The Stranger

Summary

Fear the night. A mask that works in shadows, carrying a blade and never speaking save through battle. Those who stand in its way should often consider themselves thankful it didn't cut through them. The mask itself has golden cracks, reminiscent of the kintsugi style, though its lack of emotion remains.

About

The only obvious thing about this shadowy being, save for its sword and propensity to silence, is that it is a Xaela, given the horns and tail. Besides this, however, it is difficult to tell what is going on with it. It tends to be very formal with how it handles things, not much caring who is in front of it. Its motivations are unclear, and its methods efficient - Whatever needs to be done, it will do it as quickly and quietly as possible.

It carries no allegiances, and swears itself to no one. It seems to dole out respect and contempt arbitrarily, where the only constant is the consistent lack of emotion on the mask.

RP Hooks

The Stranger is, at its foremost, the obvious - A paragon of quiet. Need anything done quickly and quietly, from the theft of an item to the removal of an opponent? Pay the right price, and it'll do it.The Stranger is never seen travelling, either, and reaching it is difficult - Chances are, if you found it, it will carry you with distrust, and if you did find it, it was sent for you.As expected, given that the Stranger's only consistent care is money, it is entirely likely to have some form of misinformation from whoever contracted it. Perhaps you may be able to sway it...Those with strong sense of aether might be able to sense something darker in the woodworks, a second presence, a sickening feeling... (This would need some OOC discussion before we RP this).Anything else! There's a lot to the Stranger, just ask and we can brainstorm ideas!

OOC

My timezone is CET - Though my sleep schedule is somewhat of a disaster.RP in Discord is an option, but I prefer our characters meet in-game first!I'm down for all RP except for ERP or dark RP that has no reason to be there! I'm willing if and only if there's a good reason for it. While the Stranger is an inherently shady being, it does at least try to keep itself safe and uninvolved. And honestly, who the hell would try to have sex with this thing?The character's name is Hiko Malqir, on Mateus. Yes, those who are familiar with me will know that Hiko and the Stranger are one and the same. However, I ask that you don't do any metagaming when it comes to recognizing one as the other. I've made sure to do my research on how she keeps herself hidden - I ask that you respect that. Chances are I'll just rebuke you if you try to metagame it anyway.
