History:
Shakah was born to a Chaktawe mother, and a Human father. His father had been studying in the desert and happened upon a dying Chaktawe that was still clinging to life. With one of the healers in the trade caravan he'd come with, they nursed her back to health. They took to each other and returned to Zeltiva. A year or so later, Shakah was born.
Around the age of eight, he started to learn about his mother's fascination for art, as she was of the Tatsuwaat tribe. He took to it quickly, and began to study different arts as he could. The simplicity of carving, and the power of music would fascinate him the most.
Shakah's father, a talented user of Reimancy, tried to teach him from a young age, much to his mistake. At the age of ten, Shakah was practicing moving a gentle breeze, and quickly gave into the power, not understanding what he was doing. Fortunately he was stopped before serious damage was done, but he'd gone too far, and there seems to be a constant stirring of the air around him.
Around the age of twelve, he picked up the harmonica, and started to practice. He had no idea how to read or write music, however, with time, he started to develop his skills. By fifteen, he'd discovered that he felt it was easiest to concentrate and let his mind wander while he played, though this made him more prone to mistakes until he started picking up patterns.
Around fifteen, his mother loaned him a carving knife to try his own art. This was among his favorite time he spent with her. This was also when she taught him basic swordsmanship. From the way he pursued the arts though, she figured he may never need it in the city, so he never went beyond the basics.
From the ages of eighteen to twenty, he bounced around in housing, not really able to start on his own. Eventually he moved back in with his parents, and finally once more at twenty three, with some gold from his parents, and a small home, he decided to try and build his life. He just needed to find some way to survive.
Personality:
Shakah is a bit talkative when he opens up. He wants to pursue his magic skills, however he has pushed himself too far once already, and has become much more cautious in using them to the point of almost fear. He loves wood carving, however is unsure if it is a career he should pursue. He took to his mother's love of the arts from a young age. A friendly sort once you get to know him, however he's careful when it comes to trusting people right away. He plays music when he wants to think. He's been warned about the dangers of some other races, however he is generally curious about them and is prone to staring at the very different races.
Ethics:
Favors good over evil, and right over wrong. He's learned that the world isn't so black and white since he moved into his small home. It's a strange world, and so knows to try and judge situations accordingly.
