Toyoll's Characters

[Toyoll]

Name: Nyala Keherth
Gender:Female
Age: 23
Element: Beast (Her sign is located the back of her neck.)

Physical appearance: Lithe and sinewy, Nyala has the physique of a warrior. She has pale skin and raven-coloured hair which she keeps in a long braid. Easily identifiable as a wolf, she has lupine ears, eyes, teeth, claws and tail.

History: A native to Poldora, Nyala was practically born into the collective power struggle.

Strong children are valued in this clan because it meant that the parents were strong too. In a village where show of power is everything, having weak offspring is out of the question. So Nyala, third sister of seven siblings, was constantly pushed further.

The young pup soon found a taste for strength, much to the joy of her parents, and was often found brawling with the other villagers' youngsters. But she would always pause to watch the Warriors go by. Nyala's parents weren't Warriors and they seemed like such a prestigious group to wolf pup. She would often pretend to be a Warrior even the General, pouncing on friends and siblings, she made it her life's goal. Her parents simply beamed with pride at having sired such a voracious little wolf.

Time flew by and Nyala's strength only doubled, shedding her lanky, childish shape for the toned body of a young adult. She severed her ties with her family and built a home for herself on the outside of town. Nyala then daringly marched up to the Warrior Captain and demanded to accept her into their ranks. After much evaluation and a heated quarrel, she got her wish.

There weren't many females in the ranks of the warriors. She had to be especially tough and commanding to earn her place. Even though she is powerful in her own rights, she still isn't content. Nyala's ambition is to become the General of Polora one day, but she lacks the strength and experience. To obtain both, she has set out on a Force quest, hoping that in the process, she'll earn another symbol.

Nyala traveled far, but did not earn another elemental sign. She has, however, learned far more than she realized and, suddenly feeling homesick, the she-wolf went home.

Today, the Officer Warrior is back in Poldora and back in command of her troops.

[Toyoll]

Name: Faolan
Gender: Male
Age: 43 (Note: Warped age: He is physically 32)
Element: Beast (Three signs: one on his right shoulder blade, one on the pads of his left paw and one on his chest)

Physical appearance: Faolan is a Wolf affiliate and has not one, but three elemental symbols, making him look more like an upright canine than a human being. He has a thick, silvery pelt with hints of red rippling over his heavily built body. His lupine eyes are a fiery gold and despite their feral looks, are bright and intelligent. The wolf also has many adornments, mainly feathers and such. He has viciously sharp claws and fangs that could easily pierce a skull.


History: Faolan is formerly of clan Beleg, a fierce clan where the laws of fight or flight were the most severe, the penalty was death, even for the youngest of children. But ever since birth, he had an advantage over the other children, he was born with two symbols.

As he grew older, Faolan began to long for something better than this. The three clan leaders were constantly at odds with each other and the young beast type was sick of seeing the bloodshed. So when he was old enough, he set out to fix this once and for all.

Faolan grew stronger every year, and one day, he was strong enough to confront the leaders. He managed to become the leader of clan Seere through relatively peaceful means. He then traveled to clan Poldora where he made an alliance with it's general, Lam of Poldora, and fought the cruel ruler. Winning this challenge, he was named clan leader.

When he finally returned home to Beleg, he was already more powerful than any living beast elemental. There was a long and bloody battle between the two clan leaders, but in the end, Faolan rose the victor. The villagers of Beleg relinquished the final title of clan leader to the wolf.

He then traveled far to Clan Alauvar and struck a deal with it's Leader. Faolan would be heeded as the highest Leader of all Beasts, but Alauvar would be left in peace, even retaining it's Leader's title and other traditions. In other words, they would be treated more as allies even if they were under Faolan's rule.

Finally, the four clans were united under one leader. Even though the two more violent clans still retain their ancient ways, they no longer battle with one another. Faolan was rewarded a third symbol by the Forces for his endeavors. There was peace in the beastlands and Faolan settled in clan Seere, no longer wishing to be apart of the other clans' harsh ways.

The wolf is now retired, having relinquished his title to another. Faolan is now the head of the elder's council of Seere. He lives simply and is very happy to just be a neighbor to his fellow Beasts.

[Toyoll]

Name: Qwynh Damani
Gender: Female
Age:22
Element: Beast, epauletted fruit bat affinity (Two signs: one on each shoulder blade.)

Physical appearance:
Qwynh is a fruit bat affinity. She has a sleek muzzle and bright hazel eyes. Her pelt is a light brown color, riddled with chestnut. She has a beautiful dirty-blond mane and elegant shell-shaped ears. Her wings are massive and, when walking, she holds them up awkwardly to keep herself from tripping on them. She has two sets of piercings in her wings that allow her to still wear clothes, though she is limited to halter tops and loincloths.

History:
Qwynh means "night blooming flower", but she feels like anything but a flower. The young bat pup yielding from Seere has quite a few self-esteem issues. She is walking disaster, clumsy beyond words and she is constantly apologizing for it.

She was a victim of near-constant teasing by the other children because of the way that she looked. Being a bat, she was born hairless and she was wrinkly all over. She didn't exactly look gorgeous when her fur started to come in either. It came in clumps, making her look like something a cat mauled and the teasing didn't stop there. She was called "clumsy Qwynh" for most of her life. But having the gigantic heart characteristic to her clan, she laughed right along with them, even her friends called her clumsy Qwynh.

But the teasing relented when her arms grew stronger, her chest grew deeper and her fur came in full and thick. She may be a slight push-over, but having two signs still meant that she was stronger than most of her clanmates. After helping one of the elders with his daily chores, he suggested that Qwynh should try out for the village Guards. Delighted with the unexpected compliment, she decided to confront the Chief Guard. He smiled at her and agreed.

