Jade Rollin

* Pronoun: she
* Voice traits: 
** 'ih' sound more like an 'ee' but stays short. 
** 'oo' sound shorter, lips extend further forward. 
** long 'ah' sound, flattens, shortens. 
** 'o' sound shortens and flattens
** 'h' sounds disappear at the start of words
** 'r' sounds uvular
** 'l' sounds go from dark to light 
* Mannerisms that will help other DMs portray the character consistently: her armor clinks when she walks, she's happily married with adult children, and she's very lawful. She errs on the side of being too polite to people she doesn't know well. She'd rather enforce a law that causes misery than not. If you don't like the law, change it. 
* Influences: The clothing outfits from Monty Python and the genuine goodness of Erza Scarlet from Fairy Tail. 
=== Appearance: ===
* D&D race: tiefling. Suggested noncopyright alternative: demonkin
* Age: 52, turned 53 midseason
* Height: 5 feet 8 inches
* Weight: 260 lbs wearing chainmail armor
* Hair color: black
* Skin color: red
* Eye color: solid black with no sclera

=== Personality: ===
* Traits: I'm always polite and respectful. More personality traits: Jade is happily married and wouldn't flirt with other people. She might 'turn a blind eye' to victimless crimes because 23 years on the city guard gives you some survival skills, but would stand up for victims of crimes and prevent victim-causing crimes. Example: white collar crime is sort of beyond her understanding and she's not that upset if poor people steal a trinket from rich people, but would feel like she has to tell them not to do that in front of her because she is used to having been an obligated reporter. Like, she has to arrest you if she sees it, but she'll sigh out of exasperation as she does so, and will help you get just a small days-long prison sentence with a judge she's friends with. Hide better next time, dummy, and honestly, don't break the law in the first place. She was a city guard, not a personal guard, so she's only doing this because it's the law, and all laws should be either enforced or changed. If you don't like this law then vote to change it, she'll tell you in a bored tone. A monster attacking people in a dark alley, now, that she would react to with feeling.
* Ideal: My city, nation, or people are all that matter. I want to foster peace and safety.
* Bond: I fight for those who cannot fight for themselves.
* Flaw: I obey the law, even if the law causes misery. Jade also prefers to only eat Alice's cooking.
* Family members:
**Alice Gompers (wife)
**Adele Gompers (daughter)
**Sasha Gompers (son)
* Friends / People they know:
**Judge Kelly Virtanen: a judge she's friends with because they give short, reasonable prison sentences that are supplemented by lessons focused on improving the person. It's easier on the spirit to arrest people knowing they won't have like, a whole month in prison for it. Serve your time, learn your lesson, and get out is how both the judge and Jade feel. Stop breaking the law.
**Cyrus Miller: was her partner when she worked as a Niqamui town guard. They were close; they had each others' back. 
*Occupation: joined the Firebreathing Kittens guild after retiring from the Niqamui city guard. She's a pensioner.
*Social class (poor, working class, wealthy): Retired working class. The Niqamui City Guard has a 30% + 70% = 100% program for retirement. Because there are different lifespans for different D&D races, the retirement program is that guards work 30% of their lifespan and then retire. Once retired, they receive retirement funds for 70%. Example: Human estimated lifespan is 76 years. 30% of 76 years is 23 years. When a human has worked as a guard for 23 years, upon completion of that 23rd year, the guard can retire and starts earning benefits for 53 years. If they die during those 53 years, then the person they've appointed as their inheritor receives their benefits for the full duration of the 53 years. The benefits are adjusted annually to scale with inflation. In 49,594, the annual wage for a city guard was 500 gold, which was relative to the poverty line being 300 gold annual income. Annual salary scales to match inflation.
* Where do they live? Niqamui, in a house shared with her wife. Her two children just moved out recently (they are adults). The house has a lot of flower beds in the front yard because Jade's wife Alice likes flowers. Jade sees this as pointless but it makes Alice happy, so, there are flowerbeds. The house is pretty far away from downtown, in the suburbs of Niqamui. Alice mostly sells jewelry wholesale to other jewelry shops in distant cities, so she doesn't have to be downtown to be close to a shop of her own. Jade was a town guard with the Niqamui town guard, so she rode the train in to work every day, back before she retired. Their home has three bedrooms, a kitchen, two bathrooms, and two large rooms. One of the large rooms is Alice's workshop. Two of the bedrooms are for Adele and Sasha, although they don't live there they do come home on school vacations. The house often smells like the food Alice cooks. 
