NAME / Ahtzarael Ryssahctwyn
RACE / Roegadyn
AGE / 28
GENDER / Female
BIRTHPLACE / Aerslaent, The Northern Empty
OCCUPATION / Safecracker, Smuggler
SERVER / Balmung// A career criminal who has only ever known greed as gospel, Ahtzarael is a person over-burdened with both material posessions and the overwhelming need to acquire more of them. She comes from one of the smaller islands of Aerslaent in the Northern Empty, where she served as the ship’s navigator for a crew of smugglers and thieves sailing the Bloodbrine Sea.This came to an abrupt end when she was left stranded in Eorzea by a devastating shipwreck, which she only survived thanks to some merciful intervention by a gang of career criminals. With her whole life at the bottom of the ocean, and nowhere else to go, she reluctantly decided to seek out employment with her rescuers. She is eager to make the best of her fresh start and become a better person, but has only more deeply entrenched herself in Eorzea's black markets and criminal underground since her arrival.

Ahtzarael is a fun, sociable, and entertaining lady, and I can find a reason for her to interact with almost anyone! At her core, she's a gal who desperately wants to grow and become a better person, but she can't seem to help wasting her fresh start by falling into her same old bad (criminal) habits.I'm always excited to figure out a fun starting point for how our characters can meet, or even know one another already. But, I've also listed a few bits and things from her backstory and character traits that could serve as hooks below if you want to get right into it.// Aerslaent Native
Ahtzarael comes from one of the smaller islands of Aerslaent in the Northern Empty. Though obviously a foreigner in Eorzea, she's well familiar with the customs of her homeland and the nearby nation of Sharlayan.// Smuggler
Before she came to Eorzea, Ahtzarael served as the ship's navigator for a crew of smugglers for many years. All of this came to an end when an encounter with the Maelstrom sent their ship to the bottom of the Indigo Deep. Though she's a little out of her element in Eorzea, she's still capable of assisting with moving things discretely from place to place.// Safecracker
An expert safecracker and lockpick, there are few barriers that can stand in the way of what Ahtzarael wants. Always available for hire, she will happily foil any supposedly impenetrable safe, vault, door, or cell you direct her toward.// Golden Goddess Gemworks
Ahtzarael works at a jeweler's named Golden Goddess Gemworks, owned by her colleague Distant Sun. On its face it's a normal shop, but in actuality it deals exclusively, and secretly, in cursed items. Ahtzarael will happily help you purchase an object that will bring misery or injury to an enemy, and just as gleefully sell dangerous items to unfortunate, unaware customers who simply want some new accessories. Check out golden-goddess.carrd.co for the shop.// Astromancy
Though she knows nothing about astrologians culturally, Ahtzarael is reasonably talented at calling on both benefic and malefic constellations to aid her in dangerous situations. Her magic is unrefined and would look wild, even sloppy, to any truly dedicated practitioner.// Tinkerer
While she is no mechanic, and certainly not an inventor, Ahtzarael enjoys tinkering, especially with the small, meticulous sort of work found in tinier devices and chronometers. She's the sort of person who can easily dismantle an unfamiliar contraption and summarily put it back together again in working order, and she possesses an intuitive talent for understanding how something works just by observing it.

CAN SHE DO ANY COOL STUFF?Ahtzarael is an expert safecracker and lockpick. There are few barriers that can stand in the way of what she wants, and she has foiled many supposedly impenetrable safes, doors, and cells. Beneath the styled hair, particular makeup, and extravagant clothes, is a mechanically minded individual who approaches every obstacle with diligence, patience, and focus.While she is no mechanic, and certainly not an inventor, Ahtzarael enjoys tinkering, especially with the small, meticulous sort of work found in tinier devices and chronometers. She's the sort of person who can easily dismantle an unfamiliar contraption and summarily put it back together again in working order, and she possesses an intuitive talent for understanding how something works just by observing it.Before she came to Eorzea, she worked with a crew of smugglers for most of her life, and is adept at finding ways to sneak items of all kinds in and out of places she isn’t supposed to be. As the ship’s navigator of the crew, she is well-versed in finding her way by the stars and charting courses with standard nautical instruments. She also learned some basic astromancy from the crew’s previous navigator, and though she knows nothing about astrologians culturally, she is reasonably talented at calling on both benefic and malefic constellations to aid her in dangerous situations.

WHAT'S SHE LOOK LIKE?Though Ahtzarael towers over most people she meets, she has such an amicable way about her that she’s rarely the most intimidating person in the room. On the surface she is boisterous and high-energy, and it’s difficult to look at her and see someone who has done dark things.She has a pale, stormy-gray complexion and short black hair, the cut of which is constantly changing depending on her mood. She has a maximalist aesthetic, favoring colorful makeup and extravagant clothes, though she knows when a situation calls for something a bit more muted. Though it is usually partially concealed with makeup, there is a thin scar on her face that passes over her left eye.Despite her good-natured mannerisms and sometimes delicate way of dressing, she is visibly well-muscled and her hands are thickly calloused, suggesting her background was not nearly as luxurious as her outfits.
