Birthday: 55th of Fall 498 AV
Birthplace: The Suvan
Employment: tbd / pending

Appearance:

Nacira is a slender young Svefra woman with bright blue eyes and long dark hair. Her skin is lightly sunkissed with a smattering of freckles across her nose, shoulders and knees. She stands a bit on the shorter side of 5'4" and is on the slender side with only subtle curves to her name.

She tends to wear billowy Svefra-esque clothing, preferring loose tunics and trousers or peasant shirts and loose skirts that she can pull about and buckle to keep it up and out of the way when wading through water. While she tends to prefer to go barefoot she does have a pair of boots tucked into her Casinor somewhere too. Her hair is usually tucked into a sash or scarf with her bangs sticking out the front.

Tattoos / Scars / Marks :

Her Pod Tattoo is an orca and located on her arm atop her deltoid muscle and creeping into her chest a bit.

Not a tattoo per-say, but she has a mark of Oceanus that looks like swirling water above her pod tattoo that creeps up the side of her neck and stops about where her jaw lines up with her neck.

As for piercings she has one in her naval, and ears x2 each. Her naval had a silver ring in it and hear ears have rabbit-bone earrings.

Character Concept

Nacira is a pleasant individual who seems to encompass many common Svefra ideals. She is always happy to celebrate just about anything with just about anyone. If you can forgive her cultural oddities she is willing to befriend just about anyone of any race so long as she know how to have fun, or at least are willing to come along for the ride. While she is Svefra first and foremost, she has been raised to understand some outsider culture, such as that not all Humans have the same idea of a lack of ownership that Svefra tend to, so while she typically does not believe that something belongs to someone if it's just sitting there, she's since learned the time and place to exercise that concept.

Despite her happy go lucky mentality, she tends to have moments of somber thought. She lost her entire pod recently when their Lia wanted to make a trip into the greater oceans surrounding Mizahar. It was truly an accident, but it effected her deeply and in the last year she has been trying to find a new pod that fits. It has proven difficult because seeing every new pod and interacting with them reminds her of what she lost.

Character History

Nacira was born to the Whiterapid Pod that primarily hung out in the Northern part of the Suvan. She did occasionally make their way out of the Suvan and to ports like Zeltive from time to time, but they tended to stay in the Suvan as most of their vessels were Casinors, with only the Lia and her immediates sailing in something larger. Nacira's mother was a seventeen year old Svefra named Jirayne Whiterapid, who was the niece of the Lia of the pod. Her father was a newly welcomed Svefra from another pod named Finnegan. It was a fleeting fancy that broke off on good terms and Nacira was able to grow up knowing both her parents, as well as the rest of the pod.

It was, for a Svefra, a happy childhood. She never wanted to company or attention and she often spent her time either playing with cousins and later on siblings on the boats, or when they docked in a port, playing with the dolphins and otters that followed the pod. She bonded with her first Tavan at the age of four, it was a small otter that befriended her then.

For the most part her life was normal. As a teenager she was eventually given a Casinor so she could venture off when she liked, or stay back when the rest went to port. She and her aging Otter Tavan would fish and play, ocassionally going on little trips to visit the southern Suvan (she enjoyed the weather there much more) and even exploring the beaches of Falyndar, but never stray too far from her boat, always keeping it in eyesight. It was during this time she received her Pod tattoo as well, of an orca as the Lia's Pardisa was an Orca and many of her older children bonded to that orcas pod.

In the summer of 515 her Lia decided to head for Zeltiva. Everything seemed routine for them, but Nacira had little interest in the stuffy port city with its sailors guild and university, so she opted to stay back. Her Lia arranged for a friendly pod to check in with her from time to time until they returned and then they left. It seemed things were going as planned until they hit Rockward Island and got caught in a storm. As far as Nacira is aware they all perished, either thrown off their boats and drowned in strong currents, or their ships sent right into rocks and destroyed.

Since then she has sailed the Suvan looking for a new pod and trying to get over her loss. Part of her blames herself for not being there with them, for not returning to Laviku with her family. She also feels anger at being left behind with their deaths. With her being the last Whiterapid.

Gnosis

 

Oceanus I

Marked individuals can first and foremost spot Otani readily. Otani will recognize them and often seek them out to play and communicate. Individuals with one Laviku mark can also drink salt water and have the mark automatically convert it to fresh water for ocean survival. Individuals know the direction of the sea if they are on land and how far away it is (in aprox miles). They also immediately recognize where progression tide is, meaning if it is incoming or outgoing or in transition between.

Can Sense Currents & control minor, local currents.
Can Control individual predator their size or smaller, or control multiple small animals such as schools of small fish
Can Detect Sea life in the surrounding 1 Nautical Mile

Companions (npcs)

 

Tavan

Name: Bastion
Age: 3 Years (born
Species: Male Orca
Length: 5 meters (16 ft)
Weight: Roughly 3 tons
Appearance: A bit small for an Orca, though still relatively young and likely from a smaller variation of the species, Bastion is an average looking Orca. His body is mostly charcoal and white with forward slanting eye patches and his dorsal half being more black while his belly and chest are more white. The only thing that might help identify him among a group of other Orca would be that a relatively small piece of his dorsal fin is missing, it looks as if it was bitten off some time ago and since healed.
Personality: Bastion is a social creature and often grows irate with Nacira for her lack of a pod. He lost his pod when she lost hers, though there are likely still members of his whale pod somewhere, Nacira's tenancy to stay in the Southern portion of the Suvan makes it harder for him to locate them as his pod primarily enjoyed the cooler northern waters. Besides that he is a good natured thing, though he is his species and enjoys the hunt. He tends to stick close to Nacira's boat when she goes fishing as she tends to have a good sense of where fish are, and on occasion she does toss him some of her catch even if he's eaten most of the school himself already. (Read: he's a giant water cat that likes to eat and torment the Svefra he's bonded to.)
History: Bastion wa spart of the Orca pod that followed the Whiterapid Svefra pod. He bonded to Nacira when he was about a year old after her first tavan, a gull, had passed away. When the pod began their trip to Zeltiva he had stayed back with Nacira, hoping to enjoy more time in the Northern Suvan. His pod went missing around the same time hers did, though if Nacira was more interested in the Northern waters he would probably find a few of his kin still swimming around.
