Black gloves and boots, all the above sturdy, hard-wearing but not new.[/list] [color=00AEEF][sub][b]C A P A B I L I T I E S[/b][/sub][/color] [list][b]Fighter[/b]: Although a quiet and seemingly shy individual; Akaeyla is martially trained to paramilitary level in unarmed combat. Rather than sticking to a specific discipline, she takes what works for her from existing disciplines, improvising and personalising it as she goes. This makes her more a mixed-martial artist than a soldier, though she has a similar level of discipline. This coupled with a dainty-seeming, but lithe and agile build make her dangerous in close combat. [b]Aerial Acrobat[/b]: Akaeyla is fully flight-capable and takes full advantage of this- it doesn't matter if an opponent has the high ground if you control the air.This natural ability gives her the freedom to travel further and for longer than would be possible on foot and makes her one of a handful of people who [i]can[/i] fly over The Fall without plunging into it. Useful for travelling distances, weaving through treetops and skewing the odds in a fight, it makes wilderness survival that bit easier for her than for many another. [b]Survivor[/b]: For some time Akaeyla has been living in The Fall after the manner of a yamabushi-styled hermit. As such, she has learned to live off the land, to know how to be self-sufficent, and which places and creatures in The Fall are best avoided. Preferring to avoid people, Akaeyla can nevertheless be courteous and even charming... though her apparent shyness can, to her embarrassment, make others think her cute or even adorable. Though she has yet to plumb by far the greater portion of the mysteries of The Fall, with every day that passes, she learns that bit more. All that being said, whilst she can survive the most spartan of lifestyles, Akaeyla is far from averse to creature comforts and prepared to make the most of them if offered the opportunity and an excuse to do so. Of particular note perhaps, is that she is skilled with needle and thread to the point she could easily make a living as a professional tailor and makes all her clothing herself... making her choice of lifestyle as a hermit the more peculiar.[/list]
