=== Description ===
 
Wandering Sands is a dark skinned man in his mid twenties with black hair cut somewhat short and blue eyes. He has what could
 
be described as a lithe figure of sorts, easily capable of being swift on his feet. His features are somewhat soft, and it
 
seems a smile is always just lurking underneath. He is typically clad in a white tunic and a set of brown slacks, a set of
 
black boots visible underneath while his left hand is clad in a brown glove as well. A belt loops around his waist, playing
 
host to a sheathed straight sword hanging on his left while a knife hilt is perhaps visible on the tip of his right boot. At
 
times he wears a brown cloak over this ensemble, worn from traveling the deserts of the South. Worn on his left wrist is the
 
Resplendent Personal Assistant while a simple jade collar is worn underneath the neck of his tunic.
 
 
Elegance in Motion:
 
A reaper daiklaive crafted of Orichalcum with jade insets, it is a blade that favors swift and elegant movements that Sands
 
tends to favor when he is forced to engage in combat. Engraved into the blade with the red jade insets is a fiery design,
 
possibly indicative of origin within the South. Where he obtained is something answered with a slight smile and a mention
 
of a 'poor spirit' and nothing else however.
 
 
=== Background ===
 
Brilliant Ruby was born to a merchant family within the city state of Paragon, specializing in the trade of various gems
 
recovered from the mines throughout the South. It was there he was raised, brought up in the environs of the perfect city
 
state, ruled on high by the Perfect and kept in perfect order through fear. He was the only child of the family, beginning to
 
be inducted into the ways of running the business and taking to it rather well. He obeyed the laws the Perfect set out of
 
course, having taken the oath of loyalty relatively early in life as is required by all citizens of Paragon. And so life went
 
on.
 
When Ruby turned the age of seventeen he was given the occasional permission to leave Paragon, supervising caravans his family
 
ran that would transport their spoils to destinations throughout the South where there was a demand. He picked up a few tricks
 
of the trade there, showing further aptitude but not quite honing it as much beyond the sneaky arrangement or two to benefit
 
his family's business and wealth. He picked up other talents along the way, some skills in survival, some in defending himself
 
and a wealth of interpersonal ones as well.
 
As his twentieth year rolled around he had taken on more and more duties within the business, working in conjunction with
 
Paragon's government on more than one occasion to further their own desire to market the precious gems they possessed. At this
 
time tensions between Gem and Paragon were beginning to mount as they competed for the share of the gem market unfortunately.
 
While Paragon had the Realm, Gem had far more ability to act and no scruples about it. Raids were increased, harming the trade
 
quite a bit. They continued their business however, undeterred by the risks now inherent in it. It was at a stop at one of the
 
smaller villages where Ruby would indulge in the sort of things one did not easily obtain within Paragon that an raid on the
 
shipment he was guiding was carried out by sellswords. Interestingly enough he engaged them in dialogue at first, working at
 
making them call it off with almost divine guidance of a sort.
 
Then the Eclipse mark burst into being on his forehead, while the symbol of Paragon was struck powerless by the force of the
 
Solar Exaltation. He commanded the mercenaries to abandon their aims, which they did without complaint. Ruby however found
 
himself having to abscond with the shipment itself to fund his own escape, having become an Anathema now. Rumor has it those
 
bandits were later found by Paragon and dealt with in a rather unpleasant fashion.
 
He abandoned the idea of a gem merchant, sliding into the other part his duties had entailed: a traveller, taking up the name
 
Wandering Sands instead. In these travels (in which he rather studiously avoids Paragon) he has continued to indulge in a
 
lifestyle without a strict set of rules from on high, taking in what the world can offer in a variety of ways. And possibly
 
methods. His travels have also earned him chances to obtain both the Cleansing Collar and Personal Assistant through...
 
somewhat legit means. How he obtained Elegance in Motion however involves
 
long negotiation with a spirit in the deep desert discovering that he was in fact an Eclipse by the sight of the bound oath
 
between them. Details are lacking, but Sands obtained the reaper daiklaive in that fashion.
 
 
=== Artifact Effects ===
 
Resplendent Assistant:
 
In addition to containing a miniature jade compass that points to the Elemental Pole of Earth and
 
also reveals both how far the wearer is from this elemental pole and how far above or below sea level she is,
 
this artifact also contains a minute timekeeper. The least spirit of this timekeeper tracks the exact second,
 
minute, hour, day and month by listening to the whispers of the pattern spiders. In addition to keeping
 
track of the time, the assistant also can instantly tell the phase of the moon and how much time remains
 
until the next sunrise or sunset. The compass combined with the timekeeper provides a -1 reduction in
 
difficulty to all rolls involving navigation or astrology that the user makes. Commit: 1 mote.
 
 
Collar of Dawn's Cleansing Light:
 
The artifact negates all penalties to Social rolls that would be applied
 
due to the character being dirty or unkempt. Attuning to the collar extends its powers beyond
 
the Exalt’s clothing to her physical body. The artifact’s cleansing light adds two dice to (Stamina
 
+ Resistance) rolls made against disease or poison. Commit: One mote.
