***Weight*** : 127 lbs

***Race*** : Sibeccai AKA Jackal-kin (Previously Human)

***Level*** : 8

***Class*** : Fighter-Rouge Multiclass; Rune Knight Archetype

***Current Appearance*** : A Short Red Jackal-folk visually somewhere reminiscent of a Maned Wolf, Golden Jackal, and/or a Dhole, but much fluffier than she has any right to be. Her head sports very long luxurious red fur that rises and dips around her almost like a mane. She doesn't appear to have any black or gold in her fur, just red, brown, and white. Her eyes are an almost identical rusty red to her fur with a gold crown around her pupil. Her hands and feet sport paw pads and great pearl claws, which she paints black. When the sun hits her lighter colored fur just right, you can see hints of her tattoos poking through. Realistically, if she didn't act like an absolute menace and feral beast at all times, she would surely be considered quite beautiful to look at by most sentient beings.

When being a conduit for her Rune Knight abilities, the Tattoos under her fur glow with varying intensity, making the beautiful artwork that adorns her body truly stand out. The most notable are two swirling phoenix tattoos that blossom and integrate into exploding roses on her shoulder blades, they smoulder and sear with a bright aura whenever invoked. She wears her Bronze chestpiece with pride in battle accompanied by a red shoulder cape, while also carrying around a relatively diverse armory, the most utilized being her shotel and hextar.

She recently Scarified a protective ward onto the center of her upper chest (16 roll) just between the collarbone that depicts strong and solid Telurian imagery and initials. It was rushed and done from an upside-down perspective, those who have seen it can definitely tell it's not her best work. She's also had a slight haircut or rather singeing done to her front half of her body after sleeping in Dragonblood Tree sap overnight, which hardened and stuck her to the ground.

***Past Appearance*** : She was an athletic young woman with a variety of tattoos, roughly styled the same, that covered her form from head to toe. Her features were fairly foreign for Crater Lake, clearly not originally from their small community. Her hair was long, a rusty red-brown. Often times it appeared messy, but never so far as to be unkempt. Her eyes matched her hair in color, but not in temperament. Usually a cold unfeeling gaze would accompany her, looking through, not at. Rarely, when spotted in the dark of night or alone on a shaded path, her eyes would shift realigning their focus, piercing deep with a searing intensity and predatory hunger.

Regularly while accompanying her mother, she would be seen wearing a bronze chestplate with a great deal of weaponry, fitting an image more consistent with hired muscle or guard than anything else. Casual clothing tended toward dresses and lighter more breathable wear. She was never one for shoes or gloves. Jewelry was worn openly in the form of piercings, rings, and personal trophies, of which were all relatively plentiful. She had a habit of stringing her money around her neck in full view, daring anyone to try and take it simply by having it on display.

***Background*** : Origins unknown, an occurrence far too uncommon for the inhabitants of Telur, a child semi-feral and relatively volatile was located living nearby the Crater Lake Community. This unwelcome guest found herself forcefully taken in by the Skinscrivens after she spent several days stalking, tormenting, and ultimately physically assaulting a lone child around her age by the name of Maya. Aquila Skinscriven took on the duty of mother and strict mentor to the child, ultimately gaining not only her trust, but immense respect and adoration. It was here under her tutelage the child learned of the ritualistic carving of the flesh called Skin Scribing, a dying art known only to a handful.

Between her mother's teachings the child would often sneak out on her own, causing mischief as she went. These excursions always included an attempt at "practicing" on less than willing participants (typically animal in nature.) The community quickly began to reference her existence as the 'Nuisance Daughter' of Councilwoman Aquila Skinscriven and a stain on the Skinscriven lineage itself. After many a stubborn argument, the child would be forbidden from leaving the Councilwoman's side or exist without an appointed chaperone. The most common person to be tasked with watching the child would be another of Aquila's daughters, Thalia Skinscriven, a woman barely twenty at the time and a major pushover. This, for obvious reasons, undermined the general will of Aquila and saw the child ditching her older sister to continue her antics quite regularly as council work increased.

Eventually after much tribulation, the child would have to take the Test of Telur. She would fail it three times in succession, become extremely infuriated and actively began stalking and harming people more brazenly in order to feel better. After barely passing her last attempt at the Test by using brute force and sheer luck, the Nuisance received her adult name, Gül pronounced like Ghoul. (It is of note that this name was chosen as one close to her defaulted denomination of 'Girl' out of concern that another name would be too difficult to reteach.) Now considered an adult, her talent as a Skin Scribe had seen exponential growth, rivaling (at least in her mind) several great works of past Scribes and truly mirroring the ability associated with the Skinscriven family name. Unexpectedly (for Gül and no one else) very few people would actually allow her to be the flesh carver at their ceremonies as her reputation as a psychotic asshole and a bully preceded her. This sudden realization changed something in Gül's mind, actively beginning a path in which she would genuinely attempt to be less awful.

Following this, Gül began acting as a personal guard and muscle for her mother being much more insistent that she can behave as instructed with hopes that that would help her figure out some key to dealing with people in a non-hostile or aloof capacity. Her mother definitively was not the most openly empathetic toward others and much of the nuance and intricate subtleties that laced her straight-forward communication with people, was utterly lost on Gül.

Years would pass, eventually showcasing the Collapse of Telur and leading to their community's world transfer event. Gül, anxious and ready to experience new things, was packed and ready to venture forth alongside her mother and adoptive family. As the transfer took place, something clearly went wrong as Gül did not appear with the rest of her fellow Telurians. She instead appeared somewhere *else*.

Familial (Not counting spouses etc. atm):

Aquila Skinscriven - Adoptive Mother, Greatly Respected. Taught Gül everything she knows about Skin Scribing. Used to act as her armed guard and muscle back on Telur and was extremely attentive to whatever she needed while on-duty. This guarding was entirely unnecessary, but extremely important in lessening Gül's negative impact on the community. Aquila would utilize different phrases and commands to get Gül to interact correctly, some of which were beaten into her when she was younger. A few commands were coded with malicious undertones that the average Telurian wouldn't pick up on and were used extremely rarely to permit Gül's violent behaviors onto people that got into Aquila's way or needed an extra push to respect her power and influence.

Lore Skinscriven - Eldest Sister, Really disliked Aquila; was late 40s on transfer. Is 60ish now, was turned into a Verrik in the shift.

Thalia Skinscriven - Older Sister, a Squeamish Pushover; was 30ish on transfer. Is 50ish now, still human.

Nari Skinscriven - Biological Daughter of Lore, practiced together for a time before she went solo; Slightly younger than Thalia. Was considered another sister by Gül as opposed to Gül's niece. Is mid-40s now, was turned into a Verrik like her mother. One of the last people carrying on the Skinscriven traditions, more than likely has apprentices of her own by now.

Roe Skinscriven - Biological Child of one of Aquila's deceased Cousins, a lesser known Skin Scribe, pleasant, hermit-like. Gül found them extremely boorish, no matter what mischief she'd attempt. Ultimately she lost interest in Roe as anything other than family, which is quite the feat to be neither feared nor targeted. Unknown if transformed, married, had kids, or took on any apprentices as Gül genuinely couldn't care less about what they do and how they interact with the world. Complete unwavering indifference. Probably would die from old age if they remained human via the transfer or didn't seek out a change.
