Rukira Michaelis

Rukira Michaelis

The Living Dead

❝ If a man dedicates his life to good deeds and the welfare of others, he will die unthanked and unremembered. If he exercises his genius bringing misery and death to billions, his name will echo down through the millennia for a hundred lifetimes. Infamy is always more preferable to ignominy. ❞

General Information ----PUT A GENERAL OUTLOOK ON LIFE HERE---- ❝ '"Death compels us because powerful or weak, loved or hated -- no one escapes death. That includes you. The dead will rise. And you are connected to them all." ❞ Appearance Hair & Eyes Two striking eyes of Lavender, Rukira always holds a judgmental look about her as if peering through a facade. Her blonde hair is thick just beyond her back, but is typically kept up in polite company and battle. Physique & Markings A rather young looking woman for her age, the Midlander blood within her is apparent with such a round face and short features. Rumors carry about how she has lost her eye at a young age, but her body suspiciously does not hold a single scar to it. Hygiene & Attire Rukira molds to her situation, though she prefers to wear light armor she is capable of throwing on an elegant appearance for the socialite scene. Tending to wear darker clothing, the woman merely observes it as more convenient. Personality Psychological Profile INTJ. The Architect. INTJs are defined by their tendency to move through life as though it were a giant chess board, pieces constantly shifting with consideration and intelligence, always assessing new tactics, strategies and contingency plans, constantly outmaneuvering their peers in order to maintain control of a situation while maximizing their freedom to move about. Voice Prideful and strong, the woman speaks like nobility. However, when intoxicated her Mhigan accent tends to shine. Ideal voice choice:Maaya Sakamoto Philosophy & Mannerisms Life is replaceable and the only person that matters in the world is herself. She is not above doing what needs to be done, regardless of what others may think of it. Yet, she's a reserved woman who bides her time and waits for the perfect opportunity to strike.

Combat, Abilities & Weaponry Basic Statistics Extreme: Constitution & Strength High: Wisdom Above Average: Intelligence Average: Dexterity Low: Charisma Aetheric Abilities Mastery: Aether Drains Expert: Manipulation of Aether Average: Binding Novice: Teleportation Weapon Training Mastery: large Blades or Axes Expert: Hand to Hand Average: Blade and Shield, Lances Novice: Marksmanship Combat Relevant Skills High: High Pain Tolerance Above Average: Better to Be Feared Than Loved Average: Aether Resistance Low: Revels in Murder Non-Combat Abilities ● Indomitable: Through trials and tribulations very little disturbs or concerns Rukira. With a mask of apathy, the Highlander rarely shows kindness unless to those she's close to. This gives her a clear conscience on the field of battle with no moral hesitation. Combat Abilities ● Abyssal Desolation: A wide seal beneath Rukira will expand as massive spikes dig into the air lashing hungry for Aether. All targets within the range of AoE will lose energy which will be pulled back into the Knight herself. Allies and enemies alike will all be targeted with this move. ● Tout Petit Moineau: Attuned to the darkness within, jagged spikes of ebony will emerge from the ground as life around it wilts. A targeted character will be bound for two whole rounds struggling to break free from its grasp as they are slowly dragged down into a portal of the abyss. If the struggling target does not break their binds, they take insurmountable damage. Others cannot help break said bind, if they attempt to touch or interact they will phase through the spikes. OOC Note I prefer the honor system when it's one on one, but rolls for the sake of time when it's a larger group!

