◂ | Core Concept | ▸

.Concept |▹ Narla is a thuggish character, a thin veil of civility hiding a shady black market peddler and criminal desperately trying to make ends meet. Someday, she hopes, she'll find her own little happy place.

.Faith |▹ Blurring the line between excusing personal fault and trying to be good, Narla had self-styles as a follower of Sinnavei first, and Lady Ixchel second. Though due to falling out with her Warden, her faith wavers now. Narla deems herself as currently faithless.​

══════════════ ⋅❈⋅ ══════════════​

◂ | Appearance Information | ▸

.Scars |▹ Narla is missing her left horn thanks to a battle of the past, she covers the broken end of it with her hair. An Asha’s clawmark leaves an ugly scar on her left cheek, and Nalontech replaces her lower left arm.

.Visual Description |▹ Sporting teal skin and black hair, Narla usually wears with functionality over fanciness in mind, and the occasional odd get-up by request of friends and family. Standing at 5'8 and with a rather average, somewhat lanky build, she possesses a rather average figure. Skeleton tattoos cover her lower arm and her back.​

♦ Narla is learning to use her people’s technology, being taught by the friend and role model she finds in Marinoor Talveer.​

୨✣୧ .Exist Magic | ▹ A lingering curse

⛧ Narla is a mediocre mage at best, knowing only one spell and using a small collection of sigils and minor rituals for her convenience. Formerly blessed with power and mutated to near-death as a cult-leader, she now fails to mentally bridge the gap between having to start over with no shortcuts, and remembering how she wielded her former power on mere whims alone.​

.Hobbies |▹ Medical

♦ Narla is a crude medic and novice alchemist, knowing an unconventional trick or two from her past as a shady back-alley doctor.​

══════════════ ⋅❈⋅ ══════════════​

◂ | Plot Hooks | ▸

.1 Typical Criminal | Having grown up around a life of crime, Narla is a pragmatic and often selfish thinker, yet an imperfect criminal due to her deep sense of compassion.

♦ Narla often favours other underdogs, criminals and those down on their luck. She furthermore favours other Daens and Maraya.
♦ Narla often dislikes knights, nobility, the prideful and the haughty. She furthermore has a rather lowly opinion of Archons and dragon worshippers, yet holds no animosity towards Draconism as a faith.
♦ Narla will sometimes pick-pocket or slight strangers in other subtle ways out of grievance or opportunity, which may lead to conflict later down the line.
♦ With connections in the criminal world, Narla is both - employed and in debt to rather shady factions. She is as much of a criminal contact-point as a dealer of her own.​

.2 Struggling Estellian | Formerly faithless, Narla is struggling to conform to the tenets and ideals of her faith properly, instead of simply doing what makes most sense and will help her survive.

♦ Not being a zealot, and having trouble holding faith in her heart proper, Narla doesn’t discriminate against others for what they believe in - until they make it her problem, or act strange about it.
♦ Narla doesn’t believe in justice being served in the world, and sees no point in doing her part to improve on this. She has had her fair share of disagreements with the Justice Arken before.
♦ Narla’s sense of loyalty to groups is sometimes flaky. She is however fiercely loyal and attached to a handful of individuals. She does not get along with the Loyalty Arken due to this.
♦ Narla’s is very compassionate for underdogs, pariah and others she sees being down on their luck or getting hurt, sometimes choosing to even side with or help her enemy “because she just felt bad for them,” or “it seemed like the right thing to do.” She gets along well with the Compassion Arken, considering herself one of her followers.
♦ Narla associates with Sinnavei’s ideals the most, claiming herself a worshipper of them, and having received a godly blessing of her in the past when she was still a zealot and cultist. ​

.3 Only Human | Narla is a character with a strong focus on interpersonal relationships. With a personality and history carefully written and assembled, she can be impressed, changed, swayed and outplayed by others - so long as they know how to get to her, and understand how she ticks.

