Kella
Riconus raised an eyebrow as she stood before him, with the other brow following suit upon the beginning of her theatrics. A wide smile perched from his lips at Kella's unorthodox set of talents, even though he gave a quick turn while she wasn't looking to ensure her cell mates weren't privvy to this through the windows in the billiards or sleeping quarters. After all, the primary skills of her mates were drug trafficking, extortion and murder... then there was Kella with her acrobatics.
Nevertheless, she put on quite the amazing show, which ended to the sound of wild clapping from Riconus. It was likely the first time he had put a drink down to do anything on the beach since he first arrived. A still impressed look on his face glimmered as Kella returned to her glass.
"Well now! That certainly was not what I expected, and I must admit, I do like surprises quite a bit. I can garauntee you, that whatever I tell of myself, shan't be half as entertaing as your display. I could act out my history like yourself, but I'm sure you've seen enough men trying to show their military prowess off with a few sword actions.
In truth, that would be a perfect display of my life thus far, however. I joined the military as soon as I was able to, but I admit it was done with a little bit of help. My family were high-borne Syl'rosyans, who unfortunately... um, passed on at an early age. My strong ties with the Kaldres Family - the same one that the Jade Legion's commander, Sheng Kaldres, is part of - got me enrolled in the Imperial Naval Academy.
From there, it's just been a long list of battles and wars no one would care to hear about, unless they were military historians. I suppose whatever wealth I have comes from the mercenary companies and militias I've created over the patterns. In fact, you'll be interacting with one of those creations here in Portshire, called the Sapphire Guard. They're in charge of the 'official' extermination of crime in the city, but I imagine you and your cell will add quite a bit to their objective.
Tell me, though. Surely a lady like yourself doesn't plan on being in the military forever. You must have some sort of dream you wish to aspire to in the future, no?"
