Appearance

As a Naerikk, Linika's attention to her aesthetic adornments is a high priority. In both her application of make-ups, and in the accessorizing of her attire, her aim for a grand statement of style and color, without broaching the realm of garishness, is absolute. And while different cultures draw the line on what is decorative overkill in different places, none could accuse her of a mismatch in any way. Her self display is consistently applied and harmonious, in both stylings, and in range and intensity of color.

Also, as a Naerikk, her readiness for combat is a constant. Linika's outward apparel of colorful silk scarves and flowing shawls conceal the underpinnings of leather protection. Her rings are primarily brightly cosmetic stones of little value, save for the element of surprising impact when she swings a fist. More than one of them may conceal a dose of poison or narcotic aid. Visually, she prefers layers of colors, swirling in motion as she strides about town. The loose flowing sleeves of her arms and leggings are unlikely to betray the daggers frequently hidden there. The sandals are adorned with colorful affectations, the shiny, decorative metal fittings on the toe covers giving the same martial benefit as the rings on her fingers.

She is quite fit, due to her regimen of exercise and diet, though the slight bulk of leather might make it seem otherwise. Linika is not on the tall side for her race, standing 7 inches beyond 5 feet. There is always just a trace of slouch in her walk. This is not from any sort of lax posture or defeatist attitude, but rather from the knowledge that a stiffly erect posture does not lend itself well to swift and agile reaction to danger. Her eyes, lined with color and glitter like all Naerikk, are always moving. Her long hair is dark as the Cylus sky, and is coiffed with long, colorfully beaded pins that will serve as weapons in a pinch.

Since becoming "Adored" of Yvithia, Linika has a subtle blue tint to her skin. It requires considerable cosmetic detail to hide this feature, as well as the darker, bluish, scar-like Xypha mark across her right eye. But even when circumstances cause this mark to show through her cosmetic efforts, most people who see it refuse to believe it is not mockery, falsely applied on purpose as an insult to Viden, its culture, and its queen.
Cold as Ice - Ashan 42, 718
Cold as Ice: Although she was treated after her unwise dip in the icy waters of Synnefa Bay, Linika will find that a cough lingers in her lungs. It’s annoying more than anything, flaring up with seeming randomness although it’s particularly noticeable when she exerts herself.
Personality

Linika displays the characteristically subtle disdain for non-Naerikk people, though she is capable of concealing it when necessary. She knows she will occasionally have to endure such company in her bid to unravel what may allow her matron goddess, Audrae, to usurp this city, region and world, and take it for her own.

Progress toward this goal is the most likely thing to bring genuine joy to her face. While there are certain to be times where the suffering of an enemy will bring a smile, it will be a cold smile, edged with malice. But as an agent of Audrae, under the guise of having been exiled by her people, Linika's true joy will truly soar untainted with each step she accomplishes toward this end. This is not only because of her genuine belief that Audrae and her race are meant to rule Idalos, but it also brings her closer to the time when she can cast off this shameful title of "Eill" and be welcomed back into Augiery's fold.

She is manipulative and untrusting, though an assessment of strength and reliability will cause her to develop respect for a non-Naerikk. And any person she truly respects she will treat honestly, save for revealing her purpose.
History

Born to a "Reapon" guardswoman, it was expected that Linika would follow in that martial tradition. But she found instead a calling to chemistry. Early on, she was finding ways to glean effective substances from seemingly harmless sources. Nothing world-shaking; but this or that garnish, dipped in this or that sap, and placed on this particular dish, caused the one who ate the dish to become comically dizzy, or have their words slurred. Her talent was noted silently.

This first brought reprimand upon her for her horseplay. But as her attempts to follow her expected path resulted only in disappointment for both herself and her Reapon mother, it was soon decided that perhaps she should indulge her affinity for creative chemistry after all. There was soon an operation against the rising power in Athart, on the great peninsula across the Southern Main. Athart had refused to honor a slave trading arrangement, and Linika was ordered to accompany the reprisal team, to provide toxins for the weapons.

