No | [atrb=border,0,true] primary skills + two-handed Kiinat-Rei's most powerful combat ability is easily her skill with heavy, two-handed weapons -- battle-axes being her favorite. Despite her tendency to don only light armor, which might leave someone with such a slow-swinging weapon open to quicker, retaliating blows, she has learned to use the extended reach of her axes and duck the brunt of incoming damage. + alchemy When her weapons and armor fail her, Kiinat-Rei invariably falls back on her potions -- she crafts a potent health draught, and even nastier, lingering poisons. She can make almost anything, and sells quite a few potions to travelers and farmers a like: With the return of dragons, potions of resist fire have become much more popular. + illusion Kiinat-Rei primarily uses calm spells, something she learned early on -- and has found useful ever since, on both wild beasts that would attack her while she collects alchemic ingredients... and on mer and men that would wish her harm or mistrust for her argonian blood. Invisibility and muffle are other favorites of hers, which, obviously, help to aid her when she endeavors to go unnoticed. weapons + ancient nord battleaxe While delving into the ruins of an ancient nord structure, Kiinat-Rei encountered a handful of draugr -- and gladly (re)killed them all. She took the axe she found on the stronger of them for her own, rather enamored with the design of it. + iron dagger Her mother's, the dagger is old and worn, and she keeps it largely for the sentimental value. She also finds it easier to poison enemies with a well-placed stab than to use her much more unwieldly axe... unless she is already in the midst of battle, of course. armor + studded armor Kiinat-Rei has always favored lighter armor, and currently wears studded and leather pieces. She makes the most of it herself, but as smithing is hardly a strength of hers, she often gets Balimund to help her shape and improve the fit. appearance Kiinat-Rei is a striking contrast of black and white scales, imposing and sharp. She is tall for an argonian, lithe and long-limbed... and surpisingly unsneaky, for all her grace and supposed inborn stealth. She likes to wear feathers and small trinkets on her horns, strung from animals or plants she has collected herself. personality On first impressions, Kiinat-Rei is cold and quiet, a disconcertingly watchful creature. She rarely speaks freely to strangers, preferring to think her words over, and cuts a tall, imposing figure. She is often more intimidating than she means to be, but she doesn't mind this at all -- the more fear she commands, the better. When she does speak, she is often critical and blunt, much more to-the-point than most would like her to be. She has never seen reason to sugar-coat her words, so she does not, no matter how often it gets her into trouble. And while she has a commendable temper, taking quite a bit to set her off, once she is provoked... she can be quite violent. All that aside, she can make a good friend -- loyal if it's earned, and attentive to those that she cares for. She's the sort to go out of the way to take care of friends' problems, usually through strength or violence instead of tact and guile. (Not to say she's not capable of the latter; she's just more practiced with her weapons.) A brave individual, she is not afraid to delve into dungeons or take dangerous mountain passes... she just usually prefers not to. It's not efficient, and unless she requires something specific, she is unlikely to go out of her way to explore. (Perhaps the only exception to this is her hunt for new alchemic ingredients, for which she will climb the obscurest of mountains; dive into the deepest of marshes.) history Her parents, like many Argonians who find themselves in Skyrim, worked at the assemblage in Windhelm, where Kiinat-Rei was born. Heavily restricted wages and persistant racism made it difficult to raise a child, and Kiinat-Rei's mother left Windhelm for Riften. Her father, however, stayed behind, with his own family who did not wish or were not able to move. Riften proved a much better place of residence, both for its climate and for its job opportunities -- Kiinat-Rei's mother got a job at the fishery, and Kiinat found she had enough time and resources to indulge in her interest in alchemy. (She worked with Elgrim for a short while, and learned the basics -- she left soon after, preferring to test her own recipes and hunt down her own ingredients.) It was during one of her yearly trips to Windhelm to visit her father that she stumbeld across the ruin that would reward her with her favorite axe -- and a new respect for the fighting skills of the undead. Though unafraid to fight the draugr, she now makes a point not to enter such ruins unless necessary. Though her skill in alchemy only continued to increase -- potions to cure disease and grant waterbreathing being increasingly popular, alongside fire and magic resistance... she was not making enough money selling her wares to citizens of the rift or travelers passing by. She took up a job alongside her mother at the fishery, taking advantage of her natural ability to breathe water to set the nets. |
