Character
♦ General
Tatsu Torioi, as was her name when she arrived on the vessel, was designated as D’Ragan Kins: a code name that mimicked the savage, tribal Miqo'te she was disguised as. She was only fourteen when she was brought onto the vessel and taught of her alternative identity and role in the Empire as her citizen. She was raised a Garlean vassal and would be indoctrinated into her training until she was old enough to be sent on her first mission. There was not a day she could remember ever being off that boat. Trained in Ninjutsu and the local Taijutsu formerly regarded by Ala Mihgan she was educated in both the customs of the Old Empire and Doman politics. She could write, read, and speak both her native Hingan and speak broken Eorzean, writing and reading it with relative ease.
Over time she adapted the story of her Miqo'te family to memory. They were refugees of Ala Mihgo who eventually made it to the deserts of Thanalan to settle. She was set to be merged into a group of refygees. The science vessel had been moved after the Confederacy discovered it crossing their waters so they quickly set off to join the Agrius as soon as possible, under the orders of Gaius van Baelsar. But before the vessel could arrive at their location with the fleet at Silver Tear the catastrophe at the Agrius against Midgarsormr’s assault had leveled the whole of the coastal region turning it to a barren waste.
The remains of her ship eventually sailed adrift in the Merlthor Strait where it would eventually cross the Rhotano sea where the altered Rean was picked up by a pirating vessel who has learned of the scraps of the vessel were thrown to the five winds. With the aether inhibitors damaged by the aether rich explosion at Silver Tear her memories were fractures and mixed with the false background given to her by the Empire. The true epitome of a sleeper agent her memories would stay locked away as she settled among the Lominsans until she was, by sheer chance, eventually picked up by a Doman resistance group. Of all she remembers was the disaster at Mor Dhona and her waking at the Lominsan port in an infirmary where she slowly recovered and adapted to the Lominsan's dialect as was her training.
For her it began at in Yanxia on scientific vessel somewhere off the coast of what was once the proud nation of Doma in the Bay of Yanxia. For the purpose of publication the data had been redacted to allow for printing. As an addendum only high ranking science officers may officially access these documents as written by her handler [Redacted]. The following commentary was added as official observations as subject was lost somewhere around the Carteneau Flats at the edge of Cinderfoot River.
Tatsu Torioi, as was her given Yanxia name, was an experiment of the Empire hidden for years from superior officers until she was completed. One of many: their goal was to plant sleeper agents in the Eorzean Grand Companies as collectors of intel. It has been seen that if these sleeper agents were already part of structured families born of Eorzean households they were mroe quickly recieved into trusted position. It seemed the perfect way to climb the ranks of Eorzean politics without untold resources and time wasted on ineffecient means of gathering intel.
What we sought to do was to change the outer appearance of a person without detection. Eorzeans, by their very nature, were sensitive to changes in aether. By manipulating [Redacted] honed with [Redacted] they were able to produce specialized magitek devices that were surgically installed inside the body, at key points known as [Redacted]. They found it possible to project an image throughout the entire body by distorting the very aethher around and inside a being using a method similiar to how many suspect ghosts from the past are able to manifest in aether rich regions. They called it an [Redacted]. And it was to be a key tool in the Empire’s war against the savages with as little use of the Empire’s resources possible. She was not the only one experimented on, upon this vessel, but as far as we can surmise she is the only one to havebeen observed as long as she has. Only time will tell if she resurfaces again.
It seems a type of alcoholism was used to cope for the extreme pain caused by the implants, which likely malfunctioned after the disaster in Mor Dhona. It seems she was exposed to the high concentrations of aether after the Cereleum tank explosions which in the destruction of the Agrius could have caused the implants to deteriorate, releasing doses of poison into her syste. But that is mere speculation for now. No research exists on the objects as the ship and its scientists were destroyed utterly at Silver Tear and much of the research was highly secretive, lost in the Calamity. In the end the subjects in question still retains leveled clearence into Imperial posts ever should their implants malfunction.
They are trained to return home like messenger falcons.
