The Mists - Topmast Apartment (Ward 7, Room 57)

How does one spend their "happy ending?"

While trudging through the darker moments of her life, Lsael Elswer often looked to the sky. Envying the birds and airship pilots that sense of 'freedom' flying through the skies. So when Lsael found the money and the opportunity presented itself, she took her life savings to a buy a brand new Manacutter to fly it wherever she desires. A self-taught mechanic, wandering explorer, and skilled pilot. She cast aside her sword, shield, and other pointy business tools to seek a life in the skies.


Basic Info

A quick reader, but horrible writer. Most often opting to doodle instead. Oddly enough, she's actually quite good at sketching and drawing.
Instead of keeping a diary, she tends to collect books as keepsakes for special events or jobs. Opting high quality tomes as payment for her services in the past.
Whilst wandering the streets away from her benefactors as a teenager, she often found respite in the arcanist libraries which dotted the city. Being around books made her feel safe, which is probably why there is an overabundance of them in her apartment.
After assisting some adventurers with a Necrologos leve in hopes of attaining the book for herself. Lsael found herself a treasure coffer with an Atrophied Atomos within. Consuming her satchel of crystals at the time, the creature stuck with the Xaela ever since. Gobbling up whatever she would offer it whether it be scrap metal, food, or just general trash. In exchange as a floating trashcan, the Xaela finally got some much needed company for her long travels.
It's name is "Tomo" and she keeps it under a strict leash, as he tends to bite when spoiled with food.

Appearance & Personality

Lsael is a young adult Xaela. She is slim, curvacious, yet otherwise maintains a well balanced figure. Lsael stands at 5 fulms 6 ilms, which is noticably taller than other female Au Ra. She has Short black hair with red highlights with red and yellow eyes enclosed in black limbal rings. Occasionally grows out her hair to about chin height in which her bangs cover half her face, but it's proven not much help while flying to opts to cut it short. She was actually blind in her right eye up until she was 19 until the Calamity happened and mysteriously restored her vision. Wears goggles and often wears double layers whilst flying to keep the wind chill from freezing her over.

Without social interaction, Lsael is very much the silent type. Thanks to her isolationist living style courtesy of the past few years, she could go for days before actually speaking. But even then, those who catch wind of her find it difficult to describe her as brooding or gloomy nowadays. She carries herself with little care about the world unless it directly relates to herself or her safety.she remains oddly well mannered to strangers given that they show her equal respect.

Her main deterrent in an argument though remains unchanged throughout the years as hyper-aggressiveness seems to work for her 99% of the time. If an Elezen continues to harass her after being asked to leave twice, she WILL NOT hesitate to put a bullet into their thigh. On a separate note, she's on a low alert list in Gridania, which is why she never frequents the city proper. Absolutely despises racists, only dislikes 'fanatical' Garleans, and hates anyone that would take advantage of the less fortunate. (basically Monetarists, Gridanians and high-class Ishgard)

What little friends she has, would describe her as a blunt and straight-forward individual. Though at some moments crass or politically incorrect. She does not shy from the truth of the conversation, often stating her opinion regardless of people's reaction or consequence.

Combat and Ability

While in her younger years she grew up with her father's stories of graceful fighters doing flips and turns. As a grown woman and capable fighter she quickly realized this just wasn't feasible in heavy armor. Rather, throughout her work in Ul'dah, she develops a sort of 'lazy technique' she has figured while watching the mages fight. "Grazing" her opponent's hits through parrying or avoiding blows at a hair's distance. While responding in kind with quick and ruthless succession, often with short skips and long dashes.
While this technique of her's places her in some vary dangerous positions. Her scrupulous thinking and quick reactions made sure the risk was often worth the reward, and especially useful against melee-based opponents.

Abilities

Echo - Attaining this ability during the Calamity. She received it during her close brush with death in Pharos Sirius. While it restored her eyesight on her right eye and changed it's color to a yellow similar to corrupted crystals. This ability would remain dormant much throughout her young adult life. Her echo allows her to switch soul crystals in mid-combat, allowing whatever form or stance to temporarily carried over to her new job crystal for a short duration. While this seems incredibly useful, she had only experienced this phenomenon twice in her life. Seemingly activating during times of great stress or when her body fears it is close to death. Another thing she had noticed is while she could choose to change to any class, switching to her Dark Knight soul crystal cancels it completely. And she usually experiences short term memory loss following the DRK switch when she's fallen out of combat.

Weapons of Choice

A 14mm - 6 chamber Revolver - Courtesy of her volunteer work in the Wolves' Den teaching and guiding curious adventurers around the vicinity. Her favorite firearm, it's heavy design allows her to use it to parry and block sword strikes against the occasional assailant. Her go-to weapon.
Sword and Shield - Though she has it gathering dust in the back of her seat on her Manacutter, she tends to carry it with her from time to time as several years of drilled instructions and fighting has already proved her worth as a gladiator and free paladin. Usually when her revolver fails to do the job, her sword arm is her guaranteed next bet.
Axe - Also gathering dust is her Axe skills, though seen a bit more frequent use due to the variety of larger game in her travels throughout Abalathia
Daggers - Her misericordes are a reminder from a distant dream, where she aimed to be one of the heroes in which her father's stories spoke of. Though she only takes them out during more "stealthier" approaches, she DOES tend to keep them on her persons due to ease of concealment.
Spear - A capable lancer, but nowadays used as her lance as a clothes dryer while flying
CQC - "Why bother spending gil on some crested hora when I can beat them with my spare fists... or shoot them."

Miscellaneous

Lsael's full name a combination of two slurred instances. Her first name was when she was found by her stepfather, repeating after him when he said the words "Let's sail" whilst dipping in and out of consciousness. Her last name was given to her by her stepfather. Knowing that giving her his own last name would never identify the Xaela as his own flesh and blood. Instead He gave her the name "Elilswerd", meaning (Exiled/Foreign-Sword) A testament on how he first encountered the feisty young lass jumping onto a garlean soldier and stabbing him with his own knife. Due to her tomboyish personality as a child, he figured a male's naming convention fit her perfectly. Though senility and constant drinking over the years took a toll on the old Sea Wolf's speech pattern. And to the young impressionable child took it upon herself to take up the last name "Elswer" When her Echo is activated and Lsael accidentally switches to her Dark Knight soulcrystal. What comes out is actually her Darkside form. Completely changing her personality to that of a deranged bloodthirsty berserker. This is also why she can't remember the final few seconds of ever entering her 'Echo' state.
