Description
//Character Information
×Name:Samira Khan
×Nickname: Sammy
×Race: Human
×Age: 25
×D.O.B.: February 11th
×Height: 170 cm // 5'7
×Gender: Female
×Sexual Orientation: Bisexual
×Faction: Caelius
×Theme Songs: Chris Cornell - You know my name
Blur - Song 2
×Scent: Jasmine fragance
×Residence: Samira rents two small rooms: one in Nadim-Huan and one in Merka. However, she can be hardly ever found there and not many people know the adress.

×Occupation: Assassin & Thief: when she's not in military duty, Samira's job include stealing and murdering. However, she's not a complete outlaw in Caelius: she only accepts killing people of the enemy factions or corrupt merchants such as slave dealers.
Robbing doesn't exactly clash against her concept of justice. When it comes to stealing, there is no difference of factions for her: after all, she thinks that material things are replaceable (even more if the victim of theft is wealthy), thus stealing one or two worthy amulets, pieces of art, statuettes or treasures is not a big deal. Nevertheless, she tries to keep such crimes in Caelius at a minimum in order to keep her record as clean as possible.
×Personality:If you've ever met a very capricious teenager, then you already have a good idea of Samira's personality. She has the emotional intelligence of a little girl; for instance, she can go from hating you to loving you in a matter of seconds. That is why her actions are usually driven by passionate feelings and it's not unusual that words sprout from her mouth without being previously filtered by common sense or good manners. When she's not doing her job, she mostly behaves immaturely and chases nothing but immediate pleasure of any kind.
Depending on her mood, she can be quite friendly. Moreover, Samira is very outgoing during her spare time: becoming acquainted with new people is always an amusing activity and it's not less important for her job since her reputation is spread by word of mouth. In any kind of party or social meeting, you can bet that she will be the centre of attention.
On the contrary, her personality experiments a complete turnabout while she is working or in a military mission. A shady air and a sour attitude take over her when her mind is solely focused in an objective. This is probably what makes her a skilful fighter and an astute killer. Speaking of murdering, she has long lost the regret for taking anyone else's life. What is more, the value of life has become a very relative idea for her: being completely aware of the magnitude of the war, she convinced herself that she will most likely not survive, hence dying is just a matter of time. Not being afraid of the imminent death in the battlefield makes her a reckless soldier to such a point that some would call her brave while others would describe her as stupid. In spite of her shrewdness, sometimes her natural impulsiveness leaks causing her to end up in dangerous situations that could be easily avoided with a bit of cold thinking.
Love is a feeling that hasn't struck her for more than seven years now, hence it almost part of oblivion. Since she left her her family, Samira has led a life of promiscuity where sentimental attachment was almost non-existent.
"Curiosity killed the cat" is certainly a saying that Samira hasn't heard of. Her overly inquisitive nature has put her in danger more than once but she's still seduced by the thrill of unveiling a mystery or finding answers to any matter that lacks of an explanation. Although, it's important to remark that her curiosity has nothing to do with theoretical knowledge; that is, she is not interested at all at comprehending the secrets behind magic or, in general, anything that implies reading books.
Last but not least, Samira is extremely vengeful. In fact, she joined the army in order to take revenge of what the Areans did to her beloved ones. But her desire of vendetta is not limited to Areans: it will reach anyone who messes with her in one way or another.

×Bio:Before enrolling in the army

Childhood and early adolescence were, without any doubt, the most blissful periods of Samira’s life. She was born into a humble family of farmers in the outskirts of Falenshire, a small town located in Tsutani-Forest, Earthra. Since her early years of life, the little Samira was full of energy and an insatiable curiosity: when she wasn’t playing with other kids, she would follow her father everywhere in order to learn all that involved the rural chores. Soon enough, the girl became a very cooperative helper, always ready to do any job that kept her in motion. Needless to say that passive activities such as reading or studying at school ended up being loathsome, hence skipping classes soon became a part of her routine.

