Physical Description Having spent most of his life abord ships, Tiernan build is not that of say, a warrior. No, he has no amazing muscles or outstanding biceps, and he only has a four-pack due to the extensive physical maintenance of sailing a ship and a life time of swimming. Tiernan stands slightly under six feet tall, weighing roughly 200 lbs. He has an unruly mop of brown hair with mixed blond highlights which he usually keeps shaggy but short.
Tiernan is no stranger to misleading words and intentional misdirection, choosing to avoid openness and clarity in his dealings. To those who do not know him, he seems aloof, not welcoming approach or friendship, but this is just a facade. On the contrary: he's fairly charismatic, and can draw attention when he desires it. On the inside he is obsessed with accumulating power; to triumph over his insecurities by becoming the most powerful thing in his environment. One could say he enjoys causing trouble; one could also point out that he simply goes and does where and whatever strikes his fancy, and doesn't consider the consequences unless they apply directly to him. He himself holds a high standard for himself, which make him guard his heart from others.
Respect is given to those who have titles, but in his opinion a part must be earned personally, and even those he respects most will not be given the benefit of lightened words when he is being critical. Tiernan was born in a "go with the flow" type of world, but he was always critical of himself, and that every mistake, no matter how minor, weighed on him heavily. He grew up believing that the life style his family was accustom to was too chaotic, and so he began to practice the arcane to grow strong and protect the people closest to his guarded heart. When roused to action, he becomes as chaotic as the sea. At one moment he might be calm, then suddenly furious due to any small factor that may spark his temper. He grows aggravated when people are blunt rather than subtle.
Character History
Born- The Northern Suvan Sea aboard a ship in Glasswater Bay near Alvadas
Tiernan's father was a fisherman by trade and artist by hobby. His mother was by trade a fisherman's wife who with skill in summoning, used lesser creatures to pull some of the work load they had. His father taught him everything about boats, art, and about life. It was his father who taught him the basics of Astronomy, to use starts to navigate the sea should he ever get lost. This skill seemed to fit hand in hand with the arcane skills his mother taught him. HIs art skills spooled over into drying summoning circles with his mother. HIs lessons in astronomy with his father allowed him to understand the complexities of Astral coordinates when summoning allowing him to memories the coordinates to common worlds. His childhood became defined by separate lessons his parents offered yet, at the end of the day all he leaned had come full circle.
It wasn't until he began to study Reimancy when he was thirteen years old that he started too become a quiet, brooding type of guy. Turning into a kid that sat and watch everyone having fun rather than join in himself. He just wished to expand his intreats in more complex theories and magics. He began to pays attention to his surroundings and the details, such as who was there at the time, what did go on, how they reacted and so forth. It was a silent stage of his life that he never truly grew out of.
At the age of seventeen he was given his own Casinor by his father, and has since lived with the Swiftriver pod. Occasionally leaving the group to explore as he saw fit. He values family traditions and tries to up hold them as much as he can.
Marked individuals can first and foremost spot Otani readily. Otani will recognize them and often seek them out to play and communicate. Individuals with one Laviku mark can also drink salt water and have the mark automatically convert it to fresh water for ocean survival. Individuals know the direction of the sea if they are on land and how far away it is (in aprox miles). They also immediately recognize where progression tide is, meaning if it is incoming or outgoing or in transition between.

Tiernan and Garloth first met in The Northern Suvan Sea when his pod was anchored at not to far from Fang Isle. Watching the sharks that seemed to always swim along side his pods boats, he began to throw food to them. It was that random act that brought the two together as Garloth sprung from the depths below to grab a fish out of the air before it entered the water. Garloth became his Tavan and the two have been attached ever since. Garloth is a dark gray color towards the front of his head that seems to fade into a lighter blueish silver towards his tail. The transition from dull gray to silver is marred with dark gray spots along the side of his body.
Important People in Tiernan's Life (NPC's, PC relationships, Ect..)