Who was the real savage at the end of it all? Those who experimented on these youths or those who failed to recognize their own family amidst the changes? After all no amount of coaching could ever account for the minute differences in personalities. There are things even the Empire cannot control.
♦ Appearance
♦ Behaviour
The Forthright Direct and outspoken Tatsu is seen as an individual honest with her words which comes to an ironic contrast to her position as a mistress of the art of Ninjutsu which is steeped in lying, deception, and secrecy. She is scare gentle with her words and will give her opinion even if you did not ask for it.
The Gregarious. Fond of company the Au Ra is seldom alone and when she is the bells tick by like a snail on the march. She can be oft seen in a crowd, mixing among them. Though not always a talkative sort when she is, she is like a sparrow in the wind, singing her tales and going about with jokes and jests.
The Enigmatic. However forward she seems to be she has lived a life of loss and rarely speaks of herself in a tone one could consider serious. She has manners and ways about her that speak of mystery and intrigue. Despite her abrasive manners she seems to welcome the challenge of her company and is difficult to impress with shows of power, or deter with flights of weakness. It is hard to say what it is she truly believes in, simply that she -- believes.
The Analytical. Her mind is the sharpest weapon in her arsenal. A strategist by her nature the cunning Raen keeps aware of her environment and argues with those of highly opinionated views and who spirit away their weaknesses under the guise of faith: she is quick to employ logic to fight all topics from war to love.
The Affable. Easy to talk to she has no problem sitting and drinking with you or lending an ear to an ally or stranger. She is quick to laugh and quicker to friendship. While easy to make an ally she is ever more difficult to avert as an enemy.
Combat
Yanxian Ninjutsu A distinct type of Ninjutsu that mixes Doman ninjutsu with Yanxian hunting techniques stemming from the traditional hunting clans that migrated to Yanxia from Doma, following flocks of prey. This ninjutsu uses not only the classical hand signs but various taijutsu skills that take advantage of an Au Ra's natural spatial awareness to stalk and pounce prey or spring traps.
Ul'dah PugulismA lesser technique of the arts to carry from the Ala Mihgan refugees this art of fighting originated in the Coliseum and bolster using power to crush an enemy over speed. As such many of these skills provide the small Raen with a deadly strength when mixed with the athleticism of her Ninjutsu.
Calvary Traveling a great deal in her youth she is no stranger to riding long distances on Chocobo-back. She can sleep, eat, and ride a Chocobo in the foulest of weather having a capacity over others for long distance travel and combat. Her Chocobo is fully combat bred with mythril and cloth barding suited for mobility and protection.

★ Recent RP events ★
Weeks of pain she would wake up no longer in the body she had known for the last six months she was in Eorzea, at least so she had thought. All she could recall were the vivid nightmares of being caged up, tied down, and experimented on by Garlean scientists. Implants had been forced into her vertebra column and clipped into her horns, which caused extreme duress, pain, and memory loss over time as the experiment to alter her aether came to a disastrous end in an explosion. That is where her memory ended and began. What remains of these implants cannot be removed or risk deafening her or paralyzing her. Because of the aetheric and neural interference: much of her memories are broken and distorted. She cannot tell what belongs to her past and what was given to her to use for infiltration as a sleeper agent and now must piece together the context clues. What she does know is that, whatever this is, began in Ala Mihgo. No longer finding solace among the Resistance group she was meant to infiltrate and destroy she would move on. Without word she would pack up her possessions and move along, back to Lominsa. After struggling to explain her strange situation to her former employers, and they not caring to listen: put her back to work. For someone who had just had surgery on her back, though, such work was exhausting and painful. The pay was menial and degrading when compared to working in a Doman household. After a time a pair of Lalafell approached her, offering her thrice the pay of her current position to become a blade for them and theirs. She returns to the shores of Shirogame to a small town of hunters feeling, perhaps, she had found herself a home again. The healer of their group had began work on the scars left behind by the Garlean experiments. She had worked as a hunter in the the town hidden deep in the Bamboo Thickets of Shirogane. Battle after battle she found herself becoming more skillful with tracking the forests of Yanxia and the areas surrounding Kugane.
