cheers for spring; for life; for a growing soul
Welcome to The Calling’s character creation section! Instead of a traditional cs I’ve decided to do things a little differently this time around. Of course, if you want to create an entire sheet that’s fine as well! The main details that are required are name (or alias), age, gender, appearance (irl face claims or written description only), abilities/drawbacks, divine relative, and vision.


This is a roleplay centered around various deities from different pantheons so I’m trying to give those that apply as much creative freedom as I can, while still seeing who fits within the roleplay best. Please do your research when it comes to cultures you aren’t familiar with and be mindful of overpowered characters.

lovelie auguatine
basics.

“she herself is a haunted house. She does not possess herself; her ancestors sometimes come and peer out of the windows of her eyes and that is very frightening.”

full name. lovelie marie augustine
nicknames. love or lovie
age. 23 years old
gender. cis-female
sexuality. pansexual
place of birth. jamcel, haiti
ethnicity. haitian
visage.
she had not been molded with experienced hands like clay, yet her rough edges were smooth all the same. she has been told, by those who have gazed upon her beauty, that she is proof that only fools associate evil with the dark. she is all deep brown skin, deep like the most fertile of soils or the cosmos that others reach for with longing in their eyes. glitter twinkles on her skin like stars in the night skin, urging those to take a closer look and make a wish should they feel deserving.

had the creator purposely shaped her features in a unique manner? a face that some deem hard to look at yet they find themselves entranced all the same. there is something vaguely unnerving…otherworldly hidden in her features but soft enough to fool the eyes. those eyes of her, the deepest of blues, hide their true emotions behind fluttering lashes. it is hard to see the hunger that lurks within. their watery depths camouflage the intentions that she wants no other to see. they say so much yet so little. her face, both hard marble and soft clay.

she grew as though she had been attempting to reach the above. her body grew into itself softly, delicate in a way to not disturb the world around her. her body of gentle curves, pleasant to the eye and invoking a feeling of protectiveness. she is avian like in her grace, her movements fluid and almost floating when she arrives. she has been compared to a bird, something of fragile bones and sweet songs. yet they forget of the birds of prey, with talons ready and eyes poised for an attack.

persona.

a serrated knife smile adorned in blood-soaked gemstones and beckoning eyes. full lips part to speak honey-dipped words into the ears of flies. they flow like water, her stream of half-truths and riddles becoming more akin to troubled waters. she laughs as she watches the brave and the foolish wade through the depths, so caught up in discovering more that they fail to realize how far they’ve sunken. lovelie enjoys this game of catch and release, push and pull. lovelie has always been meticulous when it comes to how she words things. she speaks in a way that leaves others frustrated and unsure of her intentions.

there is something about the look in her eyes that sets people on edge. her gaze speaks of hidden information, as though she knows something that she shouldn’t. it would be hard to believe that one such as herself is as knowledgeable and spiritual as she is. she is devoted to the ways of her culture. within the whispering woods, when night falls and with the moon as her witness, she dances and sings and raves to honor those who came before her and watch her over even now. lovelie is a master of her craft. years have been spent learning and it shows in the power that she wields.

she is a raging fire. a flame that draws the moth forward, the wild fire that consumes the forest and leaves behind ash and devastation. lovelie welcomes chaos with a razor grin and wild look in her eyes. what is life without spontaneity? without change that forces the world to adapt? resilience has turned her spine to steel and skin to armor. she is no flower, a dainty thing easily crushed under foot or bent by the pressure of the wind. a mighty oak is what she is, standing tall and rooted against the things that try to knock her down.

a woman of passion hides amongst the mass of students. lovelie was made to make the world tremble, to take fate in her hands and bend it to her will. mad in the eyes of many, a being who takes after her mother far too much. lovelie is the cackle at a funeral, a string of curses, and a product of the strength of her ancestors stolen and unwilling to submit.

