Gnarly scar around their neck. Mechanized, prosthetic left arm, easy to overlook when they're fully armored.Common Accessories: (While on the job) Dark iron helmet and red hood, clawed gauntlets.

RP Hooks ––– –^{THE HUNTER IN RED}Ari is a bounty hunter, their prey of choice being dangerous beasts and cults. With their expert marksmanship, creative tools and void magicks, they are a force to be reckoned with.They believe all monsters to be dangerous, no matter how diminutive or harmless they seem. Whether said monster appears as a hyur or behemoth is irrelevant to them. Even so, they rarely attack unprovoked- unless their voidsent tips them off to ill intent.-
^{ACCURSED FORGEMASTER}Venari always had a knack for tinkering, making little contraptions as a kid and later expanding to weaponry. On occasion, they have worked at the Skysteeel Manufactury under short-term contracts in-between bounty hunting. They later branched off to work as a freelancer.Nowadays, they have a reputation for specializing in forging infernal arms, imbued with the power of the Void. Most of the equipment they carry they made with their own hands. For this reason, Mhachi texts and artifacts are of great interest to them. However, they will not agree to work for just anyone; they know the power they wield and won't allow it to fall into the wrong hands.
-^{VOIDBOUND REVENANT}
Hailing from a small village in Ilsabard, they were forced to flee their home after voidsent and Garleans tore through the settlement. Haunted by memories of carnage, they vowed to avenge their fallen family, carving this oath into their very flesh.This determination soon drew the attention of a malevolent entity, drawn to the desire for blood in their heart. Ari had to make a choice between death and vengeance, and thus forged a pact with the voidsent known as Voro, locking them in a conflict of wills that will lead to their demise. The serpent of nightmares and blood clings to their soul like a disease, a curse and a blessing all at once, eroding their body but granting them incredible power.In spite of that, Ari is oddly fond of their "pact partner"; hunter and void beast seen moving and fighting as if they were one mind, one an extension of the other. The hunter keeps the voidsent fed, and in turn, the voidsent keeps them alive until the end of their contract.