FAMILY Galien Hellheart, Father. ( ♥ ♦ ) Rukira's Thoughts: "My father never told me how to live, he showed me." A man with nothing but the back on his shirt and his family at his side, they flee'd Ala Mhigo as it fell to ruin. Fortunate enough to get a job with the Wood Wailers, he managed to smooth talk his way with perhaps a bit of showmanship. A busy man that worked hard to provide for his family, he taught his two children how to defend themselves. Currently he is retired in the Lavender Beds, but manages to make it out and train the new recruits that roll in. A respected man in the community, but over all a forgettable one. Kesta Hellheart, Mother. ( ♥ ♦ ✝ ) Rukira's Thoughts: "My mother was the epithet of 'grace'. Her smile would light up the room and cold men's hearts, there is not many good men in this world, but she was one of them." As her husband Galien worked in the Shroud, Kesta had a stronger passion to do good in the world. Moving to Ul'dah, she would open a free clinic to help fellow refugees, the poor, and citizens alike. Her two children followed her and would help run it, occasionally visiting their beloved father in the off seasons. Only living off of what donations were given, it was a hard and stressful life, but knowing she could help others was all that she asked for. Kesta was a kind and strong woman, the one that instilled the love of art and music into her children where as her husband felt the need to teach them to fight. Sirius Hellheart, Brother. ( ♥ ♦ ✝ ) Dovienya's Thoughts: "My other half, Sirius was my shining light and my brother. I loved him with every fiber of my being, and he was beyond words perfect." Rukira's twin brother, the two were inseparable. While they followed their mother to Thanalan, Sirius had a keen understanding of healing magic much like his mother. Rukira, however, did not and was stuck mostly ordering supplies and seeing to patients. In their free time they'd run with a small gang of local kids run by a small Keeper by the name Gaerwn. His sister was overbearing, always wishing to protect him with a kind smile much like their mother. He hated it, and he hated her.

( ♥ ♦ ✝ ) Rukira's Thoughts: "I barely knew the man, but knew he was my father's best friend. He always had stories to tell and was full of life." Working beneath Galien with the Wailers, Roland and he were a force to be reckoned with. In times of comfort and pain, they stuck through it all. Roland was thus appointed God father to Galien's children and likewise to his own. Unfortunately the man passed when Rukira was 24 leaving behind a magnificent legacy of being one of the most jovial person she has ever met. But, behind those carefree eyes lurked boiling spite. Leon Michaelis, First Husband. ( ♥ ღ ✝ ) Rukira's Thoughts: "I became a part of his life, forcing my way inside like an unmistakable draft of cold air. I sought revenge, but in the end...I was quite taken with him." Lord Leon Michaelis was a simple man, once that wore a heart on his sleeve as he did a childish grin. He was easy to sway, looking upon the beauty of Rukira. Even as a poor and undeserving woman he took her under his wing and evolved her into a proper woman of etiquette. They soon married at her young age of seventeen and expected their life together to be full of love, children, and happiness. But, things never work out how you intend them to. Hunter Michaelis, Father In-law. ( ♥ ♠ ✝ ) Rukira's Thoughts: "HE TOOK EVERYTHING FROM ME, EVERYTHING." Head of the household, Lord Michaelis ran a business of Alchemists. Stealing from the poor with watered down potions and the like, he made a fortune off of the unfortunate. However, when a free healing clinic managed to open up, well.. that was certainly bad for business, wasn't it? "Sirius", The Voice of Guilt. ( ♠ ✖) Rukira's Thoughts: "The voice that lurked within me for years. If only I was strong enough to not let him fill me with doubt." After the untimely death of her brother, a voice cried in the back of her mind asking for vengeance. For her to right the wrongs in the world and find him peace. Calling himself 'Sirius' much like her own brother, Rukira was under the impression it was truly him from the dead. She would heed his call, attempting to find a new body for him as she'd act as his host. Over time, the Voidkin within her began to corrupt her form slowly killing her from the inside.

