Bard

Tamashi Elritz

A wanderer never world-weary. Windborne song of strife and joy.

Neither cruel nor kind, her jade eyes flicked as their sharpened namesake. Habit took your measure. They narrowed, assessment inscrutable but the tune on her lips rang approvingly.

No two bards walked the same path. No two notes were sung the same. The road to Tamashi's Song was a fraught one, one that began in lonesome loss and by tooth, by nail, by bloody palms found its way. Companionship found, a family then lost. A heart shattered. By harsh hands reforged, by bitter parting a path revealed. Note by note, step by step.
Onward and beyond.

"Now, bring me that horizon."

"Still my insatiable self."

Hooks/OOC

Voice on the Wind - From Eorzea to Kugane, from Sharlayan to Radz-at-Han and Tuliyollal, Tamashi could be find plying her bardic trade. Tossed her a coin or three, perhaps? She might have forgotten your face but you won't forget her voice.Peculiar Sense - If you've a sense for Yokai, the little bard would give a nearly faded impression of such. (Roll for more)Itching for a Fight - A glint to her jade eyes, a hunger that was always searching, always yearning for a test. There was no substitute for matching will against a respected rival, but really she'd take any excuse for a good brawl. There's no reason that can't be you. A story behind every scar, every author a part of her tale.Part-time Shopkeeper - Owner and supplier of The Winsome Ruby. The small store serves as business and home both, located in Revenant's Toll. Among many other shops, Tamashi sets the Ruby apart with her personal touch, having collected much of its more unique stock herself. Inquire within.Familiar Frown - If you are an adventurer or have required a low level side quest done in the last ten years on Eorzean soil, there is a non-zero chance you met or worked with a rather rude Xaela conjurer. She carries herself differently these days but a decade of Frowning With Intent doesn't just vanish.Rhalgr's Fist Adjacent - If you frequent Rhalgr's Reach, or any of the developing communities in its vicinity, you may have encountered or seen Tamashi. Whether hard at work seeing to any number of oddjobs or assisting monks in need of eager sparring partners, hers is a Known Face. One braving the harsh countryside may have even caught sight of her makeshift campsites and the Xaela drawing? Writing? Hard to say...Worldly Sailor - Tamashi can often been seen around Kugane, embarking or disembarking from a myriad of vessels, but most frequently a medium sized merchant ship. It is never quite clear what the colorful crew is off-loading or taking on, but they are a spirited bunch. Perhaps you've come across her running errands around Kugane, or killing time in the Rakuza district.

The Winsome Ruby

The Winsome Ruby specializes in foreign imports. Its shelves are lined with teas from Kugane, silks from Thavnair, glittering jewels and spices from Tural, and artistry from everywhere between.

Sharing space among her shelves are an array of curios. Objects blessed and cursed, monstrous materials foul and pristine, and all that fell between. A story for each piece, each note singing a song all its own.

Should her collection fail and your request go unfulfilled, worry not. Inquire further, Tamashi will eagerly seek and adventure on your behalf.

The Ruby doubles as Tamashi's abode, found amongst many others in Revenant's Toll. (Balmung Empyreum, Ward 8 Plot 58)
