Back to the B a s i c s »»»Name Katarinia Isabelle Corbane [Kat] »»»Age Nineteen»»»Gender Female »»»Country Kes'sarria »»»Class Rogue »»»Level Starter Tier»»»Occupation She delivers prescriptions from the local apocrathy, and she sometimes runs errands for some rather shady characters. »»»Religion --- A R e f l e c t i o n »»»Height Five Foot, Two Inches.»»»Hair Color Midnight Black»»»Eye Color A shocking ocean blue.»»»Overall Appearance Her outer appearance can be accredited to two things. Her bloodline, and a rather odd strike of chance. Like many in her race, she has the deep black hair, which is cut to remain above her shoulders at all times. She has the shocking eyes that shine with a blue that puts the ocean to shame, and last but not least is her perfectly pale skin, seemingly flawless not a freckle nor blemish upon her flesh. Beauty does indeed radiate from this girl. She glitters in any light, and seems to hold an uncanny radiance about her. Though odd is her size, compared to others of her race. Not only is she unusually short in stature, but she's rather thin as well. Her size cannot be blamed upon genetics as both of her parents were quite tall, and her weight has always been on the lighter side of things. She's a delicate being, with the small, thin stature of a ballet dancer. She's indeed a unique sight, even to those of her own kind. Her hands and feet are small and delicate, and at times she could be compared to one of those beautiful glass dolls. Though there is one difference between her and one of those dolls. Its the life burning within her eyes, the mere aura about her. She radiates in the light, and her presence is hard to ignore. No matter how pale she is, she seems far from deathly or ghostly. Though what exactly makes her so different from the others is hard to identify, almost like it's a hidden feature that one cannot see right away...Perhaps this feature is deeper then skin...
With the basics of her body mapped out, it would seem that she's a weak girl. Fragile and not meant for hard work. Though this is a very incorrect assumption about Kat. Though her body is small and fragile, it's much stronger then one could ever think possible. Not only is she extremely agile, but she has a strength to her that's hard to compete with. Her physical endurance is astonishing. She can run for miles, and go far past the point of what would normally exhaust a human. Though she isn't able to lift a ton, she is able to carry a fair amount of weight. She's a hard worker, who has trained herself to look vulnerable and weak, to hide her inner strength. She's learned that if people mistake her for being weak, that they will be much easier to defeat, because they will be surprised when they find out how strong she really is. She can physically handle a lot, and she's far from fragile. Her agility is probably one of the most surprising things about her. Despite her short legs that seem void of any more muscle then needed to hold her up, she's extremely quick on her feet. Her endurance allows her to run for miles without tiring. She's an expert at maneuvering and using her surroundings to her advantage. And when attacking, she can attack multiple times, very quickly, without tiring easily. She's fit, and what little muscle she has is toned to perfection. This glass rose, is about as tough as a diamond...
Apparel wise, she's quite the unique one. She has no real care for the latest fashion trends, and she tends to wear what is most comfortable, and efficient for her. Her main outfit tends to consist of a beautiful black corset, with a golden lace. Over the corset is a cropped jacket, unzipped to show off the layer beneath, and on each side of the jacket's breast are white X's, along with a hood laced with plush, white fur. Her pants are custom designed, black, baggy around the legs and tight around the waist. They have matching white X's on the top pocket of each leg, though an innumerable amount of pockets cover these pants. Chains hang from a couple of the pockets, and there are two straps hanging from the waist of the pants, crisscrossing as if they were suspenders. The pants are cropped at her knees. Her thin, beautifully slender legs are bare until you reach her heavy, black leather boots. They stop above her ankle, and they too, are custom made. They have straps across the top of the foot, zippers on the side and they are laced tightly, for the best amount of support possible. They may seem constricting but they actually allow her to move more then regular shoes. Around her neck hangs a beautiful golden locket, a matching golden heart dangling from the chain. The heart has a ruby in the middle, and a bunch of intricate engraved designs that cover the heart. The contents of the heart are unknown, as she allows no one to touch it, nor has she ever removed it from her neck. Her ears are pierced, three times on the left, four on the right. She also has some tattoos. Upon her shoulder blades are two matching wings, that cover her entire shoulder blades. They're intricately designed in black ink, and they are so detailed that they seem to move with her. The back of her neck, there is a small incantation that reads "Luna servata, lux santa. Chaos statutum, pejus minutum." though it's meaning, or connection to her, is unknown. »»»Weapon Though she tends to use her hands more then anything, she does carry a series of small daggers, varying in size from a six inch blade down to a three inch blade. She also has a small pouch full of a personal concoction of several mixed powders that create a blinding effect if she needs to make a quick get away.The Juicy D e t a i l s »»»Relationship status Single. »»»Personality While she is the middle child of the bunch, she isn't as balanced as one person would expect her to be. She is indeed balanced, yes, but only inwardly. She tends to be unbalanced in the way she behaves around people other then her sisters, but when she's just with them she's indeed the neutral of the three. Complex and hard to understand, it's quite difficult to fully get to know this girl until you show her that she can trust you, which is a very hard thing to do. But we'll start out with the basic, most evident and most common features first.
