OTHER

PRESENTSherry initially landed in Thavnair to search for a sea witch but soon found herself embroiled with the underworld. Although most of her time was taken up by illegal smuggling or hunting marks, she took to a kind, elderly Raen couple named Mahvash and Farrokh. The pair reminded her of her parents and made their honest coin by fishing.During a skirmish in Yedlihmad when the town was overrun by beasts, Sherry did her best to protect them and the new friends she had made. Unfortunately, as a machinist, there was little she could do to keep their attention on her. The elderly couple - like many others - were lost in the destruction.Since returning from Thavnair, Sherry has been splitting her time between the Sea of Clouds and Limsa Lominsa. While she visits her crew to help when she can, she is technically on leave. For what? She won't say, but if you stop by La Noscea, you may just see her swinging an axe at rocks in an attempt to "train."PASTThe smell of salt carried in the wind, the rough waves of the sea, the sound of her pistol firing into a skirmish - this is where Sherry feels most at home.Born to an Au Ra couple in Limsa Lominsa who ran a shipping business, Sherry grew up in the shipyard. Although she heard rumours that her mother had been an infamous pirate in their homeland, both of her parents had left any tales of the Ruby Sea, Doma and their Raen kin behind. Throughout her childhood, she often accompanied her father along his trade routes to Gridania and Ul'dah. It was on one of these trips that she first met her brother Jean... but that is a tale for another time.Dreaming of lands beyond the forested Gridania and sandy Ul'dah, she joined a pirate's crew as an arcanist in hopes that she could make it to Doma. To this day, her father still believes that she was simply an adventurer. Her mother, a woman changed by the pirate's way, could always see through the ruse.Her crew carried her into illicit trade routes, through Dravania, Ishgard, and later the Sea of Clouds. After an accident decimated her crew, she spent some time in Ishgard and later joined a new band of sky pirates, picking up the machinist combat style. With this crew, she made it all the way to Kugane. As she searched for information about her kin, she was met with something of a mythical tale - that many of the Raen had fled to live in the sea. Thinking herself foolish, she gave up on her search and returned home.When she returned to Limsa, a Marauder friend suggested that look into the work that their guild had uncovered. Trading in her pistol for a grimoire once more, she attempted to unravel the secrets of her faeries - albeit not very successfully. In those days, you could find her running with the sky pirate crew in the Sea of Clouds, stealing from the foreign ships just outside of Limsa Lominsa, solo treasure hunting or buried in a codex.After all of these adventures, one grand mystery still remains. Even now, Sherry wonders if that city under the sea truly exists... and if she'll ever be able to make it there.

development hooks

These are hooks that are plotlines and development areas that I'd like to push forward with my character!Boom Goes the Dynamite:
[Looking for mechanics, engineers & tinkerers]
While Sherry favours guns, she doesn't do a very good job in taking care of them. If you're a mechanic, engineer, or inventor of any kind, she might need your help. She's also always on the lookout for new ranged weapons to try out.Saltwind's Welcome:
[Looking for contacts from Thavnair]
While living in Thavnair, she held a dual identity - the sweet honest girl who helped the elderly couple and an infamous smuggler who would vanish without a trace. Did you meet one of these two?Skull & Crossbones:
[Looking for sea or sky pirates]
Sherry was formerly with a pirate crew called Menphina's Tears in Limsa Lominsa and now works with a sky pirate group aboard the Queen's Coffin. If you're also a pirate, maybe you've seen her? Fought her? Worked with her?Under the Sea:
[Looking for fellow Raen, Confederacy pirates, characters from Doma & the Ruby Sea]
They say there's a city of Raen underneath the waves of the Ruby Sea. Although Sherry's never been past the ports of Kugane, she's awfully interested in this rumour, and in seeing her parents' homelands across Othard.Of Bozja & Brothers:
[Looking for contacts from Gangos]
Sherry's brother Jean went to the Bozjan Liberation Front... then never came back. If you bear any news about the front and/or her brother, she wants to hear it.

Additional Hooks

These are additional hooks that are more general! They're not my main focus for character development, but I'm happy to delve into any of them. Also open to other hooks not listed.Till sea swallows all: As Lominsan-born lass, she adores talking about her home. She could go on for days about the taverns, the rainforest, or the shipyards.Buried in another book: Sherry would love to hear any tales about Nym, Mhach or Amdapor. She also loves fairytales and myths, and has a few she'd be willing to share herself.Lighter pockets: Did you lose something in Hawker's Alley? Find your pockets empty after frequenting the Jeweled Crozier? This thief might have something to do with it.
