((Any corrections with Skill names would be greatly appreciated))
Name: Kestrel "Sona" Azure
Age: Young, though not over 20
Race: Human
Hair Color: Deep Red, roughly cut at around mid neck level.
Eye Color: Dark Brown in the Right, Light Green on the Left. Heterochromia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterochromia)
Height: 5'6"
Weight: Light
Occupation: Musician
Interests:
Music: In nearly every shape and form from birds singing to the beat of a drum. Anything from composition to simply listening.
Technology: Generally a less indulged interest, but Sona would spend some time exploring various new marvels of the modern world.
General Dislikes
Food: Most food in general doesn't tend to sit well with Sona. She tends to eat only when she knows she has to, and generally doesn't enjoy it that much.
Drink: for the same reasons as food. However, Sona is also easily effected by nearly every posion, and would probably fall to them more quickly than the average girl her size.
Silence: Silence in general, though this is often solved by Tambora.
Appearance: Sona is a pretty girl, almost striking if somewhat under-fed. However, she wouldn't be able to get by on her looks alone. She has an angular face, and when not walking or running she often has her eyes closed. Curiosly, she also looks very much like the locals of nearly every human-dominated place she goes to given a week or so. While not the biggest of girls, she is reasonibly quick, and often wears tighter cloths than most. Her day to day cloths tend to vary in apperance greatly, without much rhyme or reason to them. She does, however, almost always wear a short sleved shirt and long tight pants. If the day is warmer or colder the cloths are known to lengthen or shorten depending on her whims. Sona seems to also have a thing for strips as well. The most obvious things she often has on her headphones. They are large and completly cover her ears, effectivly blocking most sound from ever reaching her. Unbeknownest to most, music is often playing through them Also almost always on her is a long rectangular box with a large handle that ranges along the top. There are several steel blades in the shape of a mouth on both ends and etend when the handle is jerked upward fast enough. It gives some people the impression of a crude steel demon when they first see it from the side.
History:
Sona's early is a bit like others who had been living on Concordia with her, though it is rather apparent she had her own sort of luck. She was born originally into the Bandit Brotherhood, with both parents devout members of the group focused in the Concordia forest. She was one of the fewer kids in there at the time, and spent the first couple years of her life in the fort. Despite the naturel tendency to join in the playful fighting of the other kids, it became quickly apparent that she was not as good as the othe children with a sword or a dagger. At the same time howeever, she was also playing one of the bandits flutes with more skill than the self-proclaimed virtuoso. She spent another few years there, learning a couple tricks of the trade in terms of banditry, as well as also continueing to improve her own musical talent. It was around her fourteenth or fifteenth birthday she receievd Krackatoa rom the spoils of one raid, and Tambora from another with six months of each other.
Despite the efforts of her parents, she and the other kids all knew about the Mindless threat that was the plague of Concordia forest. However, when the rally was finally called to join in the final battle against the evil beings she was not allowed to come despite her wishes. Given her lack of battle expereance, she probably couldn't have even helped the bandit brotherhood at all. Quite a few of her freinds that she grew up with went along with the gallant Brotherhood army, and Sona could honestly say that she never saw them again. The musician decided against staying witht he Brotherhood during the time, preferring to simply run away and make a quick living and not to fight the gray-skinned beings that terrorized the rest of the forest.
She had heard word of the Bandit Brotherhoods victory some time later, as well as the death of Yari Rafanas and the group's slow break-up afterwords. There were rumors that Gild, Yari's second in command, was bringing them all under a new flag by Sona le them be. She was making her own living easily enough with the small troupe she was in. She often switched from troupe to troupe as they came around however, preferring to stay along the shorelines of Corone. She has currently made her way to the Scara Brae, and whatever work she'll be able to get there.
Battle Worthy Skills: All of these may only be used with Krackatoa and Tambora. Krackatoa may be substiuted for some other sort of instrument, but at great expense to the Skills effectivness, and would greatly increase how tiring they all are, limiting her to a single use per day. Also, without Tambora, these skills are increased in power by a substantial amount, but Sona would permenetly damage her hearing.
Largo Soprano: A simple enough skill, it is a simple wave of force that would push people away from Sona within a couple yards of her. Following imediatly after that is a blast of sound that could potentially stun a weak willed person. The sound itslef is deep and like an echo, feeling like the after math of getting hit on the head. She is not affected by the wave so long as she is holding Krackatoa. Takes a moderate amount of energy from Sona, and could only be done once before she needs a couple moments to catch her breath.
Presto Falsetto A simple skill, this is merely a shrill sound that can hurt the hearing of someone and leave them ringing afterwords, though it is unlikely there would be any serious reprocussions. Takes a miner amount of energy from Sona, but leaves her breathless afterwords.
Noteworthy Skills
Instruments: Sona is especially well skilled in the guitar, flute and violin. She is well versed in most string instruments however, and could play most of them well enough to get dinner at most taverns. In addition, Sona has been known to pick up most instruments with an almost uneard of speed, quickly learning how to play with little touble and making songs without much more. She also often has the minor tools needed for the upkeep of her instruments, as well as the more common ones. However, her voice leaves more than a little something to be desired.
First-Aid Nothing great, but enough to bandage a wound effectivly and do some minor field repairs. She learned a few things while growing up beyond Music.
Equipment: ((Nothing will be sold. Ever.))
Bag: Currently contains a second pair of sturdy shoes, several half-filled books of musical compositions and some traveling jerky of debatable age. It also currently holds her flute as well.
Clothing: Nothing exactl terribly strange, but Sona's cloths can change color, pattern and length on whim. However, if cut they must be repaired. The cloth will not grow back, but would cost under 20 gold to get even a weak enchanter to fix the clothing. Taken from old Bandit Brotherhood vault.
Tambora: The name given to her headphones. They often play some sort of music that Sona can hear based on her mood, and never seem to stop playing. Made of Steel with soft leather earpieces to cushin them against her head. Also effectivly block most sound from ever even reaching her. Old presant from childhood.
Krakatoa: A long rectangular box with a large handle that ranges along the top. There are several steel blades in the shape of a mouth on both ends and extend when the handle is jerked upward fast enough. When the teeth hit something, they close. It gives some people the impression of a crude steel demon's mouth opening and closing when they first see it from the side. There are two circular parts on one side. Something akin to a boombox. Currently the entire contraption is made of Steel. Oddly, it only feels around 5 pounds to Sona, though in reality it is close to 30. Old presant from childhood.
Flute: The easiest instrument she is able to carry around without much trouble, aside from Krackatoa. No special properties.
