Appearance:
Aeryn is a beautiful elven woman in her mid-twenties. She is a little below average height (1.68m or 5ft.6in.) with a slender and willowy figure. Her waist-length raven-black hair is worn open, with a few strands braided together into three thin braids, two of which are framing her fine-featured face, while a raven's feather is bound into the third braid running down her back. Her eyes are emerald green, but most of the time they are behind orange-colored sunglasses. Aeryn usually wears black biking leathers, which tightly fit her figure, and a loose-fitting leather jacket on top. She wears two mentionable pieces of jewelry, a silver necklace with an obsidian pendant, shaped like an upside-down cone (Sustaining Focus), and a bracelet with a number of shamanistic symbols engraved in it, representing all aspects of nature (Power Focus). Most of her fetishes, a number of crystals representing the various aspects of nature apart from the raven's feather in her hair, are attached to the inside of her jacket, and there are a number of small pouches on her belt, which contain her other equipment. Aeryn often wears a simple black cap, which has her trodes hidden inside.
Background:
Aeryn has been living on the streets of Seattle for quite some time. Her parents had died in a gang shootout when she was still very young, leaving her homeless. Even as a kid her magical talent was already strong and Raven was a constant companion, being a mentor and offering counsel. On one fortunate day, Aeryn met an old chinese Talismonger called Lung. Also awakened, he saw the potential in the young elven girl and offered to give her a place to live in return for some help in his shop. It was her start in a new and better life. Lung gave her a home and teached her many interesting things, he also helped refine her magical abilities. As the years passed, Aeryn's desires increased and she needed more and more money to fulfill them. She had learned quickly, that magicians were in short supply and such talent was quite in demand. Aeryn never had much respect for the law, they were never there when she needed them, and so she didn't really see how she owed them anything. It was only a small step for her to begin a criminal career. Lung never questioned her decisions. For some reason, Aeryn thought this was strange, but she never had the courage to ask him. The old man was so wise and knowledgeable, he surely would have his reasons. After a while, she could afford her own flat, and plenty other things, among them a SIN. A fake one, but still better than nothing. It opened up many doors in the big city. Aeryn began to spend her nights in the various clubs, she really enjoyed her life, her rough childhood fading into the background. But she will never forget Lung, the friendly old chinese, and even today she often visits him in his shop, and even helps him there sometimes.