♦ Headstrong and often making decisions in-the-moment, Narla judges others based on their status and/or first impression.
♦ Used to sleeping with one eye open, Narla sometimes grows unnecessarily weary or paranoid of things or people.
♦ Coming from a cruel environment, Narla sometimes makes light of rather dark and macabre topics, or acts overly cruel herself without second thought.
♦ Aware of how finite life can be, Narla could be called a coward. Lest for a vendetta or a friend, Narla does not pick fights with, or talks back towards people she considers capable of being a threat to herself.
♦ Within the late fall of 311AC, Narla suddenly changed. Her domestic life righted itself, her faith and ideals aligned themselves better with the other Estellian zealots and she became loyal to the Menaya, a religious group operating out of Floralcourt.​

Spoiler: Narla's complicated life

♦ Aeda - Narla doesn't quite know what to think of Aeda. Despite them being a pacifist, they've had a rocky past, and that rocky past has left a scar.
♦ Aegipane - Their fellow "Scor sister," as the two used to call themselves - Aegipane reminds Narla of what she's lost in her departure from zeal. Sometimes it make her angrier than anything else.
♦ Argo - More than once, the Solvaan has vexed Narla with his cluelessness and clumsiness. She looks down on him, in a way, yet also envies him for leaving a seemingly easy life, ignorant of the troubles and complications of human conflict.
♦ Bethan Anwyl - At one point, Narla's aimless jabs could have led to something special. But then life went on, and it lifted the complicated view she had of Bethan, returning her to the shelf of obnoxious knights who make her life a little harder.
♦ Blocky - From Narla's perspective, Blocky seems to always live in its own little world. Their tone and commitment sometimes makes the Maraya shirk away, afraid to break something in the wondrous little bubble the automaton seems to live in.
♦ Cass - The almost-freedom-fighter. Narla views Cass as young, something that still has a lot to prove and a harsh reality to face. It is routine and history that makes her pity them, it is also routine and history that makes her keep her distance, instead of trying to help make things better.
♦ Dathil - Dathil's optimistic demeanor estranges Narla sometimes. At other times, it makes her weary of how to act. Then on some days, she simply enjoy the boundless joy the little Yanar seems to have, as if there were only rights in the world.
♦ Immina - The younger Maraya is an enigma to Narla. Despite a past in the vaults and a world gone, they seem to have more of a proper family than Narla can manage herself, especially when it comes to her family by blood.
♦ Isa - Isa confuses Narla too, but moreso because she struggles to discern whether Isa actually cares about her, or is merely being sarcastic.
♦ Jhavartal Rhuvanya - Jhavartal doesn't have a slew of assumptions and opinions tacked to his name yet, Narla is still figuring out whether he's a friend or an obstacle.
♦ Leiara Sylphaloor - Narla sometimes forget about Leiara, they haven't talked in a while.
♦ Meresankh - Meresankh scares Narla, but not in a threatening way. Just in that way you fear an old lady because she can beat you bloody without warning.
♦ Mosheng Ren - Perhaps it was a curse that allowed their relationship to bloom, or perhaps it was truly meant to be. Mosheng holds a special place in Narla's heart, despite all the things they agree to disagree on, and sometimes have to find a compromise over. Polar opposites in the criminal world, how they work together seems ridiculous on paper. But somehow, they make it work, and for what it is worth, he makes her better.
♦ Qara Loraya - Narla looks up to Qara the way a young student would. Someday, she will meet her in person, and Narla really looks forward to it.
♦ Rayne Lupescu - Rayne creeps Narla out, she doesn't quite know whether the murderous looks are genuine or loving.
♦ Sabola - For all the wanton violence and extremism Sabola gets into, Narla holds a unique appreciation for him. When she grows tired of her own zealous circle, she visit Sabola, a zeal she knows she can never get dragged into, and somebody who wears his heart on his sleeve.
♦ Marinoor Talveer - In secret, a part of Narla envies Marinoor. She sees a Marayan ideal in them, a shining rolemodel and example of her culture that she never had the chance to become. And no amount of compensating will make up for it, if she can only do it while wearing the blue-faced mask.
♦ Talven Nathamlannë - Talven and Narla go way back - for better, and for worse. There are things the Maraya feels genuinely bad about, yet she still has it in her to get angry about Talven's little jokes and jabs sometimes. She could, however, never justify crippling him in any way, shape or form.
♦ Trissena Aduril - Trissena often clashes with Narla, both in words and ideals. Where the Loyalborn preaches about morals, peace and doing right, Narla only gets grated and confused about how someone like her can keep saying such things with a straight face.
♦ Ullailmon Netollihua - Ullailmon was Narla's center of the world upon arriving in Regalia. That's since changed, but the familial bond they shared has stayed strong through the test of time, as Narla lavishes in having a parent they've never had before, and Ullailmon a troubled black sheep of a daughter.
♦ Wisteria Netollihua - Narla's attachment to her sister is artificial. She just doesn't know it yet.

