Personality
Past: Chaotic Neutral or True Neutral
Vluharqih has two distinct personalities, however they are both underlain by several defining characteristics. First, she is callous. No matter her form, she has little empathy towards others, and has great difficulty making healthy, long term relationships. She can often fool people into believing she cares, however the facade breaks down after extended periods of time together. This wall has slowly been breaking down with her close interaction with Mr.Gardener over the seasons she's lived in one place.
She also has a very peculiar sense of honour. Once she accepts a job she will see it through no matter the cost, but she dislikes killing innocents.
She is very crafty, and feels most alive when she is fooling someone. Her enjoyment of convincing someone of something has often created unnecessary complications. She disdains open combat, and has very little skill with the bow. Her preferred method of killing is a small dagger, or poison. She views anyone who gets involved in a fight as clumsy and bull headed.
She has felt lost since Alfred and Joanna were arrested, and deals with this by travelling from city to city. She has avoided long term connections, and looks forward to being in new places. She doesn't have a great interest in hoarding gold, and any that she earns is quickly spent on supplies, repairs, or purchasing better equipment. Her main motivation is to achieve perfection in her field, and she relentlessly pushes herself to improve. She believes that only the strong survive, which drives the desire to be perfect. In her jobs, she is slow, calculating and methodical. She will plan for weeks, ensuring everything will go as planned.
Vluharqih has a burning curiosity and attraction to the Hyx, quite out of character for her. She often seeks them out, and has read several books about their habitats and patterns. She has caught a glimpse of one, a long time ago, and the image of its sleek body rushing across the horizon has stayed with her since.
While she is Alex, Vluharqih is cheerful, elegant and polite. She uses this form to attend large galas or parties without raising suspicions, and is her standard day-to-day form. She has crafted a background with Alex, and has used it to gain access to smaller parties with great success. It is also her default travelling form, as travelling as a Avriel raises unnecessary suspicions.
While she is Avriel, she is more impulsive and relies heavily on her instinct to get her through the jobs. She only uses this form while completing a job, needs to keep her Alex form safe from attention, or when it is absolutely required. Most of her acrobatics and knife fighting that she's learned has taken place while she is Valyeria.
Arival in Etzos to her Undercover Mission: Chaotic Evil to Chaotic Neutral
In the beginning, Vluh carried herself around in a hard shell, not trusting easily, and with little regard for human life. She has become more introspective but has ultimately decided that life has very low value, save to the person who it belongs to.
Anything goes.
She doesn't have any issues with playing a role, be that kind, cheerful, moody, or talkative. Most will find it difficult to truely predict her actions, including Vluharqih herself.
As time went on, Vluh began to make friends and acquaintances. Mr Gardener, her mentor, as well as reconnecting with her Father. But primarily, it was the action of Nightshade Eld who broke through Vluh's shell by discovering her true identity and not caring. Vluh has now begun to make true connections with others and is seeing a world outside of her immediate desires.
History
Her family life was difficult growing up. She was born to Ashley and Warren Crossen during a cold Vhalar night. Her mother was an apothecary, and ran her own store. As soon as Vluharqih could walk, she was assisting her mother in the shop. She began with sweeping and dusting, but soon her mother had her assisting in preparing various remedies. Often, strange people would enter, with a red armband, but her mother never let her assist them. She would take them into the back room, and reappear several minutes later. Her father never spoke of what he did, and asking him would provoke violent outbursts. She learned early on to avoid certain topics; his work, their extended family, and the strange people with armbands.
From a young age, she was knew what she was, and she learned Yludih well before she was fluent in Common. She quickly mastered the ability to switch between Human and Avriel, as her parents pushed her to perfection. They would have Vluharqih practice sneaking up on them, or have her steal food from the stand, which they would then pay for. Her favourite games involved tricking others into believing her lies. She never had any malice, but the thrill of convincing someone of something innocuous was one that got her heart racing every time. However, despite all their training, they never taught her Lorien, which drastically inhibits her ability to use Valyeria.
One night, when she was only 12, she awoke in the night to her parents loudly talking. She crept to the stairs, and listened as they fought. She soon realized that they were debating turning on their Yludih network, and selling them out. Her mother was arguing that they should turn into decent citizens, and the reward for turning in several criminals in the network was large enough to start over somewhere new. Warren disagreed, and the two began to argue in earnest. As she realized this, she decided that she didn't want to hear any more, but a commotion below froze her in her tracks. The silence after the crash was chilling, and was only broken by the gut wrenching sobs she heard coming out of her father. She peered around the corner to see her father kneeling above the bloody body of her mother, a blood-spattered pan lying in the dirt beside him.
That was the last thing she remembers before waking up several weeks later in a bed. She awoke in the house of a young human couple, Alfred and Joanna, who had found her body on their front door. She was in a different city, with no recollection of how she had got there, but when she revealed her father's name they were shocked. They belonged to the same network as her parents, however their parents had gone missing several weeks prior. During the course of their conversation, the couple accidentally let on that her parents were part of a small criminal network. She kept her face still, as she processed the new information. They blathered on, not realizing that they had unwittingly revealed her parent's biggest secret. The couple told her that she could stay, however she would need to contribute to the house. Their method of contribution involved stealing and murder, using their ability to shape shift as a license to commit crimes. They started her out with cat burglary, however it soon progressed well beyond that. Vluharqih had no moral issues with this- a part of her seemed dead inside since she saw her father above her mother's body. She was cold inside, and very rarely felt emotion, however she learned to excel at faking it. Alfred took advantage of this and soon had her committing gang assassinations. It was about this point when she realized her parent's obsession with the Avriel form; the wings provide a perfect escape, and if she were seen, the population would blame Athart, not even realizing that she was in their midst.
On her 15th birthday, she came home to see law enforcement taking Alfred and Joanna away. She stood in the cold alley, watching, and doing nothing as they were loaded up and carted off. After they had left, she crept back inside and packed up her stuff, before making a beeline for the gates.
She has been living as a mercenary since then, and travels from city to city in Western Idalos. In her last city, she got so caught up in spinning fantastical tales to the merchant's guard that she didn't notice the merchant call for the City Guard until it was too late. She delivered the item to her buyer, but the commotion had resulted in forfeiting her bonus. She was forced to sell some of her supplies in order to organize safe passage out of the city.
