Deus Ex Machina: The Xenogears Tale ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PERSONA SHEET ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Creator Information ------------------- Name or Alias: Ruaki Sex: F E-mail address: Valgarv@aol.com, Ruakichan@aol.com ICQ/AIM/Yahoo! Pager/etc. (if applicable): Valgarv, Ruakichan Character Information --------------------- ****NAVIGATIONS OFFICER of the Yggdrasil**** -Name: Xai "Jammer" Winter -Age: 27 -Sex: F -Affliation: The Yggdrasil (a nation of its own...) -General Appearance: A handsome woman of short height and medium build. Her hair, a dark blonde, is pulled back tightly from her weather-beaten face into a bun at the back of her head, making her green hawk-eyed gaze look even fiercer. She doesn't smile much, offsetting the appearance of hard, unforgiving stone. -Voice: Rough and grainy; the result of a run-in with some sandmen that resulted in the maiming of her vocal cords. -Dress/Attire/Jewelry/Weapons/etc: A uniform not unlike Drake's; stiff, dun- colored uniform and black boots. A short scimitar is at her side though, and the way she wears it does give off the appearance that she more than knows how to use it. -Personality: Despite the "cold, unrelenting" appearance she gives off, Xai is actually a very warm, friendly persona to approach. Although she isn't quite that old, years of living in the desert sun has altered her appearance harshly, but she is by no means ugly. Although she never smiles, it does not mean she has no sense of humor. In fact, her humor is often dry, clinical, and often pierces the fallacies of life with a sharp point. Very no- nonsense, this lady. -Background: Xai came from a trader's family that lived outside Bledavik, in the desert. They were beset upon by monsters, which killed her mother and ruined her father's business. Xai was forced to get a job at age twelve in the city, where she worked in one of the local shops in the street market. There, she also run a fencing ring for rare goods and technologies. She later handed the shop to a co-worker involved in the ring, and moved onto actually transporting and smuggling goods from Kislev to Aveh and back. She was then approached by Rivian several times, and upon several close calls with the authorities, decided that it might be safer to join the crew of the Yggdrasil.