Spoiler: Asmita's simple days

♦ Ana Cervantez - With history set in stone now, Asmita can only look back and worry about Ana while kicking her when she's down.
♦ Brighid - To them, Brighid is another lot to bet on.
♦ Fernando - Fernando is the one person who makes Asmita anxious not by their skills, but by their impulsiveness.
♦ Liviu Hecker - Liviu is too poetic, in Asmita's opinion. He gets too deep into the semantics for them.
♦ Matahari - The Allar has earned themselves Asmita's favor, being treated like a younger sibling the Fence never quite had like them.
♦ Marcia - Having only just met, Asmita is still deciding how they feel about Marcia.
♦ The Ringmaster - The Ringmaster is capricious, yet predictable in that way. The merchant sees a fine ally in them.
♦ Rolann - She didn't know.
♦ Violeana Aetris - Asmita did not forget about the tray. Yet.
♦ Asmita's employer - What started out as a quest for freedom has since turned into a comforting addition.

@Azas Requesting Re-review. I have decided to be a menace to the afflicted.

꘏ Added Curing Knowledge, learned ICly from another character.
꘏ Changed, or more like re-phrased Core concept a bit to avoid playing a loli at all costs and to better fit how I play the character better.
꘏ In case you didn't see the previous tag, I've left the small prior edit in this bold blue as well, being:

꘏ Bumping Fist Combat from 10 up to 15.
꘏ Removing 1 point of Warlash Combat, as this combat category is mostly for aesthetic reasons.
꘏ Changing Physical stat accordingly.​

I have now spent all of my remaining points for the time being, and this likely won't be subject to change anytime soon. Though what may happen is an affliction-arc, but that's still up in the air for now.

ADDENDUM: Read the Maraya update, and I literally have to change nothing, in fact this helps me explain this character even better. Only added a Meraic sub-culture fitting to their background.

ADDENDUM 2: I now have 3 free points again.

 

@Azas Heeeeere comes the Cahal arc.

꘏ Added Scor abilities
꘏ Added Cahal form description; the alias "Nightfish" has suddenly gained a whole new meaning.
꘏ ADDENDUM: I forgot to add a funny religion, it is now added.

꘏ I was also judged ICly for Narla's short name which made me hella self-concious (lmao) so I gave her a longer flowy name and made Narla a nickname of sorts.
​

Changes made in this bold blue.

Spoiler: Honorable mid-infection-fight mentions

POV you let your friends Puppet Control your character but have a fighting career:

 

Character has been cured or is rather in the midst of getting cured rn lmao.
Expecting to revert later, as well as a change in some mutations.

ADDENDUM, after a fight broke out on the crookback bridge YEAH THEY'RE CURED BUT COMING BACK LATER LMAOOO.

 

Cahal'd at the magic portal again.

 

It has been less than a day, but cured again. sadge.

 

@Volaie Infected at the magic portalt,,, AGAIN...

But also a good time for some prof and appearance updates!
꘏ With Honed Skill 3 going bye-bye soon, I removed composition art. Nar only had comp and Wood art for that skill specifically, but wooden art grew on me. writing songs did not.
꘏ Followed dreams and upped Fist combat to 20.
꘏ Added 3 points to Roguery to keep the prog talents.

꘏ Purchased Home Upgrade 1, slapped it on the prioris temple bc Nar lives there.​

꘏ Updated both Faith and Core concept to fit the current character better. WOOOO CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT.
꘏ Updated visual information. Added scars along with a new set of mutations (I found a purger and everything, I did it the proper way ahaha. :w;)
꘏ Changed to Rogue 3 in prog talents. This should make to no difference as I haven't prtake in any progressions yet.

All changes are made in this bold blue, happy belated new year's by the way!

 

Yeahhh sorry about that, it was gonna be another whole arc of being mundane but then they just got hung instead, which, I didn't expect until it happened yk how it is.

 

@Volaie reworded something in Nar's cahal form for an aesthetic.

 

@Volaie Visuals update!
꘏ Updated the first Apearance bulletpoint to be up-to-date with Nar's current mutations. We not have cool tattoos. (which I really hope are even possible, I'm too young to die-- I mean apply for enhanced mutations. , _,)
꘏ Changed her cahal form a littol bit, the main change will be the transition from a skull helmet to a head for a skull.

I'm trying to go for a vampire arc at some point, but otherwise I think this'll be it for quite a while, changes made in this neat blue.

