GENERAL INFORMATION
Adelaide Levenson (Pronunciation: Ah-del-aid), known to few as Ade, was born on the 25th Sun of the 2nd Umbral Moon. Adelaide was raised under a noble roof in Garlemald, and though she never had much of a chance to use it when she was young, she always had an interest in magic. Only being half-Garlean, however, allowed her to have some limited magical capabilities. She would train incredibly hard with a shocking amount of discipline in order to use magic to the best of her ability. While she never made it higher than a Legionarius, her skills with magic were certainly noticed, and she left home to join the ranks of the Magitek Knights.
APPEARANCE
Adelaide is a decently attractive Hyur, though this isn't unexpected. She doesn't look a day over 22, and she generally attributes this to the implants that are in her body. The most obvious thing that would stick out to anyone are her eyes; eerily glowing a distinct Magitek blue. Her eyes were once a simple chocolate brown, but since she was inducted into the Magitek Knights, they were replaced. Under her left eye is a small beauty mark. She has a more oblong jaw, and thick, pink lips. She suffers from a very bad case of resting bitch face, typically looking as though she is glaring. Whenever she expects to see anyone, she always puts on makeup, typically looking something like this.
Adelaide is a thinner woman; not particularly curvaceous, though she does have a thin waist for being as tall as she is. However, there are crystal fragments embedded in her body to help amplify her magic; some of these fragments are a bit closer to the skin than intended, and thus, some of it seems strangely lumpy. This is really only noticeable on her calves and inner thighs, however, and thus most will not notice. Even so, she usually tries to cover the areas up more than other parts of her body.
Her tone is always filled with venom, unlike her militaristic demeanor. She seems to carry herself with confidence and formality, and her voice shows that: Harsh enough to where you know she's serious, but still gentle enough not to be unsettling, though that in itself might be just as unsettling. When angered, which is admittedly often, the harshness that is ever-present truly shines through; some would say she's the kind of woman that when she's truly kind you can't get enough, but when angered she's simply terrifying.
Adelaide's favorite scent is roses, and she often smells of them, due to both spending time with the botanists in Gridania and simply owning a rose perfume. Occasionally, though, she will go for the more soothing scent of lavender.

PERSONALITY
Bitchy. Manipulative. Venomous. Adelaide is not unlike a viper - venomous and cunning, she is highly judgmental of others and often bases her subsequent feelings off of first appearances. She isn't lacking in confidence, but it's definitely misplaced. A narcissist through and through, Adelaide thinks highly of herself, and puts practically everyone below her. Manipulative, bitchy, and prone to sudden bouts of emotion, Adelaide does not make it easy to like her - precisely what she wants, as she tends to see others as pawns to be used rather than people to make allies and friends of.
On the off chance someone manages to get past her rough exterior, Adelaide doesn't change much. The rare compliment might be thrown their way, but otherwise, she tends to avoid getting close to anyone. Be it for the fact she sees others as unworthy of her presence or for some other reason isn't exactly clear, but those selected few who do manage to break through her shell will find an oddly protective and eccentric companion. Adelaide truly trusts few and lets even fewer in, and she finds it highly unlikely someone will meet her standards, and if they do, she will never admit to it. I-It's not like she enjoys your company or anything...!
Flowers. Roses are her personal favorite, as they fit her like a glove, but any will do. The smell of rain. It's just soothing. Tattoos. She'd never get one, but she does find them fascinating. |
People who value emotions over logic. Emotions get in the way of things. She simply doesn't let them. Nobility. Quite bigoted, considering she came from a noble family, but she can't stand them very well. Perhaps it was one too many frilly dresses. Things not going to plan. It's her way or the highway. |
Powerful Arcanist. She was taught the ways of Arcanism back in Garlemald, and in Eorzea now has a chance to really put her Summoning to work. Cunning. Knowing how not to let emotions get in the way is perfect for getting others to do what you want through them. Knowledgeable with Magitek. Comes with the job. Adelaide is up to speed on the latest advancements back home, at least up until a few months ago. |
Narcissistic. Adelaide believes she is the best. She knows she's great and isn't afraid to flaunt it. Everyone else is below her, in her eyes. Cynical. Everyone for themself! Nobody can be trusted out there. Emotionally distant. She doesn't show emotion very well, nor does she know how to express it very well. She doesn't really want to. Obsessive. She fixates on one task until it's complete. There is no stopping something once it's started. |
CURRENT INVENTORY
This is a list of the items that Adelaide currently is keeping on her. Feel free to use this information if it comes up logically in the course of RP, such as pickpocketing, a search, etc.
