Siiri of the Snapping Jaws Siiri by GrimNo7 Contents : Siiri of the Snapping Jaws - Main Capabilities Possessions Contacts Thread List Body Markings Q & A Physical Information Race: Myrian Birthday & Age : Season of Fall Day 27, 485 AV; 24 Gender: Female Physical Description Strong of arm and fleet of foot, Siiri is built like the typical Myrian warrior: sleek but powerful, muscular but agile. Standing at six feet tall, she would be an imposing woman in any other setting but among her people she blends right in. Siiri has long, wavy dark brown hair which she usually keeps braided into cornrows around her head, the ends of which are tied with crocodile teeth or beads, depending on whether she's going to battle or attending a festive event respectively. Her facial features are sharp, almost fierce, even when her face is relaxed - almond-shaped eyes, an aristocratic nose that others liken to the hooked beak of a bird of prey, thin lips whose corners seem to perpetually point downwards, a defined jawline that angles steeply into a strong but pointed chin - giving her a rather haughty, even arrogant, look. That she almost always has one eyebrow raised does not help either. It is an appearance that she uses to keep her distance from most people. Which is a pity, as most Myrian men would tell you, as she looks quite attractive on the rare times her lips break into a smile, lighting up her dark green eyes and melting away the fierceness of her features. Numerous scars mar Siiri's bronze complexion, though they enhance her aura as a warrior rather than detract from it. Most noticeable is the one that runs straight down the left part of her forehead, leaving her left eyebrow split right in the middle and continuing for about an inch down her cheekbone. Whatever had caused the wound had left her the eye and upper and lower eyelids undamaged. Siiri has an elaborate tattoo of a crocodile biting a snake on her left arm. The snake circles her wrist like a bracelet, while the crocodile is biting it just below the head, its snout extending to the back of her hand. The crocodile's body coils up around the rest of her arm, its tail ending on her shoulder. When she twists her wrist this way and that, the tattoo creates a sort of optical illusion, making it seem as if the crocodile is performing its deadly attack, the death roll, with the snake as its victim. Character Concept Siiri is a proud and headstrong woman, almost to a fault that others sometimes mistake these qualities as arrogance and bullheadedness. This puts others off at times, as she can be perceived as aloof and distant, cold and haughty. As a warrior of the Taloban military as well as a promising representative of the Snapping Jaws clan in the army, Siiri takes her responsibilities seriously, as she regards everyone in Taloba to be under the sphere of her protection from the obvious and less obvious dangers of the jungle, as well as from any possible incursion of the neighboring Dhani. Devoted to Myri, she emulates her goddess when it comes to protecting the city fortress, employing ruthless tactics on anyone and anything she finds intruding within the Myrian domain without permission. She encourages her subordinates and peers to do the same. Strangers who venture into her unit's usual patrolling routes have but a single chance to identify themselves when called out before being peppered by arrows should they fail to answer, or even fail to give a satisfactory reply. Siiri takes great pride in her physical prowess in the martial arts. Among her clanmates, there are few who can best her in melee combat, and none have yet to beat her in unarmed combat. On the rare occasion that she does lose, she would nurse a bruised ego for days, stewing privately as she trains to improve herself further. While she recognizes the uses and advantages of bows and other projectiles, especially when it comes to protecting the city, she personally disdains using any form of ranged weapon, relying instead on melee weapons and her own strength in arms to overcome her adversaries. One of her goals is to become an elite fighter amongst her people, to be counted among the best of the best. Despite the misconceptions about her personality, Siiri can be quite good with children, oftentimes found instructing the youth in the art of combat or in jungle survival when she is off duty. She is more patient and gracious with the real young ones, though there have been occasion when she lost her temper dealing with a particularly slow child. Siiri believes that the youth are the key for her race to reclaim its lost glory; each generation only swells the ranks of her people. One day, she believes, with their numbers, they will finally expel all the invaders within the lands of Falyndar. Despite this however, Siira chooses not to bear children anytime within the near future. Though she has shared her bed with a few men already, that is all it was: nights of passion and desire with another. She hasn't establish any long term relationship with any. She opts instead to enjoy the independence of continuing to live the life of a warrior. Siiri's dearest possession is a metal greatsword called "Serpent Slayer", or simply "Slayer". It is a weapon she's inherited from her aunt, Shara, twinborn of Siiri's own mother, who died in a fight against a Dhani Constrictor. Character History Siiri is the third child and the second daughter of Erha, the current matriarch of the Snapping Jaws clan. The eldest, Tala, the first daughter and four years Siiri's senior, was born with a defect: one of her legs was