Lilley Name: LilleyHeritage (Gift): Human (Ingenious Focus)Culture: CosmopolitanClasses (Subclasses): Artificer (Scrap Crafter)Background: TraderDestiny: KnowledgeDeity: Mechanus, the God of Machines and TechnologyConnection: Qef Colsan - a bounty hunter hired by Masud to track down and return Lilley to the Lower World. He has an investment in the girl and he is not going to just let it go. Qef and Lilley have never met, and indeed Lilley does not even have any indication of his existence. However Qef has followed her with the same single-minded determination that she possesses, and little does she realise that he knows more about her than anyone save herself. Qef is inexorable in his pursuit -- he will not give up until she is in his grasp.Memento: A strand of Anjelica's hair that she keeps inside a locket around her neck. It is the only connection she has to the life she had before and losing it would sever the last strands of sanity she has left.Description: There are two striking features that leap out about Lilley. The first is her piercing blue-green eyes. Eyes set on features that would otherwise be attractive.....were it not for the fact that she looks at you in the same kind of way that one would look at a small flying creature that they were about to dissect. Lilley lacks warmth in her expression and her bearing, and this is something that becomes perfectly evident when she opens her mouth and speaks. Lilley's voice is dispassionate and emotionless. She speaks with as few words as possible, and when she does it is with a clear and concise precision.Backstory: One night, in a refuse strewn tunnel found somewhere in a nameless slum in the Lower World, the proprietor of a boarding house of particularly ill-repute, one Masud Radu, found an abandoned babe in swaddling cloth. On that day, an act of extraordinary selflessness and nobleness occurred. Where most would have been tempted to sell the human foundling into slavery — the price of a human child indeed attracting a large price, Masud did not. Instead he set about raising the girl as if she was his own, for reasons he kept to himself. Over the years, Masud watched the girl grow, and he watched keenly as she began to exhibit the sort of intellect that was beyond most people that he had met over the years. Young Lilley was fascinated by technology. There was nary a day that went by that she could not be found tinkering with the scrap metal she would often pick up from the streets or experimenting in some way — be it dead animals or live ones. She was a strange child, strange in ways that both fascinated and disturbed Masud. Indeed Masud found himself often wondering who she truly was, almost as often as he feared the path she seemed to be walking. There was a coldness about her, a strangely emotionless detachment from reality. Masud began to wonder if there were dark places and things inside the girl, a darkness that she was capable of that she had not yet displayed. Her detachment from life and the way she experimented on her pets certainly indicated to him that she held little value or regard for living creatures. Still, the girl earned her keep and Masud had no real cause to regret taking her in. And things were good, for a time at least.What are you doing? That red cloud, its real right? It has been a long time since Lilley could distinguish between what was real and what was not. Regardless, she has convinced herself that this red cloud is the answer to all her problems. With it she will be able to return the dead to life, and her own shattered mind and self will be whole again. She is currently in the process of trying to see if there is anything at all that she can research and learn about it.The surname of a fancy/influential family (can be repeated) : The Dustguard Family