The operation went wrong and the team found themselves in retreat from a much greater force, with the likelihood of becoming slaves themselves. But Linika had discovered a plant with a unique characteristic that not only greatly increased the potency of her toxin, but allowed it to be spread as a clinging airborne malaise that gave all the appearances of a disease. She also calculated what derivatives would give her team a resistance to this toxin sufficient to operate with few debilitating effects.

But it needed a live body to properly "percolate". Without getting permission, she maimed one of her own team and left her to be captured, to spread this "disease" to their enemy. All the Athartians sickened then, and were easily killed, except for a few taken back to Augiery as slaves. And as an added bonus, Athart mistakenly blamed the servants of Lisirra for the ambush.

But her Naerikk "sister" died as well. And though it allowed the rest of the team to escape, it was still a violation of basic Naerikk policy. Linika knew she had committed a grave transgression, and stoically awaited punishment. But either the Invini or the Immortal Mother herself had been impressed by the girl's quick-thinking ruthlessness. And her effective, spontaneous application of such a newly discovered reagent gave the powers in Augiery an idea of just what a natural talent she was. And it was decided then how Linika could be both punished and employed to the benefit of Audrae's agenda.

It was known that the Immortal Yvithia hated Audrae with a passion. It was also suspected that there was some connection between the humans of Yvithia's city, Viden, and the relatively recent appearance of the race, the Eidisi. It was decided that Linika would suffer a very public shaming and exile, accompanied by the branding of the title "Eill", for her crime against her Naerikk "sister". But the real purpose, as she was told in private, was to go eventually to Viden and spend what time it took to get accepted as an exile and reject from Audrae's fold.

She would probably encounter other Naer women upon her travel north, and would have to bear the sneers of "Eill" as part of the "punishment" aspect of this decision. But she was to infiltrate and spy out this enemy stronghold, find its secret, and use her skills with toxins to undermine whatever program Audrae's hated enemy had underway there. Only then could she return to Augiery, to heroic renown.

Knowing of the sub-zero climate in Viden, she was assigned to first spend some time in the mountains of her own southern continent, developing the knowledge to survive such an environment. As well, she studied a map of the layout of Viden. She was then warned that she should also expect little or no welcome from Viden's NON-Naerikk inhabitants, and that this would also serve as suitable punishment, in addition to the long term away from the sisterhood of Augiery.

She was instructed to take nothing provocative with her, seeing as she would most likely be under great scrutiny when she arrived. Any talents and equipment she needed to obtain would have to be by her own conniving. As a result, the bulk of her provisions centered on preparation for the cold weather. Lastly, she was reminded that any other Naerikk she encountered would know only that she was "Eill", so she should speak nothing of her mission to them, nor expect any help from them. Wits, patience and opportunism would be her only trusted allies.

Linika does not fool herself. This mission is risky in the extreme, with painful repercussions potentially coming from a variety of directions. She knows she was selected because of her crime. If she dies in the attempt, it will be justice for her guilt. If she succeeds, it will also be justice, as it is the only thing that could offset that guilt. It has now been five arcs since that Athart incident, and Linika has settled into Viden.

The Turn

Beginning here, and developing over the course of two years' REAL TIME role-playing, with this major step by Yvithia, and this betrayal by Audrae, and many smaller steps in between, Linika has turned from Augiery to embrace Yvithia as her new Matron Queen. She received a warning of the global attack by Lisirra, Aelig and Syroa's shadow beasts in the Cold Cycle of 716, and sought to warn her "Great Mother", Audrae. But because Audrae's enemies gained some benefits of the warning as well, Linika's cover as a traitor and exile was made genuine and she became a marked, priority target of Naerikk hatred and violence.

