Wren wrinkled her nose up as she took a sip of lavender liqueur, regretting her choices of cocktail. "I don't recommend this." she grumbled to the girl nearby.

Ruby's been around a lot, and kept the family going, and once the current generation of the family pass on, I think she's going to give up her immortality.

Events of EoD really weighed on her (void and whatnot), and the fallout with Serenity/Jessica she really reflected on the past 260 or so years. Having her own kid go through all that and having to care for her when she got old, it was a bittersweet "I think it's time for me to go".

I could just send her off to the Mists, but I think she's earned her rest after all these years. Kensi will stay on in her role of shepherding the dead, and maybe spend a bit more time out in Tyria proper, but Ruby's really thinking of breaking her Pact with Grenth once and for all.

(I like that I was able to give her this hat and it still covered that side of her face. yay)

Also when I was posing for this I got a nice whisper :)

"How are you thinking of painting your wine glass?" Luz wondered aloud to the person beside her, tilting her head as she looked at her current blank 'canvas'. "Beginning to think I'm a little in over my head here since I'm not at all artistic."

Closed starter for @rubyelliot Where: Downtown

Kaj walked down the street, a leash in either hand as he walked the dogs. With Judas finally old enough to go for a walk, Kaj was eager to bring both of his boys along with him. Lazarus was in a saunter at his side, while the younger pup was pulling ahead of them; he figured it would take some time for him to learn how to walk properly, as it did with Laz. As he came to a crosswalk, Kaj's eyes set upon a familiar face. He thought he recognized a woman standing nearby. It took him a moment to remember where it was he'd seen her, but he soon came to the conclusion that it was Jade's sister. She'd shown him a picture of Ruby. After a few seconds of debating whether he should go greet her, he slowly approached, pulling the dogs both to his side. "Ruby," he said, grin wide. "I don't mean to interrupt, but I figured it would be rude of me not to come say hi. 'M Kaj. I'm sure you've heard of me."

Let's see... 3, 5, and 8 for any NECROS in your group! (@ratasum here on my main lol)

Ty for the ask @ratasum I love blathering about Ruby <3

Ruby and Cosima, my two human necros.

Of what descent are they? Does all of their family come from the same region or are they mixed? Does it influence them much?

Ruby’s father is from Ascalonian stock, but her mother, the person she grew up with is somewhere between Krytan and Maguuma Jungle hobo/witch-of-the-wilds. Ruby’s grandmother had been living in what is effectively a treehouse in Alcazia Tangle, and her daughter, Ruby’s mother, also grew up there. Ruby’s mother was a little more willing to deal with other humans, and every few years would travel across the jungle to Lion’s Arch. Spend some time there, and come back to the jungle.

By the time Ruby was old enough to travel by herself, or well, with her sister Kiz in tow, she had a small home much closer to Kryta and Lion’s Arch. When the Ascalonian Faes rocked up on the scene, Ruby and her sister joined their cause with their half-sisters.

Modern day Ruby has family all over Tyria and she’s been keeping track of them, and pulling strings for a very very long time now. She influences them more than they influence her.

——————

Cosima considers herself to be Krytan. If you go all the way back then there’s generations of Ascalonians, but as far as she’s concerned, her parents and herself are Krytan born and bred. Cosima was born into the thick of Krytan politics, with her parents being members of the Shining Blade, so she’s always kept Krytan politics in the back of her mind.

Which god do they revere/were they blessed by? Are they particularly religious? Does that impact their daily life?

Ruby’s a Grenth girl all the way. Her mother taught her necromancy and a bit of mesmer magic that really wasn’t seen as "god magic", she learned that more down the line on her adventures in Kryta and beyond. By the end of the GW1 timeline, she was full on waving her little green death flag, and later on made a massive deal with Grenth (who knows what it is? Not me that’s for sure). So she could go on living and protecting the Fae family for as long as she sees fit.

As it stands now, Ruby is pretty religious. Still very devout to Grenth, and even keeps some teachings of the other gods in mind. Ruby formed a strong bond with her half-sister, Ash, back in the Flameseeker Prophecies days, so she’s sort of close to Dwayna too. Life and Death come hand in hand, so its not surprising. Her homes do have little shrines to the gods, and the Dwayna and Grenth ones are just a little bit more taken care of.

—————— Cosima was said to be blessed by Grenth but she doesn’t take religion all that seriously. She understands why people would revere them, she believes they exist (wasn’t at all shocked to see Kormir or Balthazar) but doesn’t believe them to be anything to worship.

Have they ever had to deal with bandits, pirates or other criminals? Has any of their family and friends (that they know of) been involved?

Ruby’s dealt with everything over the years, but has had to be rather low key about it. From the days after the GW1 times, to a few decades before GW2 times, all she’s worried about was keeping the lineage going, but also had to keep her life interesting. She’s lived in Lion’s Arch a few times for a few years each before moving on elsewhere. Seeing the city grow into a pirate free-town she’s experienced a lot about pirate life, good and bad. Never fully partaking in it, she has blended in with crews from time to time where it was needed. Other than Pirate LA, she’s kept out of it unless it was related to keeping the Fae lineage going.

——————

Cosima grew up under the care of families within the Shining Blade. Talk of criminal activity in and around the city was as common as discussing the latest circus acts. While she didn’t get involved with any of this til later in her life, she grew up knowing all about the criminal ongoings in the city. She didn’t really get to bash in some bandit heads until she dealt with a particular centaur attack on Shaemoor Garrison.

ricardo brushes back some of his hair that ungracefully fell onto his forehead . he's still re-buttoning his crisp white shirt when he looks to ruby . " were you still yelling at me or is that done now ? " his heartbeat is very slowly but surely returning back to normal , a thin sheen of sweat on his forehead which he dabs away at . next is his trousers but his eyes instead zero in on ruby and the way she looks when she's QUIET for once . a lazy smirk colours his mouth . " you were yelling very differently just moments ago , i mean . if that's the kind you want to resume , let me know . but i only have 20 minutes before my next meeting . "