A peaceful life in the farm would have awaited her if it hadn’t been by the return of Caelius and Ares to Zion. During a quiet night of summer, an Arean battalion disembarked on the island as part of a surprise assault, destroying everything in its path. Although the Arean forces weren’t numerous, they were strong enough to overcome the few defences of Falenshire, leaving behind nothing but death, agony and despair. Fortunately, Samira and her family were able to escape but not without witnessing how their beloved ones were mercilessly slaughtered and how their farm was plundered and burnt to ashes. The war no longer sounded distant; on the contrary, it was now part of their reality.

Samira’s family disembarked on Tahir, were they were received as war refugees. But grief was far from disappearing: as they had almost nothing at their arrival to Caelius, a life in complete misery awaited them. Not even a month after their disembarkation on the Caelian territory, Alina, Samira’s elder sister, left to Ziaray in order to pursue a brighter future and hopefully find a way to help her family. Her parents used the little money they had to pay her the trip and didn’t see her again until many months later. During the following years, Samira, her twin brothers and her parents lived in indigence, surviving thanks to the help of charity of their new friends, Caelian churches and temples. With every day that went by, resentment towards Ares grew stronger and stronger in Samira and grudge soon planted the seed of hatred and revenge in her.

Fortunately, two years later, her father’s friends collected some money to buy him a little farm in Benigna so his family and he could start over their lives. The Khan family’s gratitude could not be described with words: they had a second chance in a new land, far away from those who stole everything from them. However, by that time, revenge had become almost an obsession for Samira. She couldn’t focus on the chores, on grouping the flock of sheep or on collecting the crop: the images of her friends being slain right before her eyes assaulted her every single night. In next to no time, the farm became nothing less than a prison. Thus, one evening, she escaped from her parent’s farm and she never returned.

During the following six months, Samira worked as a waitress in a tavern at a town in Soara where meeting assassins and thieves was part of the everyday life. This is what influenced her to travel to Feller-Road: the life of a bandit sounded way more exciting than a waitress’, and making money seemed much easier. However, there was no place in the land of bandits for an inexperienced young female robber: different guilds of thieves already disputed the control of the territory. One day she was caught by the leader of one of those brotherhoods; her name was Lessiel Sorrowsong, also known as the Black Widow, an elf that had made her way up in the ranks of the criminal guild until making it her own.

Although the custom was killing the insignificant rats that attempted to rob in her territory, Lessiel decided to let the intruder live in exchange of her pledge to the guild. Although Samira didn’t really have a choice, she accepted her fate willingly for becoming a bandit was the goal of her trip to those lands. Learning how to steal, fight and murder properly kept her mind busy during the first two years of her stay among the thieves. Developing her skills quickly allowed her to climb up ranks in the guild until becoming Lessiel’s right-hand person; and from that moment on, Lessiel herself taught Samira everything she knew… not only in the field of their immoral profession. Rumor had it that the Black Widow had some sort of a love affair with her second in command; Lessiel never bothered to deny it for she thought that it would only make the situation worse, but you know the popular saying: silence gives consent. So in order to not risk their reputations anymore, Samira agreed to leave Feller-Road and not to return for a long time, thus setting out a journey to the North.

The solitude of travelling and working alone brought back the memories of the most sorrowful years of her life, thus the violent desire of revenge woke up of its hibernation. Journeying allowed her to listen to many people’s stories that were similar to hers. Soon, she understood that there wouldn’t be peace on Zion as long as the Areans remained unpunished. And as ironically as it sounds, she felt the need to bring to justice and punish those who caused so much grieve. She began to offer her services as a hired killer to those who sought revenge for their fallen beloved ones and her reputation quickly spread: due to her efficiency and her low fees, it almost seemed as if she would be doing it for pleasure.