It took a great deal of this to bring Linika to the brink of truly rejecting Audrae however, as she would always tell herself that it was "just a ploy" to reestablish her cover story with "faked" threats. But Yvithia took the belligerent operative under her care, marking her with her blessing as a means of redeeming a character with such a pure level of devotion. Linika, of course, considered the mark a curse at first, but soon found the new abilities she'd gained to be useful, and even to be life-saving in the case of one assassination attempt.

As an additional perk, the fact of her unique status as the perfect person to be a spy for Viden was not lost on her. Such singular status as "the best" of anything would naturally appeal to her. And finally, when she was killed in a fight, by a poisonous snake that was supposed to have been removed from the fighting ring, but was treacherously slipped back in, Yvithia came and resurrected her, at no small detriment to her own health. This finally cemented Linika's devotion. And as a hybrid Naerikk/Edisi, unique in all the world, Linika has found a new purpose in a life given wholly to Yvithia.

NPCs and Pets
Elyne
Image
Name: Elyne
Sex: Female
Race: Human
Date of Birth: 25 Cylus 708
Description: Currently standing at 4' 6" and weighing roughly 70 pounds, Elyne has dirty blonde hair and grey-blue eyes. She's quite athletic and fit for her age, has a typically sunny disposition and is prone to smiles which show off the single dimple in her left cheek.
Skills:
Acrobatics: 10
Cooking: 20
Endurance: 25
Running: 30
Unarmed Combat (Unspecialised): 15
Relationship to PC: Adopted daughter - rescued from the Mountainside Orphanage in Viden in this thread.
"Personal NPC" - will cost 10gn per season.
Sparky
Image
OOC:This animal is a reward from the same thread from which Elyne was obtained. Little Lost Orphans

IC: "Sparky" was purchased by Linika just ten or fifteen trials after the above mentioned thread took place.
He was born at about the same time that the thread took place.
He is a purebred Videnese Snow Setter.

Learning that this breed was especially hardy, having been developed for use in the frigid climes of Viden, and that they are more focused on the protection of family members to whom they have bonded, rather than property, Linika felt such a pet would be ideal to grow with her adoptive daughter, Elyne.

Pups are only 15 gold, but Linika will not hesitate to have training provided; ideally, conducted with the presence and involvement of Elyne herself. This should help further establish the bond, as well as the focus of training priorities for both parties.

