Alynshi

[Alynshi]

 Name: Alynshi  Race: Chaktawe  Age: 90th day of Spring, 492 AV (19)  Gender: Female Languages: Tawna(fluent), Common(basic), Arumenic(poor),  [b]Physical Description: Alynshi isn’t unattractive, but she’s not insanely pretty either. Alynshi has full, peachy-pink lips, her bottom lip larger than the top. Her eyes are a deep chocolate almost black. Her black hair is dangerously close to a deep brown, and has a natural curl to the end of it. Her hair is moderately long, as she believes that extremely long hair just gets in her way, and often is accessorized with a collection of blue, black, and silver feathers she has found over the years. She belongs to the Suli tribe, often having a white band painted across her eyes.  Alynshi is not remarkably tall, but she isn’t quite short either at 5’8. Alynshi is fairly solid, with a flat stomach, lightly defined arm and leg muscles, and her shoulders are medially spread apart. She weighs a solid 132 pounds, but when the special organ all Chaktawe have is full of water she gains around 2-4 pounds. She has been on the move for her entire life, packing things and walking or running everywhere, allowing her to be fit.  Character Concept (Optional But Recommended)  Personality : Alynshi is a happy, cheerful girl with cowardly tendencies. She enjoys company, whether it’s friends, strangers, and family alike. Alynshi cannot mentally stand the thought of being completely alone, just the thought terrifies her. The Searching was a living nightmare for her, and she almost lost her mind while doing it. She is a huge scatterbrain, and rarely manages to take all of her belongings with her when her tribe is on the move. She was indeed intended to be an Abayla, and was extremely good at telling stories for the first time. After the second time, the stories often had already fled her mind, eventually making her Abayla training end.  Alynshi is cowardly in battle, yet she manages somehow to maintain an optimistic attitude. If she is attacked with a friend, she simply cheers on the friend, saying optimistic things rather than actually assisting them. She isn’t very handy with weapons, and a situation has never come that she has ever been forced to fight for her life. She fears the day that that situation will come greatly.  Ethics: Due to living a tribal desert life for the first 17 years of her life, Alyshi still thinks of water as a precious resource and doesn't enjoy swimming in it or having her body completely submerged in water(unless for the purpose of bathing). She also believes that killing black birds is wrong, and brings bad luck from Eywaat. Not only does she think that whoever kills the black bird gains bad luck, but anybody near them does as well. She freaks smoothly out if she is ever with anybody who kills a black bird for this reason. Alyshi also believes that it is her duty to make others happy and keep them happy, which is why she attempts to be optimistic at all times.  Likes – Alynshi is fond of birds and foxes above all other animals, especially foxes. She also enjoys creating clothing and accessories, and cooking. Alynshi likes the heat, which she once constantly had to live in, and she enjoys listening to music and attempting to dance and sing. She especially likes feathers as a fashion over all other things, and wears feathers as often as she can.  Dislikes- Alynshi hates being alone, as she literally cannot handle it. She has a huge dependency on other people. Alynshi also hates cactus with a fiery passion, as she often finds one stuck in her side or scraping her face, legs, or arms. Alynshi will run into any cactus within a 1 mile radius of her it seems. Alynshi also hates people who are dark and rude. She claims that they ruin all of her work put towards making people feel happy.[/color]  Character History  Pre-Creation History:  Alynshi was born on the 22th day of Spring in 492 to her parents Unshi, her father, and Pakosha, her mother. She was called Pakoshapa until she turned four, when the first of her younger siblings, Janli, was born. This was when she was dubbed Alynshi, often called ShiShi as a nickname. From birth, Alynshi’s parents noticed that the little girl was always happy and in good spirits around people, but if she was left alone the child would let out loud, desperate and terrified cries. Alyshi was able to talk a in full sentences a little after she turned 1. Her mother, being of Abayla bloodline, knew that she would be a phenomenal storyteller. She began to teach her daughter at the age of 5 to tell stories, but soon found that the young child was forgetful and would rather focus her attention of playing with other small children around the camp and play with sticks and feathers instead of storytelling. Still, she was taken in for official Abayla training and after a matter of weeks banned from ever telling any sacred stories.  