GENERAL INFORMATION

Erdene Iriq is a displaced Xaela herbalist, medicine-maker, and witch. Following a disastrous emigration from the Steppe and several years of solitary wandering through an unfamiliar lands, she was taken in as a ward of the Esoterica free company. She presently serves as the company's gardener, as well as assisting with its various ventures.


APPEARANCE

While tall for an au ra woman, Erdene is nonetheless tiny by most standards. A stretch of easier living has softened her shape only slightly, and she's still a flexible creature of lean muscle and efficient, slightly uncanny motion. She does possess a certain measure of grace, but it's something deliberately cultivated in spite of growing up gangly, and it has far more in common with a fighter's agility than anything classically ladylike. Her large eyes are harshly slanted and dark--violet against black--and her facial structure is sharp and delicate, often lending an unsettling, fey cast to her expressions. She usually wears veils and bandanas, which help to counter this somewhat. A lifetime spent outdoors and years of grief and stress have both taken their toll, and a close look will show hints of ageing around her eyes that better suit someone five or ten years older.

She has almost nothing in the way of natural scarring; the only one is a thick, ragged line that almost completely encircles her right thigh. Her face is decorated with several grooved and inked scars that form harsh, sharp lines and serve to make her facial structure seem all the more alien. A curious set of glowing aetheric tattoos can be found winding around her torso and limbs, though they're normally invisible to the naked eye.

Her hair, a massive collection of fluffy ringlets, is always kept in braids. Naturally white, she keeps it coloured a vivid turquoise-and-blue. It's often strung with charms, jewels, and flowers.


PERSONALITY

A closed book, stoic in public and often pensive in private. This isn't helped by the coverings often worn over the lower half of her face, making her expressions all the more difficult to read. She's often hesitant to speak as well, not yet fully confident in her grasp of Common and reluctant to come off as stupid. Around those she's closer to, she speaks less stiffly and hints of a mischievous, affectionate soul seep out in her manner. She is attentive and gentle by nature, preferring to express her fondness for others by deed rather than word.

She is not as openly aggressive as her heritage would lead some to expect; most of that stereotypical Xaela fire is put to internal use, combating a pervasive sense of defeat and despair. The end result is someone placid and weary, much of her emotional strength drained by a private battle. She remains functional and level-headed in the face of horrifying events, but seemingly innocuous things can skew the odds and make her remarkably upset… and one way or another, she always pays for it later.

CURRENT INVENTORY

This is a list of the items that Erdene usually has upon her person, though she often carries other things as well. Feel free to use this information if it comes up logically in the course of RP, such as pickpocketing, a search, etc.

Last Updated: Sept. 15 / 2017.


  • Cherry-blossom keychain: A cute cloisonné keychain with the Songbirds logo stamped onto the back. There's a single key on it, and it might be cursed.

  • A straw: An atrociously complex and obnoxiously glittery curly-straw. Usually blue, sometimes purple.

  • Linkpearl: It's covered in strange etchings and hovers right by one of her horns... though it's easy to miss when she's wearing a lot of jewellery, which is often.

  • Gil purse: There's seldom a lot in there--just enough to make a few minor purchases.

  • Candies: One tin containing homemade herbed caramels or pastilles to ease coughing, one tin of ordinary mints or anise sweets.

  • Business cards: Two sheaves. One set has her name, profession, and contact information. The other is marked only with a frowny :( face and the words 'bugger off' written in ornate script.

  • Smoking stuff: A little pipe with a flower-shaped bowl, and a pouch of some strange mix of incensey-smelling herbs.

COMBAT & SORCERY

Though of moderate skill in unarmed combat (and possessing the horrifying raw strength of a Xaela), Erdene was drilled from a young age to be a healer, and to keep her distance in combat whenever possible--she considers it her responsibility to survive so that she can tend the injured, and acts of stupid, dramatic bravery are unheard of on her part. She's at her best in the midline, aggressively supporting her allies with magic.


Staff

Her weapon of choice. Though used primarily to cast, opponents that get too close tend to find out the hard way why hers has a fulm-long metal spike and some worrying stains at the base.

Offensive Magic

Much of Erdene's offensive magic evokes fire and earth--more so the latter, leading many to mistake her for a conjurer of Gridanian training. There's no great sophistication to it, and overall firepower is low... though she very much wishes to remedy this.

