Wanderer
Solongo was tasked with a mission by her tribe which necessitates, among other things, exploring the length and breadth of the realm. As a result, she could be found almost anywhere.
Xaela
Solongo may be away from home but her heart will always be there. She values the traditions of both her tribe and the Xaela in general, and will happily speak with others from the Steppe.
Mythical
Other Xaela may have heard of the reclusive Orilokh tribe, living deep in the western desert of the Steppe. Rumours abound that they are dragons in disguise, breathe fire, hoard riches, practice cannibalism and more. Are any of them true?
Devout
The Orilokh worship Ukhesh, a serpentine deity whom they claim protects and aids them in battle. He shares some traits with one of the Twelve, Nald'thal, as both shepherd souls to the afterlife and place great importance upon wealth. Followers of either god may find a kindred spirit in Solongo.
Red Mage
Solongo is one of many in her tribe who wield an unusual kind of magic. Its origins are steeped in Orilokh legend, but users are able to command the powers of both earth and fire, air and thunder. Those familiar with red magic might notice many similarities.
Artisan
Her techniques are rough around the edges but Solongo has been polishing gems and crafting with precious metals for many years. She wouldn't be averse to teaching someone what she knows, or having a mentor train her in more sophisticated methods.
Legacy of Allag
(Please discuss with me first if you wish to use this hook!) Solongo's searching for something that will fix an Allagan device; unfortunately, she currently isn't aware that the device is Allagan. From historians to engineers, anyone familiar with Allagan technology could potentially assist her with this.
She/her and GMT time zone. Heavy roleplayer with a flexible style that can easily adapt to the circumstances. Lore compliant, although I don't mind a little bending or head canon to fill in the blanks. I'm 21+ and open to mature themes but please discuss with me beforehand. Discord available for plotting only.
