Due to the kind of combative training Rai has subjected herself to, she rarely makes any unnecessary movement, to the point of seeming almost statuesque at times; some find this almost unnerving, particularly when she does move and the motions are so fluid and precise, they seem to be made at a speed that is almost too quick. </div> |

At some point, Rai suffered some sort of laceration to her left eye, the scar starting just above the eye itself, crossing her brow, and tapering off just above the middle of her forehead. Something about the scarring has left her unable or unwilling to ever move that brow, leaving her to only ever raise the right brown when she rarely bothers with making any sort of expression requiring such. </div> |

Most people have no idea that she feels anything, as in public particularly, Rai's facial features display a complete lack of expression, while her voice is almost completely devoid of tonal depth and emotional expression; while none ever really dare to make comment to her face about it, a few not-precisely-brave souls liken her unto a corpse because of this and her statuesque like states. </div> |

Not many people realise it, as few catch on to it, but for most of her adult life, Rai has had what the few who have come to notice it assume is an unconscious deathwish; given that save one who have noticed were close enough to know something of her history, there is an idea of why it exists, even if there is never quite an acceptance or understanding of it. </div> |

Although she has unmistakeable muscle definition, her muscle architecture has always been lean and wiry instead of large and bulky, like most Hyur - though she is a more than a bit lithe.<br><br> |

+ | |||
+ | Were it not for her hair, there's a very like chance that Rai might get mistaken for a man, since her lithe and wiry frame is damn near lacking in feminine curves, and her bravado and combat prowess have the potential to put many men to shame; there's a longstanding joke that she's the most manly member of her company, and it's even said within the Redbills on some days.<br><br> | ||

The vast majority of her clothing is form-fitting yet flexible, with very few pieces baring excess fabric that isn't bound back; all of this makes it difficult for anyone to use any part of her clothing as a way to grapple her during combat.<br><br> | ||

+ | She carries an antique gold sabre with crimson accents, obviously hand-crafted to fit her particular physioaetheric profile; the detailed engravings upon it suggest it's likely some sort of heirloom as well. Rai also has a musketeer-type pistol she rarely uses, a gift from an old friend who was part of the Knights of the Barracuda; she also has a heavily modified Pre-Imperial Garlean Pistol, the framework having been altered with what appears to be Allagan technology along with some other sort of aether-based technology. She also always carries some sort of small hunting dagger that is tucked away in her boot or whatever sort of satchel she's using, typically using it as a utility knife, though it can always be used as a weapon if desperate enough. Rumour has it that Rai's been seen with some sort of odd star globe or astrolabe that doesn't seem to be constructed like a typical Astrologian tool, the centre containing not the typical orb or disk, but using her sabre's focus crystal - but few people have actually seen this weapon.<br><br> | ||
+ | |||
+ | Nearly all of these weapons have spells that keep them unseen until Rai draws them, aside from the hunting dagger and the guns. While she doesn't necessarily carry all of these weapons at the same time, she typically has two or three of them together. It seems the star globe's card sheath, for example, has been modified to also be a sheath for the sabre, creating something of a dualistic device as far as carrying goes.</div> | ||

Medium-Heavy Roleplayer from the Eastern Timezone (EST). When it comes to RP Romance I'm pretty hesitant beyond one of the people I'm currently dating that still plays, due to one too many incidents that have just gone pretty badly. It would take getting to know the other person pretty well OOC before I'd consider allowing things to progress that direction IC. Largely, Rai's personality currently makes her adverse to romantic and sexual overtures, though that may slowly change with RP that's going on - but it was sort of a protection method against romantic/sensual RP. However, if you believe your character's personality clicks with Rai, please contact me privately about the possibility of moving towards a romantic involvement. You can send a message via Tumblr, the RPC's private messages, or request my Discord via either of the prior. There must be a clear separation of IC and OOC at all times. A lot of what caused the above was due to there not being a separation of IC and OOC. That goes for more than just romance too. Rai's a pretty volatile character a lot of the time, but just because she might dislike - or even hate - your character does not mean that I as a player have those feelings for you as a player. Please don't take any of her snarkiness, underhanded tactics, or angry behaviour personally.

Rai has come to wear her hair in a variety of ways, sometimes unbound, letting it fall down her back to nearly her waist; bound at the nape of her neck in a tail; fully plaited, but rather haphazardly; or bound into a tail up at the crown of her head. She has bangs that often brush over her forehead, with shorter locks of hair that frame her face, but those seem almost more like an afterthought than anything she plans on.
Were it not for her hair, there's a very like chance that Rai might get mistaken for a man, since her lithe and wiry frame is damn near lacking in feminine curves, and her bravado and combat prowess have the potential to put many men to shame; there's a longstanding joke that she's the most manly member of her company, and it's even said within the Redbills on some days.
Icy blue eyes that tend to darken or lighten just a bit with emotion, though previously, this shifting in shade was the only indication someone may have that Rai was feeling any sort of emotion, as she has long tended to be closely guarded; more recently, however, due to an experimental treatment, Rai seems to be having flickers of emotions that will trigger a tangible elemental-based aetheric response, that also heightens with the emotional reactions to her situations.
Rai has a rather faded, decent laceration scar that begins at the bottom of her left temple, near the edge of the middle of her forehead, that clips through her outer eyebrow; she admits that even with the immediate application of healing magics, a scar formed...much to the distress of her personal physcian. At least the laceration was kept from the eye itself, and she didn't lose her sight.
Although they are incredibly faint, there seem to be some sort of sigils on both of Ember's cheeks, each starting just to the sides of each of her eyes and trailing down over the crest of her cheekbones; while hard to tell, it seems their design very tribal yet simple. There are similar sigils on the few things that reach Eorzea from elsewhere, but it seems perhaps none match the ones Rai bears.
Her voice doesn't often have much expression or intonation to it, unless she's angry, or around the other sky pirates, or she's out on her airship. Rai also avoids speaking unless she needs to when outside the confines of her familiar territory, so many people don't really know what she sounds like anyroad.
Rai smells like a blend of cinnamon, clove, and the high skies of the world.
She dresses for utility; Rai forgoes the protection that things like plate and chain armours have to offer for the mobility of leather when dealing with martial combat practices or her gunnery, while otherwise eschewing the ornate and often impractical styles that many cloth based items offer otherwise. The vast majority of her clothing is form-fitting yet flexible, with very few pieces baring excess fabric that isn't bound back; all of this makes it difficult for anyone to use any part of her clothing as a way to grapple her during combat.
She carries an antique gold sabre with crimson accents, obviously hand-crafted to fit her particular physioaetheric profile; the detailed engravings upon it suggest it's likely some sort of heirloom as well. Rai also has a musketeer-type pistol she rarely uses, a gift from an old friend who was part of the Knights of the Barracuda; she also has a heavily modified Pre-Imperial Garlean Pistol, the framework having been altered with what appears to be Allagan technology along with some other sort of aether-based technology. She also always carries some sort of small hunting dagger that is tucked away in her boot or whatever sort of satchel she's using, typically using it as a utility knife, though it can always be used as a weapon if desperate enough.