smaller than the other. It was rare for a Myrian to have such deformities, and the poor girl got teased and ridiculed about it by her peers as she was growing up. Siiri would always jump in and defend her sister's honor, and usually she would end up fighting with the other children, who were older and bigger than her. Though Siiri would, more often than not, end up with a bloody lip (as well as a good amount of scolding and punishment from her mother...for starting a fight and not winning it), this endeared her to her sister, as well as to her aunt and her own mother's twinborn sister, Shara. Shara was a scout serving the Myrian military and she took Siiri under her wing. She taught Siiri everything she knew, focusing most especially on how to fight unarmed as well as the twohanded sword technique she favored, a style most Myrian warriors did not use because of there was usually not much space in the jungle to make it effective. Shara made it work for herself however, and Siiri absorbed the technique in no time. One day, while training a ten year old Siiri, Tala came up to them and asked to be taught to fish. The girl was eager to prove herself useful to her people. Already an expert in weaving and pottery, as well as a crackshot in archery, Tala still wanted to expand her set her skills. While Shara recognized it as a case of the girl overcompensating for her infirmity, she still gave in. The Basin's waters had receded and was sure to be calm. Siiri and Habin, first son of Ehra and Tala and Siiri's brother, accompanied them. Siiri and Tala's guardian riamms tagged along as well. It was to be a day of tragedy however. While in their boat, two large and hungry Dhanis in their snake forms suddenly attacked from beneath the waters. Caught by surprise, Shara was only able to distract one of the Dhanis to attack her instead of the children, who were terrified at seeing the Dhani up close for the first time. The two riamms engaged the other snake who had attacked Habin, and all four perishing beneath the waters of the Basin. Before being wrapped by it crushing coils, Shara was able to toss her greatsword to Siiri. Paralyzed by fear, it took a while for Siiri to act, but eventually she beheaded the Dhani that was crushing the life out of her aunt. Both Myrian warrior and the headless snake fell into the waters of the Basin. Despite having two of her limbs broken by the Dhani, Shara would have been saved had her thrasing in the water not attracted a crocodile. It was over the moment beast clamped its jaws on the poor woman's arm and began its deadly attack, the death roll. Shara lost the limb and drowned. Maddened by grief and despair at watching her favorite aunt die, Siiri jumped in the water and stabbed at the reptilian killer with her dagger. The Basin's waters were colored red that day. By that time, other Myrian fishermen and warriors had come to their aid. A fortunate thing, for Siiri would have been the victim of another crocodile attack. They pulled the grieving girl, already half-drowned, out of the water, as well as her kill. The crocodile had its throat slit, its eyes gouged out, as well as more than ten stab wounds. Despite the deaths, Siiri was greeted like a hero upon her return to Taloba, for her bravery in slaying the crocodile. Shara's greatsword was awarded to her as inheritance. Siiri despised accolades bestowed upon her however, blaming herself for not acting faster. Perhaps her aunt, and brother, would still be alive if she did. To this day, she still wears the teeth of the crocodile she slew on as a headband and on the ends of her hair. Its skin she had made into boots and offered them to her sister. Tala refused them however. She too blames herself for what happened. She never stepped out of Taloba again after that day, and is only usually found inside Ehra's house, shamed as she is for what her choices had led to. Disclaimer: I do not own the images above.

Gnosis Marks: Gnosis God Level Acquisition Description Prowess Myri 1 Starting Package (Special permission) Obtained in her Coming of Age trial, the Goddess-Queen's gnosis can be found on the back of Siiri's right hand. It depicts three blooded weapons: a large sword, presumably a greatsword, framed by two daggers on each side, their points aligned with the three middle knuckles of her fist. Ennervism Yahal 1 The Heart of an Immense Darkness [pending thread completion] Located on Siiri's left palm is a single letter inscribed in the Shiber alphabet, part of the god's name in that language. Tattoos: Body Part Acquisition Description Left Arm Starting Package A Crocodile biting a snake - The snake circles her wrist like a bracelet, while the crocodile is biting it just below the head, its snout extending to the back of her hand. The crocodile's body coils up around the rest of her arm, its tail ending on her shoulder. When she twists her wrist this way and that, the tattoo creates a sort of optical illusion, making it seem as if the crocodile is performing its deadly attack, the death roll, with the snake as its victim. Chest (Cleavage) Predators - 70th of Spring, 510 AV Spirit Wolf - a tattoo Siiri had made as a symbol of the bond between her and Miharu. The snout of the wolf is positioned just at the right angle so that will look as if it is kissing her on the part of he chest where her heart would be. Scars: Body Part Acquisition Description Left eye area First Blood - 79th of Winter, 492 AV A scar obtained from a boar hunt, it never healed properly and always seems to turn a deep shade of red when Siiri gets worked up or is angry.

