Jirel Flyr

"Picked a fight with a dangerous one, did you? Lasting scars?" Jirel is only mildly inquisitive.
"What's it to you?" Cass gives Jirel a look.
Jirel passes a hand through her hair, clearly displaying her chomped ear. "They make for valuable lessons."

Jirel is an Elven Ranger. Before her time in the New World, she has enjoyed a lengthy career of adventuring in the Old World.

Bio:

When growing up, her father served as a role model, guiding her in the ways of the hunt and the lessons of Erastil. 

Jirel left home and pursued a career of adventuring where she met her partner.

They eventually settled down and were together until tragedy struck. Afterwards, Jirel returned to the life of adventuring, drowning her sorrows in large quantities of cheap beer.

In the New World, Jirel has sometimes tasked herself with guiding new arrivals through survival on the hunt, because they remind her of her younger self.

Her primary motivation is a selfish pursuit of bigger and more dangerous prey, both for the thrill of it, and in an unconscious refutation of old weakness.

While adventuring in the New World, she acquired the failed phylactery of one Lamwen Darr, the Merger. The onyx gem has some manner of influencing thoughts, however it is apparently only a reflection of Lamwen's memories, and there is none of his soul left in the object. [citation needed]

Recently she has started an organisation, the Hunters' Lodge, together with Najat Gevesh.

Relationships:

First Landing:

Jirel is a Guild member mostly out of convenience, because it nets her opportunities and backup to go after bigger targets. She has set up a smaller sub-organisation in the hopes to attract similarly-minded individuals.

Cornix:

Jirel has formed a fragile friendship with Cornix the Beaker. While questing to explore the mysterious tower south of First Landing, Jirel and her party found a ghoulish Chimera by chance. The Unknown was slain instantly by a breath weapon while she could do nothing but watch. After Cornix's miraculous recovery Jirel stayed in contact with him, eventually taking down the Chimera together.

Selene:

Jirel's attitude towards Selene is one of mostly professional appreciation. Selene has multiple times been a useful companion during missions. The expeditions to Stone's Warden were ordeals better suffered together than alone.

Artur:

Artur Firefist is one of the adventurers Jirel has helped get their bearings in the New World. They hunted owlbears together, as well as the Monster from the Millennium Forest. Ever since he made her a drink good enough to remind her of the time she was happily running a brewery with her partner, she's been keeping her distance a little.
