"Do not lose sight of why we are here."

Stoic, intelligent, poised and precise, Ailith is a bounty hunter who takes on hazardous errands in order to make a living. Formally a soldier in her region, she abandoned her unit over moral conflicts, though does not regard herself virtuous by any stretch. She is stringent and serious, and conducts herself only as far as she deems practical, though that’s not to say she doesn’t feel anything at all, she’s just incredibly good at compartmentalizing her own feelings from her actions, thus filtering out almost all possibilities of emotionally charged behavior. It is unusual to see her emote - expressions of disappointment, frustration, or disgust are typically stated plainly, rather than conveyed through her face, tone, or body language. She won’t dismiss other’s emotions, she understands the practical use for them, she just has trouble experiencing them the same way most do, and thus may come off as incredibly robotic.

Aelith firmly believes in doing things correctly, making her a swift tactician. She doesn’t enjoy violence, but her personal policy ("do as you must") will always override any doubts she might have about her responsibilities. She will take on the jobs most try to avoid, so long as it falls within her own code of conduct - she has hesitated on the most morally difficult ones, but if one person has to die to prevent the deaths of several others, so be it. In other words, she pulls the lever on the trolley problem.

She is surprisingly patient and understanding for someone who struggles to connect with people on a personal level. There’s a gentle, almost paternal quality to her. Though a competent leader, she prefers working alone - due to her strong and governed presence, she easily becomes a strong influence on others, and she doesn’t want to create dependents. In spite of this, she can’t help but be protective of the few she does hold dear.

SKILL

She was an elite in her squad before she abandoned them, rivaled only by her two former teammates. She’s grown a little weary with time and tear, but she remains near the top of her game. Strong, agile, quick thinking, and extremely difficult to best in a fight, especially hand-to-hand combat.

MECHANICAL APTITUDE

She’s good with cars/wheeled vehicles… she kind of has to be, given how much she travels and especially with how sparse and unforgiving the badlands were. She can’t build vehicles from scratch but she knows how to repair, retrofit and reinforce them. Aesthetics is not a priority though. Her work looks scrappy, but it’s sturdy.

Other skills

eeeeeeeeeeee

Awful Cook

She’s, um… She's doing her best. Her culinary journey has been limited to basic military MREs, not that they’re all awful, but her palette is limited.

Water

She can swim, but not with her metal arm attached, it’s not waterproof plus it’s fairly heavy. With that removed, and lack of experience swimming due to the dry region she normally resides in, she struggles a lot.

APPEARANCE

Expression rarely shifts from what's shown in her ref so she often appears blank

  • Her nickname is Ellie as that was the actual name I gave her for years. (It was also mispelled as Elle for years but shhh)
  • It was with Ailith’s help that River could acquire a properly functioning prosthetic arm for her father, Drift.

  • Her theme is Through the Valley by Shawn James.

Relationships

River, 26 [ girlfriend, partner ]

"I am not familiar with this. But... I would like to understand.” — Elle

Ailith’s bounty hunting partner and girlfriend. An unexpected development, given that River was originally tasked to kill her.

River may present as apathetic but it’s a protective front. In truth, she finds a great sense of richness and wonder in the world around her, which is part of why she set out on her own in the first place. She likes to disguise and immerse herself in the different foods and cultures when she has her downtime. Aelith has never really enabled herself to think this way, she just operated as a machine. One job down, now onto the next… so following River’s approach has been an enhancement, to say the least.

They’re both weary of contact, so they’re not the most physically intimate couple out there, but both allow themselves to be far closer to each other than anyone else. They’re at a “sleep while spooned” level. It will probably never progress much further than that, but they’re both fine with this. (Theme: Simply Falling - IYEOKA)

Drift Hayward, 49 [ River's Father ]

She finds Drift bizarre and a bit neurotic, but well intentioned. River had warned that he’s apprehensive of strangers, but he seems to respond well to Ailith, which is a relief - ironically she gets along better with him than his own daughter does. His care for his River is plain to see but so is their fractured relationship; their interactions are very shorthand and awkward, as much as he tries to reach out to her. Ailith hopes that one day they can mend this.