Left hand Stranger in a Strange Land - 25th of Summer, 510 AV A circular scar at the front and back of Siiri's left hand where Satu's suvai pierced it in their first fight.

Right forearm Tough Break - 27th of Summer, 511 AV Jagged lines caused by a crocodile's bite run around the flesh of Siiri's right forearm. Piercings:

Watching the children learn our arts, and there is much to learn. Most times, I'm in the Training Grounds, even on my days off, watching fights and participating in fights to keep my skills sharp. 5. Where do you fear to be? A Myrian fears nothing! But I would not... want to walk the lands of the dead, Dira forgive my words. Traits : 1. Do you have any physical weaknesses (disease, scars, and missing limbs?) My scars are not physical infirmities! I have many, and I consider them medals of honor, achieved in glorious battle. Each has a story. Perhaps I'll regale them to you sometime. Or perhaps not. 2. Are you right handed or left handed? I favor my right hand, but I use both limbs in unarmed combat. One must utilize everything available to achieve victory in such situations. 3. What languages do you speak? What do you sound like? Do you have an accent? I speak the language of my people, though I can understand and speak the common trade tongue as well. I would say I sound like a Myrian woman with a Myrian accent when I speak. 4. Do you have any odd mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics? I was told I tend to crack my knuckles a lot. And I must have picked up my mother's habit of grunting as an expression of disgust. I never noticed either before until they were pointed out. 5. Do you have (or want to get) any tattoos or piercing? Why do you have them (or will get them)? My most elaborate tattoo is the one on my left arm. It is a crocodile, preying on the most untrustworthy of the beasts, the serpent. Yes, it too has a story. I have piercings as well: two on each ear, as well as in other, more... intimate... areas. They are there because I wanted them there. Occupations : 1. What is your occupation? I serve the Myrian military as a warrior. I kill any unwanted foreigners attempting to trespass into Falyndar. 2. Do you like/dislike your work? Why? It is necessary. My work keeps my people and our land safe. 3. If you could be anything you wanted to, what would you be? I think that is a silly question. 4. What occupation do you admire the most? Why? The scouts', for they have the opportunity to see new places. 5. What occupation do you least like? Why? None. I believe everything my people do, be it big or small, contributes to the achievement...no...restoration of our past glory. Childhood : 1. What sort of child were you? Headstrong, I was told. Stubborn, if you listen to those who can't say the word in my face. 2. What is your favorite memory from childhood? Plenty. Most of them involving my Aunt Shara. 3. What is your worst memory from childhood? It was when she passed away. 4. What sort of relationship did you have with your parents? Volatile, at best. 5. Who was your most influential rolemodel? My goddess Myri, of course. What sort of question is that? Education : 1. What sort of education do you have? The kind necessary to be a productive member of Myrian society. 2. Do you like/dislike learning? I enjoy learning new combat styles, complex strategies in tactics and warfare. 3. Where or how did you learn most of your skills/abilities? From firsthand experience. 4. How do you learn best? From firsthand experience. 5. What are your educational goals for the future? Relationships : 1. Do you form close bonds with people? Why? Why not? With deyhan, no. Miharu is an exception. We are one. 2. Do you trust people easily? If not, why not? No. 3. Do you consider yourself straight, gay, bi, or something else? Women are meant to bear children. Those who choose to at least. You cannot have children without a man. 4. Have you ever been kissed? If so, describe the first time. Yes. In a word: fierce. As if I could not wait to shed the bonds of girlhood and turn into the woman I am now. I was a lot younger then. It goes with the next question I anticipate you are about to ask next. 5. Have you ever had sex? If so, describe the first time. Yes. Looking back, the male could have been better, but we were both young and so caught up in our passion that I hardly noticed. More so on his side, I believe. It's only that I consider this so, after having other...partners. Again, as I said, I was younger then. Drugs and Alcohol : 1. Have you ever been drunk? If so, describe your first time. I do not enjoy drinking too much alcohol as it clouds the mind and dulls the senses. I drink during festivities, but in moderation. While I can hold my own in any drinking contest, I do not like the feeling of being inebriated. 2. Do you like to drink on a regular basis? No. 3. What sort of alcohol do you prefer? Whatever is offered. The fruits of the fields are gifts of Caiyha, and must not be turned away. 4. Have you ever tried drugs (mood altering substances)? If so, which kinds and what did you think of them? I have not, to my knowledge. 