About Iuni Seastrider

Background: Iuni has been part of the thieves guild in Port Peril for as long as she can remember. Her first memories were of living on the street with other orphans scrounging for necessities in and around the city. Then the thieves guild came - an entourage of vagabonds whose goal was to alleviate the pirates of their excess wealth and give to the poor. The leader of the thieves guild is a keleshite ex-sailor named Aakif, who lost his job for assisting stow aways trying to reach Sargava. The stow aways were discovered about halfway through the Shackles and were unceremoniously kicked off the ship at Port Peril (including Aakif). Aakif vowed to make a better life for the stow aways, and so they formed the thieves guild. They shortly after began a practice of taking in and raising orphans, which earned them the nickname "The Family." Iuni was one such orphan. As Iuni grew up, Aakif taught her(as well as the other orphans) how to be both thieves and sailors. Several ships have gone missing over the years as a result of that training - Iuni cuts the anchor to the ship, and the thieves sail off with the vessel to their hideout south of the port.

Appearance: Iuni's demonic heritage is obvious, but not as extreme as many other tieflings. Her demonic features include a pair of vestigial horns growing from her forehead, large reptilian eyes with a vibrant gold hue, pointed ears, and a demonic tail. Her frame is like that of a half-elf, although only reaching a height of 5'5" and weighing in at 119 lbs. Her skin color is typical of a Chelaxian, although oddly smooth and hairless. Her face and frame give her a deceptive air of innocence that even her muted demonic features do little to suppress. Her fingernails and toenails are as onyx black as the horns growing on her head. Iuni's hair is also black, but that is more out of coincidence than anything to do with her demonic blood.

Personality: Iuni has a strong chaotic streak when it comes to rules and law, although not maliciously so like her demonic ancestors. Her general stance on the law is "pretend it doesn't exist unless it manages to nip me on the tail." Her demonic sense of self-preservation is counteracted by a sympathy garnered from watching and living in the suffering of others. If she did ever have an evil bone left in her body after that, her swashbuckling foster father Aakif managed to take out the rest. Iuni has an almost unnatural obsession with shiny trinkets. When not on duty, she can be found polishing, organizing, stacking, and otherwise playing with something (or some group of things) that are shiny enough to get her attention. Giving up treasure to her comrades generates a combination of happiness and sadness in her... which only fuels her to go out and find more shiny objects, and thus the cycle of "happy frustration" continues.
Iuni was always mesmerized by the way her father Aakif could talk to people and make them smile. As a result, Iuni has chosen to fight against a destiny of social awkwardness, to which she has attained a partial victory. Iuni quickly shies away from combat involving direct confrontations, although not to the point where she will leave a companion behind. If she is fighting alone, she will attempt to flee and hide. Failing that, she will use every dirty trick in the book to survive.

Trait Description:
1) Eye for Plunder: Iuni's time in the thieves guild has given her a knack for determining the value of items and where to look in order to find others precious valuables. She has a +1 trait bonus on Appraise checks, and a +1 bonus on Perception checks to find concealed or hidden objects (as well as doors and traps). She starts out with 50 gp of mundane trade goods which she acquired on her first day aboard the Wormwood.
2) River Rat (Ship thief): After the thieves would sneak on board a vessel, it was Iuni's job to cut the anchor so they could sail off into the sunset with their prize (or, more accurately, into the moonlight). She receives a +1 trait bonus on Swim checks and she receives a +1 bonus to damage with daggers.

How Iuni ends up on the Wormwood: Iuni just completed her third ship heist involving cutting the anchor to a small pirate vessel and was on her way back to the hideout when she had an unfortunate run-in with a press gang that was down on its luck. Thinking it was better to come back with something that has pointy things growing out of its head than nothing, they went after her. She was chased into an ally on the other side of the Formidably Maid, where she was knocked unconscious and then dragged to the ship.
