Chevis Maelstrom (Svefra)

[Chevis Maelstrom]

Basic Information Race: Svefra Birthday & Age : 30, Spring 77, 481 AV Gender: Male Height: 6'5" Weight: 175lbs Hair Color: Dark Brown Eye Color: Deep Blue, almost black Tavan: Sea Turtle (Tiana) Lia: Turquoise Maelstrom Maelstrom Pardisa: Hammerhead Shark Physical Description Lean, muscular, Chevis is by no means a large bulky warrior. He is tall, lithe, with strong but lean muscles. He's very flexible, and fast, but falls short in terms of brute strength. He has long hair along the center line of his head, and shorter on the sides, with long bangs. Sometimes he puts it up into a disheveled Mohawk, but more often it falls to one side, and the bangs fall forward. He has a large tattoo on his back, of a dolphin and a shark fighting the currents of a whirlpool as they pursue each other. Character Concept He's lived an relatively easygoing, by Svefra standards, but hardworking life. He can often be found fishing, swimming, or rearing young ones when at sea. When on shore he is usually getting into trouble. He likes to press his luck with land dwellers, mostly small time, barfights, minor stealing, flirting with married women, etc. He never does anything more than minor annoyances or disturbances. Unless a Nal'lyeo is called. Then he goes all out, always showing up as fast as he can and doing as much and as showy as he can be. Character History Living a standard, easy life as a Svefra. He's visited many ports, reared many children, but never sired his own. He was taken in by the Maelstrom pod as a young boy when his parents ship was destroyed in a storm. They put him in a barrel, then tied themselves to it when they knew their ship was lost. The barrel survived, his parents did not. Their bodies still tied to the barrel, unknown to him, birds of the sea began to eat at their flesh en masse. After two to three days, and nearing death's door by dehydration he was picked up by the Maelstrom pod, and quickly adopted. He was never told of the bodies tied to the barrel and assumed his parents died in the storm. Since then he's just been enjoying an easy life at sea.

Abstract

If one were to describe the Maelstrom's with a singular word, that word would have to be TROUBLE. When the Maelstrom's are around, any organization seems to dissolve into light-hearted chaos. Lia Turquoise has used her tavan, the hammerhead shark, as the Pradisa which has interestingly enough never changed in all of the Maelstrom's long existence. Thus, the Maelstrom's believe that whomever acquires a tavan that is a hammerhead shark close around the time of Turqoise's death, will automatically become Lia, bucking all Svefra tradition.

Unusually, the Maelstrom's have a history of twins in the family as the current Lia is a twin (Malachite is deceased). They are friendly, approachable, and have a fairly even balance of craftsman, musicians, and artisans throughout their ranks. To an individual, almost every Maelstrom knows one or more forms of magic. They do not fear arcana, but rather embrace it as yet another tool in the pods rather extensive arsenal. The Maelstroms are known to adopt orphaned Svefra (and blue-eyed humans), treating them as their own.

The current Pod is composed of three Palivar's and numerous assorted Casinor. Renal, a shipwright, has long dreamed of crafting a Navar if his family grows enough because he knows the last Navar, belonging to the last Lia'Tavanka was either dry-docked or burned upon her death.

There are positions available for membership in the Maelstrom pod. Siblings are always welcome as well as parallel lines of family members from aunts and uncles thus creating cousins of the current siblings. Adoptive members are also welcome. We'd like people who know their way around roleplay and have proven themselves to commit to a PC for long periods of time.
