Name: Yume
Race: Konti (Required Female)
Age: 27
Height: 5'8”
Weight: 165 lbs.
Character Traits/Personality:
Mental:
Sensitive and Empathic. Most Konti are keen on discerning others feelings, because of their connection to the Goddess Avalis. Yume is extremely sensitive to others feelings, particularly emotional distress and turmoil. She sees past the smiles and the facades, and gets to the core of a person rather quickly. She doesn't do this because she's nosy or intrusive by nature... she can't help it. This hypersensitivity is due to the fact that her 'Sight' is damaged. While she learns how to cope with her... gift... she prefers solitude or the company of 1 or two others... so that she doesn't have to feel too many minds at once. Crowds are problematic for her, and a gathering of more than 30 would start to affect her mental well being, as in she would confuse her own mind with those in the crowd.
Spiritual:
Yume is often unsure of herself, and when it comes to matters of faith she also has her fair share of questions and doubts. But there is one thing she knows, which goes back to her origin story. She's a total amnesiac. She believes it has something to do with her Calling, but is again unsure, as she has no memory of feeling The Call come, as others among her kind have described it coming to them. She honors the Goddess of Divination, Avalis, and acknowledges the God of Dreams, Nysel, as her patron deities, for it is in her dreams when she has some of her most vivid visions... which will hopefully lead her to the reason she is here on Mizahar
Social:
Since her arival on Mura a year ago she has gained a few friends, mostly in the other Konti NPC's at the medical library. When she does form friendships, they go deep and hold fast. She is trusting and thoughtful of those she considers friends... because she knows, or thinks she knows, that they can't hide anything from her. Some Konti control their emotions extremely well, so that there are no layered emotions. What they feel fills their whole being. Yume thinks these Konti do this to try and hide something from her, which is almost never the case. If a person doesn't have layers... Yume doesn't like to trust them. She will gravitate away from these people, in fact.
Physical:
After her awakening she was tested by the doctors and healers to see what faculties she possessed. She is physically... well... Konti, with blue grey eyes the color of a becalmed sea. Her pale skin, soft pink lips, hair the color of cornsilk all add up to an unmistakable beauty and allure. She wears her hair long about her shoulders, with two strands that frame her face and bangs coming to just above her eyes, completely obscuring her forehead. She's more athletic in lifestyle, than most Konti. She enjoys swimming, fishing, and running on the beach in the dark hours of the morning. She derives a great deal of pleasure and energy from watching the sun break over the horizon and bathing the world in its light.
Character History:
My first memory... I remember falling... but not as one falls through air. It was a slow, deliberate sinking. Drowning I was. I'd forgotten that I could breath underwater... but this was not water. It was utter blackness, but it wasn't cold, or warm. I was simply aware of nothing but my own mind in this... this void. Then I became aware of other things... arms, legs, a body. I started to breathe, because I had lungs now, no longer was I a floating void of consciousness... I was a being of flesh and blood. But... where was I? I was still in this black abyss. Then colors began to appear, and light, and warmth, and the sound of the sea crashing against the shore.
The sound of the sea gives me comfort to this day. It was my first memory of Mizahar. I don't know where I truly came from, but the healers say I came through a Gate at what's called “White Tower”. These gates used to connect to each other, spread around the world. Since the God controlling them was basically killed in the great cataclysm they have ceased to function as they did. They now lead to the void, or realms beyond Mizahar. Perhaps I came from one of these other realms...
The healers at the Medical Library in Mura ran countless tests on me. When they found me on the beach, too weak to move, they took me in. Their tests revealed little about my origins, but my Konti body thinks it's about 27 years of age. I feel like any Konti on the island that I've met... but I feel strangely like something else. I have other features that are unmistakably Konti... like... my mark. I bear a seer's lily on my left temple. I have the sight as they do, but it's... damaged. I begin to lose myself if I start feeling too many minds around me.
I've been having these weird thoughts lately... like... none of this is real. That this is all a dream or something... the conjuration of a broken mind. Maybe when my mind's fixed I can return to... wherever it is I came from, or at the very least learn why I'm here, in this form, and not in the form of some of the other humanoid creatures I've seen. I have so many questions about myself. I need this, I guess, this journey of self discovery.
Skills (50):
The idea behind the skill set I'm going for is an empathic healer who uses leaching to transfer wounds to her own body, then flux to heal herself. She also has been given basic training in martial technique, using flux to smash face, but only when she absolutely has to. Her study of Glyphing augments her Flux abilities, allowing her to quickly produce effects through the use of tattoos. Her current occupation is a fisherman and pearl diver.

Lores:
Learning at the hands of those who administered to Yume during her time in the Medical Library, she proved to be a quick study. In order to heal, one needs to know how bodies work. In that spirit, she has gained the following lore over the past year since she arrived in Mura.

House:
The Konti were extremely generous and helped Yume procure a cottage on the beach near Mura's Docks. The house is made of a giant seashell, hollowed out on the inside, its spire pointing up into the sky. A door made of driftwood with a simple lock and hinges keeps wanderers out, but not necessarily thieves. Konti aren't known for thieving, however, and countermeasures against such are not a high priority. Inside, a round table made of the same pale driftwood sits in the middle of the room. The table is flanked by two wicker chairs. A simple bed sits off to the north side.
The hearth occupies the east of the shell house, with the door in the center of the shell on the south side. Fishing nets act as drapes over windows with driftwood shutters. All in all, it's fairly cozy.
