Seleska

Hiding in Plain Sight

Previously thought to be naught more than an additional number to the statistics of Ala Mhigans who disappeared beneath Garlean occupation, Seleska Sweet returns to Ul'dah as if she never left. Claiming that there is no rest for the wicked, Seleska is a woman who claims no past, no future and countless names. Street trash, degenerate, chameleon, traitor... She wears them all. A voracious and manipulative woman who only looks for the next opportunity for trouble and that next big score.In the short time since her reappearance she's already become a familiar shade in local watering holes, a constant to be found leaning over the bar and challenging strangers to contests of drink or not so subtly seeking to barter for favors, both traditional and not. Known to command a bars attention like a drunken queen, she pretends to be a untouchable. Blissfully at home amongst the outcast and downtrodden. The woman never seems to hesitate, charging into the next night with bullish defiance for common sense.Away from her vices, she calls herself an accomplished 'job broker', a 'friendly neighborhood signpost', who can find a use for anyone with a pulse, although the legality of what she asks is often suspect. Her purse is open to any who claim to have an interesting tidbit to offer, or a skill ready to be utilized. Strangely, her purse seemingly never empties for opportunities of mischief, but when it comes to settling her debts, Seleska can often be suspiciously absent. She invites any to join her for a drink, unless she owes them already: If that's the case, she insists you haven't seen her.Despite her behavior as a shiftless, untamed lay-about, her name has become a recurring murmur amongst the underbelly of Ul'dah. The rumors that surround her range from mundane to absurd, accusing her from petty theft to attempting to take the a place amongst the underworlds elite. Seleska wears these accusations with pride, and sometimes participates in bloating the scale of her misdeeds to super human proportion, inviting any who'd call her a liar to do so to her face.

Rumor Has It

  • Traitor | A turncoat in the truest of senses, Seleska has served her 'missing' years as a spy for Garlemald. She has abandoned her post, only to resurface in Ul'dah. It's only a matter of time before she is recognized...

  • Sensitivity | Unbeknownst to her, a recent incident has left her aetherically compromised and now extremely sensitive to fluctuations in the aether.

  • Voidtouched | Sometimes knowledge has a price. Seleska has paid such a toll and its cost has left a brand upon her very essence. The wrongness of her aether can be felt to those keen to it.

  • Troublemaker | Seleska is notorious for over-stepping herself and testing the patience of others. Her antics have far-reaching effects and she's not keen to meet those effected by her actions.

  • Broker | Privy to exclusive intel? Seleska is more than delighted to barter for whatever you may know.

  • Dealers | Hiding ones vices is wise, unfortunately Seleska does not buy into such advice. She openly seeks narcotics and no price is too high in pursuit of ones next high.

  • Numb | To tolerate a chronic pain, Seleska drinks and drugs herself to excess. Despite the stupor, she carries about her day as if it does not effect her.

  • Arcane | Uncertain of what has happened to her, Seleska seeks out those who would be knowledgeable about forbidden magic and ancient artifacts in a desperate bid to reverse what has been done.

  • Meaning | An existence without direction is one cursed to wander aimlessly.
