Kavala

[Kavala]

"I feel what they are feeling - their joy and their pain.
Animals are different than people.
They are more honest about things than people could ever be.
That is why I am their healer, their caretaker, both upon the land and within the sea."

avala has a typical Konti appearance. Pale luminous skin covers a small delicate form. Kavala has waist length straight white hair that she normally wears loose, although like many of the Drykas, there might be a small braid or two in the fall tipped with a colored glass bead. While Kavala is slight, her body is well corded with muscle. Working with horses keeps her active and fit. Kavala moves deliberately, with no wasted action and with no desire to draw attention to herself. Bright blue eyes tend to move from pale blue to dark azure depending on her mood and the circumstances. Kavala has elaborate wind tattoos across the small of her back, earned when a cyphrus strider decided to allow her to be her rider.

Her konti scales are iridescent mainly running from pinks to blues and are visible on her hands and neck. Like all Konti, she has webbed fingers and toes that run halfway up to the middle knuckle of her digits.

Kavala's skin is unmarred by scars. She had a host of them, but as of 84th of Winter, 513, Caelum and Rak'keli healed the signs of torture on her body that reminded her of her past and now her back is decorated with a raised scarring - beautiful - of her chavi. Since the faint physical scarring that resembles someone having etched her skin with the blade of a knife to induce pain has passed, there is no more haunted look in Kavala's eyes.

She has the gnosis mark of Rak'Keli - twin rakanivas - entwined around her right ankle. On her left hip is Nysal's spiral. On the back of her hand is Eryis' symbol.... all obvious gnosis marks.

More recently Kavala has a tattoo on the underside of her left wrist depicting her Kuvan status in Riverfall.

he Konti Healer is a quiet - driven - figure. Her whole outlooks is unassuming and unpretentious. She dwells outside of the world, fitting in neither with the Drykas Pavilion she was born too nor the Konti women who give her heritage. She's trying to build herself a life in which she is dependent upon none and wholly self sufficient. Kavala has evolved into a ruthless unapologetic killer if the need arises. Wounds fascinate her - wounds of all kind not just those restricted to the body - and she has never been squeamish about blood or the body. That being said, she is not adverse to violence and tends to be somewhat gentle with people if they merit it. Malicious people see only her ruthless cutthroat side. While not a pushover, Kavala would rather keep the peace than enhance conflict. Her calming nature has a calming effect on those around her as well - be they wild animals or something as unpredictable as a Cerulean. Kavala has few friends, probably because her social skills are lacking, and perhaps because she prefers silence over filling the world with empty conversation.

avala has a konti gift, like the whole of the race. Unlike most Konti however, her gift doesn't pertain to people. This is probably one of the reasons she'll never be a good councilor figure. Instead, her gift involves animals and also kelvics. While the closest description to what she experiences is animal empathy, it can be far more than that. Kavala feels what animals feel and if she is around specific individuals enough, she can pick up glimpses of their thinking. Her strider, for example, can flash pictures of carrots in her mind when Windsong wants a carrot from his mistress. It also helps make her an excellent animal healer because she can intensely feel where they hurt. If an animal is a kelvic, she can often feel their thoughts and if shes close enough sometimes they might seem like they are indeed her own. Kavala over the years has learned to separate out her own thoughts from theirs - but animals can still heavily influence her mood and feelings by what they project.

As of Winter 515, the God of Mischief gifted everyone in Riverfall with additional abilities which Kavala has retained.

Kavala's very presence increases the sentience of animals, birds and fish around her so that they can manifest speech either physically or mentally that herself and others can hear. This 'speech' comes in the form of a language or mental projection that is in a language someone listening can understand. They won't get incredibly intelligent or anything, but their speech will come in the form of something on their level. As she gets a grip on the gift, Kavala will be able to 'tone it down' to silence the animals or simply make it a more 'private' channel. She can however expand it at will to all around the area hearing as well. Control comes with practice which will take time. Animals that are naturally intelligent might sound human as they speak while not so intelligent animals might have very basic language and communications in vocalizations.

For example, if Kavala is tossing bread to seagulls on the beach, herself and others might hear them squabbling over the snacks in the form of actual vocalized "Mine! Mine! Mines!" More intelligent animals - mammals etc - might be able to hold whole conversations with her or someone else within her presence.

