Savra

[Savra]

“One day, all Eyktol will be mine. Ahnatep and Yahabeh will burn with the Redeemer's fury and the temple-city of Hai shall be cleansed of its corruption. A new order shall emerge from these ashes – a force of purity and righteousness that shall make all lands tremble.” Basic Information Race: Benshira Human Gender: Female Born: 62 Fall, 495 (15) Height: 5’4 Weight: 112 lbs Physical Description “Stare, and I’ll slice out your eyelids.” Lithe and long-legged, Savra was built for speed. Her skeins of raven-black hair are often concealed beneath a rust-orange turban, while a man’s dust-colored tunic and leggings covers the remainder of her tanned skin. Beneath these garments, Savra is slender and her lean muscles well-defined. In addition to the bronze torc around her neck, she wears three copper earrings on her left ear and one on the right. Languages Shiber, Fluent Common, Broken Tawna, Poor Character Concept “I was a child once, and naive. Now I am a prophet. I see what others do not see. I hear what they do not hear. Let them open their ears and ears, lest they perish in the flames.” Savra is apostate among the Benshira; a false prophet who has abandoned Yahal for an imagined god of destruction. It is her belief that Eyktol will be consumed by an inferno that will spare only the righteous, and that she must offer salvation and truth to the masses. While Savra may be a zealot, she is also haughty, stubborn, and determined to seek greatness no matter the cost. A sociopath, she is cunning and ruthless in her pursuit of a new order, often using torture to teach “lessons” and understand the motives of others. On the inside, Savra is deeply troubled – a survivor of abuse and neglect, not to mention a lapsed dusk-eater. She has come to perceive love as a weapon and developed a deep-seated hatred of phalluses, which she will cut off and burn if given the chance. In addition to her sociopathy, Savra is also a manic-depressive. She seeks to conceal all traces of emotion, but despairs of ever understanding the minds of others – a rift that dooms her sacred responsibilities to failure.

All that is impure shall burn to ash.” [Expansion underway] Skills Gladius – 30 Dual Wield – 5 Composite Shortbow – 10 Riding - 10 Survival (Desert) – 10 Lores Lore of Desert Wolves Lore of Eyktolian Flora Raiment Tunic: a loose, flowing shirt of mottled brown and orange cotton, belted at the waist and extending to the knee.
