Owner of The Axe & Shield
Lieutenant in the WG
This Page has been marked as a Character Profile.

Basics

Age: Believed to be around 30 turns. Although mature for her age, her juvenile naiveté often shows.
Race: As far as she knows, she is a halfling from the Darkfoot clan.
Class: Warrior. Axeling.

Height: 3'3"
Build: While other halflings and their cousin hobbits are often seen as squat or stocky, Syrri is compact and sinewy beneath her leathers.
Hair: Her hair has been shorn semi-recently, and instead of long silver braids, it now reaches her jawline.
Eyes: The left is a deep azure, whereas the right is a warm chestnut.
Skin: Pale, freckled.
Distinguishing Marks: In addition to three long scars starting from her right temple and streaking back into her mess of hair, her right ear is missing its pointed tip, and the evidence of an old burn wraps around her left wrist. A dozen or more other battle marks mar her skin, but she is inclined to keep them covered with leather and furs.

Occupation: A career adventurer, she is always in search of the next-big-thing.
Languages Spoken: Common, Halfling, Elven, Dwarven

Dragon or Halfling?

It is almost entirely a secret that Syrri is really a dragon — she's not even aware of this herself.

  • She looks, smells, and quite possibly even tastes like a halfling — to most people.
  • A few droplets of her blood landed on Shishi's hand during their fight in the finale of the 2017 Titans of Winter Tournament, and it was more of an irritating nuisance than pain-invoking.


Magical Abilities — Or Lack Thereof

Her father was a mage of moderate eminence within their clan. However, Syrri realized very young she could neither cast nor be affected by his spells and all others she encountered before her time in Lithrydel.

Immune to certain types of magic and appears unable to use any herself;

  • At public events such as tournaments, she has encountered illusory magic that has had no effect on her, while nature-based spells have had varying degrees of success.
  • In most cases, she has to heal through slow and painful non-magical means. So far, Leone's divine touch is the only one to have recovered the halfling from her injuries. Even with Aramoth's blessing, it was not a pleasant experience for anyone involved, and it was through this encounter that Syrri first realized she might, in fact, be Cursed and not just forgotten by magic.


Bite-Sized Adventurer

  • Being unable to use magic forced the adventurous young halfling to rely on weapons as the itch to seek out something new beyond the horizon overcame her.
  • Proficient in melee weaponry, Syrri's favored weapons are a pair of aged Dwarven axes named Fate and Luck Ham and Eggs.
  • Uses her small stature to her benefit, often taking on jobs that larger folk cannot.
  • Gear of choice is a suit of Nightstone leathers; the flexible, specially-treated hides can withstand most attacks comparable to metal armor.


Warrior's Guild

While her past responsibilities have limited the scope of her involvement within one of Lithrydel's most renowned guilds, Syrri has risen through its ranks to the status of Lieutenant, and hopes to have the opportunity to ply her skills to their fullest ability in the future.

Skjoldet

Has been in talks with Emilia about opening an academy in Venturil to combine her martial facilities with the well-known healer's medicinal prowess. Long-time friend Emilia has decided to redirect her attention elsewhere, leaving Syrri to rethink her entrepreneurial plans for opening a martial academy (spoiler: she still is; stay tuned!)
