Biography
Joylene was born into a loving couple in the village of Luwateninyawawasa but never knew her father due to him passing away when she was still a crying babe. Her mother, Lisa Averline, says it was due to an accident at work but she gets the feeling there maybe more there but never pressed her for it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Life growing up involved a lot of chores and work as soon as she was able to help her mother out with bills and comfort. Joylene picked up a few tricks for rope typing, foraging and small game hunting with a firearm. Her disposition growing up lead her to be fairly trusting of most people. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Becoming of age, she would join up with a local militia force called The Shaaloani Shiners. She went to this pact with the purpose of continuing to support her aging mother back in the village. Under her time with them, she was taught how to fight with a firearm and fireblade (gunblade) both on top of hand to hand as well. Despite it's rough name, she felt a sense of comradery being in this group as they mostly protected the defenseless and quelled local bandit groups. She had begun to get close to a comrade named Jesse Anders. The rest of the company would tease and joke at them for their closeness but they both maintained nothing was occurring. That was a lie.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On a routine merchant escort with a companion she had tender feelings for, highwaymen ambushed them all of a sudden. A bullet grazed the bridge Joylene's nose, continuing on and mortally striking Jesse in her head. Her world slowed down for a moment as images of her mother flashed in her mind at that moment as well as visions of Jesse. All at once her senses come back to her and she yells.
"Jesse!!!"
Joylene has not a moment to mourn her as she grabs the merchant and ducks down from the gun fire.
"Close your eyes."
She commands her charge with a tremble in her voice. She quickly pulls out a makeshift flash bomb, lights it and throws it up into the air. It explodes mid air and the firing stops for a moment.
"We need to RUN!"
Joylene picks the merchant up and runs back to town, surviving the ambush. Reinforcements are rounded up and they quickly ride out back the road. The bandits are long gone now, making off with the merchants goods. Jesse's body is recovered and a small funeral is held for her in town.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joylene leaves the militia group, disillusioned and depressed from the ordeal. Many try to talk her out of it but she makes her final decision and hands her militia-issued weaponry over and returns back home to her mother. A good few years pass in a blur. The discovery of ceruleum in Shaaloani is made and people begin to flock near them booming the local economy. Having only done small jobs and work for a good few years she decides throw her hat into being a blue gold miner to least help her mother more. [Events of Dawntrail occur here.]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the rough times that the mad lizard king brought to the area, things seem to be returning to some kind of normality. Aside from the lingering purple dome of the horizon as a reminder, Joylene continued to work in the fields. She was under the employ of ceruleum company, Rroneek and Blue Limited (R&B). Ran by an enterprising and decently unscrupulous man named Josea Everett, he promoted Joylene up the ranks from field worker to traveling salesman as Tural opened up trade to the world stage. Looking to peddle his liquid blue to any and all who'd want it, he trusted Joylene to remain in line and make good on her representation for the company across the salt. Joylene couldn't say no to the opportunity with the money it would bring for her but she didn't know the first thing about being a merchant and felt awful about leaving her mother home alone for great amounts of time. She bit the bullet and accepted in the end through. How her life shapes now is in the clouds.
Hooks
Shaaloani - Being born and raised in Shaaloani, she would naturally gravitate and be more comfortable around a fellow frontiersmanCeruleum and Mining - Joylene's current line of work being so tied to ceruleum now, she's be quick to make a sale or chat someone up who might night a thing or two about it's applications and inventions. She also just has an admiration of the mining profession in general seeing it as a noble and good-natured folks job.
Scrapper and a Lady - Joylene's previous life with the Shaaloani Shiners molded her to not be so adverse to the more terse and rough side of society. She can mingle with the bad as well as she does the good. She can defend herself if she needs to or talk the talk with the fine and upstanding just as well.
Commiserate -She can share a drink and drink herself down with someone who wants to trade pity stories and sadness back and forth.
Combat Techniques - Joylene is always down to trade fighting tips and sparring or taking part in a shooting contest. Hand to hand fights or swinging a fireblade is a good way she finds to relax with.
Foreigner in a strange land - Joylene sticks out like a sore thumb in any place that is not Tural. Her mannerisms and southern accent mark her out fast. Joylene is always looking for directions or help finding her way in places across the salt
