Character

K'airos was born in a tribe of the Sagolii desert, which she left behind, along many of the huntresses, to fight in the Battle of Cartenau. Thinking that her tribe was destroyed due to the Calamity, she went on to become a Brass Blade in Ul'dah. Five years ago, she abandoned her post and killed a member of the Sultansworn during a fit of anger. She was promptly imprisoned, acussed with murder, and officially executed. Yet here she is.

She has red hair, dark skin and blue eyes. She can often be seen an obscuring hood and, a few other times, a feather headress or a feathered helmet, Her chosen attire varies wildly and depends on the occassion.

Relationships

• Father Baudelaire: A travelling Ishgardian priest.
• Irina Reingarn - Pupil of Baudelaire.
• Ruphia Reingarn - Sister of Irina and Baudelaire's appointed bodyguard by the bishop.

History

When asked about her past, K'airos claps her hands together and rolls her eyes away. She claims to have been abducted and sold as a slave five or six years ago. She changed hands a few times, although she recalls none of her masters, until one of them put her on a ship to the New World. In that voyage, she met an Ishgardian priest who would later buy and free her. Sadly, she was in an unknown continent, with no means to go back home. Since her tribe had died in the Calamity, she decided that there wasn't a home to go back to. She followed the priest, acting as bodyguard and servant, much to his disaproval. But there was no stopping her. She'd continue to follow him for four years, until his path brought her back to Eorzea. There they parted ways, and she went on to find a home in the Black Shroud.

Roleplay Hooks

• She was a huntress of the Hipparion tribe, in the Sagolii Desert, before parting to fight at Cartenau against the Garlean Empire. Maybe you are from that tribe, or you fought by her side before the Calamity?
• She used to be a very lively, very friendly Brass Blade, five years ago. Her station shifted between Camp Drybone and Ul'dah. Maybe you recognize her from then, for some odd reason?
• While she was a Brass Blade, one could swear she had a sister.
• During that time, she used to 'confiscate' and 'misplace' pretty objects that would later mysteriously appear between her belongings. Did she steal anything from you?
• She threw a Sultansworn off a flight of stairs in the Husting Strips and killed him. Hopefuly he wasn't one of his friends. But maybe you met her in her brief stay in prison? Or perhaps you saw her when she was carried away to be 'executed' by hooded thaumaturges, of all people?
