=== 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. === XP Log ===