5. What do you think of drugs and alcohol? Be specific. As I've said, I do not like taking substances that dull my edge in combat. Those substances that enhance the senses, I consider cheating if used in martial contests. If it's used to gain an advantage over an enemy however...I suppose it's alright. But only for that! Likes and Dislikes : 1. What are your hobbies? I enjoy carving wood or bone during quiet moments. Wood is easier when you're on the go since it's easily available. Bone requires more work. 2. Do you like to read? If it is to gain knowledge that would give me an advantage over enemies, yes. 3. What annoys you more than anything else? Ineptitude. 4. What do you find the most relaxing activity to do? Carving. 5. What kinds of things embarrass you? Why? Failure. For obvious reasons. Favorites : 1. What is your favorite color or colors? The Red. Green as well, for that is the color of my eyes. And no, that is not vanity you hear in my voice. 2. What is your favorite time of day? Daybreak. Because the night is over, and any approaching danger will clearly be seen. 3. What is the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen? Miharu's bare form. 4. What do you like to eat? What do you hate to eat? Meat is meat, food is food. If something is not good for eating, then it must not be food. We are not a wasteful people. 5. What is your favorite type of weather? Does any kind scare you? When clouds partially cover the sun. It means it will not be too hot. Torrential rains worry me. It means the Basin will over-flood and the waters will go to places they shouldn't. Crocodiles and other denizens of the rivers will then swim to these places and we will be tasked to drive them back to their territories. Outlook : 1. Are you optimistic or pessimistic? I am realistic. 2. What are your religious views? The Goddess-Queen is foremost in our pantheon. 3. Would you be able to kill? Do you think I have not? 4. What are your views on sex? Pleasurable, if done right. 5. What, in your opinion, makes a successful life? Discipline. Actions : 1. What is the worst and best thing you’ve ever done? 2. What is your greatest regret? 3. What is your best/worst memory? 4. If you could change one thing about your past, what would it be and why? 5. What are you the most proud of doing in your life? Emotions : 1. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings with others? 2. Do you have any biases or prejudices? 3. What makes you happy? 4. Who or what, if anything, would you die for? For Myri, for my people. For those under my protection. 5. What makes you angry? Plenty. Pointless questions, for example. Relationships : 1. In general, how do you treat others? Like how they treat me. 2. Who is the most important person in your life, and why? Miharu. She is my bondmate. We are one. 3. Who is the person you respect the most, and why? Myri. You ask the most ridiculous of questions. 4. Do you have a spouse or significant other? If not, describe an ideal lover. Yes. 5. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why? I believe in self-reliance, meaning you should be able to protect yourself rather than depend on others to do so. Granted, Miharu seems to have taken it upon herself to protect me from any and all threats she perceives but I am more than capable of defending myself. Group Situations : 1. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict? I will speak out what I feel when I want to. 2. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations? If the rest are too meek, and group dynamics are not defined. If there is no appointed leader, one must step up. Better me than someone incompetent. 3. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not? It depends on who, why and where. 4. Do you care what others think of you? Their opinion of me is none of my business. My opinion of them should be none of theirs. 5. What do you think of others, in general? Self Image : 1. What is your greatest strength as a person? 2. What is your greatest weakness? My mother said I have trust issues. 3. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? 4. Are you generally introverted or extroverted? 5. Are you generally organized or messy? Beliefs : 1. What God or Goddess do you find most appealing, if any? Myri. 2. Which God or Goddess do you fear, if any? 3. Do you have any Gnosis Marks? If so, how did you receive them? Myri's mark, from when I completed my Coming of Age trials. Yahal's gift of strength during my time in Hai. 4. What lengths would you go to to please your deity? If she asked me and told me the purpose for it, I would slit your throat without remorse. 5. Where do you draw the line at pleasing your deity? What is too much? I do not know how to answer that question. My life is Myri's but I pray not to discover the answer to that question in my lifetime. Life & Death : 1. What do you absolutely live for? 2. What is the best part of life? 3. What is the best part of death? 4. If you could choose, how would you want to die? 5. What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death?
