard to poke and cover other people's foreheads or faces without repercussion, something Sokhani does to Kimiko often enough. After regaining her heart and learning of the friends she loves and holds dear, Sokhani asked Kimiko to do something she'd never allowed any other aside from Khudus to do: to ink her body. Sokhani desired fires along her chest, her arms, and her back. After the wispy red laced with her dusky blue skin, Sokhani wished for Kimiko to lay her own emerald green into an ember. Kimiko's fire now sits amongst yellow and blue, just as Sokhani wished it to. Ajuerbekai Qalli ( 💗 🌟 ) - An Affectionate Songbird Error creating thumbnail: File missing Coming soon!

Una Poki ( ● ) - The Gardener Coming soon! Natalie Mertens ( 👻 🌟 ) - The Everchanging Natalie is Sokhani's second direct contact in Ul'dah, and one who grew closer to her than she'd allowed any other. Natalie and Sokhani share a relationship that struggles, at least in Sokhani's mind, to remain friendly without growing further. She refuses to allow it to grow to romantics due to her own insecurities over her own tendencies. She is unsure if Natalie is close to her because she is attracted to her, or if she merely feels fondness due to Natalie being the first woman to offer her heart after so much loneliness was endured. L'anaya was the one to gift her the information that Natalie had since perished. Sokhani still yearns to see Natalie again, but the dire understanding of never being able to caused her to grieve for bells. Serese Gahya ( ✖ ) - A Woman With a Diamond Eye Sokhani was introduced to Serese while Sokhani attempted to cover Kimiko's face with her right hand. An odd introduction, but not unpleasant! Serese and Sokhani became fast friends afterward, enjoying their time with alcohol and stories. The two have sparred, enjoyed a beach trip, and have defeated depression together. As the two continued to speak, Serese began to learn Sokhani's martial art, and after further interaction the two realized they shared mutual attraction. Their romance was a failure and Sokhani made many mistakes in her misguided attempts at love. The end to their friendship was brought about by this failure, though Sokhani has learned much about her self and others during these times of turmoil. R U M O R S N O N - P L A Y E R   C H A R A C T E R S Some of these rumors are untrue, speculation, or are greatly exaggerated. Common Rumors - Easily overheard. Use these freely! ■ "Sokhani? You mean the girl who sits outside the Quicksand in the alley? Shady. Only word I have for her." — Adventurer. ■ "I seen 'er out in the rain. She jus' stares up at it r'summat like that. Gets them leathers all soggy." — Quicksand Goer. ■ "You seen those sword things at her sides? You suppose they're punch blades or something?" — Pugilist Guild Initiate. Uncommon Rumors - A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first! ■ "I think I've seen a woman matching that description before. She usually heads out to Western Thanalan's regions and always returns in two to three bells time." — Brass Blade Guardsman. ■ "I've overheard Sokhani talking over drinks about her combat style. Says she can't help but kill? That's an outright lie because I spar with her all the time..." — Pugilist Guild Initiate. ■ "That girl can't hold her liquor for shite. Drinks like four tall glasses of strawberry brandy and then flops about like a cooked noodle." — Quicksand Patron. Rare Rumors - Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using! ■ ■ ■ P L A Y E R   C H A R A C T E R S Feel free to add your own rumors to this section. Player Character Rumors -Some of these are more rare than others! ☄ R O L E P L A Y   H O O K S The points below are a few ideas that could bring characters together for RP situations. Have other ideas? Potential rumor mill plots? Shoot me a tell! I'm not an evil dark lord hell bent on destroying you. That's just a hobby anyway. Early Suns and the Malqir Tribe ❂ Are you of the Malqir tribe who never wished to be displaced? Do you know of Sokhani's past with the tribe? Are you one of the respected members of the tribe who could never grow past her disrespect? Instant conflict, instant hatred. Who needs friends when good enemies can lead to intense RP situations! ❂ Perhaps you know of Sokhani's secrets all ready and never told any other. How you learned these secrets, through her mother's rage or otherwise, is up to you. This would give Sokhani an ally, or perhaps even some closure to her days in the Malqir Tribe. ❂ Are you trained in the same style of martial arts as Sokhani, perhaps by the same practitioner her sister and she learned from? Perhaps you recall her dedication to the art, or even scorn her for her applications of it! Vagabond Life and Escape From Othard ❂ Sokhani and her sister, Kharanai, escaped by boat to Eorzea with several others. One could have met her there and recall her for her fiery temper towards a teasing sister. ❂ Garleans are Sokhani's most hated individuals, and she has fought with a few before on her way to Eorzea. Perhaps a Garlean would still be looking for her either for a scar caused, items stolen, or for a simple revenge plot! ❂ As with other Xaela who might have been ousted by Dotharl or Garlean influence, perhaps you've seen her fight, sneak about, or even trade in her vagabond life. Present Time ❂ Sokhani is often in the alleyway leading to the Quicksand in rain or pounding sun. ❂ Are you racist, sexist, or generally hate her type? It's not a bad thing to have Sokhani in an unpleasant situation from time to time! ❂ Do you train that the Pugilists Guild? Sokhani often visits to speak with others and spar. ❂ Have you seen Sokhani training down in the valley of Western Thanalan? She is often there for over three bells a sun. ❂ Sokhani can't hold her alcohol well, but she certainly does love to drink. Drinking buddies are never turned away! Nabbed from Tsaganarii Dhoro, love you. Template was adapted from Bancroft Gairn, Xheja Rajhera, Unnamed Mercenary, D'lyhhia Lhuil and Glioca Sargonnai.