* Background / Personal history:
**Age birth to 24: born in a foreign land (Albien), at age 24 she departed on a ship for Guaso. Arrived in Jishoap as an immigrant, moved to Niqamui within a few months.
**Worked odd jobs for a few years, then joined the Niqamui city guard when she was 26.
**Met Alice when she was 25 (They both went to a bakery every day right at opening for the good fresh baked goods and stood in line near one another and chatted enough to become friends.) and married her when she was 27. They had been married for 25 years by the time Jade joined the Firebreathing Kittens.
**City Guard from ages 26 to 50, (24 years instead of 23 because she took parental leave of six months off after Alice gave birth to each child).
**Children: Adele (22) and Sasha (19).
**Why Jade joined the Firebreathing Kittens guild: she had been retired from her career job for two years and was ready to take on a new hobby again. She missed going on adventures. And Alice seems relieved when she goes out during the day.
== List of adventures: ==
*Boaty McKittenface: Jade lost a sword but gained some new friends. Being retired was boring. This pensioner missed going on adventures! With Stella keeping an eye out and Willy navigating the way, it was smooth sailing. 
*Petrification In Red: Sinclair taught her how to get free drinks, Cloudio asked her to pick a dagger, and in the future she will think twice about touching things in museums.
*Raptor The Flag: Simmond, Willy, and Jade started mentoring orphans after this adventure. Jade taught them the laws and statutes of Niqamui and how to save for retirement.
*Dreams Unlimited, Ltd. Baking cookies for good, not evil. Obviously. 
*The DuBois Collection: Cecil and Skirmish presented the notion to patrons of magical dada-ism that art should be available for the public to view, should speak to them, and deserves to be preserved. Art is a journey, they told the DuBois brothers. Stew on it.
*Babysitting The Stars: Willy and Wing and Jade got to meet and babysit Stella's baby sister Ruby.
*Haunted House Hunting: Balpetor, Willy, and Jade powered down a security system from the previous occupants so the new owners could move in.
*Two Wolves, One Destiny: Sit. Lay down. Stay. Play dead. Good boy.
*Pop Fiction: Cordelia, Gatsby, and Jade got inoculated against the effects of Ekenblim dust.
*Doc's Book Delivery Service: this was an evil alternate reality version of Jade where she had never met her wife, Alice.
*Sitters And Souls: Was Jade an excellent sitter or a devil on Stella's shoulder? Wing got their soul back, so it all worked out in the end.
*Mole Money, Mole Problems: Simmond, Wing, and Jade went on a mine cart ride and discussed the finer points of corporate intellectual property law.
*Powderful Plots: Jade doesn't know what to do when there are no laws to guide her. 
*Sacré Bleu, Merder Bots!: Kids these days don't appreciate good music. 
*Heartfelt Colors: Listen to what your heart wants, Jade advises other people and definitely not herself. For those of us who are inherently evil, don't listen to your heart. Ignore your heart and follow the law. 
*Children of the Camp: If everyone gave up then all there'd be is pirates.
*Objective Duality: Jade got to visit her daughter Adele! What a lovely tranquil day trip.
*Party Animals: Petting a mountain lion would probably be safe for a person wearing plate armor, just saying. 
*I Pity Drakul!: They investigated why the laws were being enforced differently recently. 
*Sword And Granny: Jade doesn't remember this past life, but it left a permanent twist on her soul. Eyes black with no sclera, horns on her head, they're the price a person sometime has gotta pay for buying a bagel.
*Willy's Birthday Bonanza: Seeing Willy learn that family members he'd never met had walked the same path in life that he had got Jade to thinking about free will. Were the choices she was making her own, or was she being led to make them by some unseen force outside her understanding? Jade thought about her parents and other demonkin, who evilly reveled in the suffering of others. Had she enjoyed arresting criminals too much? Alice's voice cut through her thoughts. Alice. And the law. As long as Jade had Alice to love and the law to follow in order to know what is right and wrong, she felt confident that whether it was ultimately her choice or not, this is the path she wanted to walk.
*The Wayback Whistle: Instruments are meant to be played, so don't be afraid to tute that flute. Even if it takes you to a zone of TMI, maybe you'll also find a diamond that can be your new best friend.
*Kaern: The Worldbreaker: Cheering on your friend while they work out some sibling issues can be a good way to pass a day, and hey, there were some cats to pet. So they almost destroyed reality, that's all right, there aren't any laws against that. 
*What Do You Want: Jade is grateful that she got to spend fifteen more years with her wife, Alice. Joining Firebreathing Kittens was the best idea ever!