Modified March 25, 2011 “I believe we are not alone. The Gods and Goddesses are everywhere moving us like chess pieces on the board of life.” Rak'keli - 2 Marks (Healing) (2nd - ) avala is deeply faithful to Rak'keli. When she left the Grasslands after her mother's death, Kavala went north back to Mura in order to study medicine and learn more about her Konti nature. It was in the Opal Temple while studying medicine that Rak'keli tapped Kavala and welcomed her into her fold as a gnosis powered healer. Urged to finish her medical studies, Kavala is mating healing gnosis with medicine to cover all her bases and fulfill her oaths. Kavala's gnosis mark from Rak'keli is a Rakanivas entwined about her right ankle. Nysel - 1 Mark (Dreamwalking) (spring 510 AV) avala is relatively new to Nysel's service. Still feeling her way through her Dreamwalking abilities, this gnosis tends to give Kavala a sense that she dwells in more than one realm at a time. Even as she looks at a person on the material, she is often sensing for their chevi on the Chevena. As time goes on, the bolder she'll get. Recently, shes started thinking of restarting the Cytali. Past Life Information : Name: Crescent Race: Human Sex: Female Facts: Crescent is thought to be good with daggers, garottes and poison. Subterfuge was her artform. She can be an escape artist and is good at larceny and breaking and entering. She was raised as a daughter of a high ranking assassin (Eclipse) for the Suvan Empire. Her skills should be on par as such and it is likely she's been raised within the Ruv'na Organization. Sometime in her 17th year after a botched assassination attempt on the leader of the Cytali, Crescent is captured and switches sides joining with the Cytali and going on to have a long mutually beneficial relationship with the Organization rising in the ranks to be a rather high ranking member herself. Eyris - 1 Mark (Lykata) (Spring, 510) avala was truly surprised when her newly met friend Calla channeled Eryis and marked her in Riverfall's library. Kavala has strove to give thanks to Eyris and use her gift wisely since.

[Kavala]