First and most common with Kat, you will find that she's quite the quiet character. She rarely speaks and is often thought to be the mute of the group. She avoids answering most questions unless she absolutely has to, and when that time comes she tends to answer them in the fewest words possible. Meek and quiet, she's often thought to be deaf and dumb as well, because in most instances she shows little acknowledgement to those around her. It isn't true, and she's actually very intellectual. Often thinking, she tends to remain quiet while she observes those around her. She pays more attention then one would guess, and she's a lot smarter then one would normally assume, even if she did speak. One of the many reasons why she doesn't speak, is because she finds that words are often thrown around in a careless nature. She finds that body language and action means so much more, and she'd much rather use that to confess her feelings and display her emotions, rather then commonly used words. But she doesn't stay mute like forever. Once you show her that she can trust you, which is indeed a very hard thing to do, she'll start to open up to you. You just need to show her that she can trust you, and show her that it's okay to trust you.
Once you crack her shell, you'll find that she's a constantly curious person. She loves to learn new things and she loves checking them out. Don't be surprised if you find her tinkering with things, or observing them closely. She will often take things apart and try to put them back together. Most of the time she does get them back in working order the first time around, but if it doesn't work she'll keep trying. Determination is something that is evident within her from the very start. She's one of the most determined, stubborn people you could ever possibly meet. She rarely gives up, and once her mind is set on something, it is set. She doesn't let anything or any one hold her back from her goals. She believes firmly in her values and will stand up for them no matter what the cost, even if she has to raise her voice. She's very firm with herself, and she doesn't let herself give up easily. She's always trying to prove people wrong, always trying to defy odds. She's a day dreamer, someone who invests a lot of her heart into her dreams. She believes that everyone has a destiny, and that anyone can change the world for the greater good. She believes she can do anything that she puts her mind to, and that if she really has to, she can defeat anyone that stands in her way. That makes her a very competitive person. When she opens up to you, you'll discover that she loves competition. If you want to race, she's the person you would challenge. Playful and fun loving, she loves competition but she's never a sore loser. She will always admit to defeat if she has fairly lost, and will indeed congratulate the winner. Never one to be fond of sour emotions, she tries her best to remain optimistic and happy as much as she can.
Her undying amount of determination mixed with her strong disliking of sadness or anger, makes her the problem solver. She's the person you want to come to when you have a problem or need advice. She opens her shoulder for anyone who needs to cry. She will always give hugs and comforting words, trying her best to make sure that no one is looked over. Caring and sweet, she's very selfless in the way she behaves. She puts everyone before herself, and then some. A saint of sorts, she tries her hardest to make sure the people around her are happiest, most specially those that she cares for. Anyone close to her gets treated like gold. She would walk to the ends of the Earth to make her friend or loved ones happy. She dedicates her life and soul to them, and gives them everything. Always trying to smile, and always being sweet, she makes sure that even the saddest of people have a smiling face to brighten their day. She is also very protective of her friends, despite her weakness. She'd gladly put her life on the line for a friend's safety. That simple feature doesn't allow her much time to really pay attention to herself. She always bottles up her sad emotions, and always hides her constant depression. She hides it in fear that it will upset those around her. She doesn't want anyone to be sad on her account, and so she keeps her emotions to herself at all times. She often tries to get her emotions out through writing, but she never has the time, and so her emotions often have a physical toll upon her body. But because of the constancy of her emotions, she has learned to overcome many obstacles, and she's become toughened and strong.
