Aquila Skinscriven

Member of the Council, as Prime Decorator of the Flesh.

The local tattoo/body modification master of Crater Lake, late 60s at the time of transfer.

In the community her work is ritualistically spiritual/divine in nature, to chisel the flesh like others chisel stone & thereby be closer to Telur. To have marked on oneself their accomplishments, hardships, and other important life events. being an important skill in a variety of rituals and in celebrating heritage and ancestry. The Skinscriven family has kept this ancient tradition of tattooing, piercings, and scarification for generations. It is also her burden to be the one that places the Mark of the Exile on those who have shown, by great dishonor or severe wrongdoing, that they no longer have a place in the community.

She has darker skin, heavily greyed hair, and is extremely modded bodywise.

Personality-wise Aquila is very direct, a bit more on the strong-arm side of things, but still very lawful in alignment. She definitely doesn't believe in hand-holding, but has a streak of forgiving and guiding those that need it.

She remained an unmarried woman by choice and in her younger days she had a bit of a wild reputation around Crater Lake, before focusing entirely on her craft and adopting her first daughter, rewriting her reputation almost completely.

***Known Relatives :***

Lore Skinscriven - Eldest adopted daughter, due to her strictness in teaching the Skinscriven traditions (amongst other things including the process of her adoption), she really disliked Aquila. She disliked her mother so much in fact that as soon as she was considered grown, she immediately attempted to cut ties with her directly as an individual and Skin Scribing as a whole, though she kept in contact with her sister out of concern. Aquila was excessively snide when later down the line Lore's daughter Nari ended up reaching out to her in a bid to learn her family's trade. Lore was late 40s on transfer.

Thalia Skinscriven - Middle adopted daughter, she was considered quite squeamish and while Aquila's knowledge as a Skin Scribe was passed down to her, Thalia couldn't stomach the practical part of the work and ultimately was forced to abandon the trade all together, much to Aquila's disappointment. Aquila often tasked Thalia with babysitting Gül, seeing it as a way to make her useful again, though she'd often find her being pushed around by Gül or being taken advantage of. Aquila's view of Thalia was solidified as a failing of hers. She was 30ish on transfer.

Gül Skinscriven- Youngest adopted daughter, she was brash and downright cruel at times, her adoption at the age of 4 was surrounded by swiftly silenced concerns. She was taught the Skin Scribe traditions as a direct opposite to Thalia's personality in order to guarantee the successful passing on of the dying arts and eventually as she grew she acted as Aquila's personal guard, hired muscle, and general assistant back on Telur for day to day life, council work, and skinscribing. Vanished in transport at age 18.

Nari Skinscriven - Granddaughter and the Biological Daughter of Lore. She was a willing apprentice Skin Scribe under Aquila from around age 11 up until she went solo around age 16, wherein she left to lessen the constant pressure and strain between Aquila and her mother. She was taught side by side with Gül and during those times would occasionally assist her Aunt Thalia when she noticed her being pushed around. Slightly younger than Thalia in age around 25ish on transfer.

Roe Skinscriven - Biological Child of one of Aquila's deceased Cousins, a lesser known Skin Scribe, pleasant, hermit-like. Little is currently known about what they got up to after the transfer or even if they retained their human features.

As of Alpha Game 2, Aquila is understood to be deceased.
