GENERAL INFORMATION
APPEARANCE
With short-cropped hair the bold color of red and green eyes forever glinting in calm amusement, Odile paints a rather pretty picture when first taken in at a glance. Though her grooming as well as bearing is by no means impeccable enough to be of noble origin she none the less could be considered passingly pretty to some individuals. Though it is apparent upon closer glance that she carries small bits of wear and tear that when placed in conjunction with her personality almost make her out to be older than she truly is. Her hands are calloused things, hardened from years upon years of manual labor and having long since lost the attractive smoothness that is so prized by the ladies of virtue within her home city-state of Ishgard. Small little ink stains line her fingers as testament to her trade, as well as little black pitched areas along her forearms which she will laughingly describe as a lesson in alchemy gone wrong.
- ■ Pronounced limp in her left leg. If one were to spy her without any coverings they would see that a huge chunk of flesh seemed to have been removed, leaving the leg a twisted mass of scar tissue.
- ■ Long fingers covered in callouses.
- ■ A twisted, yet thin, scar that edges down her left brow and ends halfway down the same cheek.
- ■ Her forearms have black splotches interspersed all the way to her elbow, with the largest starting just above her delicate wrists. (Silver nitrate splotches.)

INVENTORY
- ■ Gil-Pouch. A standard gil pouch, with a small embossed 'O' on the side. Capable of carrying around 500 gil at any one time.
- ■ Flask of Brandy. A discreet little bottle with a few swigs of brandy that the businesswoman partakes of in stressful situations.
- ■ Chest. Only seen on market days, it's used to carry the proceeds of each successful bazaar back to the bank.
- ■ Handkerchief. Fairly standard and useful for a variety of situations.
- ■ Quill. A hawk-feather quill with a silver tipped nub at the end. Perhaps the most expensive item she carries on her person at any given time.
- ■ Food Bag. She tends to keep a goodie or two stashed away when out and about, never sure when she will next be able to sit down for a meal. It usually contains dried fruit slices.
- ■ Ink-Well. An ink well that contains a mixture of aetherical and normal ink, making is useful in various deals she might be cutting.
- ■ Flask of Water. For when dehydration threatens.
- ■ Linkpearls. Kept inlaid within her earrings so they might be toggled with ease. New ones tend to be held in one of her various pouches until they can be added to the setting.
- ■ Sprig of Lavender. Hygiene is fairly important to the Ishgardian woman and while she abhors the pungent aromas perfumes tend to give off, she keeps a sprig or bag of crushed lavender with her at all times to help do away with the unwashed smell that tends to be found in most cities.
- ■ Pain Numbing Tonic. To help when the pain in her leg threatens to overwhelm.
- ■ Signet of Halone. Kept in a side pouch upon her belt at all times, only pulled out for devotionals and various prayers Odile might be in need of making.
COMBAT & WEAPONRY
Odile was once a rather proficient fighter with an axe and broadsword, cleaving her enemies in twain with deadly precision and ability. Due to an incident near Witch Drop several years prior however that she still speaks of only in hushed tones, the woman is essentially handicapped and incapable of the range of movements needed to perform as such again. The upper portion of her left leg is made up in a restraining brace and the skin underneath is deeply marred and gouged, looking akin to what would expect from a dragon's maw latching onto the delicate appendage. It affects the way she walks and the way she moves, making actual combat a strained affair that leaves her in more pain than not and often unable to move the next day. On the doctor's orders she has willingly refrained from any strenuous activities involving combat for the past few years, prioritizing her overall wellbeing and changing her life style to ensure that less fights are likely to happen.
However due to her profession, knowledge of the blade is still very much relevant in her life and just because she is incapable of drawn out bouts of strength does not mean she has foregone fighting entirely. While she has lost some of her prowess due to her choices regarding the wounds upon her leg, she is still a force to be reckoned with and will bring out her old weaponry on occasion. Though even she knows that she is more liability than asset as it stands.

■Mythril Bhuj Foregoing the large axes of her youth, Odile none the less still keeps a middling Bhuj within good working condition stowed away at her office. It only is brought out when the need is greatest however. ■Hand Hatchet Kept on her person at all times, this hatchet is too small to do much in the way of overt damage, but still provides a nasty surprise for any stupid enough to engage in a tussle. It also doubles as part of her work kit when checking on inventory, making the handle appear well used. ■Several stowed daggers. It's the knife you don't see that will kill you. In her line of work it always pays to be prepared, and she does her best to make sure she has something surprising up her sleeve or down her boots when diplomacy fails. |

OOC NOTES
Player Note I have a very clear distinction when it comes to OOC/IC. They must remain separate at all times if we are to RP together, especially on an extended basis and I reserve the right to end interactions should this be impeded upon. I've been burnt heavily by people mistaking IC care and OOC friendship and attention with romantic regard and honestly I don't wish to go through another such debacle once more. If my character dislikes yours that does not mean I hold the same sentiment. If my character loves yours that does not translate to me feeling the same for you, though I might feel a platonic equivalent. I am not my characters and they are not me. Respect this and we shall get along famously. Personal RP Limits I don't have very many hardcore limits honestly as I feel consequences must be adhered to when RPing any character regardless of whom they might be. However there are a few exceptions to this and they are as follows.
Disclaimer Little Tidbits.

Potential Plot Hooks While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP.
Character Lore Adherence Information in this Wiki is Lore Compliant to the best of my knowledge. Information that has been changed to better fit with the lore of XIV will be listed below as necessary.
Tropes & Explanations A trope is a convention or device that is often found in creative works. In this case, the tropes below describe the character either in part, or as a whole. Their background, personality, appearance, etc, most of them can be described in the tropes below. This section is still a work in progress. |
