Siessgarraviskava

Appearance Race: Dhani, Rattler Gender: Male Age: 136 Birthday: 17th of Fall, AV 377 Birthplace: Falyndar, Rattler Dhani nest Human Appearance: The Dhani looked fairly ordinary in his human form, not much would distinguish him from the crowd he walked amongst. He stood around 5'10", give or take an inch and his build could be described as slim, without excess, practical; regardless of the word he was not bulky and exhibited no signs of gluttonous behaviour. His eyes featured a pair of dark, swampy green irises beneath a furrowed white brow. His hair was grey-ish white and brushed against his shoulders, hanging limply against his pale white skin. Dhani Appearance: His Dhani form was certainly monstrous to those who had never had the blessing of witnessing such a fearsome sight. His body stretches to reach an impressive length of 15ft from snout to tail. His arms thicken and his chest broadened as scaled rippled across his body, forming distinct white and gold bands along his body. In this form he is twice as strong as the average human and while not a fast as the viper he is quicker than most humans. He has a pair of large fangs capable of delievering fatal venom and a row of inward pointed teeth but those most distinguish feature was the large, club-like rattle on the end of his tail that he would use as a weapon with lethal effectiveness if needs be. Snake Appearance: His snake appearance is the final stage of transformation from his human form. He turned into a 13ft rattlesnake, with the enormous fangs as well as a row of smaller teeth in his mouth that were present in his Dhani form, capable of destroying tissue and causing haemorrhaging. Likewise the snake was banded with regular bands on gold and white running a long his back. Character Concept Raviskava exhibited all the traits so common amongst his Dhani kin; A misguided moral compass, a sense of superiority over the other races of Mizahar and a soft spot for torture. He was by no means "evil", he loathed the word himself and he did not go around seeking ways of inflicting pain on the lesser species, though given the chance... He was disinterested with the lives of most people, nearly a century and a half through his own life he had reached the conclusion that quite a few individuals of the longer lived races had reached that other peoples' lives were in fact worthless and one should only focus on their own life. To that end he once had devoted himself to a life of indulgence and pleasure, finding a whore on each arm and a flagon in each hand. But whores are whore and drink is drink so he had soon grown tired with the familiar vices and instead had begun to focus on the only thing that would remain when Dira claimed his soul; his legacy. He is a man who prefers solitude over groups, though does not find himself awkward in a crowd but would rather find himself in a familiar environment without distractions. He has few friends, few Dhani stray out of their nests and most humans he had ever considered friends had passed away, a timely reminder of how fleeting the elder race was and now refuses to find himself close to one. Character History Siessgarraviskava, or simply Raviskava, was born on the 17th of Fall, AV 377 to his mother, Siessgar and an unimportant male. Like all younglings he was driven purely by instinct, and often found himself leaving the nest to wander amongst The Spires, home of a truly different side of nature. As is their way, he was welcomed with open arms by the Jamoura, eager to teach the Dhani a different way to live, driven not by cruelty but by compassion. These trips allowed him to delve into the teachings of the Jamoura, their knowledge of herbs and their uses was as vast as their age. In turn this garnered him a repuatation in his nest of being a healer as he tended to the young and infirm, a reputaion his mother did not want him to be branded with. Forbidding anymore excursions out from the nest his mother, along with other skilled in the art of poisonmaking in the nest used what he had been taught and twisted it with Siku's influence, teaching him the mercy of his god and the skills that would aid him in spreading her influence. It was when he reached adulthood, proficient enough in poison and herbalism, to be sent from the nest to spread the presence of the Dhani. It was a calculated move by the Matriarch, he was only a male of little importance to the nest so if he failed then they had lost little but if he succeeded, then he would be eternally grateful to the nest for reaching a position far higher than most males would expect in such a matriarchal society. He spent thirty odd years in Sunberth, it was the ideal city, fractured and choatic, the players and their pieces change often enough to allow middle men to become wealthy, powerful and totally untouchable. Most of his time was spent labouring, enjoying the pleasure not found in his nest and helping people whenever he could with herbal remedies to cultivate a image that allowed him to be thought of as a good, local man who the city could trust. But time was not unlimited, even for a Dhani, so by the Summer of AV 514 he decided to push his plans forward as there was much to be done and too many players to keep track of.