likes. bonfires, custom grillz, horror media, strawberry lollipops, tarantulas, creating new spells, offerings, spider lilies
dislikes. waiting for too long, being still for too long, the boring and dull, sour things, overtly sweet treats

hobbies. taxidermy, collecting skulls, intricate nail art, foraging for ingredients, selling magical favors, dancing, tire machèt
skills. lovelie know multilingual, she speaks haitian kreyol, french, and spanish. is very acrobatic and an amazing dancer. an amazing cook. knows how to brew various poisons.
quirks. is very superstitious and does things like sweeping with salt and throwing it over her shoulder. plays with her hair when bored. always has some type of strawberry candy on her. like scaring people by sneaking up on them. curses in kreyol when upset. loves puns.
file.
status. demigoddess; daughter of marinette-bwa-chechn, petro loa of violence, power, and magic
grade. senior
dorm. magicae
reputation.
lovelie is both a pariah and a infamous figure on campus. whispers of madness follow after her. they believe her to be evil just as her mother is. with her human skin tome in her hands and her razor smile, she sends shivers down the spine of those caught in her sights. at the same time she is a beacon, a mesmerizing figure who seems to belong belong amongst figures in the throes of religious ecstasy. she approached with caution and sometimes reverence. lay an offering at her feet and in turn receive a magical favor.

vision. lovelie remembers the first time she was ridden. she had been dancing around the flame on sacred land when a voice suddenly called to her. it did not take long to realize that she was tied at the stake. the wood beneath her feet smelled of oil and the crowd before her screamed their hate. a figure at the back of the crowd locked eyes with her, creeping closer until lovelie could see a slender frame and wild eyes. the figure spoke of her path and the challenges that lay ahead before disappearing as the match was struck and the flames consumed her. lovelie’s screams and howls of agony turned to laughter. she woke up then, realizing that she had laid within the fire she had been dancing around. slowly she stood and tossed her head back to scream with laughter. she had been born anew.

powers. marinette’s blessing - marinette was slayed by fire and so she now holds sway over it as a petro loa. like her mother lovelie is also able to control the destructive force. she is able to generate flames at will and create explosions via firing up oxygen near things that are flammable.

owl physiology - lovelie has the ability to take on attributes of her mother sacred animal, the screech owl. with this ability she has natural talons that can slash through flesh like a hot knife through butter. her senses are superhuman in nature. lovelie can see perfectly in the dark and rotate her head 360 degrees. though she has no beak she does have razor sharp teeth and a hollow skeleton, making her faster, lighter, and more agile.

the gift - voodoo is a way of life and the air that she breathes. her mother is a powerful being who deals in left hand magic. she wields the same ability. lovelie is a skilled voodoo priestess with generations of knowledge and power at her fingertips. she is a woman who specializes in the dark and deadly arts, the type of practice often stolen and made “clean”.

drawbacks.
marinette’s blessing - fire is an unpredictable thing. lovelie flames can be destructive when used. if she’s not careful the flames can spread quite easily, causing unnecessary damage to others and the environment.

owl physiology - her superhuman senses are not something that she can turn off. lovelie can get easily overwhelmed and stunned by intense noises. attacks to her senses leave her vulnerable, as it leaves her open to attacks as she tries to gather her wits.

the gift - voodoo is a way of life, a powerful gift that one must wield with respect. it different from many forms of magic, as it does not always provide results right then and there. lovelie must be careful when dealing with the left-handed path, for it has the potential to bounce back.

strengths.

weaknesses.

gift(s).
the deadman - lovelie was gifted a machete that was blessed to forever remain sharp. the blade also secretes a substance that sends opponents into a zombie-like state if cut around six times.

lovelie’s doll - from first glance the effigy seems to be a plain wax figure in the shape of a human. it is far more than that however. should lovelie attach something personal to the doll (such as a lock of hair or piece of fabric worm) she can control the person or creature that the item belongs to. the wax never melts and takes on the shape of the being it’s attached to.

ikenna okafor
basics.

