Kelski
Physical Appearance:
Because she has been unbonded for so long in her life, Kelski often passes easily for an unusual human so long as she doesn't look anyone in the eyes. Her steel grey gaze often makes people uncomfortable and clues them in that something isn't right about her. Her coloring seems to reinforce that fact. Kelski has an incredibly porcelain hue to her skin. To say she was white would be an understatement. She looks like she never gets sun at all even though she loves being outside under Syna's rays.
Her hair is down to her hips and naturally falls in loose full curls. Its rich black color fades to white in certain strands, giving her hair an ombre affect. Kelski has wide expressive silver eyes that sometimes look blue in the right light. Her eyes are ringed with thick black lashes and what looks like an overuse of kohl though it is her natural coloring and not cosmetics. Her lips are darkly toned, almost black, and the coloring carries to her mucus membranes in her mouth, nose, and other body parts. Sometimes she dabs cosmetics on her lips to hide the unusual coloring that tends to look slightly blue in certain light. Kelski rarely laughs or talks with her mouth open. The inside of her mouth is blackish grey that often reads more blue. It is not a sickly color but more of a natural deep stain akin to the coloring some dog breeds have.
It is an unusual coloring that will often give her away as Kelvic and clue the observer into the fact that she isn't human. Kelski is naturally fit with a body that is corded with muscle. Her arms are defined due to the long hours she spends in the air and training with her daggers. She is also an avid runner and her leg muscles reflect that. She moves with animal grace and it shows in how her body is put together. Lacking excess fat, her waist is small and her legs are long. She has enough chest that no one would think she was anything but female, but that is about the extent of her assets. Kelski likes to dress in black and white leather, ombre dresses, and unusual clothes that play up her unusual coloring.
As a Sea Eagle, Kelski weighs ten pounds and has wingspan of over seven feet. Her body has a white head, rump and underparts, with a black back and wings. While soaring, her black flight feathers on the wings are easily seen and identified from below. Her large, hooked bill is a leaden blue-grey with a darker tip, and her eyes are bright grey. Her cere is also lead grey almost black. Her legs and feet are grey with wicked long black talons. Her Sea Eagle form lends her to be territorial, monogamous, and an opportunistic carnivore that consumes a wide variety of animal prey, including carrion.
Character Concept:
Kelski is a loner by nature. She is a quiet soft spoken woman with a rather strong will. Kelski is opinionated, but rarely forms that opinion until she feels she knows enough about the subject to do so.
She loves research and learning. She has a tendency to say what she thinks. Kelski often gives off a vibe that drives people away because it usually reads 'I don't need anyone." The truth is simply that even though her Kelvic animal is a formidable predator in its own right, she does need people and actively seeks a bondmate. She simply hasn't found the right person yet. So to cover her loneliness and uncertainty she builds a rough facade about her that reads diamond cold. She often throws herself into her work, not letting anyone tell her that she can't do what she wants or have any career she wants. The Kelvic knows she can. Well into her second year of life, Kelski has never been bonded and is starting to feel like she never will. But, being Kelvic, Kelski has none of the natural hangups most human females have.
Character History:
Kelski grew up believing she was born on the first of spring during the great djed storm of 512. That was a lie, however, and she is considerably younger than she first thought. Being Kelvic, dates meant nothing to her so in her younger years, she thought perhaps she just hadn't noticed a few years passed that hadn't actually passed. Born in 514 instead, Kelski was born of a prominent line of reclusive mages who had a rather pronounced reputation in Sylira for being powerful seekers of knowledge and vicious defenders of they and theirs. The K'etir family was known to walk hand in hand with the Damazar family. As a child, Kelski was promised to an elder Damazar son if she was birthed a female Kelvic of an appropriate long life. Being a female raptor, both families rejoiced and the contract was made. However, before Kelski could grow out of infancy, she was snatched from the cradle of her opulant birth and traded into slavery.
Having been sold in Alvadas - as far away from Sylira as was comfortable - the merchant who purchased her was told she was a Svefra born without a Laviku mark and cursed with silver eyes instead of blue. So the enemies of the K'etir family sold the youngest K'etir into slavery under a false story.
Unlike most babies, Kelski was different. She remembered her mother and father's faces and the smell of them. Lost to her were their names, of course, and the origins of her birth. She took the story her new owner told her at face value and believed it. She still thinks she can hear their voices and would know their touch anywhere.
Her new owner was a snake oil salesman at heart though a respectable jeweler by trade, greedy and neglectful. Once purchased, Kelski was promptly caged. Those early years were hard on Kelski and she doesn't like to talk about them. But as she grew she had incredibly good eyesight both far-flung and up close so her owner taught her a trade. She learned to do delicate work with her fingers that allowed her to cut gemstones and make jewelry. The more she worked the more he bothered to feed her. And when she grew old enough to shapeshift, he forbid her from doing so because her animal was of no use to him and slightly scared him. So the more violent he got the more withdrawn and independent she became.
He was abusive, restrictive, and responsible for a number of unspeakable things in Kelski's young life. He sold her virginity to a high bidder in order to pay off drinking and gambling debts, then thereafter periodically loaned her out for the same reason. He even began using her afterward himself, counting her unwilling favors a payment of sort for food and shelter. Kelski's life grew worse the older she got as his slave. She eventually acquired a reputation as aggressive and dangerous, so it limited the men her first master sold her time too and drove him from her bed. His drinking and gambling grew worse, and he was gone hours and hours and then days away from their home and his work.
One day he simply did not come home. Days passed and she grew famished. Afraid to leave because of the beatings that would come with the punishments, Kelski grew desperate and finally took her forbidden Kelvic form and went to look for food.
Food was acquired and curiosity grew in her to know what happened to her owner. She wasn't attached to him but rather attached to the idea that not knowing an answer was worse than not ever asking a question. She just needed to know. And in searching for that answer, caught Akajia's attention and received a mark by the Goddess of Night. It was all the reassurance she needed in life to say she wasn't an owned thing, but someone who owned her own life.
She never came back after that. Freedom was as easy as that. The iron collar around her neck was nothing more than fear, not anything real or substantial. She took to the skies and stayed for a season or two in her eagle form, learning to fly and to take care of herself. She grew strong, tough, and independent with a lack of trust in people because they had fists and other body parts that could wound worse than words.
So her life consisted of a few years of slavery and a year of freedom. Now, older and driven by the need to bond even if she herself hasn't acknowledged it, Kelski has finally sought a city to settle in and naturally picked one up near the stars. Eventually, after a time she came to Lhavit, learned the jewelry trade herself, and was ahppy for a year. Then, in a storm she lost her freedom due to soaked feathers and a fall from the sky. The Svefra that fished her out of the sea, put her in chains and she was eventually sold to the Sun's Birth in Sunberth.
There, she worked her way up through the dregs of Sunberth's society from slave to a successful free business woman. She gained friends, wealth, and met Dessarian who knew her true history. Once free and satisfied with her business and skillset, she picked up roots and moved to the wilderness where she ended up bonding with the original man destined to own her from birth.
Special Attributes:
Kelski is one of those unfortunate Kelvics that cannot pass for human easily. She has unusual pigmentation to her mucus membrane tissues including her mouth, inner nose, and genitals. Her hair is an ombre black and white and her eyes are a steel grey. Her skin is incredibly pale, almost pure white. If she uses cosmetics, powders her skin, and dyes her hair she could pass for human if she didn't open her mouth or talk to where they could see her features.