NON-FAMILY Anagna Kenesa, The Shadow. ( ☀) - Selfish Child. Rukira's Thoughts: "A disruptive and self adsorbed child, he cares not what he does nor says. Maybe one day it will catch up to him." --- Black Lily, The Mercenary. ( $ ● ) - Weak Hearted. Rukira's Thoughts: "Unable to finish a simple job simply because it involved an unborn child, I had to spend further resources to clean up her mess. But, she is crafty in her work. Perhaps with some time and mentor ship.. she may be a fine asset indeed." --- Cemi Jinfeh, The Quandary. ( ✔ ♦ $ ) - Doll of Two Faces. Rukira's Thoughts: "The woman binds me to this world, without her I cease to exist." --- Dovienya Cuenn, The Rose. ( ♡ $ ✔ ) - Poisonous Embrace. Rukira's Thoughts: "She has what I have been missing in my life. I know she aims to kill me when I become useless to her, it is a mutual agreement that is spoken through our eyes. I look forward to the ruin that we have promised one another and may the Hells accept us." ---. Dartanon Nobis, The Altruist. ( ♦ ✔ $ ) - Draco. Rukira's Thoughts: "Draco was always a man trying to be the best that he could and had such a distaste for injustice. Through our time together we learned to grow close to one another as friends. I had hoped he too would offer me salvation and give me rest from this wicked world." --- Elam Al'vain, The Immortal. ( $ ● ♠ ) - Affable Sniper. Rukira's Thoughts: "A man of his word and great skill, I see the promise of a beautiful future ahead. I also quite like his hat." --- Gaerwn Lamperouge, The Mask. ( ♦ $ ✔ ) - Apathetic Bookkeeper. Rukira's Thoughts: "A man of little words, his silence always gives me guidance. We have been friends since childhood, and though he has a habit of .. running away quite often.. he knows that I am always here when needed. He is like my rock in this torrent of chaos." --- Ingrid LaChance, The Black Wyrm. ( ♦ $ ✔ ) - Wildcard. Rukira's Thoughts: "A woman with such raw, untouched power. If only she would use it just so, her and I may be a duo to be feared." --- J'ato Tia, The Conniving. ( ★ $ ) - Charming Snake. Rukira's Thoughts: "The man certainly has a way with words, a talent that I have taken advantage of. He deals with a lot of the 'front end' of business, smoothing over clients and that like. Cemi seems very fond of him in a rather unhealthy way, I'm curious what hold he has over her." -- Jeannot Fondebrodeur, The Needle of Fate. ( $ ✔ ? ) - Void Sociopath. Rukira's Thoughts: "A curious man, not even death seems to sate the emptiness within him. Regardless, he pays well and is amusing company. May we be center stage to a tragedy of the ages." --- Khashim Sunderfist, The Hound. ( ♡ ∞ ✔ ♠ ) - Soul Bound Warrior. Rukira's Thoughts: "What does one say when they look in the mirror and see themselves? Khashim is my equal in battle. Where I lift the blade, he the shaft, we are like one upon the field of blood and decay. What a marvelous sight for all to glance upon the visage. They say you wander the land lost, looking for your partner in war for that you may be whole. I have found him." --. L'ra Rhel, The Initiate. ( ● ) - Red Fox. Rukira's Thoughts: "I know not what to make of the girl. Will she be useful in the days to come, or another disappointment? Time will tell and in the mean time she is rather impressive with that axe of hers. I smell desperation and desire to grow stronger, let us make a deal with the devil." --- L'ysion Tia, The Magus. ( ✔ ♡ ♦ ) - Prodigy. Rukira's Thoughts: "I would do anything for him, test my words and you will find yourself in a shallow grave." ---- Livia Crane, The Pup. ( ● ) - Unknown. Rukira's Thoughts: "I am curious what she holds over Dovienya for the two to be married. A pretty body, sure, but I do hope she is house trained." --. Marcus Feral, The Captain. ( ✖ ) - Fabricated Identity Rukira's Thoughts: "Someday the man will truly embrace his rotten core instead of dancing around patching holes in his words. I cannot deal with a man that lies to hide his true self, it is despicable." ---. Matina Kath'lani, The Scarlet Twin. ( $ ♠) - "...". Rukira's Thoughts: "The girl shoves her nose in business it ought not to be. For now, I keep a wary eye on her. She must not find him. " -- Priam Crowther, The Knight. ( ✖ ) - Fate Bender Rukira's Thoughts: "The boy knows not whose garden he tramples. Perhaps a lesson is in order." -- S'datih Nunh, The Wanderer. ( ✔ ♦ ) - Forsaken One. Rukira's Thoughts: "S'datih wanders often searching for a purpose. One day he may find it, for now I offer him a warm home to take shelter from the cold. He's a good fighter and humble company." --. S'vokani Khei, The Huntress. ( ♠ $ ♦ ) - Elusive Coeurl. Rukira's Thoughts: "Her and I worked for many years. She has a nasty habit of leaving for a time without a word, one day appearing within your house blood soaked and covered in corpses. This has happened twice now." ---. Sabathius Kath'Lani, The Sinner. ( $ ✔ ∞ ♡ ღ ) - Scarlet Blade. Rukira's Thoughts: "My soul mate. The other half to an impossible puzzle that makes the gears capable of moving. Without him I was lost, but with him we are whole and complete. I have never understood love, felt it. But, with him? I question myself. " ---. Serick Aster, The Jaded. ( $ ✔ ♦ ♡ ) - Melancholy Vagabond. Rukira's Thoughts: "The old man has depth behind those eyes of his. He is someone I can always rely upon and we make quite the team if I can say so myself." ---. Shezha Kohun, The Illusionist. ( ♦ ✔ ♠ ) - Naive Dreamer. Rukira's Thoughts: "A girl with the weight of the world on her shoulders. She wishes to ease the burden of all and end their suffering. Optimistic, but foolish. A waste, she has such potential to be a magnificent mage." ----. S'lharum Nunh, The Deceiver. ( ♦ ✔ ♠ ♡ ) - Kiss of Death. Rukira's Thoughts: "He thinks small. Destroy the Zu tribe for revenge? There is a bigger painting with him as my paint and I the brush. We will cause ruin to these lands." ---. Talan Dracht, The Rube. ( ♦ ✔ ) - Chocobo Knight. Rukira's Thoughts: "My dearest friend. When I am with him, all my worries..doubt.. anger-It vanishes. He brings a side out of me that both makes me feel uncomfortable and young once more." ---. Tyonis Magstrom, The Mongrel. ( $ ✔ ) - Uncompromising Mercenary. Rukira's Thoughts: "A reliable man both of mind and blade. We do business often when our crosses pass and he has yet to let me down." ----. Varus Adelric Rosenthal, The Alchemist. ( ✔ ✝ ღ $ ) - Seeker of Truths. Rukira's Thoughts: "He had promised to give it all back. To fix everything. In the end I had lost him and was left alone in this cruel world without his kind heart." ----. Viper LaChance, The Butcher. ( $ ✔ ♦ ) - Eager for Bloodlust. Rukira's Thoughts: "He is obedient, skilled, and clever. I could not ask for more in a man that steps within my shadow." -----

