BACKSTORY AND STORY HOOKS

disclaimer— Please note that the backstory is soon to be revised to align with the Crystal Rule. It will be quite close in nature, but some of the fantastic elements will be reduced and simplified to fit a low-power philosophy.

wanted, dead or alive— after the defeat of Ifrit by the warrior of light, she was found by an airship crew, taken to Abalathia's Spine, where they discovered in her a strange and uncanny talent for marksmanship.She is wanted for theft, piracy, and murder in the region of Ishgard after the tragic events of her ship and the crew of the Howler.Could she be innocent?

fire and shadow— her tempering and enslavement to the Primal Ifrit left lasting changes and created a strange and unexpected interaction with a sinister and ancient magic which had been long waiting in the skies of Abalathia's Spine.Those characters who have an acute sense of aether or aether-sight might detect both fire and void corruption about the black-tailed miqo'te, and she collects tomes related to the War of the Magi and other eldritch secrets.Did her tattoos just... move?

impulsive and reckless— Ifrit's influence has made her a natural greedy gambler and a thrill seeker with a burning penchant for risks and the rewards it promises, despite her better heart's ache for peace and quiet.Will you entice and indulge her addictions?

nine lives— her many brushes with death have led her to believe in the power of luck, fate, kismet, and the winds of fortune. She might even peer into the flames or consult the cards to read your fortune...Are you more than you seem to be?

scent of menphina— Jet smells quite lovely, especially to other felines, and has a delicate sense allowing her to learn quite a lot about someone from their scent, and such characters might learn a lot about her from her own. Be warned, however, that she is as repulsed by bad scents as she is attracted to good scents.Are you tracking her scent?

behind the curtain— after serving an apprentice aboard the Prima Vista Theater, developing her skills as an artist, musician, dancer and actor, and living an honest life working as a delivery girl and social liaison to the theater's many important and wealthy patrons (most notably a white-haired foreigner adopted by a powerful Kugane family) Jet has used her connections within artistic social circles to open "The Wolf and the Raven", a small bespoke oddities shoppe and tattoo parlor with a secret penchant for the occult and eldritch secrets.Are you a patron of the arts?

life after death— having faced so many dangers and having done so much wrong at such a young age, Jet has buried her armor and rifle, following a deep desire to avoid the lure of adventure, seeking joyful peace in the mundane, friendship, and love under the light of the moon and in the arms of her fiancé, a blonde miqo'te, while seeking to understanding the strange mysteries that haunt her.Can she ever escape her past?