 

@Volaie Wah, update!

 

@Volaie Updated points a little, also added aesthetics (may need some more messing with later.)

꘏ Swapped from the Axe pack to Flexible, because I'm too forgetful to roll for axe everytime. Also corrected "short" to "short blades".
꘏ Removed State saboteur, replaced it with Vandalism instead. I found out that saboteur only really makes sense if you invested in CHA proper, also vandalism makes more sense.

Das all, hope you have a good one!

 

Updated to include Greater Cahalism abilities, Nar was picked as Drulailmon's right hand.

꘏ Seeing how I've settled on playing this character as a Cahal rogue instead of a Rogue cahal, I've swapped out Empire Linguistics for water magic. Goodbye, mundane status when cured.

꘏ Also listing the changes to wording in the backstory + picking a cahalic familiar from above, so I can delete that additional message bc it's driving me crazy.

All changes are marked in this blissful blue.

 

@Messtro I only notice now I may have tagged the wrong reviewer LMAO.

 

Looking for a new reviewer, seeing how both of my previous ones aren't staff anymore.

꘏ Added an ICly chosen name to the character information, switched out names accordingly.
꘏ Updated character concept.

꘏ Switched out the Burglary pack for Space magic. I am mobility ultimate now.

꘏ Rephrased some things in appearance information, religion and backstory to make it shorter.
꘏ I will be rephrasing the cahal form section tomorrow to also cut it down a little.

That is all, thank you in advance! ^-^

 

@Caelamus This doesn't need a re-review, but following IC events I have finalized this character's concept section. At last.

 

@Caelamus With both IC progression and OOC updates slowly whittling away at my Roguery, I refunded my Vandalism and Slight of Hand points into the following:

꘏ Added Thin Blades pack upon consultation to be evil.
꘏ Added Fire magic pack to be an immovable object.

Changes made in Blue.
ALSO LOOK I HAVE BONESINGING BACK I'M SO HAPPY AHJGDHASGJFGSFG.

 

@Caelamus Asking for re-review.

꘏ Rewrote Faith
꘏ Added Exist Pact kit
꘏ Replaced Fire magic with Hexlord Demonology​

 

@Caelamus no changes to the point spread, only adjusting to the spell point buy update, here are the following changes (the rest is the same as the old spread);
꘏ Picked up Sparkwalking & Arcane Mastery specials, one slot remains unfilled while I'm waiting for a ticket. If the ticket falls through, I'm picking up Sanctum Vessel.
꘏ Picked up Arcane Knockback
꘏ Invested 4th Commutable point into Cursemaster pack
꘏ I may be changing my visual information soon following an IC change. I don't think needs a re-review, this mostly serves as a fair warning.

 

@Caelamus Sunday over.
Added Flesh Element as a sixth magic special.
Removing Pick-pocketing in favor of testing out whether I like Light Shielding or not.

 

Oh I forgor to remove Nightfish from earlier debating actually, pretend like it doesn't exist shh.
Let me go clarify, as well as update visual information where needed.

Addendum: Done.

 

@Caelamus Everyday I wake up and need to update again LMAO.

꘏ Turned Healing Alchemy into.. healing alchemy, using the new artificer point buy and medical pack.
꘏ Took Healing Patent and Common Patent as specials, to retain being a mundane medic, but also to remain dependent if the character ever gets a biotic. I think that could be fun.
꘏ Nvm I'm taking Nalontech. Narla for Nalon.

꘏ ADDENDUM I GOT CONVINCED TO TRY OUT MAGIC THROW. REMOVED ARCANE KNOCKBACK FOR IT.

 

@Caelamus EVERYDAY I WAKE UP AND I NEED TO UPDATE MY APP THIS IS A CRY FOR HELP. I also finally fixed the application name.

꘏ Replacing the Common Patent Special with Lifegiver. I had a devilish idea for another good intent + gruesome method aesthetic.
꘏ Retained 7 STR, chose the following abilities: Duelist pack, Heavy pack, Hunter pack, Skirmisher pack, Unyielding pack, Pursuer pack, Tactician pack. So basically almost nothing changed lmao.
꘏ Retained 1 CON, chose the following ability: Block pack.

꘏ I decided getting maimed by a god would be funny and totally karma and the time has come for cyberpunk aesthet- I mean, just a biotic, so I made it happen. Expect updates to the Visual information at some point in the coming weeks. Do I need to put the app on re-review for that, or not?
