Naos

[Naos]

Basic Information: Race: Ethaefal Birthday & Age: Fell in 507 AV, doesn't know age Gender: Male Physical Description: When Syna's presence graces Mizahar, Naos retains his fallen Ethaefal form. A bit over 6 feet, his slender figure accents a calm and tranquil disposition rarely seen among those fallen from the Ukalas, while his black hair and green eyes accent his pale complexion. If he had to guess, Naos would assume he weighs somewhere in the neighbourhood of 145 lbs. What most notice about him, though, is a warm smile the Ethaefal wears nearly everywhere he goes. However, once Leth takes over Syna's celestial duties, his appearance rapidly changes. in his past life, Naos was a Chaktawe of the Kalanue tribe, with unusually light hair and blue eyes -- a fact that caused many to distrust the young man. In his mortal form, Naos has a much darker complexion, as well as a focused look that comes as a result of years and years of living in the desert. His height and weight remain mostly the same, and the young man often wears long robes and fabrics familar to his past life. Character Concept: A calm and collected figure, Naos is extremely introverted and prefers the solace of quills and paper to fellow souls. He often frequents old stores full of trinkets others find worthless, and decorates his small apartment with these fragments that call out to him in some way even he cannot describe. All he retains from his past life are foggy memories and an odd aptitude for reading the auras surrounding him, but Naos prefers it that way. To remember all the glory of the Ukalas he has now been separated from would surely drive him mad. As it stands, he remains hopeful yet realistic of one day returning to the embrace of his deity. In his mortal form, Naos' outlook quickly changes. Reminded of how easily his celestial form can disappear, he often becomes very temperamental and sensitive. Less relaxed, he often has a very intent attitude and becomes impatient quickly if obstacles present themselves -- confusing the few that have seen him in both forms.

Character History: When the Valterrian broke out and the heavens seemed to shatter, Naos escaped the fate of those that first fell to the newly shaped world. He was safe, he thought. Unfortunately, fate had other plans in store for the Chaktawan. Although he rode out the worst of the Valterrian, Naos eventually fell into Mizahar's roaring oceans in 507 AV. Cold and without a single soul in sight, the fallen celestial washed up on the western shores of the Suvan Sea. Heading towards the nearest settlement he could find, Naos ended up in the city of illusions, Alvadas. Memories, like a distant fog, plagued Naos' mind for the first few years of his descent into the realm of mortality. Often he would wake up in the middle of the night in a fit of incoherent fear, shouting and crying at nothing in particular. What the Ethaefal felt most, though, was an overwhelming sense of abandonment. Abandonment by his goddess, by the mortals around him, and most of all by himself. Sadness began to wash over him like the waves he had fallen in, and the only cure seemed to be drink. As time went on, Naos looked for solutions more often in ale tankards than within himself. It didn't so much dull the pain as it did help him forget, but it soon became a poison. A lowly drunkard, Naos wandered the streets taking any charity a kind soul would toss his way, but it wasn't enough. Charity can only go so far, and less of it started coming as more people became fed up with feeding an invalid. The alcohol he imbibed did little to fix his overall situation, and eventually even Naos hated himself for drinking, but he couldn't seem to stop. Countless nights spent sleeping in the streets, paired with the nightmares and the alcohol quickly brought the fallen soul to the brink of madness -- while his body limped on working to try and keep him alive. Cheap ale works wonders at destroying a healthy body, and the marks quickly began to show. Wrinkles appearing on a figure so young, sunken eyes brought up from a lack of rest, impaired mobility from the constant dampening of his nervous system, all signs of the burdens he bore just to try and erase his memories. It was worse when he didn't even try to sleep. Seeing himself as he was in his mortal life did more to damage him than all the ale and cheap sins Alvadas could provide, it ground away his resistance to even breath. His breaking point came several winters later, when he had run out of good will to cash in on. Without the occasional warmth of a hearth or a hot drink, Naos was beginning to get sick from the cold of night. On the brink of death, laying down unable to move aside from the occasional grunt, an unexpected miracle happened. The pavement around him began to warm up, and Naos felt an incredible wave of warmth wash over his entire body. Suddenly he felt as if he could move, and he saw the sun shining much brighter than usual, as if it had suddenly focused on a tiny circle around him. Realizing what had just happened, he began to cry uncontrollably, finally understanding that Syna continued to watch over him, even though distance now separated them. Although his old life might have been stolen from him, wasting one life would not bring back another. Perhaps his falling might not have been planned, but fate had sent him to the realm of the mortals for a reason -- and Naos refuses to leave before fulfilling the role the universe has set him up to play. Since then, life has smiled upon him. In Alvadas, he felt inspired by the nature around him and began spending more and more time in the Garden of No Return. Although many an afternoon was lost inside of its intricate beauty, Naos found a passion for the flora around him. Such an organism that could grow on just sunlight, some water, and air showed without a doubt the power of Syna and her followers. Even with a single touch of his hand plants rapidly grew and expanded. Without any extra money to spare on teachers, he had to resort to books to learn more about the science of herbalism. Currently, the young man is looking for any jobs that might get him more food and books. Flectere si nequeo superos, Acheronta movebo

Hello there!

I'm Crosspatch, one of the friendly CS Liaisons on Mizahar! I've been looking over your Character Sheet, and I have noticed some minor issues that need to be resolved and fixed. Sadly these need to be done before you can continue roleplaying, so let's take a look at them shall we?

• Even if your PC does not know it, you must supply a Date of Birth (or Fall in this case). This must include a day, season and year. More information can be found on the Mizahar Calendar.
• You may wish to add the colouration of Naos' horns and hair while in his Ethaefal form as they reflect the season - See the Ethaefal lore for more information.
• While if you read the main text you can tell, can you please state your PC's mortal seeming form somewhere clearly.
• Chaktwae hair is black and only lightens to white with old age. If you wish to have a different hair colouration you will have either dye it (and pay for the dye), pick a different race or seek special permission.
• Divine intervention from your history - i.e. the focusing of a tiny circle of light all around him to warm him up - would require special permission.
• As a note, the houses in Alvadas come with a key which acts as a sort of compass that tugs the possessor of the key in the direction of the house which the key belongs to (It would be best described as two magnets attracting each other) - See Alvadas CS template.
• Just an aesthetic consideration, your CS template is very wide and requires side scrolling to obtain all the information. Maybe a narrower top image header would solve this?

Once these problems have been dealt with, drop me a PM and I'll remove this intervention and approve your CS for you. Also if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask and I'll do my best to answer!
