Arariel Belle
Sphinx SAR Ambassador

-She/They/He, Bi
-Born in the plains of the Sunbeam Ruins to one of the many roaming clans of Sphinx in the region, the unnatural and disturbing has been a looming presence in her life long before she ever associated with SAR. The rise of the entity known as Luminax across the eleven regions occurred in her early childhood, with the horror-beast claiming the lands her clan had once called home through, tearing apart everything that lay in its path with no care. The life she knew was forcibly up-rooted to take shelter further up land where the beast couldn't follow on its rotting legs and tangled wings, and she learned from a young age how to handle herself in perilious situations and hold her own in battle as things became dire in the pursuit of safety, stability, and dwindling resources. But perhaps one of the most useful skills she picked up as the situation perservered was negotiation. As SAR and the Sunbeam Ruin's armed draconic forces arrived on the scene to assist and contain Luminax, she was witness to many of the negotations the Sphinx engaged in with the dragons there. She observed their scaly neighbours and helpers curiously, picked up on all those differences both big and small between their cultures as well as politics, and started to speak up in their dealings with her insight. It wasn't long before SAR noticed her fantastic debating skills, her keen insight and quickly picked up knowledge. She was offered a chance to escape the carnage on SAR's behalf. To learn of and research other cultures (both draconic and beastclan) under their wing for the promise she'd then work for them as a representative and negotiator on behalf of the SAR Facility. It's been many years since then, and she has flourished into a very skilled, respected member of the staff. Were it not for her work, entities such as 27073 or 31705 may have never been able to come under our care with the understanding and grace necessary nor would we have brokered deals such as the on-going talk of social re-integration for 846.
-Most of SAR's staff, though perhaps being polite or hard-working individuals with big personalities, could not be truly described as 'charming'. Their work and the ways they handle it can be off-putting, and many remain rightfully suspicious of anyone working under somewhere clouded in such mystery. Especially someone far in the upper ranks of the organization. Arariel, fortunately, has an easier time gaining people's trust and putting their minds at ease for the most part. Perhaps it's his very playful nature, always eager and curious when he meets new people or finds himself in new situations. Perhaps its his sharp mind, always listening and inquiring very genuinely, never without a helpful idea or plan in his back pocket. But those well-versed with such individuals know to stay wary of his seemingly helpful, cheery attitude. They'll notice the way he never speaks of himself, closely guarded no matter who he's dealing with. They'll notice the way he speaks just a little sharper when dealing with someone stubborn or difficult. They'll be wary of that eagerness to learn and listen. Especially those who truly don't desire to negotiate with SAR, they may worry that not holding their cards close to their chest will have them backed up against the wall into a decision they don't want. But he has a way of finding things out and figuring out how to work around you regardless. He's a master tactician, silver-tongued negotiator, and a beast of dubious morality. ..... Dubious to both sides, that is. Not all of his deals benefit SAR in the way they want. And he has no issue backing them into a corner either. It was the odd thing occassion here or there where he was so outspoken with them, but since the incident with Zyere and a rumoured few words shared with Eun-Ji...... he has started to hold himself in mystery far further than before and strike more deals prioritizing their targets safety than SAR's research. He almost never speaks in his flirtatious, sunny manner with Mephistopheles anymore.
-Not Partnered, it takes a lot of trust to let someone be that close. Though he always seems to want to spend his free time with Eun-Ji.
