Aeliana Quirinus

The Tip Of the Spear, The Deathseeker

Born from a crime, raised in hate. I have no fate but that which I make. More than my parts, greater than my sum. My name is Aeliana, the name of the sun.

Chaotic Good. General Information . [[ ❝ "The cycle of life and death continues. We will live; they will die." ]] Appearance Hair & Eyes Aeliana keeps her hair short, preventing it from being used against her as leverage in close combat or from getting caught on anything in the environment. Her bangs are long and carefully arranged to veil, but not hide, the third eye that is a relic of her unwanted ancestry. Her eyes are heterochromatic, the right being a liquid violet and the left being a deep burgundy. They are often cold and expressionless when in public. Physique & Markings Aeliana has spent the entirety of her life fighting for survival, and it shows. She is in perfect shape for fighting. Her body is powerfully muscled despite her small stature, wiry but not unfeminine. Her bust is fairly large for a Midlander, a large B or small C. The most notable tattoos Aeliana bares are the Emblems of each primal she has slain on her shoulders. The most visible are the two rune-like marks on her cheeks. Aeliana has plenty of scars, the legacy of a lifetime of abuses from her neighbors and battles, only one of which an average person will see: a small gouge across the bridge of her nose. Hygiene & Attire Though she is a Soldier of Fortune, a rather more high-society mercenary than the usual gutter-scum, Aeliana is a mercenary all the same. She has little problem with getting dirtied and bloodied when necessary, even if the benefits of finery and perfumes (such as beautiful, sheltered maidens whose hearts quicken at the attentions of a dashing rogue) are something that she very much enjoys indulging in. Aeliana is almost always wearing armor of some kind, predominantly medium or heavy armor to suit her preferred styles of combat. She also prefers to wear darker colors, trending heavily towards black. This is mostly because her ‘casual clothes’ would have her mistaken for a street dancer or a courtesan, and breaking the fingers of wandering hands quickly grows dull./div> Personality Psychological Profile Aeliana is, at her core, a broken person desperately seeking validation in her value. Abused and rejected by her family for being the child of a Garlean occupier and the man she had raped, abused and rejected by her neighbors, abused and rejected by the Garleans, abused and rejected by many in Eorzea. All for the crime of being born, all for things beyond her power or will. Bereft of anyone who saw value in her, she suffers in silence and drowns her pain in drink, women, battle, and its spoils. Whether she will find a new purpose or someone who cares for her existence before she dies in battle, no one can say. Voice Alaisia’s voice is husky and low, often devoid of emotion beyond snarky sarcasm when interacting with strangers. Only for a select few are allowed to hear anything else in her voice. [Jennifer Hale aka Commander Shepard] Philosophy & Mannerisms Trained from birth to believe that she has no value and her existence is worthless, Aeliana throws herself into battle with reckless abandon, uncaring of the potential for injuries so long as she gains victory. She is well-regarded by the members of the Alliance that she fight behinds, for though she is often in a position of authority over them, she always leads from the front and is more than willing to give her own life to preserve theirs. However, that regard goes hand in hand with fear and distrust, because following a leader that many call 'Deathseeker' is a dangerous thing indeed. A broken bird, Aeliana is desperately hoping that someone will nurse her back to health and help her spread her wings. Preferences Likes ● Chocolate. She adores it. It’s an addiction, really. ● 'Entertaining' beautiful maidens as often and luridly as possible. Its the only time she feels valued. ● Fighting. Its the only time she feels alive. Dislikes ● Rapists and Child-Abusers ● Being judged for her racial heritage. ● False heroes ● Garlean Ultra-Nationalists Skills ● Anything she can do to bring herself wealth and prestige is something she has some skill in. ● She is extremely aware of her surroundings. ● Seduction and Carnality