Modified March 25, 2011 "History will be kind to me for I intend to write it." avala is the youngest daughter Eachann, the Ankal of the Denusk Pavilion of the Sapphire clan, by his third wife, Ay’aka. Ay’aka came to the Sea of Grass having been Called from Mura to aid the Denusk and thus the Sapphire Clan as a whole to help cure a plague that affected the clan’s horses. Kavala has an older sister named Akela who is also Konti. Her half-brother Vanator is the son of Eachaan’s first wife and heir to the Denusk Pavilion. Like her mother, Kavala was born with Rak’keli’s mark rather than the vision-granting sight of Avalis. As a girl, she followed her mother everywhere and learned what she could of her mother’s Medicine and Healing. Pacifistic and introverted, Kavala was a happy child who fit very well into the Drykas lifestyle. She has been chosen by two striders in her life, the first being a newborn filly whom bonded to Kavala instantly when Kavala was a child and attending her birth. Ironwraith taught her to ride and passed on in Kavala's teen years. Her current Strider chose her when he was just a foal and Kavala had to wait for him to grow up to ride. Windsong has been with her ever since. Being close to her older brother, Kavala was frequently the go-between Vanator and Akela since both personalities tended to clash. When Vanator took his first wife, Tamar, Kavala became close friends. Tamar’s death during a Zith raid took Kavala hard because of their closeness and since it came on the heels of her own mother’s death via a fall from a horse. Such a death was a dishonor to the pavilion and completely taboo. Ay'aka was a source of pride to the clan, having come and eradicated a severe horse plague with her medicine. She brought strength and joy to the family, her konti daughters believed to be omens of prosperity. After her death, they were seen as a curse – with many of the bad situations that cropped up afterwards being blamed on the two girls. Bad luck seemed to pursue the Pavilion. Kavala became convinced that she and Akela were cursed… and often referred to it as “The Curse”. The curse is not real, of course, but Kavala almost gives it power by believing in it. And so, in 507, Kavala left the Denusk Pavilion for Konti Isle seeking answers to her heritage and training in the Opal Temple. She remained on Konti for two years before she decided to return to the Sea of Grass and her home she so desperately missed. On the way home from Konti, however, the curse struck again. Kavala accidentally rode Windsong into a trap designed to kill the strider and capture the rider. Kavala was taken into custody by slavers who set the trap. Their ultimate goal was to take all prisoners to a Zith Colony and sell the women and children for meat ands slaves. Kavala was only with the slavers for thirty days… but during that time they gang raped her and broke her spirit utterly stripping her of her identity. Kavala’s body was carved up, in a cruel way that was designed to maximize her pain – to torture – and as a defense mechanism her body has started to equate pain to pleasure for the Konti. It happened as a coping mechanism so she could more easily deal with the day to day brutality and stripping of identity. Currently, Kavala has very little self worth. She was rescued later, broken, by an Akalak raiding party that freed the surviving women and children and returned them to Riverfall. Kavala became, at that point, a Nakivak – a term the Akalak used for a ‘reclaimed slave’ or someone that owes a life debt. And she’s remained in Riverfall since, licking her wounds, finding herself again, starting a business and waiting for the day that an Akalak will come to her and demand her debt to Riverfall be paid. That debt can only be paid by producing one or more children for the Akalak people – who are slowly going extinct. Kavala accepts her fate and is slowly growing more and more grateful for her life. She will honor the request of the first Akalak that asks her to serve him because the Konti healer has found enough of the pieces of her life – and has rebuilt them – in order to see how wonderful the people of Riverfall is and how proud she would be to help them thrive in any way she could. here is so much left untold... Fall of 509 Kavala is rescued from slavery by the Akalaks and taken to Riverfall where her rights and new role is explained. She becomes a Nakivak, a breeder, and must give Riverfall children to pay off her debt to them for her rescue. It is also at this time where Kavala finds out she can buy land on contract and begin a business. She chooses an old abandoned factory setting and negotiates for it to be tacked onto her contract. Winter of 509 This season was really entitled 'Arranging a new life." She spent the entire season setting up Sanctuary, meeting people in Riverfall and discovering her new environment. Kavala met her first Kelvic and found she had enormous affinity towards them - and officially got Sanctuary up and running. She met Sorian, a feral Akalak, and helped him balance his light and dark sides. She befriended a feral kelvic and watched Sorian bond to her as well. Kavala arranged the kelvics pregnancy so that she would not be executed because of her unstable nature in Riverfall. Horses were purchased for Sanctuary and the breeding season was planned. Kavala received her second Healing mark from Rak'keli. Spring of 510 This season was Kavala's 'Awakening'. She came out of her shell of abuse and started really living again. Kavala fell in love with Hatot and Radis, another Akalak pair whom she helped to balance out, and found herself in a contract with him and carrying his child. Horses were bred, and Sanctuary had its first crop of foals. The business boomed and Kavala started making a reputation for herself. There were several attacks thwarted, and personalities overcome as the denizens of Sanctuary started forming up. Kavala was marked by Nysel in this season and has shyly started to Dreamwalk. The season was filled with healing and revelation. Kavala began to train in unarmed combat and daggers. And, Kavala meets Eyris and possibly receives a mark from her as well (thead still underway). Summer of 510 Kavala throws herself into her work and her pregnancy. More horses are brought in, the herd is changed out and Kavala trains staff to help her because her body is to bulky to do real work at this point. Hatot/Radris disappears and Kavala has a hard time coping with the fact he hasn't visited her or been part of her life. The season is somewhat lost to her in the form of depression and anxiety and finally mourning once she realizes her relationship with Hatot and Radris are over. Training and healing continue. Staff changes hands. And Sanctuary continues to grow. Fall of 510 Training continues, both of body and mind. Kavala studies more magic and keeps training her body for unarmed and daggers. She's grown awkward so the bulk of her work goes to her staff. Kavala spends a lot of time alone and returns to Endrykas for visits when she can with her family. The Konti healer becomes sullen, introverted, and keeps to herself a great deal. She gets into fights with Raiha and continues throwing herself into her work almost to the point of exhaustion. Winter of 510 Filled with storms and mystery, the Winter of 510 was a harsh one. Horses were kept close and many predators both of the feral and of the sentient type were driven off. Training continued. Many social threads were carried out. And Kavala waited for the birth of her son or daughter. Sorian returned and disappeared again. Hatot remained missing. And Kavala soldiered on feeling awkward and worried about the future but also having the growing hope that with Tasifal's birth she'd be freed of her status. Spring of 511 Kavala gave birth to an Akontak son and the Oathmaster promptly rebound her for another child stating she was too valuable to release from her contract even though she had totally and officially paid Sanctuary off and the money for her original horses she'd purchased on loan from The Council. This threw Kavala into a depression like no other. She recovered slowly from her birth and along with her healing duties, spent the spring throwing herself into her work, birthing foals, rebreeding mares, and having a barn sale. Summer of 511 A ghost is discovered in Sanctuary and a lot of down time happened for Kavala. She helped a few people, recovered from her son's birth and worried about the 'rest' period that the Oathmaster gave her and when it would be up. She carried out a great deal of healings and added on a kennels to Sanctuary with the help of her staff. She also ran off to Endrykas to see if what she really wanted twas to be back with her Drykas pavailion. It wasn't. But the trip served a great purpose as Tasifal got tied into the web via Kavala's father and officially recognized into the family though his status as Drykas won't happen until a strider bonds with him. Fall of 511 The thing Kavala most dreaded happened. An Akalak took up her contract which was officially open Fall 1. So now she's lost what little illusion of freedom she had with having the 'mandatory' rest' after a baby is born. There's a twist however since the contract holder is reluctant as well. Fall is still ongoing, so we'll have to see what happens next. ...