Last Updated: 5/21/2016.
Coinpurses: Three, to be exact, holding a fair amount of gil in each.
Linkpearls: The few people worthy of receiving her linkpearls are the ones she needs to keep in contact with.
Roses: Two roses, tucked away in her robes. She finds them soothing.
Rations: You have to eat, don't you?
Canteen: Water, definitely. She's tolerant to alcohol. Very tolerant.
Magitek Repair Tools: Just in case.
BACKSTORY
Adelaide Levenson was born into Garlean nobility, but she was not born of a loving union. A father figure was absent in her life due to this, and her mother was often out of the house, among other nobles. From a young age, Adelaide longed for acceptance from her Pureblood mother, though she knew this would be incredibly unlikely. The Ala Mhigan that 'stained' her blood was seen as incredibly unfavorable in her mother's eyes, and it leaves her feeling as though she has a foot in two worlds to this day.
For eighteen cycles, Adelaide lived among nobility, though her mixed blood caused her to grow incredibly insecure. Disowning the girl would cause quite a bit of talk, though, and so to keep up appearances, Adelaide was kept around the family's large home for her early life, most often out in the gardens. She was bright, though, and had an affinity for magic despite her low aether levels. Nevertheless, Adelaide tried to keep up with her studies, as she dreamed of becoming a powerful mage someday. Adelaide's insecurity of her blood was still present during her teen years, and perhaps showed most then. The deep mocha of her skin was certainly not a Garlean trait, and as a result of her insecurity about it, she became obsessed with anything and everything superficial. Adelaide wished only for the finest clothes and to look as beautiful as she could - something that is carried to a lesser extent as an adult - and it worked in her favor. Even with her mixed blood, many came after her as a teenager, and this resulted in quite the inflated ego - another trait that has remained - and led to her being incredibly narcissistic due to being coupled with a noble upbringing. Even during all of this, though, she managed to find time to continue her studies into magic, and now weaponry. At age 18, she got a sudden reality check after a particularly rude awakening from a friend, and left her noble life to become a soldier as a result, hoping that this would have her mother accept her. |
Adelaide served as an extremely loyal and intelligent soldier during her time, though due to her mixed blood never made it past the rank of Legionarius. However, at age 21, there was word of an experimental battalion known as the Magitek Knights recruiting again. Four cycles prior, there was an error among the programming - or so she heard - of one particular Knight, and they had been working rigorously to keep the newer generations of Knights in check. Adelaide volunteered to join the Knights, in hopes this was one final step in acceptance. She never got it. To this day, she knows not the extent of every modification made to her body, but that mattered little to the naive 21-year-old who had made the impulse decision to join. As a result, her eyes were taken and replaced with magitek. There was a chip implanted in her brain to ensure that she was compliant and able to receive orders at any time. Crystals were implanted into her body to make up for her lack of aether due to Garlean blood. As her first test as a Knight, she was sent into trial by combat; in this trial, a life was taken - that of a longtime friend - and she cannot help but feel guilt about it, even now. |
As a Knight, Adelaide was often sent to other bases as a magitek engineer as well as fighting alongside other Knights on the battlefield. On one such journey, she was sent to a base, and upon her arrival, found it destroyed. The familiar figure of a Knight she'd only heard in whispers was seen, alongside a Lalafell and a Miqo'te. Soon after, Adelaide blacked out. She knows not what broke the chains, but when she awoke, she felt free for the first time, to some extent. It was then she realized what she needed to do. Find the other Knight. |
COMBAT & WEAPONRY
Adelaide's demeanor changes during combat - it's almost as though she relishes the pain she inflicts. The spells she uses are those intended to knock an enemy down and keep them down for a long time, the majority affecting the body's functions. She plays dirty, and seems to love it, taunting her opponents while they are down while inflicting further pain. She tries to avoid combat for this reason, but inevitably, it will happen.
