Cusisme, Death-In-Autumn
Cusisme E Rubric (a.k.a. Death-in-Autumn)
Infusions: leaves
Spy, assassin, and soldier-for-hire, Cusisme is a notorious agent of duplicity and chaos from The Learned Canyons.
Slayer of villains, undoer of conspiracies, feared by tyrants, Cusisme's exploits are the stuff of legends, when they can be attributed to her at all.
Questions: Think about festil "raumspranger" norms, and possibly rethink Cusisme travelling to Dow? Tie the "e" naming convention into where they come from - an edesenkol convention?
Physical Description
Body Features
short and round, cool brown skin (the most muted shade of autumn foliage) that is dappled as if with the shade of leaves.
Facial Features
narrow eyes and button nose with a silver piercing on one side. gnarly scar on the left of her upper lip.
Special abilities
Powers: turn into a spiralling cloud of leaves which can fly, evade damage, and fit through small gaps.
Abilities: skilled fighter (uses a super-light claymore with sharpened quillons), very good at persuasion. For her combat, uses conversation/arguments as metaphor, and have a fighting style that emphasizes reach, leverage, speed and control over raw power (probably involves half-swording). it also incorporates a lot of cutting arm and leg tendons, "working your way in".
Apparel & Accessories
carries giant Dowo Claymore that was later lightened by a Blueflame mage. this is possibly a replacement for her original.
Mental characteristics
Personal history
History:
- From The learned canyons - Cusisme E Rubric, because she's from Rubric
- Family is generations in the area, originally of the Festil tribe in The Srem, with Edesenkol names and worshipping the Unathyr faith – though not particularly devout.
- Father was a food importer, comfortable enough, and the family was well-read as all families in the canyons are.
- Father has since fallen on hard times, ruined by a business rival, and needs financial support from daughters – possibly living in Rhythonze with Sespedel now.
- became a successful Retriever, collecting the far end of Paired Pages from various locations. she was among the best, and was sent on one of the biggest retrievals ever: she travelled to Ukcho in Dow. that job went sideways, and she gained a leaf infusion while hiding in a pile of leaves (her leg was broken by being trodden on by her pursuer's mount). while she recovered, she trained with the Leafdancers. "she discovered a knack, alongside lying and spying, of dealing death". no longer able to work in the Paired Page industry, she branches out into more general adventuring.
- Met Mosslow Banetail & The Braided Band, as well as Tasmis, in some sort of nautical hijinks, and a few months/ a year joins up with them in time for the Pewter Prince story. It doesn't last, though the terms are amicable enough.
Morality & Philosophy
Cusisme often employs morally dubious tactics, but her ethics (driven into her by her living both with wealth and without) is to aid the common person, and though she often takes mercenary work to fund her lifestyle, she will only take jobs that she believes aren't actively evil, and spends a lot of her time working for free on causes that just take her fancy.
Cusisme's issue isn't that she treats combat as conversation, but that she treats conversation as something to win
Personality Characteristics
Likes & Dislikes
A big fan of food – especially the Edesenkol, Unathyric and sremic food that she grew up with, but all flavoursome food. indeed, she loves luxury and comfort, and as such hates many of the deprivations of the adventuring life - cold, bad smells, hard floors.
