Name: Markato Phersu
Age: 24 Stanzas (24 years)
Race Name: Lirina
Racial Powers:
Markato has experience in certain forms of crystal magic from past jobs.
• Reshaping: she can alter the shape of crystals. The larger the attempted change, the less likely it is to work. Anything smaller than a fist is fine. Normally works on the fly. Blades made like this can be up to Light sharpness.
• Sound Modification: she can imbue crystals with sound amplification properties, allowing things made with them to deal sound damage (power up to Moderate). Additionally she can also do sound nullification properties. She can also alter non-volume properties such as pitch.
• Harden: Markato can alter the internal structure of crystals to increase their strength. This removed their weakness to shattering from impact, and makes them resist attacks up to Moderate (or up to Strong if they’re already that). However, Hard crystals cannot be reshaped.
Description of Character: Markato is a Lirina woman who stands at 5’7, or 1.75m aprox, and she has a strong build. Her skin is deep blue, and her hair is very short and black. The irises are a solid red, and she has an intense gaze and thick eyebrows. Her ears come to an elf-like point, like all Lirina.
Character Personality: Markato is an ambitious person, and desires to gain position and standing in Rune through politics, social climbing and underhanded business. However, she is not chaotic – it is a desire for order and rationality that motivates her, as well as pure control, and she genuinely wishes to be put in charge so that she can do it the right way. She is often unprepared to deal with what she considers the irrational standpoints and views of others, and can lose patience very quickly in those situations.
Markato is an expert at playing façade personalities in order to manipulate how others perceive her, and doing so is second nature. By keeping this up, she remains untouched emotionally by others, and has no problem using them ruthlessly. It's hard to tell if how she acts alone is even the real her, or if that person really exists. Currently she uses an airy, peaceful Lirina persona to appear innocent and trusting while manipulating circumstances behind the scenes. While her sense of morality is horribly lacking, she is not a fan of the violent approach, and prefers to talk things out instead, as this is easier for her to organise and take control of. There's a distinct difference between an aggressive brawl and assassination though, and the later is just fine.
While a selfish bastard, she is genuinely hard-working, extremely devoted to self improvement and excellence in her interests/studies, and respects those qualities in others. She doesn't let mistakes phase her to an extreme and is incredibly hard to discourage, being stubbornly certain in her own ways.
She currently makes her living selling imbued crystals and commissioning pieces of art/jewellery/other implements from her shop in the Red district of Vice, and sometimes playing guitar or piano freelance in restaurants. She arrived in Rune with some preparation, but in a rush.

Inventory:
Worn:
- Persona Gem: (ARTIFACT) A translucent teal sphere worn on a necklace. It is made of diamond and is indestructible. When someone attempts to gain information or insight about the wearer while they are not acting like themselves (such as via mind-reading), the sphere will conjure a fake “persona” that will be read instead. It is based on how the wearer wishes to be perceived. This is not a visible effect. This illusion is Epic level and extremely convincing. The wearer is alerted when it activates and the gem records an image of what the intruder looks like. By bringing up the image of an intruder and tapping the Gem, the wearer can locate them from anywhere and gain visual and audio on what they are doing (WPP)(Epic). This effect does not apply to those who passively activated the Persona Gem. The wearer can also specifically alter the persona if they want something specific to be read.
- Crystal Gauntlets: Gauntlets made of sliding scales of dark green crystal. The ends of the fingers are slightly pointed. They completely protect from slicing damage up to Strong, but shatter easily under impact (weak).
- Master’s Earmuffs: White earmuffs made of crystal and fabric. They can be tuned to filter out all damaging or otherwise opposing sound up to Moderate and defend against the effects of higher, but allow words through. If someone speaking has an effect to their words, this will filter the effect out but allow the words to pass (still up to Moderate).
- Deceptive garments: This special outfit can remodel itself to look like whatever basic clothing the wearer desires. However, it's colour scheme is limited to monochrome. The transformation is not instantaneous, and takes longer for more unusual clothing, so can only occur between threads. The clothing is also enchanted to provide Moderate defence against all attacks. Right now it is a causal gothic Lolita-style outfit, consisting of a short, sleeveless dress with a cupcake-shaped tiered skirt, and complete with black full length leggings with matching platform shoes. It has more pockets than it appears.
- Markato’s Personal Parasol: (Held) A parasol entirely made of Hard crystal. The top of the parasol forms a Strong shield when extended, resistant to blades, impacts and non-conductive to fire and electricity. It also reflects the kinetic energy of attacks by 50%, lessening the stress of using it (if you hit the shield with your full strength, the hit bounces off with half of your full force). The handle contains a button which will instantly extend or retract the top when pressed. When extended like this, the parasol is able to produce a Strong gust of wind, which blows both the holder and the attacker back equally. When swung or optionally when extended, the parasol can produce a shrieking sound that affects everyone around the parasol (strong sound, causes reactions such as hard flinching). When retracted the parasol can be used to stab with the end (Moderate).
- Sapphire Flatbow: A delicate rectangular bow made of elm and enchanted sapphire. It folds up to around a foot in length when not in use. When the string is drawn, the bow automatically forms crystal arrows that pierce through defences up to and including Moderate and deals Moderate damage. The arrows are also enchanted with Moderate wind damage and deal disproportionate knockback (they push you back a good distance, depending on weight)to whomever they hit, regardless of whether they damage the target or not. If the bow should become damaged, it will be unable to form arrows for the remainder of the thread.
- Magatama: A green gem shaped like the number 9. When the holder is lied to, it changes colour to red and vibrates (light). However it is easily fooled by half-truths and misleading answers.
- Small Crystal Chunk X 3: A chunk of crystal of any colour. Can be easily reshaped. Can only carry 3 at one time.
- Acoustic Guitar: a tuned Guitar
- Crystal Electric Guitar: a specially-made electric guitar made partially of crystal with sound amplification properties. Due the crystal it doesn’t need to be plugged in nor mixed to produce the right sound. However, it is now rather heavy. Purple in colour.
- Unlimited Small Crystal Chunks
