POSTURE & PRESENTATION ▮▮▮▮▯ -- Career military, with the posture to prove it. Prone to standing at rest, standing with a straight spine, saluting. May need her posture tailored to suit Aranean culture.
CONVERSATION ▮▮▮▮▯ 4/5 -- Capable. Able to comfortably address military units under her command as a captain, growing more comfortable with addressing large swarms as a general. Speaks plainly and directly, unless coached to do otherwise by Jedao. Topics that she specializes in and deeply enjoys include mathematical theory, military maneuvers ( infantry, spacecraft ) and romantic comedies.
ENTERTAINMENT ▮▮▯▯▯ 2/5 -- Not showy or flashy in personality, but enjoys a bit of flair in dueling.
DANCE ▯▯▯▯▯ 0/5 - Dancing was not taught at Kel Academy. Cheris currently suffers from a lack of coordination, due to her fine motor control consistently battling with Jedao's. They haven't fully ironed it out, so she needs major drilling.
DINING ▮▯▯▯▯ 1/5 -- Used to communal meals. Reserved in manner, but not refined, let alone courtly. Again, her haphazard motor control has only JUST improved enough for her to handle chopsticks without her hands shaking.
BOWING ▮▮▮▯▯ 3/5 -- Stiff and without any sort of elegance, since she's military.
DIPLOMACY ▮▯▯▯▯ 1/5 -- Her mindset is conservative ( READ: "The average Kel is strongly xenophobic and doesn’t see much difference between a foreigner and a heretic." [ x ] ).
LANGUAGE ▮▮▯▯▯ 2/5 -- Speaks the high language of the hexarchate and her mother's native tongue of Mwen-dal. An attempt will be made, but she'll likely leave the Aranean's language to others. See: DIPLOMACY.
COMBAT ( ARMED ▮▮▮▮▮ | UNARMED ▮▮▮▮▯ ) -- Career soldier. Skilled with hand to hand, guns and swords, formation mechanics and battlefield strategy.
RAPIER ETIQUETTE ▮▮▮▮▯ 4/5 -- An enthusiastic, if mediocre duelist. Very attentive to dueling forms and etiquette, as it is one of her favored hobbies and one she pursues among the Kel. What she lacks in technical skill, she makes up for in passion.
VIDEO GAMES ▮▯▯▯▯ 1/5 -- Capable of thinking straightforwardly through a game, but the nuances are for the Shuos.
FIRST AID ▮▮▯▯▯ 2/5 -- Basic field triage.
HIERARCHY ▮▮▮▮▮ 5/5 -- Understands hierarchy unquestioningly, as she comes from a society built on a HEAVY command hierarchy. Though the influence is residual, thanks to her position as brevet general and Jedao's influence, she has been psychologically trained and medically adjusted to find solace and pleasure in instinctual obedience.
POSTURE & PRESENTATION ▮▮▮▮▮ 5/5 -- Military posture, but capable of grace and fluidity in order to high physical tells or use false ones.
CONVERSATION ▮▮▮▮▮ 5/5 -- Exceptionally capable. His greatest offense and defense is his ability to communicate.
ENTERTAINMENT ▮▮▮▮▯ 4/5 -- Natural AND trained showman. He's playing the greatest game of them all, at all times.
COMBAT ▮▮▮▮▮ 5/5 -- Career soldier, former(?) assassin. Swift, with preternatural reflexes. Fond of guns, straightforward with a blade. A common Shuos hobby is picking common items and figuring out how to kill someone with them -- so, he's very flexible.
DANCE ▮▮▮▮▯ 4/5 -- Some, to be better able to blend in. Cheris's motor control wars with his reflexes.
DINING ▮▮▮▯▯ 3/5 -- Same as Cheris, but better able at adapting to cultural needs. Thank god he can't hold knives.
BOWING ▮▮▮▯▯ 3/5 -- Of course.
DIPLOMACY ▮▮▮▯▯ 3/5 -- He is NOT a diplomat, he just masquerades as one.
GROOMING ▮▮▮▮▮ 5/5 -- He's beautiful, go away.
LANGUAGES ▮▮▮▮▮ 5/5 -- Hexarchate's high language, his dead native language of Shparoi, a handful of Tlen Gwa, etc etc.
RAPIER ETIQUETTE ▮▮▮▮▮ 5/5 -- The opposite of Cheris. An impassionate and straightforward duelist who is perfectly willing to go through an opponent.
VIDEO GAMES ▮▮▮▮▮ 5/5 -- GAMES ARE LITERALLY FOR THE SHUOS. Get him jeng-zai cards, you cowards.
FIRST AID ▮▮▮▮▯ 4/5 -- Basic field triage, but knows a lot about anatomy and how to break it. And poisons, because former(?) assassin.
HIERARCHY ▮▮▮▮▮ 5/5 -- He's your gun, COST.
NOTE: Because Jedao does not possess a physical body, he can only lend his physical reflexes via muscle memory to Cheris. However, he can tutor others through her on other topics such as gaming and conversation.
█ █ In her possession are Aranean-styled Norn cards, and she's gone and done some drawings for folks. Jedao does the most with the cards, since cards can be cleverly manipulated. Even ones that genuinely tell the future, albeit vaguely. The tiniest of metagaming is done by me, to give y'all an accurate "you/central" card and the rest of the spreads are RNG'd. LAUGHS.
