Description

Lithe of frame and moderately toned, Rubhi is less a warrior in stature and more someone who has dedicated themselves to a craft, her body being one of consistent exposure to manual labor with skin lightly browned by the sun, and hair to match its bright flames. However, this Miqo'te is hardly your typical smith, if looks were enough to discern. Her most telling feature is a prosthetic right arm, attached at the shoulder, clearly of unusual make (maybe Magitek? Allagan?), and the strange tattoos adorning her sun-kissed skin all along her left arm and shoulder. However, to the correct set of eyes, one would see them for what they really were - interfacing, presumably for other magitek equipment.
Despite this, she seems to be easy enough on the eyes, with decent curves in the right places, and a pair of strikingly intelligent amber eyes that see the world around them as opportunity.Typically, Rubhi seems hardly inclined to cover up the fact she's different in appearance than most, usually preferring to wear breathable and light clothing that makes it easier for her to work in, which usually consists of denim pants, a pair of work boots, and a tank top of some sort. That, and she almost always has her machinists' goggles on her, usually pushed up onto her brow. A large gunmetal black pistol of similar make to her arm might also be found at her hip.-----Update-----Further study and research into more experimental technologies has revealed some rather surprising ways in which Rubhi could upgrade her arm. Now, instead of the metal, black prosthetic people had come to know, her right arm looks almost like her real one. Close inspection and comparison, however, reveals the truth.((Updated screenshots down below!))

Personality

Rubhi is rather mild mannered most of the time, which she seems to get from her Keeper heritage, though she is unlike most of her kin, likely never having been born within a tribe. Still, she smiles, she's capable of having a good time, and can even hold her own in a conversation, especially if that conversation revolved around her passions as a Magitek engineer. She might even end up talking someone's ear off if they were to let her.Like her mentor, Rubhi is very pragmatic when it comes to viewing the world around her, seeing it as more than simply black and white. To her, there are all different shades of grey and most everything, to her, is a means to an end. Of course, that isn't to say she would participate in anything explicitly illegal, like slavery or drug trafficking; however, she understands certain necessary evils of the world. Thus, she prefers to keep an open mind, even when confronted with ideas that might be seen as unpopular among the general public. However, having more or less raised herself without a proper family, the one thing she seems to value above most others is friendship. Rubhi is loyal to those she sees as friends, and will bend over backwards for them if she had to.

Background

For most of her young life, Rubhi has been rather independent - taking care of and raising herself as long as she could remember. She was a street urchin who would move from city to city as needed, or as she wore out her welcome. It wasn't terribly long after she'd come to Thanalan that she became involved in what must've been a terrible accident which left her body badly mangled and battered. She never could remember what exactly happened, or what she was doing up until the incident, but a man (who later took her in) told her it may have been a cave-in or a landslide, or something. In any case, when she was brought before the chirurgeons of Ul'dah, they gave her only a few days to live at the most.A Thanalese merchant, who happened to see the Brass Blades dragging Rubhi to see the chirurgeons, decided to take on her care when the chirurgeons declared her terminal. After Rubhi finally awoke from her coma, she immediately noticed there were a lot of things different than she'd remembered. While she was breathing, it was painful for a good while, and her entire right arm, up to the shoulder, was gone. However, rather than letting Rubhi slip into a deep-seated depression, the merchant would take her under his wing. It turned out he was actually a magitek engineer and even specialized in prosthetics. When he started to open her eyes to the wondrous things magitek could do to not only improve her own life (save it, even), but the lives of others, she couldn't help but see the possibilities.Rubhi was instantly hooked on this new way of life, and as she recovered from her life saving procedures, she started reading book after book. After all, it was all she could do until she could move around again, and listening to her mentor was the least she could do for saving her life. Thus began Rubhi's illustrious career as a magitek engineer, learning all she could from her mentor. Eventually, he became the closest thing to family she had, like a big brother, since he was too young to be like a father to her. However, nothing lasted forever, and as time passed, it eventually came time Rubhi set out on her own, to build a little piece of her own little empire in the world of magitek and its prospects.
