• Name: Faylrie
Pronouced Faye - Lrie
[the L and R in her name are pronounced as one]
• Age: 22
• Description:
• Cursed?
It's complicated. No. She is not cursed. However as a babe, her father figure used a special form of body Ikonomancy to give her the appearance of storm touched. While this body Ikonomancy is not the same as face changing, it is along similar lines. There are two main differences to this Ikonomancy. First the appearance change does not hold in reflections or when being viewed through another medium such as a pane of glass. Second, the change is permanent regardless of will power.
When looking directly at Faylrie, centipede like bulges can be seen crawling beneath her skin.
• What ring does your character come from?
Second technically, but she’s lived her whole life in the fourth.
• Biography:
Born unto an unknown female, in the nobility, who had a relationship with someone in the third ring, any chance of happiness for Faylrie was doomed from the start. Immediately after her birth, it was commanded by the family that Faylrie be given to the storm for she was not worthy of their name and title.
The task was given to the family’s butler, a man by the name Jhaydarr Finch. But upon looking at the babe, Jhaydarr found himself in the middle of an impossible task.
Jhaydarr was unable to follow through. Since cursing the child at birth would surely lead to abandonment and death, he instead decided on another path. Calling in a favor, he used Ikonomacy to change both his own and the Faylrie’s appearance to look as if the plan had gone array and that they were both storm touched.
Dismissed by the family shortly after, he took it upon himself to raise the child in the fourth ring. He found a curse woman who he paid to act as the Faylrie’s milkmaid (who ran away shortly after Faylrie no longer needed to feed) and was with her ever since.
Having the appearance of a curse, not to mention one that others find grotesque, Faylrie’s life has never been an easy one. Nights were always cold and crowded. Food was scarce and she always had to be on the lookout for thieves among the other cursed.
Her one solace were her training sessions with Jhaydarr, and a peculiar friend she made at age ten. One day when she found herself all alone, running from the Wardana who caught her stealing, her friend came upon her. A strange talking raven. A raven by the name of Faine.
“This way! This way!” He guided her, in a voice that seemingly only she could hear. “Over here! Over here!”
With Faine’s help, she was able to evade the Wardana and find her way safely back to Jhaydarr.
Faine has been with her ever since. Though oddly, he’s not always a raven. Sometimes he’s a mouse. Sometimes fly. Other times a cat. Faine comes and goes as he pleases, but he always returns, usually in some new form.
Over the years Faylrie has found Faine to be quite mischievous. And perhaps sometimes even an instigator.
• Active Role:
Faylrie has multiple motivations:
Revenge. Faylrie has a deep seeded hatred of what the world has done to her. She will stop at nothing to murder the mother that abandoned her. But Faylrie’s ability to carry out revenge is at the moment limited. So as such she must take things one step at time
The destruction of her false curse. This has been a sore spot for Faylrie for many years. A false curse that she is unable to see when looking back in a mirror. She loathes the undue treatment it has garnered from those around her.
A spot in The Revolution. The revolution’s goals aligns with her own, but given the chance she would give away The Revolution’s plans and high ranking members if the chance to enact her revenge arose.
Crossing off names on her list. While not actively blood thirsty, Faylrie keeps a mental list of those who have severely wronged her. She awaits the day where she can final crossing those names off one by one.
• Personality:
Faylrie doesn’t mind being crude and will often act as if she doesn’t give a shit. She has trust issues and thus has a difficult time getting close to others. Over the years she has been beaten, bullied, harassed, lied to, spat on, whipped, cornered and stabbed multiple times for laughs and even nearly strangled to death before getting rescued by Jhaydar. There is very much a whole lot of hatred and anger bubbling beneath the surface.
That said, there is far more to Faylrie than the anger, hatred, desire to enact revenge. Deep down, what Faylrie desires more than anything else is belonging. A home. A family. Anything! Anything that could justify the torture she endured. Anything to justify the point of living…. But this… this is not something she is willing to admit to. Not to herself, or to anyone else.
• Ikonomancy:
While not a student of Ikonomancy, Faylrie has become proficient in a few very particular transformative ikons that have been built into her walking stick.These ikons were taught to her by Jhaydarr during her training sessions, and the stick was given to her has a gift so that she could discreetly use the ikons she learned to transform her stick into a tool or weapon of her choosing.
• Weapon:
Faylrie carries her walking stick with her at all times. The top of the walking stick divides into a v shape. The top of the stick has two rotating pieces attached to each end of the ‘V’. These rotating parts have incomplete bits of ikons carved into the piece and the stick. The ikons are seamlessly hidden by a false surface that was glued atop the surface of the stick.
The rotating piece on each end of the ‘V’ has a different function. The rightmost rotating piece transforms the stick into different weapons depending on the ikon activated.
These weapons are:
A Kusarigama
A short sword
A two handed spear
A mace
The leftmost piece transforms the stick into various tools.
These tools are:
A grapple
A glass cutter
A slingshot
A spyglass
In addition to this. Faylrie keeps a crude dagger hidden at her side at all times.