Because of these few features, one could guess that because she doesn't have much time to herself, and because she has all her confidence invested in her friends and humanity, one could guess very easily that she has absolutely no self confidence what so ever. Compliments do not lift her up, but instead the scold her and make her only more scolding towards herself. She's always beating down on herself, always mentally scolding herself. She finds it very hard to accept compliments, and even harder are gifts. Her selfless nature makes it extremely hard for her to receive gifts because she often feels guilty when a gift is given to her. She will often refuse the gift but with a little persuasion she will accept the gift, and then treat it like gold after indeed giving something back equal or greater value. Because of her kind and loving nature, many people tend to underestimate her and tend to believe that she has no temper. And while her temper is indeed very hard to awaken, it does indeed exist. And it's not a pretty thing. Her temper is a scary, fiery beast that even scares her. Because of her fears of hurting those she loves, she keeps her temper hidden and bottles up any bad emotions within herself, trying her hardest to remain calm and cool. But when her temper is released, she becomes a whole new person. She's loud and mean. Cruel with her words she can cause much damage with a few words, but even more damage can be caused from her bare hands. She's not a violent person by nature, but when set off she's very dangerous in how bad she can get. Because of that she hides it with shame, and tries her hardest to keep it concealed. This also creates a strong fear of love. She's terrified that she will end up hurting the one she loves. She doesn't realize how great she really is.
In a summary, she's actually a very loving, wonderful girl who is stuck in a massive internal war with herself. Lost and confused, scared and absolutely terrified of falling into any sort of relationship that could hurt her in the long run, she finds herself hesitant to get close to strangers. She's a sweetheart, and selfless. She'd never hurt someone unless she feels that they deserve it. Protective over what she loves, she guards the few loved ones she has with care and dedication. She tries her very hardest to be the very best person she could possibly be. She'll shower her dear friends with all the love she has. But when someone tries to give her that back she ends up shying away, scared to hurt them, and even more terrified to be hurt. She has a very fiery temper, but is strongly terrified of her own inner darkness. Curiosity leads her to her brilliance, even if it means making mistakes. She's silly and will do anything to make someone smile, though it isn't hard for her to do. Once you get on her good side it's hard to get off of it. She invests every ounce of her, every single bit of herself, her love and her soul into those she loves, making her very vulnerable. She has a strong hope for humanity, and an even stranger faith in it. She believes in the greater good, which can make her seem very naive at times. But she's intellectual and always observing. Don't underestimate her, you'll be very surprised at what you'll find. Give her a chance, show her some love, establish that it's okay, and you'll have met one of the sweetest girls in the world. You just need to put a little more effort then usual into it, though she's quite worth it, despite the fact that she denies such a truth. »»»History She was born into one of the largest families possible. She had multiple family members, only one of them was related to her by blood though. That one member, was her father. Now, I bet you're wondering where the other family members came from, well, we'll get to that soon enough. Let's start off with the most important figure in her life; daddy dearest. Kat's father was nobility, born into money, and born in the shade as they like to say. Her father was an assassin, and the owner of a very large assassination guild. It was like a mafia group, though they dealt only with death. Kat's mother was a horrid woman who had seduced Kat's father into falling in love. And when he had let his guard down for one person, she stole his heart, and the contents of his safe. And she left one thing; a bawling, premature bouncing baby girl set within a basket that was placed upon his desk. He found her, heart broken and filled with hate. Though, he could not turn his back to this baby girl. Her glittering ocean blue eyes matching his. She was his, and he had made a silent vow that he would invest the remaining compassion he had into his baby girl. He nurtured her, and raised her within the core of this assassination guild. She grew up knowing any young member of the guild as an older brother, she knew the older men as her uncles, and the few true women of the pack were all her replacement mothers. She grew up in the lap of luxury, and was destined to inherit her father's wealth and business, but let's not get ahead of ourselves...