Upon the prelude to her searching, Alyshi was silent. This greatly worried all around her, for she was never quiet for long, and during the prelude ritual she could barely manage to mumble out what it was that she was seeking. “To always bring happiness to others.” She muttered slowly and quietly.  Upon her being temporarily banned from the tribe, Alyshi rarely moved from the one spot she had found on top of a rock, facing an oasis that Eypharians would occasionally visit and stare at the painted white Chaktawe. This was possibly one saving factor to Alyshi; being able to see people. The Searching did help her gain what she was seeking, the girl now is even more dependent on people and will go to insane lengths to keep them happy. It also gave her an immense interest in other races.  Alyshi was 17 when she was out with a close friend whom was attacked by a Eypharian Jackal pair. The friend had invited Alyshi to go hunting with him, and she accepted. Upon the attack of the animals, Alyshi let out a large scream and jumped away, leaving the friend to fend for himself as she yelled encouraging words from behind a rock. He barely managed to fight them off by himself, and Alyshi had to use the little training in healing she had been taught by her mother to mend some of his wounds. She quickly returned him to camp, and though the friend was forgiving to ShiShi, she never forgave herself. She wanted to avoid being attacked herself, and has trained hard to become better in camouflage to spare her from being attacked herself. Alyshi's camouflage training is one of the reasons why she is no longer with the Suli tribe. She was training dangerously close to an Eypharian oasis with a friend, and she slipped and fell directly into the pool of cool water. This attracted Eypharian attention, and the girl was taken and thrown into prison to be executed. An Eypharian took a liking to her, and managed to take her out of prison with him out of Eyktol, all the way into Syliras. He left soon after, as he was a merchant and the only reason why he was in Syliras was trade purposes. On the way, he taught the Chaktawe ways to improve upon her sewing ability, and gave her very little training in riding. The merchant also managed to teach her more of the common language then she already knew, as he could speak the Chaktawe language. The 18 year old Chaktawe finds herself in an odd world now, without any friends and very little of anything, and in a city where mostly likely nobody can speak her language.  Alyshi has no current goals other than making people happy and gaining friends.  Post Creation _ What happened to your PC in game as you play them.  Training & Skill Points (Required)  Starting Package:  Camoflauge: 16/100(+10 Racial Bonus)  Cooking: 11/100  Storytelling: 10/100  Cosmetology: 6/100  Sewing: 12/100  Seduction: 5/100 Horsemanship: 1/100 Birdkeeping: 1/100  Earned Skill/Points:  Horsemanship +1; Birdkeeping +1  Lores:  Lore of Sewing Clothing from Feathers  Lore of Camouflage Basic Lore of the Inarta People  Equipment/Possessions (Required)  Starting Package:  1 Brown Feather Dress  1 Black Feather Coat  1 Pair of Leather Moccasin Boots  1 Waterskin  1 Set of Toiletries  Food for a Week  1 eating Knife  Flint and Steel 1 Feather Hairpiece (Heirloom) 1 large tent (4 person), large tarp 100 ft of rope lantern 2 torches bedroll blanket fishing tackle & hooks 1 Eyktolian Desertbred (Jasha) full set of tack large set of saddlebags  Ledger  100 Gold Mizas -10 GM for Raven -1 GM for Cage ______________ 89 GM  Thread List 

Thread List Heading Home[Alynshi] Thread with Emory Ruin Alynshi meets 21-year-old Eagle-Riding Inarta Emory Ruin, and plans to travel back with her to Wind Reach. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Friends, Family, and Animals Alynshi's Horse Alynshi's horse, still unnamed as of the moment, is a 3-year-old trained Filly, who was given to her as a gift from Kappa, the Eypharian who saved her from execution. The horse is an Eyktolian Desertbred, with a solid chestnut coloring broken by its black mane and one white and black sock on its two left legs. The horse has yet to be ridden by Alynshi, nor does she know how to ride it, but the horse seems to understand the Tawna language and not the common. This makes it difficult for anybody that cannot speak Tawna to ride it after stealing it, or for anybody to ride it that cannot speak Tawna. The horse has a gentle soul and is not very wiley, and is not easily startled or scared. The horse doesn't mind carrying heavy loads or two riders, and can run for around 11 hours before it needs to drink water again. Alynshi's Raven Alynshi's Raven was purchased in Syliras at The Tooth and The Claw for 11 gold rimmed mizas. Alynshi, who had no experience in falconry at the time, bought it with only the intention of a companion who could occasionally give her some of her favorite kind of feathers. The raven, a male bird about the age 6 months, is fully trained for falconry and takes up residence currently in a