Background:
Rilka learned how to take apart and disarm traps even before she could walk. It was partly a means of sowing seeds of the family business into her impressionable mind and partly her grandfather’s attempt to train the greatest escape artist in Andril.
Rilka’s father, Miro, started Twin Pine Consulting about ten years before she was born. By the time she reached her adolescence the company was fairly successful in dealing with security matters for some of Andril’s wealthiest families as well as the Andril army. She began helping her parents’ training sessions, mostly assembling and disassembling the traps and props used for demonstration. In time she became an on stage assistant, mostly showcasing what not to do. By her late teens, after two years of solo teaching the basics of trap detection and dismantling to soldiers, Rilka realized her favorite times were spent talking with the Aestherics, special soldiers given really difficult missions often behind enemy lines. She wanted to join them, so she talked to her parents. Her parents forbade her to join the army. They didn’t see any point for her to do that. The money from their consulting work was decent. They were not wealthy, but they were “secure in security,” as her mother liked to say. Her grandfather still hoped she would perform on stage doing spectacular escapes from dangerous devices. Since Rilka was still a minor she knew she couldn’t join the army anyway. She secretly talked to Drosil, one of the five leaders of the Aestherics, about wanting to join. He encouraged her to learn what she could from her parents and take advantage of any educational opportunities that she could. When she came of age, if she was still interested, he’d help her navigate the bureaucracy of the military to try out for the Aestherics. In her off time she began to study alchemy, taking to the theory and application of formulae with acumen. She also learned Elven and Draconic. At 21 years old, Rilka joined the army. Her skills in alchemy, plus her highly developed skills in trap detection and removal, allowed her an attempt to join the Aestherics. For a month she performed physical and mental exercises that simulated combat and the difficulties faced on a mission. She passed and was taken under the command of Drosil. Her parents were proud of her, but also disappointed she was not going to be part of the family business. Three years later she still loves the Aesterhics lifestyle. She’s earned various nicknames from her peers: Sooty, Rabbit, Frozen Nose, Barrel, and Jolly Fingers Background NPCs:
Rilka’s cousin, Gobus Fingertoes is a young officer in Andril’s city guard. He commands a few underlings. He makes extra money by smuggling, extortion, burglary, and assassination. Rilka has no idea about such activities. He’s five or six years older than Rilka. When they were younger he’d torment her and their other cousins. She considers him cruel and vindictive. Only sees him at family gatherings if he bothers to show up. Avoids talking to him. They competed in the halfing New Year tower climb once. He won.
One of Rilka’s ancestors from six generations ago made a pact with a devil. As she lied on the battlefield, slowly dying as the crows and jackals gorged on the dead, she prayed to all the gods she knew. A devil was the first one to answer her pleas. She agreed to the devil's price for survival: [UNKNOWN at the moment]. Now the current generation needs to pay what is owed. [Probably nobody in her family is aware of this event]. Leddipaug Saltworth: Rilka’s girlfriend (not fiancee). Professional bookbinder (family trade). Specializes in “Halfling-binding” (Coptic binding) and fancy “braided” binding. She met Rilka during a game of kemari. Appearance and Personality:
Appearance: A robe of sky blue and light gray stripes. An ivory and violet veil in a paisley pattern that wraps around her head and neck. Backpack, pouches, short sword, and sling staff. Personality: She enjoys challenges such as breaking into places, testing security measures, and generally going where she shouldn’t. Mostly this is curiosity. She is very curious about the world, the way things work, and the way people behave. She doesn’t have any interest in stealing others’ personal property. She knows it’s wrong. She also knows she could steal it and get away with it, so what’s the point if there’s little challenge? Rilka is competitive with her teammates, not merely in general trivia knowledge but also in areas where her average strength doesn’t give her an advantage such as wall climbing, running, swimming, and exercises like push-ups. Rilka often will view combat as the option of last resort. A perfect mission to her involves sneaking into a facility, getting the information they need, and sneaking out without anyone detecting them. Her preferred weapon is the halfling sling staff, though she has no problem stabbing an enemy with a dagger or short sword. Character Relations:
