Height: Tall (for a Miqo'te), 5'4" Tall for a Miqo'te, R'das often stands out amongst her kin. A metalworker's lifestyle keeps her relatively fit, though her weight has been fluctuating. A majority of her weight is focused on her chest; which is of massive proportion in comparison to the rest of her frame. Even as a Miqo'te, her unerring sense of balance has suffered, leading her to often stumble during physical activities. Set into the Miqo'te's left ear is a curious device of Allagan origin. It remains mostly hidden under her fur, though on occasion it radiates a soft blue glow. She actively tries to avoid drawing attention to the device, often trying to change the subject of conversation or simply ignoring questions pertaining to it. Her skin is heavily tanned from years under the Thanalan sun. Covering it are a large number of faded tribal tattoos. Many seem to have faded almost entirely, R'das clearly not caring for their upkeep Perhaps most curious of R'das' body is her reactions to alchemical compounds. In the wake of a disastrous alchemical accident early in her childhood, potions and the like often have odd effects when imbibed by the Seeker. Of the reactions, curative potions have the most worrying, appearing to harm more than heal when consumed. |

Alignment: True Neutral R'das is a laid back individual. Unless she has immediate reason to do or care about something, she is often content to laze around and let things happen as they do. She is not a people-person, and often will go out of her way to avoid crowds or even smaller gatherings of people she does not know, usually requiring considerable effort to drag her from her comfort zone to meet new people. Several bad experiences have left their mark on her personality. She is slow to trust, and struggles to open up to even her closest friends. Her abrasive attitude covers a paranoia that her friends will abandon her, and much of her personality is constructed in a way to internalise the abandonment and cause it on her own terms. As can often be seen with her lack of caution when it comes to anything dangerous to herself, be it experimentation with magitek devices or adventuring forays, R'das' sense of self-preservation is either low or non-existent. The only exceptions are when her actions would put others at risk, as opposed to just herself. Frequently she has placed herself in danger, sometimes needlessly, just because it was a faster way to get something done.

Preferred Trade: Engineering R'das has maintained an interest in tradeskills for most of her life. She was a smithy's apprentice from a young age and since then her skills have only climbed. After her time as a simple smithy, she was taken in by an airship crew and learned, quite literally on the fly, what made the bird tick. When the crew disbanded, she began work as an airship engineer, and from there eventually branched into magitek. Her manner of magitek is a very haphazard one. Her entire creative process when designing devices, prototyping them, and testing them is a storm of chaos, unnecessary corner cutting, and high risk. That said, the devices that do come out the other end as completed projects are something to behold. Her most recent work is based in portable shielding technology - recreating miniaturised versions of large-scale energy shielding akin to Seiryu's Wall. She has a distinct aversion to goblin magitek and engineering, owing to its dangerous construction and rampant use of volitile ceruleum, even though her own crafts often possess the same qualities. If something blows up, she would at least like to know why it did. While far from a guild trained pugilist, R'das' tribe practiced a similar style of unarmed combat, leaving her capable of defending herself proficiently even without a weapon in her hands. Her style of fisticuffs is dirty and brutal, aiming to disable an attacker through overpowering aggression. On her person she carries at all times either a small steel firesand revolver, or one constructed from darksteel with various magitek additions, in a holster on her thigh. While working in areas where combat is a potential threat, she wears a patchwork of lightweight plating laced with various magitek systems. For situations where she needs more punch than either her fists or a revolver can provide, she carries a gunblade either on her person or within reach via long-distance teleportation. In terms of aetherial ability, R'das possesses little control of her own aether. She wears a miniaturised version of an aetherotransformer in the form of a bracelet, allowing technology to manipulate her aether for her. Being derived of Allagan make rather than Ishgardian, it boasts a higher throughput than a standard machinist's aetherotransformer, but also lacks any safety limitations. |
