Name: Finality-In-Isolation
Species: Seer-Without-Sight, bug like race of people
Gender: Without-Within-Withhold [TL Note: They]
Color: Sun-Gold-Sand [CC6940]
Biography:
Seers-Without-Sight live in various tribes in the realm of Living-Turbulent-Host, scattered by circumstance, profession, and by ones own will. Finality-In-Isolation, at the time known as Apprentice-In-Arms-Nee-Excavation, was part of a tribe of blacksmiths, miners, and crafters known as Creators-Living-Dead-Beyond, using their races heightened ability to sense the living energy of the world to craft weapons and tools that respond to the energy of the user. Creators-Living-Dead-Beyond were self sufficient and well known, and knew many travelers, experienced a lot of trade, and happily basked in the social energy that their people fed on.
All of this changed however, with the Great White Wyrm, Hollow Moon, fell in sickness near Creators-Living-Dead-Beyond's main settlement. The creature was injured, and excited by the stories such an experience could produce, the people of the tribe worked for seven shifts to nurse the Wyrm back to health. This was the last day that these people would truly be known as Creators-Living-Dead-Beyond. Hollow Moon was pleased, gracious, and incredibly hurt by the deeds of the tribe, wishing with all of its might that it could ever begin to repay them for their debts. The leaders of the tribe wished for nothing more than the experience, and perhaps a story, but nothing else, for the Wyrms very presence surely repaid the time spent. However, Hollow Moon insisted, that it give more, and secretly blessed the tribe as it left for the skies, to travel Living-Turbulent-Host as all the Great Wyrms do.
This blessing manifested slowly, dangerously, painfully, as the first Creator-Living-Dead-Beyond lost control of her form and slew another, then herself, in grief. These incidents continued as the tribe realized what had to have occurred, Hollow Moon blessed them with a gift, one they could not control, one they could not reverse. Apprentice-In-Arms-Nee-Excavation, along with some others of the younger generation, watched as the situation began to get out of control, and turned to each other. They realized that the form change could be controlled, contained, and calmed, but it was too late.
Eventually, they were the only ones left. Stricken with grief, they destroyed their settlements, moved into the mines, and caved them in. Alone and isolated, no matter their form, deprived of social energy, they would sleep and eventually die.
Description: Finality-In-Isolation has all of the features you would expect from a Seer-Without-Sight, mandibles, a yellow carapace exterior, a flat head with antennae sticking out from the top. They have two larger arms with clawed, four fingered hands as well as two sets of smaller arms with three fingered hands, to use as needed. Finality also has two legs with clawed feet and shorts. They are garbed in a black blindfold, a large cloth poncho, colored orange, and a black metal band on each of their wrists and around their ankles, one of two last vestiges of their dead tribe.
Even as Apprentice-In-Arms, they were always emotional, giving their best and their all to whatever they were putting their mind to. Ever hoping to please their comrades and relive them of their burdens, at the constant cost of their own... Finality-In-Isolation is not a doormat however, they respect themselves, and their allies, even more now that they are posed to be the last of their kind.
Items/Abilities: Like all Seers-Without-Sight, Finality was born without vision, relying on a sense unique to their people, the ability to see the energy of the living, dead, and otherwise. Finality relies on these senses not only to see and hear, but also to feel. This means that they have an uncanny ability to respond to changes in mood and tone, and that it is very difficult to lie to them. Finality-In-Isolation was a very physically fit Seer, and despite years of sleep, is still as agile and strong as they were in their days of apprenticeship.
Finality-In-Isolation is also blessed by the Great White Wyrm, Hollow Moon, to in moments of great emotional stress, social hunger, or similar intense moments, to transform into a beast of immense strength, agility, and endurance. Before the self imposed imprisonment of the Grief-Eternal-Finality, they could control themselves even while in this form. It remains to be seen how much control they will have after their years of starvation...
The only notable item they have on their person is a pole, crafted by their master as a gift, on the day they became Apprentice-In-Arms. As a special craft of the Creators-Living-Dead-Beyond, it responds to their violent transformation, turning into a spiked glaive.