■ Intelligent. Adelaide was brought up as a soldier, and an extremely specialized one at that. Sent out on many different varieties of missions against various opponents, Adelaide is well-versed in combat, and could likely make a rather intelligent tactician if she had to. Not only is she combat-smart, though, but she is also book-smart. She is best with Arcanima and Summoning, though is adept with Thaumaturgy as well. ■ Magitek Enhancements. Her eyes are the most notable magitek feature about her, capable of scans and whatnot, but there are other enhancements throughout her body that allow for further dexterity, stamina, and overall health. They are part of why she has aged so gracefully. ■ Crystal Fragments. Throughout Adelaide's body are many crystal fragments embedded inside her. These can be drawn from to empower attacks being used from aetheric reserves she might not otherwise have, or however else she chooses. These crystals can be 'recharged' by visiting a place with high aetheric concentration, but it still takes a fair amount of time. |
■ Grimoire Wing. Her primary weapon. It is never seen not at her side. An impressive work of magitek, Adelaide constructed it herself. It is a small and portable 'database' of all the the geometries and whatnot that she may require at a given time. It is, essentially, a collection of her magical knowledge, available at the flip of a switch. ■Shortsword. A good soldier never leaves the base without at least two weapons. Adelaide is capable with a simple sword, but she isn't particularly impressive with it. Average at best, she uses it only if necessary if an opponent gets too close to be effective. ■Reinforced Robes. Adelaide has all robes and coats she wears custom made to be reinforced with leathers so that she is not completely helpless if someone gets too close. She will, naturally, attempt to keep her distance, but if necessary, these will ensure she can take a few hits. |

ABOUT THE PLAYER
Hi! I usually go by Silent or Novi online. Or you can just call me Rihxo or Adi, I really don't care. I take too many screenshots and I skip on leveling to RP. Yeah, I admit it. Sometimes I cosplay, and sometimes I do decent art, I guess. I'm on the East Coast so I'm in the EST time zone, and usually online in the evenings on weekdays and pretty much all day on weekends. I'm open to forum RP, as well, though I might be slow with replies. (I check that less often.) Do you like to RP? Then I want to RP with you! If you see me in-game, walk up! Adelaide doesn't bite... hard. Any comments on my wiki are welcomed, as well. In-game, I am Adelaide Levenson if you want to whisper me or add me to your friends list so we can RP sometime later. Thanks for reading this whole wiki! It took me a while to put together. Danke, mein Freund! (Thank you, my friend!) (Oh, also, I know a little bit of German. Surprise?)
My schedule is very irregular. Things often call me away from the game very suddenly. I can't really help this. You can find me on the RPC or Skype, but I will be most consistent with RP in-game. I sincerely apologize for this.
I type slow sometimes. I have a tendency to have slower replies due to the fact I type kind of slowly. This is most notable with paragraph RP. If I go more than 10 minutes in-game without mentioning that I was AFK, your post likely got eaten. I will let you know if this happens.
Walk-up Friendly. I am anxious about walking up, but I absolutely love to be walked up to! If you spy me targeting you, I'm probably just too scared to walk up. If you want to walk up to me, feel free to! You can send a /tell if you think I'm AFK, or if it's busy where we're at.
Adelaide is an alt. I am not on Adelaide as much as I am on Rihxo Matoi. If you wish to RP with any of my other characters, please let me know if you see me and I will be happy to switch over if I'm not busy!
