Chioma of the Red Clay Physical Description Name: Chioma Race: Myrian Gender: Female Age: 29 years old Birthday: Summer 32, 483 Tattoos: Chioma has a red bowl tattooed on each wrist to denote her family's expertise in pottery Character Concept Chioma is a brazen and slightly foolhardy young woman. Her mother’s firstborn, Chioma was indulged often and became used to getting her way. Neighbors warned her mother of the perils of indulging children but their words fell on deaf ears. Chioma is impatient and dislikes things she views as boring. Somewhat of a show off, Chioma will take great risks if it means the possibility of glory and adulation. She desires to be seen as great of a warrior as Myri but does not have the patience or tenacity to dedicate as much time as she ought to perfecting her skills. Character History More will be filled in as revealed via flashback… Chioma was the firstborn of a proud Myrian woman in 483 AV. Her mother was an excellent potter and warrior, her family was well-known for the beautiful red bowls and platters that they created with the rich Falyndar clay. Impatient child that she was, Chioma only learned the rudimentary pottery skills and spent most of her time watching the warriors practice with wide eyes. Growing older, she took up the spear as a weapon, a typical choice in her family. Foolhardy and full of bravado Chioma got herself into many scrapes and spent much of her young adult years lying abed with broken bones. Her peers often teased her for getting herself in over her head so many times but the few times her stunts actually worked she paraded her success in their faces. Foolishness and the desire for glory are exactly what led her to become a prisoner of Hai, though that is a story still to be told. |