It didn't take long for Qwynth to realize though, that she was far too clumsy on the ground to be of any use. So she resigned. But her true calling came to her rather unexpectedly when a merchant had asked her to fly to Ilyamen and deliver a package to his client. When Qwynh arrived at the client's home, he was quite surprised that his order had come so fast. He then asked her if she would deliver something for his sister after she returned to Seere and he would pay for it, of course. She agreed and with that, she began her career as a delivery girl.

At present, her delivery job is flourishing and she is in constant demand, especially by healers and merchants, delivering packages and medicines to the far away reaches of Naruta.

[Toyoll]

Name: Nariobi
Gender: Female
Age: 19 (Note: Aproximate)
Element: Beast, king cobra affinity (High up on her right thigh)

Physical appearance: Nariobi is a cobra affinity, but the only clue to her Beast heritage is her incredibly long snake's tail. She has a fair complexion and shoulder-length hazel hair. Her eyes are a lime green colour and, although bright, they tend to look distant. She wears a simple dress and carries most of her possession in a side bag.

History:
Nariobi hails from the northern steppes of Talen'sul, her family lived in the country, isolated from the rest of Naruta. Not much is known about her kin, they were kind, ordinary folk.

No one is sure what happened exactly that fateful night, but the young Nariobi found herself outside in the middle of the barley farm they cultivated one morning. The cobra was covered in gore and her tiny house has long since been burnt to the ground with her family no where to be seen. The poor child, no older than two or three could only stare blankly into nothingness, her mind almost audibly snapping.

Shabti, a king cobra who was a friend of the family's, came across Nariobi. He gently whispered to her for days, bringing her rats for sustenance. Eventually, Nariobi began to react to Shabti's kindness and he slowly reeled her back from the shadows. But her mind remained damaged. Nariobi was flighty and hated strangers, deeming them ugly and frightening.

Even Shabti was surprised when her behavior took an unexpected turn, Nariobi became violent, viciously biting and poisoning these "ugly people". She was no longer the introverted child who was only a danger to herself, she was now a hate-filled adolescent bent on making Naruta "beautiful" by killing off all the ugly people.

((Update))

After visiting a Mind doctor in Sensatia, Nariobi's past was revealed: Her father, a Wind elemental, hated his daughter. Every day, he would stare at that hideous tail... A Beast! A Beast in his home! The father began to doubt that she was even sired by him and so began to blame the mother, an Earth elemental. She was beautiful and kind and she loved her child dearly.

One day, father came home, but something was wrong. The Beast girl immediately picked up on the feeling and ran to her mother, who looked pale. In his hands was a dagger.

He grabbed Nariobi with the intention of severing her ugly tail, give her a chance at life, he said. Horrified, mother sent her vines flying at his throat and the pair struggled for a long time. Nariobi's green eyes were riveted on her parents, but she never shed a tear.

Eventually, the poor toddler was left with a father hung by vines and a mother with a knife in her chest. And when the full terror of the moment finally hit Nariobi, all she could do was scream and run from the house. Her long, clumsy tail hitting an oil lamp on her way out and, soon, the house was engulfed by flames...

Nariobi has since had her mind altered by a Mind doctor, she had become the tame and childish Nari that her friend Shabti loved so much. And he has even become her surrogate father.

[Toyoll]

Name: Aakel Obrhim
Gender: Female
Age: 20-23 (most native Beasts do not bother with ages)
Element: Beast, red fox affinity (right shoulder), Fire (lower abdomen, to the left)

Physical appearance: Aakel is a red fox affinity, but this is sometimes difficult to identify. She looks almost entirely human, with only a few discrete animalistic features. Yellow-amber eyes, diminuative fangs and elegantly pointed ears and small claws. (many mistake her for a feline)

Aakel, the Fire Vixen, as she is sometimes called, has a voluptuous, but powerful, build and very dark, golden skin wich contrasts with her bright, copper-red hair. She can always be seen with a highly sarcastic smirk on her lips.

History: Officer Warrior Aakel Obrhim, unlike Nyala, was brought up in one of the noble families with only two older siblings.

Her dam was a fierce cougar affinity and a Warrior with a reputation. She herself was born to the south of the province and had a thick accent, wich she passed on to her son and daughters. Sadly, she was killed during the Clear War, carrying what was going to be her fourth child with her. But it was an honourable death and her offspring can only hope that they, too, could go down in flames and glory as their mother did.

As for Aakel's sire, he has disappeared soon after she was born. All that the family knows for sure was that he was a passing Fire elemental who seems to have caught their mother's fancy.

Aakel was the only one of the children who inherited their father's element and was one of the very few double element Poldorans. Although she very rarely used it, touching her sign only when there was a fire to be lit, so she earned her rank through purely traditional means. i.e. Strength and a little boost from their dam's reputation.

After meeting her mate, Thavan, Aakel grew more and more curious about the rest of Naruta, having never left her homeland before. The fire vixen grew restless, especially after hearing of Nyala's stories, so after much thought, she decided that it was time for her to go on her own Force Quest.

Aakel learned many, many things. She spent time with their sister tribe Aluvar, traveled to the northern reaches of Talen'sul and was trained how to use her Fire sign in Naurorod. She never got another sign, but was very satisfied just to unlock the potential of her fire abilities. In a way, it was almost like getting a whole new element.

Happy with what she had seen and accomplished, Aakel headed home.