“lies is what he shall whisper, sins and jealousies others commit. he shall addle your mind, until all you are is bloodlust.”

full name. ikenna arinze okafor
nicknames. none. refer to him by his full name or don’t refer to him at all.
age. 20 years old
gender. cis-male
sexuality. pansexual
place of birth. imo state, nigeria
ethnicity. igbo
visage.

when he was only a boy his mother whispered into his ear, the story of how he came to be. how the earth had blessed her with a child when she was thought to be unable to carry any. his small chest would puff out with pride then. their pinkies interlocked in as a promise to never reveal the secret of how he came to be.

it would be easy to see how ikenna holds all the likeness of the earth. would it be such a hard thing to believe, if the story his mother told him were true? that his skin had been made from the richest of soils, made into clay to stretch over bone and muscle. and that the creator, feeling generous, granted it the ability to change color? his skin, a mix of the deepest browns and the darkest blues. oh, how it shines with the oil that’s used to nourish it. such work could only be crafted by experienced hands, a statue made flesh and given life. a body made up of carved muscle and strength. he stands tall and sturdy, not easily moved like an ancient tree. the scars on his skin litter his flesh like the groves of a tree as well.

black eyes sit atop faces of sharp angles, directly above a wide nose and two full lips. it wouldn’t be too far-fetched to say that they could have been made from onyx. the stones pulled straight from the earth and polished until they resembled a starless sky, pitch black and vast. those eyes of his are deep, intense in the way they hold contact with others, daring them to look away or get lost in them. his eyes are sly things, hiding what’s inside from view. the sparkle in his eye can be deceiving, it’s wise to not fall for them.

he walks as though he has no care in the world, as though he is unshakable. with his head held high and posture straight, his swagger speaks for itself. there is something about the way he carries himself that leaves others shrinking before him. they must see the force of nature that he is, the wildness in his eyes and the darkness behind his white toothed grin.
realistic fc : omar sessay
persona.
it is often said that legacies hold little likeness to their divine relative. oh the lies told to dismiss the blood that runs through their veins. ikenna is every bit of his grandfather. the devil ekenswu, who is said to bring forth savagery and war and change. the malice within him squirms and wriths just below the surfac, holding all the likeness of dormat bombs from wars forgotten. he is a man known for his acts of violence, with fist that swing and land like rocks. there was nothing subtle about the wild look in his eyes as he picked fights. even now he revels in the way that he is able to push others, pick at them until they explode and raise weapons or fists. to him, there is nothing as beautiful blood bumping, hearts racing as two beings rush each other with promises of hurt in their eyes. they call him a brute and he only smiles back in return, throwing his head back as his laugh bounces off the walls.

it is true that ikenna is a man prone to violence. there is no secret that wrath runs through his veins just as blood does. his mouth can cause harm just as his hands do, spitting equal parts venom and blood from his mouth. there is a slyness to him, a calculating glint that he hides behind the persona of a brainless beast. people tend to speak with loose lips around those that they believe they’re better than and he is always there to listen, to watch his shrewd eyes. he has a way of gathering information, a seemingly endless network of resources that he shamelessly uses to his advantage.

ikenna is all careful manipulation. he sinks sharp claws into any weaknesses that he sees, ruthlessly opens up cracks in armor. a skilled actor he is, letting people believe that they hold the upper hand, that they have him cornered. he licks fangs when the rug is pulled out from under them and they realize that they have played right into his hands. it is a goal of his to never let others know what he’s really thinking. those around him assume that they know him down to his core yet it’s only the parts of him that he wants them to see. there is no softness to a man such as he, though he will gladly pretend for his own personal gain.