Defensive Magic

Her bread and butter. She's attentive but reserved with healing, preferring to administer it meticulously after battle if she has the luxury.

Auras

Though it takes considerable concentration and energy, Erdene can put forth strong auras to protect nearby allies, bolstering their resilience and tolerance for pain or adding an extra punch to their spells. Curiously, this is at its strongest in grassy areas, and weakest indoors.


EXPERIENCE LOG

Here is a list of recent and/or notable fights, roleplay scenes, etc. that CHARACTER has been a part of. This list is by no means all inclusive, and serves more as a general reference as to what HE/SHE has been up to.

Romantic Attraction Physical Attraction Platonic Love $ Business Deceased Positive Negative Neutral 🔃 Unsure 🔒 Trust


FAMILY & TRIBE

These are mostly backstory-related relationships.

LIST OF FAMILY MEMBERS
Qaratolui, mother. (🔒🔃)

A Borlaaqi witch and healer who left her tribe to raise Erdene alongside her father with the Iriq, damning her reputation with the Borlaaq in the process. By far the strongest influence in Erdene's life, Qaratolui had strict expectations that her child would follow in her footsteps, and Erdene obeyed her wishes without hesitation. In the years following her mother's death, though, Erdene has come to doubt and struggle against some of what Qaratolui imposed upon her--though she knows it was done with the best of intentions, she's finally coming to see her mother as a flawed mortal rather than an all-knowing being that cannot be questioned... though she's also developed a new sympathy upon understanding that Qaratolui was an inexperienced mother trying to navigate a terrifying dilemma, and knowing what she sacrificed for Erdene's safety.

Arban, father. ()

Erdene scarce remembers him, as he was killed by a Dotharl tribesman when she was five. She recalls that he was a scout, and a gentle soul.

Qorchi, adopted brother. ()

Her eldest and dearest brother, three years her junior. They were fast friends and she's got a great many stories about him... though hints of grief and guilt sometimes surface whenever he's mentioned in conversation. It's taken several years for her to adopt the past tense.

Jochi, adopted brother. ()

Her second brother, four years her junior. His body was not among those she found after a disastrous encounter with the Garleans, and the absence gnaws at her.

Oyugun, adopted brother. ()

Third brother, six years her junior. Her memories of Oyugun are dim; he was a quiet but brave child, and that bravery left him dead in the wake of a Dotharl raid.

Nergui, adopted brother. ()

Fourth brother, seven years her junior. Nergui was as strange a child as Erdene and just as enamoured of Qaratolui's magic, though she taught the two siblings different aspects of it that they might complement one another. He was kidnapped by the Buduga when Erdene was fourteen; she has not seen him since.



NON-FAMILY

Listed here are the non-family characters, both PC and NPC, that Erdene has interacted with enough or in such a way for her to form a real opinion about them. Please don't take personal offense if your character isn't listed here, or how the interaction or relationship is described. It isn't that I dislike your character or our RP. I just tend to only add these as necessary for those who make a real impact on Erdene, and descriptions are purely based upon in character experiences and opinions!

Last Update... Sept. 15 / 2017.

* An asterisk denotes that Erdene doesn't know the individual's true name.

LIST OF NON-FAMILY RELATIONS
Astor Fiedler, photogenic witch friend. ($🔒)

Erdene owes Astor her life in several regards, and regards him with a ferociously protective sense of fealty and fondness. She was slow to trust him but he's more than earned it. His mischievous side brings her own to the fore, and she's a far more relaxed and playful soul while he's around.

Volgeant Castellaine, master of Esoterica. ($)

Erdene finds the greying elezen to be a pleasant and charismatic sort, and he's managed to sway her opinion on things she'd dug her heels into. She views him with reservation and respect both, and is always pleased to be of assistance. His blithe acceptance of supernatural nonsense appeals greatly to her absurdist sense of humour.

Batzorig Oronir*, large friend. ()

She hasn't known Batz for very long, but the two get along easily and automatically understand Xaela Things--he's something of a tiny cultural oasis, and he reminds Erdene a little bit of what it's like to have a brother.

GUIDELINES

Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. I don't have an extensive list of 'Do's or 'Don't's or things that I personally find triggering. So chances are, you won't offend me or make me uncomfortable unless you're trying to or just being really skeevy in general. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:
