Rai was an orphan on the streets, until one day a scout from a nearby Iestrium monastery placed a yellow stone in her hand to see if anything might happen, and sure enough, it did.  She then spent over a hundred years quietly studying and training up by some mountain peak.  Now she is traveling to Hybornia because a bunch of monks want to learn more about the fae and their connection with nature, wanting to find new and different ways to find closer connections to the revered Roku spirits they seek to exemplify.  Or something like that.

Personality

Super serious because that's what she's been taught but there's a sense of humor in there somewhere.  The mere idea of sarcasm is brand new to her. 


Likes: Tea. Logic. Numbers. Baby animals. 

Dislikes: Not having tea. Anything that hinders her freedom of movement.  Irrational people. Logical fallacies.  Poor arguments. 

Skills

Languages: Elven, Xianxoese, broken Caenish

Strengths: Calm, rational, strong-willed and has good self-control. 

Weaknesses: Rai has lived a sheltered life up in a monastery, and she isn't sure how to interact with people, especially foreigners and non-Yoseien. 

Physical Capabilities: Rai is very agile and skilled in martial arts.  She may not be able to hit you hard, but she is good at kicking, tripping, and escaping grapples.  She prefers to back off and use her lightning versus an armed opponent.  She is also very bendy and acrobatic, able to jump on things and flip around all over the place. 

Magic

  • Rai is an Iestrium Mage.  She wears her crystal embedded in a bracer on her right arm, something a bit like the ones shown below.  The crystal itself is about seven inches long, cylindrical in shape, and about an inch wide.  She wears another bracer on the other arm containing a metal rod so that the pair of them are the same weight.  The crystal and the metal give her blocks a bit more protection, and she can strike with them using a backfist motion.  This pair of bracers is the only armor she ever wears. 
  • Wind.  Rai can manipulate currents in the air around her.  She needs to be able to move about freely in order to do so. This can be used to impact help her jump higher or cushion a fall, or to limit air resistance on herself so that she can run fast.  
  • Lightning.  After taking two seconds to be calm and still and focused and moving her arms in a Tai-Chi sort of way, Rai can gather lightning in her fists.  The lightning increases in intensity the longer she holds it.  She can release it by touching someone, by attacking with her special Naginata called Asteketh, or by shooting it out (accuracy dwindles horribly beyond about twenty feet).

Asteketh

Asteketh is the Elven word for "tailwind."

This naginata has a bit of copper in its alloy so that it conducts lightning better. It looks something like this except the swirly bits look like copper.