She was raised in the confinements of the guild, given tutors and whatever she needed to grow and blossom. She grew into her father's footsteps, learning many tricks of the trade before many of the older members were able to comprehend such things. A brilliant mind resided within this girl, and it was evident that she would grow up to be exactly like her father. He wasn't a bad person, and had taken pride that he had never assassinated an innocent being. He convicted the scum of the streets, purging the alleys of drugs, rapists, prostitutes, the filth of the world. Every single assassination that he did, was done with respect, and an uncanny professionalism. And because her father was renowned for his brilliant methods, he taught many how to become the right kinds of assassins. And Kat, was one of his many students. He taught his ways with a sense of encouragement, and discipline. He may have been a complete softy towards his daughter, but no other person had managed to find their way into his heart. Every other man within the guild feared and equally respected Kat's father, and in the same sense they adopted Kat as their own. They adored this sweet hearted girl who often brought a lot of light, and love into such a dark, depressing environment. While others were bringing in heads of their targets, Kat was bringing cookies and goodies to the men. She loved everyone, adored every person she knew, she invested her entire heart into her father, and did the same. But all good things must come to an end, no? Nothing can ever remain perfect forever...
When Kat was about thirteen years old, there was a massive attack on her father's guild, her home. Many of the men that she had grown to love and think of as family, perished. Her father, desperate to save his dearest daughter, gave his most trusted gaurd the duty of taking her, and hiding her far, far away from the guild. But first, her father came into her room, slightly panicked from the attacks. He knew they had little time. And so he pressed a box to her chest, telling her that it was an early birthday present. He hugged her tightly, consoling and comforting the scared, lost little girl. With that sweet, lively smile of his, he told her that he loved her, planted a kiss upon her forehead and promised he would retrieve her later on when things calmed down. She nodded, her faith in her father strong. And then she left with the guard, having snuck out through a secret hallway. It would be the last time she ever saw her father. She was taken to the opposite side of the city, where her name would not be known, and where her identity would be safe. She was placed in what they called a temporary home, of an elderly man who ran an apocrathy. She waited for several weeks for her father to return, before she finally gave in and actually started warming up to the very kind old man. Though the love for her father and hope that he would one day came back never died. His present lay upon her neck, in the form of a goldne locket. She started working in the elderly man's shop shop, at first gathering simple herbs or running easy arronds. But as the elderly man noticed, Kat was adapting well to the outer city life. She had become very well adapted to her surroundings and it was not long before she knew every nook and cranny of the city by heart. But the turning point in her duties, was when she got into a competition with the delivery boy. She had challenged him to a race, stating that she could deliver more perscriptions in one hour, then he could in two.
The elderly man allowed this race to go through, and he decided he would observe them to see if this girl could in fact beat the delivery boy. At the end of the day, the number of delivered prescriptions were tallied. In two hours, the boy had delivered a total of twelve perscriptions, a large number for someone on foot. In one hour, Kat had delievered twenty-six, doing more then double the boy's work, in half the time. And so, the delivery boy gave up his job, and Kat started running deliveries. And because of her speed and ability to run for long periods of time (due to her training back at the guild, which she had vowed to keep secret), buisness began to boom for the small pharmacy. As the years passed though, Kat found her memories of her father growing heavier and heavier upon her heart. Delivering medicine was a very good job, and she was extremely skilled at it. But her heart was screaming at her to do more. She was often found day dreaming about the old days. She remembered the thrill, the adventure of being in the presence of deadly killers. She remembered the pride that her father held, and the longing to continue her father's legacy started to corrupt her mind. She started becoming rather friendly with some shady characters, and soon she wasn't only delivering perscriptions to elderly or sick... Her dreams to change the world for the better, to stop the war are starting to take over...She's decided to start working towards her goal, to become an assassin. And in the process, she plans on finding out what happened to her father, and if possible, she wants to make the men that she believes killed her father to pay, for taking away the only real family she had from her...There is more to her then anyone could have thought...
