"Darkness cannot drive out darkness, only light just as hate cannot drive out hate, only love." -Alina Cerberusira
Appearance
Seeing Alina out and about on any given day, one would think she is lost in some sort of daydream, taking in the sights and the sounds. With her sea green eyes, sun-kissed skin, muscular physique, and a gentle smile, she's turned plenty of heads. She is small compared to her Viera counterparts but keeps in excellent shape and just as fierce. She has long flowing mahogany hair that she usually keeps in a half braid as to keep her hair out of her face and two very long ears. While not overly muscled, her body is lean and toned. From years of training and conditioning, she is highly flexible and one of the most dexterous Viera around. She's not one for high fashion so usually will be seen wearing her black Cheongsam with a white undercoat. If perchance you see her in a stealth black assassin outfit, it most likely will be the last image you see.

PERSONALITY
Alina is both a disciplined soldier as well as a prankster; both parts of her living in perfect balance. She enjoys the simple things in life like watching the sunrise or going to the beach. She takes her responsibilities with the Flames and the Maelstrom very seriously but always makes time for the pleasures in life. She enjoys her evenings drinking ale with her husband and friends and reminiscing of old times however keeping her early life somewhat of a mystery. She was an outcast in her early years causing her to be reclusive and shy. As an adult, the confidence Oboro and Amet gave her allowed her to come out of her shell and explore the world and its people. Upon breaking from this reclusive lifestyle, she embraced all the world had to offer; the people, the smells, the sights. She is often seen meditating or training with a dummy to perfect her technique. She does enjoy dueling those who seek to challenge her at the Wolves Den however those are usually few and far between. She is charming, kind, and a gentle soul to be around. She has experienced both loss and gain, pain and pleasure. Knowing that everything in the world must be balanced allows her to learn from every experience, whether it be good or bad. She is both selfless and humble, willing to share whatever she has with others. She does have a little bit of a temper but only a select few have ever witnessed it.
Technique/Weapons
As a child, Alina received daily training in both the art of the Warrior and the ways of the White Mage. She learned from an early age to use defense as an offensive technique, allowing her to use her enemies attackes against them. Never really getting her villages' approval, she has an unfathomable drive to prove her worth. Growing up in her adolescent years in Limsa Lominsa, she dedicated herself day and night to perfecting the eastern art of Ninja. She knew that she would never be able to out power someone even though she is quite strong so she trained her body to rely on finding her opponents weak spot and exploiting that weakness. She in addition learned how to stealth which later earned her the title Commander of Recon for the Maelstrom and the Flames. She is proficient in all blades and can occasionally be seen wielding an axe like her mother had. She was never one for crafting so has decided to train her body and learn the many different fighting styles one can learn. In the end though, her heart will always be that of a Ninja.
✦ Weapon: Alina's daggers she carries with her everyday are razor sharp yet plain to the naked eye. They have a wooden handle and a thin steel blade. Her weapons she takes into battle are of a rare eastern metal that is black in color, making her blades dark as night. They are adorned with gold plating, red silks, and a jade bead for balance and decoration. These daggers are deadly as the rare metal allows them to be sharper than any other weapon made in the west. She take extreme care of them and sharpens both sets to ensure they are ready in case trouble strikes.

OOC NOTES
OOC INFORMATION
Player Note
Roleplay is meant to be fun! I'm here for all sorts of roleplay be it a long and in depth adventure, to a simple fortune telling, to a nightly romp in the woods. So long as everyone is enjoying it and leaves the roleplay feeling satisfied, I'm not particularly picky. I do ask that the lines of OOC and IC stay very clearly drawn. I am not my character, and you are not yours. What they feel for each other is not reflective of our own feelings.
Personal RP Limits
I don't have very many hardcore limits honestly as I feel consequences must be adhered to when RPing any character regardless of whom they might be. However there are a few exceptions to this and they are as follows.
■ I will play Sexual roleplay themes/Erp, violence, longer story lines, heavy mature themes (Drug use, illegal activity, implied rape/torture, death (npc), ect.) Lighthearted roleplay, slice of life roleplay, romance, roleplay combat.
■ I won't play Allow my character to be killed (at least not atm). Do most scenes involving heavy torture, mutilation or death (unless heavily discussed before hand.) Drastically change or adjust Alina to fit a specific event/plot without valid story reasons.
Disclaimer
Little Tidbits.
■ I'm a strong believer in the concept of IC actions having IC consequences. If your character robs a bank, he should have a warrant. If one is badly injured, they'll need time to recover ect. It makes the roleplay a bit more believable as well as adds to the immersion for me..
■ Between real life, other roleplay and social obligations, and general moods, I won't always be up for roleplaying with you. Please respect that there will be times when I say "No I'm not up for it," and leave it at that. In return, I'll always respect this in you and will never push or fuss about roleplay.
CHARACTER TIDBITS
Potential Plot Hooks
While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP.
■ We may have met on the battle fields, same side or opposing...
■ Alina is always up for work on the side, and has been known to do odd jobs as a bodyguard and hired muscle.
■ Maybe we meet at a bar, talk about life and things
■ We dueled at the Wolves Den, and I won obviously
