Chaotic Good General Information Erketu is a Xaela warrior, having mastered fighting with a greatsword against both the creatures of the steppes and the Garlean Empire. While she could have lived a bountiful life with her tribe, she took arms against the invaders in an attempt at smothering the potential ambition that could later drive Garlemald into the steppes. Forced into exile to avoid death, like many other Othardians, when the tide of battle proved too much in their disfavour, she came to Eorzea before fleeing away from her people once they landed. After an altercation with a ravenous Dark Knight she barely managed to slay, she stole the stone of her now deceased opponent and embarked on the journey to harness her inner darkness ❝ Quote. ❞ Appearance Eyes Hair Skin Build Voice Blue with red-orange limbal ring Greyish white, with dyed black tips Dark blue Lean, yet muscular enough Unused Bearing Laterality Scars Markings Style Stiff, arms often crossed Ambidextrous Numerous lacerations over her body Black scales, white face tatoo, horn rings Wears mostly black armour or clothes, often without any helmet Hair & Eyes Erketu seems to care greatly for her hair, while still keeping a rebellious style. The tips of her hair have been carefully dyed in black in multiple places, often the strands that will stick out of her hairdo. Her horns are hard to miss, protuding out of the greyish hair from the side and top of her head. Her eyes of a blue-purplish hue, made piercing by the bright red rings some would swear can be seen in darkness. Physique & Markings Though the frail physique of a female Xaela could make one think Erketu is ill-prepared to face her foes in melee, it would be severely underestimating her martial prowess. This small frame is all made of developed muscles, able to withstand the direst punishments the Xaela forces upon herself to stay in shape and ever improve her physical capabilities. This taxing training is clearly visible on her body, in the form of countless scars of various sizes, from small cuts to large lacerations. Besides her racial traits, being dark scales and horns, she is also tatooed in white across the face, under her eyes. Her horns are also adorned with a firmly secured ring each. Hygiene & Attire Erketu takes care of herself and her attire with great care. Ablutions are a mandatory part of her day, except if she has to spend several days in a dangerous area, where she will satisfy herself with only washing her face. Her gear is always kept clean and repaired, to the point she would likely let herself fall behind her companions to finish her cleaning routine. Personality Psychological Profile Erketu is a reserved person who tends to push people away due to her habits, though she would not usually refuse to mingle with others. The Qestir's distrust of words makes communication with her a hassle most prefer not bother surpassing. And even if you manage to establish a "conversation" with her, the distrust of every spoken word would be easy to read on her face. But if you prove yourself, you will finally be faced with a good-hearted girl, always willing to lend her sword and skills to anyone promising a good fight or the accomplishment of a good deed. Having embraced the darkness inside herself, she is somewhat of a cynical person who will eagerly resort to threats and violence if the situation could profit from it... and even if it could be resolved in a more peaceful manner. Voice Raised in the utmost respect of the Qestir traditions, Erketu's voice is nearly unknown to everyone due to her self-inflicted interdiction to speak. The only occasion where she allows herself to break the rule is when introducing herself, where she will utter the words "Erketu, of the Qestir tribe" before falling into mutism once again. During this introduction, one will witness a calm and monotonous voice. Philosophy & Mannerisms Erketu's philosophys has been built throughout her whole life, experiences and upbringing having created a vision of the world she respects dearly. She sees the whole world as an uncertainty to approach with skepticism, for your senses can sometimes distorts your experiences and what you are told by others, through oral or written speech, could as well be a veil of lies. Being an eye witness is paramount to her, with every iteration letting her build trust. Still, Erketu is prompt to help those in need. As Xaela, created by Nhaama to fight, she takes upon herself to defend those who cannot. Yet, those who receive her help often finds themselves under relentless assault, as she believes one will never improve if they do not learn to fend for themselves. Though the Qestir girl would never hurt too severely one of her charges, pain is an excellent teacher she will gladly summon to toughen them up.