medium sized cage. His back feathers give off an odd blue luminescent-like glow, and that fact attributes to why Alynshi chose it in the first place. Alynshi went with the smaller raven over a falcon or hawk as a sort of tie to her people who worship Eywaat the God of birds, his symbol being that of a black bird. Pakosha One of the most beautiful women in Alynshi's tribe, Paksosha is of the Abayla bloodline and has long since completed her training, she commonly could be found telling stories to those in her tribe and is noted as one of the better Abayla still alive in the Suli tribe. The woman, aged at 37 years old, is only 18 years older than her daughter. She had Alynshi at the age of 18, to her husband Unshi. Being the phenomenal storyteller she is, it was no surprise that her first child also had the talent for it, but a great let down to her that Alynshi was unable to remember them. She never truly forgave Alynshi for letting her down, but she still loves her eldest daughter dearly. Unshi A strong hunter in the Suli tribe, the 40 year-old Unshi had a little gender disappointment when his first child was born. Nevertheless, he still loved his first child, never to the point of making her a 'daddy's girl', and often would carry her out of the tent at night to sit with her under the stars. He met Pakosha when she was only 10 and had befriended her from that point on, and married her when she was 17. Now the father of 5 children, 3 of which are sons, he is a happy man. Janli Janli, younger than his sister by 4 years at the age of 15, looks easily her equal in age(and possibly older). A headstrong boy, he rarely does anything he has set his mind against and completely disregards anything authority figures may say about not doing it. Protective of his older sister, he harassed any boy who tried to get close to Alynshi, a rather annoying fact for the girl. Nashi, Nodak, and Nipuba Nashi, the 8 year old second girl born to Pakosha, is much more responsible than her elder sister already. Quite the happy, cheerfull and obedient girl, she's every parent's dream of a child. Too bad her twin brothers, Nodak and Nipuba, are nightmares. Nodak and Nipuba, twin 6 year old brothers, are quite the handfuls. They scream constantly, bang and knock over things, and bite. Greedy little beings, they often eat most of the food before it's even completely cooked and take turns harassing both their parents and elder siblings. Kappa Kappa, a 23-year-old Eypharian merchant who stumbled upon Alynshi while visiting the jail, took a liking to her and eventually kidnapped her from her cell and put her into his wagon. While transporting her away from Eyktol, he fell in love with her, though he never told her this, and would most likely die for her during the trip. Alynshi took a loving interest in him as well, and the night before they reached Syliras she nearly lost her virginity to him. He managed to drop the girl off in Syliras, but not before kissing her in her sleep and leaving her a horse to ride, and left unhappily. His crime is still currently unknown of, and he still vows to see Alynshi again before he dies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Spiritual beliefs Alynshi, being Chaktawe, has always had religion in her life. Makutsi and Eywaat are the main religious figures in Alynshi's life, though more prominently so in the case of Eywaat. Alynshi feels as if Eywaat occasionally sends her signs and is watching her, and though she does not know if this is true or not, is comforted by the thought. During her Searching, her company was often desert crows, fueling this liking for Eywaat. In opposition to Makutsi, who is goddess of bodies of water(which are unliving), Eywaat is god of a living thing. Alynshi always has had a fascination with birds, and almost a spiritual bond with them. Her father Unshi owned a bird named Chakpuj, who was a raven and Alynshi often would wear his fallen feathers and sit and watch the bird when it was not out hunting with her father. Not only that, but Alnshi is attracted to those with ingenuity and often can show the quality from her own actions. For this reason she favors Eywaat over Makutsi, and the fact that she harbors a very deep respect for the goddess that is deeper than hers for Eywaat. She believes water to be a sacred thing, thus making the Goddess all the more worthy of respect. She also takes the time to honor the goddess Semele when seeing something particularly beautiful that is of the earth and rock, and Caiyha when she sees something that would fit better under her category of things. Alynshi believes the earth to be a beautiful, majestic place and holds the same, if not deeper, respect for both Semele and Caiyha that she has for Makutsi. if seeing any particularly beautiful gemstone or mountain or the like, she's often known to say "Blessed by Semele, give thanks." In Tawna, and the same for forests or flowers, but replacing Semele with Caiyha.