Modified March 25, 2011 "Security comes in all forms, be it the pounding of hooves on tall grass or a place of healing built on the edge of a great city. Sometimes, even shelter comes in the form of strength in your heart." ღ The Sanctuary Location: The Sanctuary Where: Riverfall When: 509 to Present Why: This place is where Kavala can point to and say “This is what I’ve done with my life.” It is sprawling complex of animal healing and horse breeding with a secret that it houses deep in its depths. The Sanctuary is also the Cytali Fortress and headquarters. Description: Located on the outskirts of Riverfall, The Sanctuary a massive set of structures surrounded by a twenty foot wall. Sometimes called a city unto itself, The Sanctuary houses healers, a full time horse breeding facility, animal rescue/adoption center, and animal healer. Completely isolated to the east of the Bluevein River, Sanctuary overlooks the Suvan Sea perched on a relatively flat piece of land bordering the woods that are fairly common along the coastline. Having a good chunk of fenced pasture surrounding the facility, Sanctuary lies right off the road that acts as the main supply route down to the beach. ღ The Denusk Pavilion Location: The Denusk Pavilion Where: The Sea Of Grass When: Previous to 509 (minus the time in Mura) Why: The Denusk Pavilion is Kavala’s birthplace among the Drykas. She was born from a Konti who was sent to the Sea of Grass for her Call. Description: The Denusk Pavilion has no specific location. It moves with its supportive Pavilions and its herds in a clockwise motion around the Run on the Sea of Grass. Sometimes the Pavilion is in Endrykas though often they are on their own spread out as the Drykas are likely to do in times of peace and plenty. The Pavilion and all of Kavala's SoG family are thought to have perished in the Djed Storm of 513. ღ The Opal Temple Location: The Opal Temple Where: Mura When: 507-509 Why: This is the one place in Kavala's past where she felt like she could be herself and immerse herself in what she wanted to do with the rest of her life. However, the fit wasn't quite right because the medicine was all people orientated, not animal orientated. Description: Located in the heart of Mura, the Opal Temple rises in gleaming white stone set in the middle of a bright green park. While the structure itself seems rather small, flanked on either side by twin white towers of three stories, most of the structure is buried beneath the ground as is common in Mura. As the Temple itself is set upon the coastline, the underground complex is partially flooded. Within the north tower is the beginnings of the Medical Library which stretches deep underground well into the sprawling complex that is the Opal Order's Headquarters. The South Tower is said to be the home of Rak'Keli, The Goddess of Healing, when she indeed is in residence.

