Character Concept

Kaiphur is full of contrasts. Whilst trying desperately to be warm and at ease, he usually comes off as slightly reserved or shy. He is currently painfully concerned with how others perceive him- now that he is trying to live as the person he wants to be, he is conscious of anything that could betray his secret. Despite being relieved that he is now free to be who he is, he still lives in a state of fear and anxiety as he tries not to be “discovered”. He needs to remain unlinked to any events in his past and who was forced to be.
Kaiphur hides his insecurity by trying to be inconspicuous. He thrives on his wits and ability to cover his tracks, but when alone he struggles to keep himself together and deal with his emotions. Naturally self critical, he wants to forge meaningful relationships without judgement or mockery. However, he is terrified of rejection and it can take a while for him to fully trust others. When he lets his guard down, he is a loyal and fierce friend- but he takes betrayal very seriously and is easily hurt. Finding people to trust will be difficult whilst he still feels the need to be alone to control his emotions.
Vulnerable but trying to get stronger, Kaiphur tries to cover up his fragility with an outward show of resolve and seriousness, but if this thin outer layer is shattered it is easy to reveal the fragmented individual that lies beneath. Right now he is confused about his orientation, so he has turned away from romance for the time being.
He is very uncomfortable with discussions about nudity or sex, and he always tries to divert conversation away from himself. As well as self discovery, Kaiphur takes a keen interest in education and is willing to learn anything he can to keep himself busy.


Character History

Kaiphur keeps his past to himself. Born Caitlin Nivena Cuthbertson, he was his father’s only daughter. His father saw Kaiphur key to the success of his family- a once wealthy and successful people, who lost it all through gambling and dodgy deals.
He had a peaceful youth where his identity was never really an issue. It was only when the children began to group up into boys and girls and started dressing in a certain way that things became complicated. Spying an opportunity away from the rural area, Kaiphur’s father moved them to a large house within Syliras owned by a wealthy adventurer, and took up a job as his assistant. There, Kaiphur was tutored and taught the importance of being “ladylike”. Presented with fine silks, jewellery and grouped up with noble young women, he began to feel uneasy and had a growing sense that something was wrong. Privately, he shrugged off his fancy clothes and teased hair and dressed in baggy, unfeminine cloth and read his books- able to banish his worries temporarily through study.
Kaiphur’s father began to notice a problem when his daughter deviated from the regular duties expected and started to dress more masculine, spending a lot of time alone and outside. When this behaviour and appearance started to attract attention, Kaiphur was sent away to be tutored with a group of young women.
Upset, suppressed and utterly isolated, Kaiphur began to resent his situation and tried to alleviate his confusion by conforming to the expectations of his tutors. He focused on languages that were far removed and distant from his own- Old Common brought him back to ancient times, and it interested him to see the roots of the words that he now spoke. He then took to learning Pavi - it was constructed quite differently to the languages he was used to. Learning instruments, different languages and elocution was effortless, but trying to fit in with the young women around him was not. He began a relationship with one of the girls- Laithe- and confessed to his true feelings: that he identified as male. He became comfortable conversing with Laithe and was overheard. Kaiphur was ejected from formal tutoring and his father was informed.
His father collected him and learned of the truth- furious, he tried to keep Kaiphur sedated, ladylike and eligible for marriage with the landlord’s son. When Kaiphur learned of this plan, he panicked and was locked away for several weeks, visited by a tutor every so often. He grew even more withdrawn, depressed and refused to talk for days. Eventually, numb, he resigned himself to his fate and shut himself down- prepared to live as Caitlin and reject who he was. On the day of his wedding, he came to his senses and in a fit of emotion and pain, cut off his long red hair. Beaten and injured by his father, he grabbed what he could and took off- vowing to live as the person he always knew he was.

Current Situation

Kaiphur was captured by a slaver and navigated across the Sea Of Grass. He has now ended up in the city of Endrykas. Falling into the hands of the Drykas Aran Windblown (http://www.mizahar.com/forums/topic42968.html), he now finds himself trapped again. Refusing to be completely subordinant, he is trying to maintain his sense of identity whilst his master considers his gender identity problems simply a method to avoid the fact that Aran wants a child - and is willing to use Kaiphur as a means to this goal.
