Difference between revisions of "Rai'm Abrillynn Tymisonn"

Background

Rai'm is one of those people who can make herself either extremely pleasant or unpleasant to be around--and can change at the drop of a hat. Within her element, she is outgoing and talkative; not many people, however, see her take off on her own to spend time alone, in introspection. Having grown up on the streets in the capital of Doma as first a street rat and later a more successful thief, she's equipped with a fair bit of knowledge about Doma City: among other things, it's main streets and avenues, and a good deal of the better back routes and alleys; which shops you can buy what types of things at; and increasingly more dated knowledge of its important figures in the crime scene. She arms herself with a switchblade, a motleyglot of magic she has learned from various--only sometimes shady--acquaintances, a little bit of deceit, and all the information she can gather. When all else fails her, she can run like hell.

There is a saying in the Tymisonn family to the effect of 'hero blood' running in the family. Rai'm, now, didn't greatly care for this--she had an older brother, you see, that she looked up to greatly while she was little. Daen was such a great thief and swindler...in his little sister's eyes, anyway. But one day he disappeared, and given her alcoholic father and deceased mother, Rai'm felt greatly betrayed; she basically felt that he brother had left her to fend for herself. She soon left her 'home,' with no small amount of hatred of her father and some amount of fear she would never admit, and continued her own--education, of sorts.

It was in 1312 that she rediscovered her brother. Daenj'r had since become a white mage of the Temple of Ashura; which came as a great shock to his sister, and further compounded the sense of betrayal she felt. She was quite determined to leave him alone from there on, but as chance would have it, he caught her while she was trying to relieve a drunk mercenary (RPer--Shirinai/Seaniel) of a few of his possessions.

Of a necessity, an alliance promptly formed between the two, but it was uneasy. Even though her brother wanted Rai'm to give up thieving, Rai'm stubbornly refused. Nevertheless, she did begin to sporadically keep in touch with her brother--perhaps partially motivated by a desire to mooch off his temple, before its complete and utter destruction (in which she had a...small part, she would admit). Rai'm now stays in more reliable contact due to her brother's marriage to Jazz and the birth of their three children. She and Daen more or less get along now--when they don't talk for very long. Daen still has an amazing ability to send Rai'm into furies, by trying to control her life, read her thoughts (literally), and generally not respect her as an individual.

Known only to the King and to anyone with whom he may have confided, Rai'm briefly spent time masquerading as Princess Rees'n (Anita Kaela Vivian Domanada) of Doma, at the request of the King; however she gratefully left the castle following the birth of a real heir, Elle. She has spent some time traveling around Doma at the suggestion of a friend, funding traveling expenses with mercenary jobs. Not finding the latter to her liking, but enjoying the former, she has been looking into other ways to raise money for travel.

What, with how her mood is always changing, Rai'm has a hard time settling on a philosophy--the nature of Doma City doesn't really help so much, either. However, recently, she has become quite interested in the Gaeran god of justice, Mithra. It is an understandable interest, given his role in her resurrection in 1313.
