Hi! please, call me Cal ooc. I have been roleplaying on mmos for roughly 6ish years and for roughly 5+ years with D&D. I have experience with DM'ing and running events and I used to run a roleplay guild for ESO (elder scrolls online). my timezone is EST, but I tend to stay up fairly late, as I am a night owl.Things of note : I have many many animals I am in servitude to, so I am often forced to step away from my computer. So if I do not respond immediately, it's likely I am being yelled at by my cats... or dogs...

A bit prickly to those she doesn't know, Isla is often wary of strangers. To most, she can come across as rude, flippant and all around disinterested. But, to those she deems worthy of her affection and attention, she is warm, kind and caring. If scorned, she can be cruel and toxic. Often does her blade seek to quench its thirst for blood and often is she happy to oblige - those who have earned her dislike be warned. Isla can have quite an attitude when angered and her temper becomes quite short which results in her picking fights or seeking an argument.

"Push me, pull me
Break me, can't let go
My hands around your throat
Won't leave me alone
Now I got my guard up
Can't let go
Don't mean to break the skin
I'm just sensitive
Tattoos all over me
My fears don't behave logically
I'm scared of heights, strangers at night
And socially, I'm terrified
Anxious, so cautious
I hate my subconscious
I wish I could care less
But I care too much."

unique features
Most of her body is covered in freckles and scars. She does have several piercings as well.
special accessories
She is rarely seen with her nose ring, as well as her wedding ring. She is often wearing platform boots or heels to make her seem taller than she actually is.

    MCH          First and foremost, Isla is a gun-toting, trigger-happy mercenary. She specializes in long-distance assassinations.

    NIN          Just as well, should the fight be brought to close quarters, she is still just as deadly. She just prefers not be hit in her pretty face.

    Ninjutsu          There are many disciplines Isla has trained in, but her favorite would be ninjutsu- though, unfortunately, she struggles to harness her own aether... considering she doesn't have much.

    From a distance          One thing she prides herself in is the distance from which she can nail a target with her firearm. Her preferred method of attack is from the shadows, unseen.

 
  character history  • • •

Born before the occupation of Dalmasca, Isla was orphaned at a terribly young age when the Garleans invaded and spent most of her childhood with a band of peddlers as her foster family. The nomads traveled often and everywhere as merchants, creating constant opportunities for learning and seeing a large bit of Othard.
The young Hyur rarely got along with others, and often was she bullied for her small size. Because of this, she isolated herself from the other children and became quite jaded, finding comfort in her loneliness. This made it more difficult for her to make friends. Secretly though, she longed for companionship. Her adopted family never quite saw her as their own, but rather, another set of hands to help with the business.
As a young adult, Isla left her foster family in search of something more fulfilling and exciting - anything but selling various trinkets and baubles. Eventually, the young Hyur found herself employment at a local brothel within Bukyo. This lasted for longer than she would like to admit, before being promptly let go after punching a client and breaking his nose. Her left hook earned her favor with a local underground mercenary syndicate and she was promptly offered work..
She had, once again, settled with a group she could call her family- whether or not it was true. Through them, she was taught proper self-defense, along with how to wield a gun, and was often employed to help on monster hunts, expeditions, and even the occasional bounty. She found her happiness through this line of work, but left after learning of some corrupt business behind closed doors. Leaving once again, Isla took her skills, what few items she had, and made for Kugane as a mercenary-for-hire where an unfortunate turn of events led her under the employment of the Yakuza, ran by the very influential Lavender Lady. After dedicating her time and loyalty to the Family, the woman found herself at odds when the threat of war became more and more evident. Not wanting to put their child in harm's way, both her and her husband decided to leave for good.
To better hide her identity from those who claimed her to be an enemy, Isla underwent a change in appearance and name - though that has not stopped her from living a life of crime.

     Criminal     

Being involved with a syndicate, there are many, many crimes Isla has been involved with. Were you someone she scorned? Someone she pissed off? She certainly won't apologize. Don't be shy... she only bites a little.

     Brimming with Aether     

Those with aether sense may notice that Isla's aether levels are quite high. Those who know her knew that her aether used to be very low, but something change in the Highlander and now she is able to possess and wield her magic. She is, by no means, a mage, but her aether has helped to enhance her abilities on wielding both blade and firearm. A curious situation.

     An orphan     

There are many who endured the horrors of the Garlean invasion within Dalmasca. Many were orphaned, many lost their homes, and many were captured and enslaved. Because of this, Isla has developed a deep hatred for Garleans, but a soft spot for those from Dalmasca as well.

     Cassidy Ironclaw                 Husband


Cassidy and Isla met shortly after the Seeker's return to the Yakuza. It certainly wasn't love at first sight - at least, not for Isla - but the two developed a close friendship which would soon blossom into something more. The two were not without their challenges, but like most determined couples, they overcame the hurdles and continue to do so to this day while raising their child together.


     Kairi Arai                 Friend


Though they may not seem close, both Kairi and Isla have become close through unfortunate means - from being stranded in unfamiliar lands, to finding themselves cast out from those they once called family, Kairi is someone Isla now trusts unconditionally and one of the few she allows near her child.


     Seyu'a Yhiinsali                 Friend


One of the first people Eyja met when she joined the Family, Seyu'a has been a wonderful friend to her. From their undying loyalty to one another, to the antics they are constantly pulling, these two surely have a friendship like no other.


     Vianna Valentine                 Friend


There was a bit of a slow start to this friendship, but it quickly bloomed once the two begin to talk. This mysterious Viera holds secrets that not even Isla has been able to yet crack - not for a lack of trying. It is a trait that Isla finds most interesting about her, and why she chooses to keep her so close. Vianna is another confidant and one who Isla trusts completely, should she need help.


     Koharu                 Friend


Quiet, yet deadly, the unsuspecting lizard gained favor with Isla through inventions and creating useful additions for her weapons. Koharu's hard work and dedication to whatever it is she is working on is one of the main reasons Isla favors her.
Do beware: She bites.


     X'Linya Nohn                 Little Sister


What began as a simple bounty hunt soon became an unbreakable bond. Lin had set out to claim Isla’s head, drawn by a bounty posted in Kugane. But when Isla convinced her that she was not the enemy, everything changed. In that moment, Isla chose to take the young assassin under her wing. Since then, X’Linya has remained fiercely devoted to her. Yet, despite their deep connection, it is Isla who finds herself constantly keeping Lin out of trouble.
