She loves to hunt, travel and fawn over pointy things, and seems to enjoy getting on people's nerves. She's recently begun to learn the art of blacksmithing, though she believes herself a master already. Current location: Probably passed out in front of your local tavern. Open for Walkups when: Equipped as MRD/WAR or as some kind of smith with a purple bandana. Or with RP tag on, of course. Otherwise, please feel free to whisper or PM to set something up The "RP Hooks" tab can provide some ideas for RP scenarios General Appearance Jakatolui stands at about 5 fulms, 2 ilms tall, and has an athletic build. Her skin is a medium gray, and her hair white with dark blue ends. Her eyes are blue with icy limbal rings, sharp and accented by a horizontal bar of dark blue facepaint, which gives her a slightly intimidating glare. Her face is angular, yet youthfully rounded, and has dark scales on her cheeks and along her jawline, as well as a patch starting in the middle of her forehead, reaching down almost to the tip of her nose. On the sides of her head are a pair of horns, which jut forward following the shape of her jaw, ending in a point. Most often, she keeps her hair short, with bangs in the front and two long tails tied up on either side, falling behind her horns. Scales make their way down her neck, covering large parts of her body. This Au Ra can be seen wearing a number of things. When she's out, she likes to wear scale and plate armour, whatever she has obtained most recently. Around town she will often opt for more comfortable attire. A salmon vest, smithing gloves, some shorts, thigh high leather boots and a decorated purple bandana make up her usual outfit, though variation isn't uncommon. However, she will almost always be wearing gloves and boots, even when she dresses for the beach. Demeanor On initial meeting, Jakatolui is usually seen as energetic and excitable, especially given her labile temperament. She is similarly unreliable in her work and tends to follow impulsive whims, leading her to act recklessly more often than not. Despite this, she manages to adapt easily to different situations, being quite flexible so long as it helps her reach her goals. Lying is certainly not above her, and she often gives off the impression of being totally self-absorbed. This, in combination with her crude and juvenile sense of humor, makes her seem quite immature much of the time, however entertaining it may be to those watching from a safe distance. Despite this, her outlook is rather cynical and she is evasive when asked personal questions. Jakatolui tends to dislike authority, organised religion and people who actively keep her from having fun, but on occasion she can recognise when submitting to those people can pose an advantage for her. She could be described as adventurous in most regards of her life, and her primary motivators are to have fun and to gain recognition.

The cave-dwellers, once miners and crafters, fishermen and look-outs, now have only rubble and broken homes. The wanderers, once hunters and traders, now have no place to which they can return. Those who are of able-body have made their decision either to stay, to search for another home, or to join a new tribe.

She's learning how to swing them in the intended direction. ■ Smithing : Who knew that smithing was mostly about hitting stuff with a hammer until it turns into a weapon? ■ Fishing : Easy to exchange for goods and crafting materials along her travels, and they fill the belly when absolutely necessary. Though she doesn't always have the patience to wait for bites and sometimes ends up scaring away the fish. ■ Gambling : Turn your luck into prizes! For a lucky gal like Jakatolui, it sounds like a dream come true. Weaknesses/Faults ■ Blind to her own faults : What do you mean the weapon I sold you's not good enough? You're not good enough! ■ Can't take criticism : See "Blind to her own faults." ■ Low alcohol resistance : She likes the stuff, but she's actually not so good at holding her liquor. ■ Terrible salesman : Jakatolui thinks what she makes is the best around, so often she will either not put any effort into sales (thinking the "quality" speaks for itself), or flat-out lie about how "amazing" it is. Relationships ❤ Crush ❤ Platonic Love ❤ Romantic Love ❤ In a relationship ● Good Standing ● Neutral Standing ● Poor Standing Those Closer ● Qaratolui Noyakir -- Her twin brother, actually slightly older than her, but she'll never let him know that. Jakatolui always got the impression her parents favoured him, so she always tried to show him up whenever she could, even pulling pranks on him and trying to frame him when she got caught. After a while he caught on and spoiled her fun by being hard to track down, hiding in the caves where she found it too musty. After her first journey, she never saw Qaratolui again. She figures he's probably still hiding in the caves somewhere. Those Further Rumors ◢ Common Rumors (Easily overheard) ■ "'Nother one of them horned lizardfolk came through here the other day. Seemed pretty energetic, almost got in a fight with the barkeep. What is the deal with those things?" -- Confused peddler ◢ Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear) ■ "That smith sold me a faulty shield! I'd have complained, but when I went over there she gave me the meanest look. Are those horns of hers real?" -- Frightened patron ◢ Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard) ■ "Did you say... Jakatolui? Any woman going by that name is probably bad news. I'd stay away from her if I were you." -- Nervous auri wanderer Player Character Rumors (( Feel free to add some!)) ■ "~" -- ~ ■ "~" -- ~ RP Hooks and Potential Connections General ■ Jakatolui frequents smithing workshops often enough (though she may get kicked out). If you see her there, feel free to tell her what a great job she's doing. ■ Jakatolui finds herself at bars pretty often. She likes to try the different drinks people make up, and wouldn't mind someone to foot the bill. ■ Jakatolui goes to the Gold Saucer pretty often. No, she doesn't have a gambling problem, though she wouldn't mind having someone blow on her dice or split the cost on her next cactpot ticket (though don't expect a fair cut of the winnings). ■ Anyone hanging around Hawker's Alley might hear her arguing with merchants and patrons alike. Nobody seems to understand her unique genius. ■ Like camping? Maybe Jakatolui will pay your bonfire a visit and consume half of your food and ale. Unless you're having fish. ■ If you've got a pest problem, or just want to watch someone swing an axe around wildly, Jakatolui would be happy to help. ■ Jakatolui often has an unusually high amount of weapons on her person, even some she has no idea how to use. If you want to trade/think she's suspicious/are looking to rob someone, feel free to try. ■ If you spend a lot of time at the Miner's Guild in Ul'dah, you might have seen Jakatolui trying to get some ore from them for cheap, or just hanging around their bar. ■ Sometimes you might find her fishing by just about any body of water. Or, well, attempting to fish. Feel free to say hi, they likely aren't biting anyway. ■ Jakatolui is pretty unfamiliar with magic, so if you do something even slightly magical she'll probably be amazed. Even more so if she's had a few drinks already. Tribe ■ If your character has ever ventured near the northern mountains of Othard, they might have heard of or even met some of the Noyakir tribe's traders. ■ If your character was actually part of the Noyakir tribe, then you probably know who Jakatolui is. Or at least her family. Currently Looking For IC ■ "Clients." No, not that kind! Jakatolui sells her wares as a smith. They are usually pretty shoddy, but she doesn't know that! ■ Suppliers. She's only very modestly skilled at gathering her own materials, so someone willing to sell her mats for cheap would be perfect. ■ People to buy her drinks (she calls them "friends"). Jakatolui likes to have fun, but makes no money selling garbage. Don't expect an automatic invitation to spend the entire evening with her, however. OOC ■ Some friends! She's pretty loud so meeting people probably won't be difficult, but finding people who tolerate her antics might be rare. ■ Haters. Yep. Au Ra are suddenly popping up everywhere, and I don't expect everyone to like it. It's not like Jakatolui's got a great rep, either, so it may be for different reasons. If you've got a bone to pick, feel free to get in her face about it. Though she may bite.
