Basic Information
Race: Human, Drykas
Birthday & Age : Winter 474 AV, 39 years old
Gender: Male
Weight: 180lbs
Height: 5'10"
Eyes: Brown with gold flecks
Hair: shoulder length light brown to blonde

Physical Description
Vanator's frame is well muscled, and he boasts exceptionally broad shoulders. Van sports very light brown hair that fades to blonde in the summer. His mane falls just past his shoulders. His skin is a light tan, bearing just a hint of golden warmth and marked by numerous scars. Van's eyes are a hazel, flecked with gold. His strong jaw is kept clean shaven, or thinly stubbled. The Denusk's face is rather youthful-looking for his age. Vanator walks with the prideful stride of an Ankal, and his movements are purposeful and sure.

Van typically dresses in dark trousers of wool, cotton or leather, and shirts of blue or earth tones. He usually wears riding style boots, and on his right hand is a ring of black gold-flecked stone, the Denusk signet etched on its surface.

Distinguishing Marks :
Windmark - Drapes across his upper back and shoulders in a tribal pattern of sharp-tipped curves.
Lakun Marks - Memorializing each wife he has lost. A leafy wreath for Tamar, a spear and ax crossed for Kashik and a snowflake for Khiara.
Reimancy Scars - One in the palm of each hand and one over his heart.
Kuvan Mark - A Riverfall Kuvan mark tattooed on the inside right wrist
Others - Van's arms and torso bear several other non-descript scars, mostly from lion attacks.


Character Concept
Vanator is very Dyrkas-centric, but since moving into the Sanctuary, he has begun to broaden his perspective. It is from the Drykas perspective that he views most everything in his life. Life on the Sea of Grass is typically a short one, and so love, hate and other experiences are embraced with vigor and the lines between them blur. He is fiercely protective of his family and his people. Though mostly even tempered and friendly, his mood can swing to brooding, anger or ardor, all of which he exhibits with Drykas intensity. Van can display a subtle sense of humor, and has no issues enjoying a good time. Vanator has suffered a great many losses which, coupled with the gravity of his responsibilities, often taints his moods with a sober demeanor. Such sobriety can easily be dispelled by a good friend.


Character History
Vanator is the only son and heir of Eachann, the Ankal of the Denusk Pavilion of the Sapphire clan, by his first wife, Nadra. As a boy, he was healthy and strong spirited, all signs that the Pavilion was blessed. He was chosen by a Cyphrus Strider at a late age, but bonded quickly to the strong-willed animal. He was competitive, which perpetually irked him since his younger Konti half-sister, Akela, could almost always best him in a fight. The two were like brothers, brawling, racing and getting into trouble together. A lover of celebrations, roaming the grasslands and hunting, his parents began to pressure him to find a good wife and and bear an heir of his own. At the age of 25, Vanator finally gave in and courted a young woman from a neighboring Pavilion. Tamar was beautiful and gifted in herbalism, even at 17. She was fiery, a trait the Drykas male found most appealing, and the two fell madly in love and married. The depth of their love bode well for the pavilion, so the elder women of the family said.

However, things for the Pavllion began to fall apart. Eachann's third wife, a Konti named Ay'aka, was thrown from her horse and killed. Ay'aka was a source of pride to the clan, having come and eradicated a severe horse plague with her medicine. She brought strength and joy to the family, her konti daughters believed to be omens of prosperity. Ay'aka's loss hit Vanator hard. Though the Konti wife often outshone his own mother, Ay'aka was like a second mother to him.

Bad luck seemed to pursue the Pavilion. Though Vanator and Tamar were fiercely amorous, after five years Tamar had yet to bear a child.

Then tragically, Tamar was suddenly killed during a Zith attack while gathering food. She and a few others had strayed too far from camp. Tamar's body was found, still clutching her long dagger, stained with Zith blood. The only solace for Vanator was that she had not been taken to be a slave or food for the vile creatures.

