Faru

[Faru]

FARU Race: Charoda Gender: Female Age: Twenty-three Birthday: Third, Fall, 491 AV Birthplace: Charbosi Residence: Zeltiva Religion: Eyris and Gnora Who am I? : Faru was born in the volatile and lush world of Charbosi, with the warmth of the waves surrounding her and the bitter cold of its depths existing as a constant reminder of a looming threat. Curious by her very nature, exploration was on the menu almost constantly: an unending and sometimes reckless endeavor that granted her access to both the beautiful, as well as the horrific. She was greedy in her clutches for information, preferring knowledge over contentment and making it clear to the world very early on that she felt as such. It wasn't without its merits, though, her discoveries and the relics she stumbled upon both fascinated and struck awe into the hearts of many. Her urges led her to the shores in no time, and upon washing onto the beaches of Falyndar, her world was shattered into pieces. Accompanied by a variety of companions she had convinced into exploring the land; the small party was slain within days. They had ignored the many warnings passed down by their kin, and a combination of the Myrians, Dhani, and a disturbing encounter brought about by a mysterious set of ponds completely and utterly destroyed their number. The resulting expedition could only be called miraculous in its outcome, as both a mixture of feral instinct and pure will catapulted the Charoda into the depths of the jungle. She ate only the seaweed she had carried for the journey, and drifted towards the coastline once more, desperate in her desire for survival and simply unwilling to be slain before her time. The occasional waters and pools she stumbled upon sustained her requirements as far as hydration went, though she encountered more than one predator lurking in the depths. Ultimately the young Charoda came out of the experience alive, but not unscathed. The experience had changed her in a very intimate way, and she had been responsible for the loss of her kinfolk. Despite this, she hadn't lost her thirst for the unknown, and instead had been possessed by a voracious hunger for more. Rejecting the impracticality of exploring further, her webbed feet carried her all the way to the Suvan Sea's edge, and it was there that she sank back into the waters and lost herself for a period of time. Three years later Faru would emerge once more, changed, and start her trek anew, this time beginning in Syliras. Her time in the waters hadn't been for naught, however, as she had turned calculatory in her psychology, taking the time to quantify and analyze before making her moves across Mizahar. Her movement patterns reflected this as she hired an armed caravan and bought a substantial amount of water to aid her in her journey. Her end destination wound up being Zeltiva, the port city being a miraculous centerfold of knowledge as well as order. Gone was the carefree entity that had washed onto the edges of Falyndar so long ago; in her place was a scarred creature of hunger whose limitations were walls put up by herself, and would be thus destroyed by herself. How am I? : Faru is a creature of the deep, unfathomable on her good days, and downright strange on her bad. Peaceful at heart but aware of the chaos in the world, she seeks to measure and label all things as a desperate response to understand and accept the environment she lives in. She had been innocent at first, aware and containing an open-mind, but arrogant and filled with the hubris of youth. Her adventure across Falyndar left her reeling with shock and wary of all things, a state of mind that would remain unchanged by any. To an extent she is to blame for the deaths of her kin, and her everyday actions are molded by this. Her faith is a strong force in her life, the goddesses Gnora and Eyris having acted as her stepping-stones throughout her journey. In the waters of her youth, such religious figures weren't spoken of, only passed on in rumors and through tales of traveling entities in the deep. But Faru was never one to pass up an opportunity to lay claim to rare knowledge, and as a result found herself falling in love with the two entities representing her innermost desires and core structure. It is important to note, however, that her methods of worship are wholly internal and don't involve external stimuli aside from that which comes naturally to her: e.g. studying, meditation, etc. What am I? : Like most of her race, Faru stands out in a crowd, a being of aquamarine hues and emerald blends. Her skin is smooth and sleek with bulbous dorsal fins protruding and descending from around her head. She stands at a mere five feet and three inches in height: a petite creature of almost sensual and delicate posture. Her eyes reflect her innermost thoughts and ideas, sometimes flickering into darker shades of a navy color reminiscent of the ocean trenches she had become so intimately familiar with. With webbed hands and feet, she can appear lithe and serene in the waters, whereas upon land her movements can seem almost clumsily swift - a trait stemming from the fact that she isn't entirely used to dwelling on the surface world. On the rare occasional that she cracks a smile, her surveyor will usually respond in shock, as the inner-workings of her mouth involve many serrated teeth, the likes of which are used purely for slicing up vegetables without a single shred of mercy. In place of a nose she retains a pair of thin slits, with only the lightest of external bumps signifying the place as noticeable at all.
