Personality

Laila is a cheery girl with a big heart and a strong work ethic. As far as she’s concerned, life’s all about doing right by your own. Anyone that’s just out for themselves should be ashamed, and anyone that’s leeching off their fellows is a crook. She believes everyone has a duty to pitch in for others when they’re in need, but if they’re taking when they don’t need, than that’s just not right. Naturally, she has a burning hatred for the Librarium, and wants nothing more than to see them gone for good. She’s a blunt and straightforward type, always keen to speak her mind and not possessing a lick of tact or delicacy. In fact, she didn’t know what those words meant until sometime after joining the Cloud Chasers. The way she sees it, the world is a simpler place than people give it credit for. You just need to see past the bullcrap and do what’s right.

| History: |
Laila comes from a village called Sangin in one of Pandora’s rural regions. They were never the wealthiest bunch, and that was exacerbated by the system of exploitation carried out by the Decretius Librarium. Laila grew up helping out her family and those around her with the farmwork, and she grew used to hard physical toil from an early age. She also grew used to the sight of Librarium personnel coming to seize as much of their produce as they could. She quickly came to resent the Librarium just as most in the village did, and the word “Deacon” became synonymous with “bully”. Few enjoyed the Librarium’s oversight, but for the most part, everyone managed to eke out a living from what they did. Laila and the other villagers tended to just keep their noses down and keep working, hoping that things would change for the better eventually.

On Laila’s 13th birthday, things did change…for the worse. A sudden blight destroyed a large portion of the village’s crops for the year. It was a bad situation, though at first, Laila’s parents assured her everything would be okay; they could subsist on the small amount they had left and get back to normal next year. However, the local Deacon had other plans. He announced that the village was obligated to meet its production quota, and that he would be taking what they had left no matter what. The villagers protested swiftly, and in the midst of the action, Laila thought it would be the greatest idea ever to give the Deacon a swift kick in the nuts. She certainly succeeded, and even got away without a punishment, but the Deacon didn’t forget the little girl that humiliated him in front of everyone. Knowing she would be punished if she remained, Laila’s parents decided she had to be sent away. Fortunately, they had one solid method of getting her out of harm’s way; the village had a contact in the Cloud Chasers. They arranged for Laila to be taken in by them. Laila didn’t want to leave, but they assured her it was for the best.

It wasn’t long after being taken in by the Cloud Chasers that Laila learnt to use magic. Over the next 10 years, she became a talented fighter and mage, always eager to live up to the creed of the Cloud Chasers. While she’s more than dedicated to the group, her eyes are always cast beyond random acts of opportunistic altruism; she yearns for the day when the Librarium is just a bad memory for Pandora, and when she can return to Sangin and get right back to the farms she left behind.

As both Laila and Lal predicted, Asahi soon found himself keeling over, but not before he vomited all over the bar and made a big show of it. Laila felt a little bad for not trying to say something about this, but then again, she wasn't sure Asahi would have listened if she had. With his pride on the line, he probably didn't feel like listening to the voice of reason. In the middle of his big scene, the announcement of the start of the event rang out. It seemed like more than a few people were more interested in going to watch than helping Asahi off the floor. Laila for one started moving to help him, while Lal made for the exit.

"What, you don't feel like helping your fellow pirate?" She asked after him.

"Well, he did just cost me a good few coins." Lal answered before leaving without a care. Laila just shook her head. She knew he didn't really mean to be mean, but even if Asahi was being a big dummy, they shouldn't leave him lying in his own puke. Fortunately, some of the others had already mustered to help him out. Sania had washed him off, and Henry was there to help too. As Asahi came to, Laila moved in to help him up along with the others. The kicker was that Asahi seemed to have no insight into what had just happened.

"Asahi, sometimes I think your magic is the brightest thing about you." She remarked. She wasn't entirely sure if he was taking the piss or if he wholeheartedly believed it was just how strong the ale was. But if he was for real, she wondered if he would even understand the full meaning of what she just said. In any case, at least his obliviousness meant he wasn't going to object to going along with the bet conditions. She could definitely get a kick out of seeing him swan about in a dress for a while.

"Pay up." She said to the older man next to her. He reluctantly forked over a handful of coins to her as Asahi declared his victory. "Dammit all, I thought that braying donkey would never pull it off."

"Ya just don't get it, Lal..." Laila started in a lecturing fashion. "See, he might be full of it, but he damn well wants it more. That's how I sees it, anyhow. They say pride comes before the fall, but I reckon it takes you places long before that."

"Yeah yeah..." Lal replied, sounding less than convinced. "Speaking of pride, this Ascendancy ceremony is about as prideful as it gets. You think one bit of this is legit?"

"Nuh uh." Laila shook her head. "If the Libros are involved, it's gotta be bullshit. I bet it's one big stunt to make em feel better about their dumbass ideas." Laila started making punches and kicks in the air in a theatrical fashion. "We'll beat em all down, just like that. I'll kick their ascender right in the nuts too."

"It's a woman, Laila. You know she doesn't have balls."

"Yeah, I know! It's about the symbolicism, Lal." Laila was deadly serious about making sure they kicked all Librarium members in the nuts, even if they didn't have nuts to be kicked. She had never let go of the one time she did it to that Deacon back in Sangin. In fact, she had made a point of kicking multiple Librarium agents in the nuts over the course of her time in the Cloud Chasers. The day that Lal had taken her away from Sangin, the first thing she told anyone she spoke to was that she kicked a Deacon in the nuts. This was her thing.

"Oh snap!" Laila had noticed something that drew her attention away from busting up the Librarium. "Asahi's hangin' offa Lazulin!" Both she and Lal knew well what happened when you got too close to Lazulin, and Asahi was real close to him right now. "What's a bet Asahi keels over in a few secs?"

"Well there's no way I'm taking that bet. Only a fool would bet that Lazulin won't take the chance to mess with a man." While the bet was off the table, the two of them were poised to watch the unfolding scene, both fully expecting something terrible to come of Asahi. The only question was what exactly that terrible something would be.

Okay, so I believe my sheet is finished. Hopefully no glaring errors.

@Leslie Hall If I choose a canon magic style for my character, will I need to specify which techniques they can use from that style?

I was intending to get the OOC up today, but I have to ask if you could hold out for just a little longer. I really haven't been in a good state these last couple of days. I know what the reason is; my sleep schedule has been downright awful. I'm resetting it, so I stayed up all of last night and won't be sleeping until 7pm. That should put things back in order.

In the meantime I'm going to just suffer.

@Leslie Hall

No harm waiting another day or two. Hope you feel better.