likes. missions, gossip, open markets, family gatherings, dishes from his home, winning, children, large dogs
dislikes. being outdone/shown-up, most arrogant demigods, peace-makers, being nagged, humiliation, losing
hobbies. creating dishes in cooking club, picking fights & general mischief, training, meditating/napping under the sakura trees
skills. knows how to keep cool under pressure. knows how to play the acoustic guitar and can carry a tune pretty well. known for talking his way outta trouble and turning situations around for himself.
quirks. rarely sits correctly in his seat, it’s a wonder that he doesn’t have back problems. often paces when he’s upset. touches his pendant when in need of comfort.
fears. he fears that be may disappoint his grandfather, that he may not live up to his standards. the thought of truly being inferior to demigods also terrifies him. losing his abilities and blindness are also fears of his.
file.
status. legacy, grandson of ekwensu, trickster alusi of war and bargains.
grade. sophomore
dorm. legatum
reputation. ikenna is a student that many teachers shake their heads at. he’s prone to skipping class, except those dealing with physical feats, and causing trouble around campus. big, bad, and people tend to stay out of his way less they want his attention on them. ikenna is known for having the latest gossip on campus as well.
vision. he remembers being involved in an all out brawl in an alley one day, though he doesn’t remember why it had started, all that mattered was the sound of fighting surrounding him. it was at the end, when his enemies lay laid out at his feet that the world changed. suddenly he was surrounded by the ending of a war, bodies were scattered among the dirt, all wearing various types of armor. and upon looking down, ikenna realized that he too was dressed as a mighty igbo warrior. his grandfather came to him, standing tall and proud as he spoke of his destiny.

powers. enhanced condition: with the blood of ekwensu running through his veins, ikenna more durable than the average human. though he his only a legacy his strength is at a herculean level.

enhanced combat: as the grandson of a war god, fighting comes naturally to him. ikenna is able to adapt to using different weapons and fighting styles with ease. a single touch or a few watches is all it takes. as a prince he was taught a variety of fighting styles to protect himself.

anger manipulation: ikenna can subtly arouse feelings of impulsive anger, hatred, and bloodlust in people, to the point of instigating physical violence. he also feeds off of negative emotions, they act as fuel to make him stronger.

drawbacks. legacy: as mighty as he is Ikenna is still only a legacy. he doesn’t have any strong powers such as fire manipulation or even super speed like demigods. and while he condition is enhanced he is still able to be hurt easier than many of them.

strengths. combat: as a prince Ikenna was taught to defend himself by a skilled teacher. he has also learned all sorts of fighting styles throughout his years at the academy. as soon as he learn that there were those who had stronger and more magical abilities than him, he set out to study and learn as much as he could.

strategizing: ikenna knows how to carefully plan attacks to take out opponents. he can do this is the midst of a fight, carefully reading them to figure out their next move or when actively working against a group. his battle plans are usually well thought out and detailed.

manipulation: has a way of getting under people’s skin. he is a master liar with the ability to fake emotions better than award winning actors. with a few careful words ikenna can have people shaking in anger, cowering from a blow to their weak point, or eating out of the palm of his hands.

weaknesses. ego: ikenna has a insatiable need to prove himself, to prove that he is worthy of being at the school and of his might. his ego can blind him at times and cause him to act rashly. there are only so man injuries that can be healed before it gets him into serious trouble.

gift(s). spiked mace: a large spiked mace forged by ekwensu himself. the weapon is blessed so that it may never break and that those who dare touch it, besides ikenna, should drop by the sheer weight of it.

coral bead ring: though simple in design the ring is much more than its appearance makes it out to be. the ring has the ability to bind people when ikenna makes deals with them. should the person not hold up to their end, they suffer through bad luck that starts off small before eventually increasing in severity. a red ring around the ring finger is a sign of this.

family heirloom: though it is was not given to him by his grandfather, the necklace that he wears was passed down from generation from generation, legacy to legacy. it is a reminder of how far they’ve come and their prowess in the face of adversity.


history.

ikenna hails from imo state, nigeria. within his home state ikenna grew up in a multi-compound home, a palace as he is the grandson of a king on his mother’s side. throughout his life he shamelessly used his position to his advantage, getting out of trouble with ease thanks to his title. negative marks rarely stuck to him and despite how many scoldings he received, ikenna continued with his mischief and mayhem.

from a young age ikenna grew up learning the traditional religion of his people, worshiping the alusi and living in their honor. it was one of the few things that he took seriously. he recalls many fond times where he would sit down with the others, surrounded by other children within the palace as they learned of their history and how their people came to be. his eyes were wide and bright as he listened and hung onto every word coming from the teacher’s mouth.

life for him was one without worry. ikenna wanted for nothing throughout his life. he was held in high regard for as long as he could remember. so when he learned of his true heritage there was no surprise. ikenna knew that he was destined for a life of greatness. when faced with the challenge of fighting a monster he stepped up to the plate without hesitation in order to protect those he loved.

