Jlu Ciranth

Height: 5' 8” Mass: 145 lbs. Measurements: ? Bra Size: 34B

Build and Skin Colour: Jlu's body is thin, yet tightly muscled from playing sports and working out all her life. Her skin is quite a pale shade of white, and doesn't tan easily, even in the great deserts where she's lived. She's okay with that though, as sun screen is freely available.

Facial Features and Eye Colour: Jlu's face radiates the naïveté of a young child most of the time. Her small nose and lips with large, black eyes only add to her child like effect. Her black eyes also give her a somewhat strange stare, as they glow like the rest of her species.

Hair Colour and Style: Jlu's black hair is relatively long, ending just at the bottom of her shoulder blades. It's parted in the middle with two separate tresses hanging before her face and in front of her horns. She can hide behind them quite well.

Clothing Style: She mostly wears tank tops and short shorts, a habit from living in the hot desert air. She definitely loves to wear bright colors, but if she's trying to impress black and white is a sure choice.

Distinguishing Features: Jlu's white horns and plates coupled with her pale, white skin added with her black hair and eyes make her mostly black and white in terms of color. She likes to have fun with this fact whenever coming up with things to wear.

Personality: Jlu is a naive girl, and a lover at heart. She's also quite mischievous and curious, many times to the annoyance of those around her. She not only loves to learn about the objects around her, she especially loves to learn about the people around her. She's apt to hear a good secret, though by her talkative nature nobody would think she could keep one. She doesn't like to hurt anyone though, but if somebody is mean to her or one of her friends she'll find a way to get them back. No matter how boring the day Jlu will always find a way to make it not so, and if someone is having a bad day she'll find a way to turn it around for them. Love and happiness is Jlu's main motivation, but she joined the army, and she can kill if need be. She prefers to find a way around that if she can. Exploration is the reason she joined, but if someone tries to kill her friends, she wouldn't think twice about taking them down. Despite her interests in the lives of others, Jlu can be quite selfish at times. Her main concerns revolve around herself, no matter how bad off one of her friends is. Her own crushes will most definitely take precedence over her friends’.

Likes: Love, joy, learning, people, space, sports, and flying. Dislikes: Sadness, lying, jerks, and injustice. Goals: Finding a good lover, exploring the universe, and learning a lot in the process.

Born to two loving parents on an airship traveling the great deserts of Maekardan, Jlu lived a typical Eyr Ranr childhood; learning the basics of life, playing sports, and caring for her younger siblings on the airship with regular trips on the ground. What made her life memorable was all the love she gave and received to all the young men on her ship, most ending in the boy complaining about her clinginess and 'craziness' (but what did they know anyway?). She's a very loyal lover despite looking for it intensely. She never left any of her boyfriends; they all left her in a tragic mess. Jlu is mostly self taught, but anything that she required tutoring for was given in depth by her older family in lengthy lectures sprinkled with stories of when they were kids. It sometimes bored her, but the subjects were still quite fascinating to her. She's heard so many stories about her family that it's no wonder she loves to hear about other people's stories. In order to escape her family, whom she'd lived with so long (and to learn more about the universe), she joined the Astral Vanguard. She specifically joined the Erla Miraiv to let her travel where ever they needed her.

Jlu is the type of girl that enjoys sports and keeping her body fit. She's built up quite a lot of stamina from sports, running, swimming, and working out, giving her a sleek athletic figure. Basic training in the Astral Vanguard has made her proficient in both defensive and offensive hand-to-hand techniques as well as the use of several hand weapons including: knives, pistols, rifles, and light explosives (grenades). She is in excellent physical form, with sufficiently high endurance to survive situations such as elevated G-forces. Jlu was taught martial arts at a young age in order to be fit for sports and to compete with her siblings on board the ship, many of them much larger than herself. She was also interested in it just because she thought it looked cool. Her own uncle taught her…well, if you can call him that; she just called him uncle. Basic training taught her new things, but she only added it to her previous repertoire.

Jlu had limited encounters with NI in her childhood, but she can use the ports on her body moderately well. Basic has gave her extensive courses in the use of NI systems aboard the Organoid craft employed by the Astral Vanguard. She understands how to properly utilize her own entry ports to interface with compatible systems. The use of standard-issue electronic devices and conventional computers has also been a part of her education.

Communication is important aboard an airship traveling with other ships. Before basic Jlu had limited knowledge of how those devices worked, but after she could competently use any method the fleet has to offer. She loves to talk so learning more about languages in basic came naturally. She is capable of using all standard communications found in the Iromakuanhe Astral Commonwealth, in particular those employed by the Astral Vanguard. This includes laser, radio and MASC-enhanced variations in various formats and media. She is fluent in Saalsari and Haidasari, and can speak, read and write it correctly. She can communicate clearly even while under fire or in other unnerving situations.

Jlu learned basic and advanced first aid as well as physiology and medical science from books and others on the ship, but a lot of her experience comes from treating her family of their various wounds. She has quite an interest in Iromakuanhe physiology. Due to basic she is even more capable of basic medical techniques, including everything up to first aid, emergency care such as CPR or the Heimlich maneuver, and the administering of prepared medicine, such as painkillers or stimulants. Advanced knowledge also allows her to perform limited surgery in the field, including treating gunshot or stab wounds.

Growing up in an airship full of young children required that Jlu learn the skills necessary to maintain a decent 'household'. She can cook, clean, sew, and do laundry without even thinking about it, but she doesn't mind help every once in awhile. Serving as a caregiver in the army is improving her skills quite a bit: she is capable of functioning in various domestic positions, including laundry, tailoring and cleaning. She is capable of some fairly advanced cooking techniques and can experiment with various ingredients to make palatable dishes. She can easily prepare and serve dozens of field rations kits to a full wing or platoon at once.

Again, growing up surrounded by youngsters forced her to work on storytelling, acting, and music playing in order to quiet down those obnoxious kids. She greatly enjoys playing any low pitched instruments, like the bass guitar or bass clarinet. She's practiced extensively with the bass guitar and has even brought one aboard as a part of her personal belongings. It takes up a lot of space, but most everybody enjoys hearing her play her melodic solos.

Jlu has been interested in flying her whole life, and as such has learned to fly airplanes, small airships, and Waver Jarin, a snake like riding animal with wings. In order to better traverse cities when need be she was also taught how to drive a car, both on and off-road, but she is by no means an expert.

Astral Vanguard Standard Issue items, casual clothing & shoes, formal clothing & shoes, bass guitar, amp, and a few paperback books.
