## **Description**

### **Appearance**

Alexi is a 20 year old Drowling with a lithe, acrobatic frame. They have dark bluish-grey skin dotted with lighter spots of purple and blue, and curling ram-like horns. They have mid-length, wild white hair that they leave down most of the time, and the traditional Tiefling tail and hooves. They wear a long, colourful trenchcoat with a checkered pattern, a dark hat with a red fether tucked into the brim, and have a tattoo of a peacock going up the side of their neck to just reach their face. They often wear a dark-lensed masquerade mask and gloves, one of which covers the Mark of Luck on the back of their hand. They often carry around a rapier and their violin.

### **Personality**

Alexi is a big believer in freedom, and opposing tyrannical rule wherever they see it showing up in the Republic. They believe in destiny, and in the unstoppable pull of a higher calling. To them, this likely means fame (or infamy), riches, and eventually power and adoration. They have many masks or personalities they wear in public, all in an effort to hide their true self from those who may betray their trust and harm them with it. They love drawing the attention to themselves to put on a good show, constantly seeking out the praise and affection of those around them.

## **Backstory**

Alexi grew up hanging around the Blackwater Sanctuary, learning the ways and culture of pirate life. They were taught how to sail, how to navigate, how to chart a course, what places were okay to steal from, and which ones weren't. They were raised by gritty, tough sailors and pirates who did their best to teach them how to take it on the chin and keep going.

At around 16, they would have gained control of their own ship, and a crew to go with it. They spent 3 or so years sailing around, trying to make a name for themselves out on the seas, before choosing to ground themselves in Solarius for a while. They got up to a lot of trouble and crime in the city, from petty theft, to grand larceny, to vandalism and theft and a number of other crimes. This started a rather back and forth rivalry between them and the captain of the city guard, Lucia Ardenorth

## **Relationships**

### **Captain Ardenorth**

The relationship between Alexi and Captain Lucia Ardenorth is very one-sided in its friendliness, with the two having had a very back and forward rivalry in the past due to Alexi's criminal ways. More recently their relationship seems to have shifted slightly as Lucia has seen Alexi working with the Astral Vanguard to something more mutually friendly, with Lucia even expressing a slight concern when Alexi has been gone for longer periods of time.

### **Cerberus**

Alexi and Cerberus because magically bonded when Alexi accidentally attuned with a small statue they found in an old Temple of Dahlia. Cerberus follows Alexi around like and excitable young puppy, and Alexi is currently having to undergo the task of training the young Phoenix Hound.

Charlie

Charlie is an Amethyst Dragon Wyrmling that was summoned to Alexi via the Chaos Arcanum in Session 16, during a time of dire need for them. Since that summoning they've been dedicated to protecting Alexi no matter the cost, functioning as their draconic bodyguard.

### Creature

Alexi and Creature seem to be growing to be very close friends, with a notable increase in their interactions and friendliness since Session 11.

### **Reais**

Reais and Alexi started out with a rather amusing friendship, with Alexi often turning to Reais when they seem to offend the other party members. The advice Reais will often give them is to know when to 'shut the fuck up', as they put it. As time progressed and the two continued to fight beside each other, their bond grew into something more romantic. This culminated in Session 18 when the two had a heart-to-heart, and decided to become romantically involved. This lead to the forming of the relationship currently called Blooming Weeds.

## **Trivia**

* Alexi's familiar, Cerberus, came from a religious statue stolen from an ancient temple of Dahlia, Goddess of Magic. It's likely this will lead to disastrous consequences in the future if they cannot find a way to repair it.
* They are the only one out of the Elderfey champions with an actual criminal record on file
* They're also currently the only champion who can play an instrument, speak Thieves Cant, or sail a ship.
* They seem to be the only Elderfey champion with no surviving parents, which sucks for them.