Tamar's death devastated Vanator, who mourned for over a year. He no longer hunted with others of the Pavilion, choosing to go alone with the dogs or cats. With the support of his family, especially his youngest half-sister, Kavala, Vanator was able to move past the loss of Tamar. But the tragedy had scarred him. Much to his parent's consternation, He had no interest in finding another wife. The superstitious crones among the clan whispered that the daughters of Ay'aka had indeed brought bad luck to the Pavilion. Vanator firmly defended his sisters from such accusations.

But bad things kept happening.

Kavala left to study among the Konti in Mura. Her departure left Vanator without a trusted confidant. Akela became more distant as the clan became more and more suspicious of the affect of her presence on the Pavilion's fate. Though he tried to convince her otherwise, Akela too left camp to find something amid the dry dust to the south.

Finally Vanator's Strider Zura died from a venomous snake bite. The Ankal's son had to ride a common mount until he was chosen by Backlash.

So the brooding heir to the Denusk Pavilion carried on, helping his father lead their people, looking for signs of his sisters' return, roaming the plains.

Vanator was forced into the role of stud, breeding with female slaves. The program failed. This torments him long after his release. Because he was no longer needed for breeding, and due to his strong will and his endless attempts to improve the plight of the slaves, Van was slated to be killed and eaten.

Known Past Lives
Maedoc Drust :
Image
Name: Maedoc Drust
Race: Human
Sex: Male
Facts: Maedoc was an Alahean war mage and a member of the Cytali. There was Suvan blood in his heritage, and many claimed it was why he embraced the ways of war more readily than his scholarly Alahean counterparts, brutal and efficient and bloody in his defense of the Empire. Prejudice towards his Suvan blood also created a ceiling to his elevation in Alahean aristocracy and a distaste for his militaristic concepts. Skilled with Reimancy, Flux and Shielding, he was seen as barbaric for his habit of taking to the battlefield himself, said to have cast forth his deadly magic from one hand and slayed enemies with a charmed weapon in the other. Maedoc was undeniably a war mage of many talents, not only wreaking havoc on the battlefield, but wandering the Chevana for arcane knowledge that helped him magecraft enchanted weapons, armor and items for himself and Alahea's commanders. He was Alahea's War Dog, and the Emperor and Court Mage strove to keep him on his leash.

Caelum is Van's closest male friend. Vanator feels an odd kinship in that the Ethaefal's nightly form is a Drykas, the shape of a man who was an Ankal in a past age. The Ranuri often adds a strange dimension to the friendship, but Vanator trusts Caleum with the deeper things the Eth can discern within him, and the effects his Ranuri may have on Van as well.

Relation: Father
Status: NPC

Eachann was the ankal of the Denusk Pavilion and Vanator's father. Strict but wise, Eachann raised his firstborn son to be his heir. He loved his family, but clung to traditional Drykas ways tenaciously. Eachann was assumed lost during the djed storm.


ImageName: Nadra Denusk
Relation: Mother
Status: NPC

First wife of Eachann Denusk and mother of Vanator. Even tempered and supportive of her ankal husband, Nadra bore with noble grace the fact that Eachann favored his Konti third wife Ay'aka. She was a loving and encouraging mother to the ankal's heir. Nadra was assumed lost during the djed storm.


ImageName: Akela Denusk
Relation: Half-Sister
Status: PC-Inactive

The oldest Konti daughter of Eachann and Ay'ata Denusk and Kavala's sister, Akela was as much a brother to Vanator as any drykas boy could have been. Wrestling and fighting, Akela and Vanator cut their warrior's teeth upon each other. Akela became a skilled swordswoman, and, after the death of her mother and Kavala's departure to Mura, she left the pavilion as well to travel Mizahar. Akela's whereabouts are unknown.


ImageName: Delani Denusk

She was believed lost with the rest of the pavilion during the Djed Storm, but she had survived and Vanator and she were reunited by chance in the Sea of Grass a year later. Delani did not linger long after the reunion, signing up to join the expedition to Syka that left mid-summer 513.



