[Chapiko]

Chapiko Chaktawe formerly part of the Tutsuwaat tribe. Name ▲ Chapiko Gender ▲ Female Age&Birthdate ▲ 20, Winter 17th 491 AV Height▲ 5'7" Weight ▲ 164 lbs Tawna [native] ▲ Common [conversational] ▲ Shiber [poor] ▲▲▲▲▲▲▲ Looks▲▲▲▲▲▲▲ Raven black hair like that of her race frames a face concentrating on things unnoticed by anyone else. Crow feathers dangle haphazardly in her black tresses, almost blending with the same silky sheen of crow and hair, although she hasn't worn feathers in a while. Reflecting the gold-red hues of the desert and the sun give it a brownish-reddish tint sometimes, but not all the time. Its length is long, cascading down her back in a tumble of slightly knotted waves. Eyes as black as the kohl that the Eypharians line their eyes with, sparkling with an odd curiosity of something that is unknown to even her. One time or another, she had decided to get a tattoo. Of a red crow, of course, to remind herself of where she comes from. It is on her stomach, directly above her navel. Her legs, longer than would be normal for a human, end in feet with thick, leathery pads and webbed toes, keeping her from sinking into the sand. Fingertips, littered with miniscule black dots, which are filled with a gel that can sense disturbances in the air caused by movement. She weighs more than she looks, due to a special organ that stores water, allowing her to last for 10 days without. For clothing, she wears a simple bodice laced along the sides with leather cords, pants (ending mid-calf due to her longer legs,) and leather high boots. While wearing pants and footwear is unconventional for a Chaktawe, it is seen as a necessity if she so desires to not stand out (as much.) She's obviously muscular, more so from her life in the desert and less of working out. ▲▲▲▲▲▲▲ Personality▲▲▲▲▲▲▲ Chapiko's an odd one. Her mood changes faster than an Eypharian fashion trend, leaving her slightly unpredictable and confusing. This doesn't keep her from being friendly with those in her tribe, and even outsiders. She sometimes thinks in cryptic riddles that only she can seem to understand or make sense of, but they don't hinder her ability to act 'normal'. While she can notice subtle patterns that most others can not, some of the most blatantly obvious happenings can escape her notice. Koko isn't simple-minded or dull, though many times she can seem as if she is. As a devout worshiper of Makutsi and Eywaat, she prays to them daily. Chapiko is like the Chaktawe's patron god, Eywaat, in the fact that she is certainly clever. Though, she is not particularly known for being wise like Eywatt, nor is she known to be as wild and passionate as Makutsi. Sometimes quiet and mostly odd, she is much like the rest of the Tatsuwaat. The night terrors and phantom whispers from the desert forced her to leave the beautiful sand of Eyktol in an effort to make them leave her alone, but that attempt was futile, as they have followed her. Even thinking of them can chill her to the bone, no matter how hot Syna shines. "So they have killed plenty of fellow Chaktawe. Many things have killed plenty of fellow Chaktawe. You don't have to take out all your hate on the Tsana." Another confusing thing about Chapiko is her love for the Tsana. She considers them noble and lovely beasts (for whatever reason, it's unknown,) and she always has. In her eyes, they are beautiful and she has always wanted one as a pet, but the man-eating tendencies and lack of cuddliness have always gotten in her way. She doesn't just like Tsana though. With an odd love for scaly creatures, she has the more-achievable goal of obtaining a pet snake. A pet Tsana is still on her list though, to the horror of many. Quick List About Chapiko: Hears voices at night, except on full moons. The voices don't usually talk, just call her name. Makes her paranoid and freaky. On full moons, as if to make up for the lack of voices, she's a little insane and thinks that she's the master of a little game. Twin sister was taken by Zith when they were 7, and she's on a quest to find her. (Sorta.) Her twin sister being taken is the reason she hears the voices. Night terrors (semi-often) about 2 - 3 times a week, makes it really hard for her to fall asleep and she can usually only recall details until about an hour after she wakes up. Completely and utterly terrified of most Zith. More to come. ▲▲▲ History▲▲▲ Coming soon to a theater near you...

