Overview

Character (kinda)
Player

Alias(es): Razi
Real Name: not publicly known
Apparent Age: very early 20's
Concept: Masquerade Cleaner/Priest on the Battlefield


Physical description: Razi looks like a shorter, athletically-curvy woman with dark auburn hair and grey eyes. Going on appearance, she's a mix between Spanish, North African/Arabic, and Eastern European. Her accent is decidedly Turkish. Her tastes in clothing seem fairly standard, although she's settled on business casual lately. When traveling to other domains, she's been seen to wear a very loose head-scarf, sometimes with a pair of headphones hidden under the folds.

Appearance: 3

Detailed Status:

(CoH Only: Aspirant Sister of Dragons)


Character Information

Quiet and curious, Razi is almost never without a small notebook and her string of glass prayer beads, which see several dozen turns over the course of any gather night. She is trained as a Rabbi and is willing to speak with whomever needs her services. Likewise, she prefers to listen to the conversation, rather than be the focus of it. When at gathering, she actively tries to be helpful in whatever situation she finds herself in. In less-than-friendly situations, she becomes protective of those around her, doing her best to get non-combatants out of dangerous areas. Lately, however, she's been seen to loosen up at times from her normal overly-polite mannerisms; some are hoping it becomes a permanent change.

Known History

Razi first showed up within the Camarilla many years ago in Istanbul, joining her family members in Prince Mustafa's court and seeking Acknowledgement. She remained there until March of 2011, when she relocated to the Twin Cities to escape the "Arab Spring" discontent. Initially, she was seen mostly with other Children of Haqim, such as Prince Morgan Wynn Howell and clanmates from the Winona and La Crosse domains. Her Probationary sect standing was removed by Justicar Maris Streck in June 2011 after an official visit to Cardiff, and she began working more closely with the other residents on several different matters.

She was named as one of two Lesser Harpies to Alex Randal in early December 2011. On December 30th, she entered into combat with infernalists and their demon masters in St. Cloud with a combined force of Camarillians and Sabbat; she was one of only seven Court residents to make the return trip. Both Harpy Randal and the second of his Lessers, a Nosferatu called Katarina, were both killed in action, making her the only surviving link to the Harpy records.

She was seen hanging on the arm of Alabastor Haroukin, Primogen of Baltimore, at the Midwinters Ball 2012. Presumably as his date for the event.

Quotes

"Why don't you let me drive? My car is much less... noticeable, yes."
-to some clanmates about to go "patrolling" in a bright yellow, pimped-out Hummer

"...wait, so the glittery one used to be Prince?"
-on first learning about then-Archon Zio! during his last visit to the Twin Cities

Mrs. Priscilla Howell: "So Digger, what task did you give the Children of Haqim to do?"
Digger: "Oh... I didn't give them one..."
Priscilla: "Why not?"
Digger: "Well, they're not exactly... um, they don't..."
Razi, smiling: "It's alright Seneschal, you may say whatever is on your mind- I promise I will not be offended."

Berith: "... and that stuff's just the beginning of all the crap we've got to deal with."
Razi: "Things that would require the 'patience of Job.'"
Berith: "Oh, don't get me started on that guy!"

"I thought you were Muslim..."
-several people

"You're Jewish, but you don't act like a Jew. I like you... you know what, I'm going to print you up some pamphlets."
-Sigurd "Bloodhammer" Skraelholm, formerly known as Varg (deceased)

"If we didn't know any better, we'd think she was pursuing her own agenda :)"
-Alex Randal

Rumors

  • She's a seer and an oracle.
  • Eiken only likes her because of her Sire.
  • She doesn't get the whole "all Assamites are Muslim" thing.
    • Had to correct a former Seneschal on the subject and promise him none of her Clan-mates wanted to kill her for her religion or vice-versa.
  • Oh yeah, she's Rishi's kid alright... she just needs something to trigger his kind of crazy.
  • Razi is a "cleaner" for the Assamites of the Twin Cities. She does the wet-work Morgan can't do himself.
  • Considers herself a continual failure, which is why she's so forgiving to everyone around her.
  • Manages to converse very well with many, many different flavors of Kindred: Russian Communists, technologies businessmen, Mexican cartel gang-members, burlesque dancers, ninjas, White-supremacist rioters, deep-South yokels, samurai, hippies, taxidermists, womanizing gambling-addicts, gamers, scholars, survivalists, the British...
  • Is being scouted for a different religion.
  • Recently developed a great dislike of clowns.
  • Turned down the position of Keeper because she didn't want to be exiled from the domain.
  • Is purposefully attempting to undermine her own advancement in the Camarilla.
