[L'orlei]

"Only within compassion, can we find that the world's sorrows and wounds may be healed completely." Creed of the Opal Order Bio Race: Konti Age: 36 (Born Summer 13, 479 AV) Gender: Female Height: 5'2" Weight: 110lbs Personality L'orlei is a quiet, shy individual when it comes to most social situations. She doesn't know how to talk to people, and doesn't usually have the self confidence to introduce herself to new people. This is not to say she doesn't want to, she just doesn't know how, and all attempts usually come off as awkward. When it comes to her work, however, she is full of quiet confidence. Whether it's philtering her latest healing potion, stitching up a wound, or wandering the wilderness of Mura searching for herbs, L'orlei is at home when she's working. Physical Description L'orlei looks pretty much like any other Konti, having pale white skin, long bleach blonde hair, and a generally frail build. Her scales which adorn her arms, face, back, and legs have a light green tint to match her green eyes. L'orlei tends to dress in the silky white robes common to Mura's healers over a black bodysuit. L'orlei's forehead is adorned with a winged serpent sigil that marks her as a Healer of Rak'keli.

History L'orlei was born in Mura, the daughter of her mother Alissa and a human father that she never knew. It was a one night stand, one her mother only went into because she'd had a dream the previous night that it would lead to a child being born. As it turned out she was right, and not long after Alissa discovered she was pregnant. The baby L'orlei was marked at birth by the goddess Rak'keli, marking het a healer. Alissa was relieved. While she loved her goddess Avalis, many of the sisters who shared her mark seemed to loose their mind, and little L'orlei would be spared that. At least, that is what she thought. Unfortunately for L'orlei, her mothers visions were bad enough and her childhood was marred by the sounds of her mother awakening with screams in the night. Alissa had a pension for seeing only the worst visions of the past, and they often came to her unbidden. One day L'orlei's mother awoke after a night of violent nightmares. Entering the room she announced to her daughter that she had received the Call and she had to leave at once. L'orlei begged her mother not to go, but nothing she could say would stop the woman. Since then L'orlei has struggled to make a living for herself, selling medicine to tourists and practicing her healing in hopes of one day joining the Opal order.

She is a seer of names. Whenever L'orlei meets a person their name comes unbidden to her mind, almost like someone whispered it in her ear. This ability even works with some animals, assuming they have been given a name and know it is theirs. L'orlei cannot control this ability and in come cases it can be overwhelming, such as when in a large crowd. Skin to skin contact takes her ability further, causing the names and faces of every individual that person has ever met to flash in L'orlei's mind from the most recent all the way back. Again, she cannot control this and must either break contact or let the names run their course.

Also, I will run threads where I make herbal remedies and potions and stuff as I increase my skills, and add the specific items and prices to the list as the threads are graded. A note on the shop's location. It doesn't have one. Rather, L'orlei does any crafting necessary, and stores her goods, at home, but actually sells the stuff wherever she happens to plop her butt down and spread her blanket out. This is usually near the Harbor so she can catch people coming in and out of Mura, though really anywhere there are people will do for her. Eventually, as her skills increase and she gets more money, she may open up a shop and get a lab, but at this point in time she does not have one. Also, Gillar approved a 1gm/day sales bonus due to her not having any overhead costs, such as building maintenance and things like that. Approved Here