However, that job wasn’t enough: her thirst of vendetta was far from being satisfied. As time went by, the need of helping in the frontlines began to grow in her: she wanted to make a real difference in favour of justice. This is how she adopted the Caelian faction as her own, taking a loyalty oath to its Goddess. Samira enrolled in the army a little more than a year ago and since then her commitment to the Caelian nation has only become stronger.

After enrolling in the army

Thanks to her trips and her job, but also because of war, Samira’s acquaintances list grew longer and longer. She was able to share uncountable adventures and experiences with individuals of every faction and some were so influential that made her consider a tiny number of Areans as respectable rivals rather than heartless beasts and made her think of Earthrans as potential allies instead of purposeless enemies.
However, the happenings of war only contributed to intensify her violence and recklessness. It’s also worth of mentioning that war wasn’t the only cause for that gradual change in her way of being. After living a couple of particular situations with a certain incubus, her mind entered in a state of confusion and contradiction that caused nothing but frustration and self-loathing.
In spite of her inner fight with herself, nowadays she keeps on going into battle not only against the main enemy of Caelius but also against the recently arose Order.

×Random facts:
• Is left-handed
• Gets drunk every time she completes an important job or succeeds at a military mission. Even more, in those occasions, she also buys everyone in the tavern a drink.
• Has an irrational love for cherries
• Loves riding and is actually pretty good at it
• Roses make her nostalgic
• Given the right conditions, some aspects of her personality prior to the war (such as a latent submission or extreme-girly behaviour) can be witnessed.
• Her favourite colour is blue.
• Is terrible with maps: it's not unusual that she ends up lost due to her lack of interpretation of them

//Fighting style

×Weapons and Armor: As every rogue, Samira is a melee fighter. As her movements demand a lot of mobility, she mostly uses daggers as primary weapons and two light twin swords as a secondary choice. She also carries throwing knives in order to either initiate an attack from a middle distance or to hinder a chaser when she escapes. Most of her armor consists of leather for it grants a reliable protection and it isn't very heavy.
While working as an assassin, she exclusively carries two poniards, some throwing knives and smoke bombs. In these situations, her outfit is solely made of cloth, letting her take the most of her agility.
×Abilities:Overall abilities:
Increased Stamina [Passive]: after many years of training, running, jumping and climbing, Samira has acquaired more stamina than an average human. This allows her to perform more physical activity before getting exhausted.

Running on heels [OP passive]: she can run, climb to walls and jump wearing high-heeled shoes!
Battle stance:
Thrill of the kill [Passive]: the adrenaline of fighting rises with every foe that falls: after killing three enemies, her attack speed and movement speed increase slightly.

Bloodthirst [Active]: her attack speed increases and her defence decreases accordingly. Samira adopts a fully-offensive fighting tactic that focus on dealing as much damage as possible; however, she neglects defense to such a point that she can be dangerously wounded. Besides, this skill consumes a considerable amount of energy.

Assassination stance:
Stealth [Passive]: while stalking a victim, her movement speed decreases in order to not be perceived.

Back stab [Active] [only for strict NPCs such as guards, for instance]: Samira backstabs the victim, causing them a serious wound if not immediate death. However, this obviously exposes her, disabling her stealth for a couple of minutes.

×Style: As you can see, I really enjoy writing So I usually prefer the semi-literate style of roleplaying. Of course, I don't mind the literate/advanced style, but that means more time between replies. If possible, I prefer to have a plot in mind before the RP begins; and if you and me can work it out together, better! 8D

×Topic: I like roleplaying any kind of situation as long as we keep it real, so the plot of the RP can have pretty much anything: adventure, action, smut, violence, chill conversations, ponies, battles... whatever you want, I'm in. except for tickling RPs or weird stuff like that lol

×Mean of RPing: I really prefer dA notes or Google Docs; but I have no problem at all with RPing through Skype.

×Help me improve!: As English is not my native language, it's highly possible that I make several mistakes; so if you see that I make one over and over again, please don't hesitate to tell me! Improving my English is very important to me, so I'd be very grateful