distinguishing features.
several scars on his left palm from cutting it open, as well as some chemical burns from experiments gone wrong
overview.
despite being on the older side and well-disciplined when the time truly calls for it, kiaan never quite learned how to behave like a proper young man. blunt and nonchalant, he often found himself under the scrutiny of his professors (and occasionally the law) despite doing well in his studies. that's not to say he's an outcast— in fact, he's quite the opposite. popular amongst his peers, kiaan is known for being rather easy to joke around with and readily open to conversation, even to strangers or rivals if approached correctly. he doesn't hold grudges per se— rather, he lives by the motto "forgive but never forget", and that level-headedness has gotten him out of far too many sticky situations.

on the other hand, he'd rather jump into a shark pit than have a lengthy heart-to-heart with any of his friends beyond a few cryptic words of advice, making close relationships few and far in between. eloquent in all other matters, the man just can't put his own feelings into words, not for a lack of trying but rather an inability to express himself coherently without cringing out of existence. a do-er more than a talker, as he so rationally likes to put it...
"The name Nirṛti can be interpreted as meaning "devoid of ṛta'i", a state of disorder or chaos. This term was used in Vedic texts to indicate a realm of non-existence and absolute darkness, which threatened to consume those who failed in their duties to sacrifice and procreate. In nirṛti, there was no light, no food, and no children: none of the necessary elements of Vedic life and ritual."
hobbies.
sleeping, studying english, studying toxicology, staying up at night, exploring, honing his abilities, cooking, painting, growing psychadelics (shh), playing with chemicals/toxins, thrill-seeking, nights out, horror movies, socializing, breaking into abandoned places

skills.
cooking, multilingual (hindi, urdu, malvi, english, kannada, and persian), painting, botany, toxicology, construction, negotiating, swordplay

fears.
small angry dogs, commitment, talking about his feelings

aversions.
clingy partners, mathematics, religious institutions, law enforcement, most other men

ailments.
minor depression/anxiety, but treated with medication. he also has a strong aversion to sunflowers

attire.
across all eras and occasions, the descendants of nirriti have opted to hide their faces, each for their own reasons but mainly for the sake of not displaying their expressions of pain as they dole it out as divine punishment. kiaan is simply the latest of the four, donning similar garments as his predecessors but more modern in style.
  • combat:
    his battle gear is a lightweight suit created from slices of obsidian embedded into the plates of his armor, the stone that serves as the symbol of nirriti's descendants and the medium of his abilities.
  • formal:
    his ceremonial garb is reserved for formal occasions, such as graduations or showcases of his power where he must face the whole student body. it is due to this armored, scarlet velvet gown and expressionless silver mask that many students have misconceptions about kiaan, particularly of the sort that he is intimidating, creepy, or volatile. his reputation does not bother him— so long as it doesn't get in the way of his research.
  • rogue:
    his reconnaissance gear consists of much lighter material, mainly for the purpose of carrying out covert operations or researching out in the wilderness. he still opts to wear a mask, but it is barely visible under his looming hood regardless.