Ability NameAbility Description
FAVORED:The Following Abilities:
Telepathic Communication (Minor)As the Immortal of Communication, Yvithia is synonymous with spoken and written language. But those who truly wish to follow the Immortal find themselves with the ability to communicate with others with nothing more than their minds. With this ability, the Favored Xypha can send communications willingly with those within their range of vision, so long as the person's eyes can be seen. This ability can be used indefinitely as long as the two parties remain within visual range of each other. However, at this level, the Xypha cannot receive the thoughts back, only send his or her own.
Intuitive LinguistWith this ability, the Xypha can choose any one EASY language and rank up to Fluent for free. This language may be denoted with an [XY] in the list, and may exceed the language cap imposed by the character's Linguistics skill.
The Intellectual's Skills IAdd an extra three skill points to one of the following skills: Linguistics, Mathematics, Meditation, Research, Teaching. These points may allow the skill to exceed the 100 cap.
IdentifyBy observing or hearing a gestured or verbal language, the Favored Xypha instinctively knows the name of the language and the region where it is most commonly used. Additionally, this allows the Xypha to know the place from which the speaker hails as well. Often used for determining intent, this ability does not allow the Xypha to understand the language, if they do not already know it.
Perfect CopyCommunication and Language are important domains to Yvithia, and with this ability the Favored Xypha can accurately copy any document he or she has ever read, whether they remember the exact details or not. This also transcends language barriers, so that they may write what the document said, even if they have no real knowledge of the language. They cannot understand what they've written, but instead regurgitate the information verbatim.
Emotional PaletteBy using this ability, the Xypha takes on metaphorical coloured lenses. As they look over others in their immediate vicinity, the person takes on a shade of colour depending on their strongest emotion. For happiness, this is a yellow nimbus around them, anger is red vein-like streaks on their skin. Sadness is blue swirling clouds over their skin, envy is green ivy-like vines twirling the person's extremities. Those with this ability and Empathy are able to more easily identify the emotion, and often leads to easier manipulation of the emotions through Empathy.
The Telesthetic BoonOnce per trial, for two breaks, the Xypha can hear streams of conscious thought around him or her. The greater the number of individuals around him or her, the harder it is to make sense of the jumble of thoughts. Without training, this is overwhelming and can cause the Xypha to black out, should they be around too many people. But with training and understanding of the ability, the Xypha gains the powerful tools necessary to hear and anticipate the coming actions of those around them.
The Mental LibraryWith this ability, all Xypha are linked mentally and are able to share any information they've ever read from a book or scroll. This ability allows them to transmit the information over the link, and effectively share research and information with any and all Xypha tuned in. Though this ability does not give the Xypha the skills required to utilize the knowledge, it does impart to them the ability to understand a subject thoroughly. This ability is limited to a link between those Xypha who have met each other, with no transitory exchange allowed. The Xypha who initially added an item to the Mental Library has to have met the Xypha trying to use his or her information.
Borrowed KnowledgeWith this ability, the Favored Xypha can borrow knowledge of skills they already know for a temporary amount of time. By accessing this knowledge, the Xypha can perform feats they would not normally be able to, but they don't retain the knowledge when the ability ends. This applies only to skills the Xypha already knows, and lasts only one break at this level.
ADORED:The Following Abilities:
Telepathic LinkThe first ability an Adored of Yvithia learns, this allows the Xypha to establish a telepathic link with any one person. The link remains as long as the Xypha desires, though they must consciously end it when they wish to. This allows the Xypha and their chosen recipient to speak back and forth telepathically. Verbal nuances such as sarcasm or tone are indistinguishable at this level, but they may relay whatever information they want.
Intuitive PolyglotThe Xypha may take, at this level, any Medium difficulty language and rank up to Fluent for free. This cannot be exchanged for two Easy, or any type of combination. This language may be denoted with an [XY] in the list, and may exceed the language cap imposed by the character's Linguistics skill.
The Intellectual's Skills IIAdd an extra six skill points to one of the following skills: Linguistics, Mathematics, Meditation, Research, Teaching. These points may allow the skill to exceed the 100 cap.

A simple bronze bracelet, a slim twist of metal that bears a half carat hackmanite gem. The gem has a violet colour but once exposed to the light, it shifts to a grey-white. When it’s placed in the dark again the violet hue will return.
Good Quality Tamo Daggers - v20
Tamo daggers come in pairs, and are designed to have the blades slide into each others' hilts. The hilts will then match and align to appear as a single bar or rod and can be used as a club. This set is covered in leather, which has been worked to appear as a single scroll case when the hilts are joined.

Writing Gear

Reservoir Pen
Set of 5 extra pen nibs
10 8 sheets, Vellum
1 vial of Black Ink
1 vial of Ink Thinner
Forgery Quill - v20
a beautiful quill among their rewards, which has a white feather that remains pristine. When they write with this quill, their penmanship is not at all like their own as if another was guiding their hand, meaning that they can write anything without fear of their handwriting being recognised. It does not need to be sharpened and does not suffer wear and tear but it is highly flammable.