Combat, Abilities & Weaponry Basic Statistics High: Strength, Speed, Stealth Above Average: Aetheretic Capabilities, Dexterity Average: Constitution Low: Piety Aetheric Abilities Mastery: Dark Arts, Mudra, Sen Expert: Black Magic Average: Chakra Novice: White Magic Weapon Training Mastery: Greatsword, Greataxe, Lance, Gunblade, Unarmed Combat Expert: Sword and Shield Average: Guns, Pugulist Arms Novice: Magical Peripherals Combat Relevant Skills High: Pain Tolerance, Reaction Time, Combat Tactics Above Average: Flexibility, Patience Average: Defensive Tactics Low: Self-Control (In Battle) Non-Combat Abilities ● (Passive) All-consuming Apathy: Aeliana is someone who sees no value in themself, and struggles to imagine anyone else can see value in her. As such, she has little care for self-preservation, and it shows with every action she takes and word she speaks. Simply put, Aeliana doesn't care anymore. ● Kinesthesia and Situational Awareness: Aeliana learns by doing, which is how she is able to fight in so many different ways. While she enjoys reading, she has significant difficulty learning in this way. She is also what some might call paranoid, thought she prefers to think of it as high situational awareness and cautionary attitude. Combat Abilities ● (Passive)Soldier of Fortune Aeliana has dedicated her entire life to gathering material goods and experiencing carnal pleasures, trying to fill the void in her heart where the love of family and friend ought to reside. As such, she has middling to expert skills in gathering, crafting, and warfare. ● My Life for Yours Aeliana will greatly enhance her speed, essentially teleporting herself to a fixed point to either attack or defend a targeted individual. Should only be used very rarely due to potential for disorientation and the not-insignificant aetherial cost. ● Voice of the Damned: Aeliana focuses her aether to her vocal cords and lets lose a high-pitched shrieking sound that is severely debilitating and disorienting to those in ear shot. Given that it effects ANYONE in audible range, it cannot be used with allies except in the most dire of circumstances. ● Sacrifice Aeliana channels a dangerous amount of aether into a large explosion of magic around herself, making herself critically vulnerable until she recovers. A move of desperation, performed only when she feels outmatched by multiple opponents. ● Shatterpoint: Aeliana tends to focus on placing significant strength behind her blows while targeting certain points of her enemy or the landscape. These blows, while powerful, are ungainly. They often miss with devastating results to whatever they ultimately hit ● (Limit Break)Deathseeker: When the battle turns grim and defeat is imminent, when a hero becomes so inspired they push beyond their boundaries, when a long slumbering power is awoken, a person's Limit Break is revealed. Aeliana trades damage now for damage later, significantly increasing her physical abilities (speed, strength, etc.) while damaging her muscles severely. If she failed to defeat her opponent within a short time frame of activation, she would be overwhelmed by pain and weakness, becoming utterly helpless.