Rumors NPC Rumors Some of these rumors are untrue, speculation, or are greatly exaggerated. ◢ Common Rumors - Easily overheard. Use these freely! ■ "Lady Michaelis? She donates often to charities for the Conjurer's Guild, such a kind soul." — Cleric ■ "I see the woman often at socialite events, she always looks so distant and cold. Ahhh so beautiful!" — Nobleman ■ "Mistress Kira is the soul survivor of the Michaelis estate. Poor thing, to be widowed so young. A miracle she retained no scars from that huge fire- I remember seeing it from the Wench in Limsa." — Bar Maiden ◢ Uncommon Rumors - A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first! ■ "Rogue Mage hunter, that one is. Best play nice or the Knight will be breathin' down yer neck." — Thaumaturge Disciple. ■ "Woman like her should be hung from the gallows, if you ask me. Bet the Blade's pockets are right and heavy with coin.." — Resident around Goblet. ■ "Aye, the Michaelis lass? You hear many ridiculous rumors 'bout the gal. 'Course folk would make shite up 'bout the unexplained. My favorite has to be that she came back from the dead. Heh, wankers." — Random Brass Blade. ◢ Rare Rumors - Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using! ■ "She use to work with the mage Varus, no? One day he goes missing and not a peep from her, some bodyguard she is. Now she hangs around this creepy man in a mask. Ugh, weird tastes." — Bar Patron ■ "Kira is the name you go lookin' for when you got a problem no one else is willin' to deal with. Just be prepared to pay a hefty fee, or so they say." Mercenary ■ "T-they say the woman sucks the blood of innocents. See her walkin' 'round with that blade on 'er? Not a Gods damned SCRATCH- the woman best be a Demon if I ever saw one.." — Nervous Merchant PC Rumors Feel free to add your own rumors to this section. ◢ Player Character Rumors - Some of these are more rare than others! ■ "I have seen what that woman was wrought, the things she has done. I fear no man, but she is something else, something that no one could possibly fully understand." — Viper LaChance. ■ "She's a fuckin' psycho is what she is. Don't know what happened to mess her up so bad, and I don't care. I do know she's the toughest girl I've ever met, and someone I actually enjoy drinking with." — Serick Aster. ■ "Everyone 's scared o' 'er cause she can be sort o' mean an' scary, but... she's jus' like any ol' other person. Kind, carin', got 'er soft spots. Jus' takes a lil bit o' time an' patience ta get ta 'em." He leans in closer. "I also think she's actually some sort o' killer-assassin but ah can' prove it." — Talan Dracht ■ "She makes my skin crawl and I hate when she looks at me, but don't let that fool you. Between you and me, she has a collection of cute plushies in her room. The old woman has a soft spot after all.." — Cemi Jinfeh ■ "She's quite eye-catching, but perhaps not for the reasons you might think. Yes, she's beautiful--- that's the surface. It's the feeling of anxiousness that I get when she stares at me. There's something dangerous beneath the surface--- far too dangerous. That's why I chose her as my retainer: because ultimately that deadliness will come in handy." — Jeannot Fondebrodeur ■ "Kira? You're inquiring about Rukira Michaelis? Be it a business inquiry, or a bounty on your head? We can sit and speak if it the former. But if it the latter, my advice friend would be to get away from here as far as possible. Find the biggest rock to hide under, the steepest hill you can climb, or the sturdiest walls you can hide behind. For when that woman has her sights set on you, there is no stopping until the job is done. Entertain me and be the first to prove me wrong." He paused with a smile. "T'would be a shame for the crows to pick off the reapers scraps." — L'ysion Tia

