If you won a ticket to any place in the world to spend a week, all expenses paid, where would you go?

“I’d likely throw a knife at a map of Hydaelyn and go where it stuck.”

The Warriors of Darkness

J’rhoomale, Lamimi, Arbert, Blanhaerz, Naillebert

“We were just adventurers trying to make our way. An odd job here, a favor there–we never aspired to be Warriors of Light. But word of our deeds spread, and soon people were calling us heroes. They placed their hopes and dreams on our shoulders and bid us fight for all that was good and right.

“We fought and we fought and we fought…until there was no one left to fight. We won…and now our world is being erased from existence. We did everything right, everything that was asked of us, and still–still, it came to this! You of all people should understand! We cannot–we will not falter. We brought our world to the brink of destruction, and now we must save it.”

“We were blind to the truth once. So I tell you this, as one fool to another. Light, Dark, it doesn’t matter. What matters is how you choose to use them. We made our choice, and you see what came of it. So please…forge a different path. Seize a better fate.”

In honor of Shadowbringers, let’s bring back again the original Warriors of Darkness, and Arbert’s warnings–which it seems we shall have to heed after all.

FFAF: any particular reason your character wears a mask? Is it just a fashion statement or is there a deep-rooted purpose for it?

"You can't read the twist of my lips. You can't see if the crinkle of my eyes means I'm smiling, frowning, or scowling. You cannot judge my appearance and decide that I am superficially beautiful and therefore something you can hurt and cast away without a care. By hiding my lips, I am forcing you to stare into my -soul-, to see the grit, the determination and my sheer force of will before you decide to try and hurt me. Good luck with that now, by the way."

[nalelinelhah]

FFAF: what is the significance of the "x" shaped scar on your character's brow?

The x-shaped scar over Naleli's left brow was inflicted the very first time she was mistaken for her twin, while Aeryn was still alive.

Back then, she was very reluctant to fight, unless it was a dire necessity. The mark that travels down across her eye and the mark that intersects it were two separate blows by two different people in that particular fight, each one because she dodged fast enough for them to be glancing, but not enough to avoid being scarred.

That was an intense fight, with the player of the antagonists and I both groaning at many of the rolls.

My day today lmao, ty @scoundrel-xiv!!

[nalelinelhah]

They had chased her to Hermit's Hovel and she stood at the end of the broken dock that dropped off into the abyss. She turned, gun drawn, staring at the men who had followed her, no expression in her eyes. 

They thought they were chasing Aeryn, the Scorpion. They had instead been hunting Naleli...and they had no idea what they were getting into. A third man waited until she began to stalk towards the other two, then dropped down from the cliff and landed on the plank behind her. She turned and pulled the trigger, the blow landing lucky and sending the man staggering backwards...off the dock. One down.

The other two said nothing. If they charged her, they risked a fall as well. It wasn’t a given, but it was a risk neither were willing to take. Naleli stepped forward, and they smirked, stepping back. She took another step forward and so they lured her back from the edge and while one distracted her by drawing his gun, the other charged and tackled her. Her gun went off as she was tackled, her aim grazing the first man’s shoulder as she fell into shallow water that still had her head submerged, fingers around her neck. 

“Oy! Cap’n says she needs t’s come alive.” The Elezen said, clutching his bleeding shoulder, narrowing his eyes as he watched Naleli thrash in the water. “I say kill th’bitch an’ do us all a favor. She’s been a thorn e’er since she wen’ all straight an’ law abidin’.” They wanted a Scorpion...and they got one as Naleli’s tail flicked out of the water. A glint of steel and the Roegadyn suddenly loosened his grip on her neck, his other hand slamming against her face. She rolled, hindered by the weight of water, but managed to twist and fight enough that she broke free and sprung to her feet. Her gun was useless, wet and unable to fire. To the ground it was thrown and Naleli crouched, her hand unsheathing her other dagger, her body swaying with the dizziness the man’s blow had imparted upon her. 

“Grab’er tail!” The elezen yelled as he went to fire his gun. The bullet hit Naleli in the side and she staggered, the Roe seizing the chance to swipe out with his good arm and seize her tail. Little did she know this had once happened to her sister, nor could she actually -think-, for at that moment he yanked and she screamed as she felt her tail break. 

Her arm swung out and her blade pierced his throat, blood spraying over her. The Elezen looked at her. “Yer wounded, wench. I can kill ya right now. Come like a nice lil ki’ten.” Her eyes narrowed, she was unsteady on her feet, and she shook her head. “Over m’dead body.” She growled. The man laughed and raised his gun again. “Tha’ can cert’anly be arranged, wench.” He chuckled. Naleli ducked the second his finger twitched and she sprung forward, gripping his legs and tackling him to the ground, her hand raising, swinging down, over and over, steel sinking into skin over and over again. Finally, she rose, her chest heaving. “Good luck killin’ me.” She sneered. 

“I’ve got too much t’live for now.”
