Kayiri Starweaver

[Kayiri]

Kayiri Starweaver of the Diamond Clan Physical Information Race: Drykas Birthday & Age: Season of Winter, Day 92, 489 AV (23 years old) Gender: Male Physical Description There's not much that serves to set Kayiri apart from your typical Drykas, save his height. Measuring in at six feet two inches, Kayiri is at the upper end of the height spectrum for his people. His weight is representative of this-- he weighs 210 pounds, though the vast majority of this is muscle. Living the entirety of his life on the plains of Endrykas has served to harden Kayiri's skin, leaving it a tough and tan. It has also left its fair share of markings, both intentional and accidental. He has two tattoos; one dances up the length of his right arm, from his wrist to his breast. On his arm, the tattoo is comprised of a tribal pattern, inked in black. However, when it reaches his breast, the seeming randomness of the pattern stops, and it evolves into a clearly defined eagle, beak open towards his sternum. His other tattoo, his windmarks, is situated on his back. It stretches from shoulder to shoulder, and is also comprised of a tribal pattern. Serving as a remainder of the battles he has fought, Kayiri has multiple scars that decorate his features. Running along his right cheekbone, just below the eye, are three scars in the pattern of a Zith's claw marks. The second is on his left flank, a deep gout of pink scar tissue that marks where he was struck by a sword during the same encounter. He has shoulder length, dark brown hair, which he often wears in a ponytail. He keeps this ponytail held back by a leather band, on which elaborate knotwork is carved. Almond-brown eyes He is most usually dressed in a white tunic with a pair of leather breeches, though he will, on occasion, dress more formally. He also owns a set of leather armor, layered in Drykas resin, which he wears when hunting. Character Concept Personality - Kayiri is a very emotional person. Very small things effect him in ways they shouldn't, but he never really looks at it as a weakness, or a strength. He simply looks at it as a part of his essence, what makes him, well, him. He is easily befriended, and trusts far too easy, leading to betrayls, which can be quite childish, all too often. Ethics - He lives by a simple moral code: Take life as it comes at you. Live no regrets. Likes - Kayiri enjoys riding, as most Drykas do, but he especially loves talking to other people. He also loves joking around, Dislikes - Kayiri has an extreme dislike of bushy beards, but a much more logical dislike is that he hates it when good things end, and when he trips over his own words. Also, after his encounter with the Zith in the winter of 509, he finds himself fostering extreme hatred for their race and way of life. Character History Kayiri was born into a Drykas Pavilion on the last day of the year, an omen in his particular Pavilion. Of course, the omen isn't true in the slightest, but it didn't really help his social status growing up. He lived an unremarkable life, living the way so many Drykas before him had, learning to care for their horses, to provide food for their families, etcetera... When he turned 11, there was a severe shortage of food amongst his Pavilion. As expected, the blame fell on the "Omen," because nine plus two equals eleven, and it was the 500th year. Brilliant logic on the part of his clan soon had him exiled. Wandering the plains on foot, he lived off of the rare fruits, vegetables, and meats he could scavenge. Almost a full five months later, he found a Pavilion that required an heir. He was almost instantly adopted into the Pavilion, which probably, in the end, saved his ass. In the fall of 505 AV, he was walking on the outskirts of the camp, thinking as he did so often. A man, leading a pack of Strider whilst riding his own, passed into the camp. One of the Strider slowly lifted it's head, scanning the grassy fields around it. It's eyes then seemed to zero in on Kayiri. It broke from the little trail, much to the surprise of the leader, and slowly trotted over to Kayiri, sniffing him once as if to insepct him, It them nudged his chest, and Kayiri instantly knew it had chosen him. His training began shortly after, and he recieved his wind marks in the forms of his two tattoos. He is now twenty, and he is finished with his most basic training. He recently received his long sword and composite short bow (which he had to pay for) from his village elders and specialists. With them, he seeks to bring honor to his clan. Whilst traveling the paths of Endrykas, he bumped into a woman, going by the name of Hex. She continued to stay with him for a few days, and the pair became good friends. Not long after they met, his prized possession, his bow, was stolen from right under his nose, Hex taking a slash across her back in the process. This did nothing other than insult his Drykas pride. With Hex, he rode off into the night, following her superior senses in search of the bow. They encountered a settlement not Training & Skill Points Skill List: 42 Riding (10 RB + 20 SP) 24 Weapon: Longsword (15 SP) 24 Weapon: Composite Shortbow (15 SP) 7 Storytelling 5 Observation 4 Philosophy 3 Stealth 3 Body Building 3 Horsemanship 2 Unarmed Combat 2 Wilderness Survival 1 Acrobatics 1 Teaching 1 Dancing 1 Singing 1 Medicine 1 Compassion 1 Persuasion 1 Leadership 1 Rhetoric 1 Fletching 1 Interrogation 1 Seduction Earned Skill Points : (My little Pony) +1 Longsword +1 Medicine ------ (Feeling Just Fine) +1 Compassion +1 Persuasion ------ (Lost Bow of The Drykas) +3 Longsword +3 Riding +3 Body Building ------ (Songbirds Sing for Food) +2 Storytelling +1 Dancing +1 Singing ------ (A Furry Friend) +1 Storytelling +1 Leadership ------ (An Upstart in the Classroom) +2 Longsword +2 Observation +1 Teaching ------ (Goodbye, Farewell, Until Another Time) +2 Philosophy +1 Observation ------ (Home from Home) +2 Unarmed Combat +2 Weapon: Longsword +1 Acrobatics +1 Rhetoric ------ (Bolting Horse) +1 Storytelling ------ (Ruby in the Rough) +2 Riding +1 Horsemanship ------ (Axe Marks the Spot) +5 Weapon: Composite Shortbow +1 Fletching +1 Riding ------ (Stalking) +3 Storytelling +1 Stealth +1 Observation ------ (The Fall Hunt: Honorable Pursuits) +4 Weapon: Composite Shortbow +3 Riding +1 Weapon: Longsword +1 Interrogation ------ (Tent Troubles) +2 Horsemanship +2 Wilderness Survival ------ (Cracks in the Glass) +1 Riding ------ (A Date on Horses) +2 Riding +2 Stealth +1 Horsemanship +1 Seduction Lore : Zith Thievery Lore of Din Zith Ambushing Tactics Dance As Stress Reduction Defending One's Life Philosophies Using Music To Bond With Friends Basic Hunting Dog Commands How to Provoke a Young Spirit In Combat Defending Oneself Against Rageful Opponents The Consequences of Teaching with Condescension Calming a Student's Temper Offering Hospitality to an Old Friend A Brooding Kelvic Goat Giving Hope to the Fallen Ensuring The Safety of Friends Ignoring Pain Drykas Manners Eating with Strangers Kelvics (Basic) Rescuing Damsels in Distress What Tebridiar Looks Like Naked The Way of Arrows Don't Forget Your Bracer Sharpening Arrows Competition Makes Things Better The Taste of Victory Epic Rambling!