The Swiftriver Pod
THe Swiftriver Pod is a tight knit family collective of some twenty members who predominately reside around the Northern Suvan Sea in the vicinity of Glasswater Bay near Alvadas. With the city of illusions influences, The Swiftrivers are known fot their arcane habits. Most of its members being practitioners of the arcane art of summoning, with other forms of the mystic arts being secondary. The previous Lia, prior to the current Lia Gwendolyn Swiftriver, was a prominent summoner in her own right.
Full Name: Gwendolyn Swiftriver NPC Type: Stationary Race: Svefra Association: Pod Lia Religion: Laviku (Cultural), Zulrav (Devout) Birthplace & Age: Northern Suvan Sea; 50. Status: Alive
Skills:
Weapon-Cutlass: 26
Sailing: 19
Swimming: 5
History
Having fallen overboard her families ship at an early age during a violent storm, Gwendolyn never truly knew her real parents. Not yet a powerful swimmer at the time, she would have drowned if it wasn't for the female tiger shark named Thana; who became her Tavan. who rather than attacked her, brought her to the Swiftriver Pod Lia of the time. She spent the next decade living as the adopted daughter of Lia Swiftriver. It was always frustrating for a gentle heart to be guided by a fierce spirit; worse still a fierce spirit and being guided by a gentle heart. She was compelled to follow a bandit lifestyle though her vicious heart grew soft when the Lia passed away, giving her command of the Pod when she was thirty three years old. Lia Gwendolyn spends most of her time aboard her Palivar ship with her family, along with most of the Swiftriver pod ships who anchor just outside of Glasswater bay in the northern Suvan.
Talick is what one would call a wolf in sheep's clothing. He presents himself with a calm exterior, perhaps even detached, and has a tendency to belittle people with words alone. However, this behaviour would be associated with his impatience for stupidity, which is not particularly out of the ordinary. He's generally polite, even when being condescending. It is an attitude trait that rubbed off on his son Tiernan. However, his eyes constantly betray him. His eyes, that clear, ocean blue, seem to always observe. He is a man who dabbles in art by drawling whenever he is alone fishing. He lives aboard the Palivar ship of the Swiftriver Lia, along side his wife. Often in charge of fishing for the people on the ship.
It's a little strange that Rana was raised as she was; anyone would have expected her to be an airhead through and through, the kind of person who would have little better to do than move from one party to another, rolling on through not having a care in the world. It isn't as if Rana doesn't; it's just that there's a fair deal more to her than the free flowing lifestyle. She is quite bubbly yet intelligent, having been raised into the arcane by her own father who taught her the mysteries of summoning and reimancy. Skills which she in turn passed to her son Tiernan Swiftriver. Her compassion marking her cheerful a counterweight to her husbands personality. She lives aboard the same ship as the Lia of the Swiftriver Pod, and her husband. She best works along side her husband fishing, and summoning creatures when necessary to preform minor labor tasks or to help defend the ship.
Born into an unstable, almost abusive environment. Hardened more than someone her age should be, Fionnula is truly conflicted about life. She didn't know much kindness in her youth being raised in poverty, hungry more often than not. It was enough to make her run away from the pirates she called parents. Fionnula was found by Tiernan Swiftriver alone after the The Massive Djed Storm of 512 on the shores of Glasswater Bay. He became her surrogate father after bringing her to the Lia of his pod, who adopted her into the Swiftriver's.
Fionnula is Sweet as sugar and as kind as snuggly kitten. She is the last person anyone would expect to be a fighter. In fact, on listening to her, most people doubt she's ever lifted a weapon in her life. Not every killer does it for the thrill, or even enjoys the act at all. Though given that her previous parents were constantly attacked during her short life due to piracy, she learned how to use a knife to defend herself. She's been having trouble adjusting to the much more passive roll, yet, Tiernan's seriousness and kindness has kept her balanced. Growing attached to the man more everyday.
She currently lives with Tiernan Swiftriver aboard his casinor, yet often lives with the Pod Lia when Tiernan is out on a long adventure.