RP Info Location & Probability Places where the character is very likely to be seen ■ The Shroud: Medium ■ Gridania: Low ■ Thanalan: High ■ Ishgard: Medium ■ Ul'dah: High ■ Coerthas: Low ■ Dravania: Low ■ Limsa Lominsa: Low ■ La Noscea: Low ■ Ala Mhigo: Medium ■ Gyr Abania: Low ■ Doma: Low Affiliations Most of these aren’t public, and would have to be asked after! ■ City-State, Region or Organization: Affiliation reason/purpose. ● Ul'dahni Syndicate: House Michaelis is a prestigious family of merchants spanning generations past in the Alchemist trade. Selling cures to the sick and poor, their rich estate is built upon the back of those less fortunate. Because coin buys an ear in Ul'dah, the Syndicate is one string Rukira uses lightly. Mostly to garner information if need be, or let them turn a blind eye to the less.. favorable habits of hers. As long as the gold flows, they care not. ● House Fondebrodeur: The sole survivor of his name, Jeannot Fondebroduer has hired Rukira to be his personal body guard. Meeting her some time ago they became mutual friends from a charity model event. Her gaze never quite left the man and now the two have a rather profitable partnership. ● Obsidian Court: The Obsidian Court is full of many resources, if not for their well kept secrets to their talented mercenaries, Rukira relies upon them from time to time to take up work. A close relationship of their leader Dovienya was bonded early on, and out of respect she stays neutral where the Court is concerned as tempting as it may be. ● House Rosenthal: As a younger woman first getting on her feet after the untimely death of her late husband, Varus Rosenthal approached her with the most wonderful opportunity. Work for him and be the eyes on his back, and he will grant her any wish imaginable. The two worked closely for a time, wandering eyes may even catch glimpses of affection for one another. They were inseparable and Varus changed many things about her life. One day, he had mysteriously vanished leaving his estate and fortune in his lover's name. ● The Immortals: A mysterious group of gunmen and their leader only known by the name 'Al'vain', Rukira had met the man in the flesh. Curious to see if the rumors were true, she tasked him with a special job to prove his merit- something that erased all doubt from her mind. In what little time she's known Al'vain, she finds him efficient, quick, and does not ask questions. A valuable ally. IC Inventory The following items are things that this individual carries on their person at all times. These are noted for pickpockets, and those watching her closely. This information is meant to be a prompt for insight and is not to be meta-gamed, though feel free to use this information if it comes up logically in RP (pickpocketing, a search, etc) with use of a simple /tell. ■ Coinpurse: A simple coin purse made of soft leather, containing several thousand gil. ■ Linkpearls: A dark purple Linkshell, she also has a small pool of miscellaneous linkpearls, those of various colors. ■ Concealed Blade: There is one concealed within her shoe and most commonly within her belt loop. ■ Wedding Ring: A ring of gold silver, the crescent jewel upon it is a raging inferno trapped within a beautiful crimson. ■ Leather Eye Patch: If she is not actively wearing it, she is carrying it. ■ Soul Crystal: A jagged black stone with the insignia of a Dark Knight. ■ Small Sealed Box: A gift from L'ysion, it's nearly impossible to pry open. RP Limits I like to consider myself a flexible player who is willing to commit to a number of different types of scenes and role-play scenarios, but I have limits. If something is on the play list, assume it means yes, as long as it's within the context of the current play or ongoing plot. No's are typically a hard no but given appropriate context we can discuss it. ■ I will play just about anything mature within reason. ■ Ask about injuries, drugs, and relationship advancements. ■ I won't play I generally will accept most RP as long as it is relevant to the situation. I reserve the right to back out of a RP if I do not like the direction it is headed. RP Hooks While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP. Longer plots that are meant to run for more than a few quick RP's, please feel free to send me a tell so we can work out a good reason for our characters to get to know one another. I'm always looking for RP, so please consider the following as for reasons you may know of Rukira: ■ Underworld Contact: If your character is well versed in Eorzea's seedy underbelly, then you may have heard of 'Kira'. A well known mercenary that only works on interesting jobs, she takes something valuable for her work. ■ Business Contact: If your character is a merchant or alchemist, they may be familiar with House Michaelis and their infamous wares. ■ High Society: If your character involved in high nobility, you may be familiar of lady Michaelis. She attends events often to make an appearance and occasionally donates her coin. ■ Drug Contact: If your character is one who deals in illicit goods, you may have heard of the enigma named 'Sinner'. A weapons trader and seller of narcotics, he is Rukira's husband. ■ Wood Wailer: If your character is within the ranks of the Wood Wailers, they will be familiar with Rukira's father Galien. A retired man that trains recruits occasionally, Rukira is seen occasionally with him as well. ■ Thanalan Syndicate: If your character is involved in the Syndicate, you may be familiar with house Michaelis and be looking to do some business, either legitimate or not.

