Krisha of the Tempered Steel
Race: Myrian Age: 55 Position: Taloban Outfitter Skills: Blacksmithing 25, Longsword 10, Leatherworking 10, Leadership 5 Other: A fit and muscular woman, befitting a blacksmith, Krisha is the proud mother of three outstanding examples of Myrian females...then Tinnok, and her only son Rarik. Mostly she discounts the latter two, focusing in on the three that are truly the treasures of her coal black eyes. Working in the military complex as a smith and impromptu task mistress, Krisha's life is one of toil and labor, rarely leaving her time to return to the Tempered Steel longhouses, but she doesn't mind. After all, a Tempered Steel's home is as much the barracks as it is a hut in the wilds.
Reina of the Tempered Steel
Race: Myrian Age: 30 Position: Fang Leader, Tiger Rider Skills: Shortbow 10, Long Spear 15, Riding (Tiger) 20, Leadership 5 Other: The eldest child of Krisha, Reina is a stunning example of Myrian prowess. A beautiful dark beauty, and all the more feral atop her male Myrian Tiger, Krole, Reina is a ruthless leader, and a ferocious hunter. Deciding to shirk the role of Tempered Steel acting as foot soldiers and crafts people, Reina aimed for the top of the ladder, and sought to bond with a Myrian Tiger. After a long stint in the jungle, and a life devoted to Myri and Navre, Reina and Vespar both returned with tigers, and though her younger sister was content with her role, Reina soon rose up to her fang leader, gaining notoriety around the complex. She holds her younger brother Rarik in some distaste, seeing him as the male that sundered their mother's womb before her darling Kinai could be bored, but sees Tinnok as an abomination that should have been culled long ago.
Vespar of the Tempered Steel
Race: Myrian Age: 28 Position: Tiger Rider Skills: Wilderness Survival 10, Shortbow 15, Hunting 10, Riding (Tiger) 15 Other: Where Reina is headstrong, confident, and vicious, Vespar is the tactical, thoughtful other side. The sisters, who most take for twins, are nigh inseparable, which goes for their mounts as well, who appear to be brothers. Vespar does not hold the same disdain for her brother and half sister as the rest of her family, and perhaps even her entire clan, but it has taken a length of time for her to reveal this to anyone, least of all Tinnok.
Rarik of the Tempered Steel
Race: Myrian Age: 21 Position: Scout Skills: Longbow 30, Stealth 10, Wilderness Survival 5, Hunting 5 Other: Rarik's personality is surprisingly upbeat and cheerful for the family of women in which he was raised. Due to his rather despondent upbringing, his skills, not surprisingly, deal a lot with sneaking, hunting, and scouting, tasks that could separate him from his family for extended periods of time. Unlike the rest of the Tempered Steel, Rarik actively seeks out his loner sister in the Jungle Wilds, and is one of the most apt members to survive long enough in the wilds to do it.
Kinai of the Tempered Steel
Race: Myrian Age: 16 Position: Student Skills: Kama 15, Shortbow 15, Bladed Whip 10, Dagger 10 Other: Still a child by Myrian standards, Kinai already shows a great mastery of any weapons her clan chooses to throw at her, and is a dedicated and agile student, stubborn and determined in anything she tries to accomplish. Despite this her personality severely reflects the babied status (or as babied as a Myrian child can be) as the youngest of Krisha's brood, and Krisha is constantly making new weapons and armor for her young daughter to practice in, so acute is her devotion to the whirling dervish that she is.
Kohl of the Sinking Stone
Race: Myrian Age: 47 Position: Tskanna Trainer Skills: Animal Husbandry 20, Herbalism 10, Battleaxe 20, Other: Kohl is Krisha's long term mate, the father of Rarik and Kinai, and the closest thing the three youngest of Krisha's, have ever had to a paternal figure. As quiet and thoughtful as Krisha is opinionated and bold, it is of no surprise to see how well Kohl trains and cares for the Tskanna of Taloba, and subsequently amazing how well he can handle the cherry red Kohl's of his mate's fury.
Trinia of the Tempered Steel
Race: Myrian Age: 82 Position: Clan Matriarch Skills: Fortune Telling 15, Leadership 15, Tactics 10, Auristics 10 Other: Old and wise to the ways of her enemies and allies, Trinia always provides a level head and a clear voice when deciding issues within the Tempered Steel. It was her hand that preserved Tinnok's life, for reasons still unknown the the half breed, and Trinia is a woman of great respect to the clan, proving herself time and time again over the decades. |