abilities.
aside from utility applications of gifts such as simply snuffing out the light within a limited space or picking up on the scent of poison without needing to touch the substance, kiaan wields enchanted equipment and specialized attacks in combat.
grim darkness
power
kiaan can manipulate darkness of a detrimental nature; that which can damage, destroy, and consume, representing the hazardous destructive side of darkness/shadow. in practice, kiaan can use this to inflict pain, sorrow, loss, despair, loneliness, or sensory deprivation on anyone he fully shrouds in a veil of absolute darkness.
poisonous blood
power
kiaan has a unique, malevolent type of poison in his blood, turning it a deep black color, which he can use against an opponent or when threatened. in emergencies, he can release his poisonous blood via physically cutting himself (hence the deep scars on his left palm). if someone were to touch him via skin contact or ingest his blood, they would severely damage their internal organs or infect their skin to the point of deterioration.
despair negation
power
as an ally, Kiaan can absorb the grim darkness within one's psyche (such as pain, sorrow, loss, despair, loneliness, etc.), and replace it with darkness of a pure kind, leaving the target with only their residual neutral and positive emotions amplified by the healing and flourishing nature of the pure darkness, not unlike waking from a deeply refreshing nap.
kalakuta
weapon
meaning "deadly poison"; an ornate scimitar doused in the blood of a tortured innocent. nirriti bestowed this upon him when he turned 18, a sword similar to her own, which carried the ability to awash its victims with a wave of sorrow, loneliness and despair. it exhibits a shadow-y aura during use and is hellishly hot to the touch of anyone except its owner.
upamarayati
artifact
meaning "to dip or plunge into water"; with the root "mar" meaning "to die", the original meaning is "to drown". a handcrafted steel mask that nirriti bestowed upon him when he first learned the side effects of using his despair negation ability on a woman with severe depression. when worn during sleep, the mask soaks up the wearer's grim darkness and grants a peaceful night's rest. this aspect was added before nirriti bestowed it on kiaan, in order to make it an asset rather than a cursed item, for when worn while awake, the grim darkness re-enters the wearer and inflicts incomparable suffering upon the mind. kiaan uses the upamarayati as an eye mask in the dorms to ensure peace of mind while resting.
yogamaya
artifact
meaning "divine illusory power"; an obsidian crown that once belonged to a medieval general that nirriti, a war strategist goddess, once favored. the makeshift crown is imbued with the energy of his ambition and will to conquer his enemies, and donning the crown may grant the wearer insight into whatever task they are finding difficult to navigate. kiaan has had few uses for the crown given his innate problem-solving aptitude, but it has proven useful during preparation for school-sanctioned duels against opponents he is not confident he can defeat with strength alone.
nadesodaru
gift
meaning "the torch" (not literally, as he can see through darkness); a set including a black obsidian pendant and (now lost) ring crafted by nirriti from a stone resting in the pure darkness of the ocean she was born in. touching the obsidian can bring the wearer a feeling of warmth, comfort, and protection during distressing moments. given how sharp it is, the stone was known by the aztecs as able to "pierce into darkness to reveal the truth itself." kiaan doesn't know about all that, but he wears the pendant around his neck at all times nonetheless.
grim darkness
curse
due to the volatile nature of grim darkness, kiaan experiences a portion of the emotional distress he inflicts on each target, wearing away at his own ability to remain focused and in control. causing irreversible harm to himself or his environment by accident is a danger he must constantly be wary of. on top of this, the mechanics of this power (distance, mass, precision, etc.) rely on his own skills, strength, knowledge, and energy limitations. if his strength is depleted or he hasn't practiced enough, the darkness can be a greater harm to himself than anyone.
poisonous blood
curse
when Kiaan is injured mid-battle and has any open wounds, his blood can prove fatally dangerous to allies or anyone attempting first aid on him. he also cannot harm his opponents via this method without physically touching them. furthermore, ki's blood does not regenerate at an accelerated rate for a demigod, and he must be extremely careful with the amount of blood he loses.
despair negation
curse
whatever grim darkness kiaan depletes, he absorbs into himself. whatever pure darkness he inflicts, he loses from himself. he briefly experiences a portion of it both ways. for this reason, he never uses this ability on clinical mental illness (a lesson he only had to learn once). he also can only use this mental healing so long as his mind is in top shape, as it cannot exist without enough pure darkness to replace the grim darkness.
"In later Hindu texts, Nirṛti was re-conceptualized as a deity. According to some texts, she is the wife of Adharma that signifies an important component of nature for the human-beings who dwell in forests, and the mother of three Rakshasas— Mrityu (death), Bhaya (fear) and Mahabhaya (terror)— who were collectively referred to as Nairrita. Other texts portray her as the daughter of Adharma and Himsa (violence, the opposite of Ahimsa)."

family.
two younger sisters, unrelated by blood; two parents who are no longer in the picture nor welcome to ever return.