OOC Notes Player Information Player Note Apologies for the probably permanent construction of this Wiki! Although this is indeed my main character, I don't use Rukira often unless to help push the plot of other LS/FC's. She is through and through a villain character and with that comes a level of god-modey-ness to keep things interesting. If you are interested in some RP, please by all means drop me a /tell! Even if you want to stretch out some details or offer an idea I'm always up for suggestions. <3 That said, I tend to lean more toward mature Role Play. It will be graphic, and it will be dark. Ruki is an edge lord, forgive me. :> Character Lore Adherence Everything concerning this character that has not been confirmed by in-game lore should be taken with a grain of salt. Anything that has had to be changed because of lore shifting will be noted below. ■ No changes. Miscellaneous Information ■ Classes: Lvl 70 Everything ■ Server: Balmung ■ Timezone:US Player; MST Character Tidbits Links Out Links that lead off the wiki, but are technically relevant to the character. ■ IC/OOC Tumblr Blog: N/A Tropes & Explanations A trope is a convention or device that is often found in creative works. In this case, the tropes below describe my character either in part, or as a whole. Their background, personality, appearance, etc, most of them can be described in the tropes below. ■ Magnificent Bastard For a woman that kills for a living, she certainly has a small harem of followers. Charisma, unshakable power, and intelligence is what people swarm to. Beneath her, they feel safe. ■ Yandere A very possessive individual, she goes to extremes when she feels someone she cares for is threatened. ■ Woobie Destroyer of Worlds Tired of the game and people that revolve around it, she wishes to see the world burn. ■ War Goddess Upon the battlefield many shiver at her presence, rumors of the slaughter and blood she revels in. ■ Bad Powers, Bad People Rukira has embraced the path of a Dark Knight. Though initially used to protect the weak, the Darkside within is quite an alluring vice. She manipulates the Abyss and dark magics for her own gain. ■ Enemy Within A persuasive voice within, it whispers into her ear encouraging to spill blood once more. The Soul Stone she carries is corrupted, and with it, herself.
