Illini Denrir

Early Life
Once having a larger crew, illini was a marauder captain to be feared. During her earlier years something transpired to cause her crew to abandon her. leading her to seek out new allies in the form of Cail, Armittus and Tiko.

Ryak-Lo
Being the captain of her own ship, Illini is Ryna's groups means of exploring the mass of Ryak-Lo energy signatures in the unexplored oceans. Wanting nothing more than to set sail once again. Being a defensive fighter she is a particulary useful allie in combat and immediate love interest for Tremayne.

Personality and Traits
Illini is by far the cheeriest member of the group, always looking to have a good time and a good drink. However she is happiest when she is sailing her beloved ship.

Being the heaviest drinker of Ryna's allies, her personality can however, change rapidly. And to date the only people who can easily notice the change from happy, flirty drunk to angry, paranoid drunk, are Cail, Armittus and Tiko.

Illini is a master at manipulating members of the opposite sex. And if things appear to not be going her way (in battle or otherwise) she will attempt to use her sexual prowess to get out of trouble, and often refers to her breasts as her ultimate weapon.

Powers and Abilities
Being a Zantabarian, Illini is adept at focusing her Nairyoku into her defence, allowing her to absorb massive attacks. She is able to absorb the energy from physical blows, magical attacks and even the kinetic energy of projectiles, such as bullets.

Like other Zantabarians, she is able to redirect the absorbed energy into an attack of her own. the resulting energy attack is slightly weaker than the original blow, and there is a short time limit before another attack can be fully absorbed. However these effects can be lessened with training.

Illini is also more than competent in regular combat with her axe and shield, but her real strength lies in her ability to use her natural 'charms' to distract her male opponents.

Behind the Scenes
Along with Feldin, Illini is one of the only main characters in Ryak-Lo that did not undergo a massive visual overhaul from her initial conception. Her only notable change was the change from using a larger two-handed axe to having a smaller weapon alongside a shield.

Appearances
Illini's first appearance occured in Ryak-Lo issue 19, where she met Tremayne during the group's search for a ship captain. Due to the nature of their meeting, Tremayne didn't have chance to ask his initial question. Leading to the two to meet later in combat (While both their identities were anonymous.)
