Overview

Vague character reference... player pic to come soon!

Alias(es): Razi

Real Name: Nice try...

Apparent Age: very early 20's

Concept: Keeper of the Masquerade/Priest on the Battlefield

Physical description: Razi looks like a shorter, athletically-curvy woman with dark auburn hair and grey eyes. Her style is more towards demure, but still cosmopolitan.

Appearance: 3 (Magnetic x3)

Detailed Status:

• Acknowledged by Prince Mustafa of Istanbul, Turkey
  

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. When such has come up in conversation, she states she is trained as a Rabba and is willing to speak with whomever needs her services. However, she prefers to listen to the conversation than be the focus of it.

Known History

Razi moved to the Twin Cities a couple months ago from Istanbul. She has been seen mostly in the company of other Children of Haqim, notably Prince Morgan Wynn Howell, Prince Saif Al Din of La Crosse, Felix Alabastor, and Samuel Draco. When at gathering, she actively tries to be helpful in whatever situation she finds herself in- be it finding a Primogen for a visitor, helping calm down a scared ghoul, pointing out interesting news articles worth checking out, or providing information on topics of discussion. In less-than-friendly situations, she acts protective of those around her, doing her best to get non-combatants out of dangerous areas and end confrontations as quickly and amicably as possible.
