Name: Ponti
Gender: Female
Species: Eldar
Age: 201yrs
Height: No one is sure. Appears to be around 6.5ft tall (actual hight of 7.3ft)
Weight: hard to tell, no one has ever tried to find out
Notes:She has no tongue...
Allegiance: none
Rank/Occupation: wanderer
Born: Unknown
Languages Spoken: None anymore
Appearance: Ponti's true appearance is a challenging subject, for she rarely shows any of her features to anyone. What most people would see of her is a hooded figure, ever so slightly hunch, yet taller than average height. The hood descends into a long cloak of browns and greens. Such a coat is not out of place in the hives, yet in the greener places of the world, can be a challenge to spot. But for those who have had a chance to meet or even confront her, they will remember sharp features, amber eyes and purple hair which fades to black under the hood. The hair seems to be what stands out most about Ponti, with two curls which frame her face while the rest of it seems to cascade in a curl out of the hood when it is visible.
History: Even in the more knowledgeable circles of the Eldar, Ponti's history is shrouded in speculations. It is not even known if this is because she is generally unimportant, or purposefully forgotten. There are whispers of a women of noble birth who dishonored her father with a misplaced outburst. There are also whispers of a Haemonculi's play thing rescued from captivity.
What is known is that Ponti was with a band of corsairs on a ship of unremarkable prestige. But after a string of unusual accidents and terrible misfortune, she was found to be the blame of all that had befallen them. Considered to be cursed or at the very least a bad omen, the crew of corsairs marooned her on the planet of Haven. Maybe they had hoped that the planet's name would be to her benefit?
Now, Ponti wanders the planet, avoiding contact where she can and avoiding conversations even more. For one thing is very well known about Ponti to those who know of her. She has no tongue...
It has taken her time to adjust to her new life. She has adapted from steeling to survive (leaving something of value in place of stolen items if possible) to learning how to get across what she desires without using words. This has had mix results. With the coming of conflict to the planet, Ponti has been in ever more need to avoid others and has minimal contact with anyone. Thankfully, she is now well versed in the trade she plys.
Personality: Ponti is shy, reserved and timid. She avoids everyone as much as she can and does her best to go unnoticed. Though to those who somehow gain her trust, she is polite and even friendly. But the more she gets to know someone, the more she will try to avoid them, less they suffer any foul fate because of her. Dispite this, she seems to have a particular soft spot of children. She will happily spend a moment to cheer up a crying child with some humming or play a quick game before hurrying away.
Equipment:
-cloak, hood and facemask of brown and green which blend in well with foliage
-Clothes that are usually hidden from sight
-two shuriken pistols with extra magazines
- A plasma grenade which looks like a comically large acorn
-Personal kit and items of a wanderer
Characteristics:
High Concept: "Lonesome wanderer" A good portion of Ponti's time on planet has been spent in isolation. Continually moving to survive and stay hidden
Trouble: "Omen of misfortune" Not even she knows why, but everywhere she goes bad things happen to those around her
Aspect: "Not quite what you were expecting..." As a byproduct of her mysterious presence and even her nature in general, people are usually surprised by Ponti one way or another
Stunts:
Ill tidings to whom she meets: Due of her nature to attract misfortune, once per thread, misfortune will befall someone in the thread (this will be at the writer of the thread's discretion).
Friend of children: Because of her ability to connect with children, Ponti gets +2 to her flashy rolls when she interacts with children.
Like a phantom into the night: Because of many year of practice going unoticed, once per thread Ponti can disappear from sight and reappear if she chooses not to leave there and then. Though if she does reappear, it must be plausible that she can appear in that place within the amount of time she was hidden.