vision origin.
kiaan had his vision while working for a young widow who wanted her house painted. he maintained several odd jobs while attempting to support his siblings, and this was one of the few that didn't leave him dry-heaving by the end of the day. after he took several large cardboard sheets to the recycling bin in the alley around the back, kiaan re-emerged pale as a ghost and unable to do anything but run home to his sleeping siblings, who had no idea why he was about to leave them. not wanting them to starve, he rummaged around and slipped all the cash that he'd saved along with a brief note underneath their pillows before disappearing from their lives.

history.
abandoned a few months after being adopted by his parents when they fled india to escape debt collectors, kiaan met his two “siblings” in foster care in madhya pradesh at the age of 13. for the majority of his childhood, he learned as much as he could pack into his brain from the abandoned textbooks in the supervisors' offices and ditched that ratty hellhole as soon as he felt capable of working at the age of 15. from that point on, kiaan assumed the nickname "zahar" and picked up odd jobs to take care of his sisters as best as he could, providing shelter in an abandoned building while fighting off other street rats who tried to harm them. he was no easy target, and he made that much known to the scum that ever tried him.

after he had his vision, kiaan felt incredibly burdened by the responsibility he’d be leaving behind. his sisters were still children, and he’d be worried sick if he left them unattended. instead, he attempted to pay rather large sums of cash to some trusted shopkeepers nearby to keep an eye on them, all of whom rejected the money but promised to make sure they didn’t die. that was enough for ki, who had no choice but to leave his life behind for an uncertain future.

once he arrived at the university, kiaan itched to prove himself as more than the child of sorrow, darkness, and venom. the kids around him had all been gifted with incredible strength and combative abilities, which he'd never even dreamed of being capable of. despite his disadvantage in this aspect, he trained his physical skills with intense regimens for the first two years, focusing more on matching up to his peers than playing up to his own strengths. between this negligence and his tendency to ditch the university for extended periods of time to discreetly send his sisters money, kiaan ended up having to repeat a year of his studies. in this manner, the man has spent longer than most at the university and holds no pride in that fact.

at the age of 21, however, ki realized that being the child of such a cursed goddess did not mean he had to be brooding and intimidating. nirriti was born of venom and the mother of hell, known for inflicting some of the worst demises upon mankind, but she is also a master strategist and guardian against the worst evils on the planet. his strength lied in his ability to apply his empathy of the darkest emotions to combat, and this self-acceptance resulted in him excelling at everything related to history, psychology, chemistry—nearly every subject he could apply his dark abilities to. now, as a 23-year-old senior, kiaan looks forward to his graduation with bright eyes and a far more mature mindset.