"People are important. Without others, how do we define ourselves?" Tasival & Shayru Denusk Date Of Birth: 20th of Spring 511 Relationship: Son Race: Akontak Age: 6 Years Old Status: NPC Additional Information: Tasival was born in the spring of 511, just before Kavala's birthday. He came to her in the sea in a fit of madness. She was not alone, however, as a teenage Akontak was in attendance and saved both their lives. Tasi and Shay are residents of The Sanctuary and can often be seen wandering around. They are precocial children that are as mischievous as they are delightful. Ralac & Inadan Denusk Date Of Birth: 10th of Winter 513 Relationship: Son Race: Akontak Age: 4 Years Old Status: NPC Additional Information: Ralac and Inadan are strong boys. They have firm personalities and within days of birth were already showing signs of switching between two individual babies and coming forth with unique tastes and desires. Ralac is strong, protective of his sister, and seemingly accepting of his brother. They are very fascinated with Tasival and tend to enjoy interacting with their older sibling. So far they show no signs of their sister's weakness and were in fact born overly large. Kavala claims that Ralac waited for Ia'del to be strong enough before he put in an appearance which was why her double pregnancy was so hard. Ia'del Denusk Date Of Birth: 10th of Winter 513 Relationship: Daughter Race: Konti Age: 4 Years Old Status: NPC Additional Information: Ia'del was born horribly premature. Carried to term with her brother Ralac and Inadan, she was a surprise in an otherwise awful situation. Because her lungs were not fully formed, the first season of her life she had to be constantly held and watched TBA Relationship: TBA Race: TBA Age: TBA Status: NPC Additional Information: Cadra Denusk Relationship: Niece Race: Kelvic Age: 1 year Title: Cook Status: NPC - Up For Adoption Expertise: Cooking - 25, Food Preservation - 25 Biography:Cadra was purchased by Kavala from Rattling Chains and adopted as a ‘sister’ in thread (to be written asap). She is aprox 1 year old kelvic domestic longhaired cat. Larik is her twin. Kavala and Cadra are not bonded but are close friends and work together at The Sanctuary. Cadra is friendly, outgoing, and enjoys her dominion over Sanctuary’s kitchen and food preservation situation. She is willing to teach anyone who wants to learn and often accepts help or respites from her duties so others can cook. Cadra is known to play tricks on Rhy and sometimes steals Rhy’s prominent spot by the hearth or flat out curls up with the kelvic dog, when she thinks no one is looking – especially other cats. Cadra is actually Vantor Denusk's daughter, so actually Kavala's niece. Larik Denusk Relationship: Nephew Race: Kelvic Golden Eagle Age: 1 year old Title: Guard/Watch Status: NPC - Up For Adoption Salary: 4GM Day Expertise: Wilderness Survival - 25, Hunting - 25 Biography: Larik was purchased by Kavala from Rattling Chains and adopted as a ‘brother’ in thread (to be written asap). He is a aprox 1 year old kelvic eagle twin to Cadra. Kavala and Larik are not bonded but are close friends and work together at The Sanctuary. Larik is friendly, outgoing, and enjoys his watchful position over Sanctuary’s exterior and herds. He is willing to teach anyone who wants to learn and often accepts company on his watch duty. Larik is actually Vanator Denusk's son, so actually Kavala's nephew. Aweston Denusk Relationship: Adopted Brother Race: Drykas Age: 491 (22 yo) Title: Head Groom Status: NPC - Up For Adoption Salary: 4GM Day Expertise: Horsemanship 20, Riding 15, Leatherworking 15 Biography: Aweston and Kavala met in Endrykas when Kavala bought her first horses for Sanctuary. He returned to the Sanctuary with her to help her herd horses and ended up staying on as a groom. He is around Sanctuary and free to be NPC'd by anyone interested. Aweston is twenty years old and Bolden Denusk's half brother by his mother. He took on the Denusk name when he moved in with Kavala so there'd be no question that they were family. Chalcedony aka "Chalce" Race: Human - Inarta Age: 491 (22 yo) Title: Falconer Status: NPC - Up For Adoption Salary: 5 GM Day Expertise: Falconry - 25, Morphing - 25 Biography: Chalcedony turned up in Riverfall after the Spring Djed Storm. Her twin and her twin's Wind Eagle were killed in the freeing of Ivak and Chalce needed some time away. She hitched a ride with a courier/trade wing making a trip to Riverfall and is staying indefinitely to charge her batteries and get away from the loss of her twin for a while. Kavala is going to place an add in the city center and hire her for 5 GM a day to help with the mews. The thread will be done before season change. Calla Relationship: Friend Race: Konti Age: Unknown Status: NPC Friend - Can Use But Isn't a Personal NPC Expertise: Research: 75, Writing: 56, Suvai: 35, Chainmaille Weaving: 60, Organization: 25, Rhetoric: 60 Additional Information: Calla is a silver-tongued Kontinese woman who has been thrice-marked by Eyris, and twice-marked by Avalis. She has two children, a Konti daughter and an Akalak son. She has paid off her debt, but will likely stay with her new partner, an Akalak of good standing in Riverfall. She is very friendly with Kavala and will certainly help her learn and find things, as well as guide her and answer her questions. She has the other half of the Repository, a two-part artifact. Carvex Relationship: Leader of the Ruv'na - Sworn Enemy of the Cytali Race: Human Age: Unknown Status: NPC Additional Information: Slowly Carvex is making himself known to the Dreamwalkers of the Cytali and personally hunting down those whom he feels he's been betrayed by. In another life, Carvex's former one, Kavala was Carvex's daughter. Then he was known as the assassin Eclipse whom she slew in defense of the Leader and Founder of the Cytali.
