Character Profile

[Cazuth]

Cazuth Yän Long

Full Name: Av Cazuth wov anou Yän Long (A Blade from Long's Stream); Cazuth Yän Long for short.
Race: Igelak
DoB: Ymiden 28th 722
Languages: Common: Fluent; Xanthean: Broken, Gernevoir: Broken (1 Language Points per Ymiden 724).

Appearance: Cazuth has deep red skin that glistens with a slight glow. There are marks of white across his body at points, but for the most part he is entirely red of coloration with black and brown eyes. He stands at around 6'1" and is lithe and muscular of build. He often wears the trappings of a travelling warrior pilgrim, under-armor garments beneath boiled leather armor plates and cuirass.

History: Cazuth was discovered, abandoned by a riverside near the forests of Desnind, by a monk in the House of Rivers, none other than Master Lee, the head of the Temple. Desperate to survive, Cazuth instinctively clung to him and wouldn't let go. Master Lee was surprised and amused by the youngling's tenacity, and decided to bring him back to the House of Rivers in Desnind. Not knowing what it was, other than a young creature in need of protection and shelter, Master Lee brought it up as a pet at first, but then realized it had a higher intelligence, and decided to treat it as a child, he its surrogate father. This was in Saun of 722. He learned quickly while observing the daily life of their clung-to surrogate. Much of the warrior's art was shown to the impressionable Igelak child, until he eventually grew large enough to stop clinging and his learning rate slowed.

Even so, by the time he grew to full measure, he was competent with a blade and general battle tactics, taught personally by Master Lee. And not a bad physical specimen either, fit and ready for a life of exercise and the practice of their revered martial art of Da'riya. Before he left the House of Rivers, called by the spiritual restlessness of his kind to find a greater purpose or power, Master Lee gifted him a Riversteel Wood, katana, Skepek-Gyärä, which Cazuth carries to this day.

He left the House of Rivers, taking up the life of a wandering pilgrim, since he felt something missing in his life, a greater power that he'd yet to reckon with. Little did he know the ways of his kind, and their instinctive reverence for higher beings. But it seemed to have taken hold in the young Cazuth, as he took to wandering the world in search of someone or something to believe in.

Metaphysics

Cantrip: Water Walk Approved here.

As long as Cazuth doesn't exceed a pace of walking higher than 3 kilometers per hour, he can stand or walk along the surface of any body of fluid such as water. However should he pick up speed, he will sink into the water, same as anyone. He cannot walk indefinitely upon the water, but at most for a break or so, or as long as he can maintain concentration. Whether he can fight or work while walking on water is mostly a function of his meditation skill and ability to focus. He must concentrate in order to channel this cantrip.

Name: Shaito
DoB: 611 Zi'da 23rd
Date of Death: 628 Saun 22nd
Race: Ghost - Wisp (Biqaj)
Gender: Male
Organization (if any): House of Rivers

Appearance: Black hair, color-changing eyes. Often wears a martial artist's gi in spectral form when manifesting.

Personality: Shaito is not a temperamental ghost, by ghostly standards. Having been calm headed and sardonic in life, he takes that to an extreme as a ghost that has lingered within the wooden katana and rattan hat that was his. While he accepts the Igelak Cazuth as the bearer of his anchors, he will often test the young creature in the manner of 'lessons', testing his temperament. He does care for the Igelak , as a member of the House of Rivers, he's the ghost's chance to pass on its knowledge that he never had the chance to achieve in life.

Bio: Shaito was a rival of Master Long in their youth. As acrimonious as their training in Desnind had been, Shaito and Long had trained together, each vying to one-up the other. Eventually they had a more serious falling out, and challenged each other to a duel. There, Long defeated Shaito, but the defeat resulted in a fatal accident by Long's sword, killing Shaito. Since then, Shaito has lingered in spirit in the katana he used to use in sparring matches with Long, which Long has kept to this day.

Relationship: Cazuth will feel compelled to honor the ghost, as per his race's reverence for otherworldly beings. Not quite to the point of worship, and somewhat wary of the ghost's antics, Cazuth will nevertheless respect the ghost's superior experience as he travels, allowing Shaito to see parts of the world he'd never experienced.

Anchors:

A Riversteel Wood Katana, Skepek-Gyärä once belonging to Master Long, bequeathed to Cazuth.

A rattan hat that has the lists of each of Long's vanquished enemies written upon it, so that Cazuth can know and track them down.

Wisp Purpose: To teach and mentor Cazuth, steering him toward wisdom over bloodthirst in his warrior's journey. He also is tasked with ensuring that Cazuth visits the resting place of each of Master Long's enemies that he vanquished, and shedding blood over them to put them to rest.
