All done.Name: Li RanverickAppearance:
Li stands at around 5'4 and has an athletic build, despite her somewhat small she remains quite strong, no where near the strngeth of a knight of any one who swings battleaxes on a daily basis, but still somewhat strong, mainly in her upper arms and back, from all that time pulling herself up to high places and shifting loot.
She dons this wear for agility more than anything else, however she does shift to darker clothing thats tighter to the skin and made from high quality leather if she knows that she will be going somewhere dangerous, or typically at night.Equipment: Two Steel daggers, one Iron shortsword, various trinkets and a bit of gold as well as a number of lockpicks.Age: 25Gender: FemaleSexual Orientation: BisexualPersonality: A very outward going person, odd given her "occupation", but nevertheless it's something that merely makes her a little less inconspicuous as she never gives off the appearance of being shady or someone who practices anything out of the realm of of the law.
Li steals from others for a number of reasons, the primary one is that she would make better of use of it than the previous owner ever could, like a rare brand of whiskey, she could definitely put that to great use over the space of a couple of nights.
Other than that she steals because it helps her survive, its good for money and she's good at it.
Locks undress for her when she looks at them in a certain way, a small blade or a shortsword feel right at home in her nimble fingers and the feeling of leaping from one rooftop into the open window of an opposite building makes her immensely happy.
Everything it takes to be to a good thief is something shes both proficient at and something she happily and gleefully performs; she cant think of another way of life.
Other than her joy for her work shes a sociable minx, someone who enjoys to get others into trouble, but of course nothing too major.
Shes loves music, she spends many a day in the rafters of local theatres and windows on streets that have musicians playing, she can quickly get entranced by a melody and just daydream.
At times it can be easy to mistake Li for a man, if based on mannerisms and actions alone, although she takes great offence to anyone who says something along of the lines of "you're not very ladylike" she regards herself as a woman, and she will be quick to remind you of that fact if your tongue slips.Bio: Li didn't really have an exciting childhood, she was forced to study and go to school like most middle class children, she had to uphold certain values and do things in a very particular way or face scorn from her peers and elders, this cookie cutter way of life was a dreadful bore, and above all extremely limiting.
She liked to climb, to explore to go places wheres hes not allowed to go, to do things she was not allowed to do.
She enjoyed the thrill of it, when she was scolded for climbing a 2 story house she had to dig her nails deep into her palm just to stop herself from smiling.
This is what makes Li, this sense of adventure and thrill of the chase; completely estranged from her family and the best thief in New Capita (self-given title).
She left her family home after an ultimatum was given to her to stop her deviant ways, and start acting like her age - she replied with that she was acting like her age, said Good bye and left - she wasn't completely kicked out however she returned from time to time to check up on them and to let them know that she still breathed and was living happily, her father could never really stomach it, but was always happy to see that she was indeed still alive, her mother couldn't care less what she did, so long as as she was safe and well.
Of course the day came when the cataclysm happened, the events that shook the entire island with their gravity and scope - one would not think that a thief would have any interest in it, but they would be wrong.
How can someone steal things if there's nothing left to steal?
Simple motivation, but enough for her to answer the call; as unlikely as it may seem.
@Heckno12@dabombjk
I find myself asking a very important question: Considering that Artyom has actually fought the shadowy monster things that more or less ate his homeland, what exactly did he encounter and what sort of tactics or abilities do they employ in combat? I know you said that it's grand plan is simply to grind everyone into dust via endless numbers but how does that actually play out in a proper battle?
Do they just keep sending wave after wave of 'solders' at the defenders so that they tire out and get cut down sooner or later? Just throw so much stuff at them at once that it is simply overwhelming? or are they more of a tyranid force in that if they encounter something that they are having trouble dealing with, they'll 'evolve' new units designed to deal with the issue in short order?

Oh if that's the case I might pick either Manakete, Fighter, or Apothecary then.
@dabombjkYou remind me of Mr.Tourgue from Borderlands, I like it- I read your posts in his voice, continue shouting sir.
My joke was successful. I can die in peace now.
I'll get a post up as soon as I can, and I'll move the CS over to the Charrys tab.
