<div class="floatright">(https://artfiles.alphacoders.com/473/47350.jpg)</div><br/>Last minute tag that I've been discussing with TSB elsewhere as a possible frontliner:<br/><br/>Aaleyah (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1550742), and<br/><br/>Aaleyah as an Eidolon (https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1550777) since it's easier to keep two sheets than work out all of the stat changes when her entire set of physical stats gets temporarily replaced (I do the same thing with Alchemists, honestly. It's just easier.).<br/><br/>I think I got most everything sorted out, but by all means drop me a note if something's screwy. I haven't played a synthesist before.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Background</div><div class="spoiler_body">While House Orlovsky may have a reputation for avoiding conflicts, it's sometimes difficult to avoid internal struggle, particularly when it comes to the offspring of wayward scions. When said offspring is clearly the product of an illegitimate affair with a Jann, the conflict is apt to be quiet where outsiders are concerned, but intense within the immediate family. Bastards (male or female) will be bastards, but even so, a certain amount of decorum is expected.<br/><br/>The upshot of Aaleyah's birth and subsequent handing-off to her father when he arrived to see his offspring is that she's not considered anything to do with the lineage (after all, her mother, a younger daughter of a by-blow of one of the Orlovsky boys, wouldn't truly qualify, either). Her father found raising her difficult (children don't come with manuals, hybrid children with elemental lineages don't even come with good advice from the neighbors), and cut a deal with a human couple trying to scratch a living out of a stony mountainside. They raised his daughter until she could fend for herself, and he cleared rock for fertile dirt and ensured that it stayed that way in perpetuity. <br/><br/>Aaleyah has met and knows her Jann father (who goes by Abbas) but finds herself far more attached to her human foster-father and mother. Unfortunately, the older she grew, the stranger she grew, manifesting powers which were as difficult to hide as they were to explain. When the other farming folk of the region took matters into their own hands and killed her foster-father, she hugged her foster-mother goodbye and hit the road. Aaleyah has since left the vicinity of Stoneclimb and wandered southward, making her way as an adventuress, since there aren't many other paths open to a young woman who occasionally transforms into a stone-and-crystal gryphon-thing. <br/><br/>The opening of expeditions into the Stolen Lands has drawn her further southward, in search of companions and opportunities.</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Personality</div><div class="spoiler_body">Aaleyah is something of an optimist, and suffers the unfortunate combination of wanting to trust everyone and being too easily hurt. Her upbringing was hopelessly provincial, and while she can talk at length about farming, and (surprisingly) about the noble bloodlines of northeast Brevoy, otherwise she seems a touch unworldly...In all senses of the word.</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Description</div><div class="spoiler_body">A short, slender waif of a young woman with earth-toned skin and eyes and hair that are inhumanly emerald, Aaleyah is hard put to convince anyone that she's anything other than what she looks like: some kind of strange, magical crossbreed. In this case, one of the Suli, although they are uncommon in these lands.</div></div>