ImageName: Tara Greenleaf
Relation: Childhood Sweetheart
Status: NPC

Tara was Vanator's first crush. Just fifteen years old, the two of them believed they were in love and, consummating their affections, conceived a son. The pregnancy created a small political crisis, and in the end, the boy, named Bolden, was to be raised by Eachann and Nadra as Vanator's brother. Aweston, Head Groom of Sanctuary, is the son of Tara Greenleaf by her later husband. Tara is believed to be dead.

ImageName: Tamar Denusk
Relation: Wife
Status: NPC

Vanator's first true love, he married the young herbalist not long after they met. Amorous and loved by everyone, the Pavilion considered her good luck, paving the way for Vanator to begin his own family and father an heir. The joy waned however, for after five years Tamar had not conceived a child. Vanator did not care, for he loved Tamar deeply. Then, she was suddenly killed in a Zith attack. Her death devastated Vanator, who spent the next several years wrestling with the loss.


ImageName: Pygmy (Dhanya)
Relation: Friend/Children's Mother
Status: PC-Inactive

Pygmy was a Kelvic goat, the first Kelvic Vanator had ever met. Having first met when she strayed from a caravan, Pygmy later arrived in Endrykas and quickly latched onto Vanator. Over the season, their friendship teetered on something more, and a bond started to form, though Vanator, unfamiliar with bonding, did not realize it. When Vanator asked Kashik to marry him, Pygmy was crushed, leaving Endrykas, breaking the bond that had begun to form between them and insisting that he give her a new name. Vanator named her Dhanya. He did not know that she was carrying his twins, Larik and Cadra, whom Kavala delivered at The Sanctuary. She is believed to have been killed a year later in a slaver attack when her children were captured.


ImageName: Hex
Relation: Friend/Lover
Status: PC-Inactive

Hex was a half-Chaktawe Drykas mystic and ghost chaser, by Vanator's definition. Mysterious and a bit odd, Hex and Vanator became friends after an ill-fated attempt to help a friend retrieve a bow from the Zith. Hex later discovered Vanator wounded in the grasslands, and helped treat his wounds, only to be wounded herself when the pair foolishly attempted to steal a glassbeak egg. Their relationship became intimate, but was abruptly ended when Vanator proposed to Kashik. He never saw her again.


ImageName: Kashik Denusk
Relation: Wife
Status: PC-Retired

Though Kashik and Vanator had had a short affair, it was not until a blind arrangement between their families that Vanator finally proposed to her. A Drykas of the Diamond Clan, Kashik was brash, lusty and skilled in Drykas politics, making her a strong First Wife. She bore him his first legitimate son.


ImageName: Khiara Denusk
Relation: Wife
Status; PC-Inactive

Pygmy's Vanthan companion, Khiara and Vanator fell in love, but kept it hidden to protect Pygmy. After Vanator chose Kashik, Khiara too left Endrykas. While visiting Riverfall, Van and Kashik found a suicidal Khiara and took her in. A season later, the Vanthan became Vanator's Second Wife. At the time of Van's capture by the Zith, Khiara was pregnant with her first child. It is assumed Khiara either returned to Avanthal or was lost in the djed storm.


ImageName: Zivatar Denusk
Relation: Son
Status: NPC

Vanator's son by Kashik, his first legitimate and his appointed heir. He was born shortly before Vanator was taken captive. He is assumed lost with his mother.


ImageName: Sybel
Relation: Former fiance', twice.
Status: PC

Sybel and Vanator had a short but passionate relationship while she was in Endrykas. Vanator had proposed, she accepted, but Sybel had a change of heart, and left. Five years later, she arrived at the Sanctuary. Their relationship rekindled, and plans again were made for a wedding. But Van could not tame Sybel's wanderlust, and she once again left to pursue her adventures.


ImageName: Reven Heath
Relation: Bondmate/Lover
Status: Inactive PC

Reven and Vanator met by chance in the field, where she appeared in her cougar form and a tense stand off soon turned to an amiable encounter. Almost immediately the pull of the kelvic bond tugged at them. Vanator was still reeling after Sybel's sudden departure, and resisted his attraction to Reven. In early Spring 514, the two could no longer resist the pull and bonded. Not long after Reven disappeared while hunting.