▲▲▲▲▲▲▲ Tell Me About Yourself▲▲▲▲▲▲▲ General Information : 1. What is your Name? Chapiko. Just Chapiko. 2. Do you go by a nickname or pet name? Koko and Coal. Wrenmae started calling me that as payback for calling him 'May the Wren'. 3. How old are you? 20. 4. What is your height? 5'7". Everyone's so short and it makes me feel so tall... 5. What is your weight? No thanks. Aesthetics : 1. Describe yourself as you see yourself. There. In the background, playing my little games. And my hair is great. 2. Describe yourself as others typically see you. Some say I'm gorgeous but it's all thugs and petty thieves around here. Not my type. 3. What is your favorite body feature? Maybe my eyes...the unnerve people sometimes, no colour or whites. Silly humans and their coloured eyes, can't get used to anything else. 4. How physically fit are you? As fit as necessary. I'll get better. 5. How do you typically dress and what is your style? I wear the top typical of the Chaktawe...but I also wear pants and high leather boots that go up to my knees. The pants fit...I guess...but they're a little small and my legs are too long for them. But they work. Family : 1. Who are your parents and what are they like? BORING. My mother, Shajakoni, came from the Kalanue tribe. My father, Juop, is from the Tatsuwaat. They didn't do anything with their life. They still don't. I want to try something no one else has tried, just to make up for it! 2. Do you have any brothers or sisters? My little brother, Okashpapar, was only 4 when I left. I'm surprised my parents had waited so long to have another child. I suppose he has a name now, but I'm not sure what it could be. He called me Koko. I also had a twin sister. Her name was Pasho. I like her name. Slavers took her. I want her back. I'm looking for her, that's one of the reasons I left Eyktol. Ever since she left, the night terrors started. And the whispers. Maybe they're calling me towards her? I don't know. I was only 7. 3. What is your extended family like? All of them? I consider all the Chaktawe my extended family, the Tatsuwaat tribe especially. I can't describe them all. 4. Do you consider close friends as important or more/less important than family? As important. Friends can help where family can't. A family member who is also a close friend is the best person you can find. 5. Do you treat animals like family? I love animals, snakes especially. And Tsana. If I ever receive a pet, I would treat them like family. Location : 1. Where were you born? Eyktol, traveling with the Tatsuwaat tribe. 2. Where do you live now? Sunberth. It sucks here. I'm making friends, though. 3. If you could live anywhere in Mizahar where would that be? With my sister, Pasho. Preferably in Eyktol. 4. Do you have a favorite place to vacation or spend leisure time? Away from the city. 5. Where do you fear to be? Slaver's Caravan. I'm terrified of those. It's not fair that they took her! They should have taken me! She should have hidden behind that rock! Traits : 1. Do you have any physical weaknesses (disease, scars, and missing limbs?) Weaknesses? Nah. 2. Are you right handed or left handed? I feel more comfortable holding a tattooing needle in my left hand, if that's what you meant. 3. What languages do you speak? What do you sound like? Do you have an accent? I speak Tawna much better than Common and Shiber. I am gods-awful at Shiber. I only really know a smattering of phrases and swears. I sound...well, hmm. I can't really describe that. I know I have a heavy accent though, and if I talk fast my Common can be intelligible. I'll talk fast sometimes anyways. 4. Do you have any odd mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics? I hear whispers at night, calling my name. They can be beautiful sometimes. I get night terrors a few times a week, too. I also keep a few mizas in the waistband of my pants. 5. Do you have (or want to get) any tattoos or piercing? Why do you have them (or will get them) ? I have a red crow tattoo just above my naval, to remind myself of where I came from. I'm thinking of getting some more tattoos and some piercings soon. Occupations : 1. What is your occupation? Tattoo artist. Not that good, but I'm getting better. 2. Do you like/dislike your work? Why? I love my work. Permanent body art has always appealed to me, and it pays well. 3. If you could be anything you wanted to, what would you be? Happy. 4. What occupation do you admire the most? Why? Tattooing, piercing, scarring...any type of body art appeals to me. And tracking is very useful. 5. What occupation do you lest like? Why? Thieves annoy me. Not sure why, they just do. Slavers are terrifying, as well. Childhood : 1. What sort of child were you? The good kind! I assure you. 2. What is your favorite memory from childhood? Successfully tattooing someone, without messing up the pattern. I was only allowed to use temporary inks for a while... 3. What is your worst memory from childhood? Watching Pasho be taken by the slavers. 4. What sort of relationship did you have with your parents? I'm not really sure. 5. Who was your most influential rolemodel? I forgot his name. He's the one that taught me tattooing. Education : 1. What sort of education do you have? Um...I can tattoo stuff...I can't really read or write though. 2. Do you like/dislike learning? I like learning. 3. Where or how did you learn most of your skills/abilities? I was taught them. The Tatsuwaat are the most artistic of the Chaktawe tribes... 4. How do you learn best? I have to have something shown to me. Otherwise, I get confused. 5. What are your educational goals for the future? I want to learn how to read and write and do math... Relationships : 1. Do you form close bonds with people? Why? Why not? It depends on the person. 2. Do you trust people easily? If not, why not? Not easily, really. It all depends on what's going through my mind. 3. Do you consider yourself straight, gay, bi or something else? No. 4. Have you ever been kissed? If so, describe the first time. Sadly, no. 5. Have you ever had sex? If so, describe the first time. No. Drugs and Alcohol : 1. Have you ever been drunk?
