Ki-neko animura
Name:
Calchas
Name Meaning:
A seer in Greek
Gender:
Male
Personal Quote:
"There is darkness in the world, but within that darkness are spots of light. Light that stick together to dominate the darkenss."
Personality:
Like the men of the Nights Watch (or at least those who take it seriously) this boy is extremely vigilant and maybe even a little paranoid. Calchas places himself outside of normal Rukami systems and lives a life in no particular territory. In fact he has no territory he calls home but most other Rukami know his name. He is a fierce fighter and is known to be honest and true. Many Rukami allow him in their territory for that reason. When in another's territory he will defend it like his own, protect any young that may be there, any prey that may be stolen, etc. He has a soft spot for young ones and lives to see them grow.
Item Symbolism:
The cloak in which he wears shows his solitude. The dark black fur coming from a large grizzly that he killed to protect a young Rukami pup, a pup who had lost it's father because of the beast. The armour pieces were a gift from a Rukami family that he wintered with while he was younger. They taught him to fight and to survive, pittying the young boy for his loss. They taught him how to craft it and when he told them he was leaving they gave him the pieces to make his own armour. To him the armour is a sign of trust and of peace. To show that the light in the world is still as strong as the dark. On his other shoulder guard is a Rukami head howling, with claws marks behind it painted on the piece. It is his symbol to show who he is.
Story:
I don't remember much of my childhood, Only snips and snaps of pictures will flash through my mind. But I do remember one day, the day that everything turned south for me. I was about 6 months old, playing with my older sister Remki when the sounds of the forest changed. Our ears perked as the two of us froze, in that moment our father came rushing into the clearing, blood streaming from his chest and dripping from his muzzle. He told us to run, and so we did. We ran and ran, until our feet couldn't carry us. But we found the will to continue on, Remki felt something behind us and told me to keep running, I argued but in the end lost. She told me that I must survive, I must do what I can to live on. But she also told me not to hate, that the world was a cruel place but in it there were spots of light. I didn't know what she meant nor did I ever find out what had killed my family but ever since then I have journeyed the world, hidden like sulfur in a mine. I am there yet not and I do not take more than what I need.
I could have earned a territory if I wanted to but as I grew older I started to understand the words that my sister had told me before I ran away, the words that still haunt me and will haunt me till the day I die. I will remain neutral in the world, remain without a territory to call my own. In return I am sheltered from the violence of disputes. I promise to never hurt a Rukami that lives in the territory in which I would currently live, I promise to protect anything that the owner deems precious as if it were my own. Whether it is prey, lands, or my personal favorite family. Any Rukami that holds it's family, above all else earns the respect of me. If they allow me to I love to teach the young ones about the world, teach them tricks that could one day save them or their loved ones, that could have saved mine if I had known them.
I wish I could do art for him, but working nine+ hours a day it is hard to do much more than real life tasks
