Krishpeh’s skin is somewhere between that of his parents, too dark and red to look Vantha, too pale to look Chaktawe. His face is smooth and his features are rather small but well defined. He looks expressionless, no matter what he feels.
He stands tall usually, with markedly good posture. He tends to wear lighter colors, preferably white or light grey when possible. His muscles are well defined and strong, though not particularly large. His body is like that of a runner or dancer.
Character Concept
Krishpeh lives and works alone. He spends most of his time away from people, and as such, he is quite comfortable alone. He was always alone, or nearly so, as he is a mixed breed and so isn’t welcomed into the Vantha holds. He has a very active mind and imagination, and is very philosophic. His time alone gives him time to think and form very strong opinions that can’t be shaken by anything but a very convincing debate. He doesn't worry very much about what others think of him and so will sometimes seems to lack tact—such as voicing his own personal beliefs on how Chaktawe and Vantha religions mix while in the presence of a deeply religious Vantha. He plans carefully much of what he does and can be hesitant to act without a plan.
Krishpeh very much enjoys music. He sees life itself and everything in it as a form of music and tries to learn things with that mindset. It is due to that that he fights so well—he sees combat as a form of dance which is itself a form of music. He also likes to have debates about ethics, religion, and politics, though he rarely finds a willing or able opponent. Outside of debates, he doesn’t make friends easily and generally keeps people at the level of ‘acquaintance’. He has a strong sense of honor and duty, but isn’t quite sure of what his is, and yearns for a chance to find out.
Character History
Pre-Creation – Krishpeh was born to a Vantha mother and a Chaktawe father. He lived with his mother, who died before she could tell him how the marriage between a desert tribesman and a the daughter of a northern hold could have come to be, though he likes to think of her running away from her parents and meeting with his father somewhere between their two domains. This is probably true. It was also implied, though not explained, that his father died in the trip back up to Avanthal while his mother carried him. She taught Krishpeh the Chaktawe stories and ways as well as her own Vantha lore. He was raised in the Snowsong Hold for most of his life, learning how to play his father's fiddle there.
When Krishpeh was fifteen, his mother died of a fever. He spent about a year grieving for her. He nearly became depressed, and decided to leave the familiarly depressing setting of the hold to find his own meaning to life and perhaps meet his father's people. At the soonest opportunity, he found a group to take him away from icy Taldera entirely.
