**Ilios the Solarat** is a mercenary and the twin sister of Fengari the Lunarat.

## Physical Description

Ilios is a fairly slender Solarat who stands at average Mobian height. She has a medium-length muzzle that tapers somewhat to a point, large, rounded ears, and three whiskers on either side of her snout. Her tail, which is far thicker and bushier than that of a normal Mobian rat (somewhat akin to a porcupine), seems to spark and shimmer with Solar energy.

As a Solarat, her fur is primarily pure white in color, with a peach muzzle and chest. Her hair is dark red in color, marked with fiery red highlights that shift in intensity and shade. Her body is covered in solar-themed markings, which are also fiery red in color. A round, fiery gem adorns her forehead, and her eyes are fiery orange.

Her attire consists of a flexible leather breastplate with a black tank top beneath it, a black vest, leather pauldrons, blue jeans, leather boots and an earring in her left ear.

## History

### Childhood

Ilios and her brother Fengari grew up in a particularly seedy town known as ???, born to unnamed parents. Life was tough for the small family, and, being the only Solarats and Lunarats in the town, they were side-eyed by much of the other townsfolk, and the young Ilios and Fengari were bullied frequently in school. The two were naturally scrappy, however, and protected each other well in school.

Fengari in particular was very watchful and protective of his sister, who was a year younger than him and was also born with a rare disease that required her to take an injection every day. Unsurprisingly, this medication was rather expensive, and it was rare for the family to have much in the way of extra spending money.

### Schoolyard Stomp

As Ilios and Fengari grew, their natural fighting prowess, as did their natural Elemental abilities, began to shine through; unfortunately this caused the bullies at school to become more aggressive. Eventually the minor scuffles escalated into one big brawl, between the two siblings, and three particularly notorious bullies. Using their abilities, Ilios and Fengari came out on top, but due to bias against their "unnatural species", they ended up being expelled, and the three bullies were suspended for a week.

### Moving On

Fed up with the poor treatment they had been receiving, the small family (with Ilios and Fengari now being 16 years old) moved away from ??? for good, taking all their belongings and what little money they had.

### A Necessary "Evil"

Money was still tight for the four; both parents had to work tirelessly to support themselves and their children, and also to afford Ilios' medication. The teenage Solarat had grown agitated with the family's predicament; she didn't want to be a dead weight to her parents, and told this to her brother, declaring that she and him would find a job to help support the family.

Her idea was for the pair of them to become mercenaries, fitting for how often the two brawled against the bullies while in school.

## Abilities

Unlike her brother, who prefers to attack up close with his naginata, Ilios is a ranged combatant, wielding a crossbow to great effect. She can channel Fire, Light or Solar energy into her bolts.

If she ever needs to get into melee range, or if her enemy gets too close to her, she carries a jian for this purpose. This too can have Fire, Light or Solar energy channeled into its blade.

### Resistances

Ilios is highly resistant to the Elements of Fire and Light.

### Weaknesses

Ilios is weak to the Elements of Darkness, Ice and Earth. If she misses a day or two of medication, she will become quite nauseous, dizzy and weak.

## Friends and Foes

### Friends

* **Fengari the Lunarat** - Ilios' brother and her near-constant companion.

### Allies

* **Fengari the Lunarat** - Ilios' brother and her near-constant companion.

## Personality

Compared to her brother, who is cold and distant, Ilios is playful and feisty, but has a rather short temper. It is not uncommon for her to toy with and even flirt with her targets, often causing them to drop their guard or drive them into a fury, decreasing their clarity of thought. Like Fengari, she likes a good challenge with her job.

## Quotes

*"No, I'm sick of sucking up all of our family's finances just to afford my damned medication! I want you to help me, Fengari; we're going to find a job to help support our parents and ourselves! And I know just the right kind of work..."*