History Each story read here is full of information that can be used against this character in what is known as meta-gaming. If any of this information is found used without consent, or learned without IC reasonings, it will resort in me cutting all IC and OOC contact from you. Please understand this is a mere history of this character and for the enjoyment, or dislike of those who wish to peruse. WARNING: Long entries ahead! The Garleans, Conquerors of the Countless Show text For turnings uncounted, the Dotharl tribe of Xaela have roamed the steppes of Othard, killing whomever they wished whenever and wherever they desired. They lack most forms of morality save for a few, and are taught from birth that life has no purpose beyond death, and that death is nothing to fear. As such, they will fight at any excuse for as long as they wish, before departing again. They do not claim and cultivate territory, instead simply taking what they need and want from those that they fight. This raiding lifestyle means that any attempt to isolate and exterminate the tribe has ultimately failed, though it also ensures a high enough mortality rate that they never become too numerous. They are particularly known for their disdain of the peaceful Raen. While none of the Xaela tribes (save for the Malaguld) are particularly fond of the Raen, the Dotharl view them as a direct affront to their own lifestyle, and raid them whenever possible. However, given the Raen’s tendency to live in cities, these raids rarely accomplish anything but meager loot and casualties. Dotharl have little affection for one another, but will not tolerate outsiders speaking ill of their kin. Rather, they will happily pound or kill one another, but an outsider attempting to do the same will quickly find themselves far out of their depth. A Worthless Wanderer Show text Alaisia Bloodsong had spent her entire life fighting, training to fight, or waiting for either of the two former options to present themselves. She was good at it, too, besting seasoned warriors in duels before she saw fifteen summers, much to the loser’s chagrin and the observers’ hilarity. She attended many raids and assaults during her life, but it was during her twenty first year of life that everything changed. The Kharlu and the Jhungid’s annual battle was about to begin, and the Elders had decided that it was really quite rude of the two tribes to have their little squabble without inviting the best warriors in all the land to join in. The fact that it was a personal issue between the two tribes for the purpose of claiming territory and resources was utterly irrelevant to the leaders of the Dotharl. Why should it matter what they were fighting about? The point was that they were fighting, and the Dotharl were going to go after both of them at the same time. When the two clans joined battle, the Elders sounded the war-horns and the Dotharl swept out of the hills howling war-cries. They smashed into the two battling clans, who promptly put aside their differences to turn against their mutual enemy. The battle turned into a chaotic melee, everyone fighting everyone, and the ground became mud from the blood of hundreds. Alaisia cut her way through the chaos into the Kharlu encampment, seeking loot of both the material and the flesh kind for herself, a not-unpopular way to gain prestige and power amongst her people. It was then, however, that she found herself face to face with a creature she had never seen before, what she would later find out was an elezen female. A prisoner of the Kharlu, she none the less claimed a weapon to defend the women and children of her captors. Alaisia hesitated, admiring this foreign beauty that she found herself desiring to claim. However, something about her courage in the face of the blood-soaked Dotharl killer stayed Alaisia’s hand, calmed the singing of her blood. She found herself reluctant to harm the girl and those she protected. Instead, against all expectations, she showed them a way to escape and kept other pillaging Dotharl from catching them. Over the following months, she found herself sparing enemies, both combatant and civilian, more and more, in direct opposition to both her upbringing and the commands of the Elders. Finally, she was discovered and forced to flee. The Dotharl caught up to her and exacted punishment on her flesh, leaving her a tortured, bleeding wreck near death. Fate, however, had a different plan. The Elezen she had spared had appeared as if by magic, hands shimmering with healing magic and compassionate eyes. The Elezen, who introduced herself as Astrelle De’bayle in broken Xaelic, had healed her wounds and carried her to safety. When she recovered, she swore that she would be more than what her upbringing had made her. She would be like this Elezen and her people. She would protect those who couldn’t protect themselves, rescue those in need. Just as Astrelle had for her. Seeking Value Amongst The Greedy Show text For several years did Alaisia remain at Astrelle’s side, learning the language and culture of Eorzea and teaching the Ishgardian Xaelic in turn. However, word soon reached Alaisia’s ears that the Dotharl knew of her survival and were searching for her. Unwilling to put her dear friend in danger, the renegade Dotharl had lied, claiming she was going to Eorzea to fight against the Primal threat. Finding one of the Dotharl search parties, she crushed them and informed them that she was leaving Othard behind, and that anyone who continued to hunt her would not return to their homeland, before she left them to report to their Elders. Boarding a merchant ship, she cast one final look at her homeland, and the smiling and waving Elezen on the docks, until they fell from view. Resolute in her decision, she pushed aside the pain at the knowledge that she would never again see Astrelle and looked to the feature. As Fate would have it, the gods willed that the pair would meet again on the warm, sandy shores of Costa Del Sol. A Future Unwritten Show text Alaisia spent the next few years fighting Eikons, Imperials, Bandits, and anything else that threatened the peace of her dearest friend's home continent. Each time she felled an Eikon, she had it's name tattooed on her shoulder blades in kanji, marking with her body her efforts towards repentance. She rarely interacted with the natives, who were unused to the presence of an Au Ra in a land that did not have them naturally. As a result, her mythos grew to that of a strange, red-eyed being that would show up for a fight, before leaving without speaking a single word. Overtime she grew somewhat more relaxed, especially when the refugees of Doma arrived. She began to visit the cities more often, relaxing in Cantinas and wandering the capitals in between battles. Soon enough she found herself searching for Astrelle, having heard that her family's 'wandering daughter' had returned home. It would be some time, though, before they were reunited. ?????????? Show text In the fullness of time, Alaisia (quite by accident) happened across Astrelle in Costa del Sol, reuniting the two friends at last, though they would have to part company again. Least of all because of her family's prejudices against Au Ra, Ishgardian born that they were. As such, they exchanged linkpearl information and parted again, meeting occasionally in places such as Ul'dah. Soon enough, Astrelle sent a young Raen named Natsuki Rokutachi to meet with her. A friend met after Alaisia had left for Eorzea, she hoped that Natsuki and Alaisia would get along well enough. Fortunatly, despite the Xaela/Raen divide, the pair is able to interact on amiable terms
