"Oh by Halone's icy teats, I know exactly what my oaths mean! I've chosen to spend my - what will likely be a very short - life beating my head against a wall.
And the Twelve know I'm too much of a fool to step away from that.
So, if I want to enjoy a drink or seven, limber up with a bit of a spar, or limber up in other ways ...if you know what I mean… Godsdamnit I will!"

- ↑ The sword Jari typically uses is a war blade of the hand-and-a-half variety (a longsword by the general definition, but some of you tabletop roleplayers may know them as bastard swords.) However, if a full on battlefield sword is not appropriate, she is sometimes convinced to carry something more courtly, such as a rapier or, if all else fails, a small sword.
- ↑ Tab Test Jari's combat style is roughly based on the German School of Swordplay following the traditions of master Johannes Liechtenauer through masters Sigmund Ringeck and Hans Talhoffer. Her training is meant to be similar to a 15th century man-at-arms, as described by Talhoffer's works and other sources. Examples of the style can be seen here and here.
- ↑ I rather dislike the description given here, mainly because I feel the 'bad' behaviors listed are a bit too overblown in many contexts, as well as Jari will always focus on the 'Good' portion of the alignment over the 'Lawful' part, at least in respect to the laws of governments and communities. The description given, at least in my opinion, edges into the Lawful Stupid realm, which I feel doesn't fit Jari's personality. Along with the wonderful issue of applying a decades old alignment system to a world where it doesn't necessarily make full sense all the time is a bit difficult.
- ↑ All information here is OOC (despite Jari being a fairly open book) and I request that it not be used inappropriately. Also, Jari - just like anyone else - makes a slew of mistakes in her characterization of others, and this is not my personal opinion of anyone or their characters.
- ↑ Though she doesn't actually know the date.
- ↑ Yes... Miqo'te-at-Arms. *glares* She's not really a knight, and I'm not going to call her a "Man"-at-Arms, that would just be silly! :P