Frequently Carried

Hotlands Glass Scope (Stolen from Yanahalqah - v10)
Tinderbox
Lantern
2 vials, Lantern oil
12 wrapped, Oil-Soaked Torches
Sewing Needles and Spool of Thread
Jar of Antiseptic Alcohol
Echo Scroll - v18
Magic Flipping Coin - spent thread v-26
Dried Herbal Poultice Mix
6 Hollow-Shafted Sleep Agent Arrows - v27
15 Small Cloth Strip Bandages
Sweetleaf Jelly - v20
Jar of dark green gel with a label tied to the lid with string. The label names the substance as ‘Sweetleaf Jelly’ and it is described as a healing salve for cuts and bruises, which should be applied generously. The content is thick and has a pungent aroma, something like a cross between strong mint and grass. The jar contains enough for five treatments of minor cuts and bruises or two treatments of deeper, stitched wounds.
Dowsing Rod - v20
Y-shaped stick about two foot in length and made of a pale white wood. When moved, silvery blue veins seem to shimmer within its surface, the colouring similar to that of a Xypha mark. Most importantly, if one uses it like a dowsing rod, it can lead the bearer to a source of knowledge they need whether that be a book, a person, or another source. Unfortunately, its range is limited to a 10 yard radius and it will swing wildly outside of that range.
Aurora Guide - v20
A roll of parchment tied with a dark blue ribbon that once unrolled reveals a stunning painting of an Aurora Glider. Underneath the image is a rough map of the bird’s typical flight patterns. Someone has scrawled the message: They make good mounts if you can catch one.
Eidisi Ragdoll - v20
A pretty ragdoll made of soft materials and styled like an Eídisi woman. Something that might be of use for any children you might encounter… or maybe you’d like to keep it for yourself!
Glowing Plant Bottle - v20
A stoppered and wax-sealed glass vial contains a thin, spindly plant. It has a dark brown stem and a few offshoots with silvery leaves. The unusual thing about it is that it gives off a soft green glow while in the dark, its own bioluminescence and it seems able to sustain itself. If the stopper is removed or the glass is broken then the plant will shrivel instantly and become rigid and black.
Casino Cards - v20
A deck of cards of good quality and on careful examination, it’s clear that they’re subtly marked on the back to give those in the know an indication of what’s on the front. These are the kind of cards that you can use to cheat in games… provided that you don’t get caught.
Viden Compass - v20
A sleek compass with an etching of an owl on a branch, the symbol of Yvithia, on the back. However, it doesn’t seem to point north. If used within Viden, the needle will spin wildly but once beyond its icy infrastructure, the needle will always point towards the city itself. An odd trinket indeed.

Kept at Home

Broom and Dustpan
Wash Basin
Waterproofing Oil
Fireplace Rod-and-Hook Frame
2 Boiling Pots
Room-scenting Potpourri Sachet
Lg. 10'' deep Laquered, Woven Bloat Grass Basket
2 Large, and 2 Small Towels
Bundle of Rags
Selma's Amulet - M-3
small vial of frozen Brightfern spores - v7
16oz Bottle of Aranaz Apple Pear Brandy in a Fancy Bottle (from Dec. Holiday Event)
Basic Chemist's Kit - v15
A fine, off-white comb that seems to hum with soft music when it’s used. A useful item but also a curiosity. - v20
Dire Boar Horn - v20
Someone decided to include a horn cup in your bag and whoever it was had a dark sense of humour. Painted on the surface in dark red paint are scenes of a Dire Boar hunt and includes a segment where the boar’s tusks are removed. A macabre gift but oddly mesmerising, especially as the paint on the surface almost looks like blood…
Golden Slippers - v20
Someone has added a pair of golden slipper shoes with ribbon trim to your bag. They’re light, very ostentatious and quite comfortable. Oddly enough, whoever put them there seems to know your exact size…
Owl Rattle - v20
A wooden statuette of Yvithia’s owl without the branch. While it’s quite pretty, when moved, there’s a distinct feeling of something rattling in there. The only way to find out what is to break it open though… [PM me if you decide to go the smashing route!]
Nutty Nightcap - v20
A small flask filled with a clear fluid, a potent alcohol. It isn’t clear what it is exactly but it has a faint taste of nuts and a few sips is enough to lower your inhibitions remarkably quickly although you only feel slightly tipsy. If you drink more than a few sips in one sitting, you’ll find yourself remarkably drunk and have to sleep it off.
