Kelski
Physical Appearance:
Because she has been unbonded for so long in her life, Kelski often passes easily for an unusual human so long as she doesn't look anyone in the eyes. Her steel grey gaze often makes people uncomfortable and clues them in that something isn't right about her. Her coloring seems to reinforce that fact. Kelski has an incredibly porcelain coloring to her skin. To say she was white would be an understatement. She looks like she never gets sun at all even though she loves being outside under Syna's rays.
Her hair is down to her rear and naturally falls in loose full curls. Its rich black color is streaked with white periodically though the overall look seems more eccentric human than natural kelvic. Kelski has wide expressive grey eyes sometimes look blue in the right light. Her eyes are ringed with thick black lashes and what looks like an overuse of kohl though it is her natural coloring and not cosmetics. Her lips are also black rimmed that fades into white ombre in the center. Sometimes she dabs cosmetics on her lips to hide the unusual coloring that tends to look slightly blue in certain light. Kelski rarely laughs or talks with her mouth open. The inside of her mouth is blackish grey that often reads more blue. It is not a sickly color but more of a natural deep stain like some dog breeds have.
It is an unusual coloring that will often give her away as kelvic and clue the observer into the fact that she isn't human. Kelski is naturally fit with a body that is corded with muscle. Her arms are defined due to the long hours she spends in the air. She moves with animal grace and it shows in how her body is put together. Lacking excess fat, her waist is small and her legs are long. She has enough chest that no one would think she was anything but female, but that is about the extent of her assets. Kelski likes to dress in black and white leather, ombre dresses, and unusual clothes that play up her unusual coloring. For all that she's kelvic, she still is very much aware that she's a sentient living thinking creature too.
As a Sea Eagle, Kelski weighs ten pounds and has wingspan of over seven feet. Her body has a white head, rump and underparts, with a black back and wings. While soaring, her black flight feathers on the wings are easily seen and identified from below. Her large, hooked bill is a leaden blue-grey with a darker tip, and her eyes are bright grey. Her cere is also lead grey almost black. Her legs and feet are grey with wicked long black talons. Her Sea Eagle form lends her to be territorial, monogamous, and an opportunistic carnivore that consumes a wide variety of animal prey, including carrion.
Character Concept:
Kelski is a loner by nature. She is a quiet soft spoken woman with a rather strong will. Kelski is opinionated, but rarely forms that opinion until she feels she knows enough about the subject to do so.
She loves research and learning. She has a tendency to say what she thinks. Kelski often gives off a vibe that drives people away because it usually reads 'I don't need anyone." The truth is simply that even though her kelvic animal is a formidable predator in its own right, she does need people and actively seeks a bondmate. She simply hasn't found the right person yet. So to cover her loneliness and uncertainty she builds a rough facade about her that reads diamond cold. She often throws herself into her work, not letting anyone tell her that she can't do what she wants or have any career she wants. The Kelvic knows she can. Well into her second year of life, Kelski has never been bonded and is starting to feel like she never will. But, being Kelvic, Kelski has none of the natural hangups most human females have.
Character History:
Like a lot of children her age, Kelski was born right on the heels of the djed storm of 512 AV. Her mother had a rough morning and the stress brought on an early labor. Born to a Svefra couple, Kelski was a complete shock with her exotic coloring and her piercing eyes. They thought the magics of the storm had cursed the child until the Lia had informed them that the entire pod had a problem with periodic Kelvic children being born of the bloodline. Most of them were canines, and so they thought Kelski would be one of these.
The child wasn't born with a mark of Laviku which was a second strike against her. And, unfortunately, the bright blue eyes of birth faded to an unusual steel grey coloring as the girl grew older. Her mother tried to deny the change, but the rest of the Pod eventually made it clear that Kelski had to go. Some advocated tossing her into the sea. But Kelski's mother traded her in the port city of Alvadas for supplies, knowing her daughter would have more of a chance at life that way.
Unlike most babies, Kelski was different. She remembered her mother and father's faces and the smell of them. Lost to her were their names, of course, and the origins of her Pod. She still thinks she can hear their voices and would know their touch anywhere. The man who supplied her parents with trade goods in exchange for her did not raise her like his own as he'd promised her parents. He was a snake oil salesman at heart and instead promptly caged her. Those early years were hard on Kelski and she doesn't like to talk about them. But as she grew she had incredibly good eyesight both far flung and up close so her owner taught her a trade. She learned to do delicate work with her fingers that allowed her to cut gemstones and make jewelry. The more she worked the more he bothered to feed her. And when she grew old enough to shapeshift, he forbid her from doing so because her animal was of no use to him and slightly scared him. So the more violent he got the more withdrawn and independent she became.
One day he simply did not come home. Days passed and she grew famished. Afraid to leave because of the beatings that would come with the punishments, Kelski grew desperate and finally took her forbidden Kelvic form and went to look for food.
Food was acquired and a curiosity grew in her to know what happened to her owner. She wasn't attached to him but rather attached to the idea that not knowing an answer was worse than not ever asking a question. She just needed to know. And in searching for that answer, caught Akajia's attention and received a mark by the Goddess of Night. It was all the reassurance she needed in life to say she wasn't an owned thing, but someone who owned her own life.
She never came back after that. Freedom was as easy as that. The iron collar around her neck was nothing more than fear, not anything real or substantial. She took to the skies and stayed for a season or two in her eagle form, learning to fly and to take care of herself. She grew strong, tough, and independent with a lack of trust in people because they had fists and other body parts that could wound worse than words.
So her life consisted of a year of slavery and a year of freedom. Now, older and driven by the need to bond even if she herself hasn't acknowledged it, Kelski has finally sought a city to settle in and naturally picked one up near the stars. The Kelvic hopes to find a life, some friends, and perhaps something to do with herself other than just survive.
Special Attributes:
Kelski is one of those unfortunate Kelvics that cannot pass for human easily. She has unusual pigmentation to her mucus membrane tissues including her mouth, inner nose, and genitals. Her hair is an ombre black and white and her eyes are a steel grey. Her skin is incredibly pale, almost pure white. If she uses cosmetics, powders her skin, and dyes her hair she could pass for human if she didn't open her mouth or talk to where they could see her features.
