Vancha Heliconia

[Vancha Heliconia]

Vancha Heliconia

Race: Symenestra
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Birthday: 12th of Summer 495AV
Birthplace: Kalinor

Appearance: Standing at 6"4 Vancha towers over most that he knows. His slender frame combined with his height makes for a very elongated and out of proportion body.

Shoulder length silver hair which has become increasingly scruffy over the years since leaving Kalinor is kept swept back or tied up depending on his situation. After leaving his luxuries behind in Kalinor his complexion has remained remarkably fair even with his spouts of living rough throughout the years.

His blood red eyes can be seen gleaming especially well in the dark. Non Symmenestra tend to be wary considering his abnormal and creepy appearance wrongfully assigning negative traits onto him. He keeps his clothes well kept and tends to roam without shoes to allow for easier use of his claws and believes it to be more natural.

✨Character Concept✨

Vancha travelled to Syka for a few reasons, he has always longed for the days where Symmenestra didn't have to hide away in the caves of Kalinor. He grew up hearing stories of when they inhabited the jungles of Falyndar and had always dreamed of visiting the home of his ancestors.

A few years back Vancha heard news from a trader visiting Kalinor that a new human settlement had been erected in the area it was that moment he decided wanted to be apart of it hoping he could encourage more Symmenestra to follow in his footsteps.

✨Character History✨

Born and raised in Kalinor this is where Vancha has spent the majority of his life. It was a fairly standard upbringing for a Symmenestra. He was the 3rd of 3 sons All of which were very similar in age with only 2 months between Vincent and Duros and 4 years between them and Vancha. He was the little brother and Duros and Vincent were very protective over him. They taught Vancha almost all he knows.

Vincent would always take him hunting with him and taught him the basics of handling a bow although never actually letting him use it while hunting. Duros had a fascination with plants and flora. He had a natural talent in making medicinal tinctures out of seemingly anything. Through watch him Vancha learned that different herbs had different properties that would affect the body in various ways such as pain relief and aid in sleeping.

Being the 3rd born son very few responsibilities fell on him. When Vancha was 21 years old his eldest brother Vincent departed on a harvest and has not been heard from since. The Middle brother Duros went on to become very respected amongst theirs and a few neighbouring webs. Many including Vancha would go to him for advice. It was Duros who eventually swayed Vancha on leaving the web to pursue his goals and search for any news on Vincent.

Vancha knew one of the traders who visited regularly quite well and knew he was due back to Kalinor within the next few weeks. Syka wasn't terribly far away but he knew it was a journey he wouldn't survive by himself. He had no idea how to get by, by himself in the jungle. From what he knew it would be completely different to the forests that surround Kalinor. Regardless in the weeks leading up to his departure he would take every opportunity he would get to venture out into the wilds to improve his skills.

As expected within the next few weeks the traders caravan arrived and agreed to take Vancha along with them to Syka, providing he was able to pull his weight and contribute along the journey and they assured him they would get him through the jungles as safely as possible.
