Character

Appearance

K'airos spends most of her day suited in the Brass Blade uniform: a suit of red chainmail armor, though she sometimes drops it in favor of a lighter bronze plate with bulgy clothes underneath. When off-duty, she favors sleeveless shirts of light colors, trousers and sandals. Sometimes, she's so annoyed at the boots of her uniform she will simply remain bare-footed for the rest of the day, as long as she doesn't have to walk in Thalanan's sands.

Personality

K'airos used to act like a jester. It's hard to say if it was a concious effort on her part or if it's something engrained deeply in her mind. She was determined to have fun at all times and in all situations. The only times she could be seen unhappy were after arguments with her mother or sisters.

When D'aijeen found her and told her about the deaths of the tribe, K'airos took upon herself the responsability of becoming the role model and protector of her younger sister. Unsure on how to do that, the way she chose is to concede most of her sister's whims, as long as they don't put in danger their financial stability or their personal security, while presenting herself as eternally cheerful.

She's prone to losing herself in thought, ussually when handsome men are around. If approached by them during these moments, she will blush and act awkwardly, ussually running away with a blushed face and a shouted apology.

K'airos was never a very religious adherent when she lived in the desert. However, after the Calamity, she has grown much more attached to Azeyma, the deity the tribe worshipped. Her devotion is on the edge of zealotry, though she is ussually nice (or distracted) enough to not be confrontational about it.

History

K'airos was born in the Hipparion tribe found in the Sagolii Desert, as the middle child of K'piru Jhanji and Thalen Nunh. From a young age, K'airos demostrated a talent for quick learning, particularly of physical skills. While the tribe's huntresses capitalized on this ease to teach her how to use a spear and become a huntress herself, her mother tried to instill the knowledge of numbers and geometry. Unlike her younger sister K'aijeen, K'airos reluctantly accepted her mother's teachings, not because of interest or hunger for knowledge, but to please her. This was not enough to make her remember the lessons more often and clearly, though.

She still learnt the way of the huntress and, during her 19th birthday, she and whomever the tribe could spare left to join the war effort against the garlean menace. Others followed some time after, between them her father. However, the Grand Companies assigned them to different military fronts, though both were in the Foreign Brigades. A year later, she would be sent to join the battle at Cartenau.

K'airos was found unconscious by her sister K'aijeen, now named D'aijeen, at some point after the Calamity. When she woke up, her sister told her the rest of the tribe had been killed by the Calamity. Unsure on what to do, K'airos decided to go to Ul'dah in a rash decision, bringing D'aijeen with her. Her service in the Foreign Brigades allowed her to leap and join the Brass Blades, who she currently serves. She is moved a lot across Thanalan, and the pay isn't spectacular. For this reason, the sisters haven't been able to get a permanent residence, instead renting rooms or small properties wherever K'airos is stationed at. She seldomly takes on mercenary work outside the Blades to increase their funds, and other times she allows small criminals to pay a fee to her in exchange of not being reported or incarcelated. All in the name of saving to buy a house of their own, somewhere. Anywhere.

Roleplay Hooks

• She is a low ranking member of the Brass Blades and was formerly part of the Ul'dahn Foreign Brigades. Perhaps you served alongside her?
• She can often be seen on guard duty in various zones across Thanalan, depending on where her officers decide to send her.
• She seldomly takes simple mercenary jobs in the region she's stationed at. Maybe you have work for her?
• Bribery is a terrible thing, but it brings more food to the table...as long as it's not something too big. Maybe you need her to look away?
