About My Character

Elessa is a fairly young Tsuari that arrived in Alexandria tired of the wandering life and lured more by the stories and adventures that was had in the great city that disappeared. She has spent the past several months in and around the city, hired mostly by the Guild of Explorers, but she attempts to make her way also by not so... legal means. She'll help out when people need it, but usually on her own whim.

Recently she has gotten hired on as a locksmith with another sneaky gentleman. Together they run the Under Lock and Key, with Renfrey as her boss, and the owner.

RP Hooks

Anything sneaky she loves.

Stealing things would be fun too if given the chance.

She is shy and careful around paladins, though not so many clerics, but obvious... moral reasons.

Have any security concerns or a stuck lock? Ask Elessa and she would gladly help you with it.

The Azure Queen is gone, and the city is falling quiet, well as much as a city can be quiet. Much louder than being out in the Vast, that is for sure. Construction is going on and there are burials and funeral rites being done constantly, a lot of things for someone with sticky fingers to lift and hopefully sell without someone realizing that it was stolen.

So I was looking at some of the estate sales going on, since many families with no heirs had died during the Exorcism, and just wanted to see what these wealthy people cherished so much. One of the sales was open to the public for a viewing before the bidding and purchasing was to begin. I took a look through and spotted the most beautiful rapier I had ever seen. The hilt was immaculate and the blade seemed so sharp. When I picked it up to test it, something resonated with me. I had to have it, I needed it... and somehow I thought it needed me. That night I returned and swiped it. It was placed among several swords and weapons that they were selling and it never sounded like they noticed it was missing.

I keep it near me, I don't want to lose it, and I definitely don't want it stolen from any other unscrupulous character. I don't know what it is about this rapier though... It's... special...

Something was odd when I got up today. When I picked up the rapier I got a couple weeks ago, there was something... something I needed to do. I had already dressed to go out, planning on dropping off my armor with Mikilos so he could put a better enhancement on it. Instead though, I sat down on my bed, and held the rapier in my hand. I set the scabbard down beside me on the bed and held the blade itself in my hand. There was something there, something I couldn't describe.

I felt a power in my hands, one that I could only glimpse at. I also felt something deep down in myself seem to... flow... into the rapier. I initially didn't know how long I sat there, just staring at the blade. At times it felt like it was no time at all, it others like eternity. It turned out I was sitting there for hours, doing.... I don't know what.

Whatever happened I was rather tired by the end of it, and starving. I headed out to actually deliver the armor to Mikilos like I planned, and got a good meal to eat as I had eaten all day. I'm not sure what happened to the rapier, but I have a feeling I should sell the short sword I've been using. The rapier won't be leaving my side any time soon.