past descendants.
over the years, nirriti has created four descendants with her cursed powers, each during a different era of hindustan. all of the previous descendants have passed on in isolation, leaving behind no legacies of nirriti's power.
  • 1st (avanti):
    a demon king of the ancient indian avanti kingdom who mercilessly slaughtered all who obstructed his vision of affluence, andhaka was born blind. he was the first to wield kalakuta, and it quickly became his means of perceiving the world. his deep insecurity and thirst for power are one of the reasons the blade carries so much infernal darkness within. he was eventually defeated in a 3-day battle against a titan, who in turn consumed his poisonous blood and perished soon after.
  • 2nd (delhi sultanate):
    excommunicated from his hometown after the muslim leadership dubbed him a practitioner of black magic upon exposing his abilities, sanu roamed from one mountain abode to the next during the age of the delhi sultanate. this status, however, granted him the freedom of vigilante justice out on the fringes of society where the law did not reach, and he became known as a purveyor of karma to the himalayan tribes. to this day, the places where his blood spilled do not grow vegetation. he spent the last years of his life in the remote countryside, tending to his gardens and finding peace in the stillness of his world.
  • 3rd (partition):
    haniya was just entering adulthood when india and pakistan were forced into partition, a bloody mess of a war that displaced and destroyed more than it preserved. as a kashmiri local, her own husband was slaughtered on the trains by extremists looting the cargo, murdering the men and abducting the women. haniya became a walking fireball of rage and despair, an unsuspecting assassin who vowed to punish the rats in power responsible for her suffering. she ended her own life via carbon monoxide poisoning at the young age of 24.
shalini chandra (20)
a senior research fellow who offered kiaan access to an abandoned lab at her alma mater to develop an antivenin to his toxic blood and a promising intellectual with a heart of gold and nerves of steel who'd been willing to take up the challenge. she was also one of his closest friends at the orphanage and one of the few people in the lab who knew his true identity as the child of nirriti. as such, shalini remains one of his most trusted partners, a pillar of his research progression and a shining beacon in his life that he swore to protect at all costs.
avinash tak (27)
another friend from the orphanage who grew up to become a talented blacksmith hidden away in the corners of their old impoverished village in madhya pradesh. avinash helped kiaan craft the upamarayati a few summers back, though he was never told what its true purpose was. kiaan always visits him whenever he turns to india to get his non-cursed blade sharpened and polished.
rati srinivasan (22)
a spoiled rich kid and recent graduate from the grant medical college in mumbai who now works as a research assistant under shalini's wing. rati stumbled across their experiments while straying away from the group of the university tour he was on to investigate the research wing. it was in that moment that he slammed open the door and barged right into a swirling mass of magical darkness. in order to buy his silence, the wicked youngster demanded that he be added to the project, as only one with copious amounts of money and too much time on his hands could. rati is currently deployed in nigeria on a research trip per kiaan's request.
pooja (20) & anika (16)
kiaan's two "sisters" from the orphanage, the found family that kept him sane throughout his youth. five and seven years younger than him respectively, they drove him up the wall nearly as much as they had him wrapped around their pinky fingers. he often refers to them as his little yakshas, given their duality. ever since his silent departure to mythos, however, they have not spoken; kiaan is convinced they detest him, and they've moved on to live relatively successful lives since he's exited their lives.

    ♔ mythological info ♔
    divine father.
    Ta Kora, Akan mythology and the Fante people view Ta Kora as the god of war, and strife. Ta Kora is the god of thunder, and lightning in Asante mythology.

    dormitories.
    viribus

    capabilities.
    lightning manipulation, Ta Kora has immense lightning capabilities and has, on multiple occasions displayed his strength through immense thunderstorms throughout the land. Kobby has inherited his lightning manipulation capabilities. Using it in extremely offensive like fashion. Each strike covering a large area with lightning backing the strike. Coating his figure in lightning, causing sporadic lightning to flow through the area. Within enough strength this can also be used as a defensive mechanism. People around Kobby can easily be shocked by lightning. This increases his speed to immense levels, and makes his strength more enhanced.

    Ta Kora's Akrafena, Ta Kora gifted Kobby with his bladed lightning Akrafena. The blade is ebony in color with a golden hilt. With a quick, and fluid slash the blade sends golden condensed strikes of lightning to the intended target. These lightning strikes are immensely fast. However it's extremely hard to control and requires intense training. Throughout his years at the academy Kobby has mastered this particular blade.

    enhanced strength, being a demigod Kobby's strength is impressive. Ta Kora is symbolized as an imposing large warrior with immense strength. He is known as one of the most powerful deities within the Akan Pantheon. This immense strength has translated well to Kobby. Who maintains a peak physical form.

    enhanced bladed combat, Ta Kora gifted Kobby with an Akrafena that has the capability of releasing condensed rapid lightning strikes from the blade. With a relatively quick slash of the blade golden bolts of lightning are rushed out of the blade, and directed towards the target. They're immensely fast strikes of lightning. Nonetheless, during Kobby's time at the academy he has advanced his knowledge on bladed combat for this particular reason.

    military strategies, most deities of war desire bloodshed, death and destruction. Ta Kora despises Owuo, the god of death, and refused to work with him. Therefore Ta Kora displayed enhanced military strategies to avoid as much death as possible. It's truly a different mindset. Kobby displays this leadership mindset, and understands enhanced military strategies as though it's second nature. Unless of course Kobby's anger gets the better of him.

    weaknesses.
    Kobby has a natural weakness to nature based defensive affinities (earth manipulation.) An overall distaste for death and meaningless destruction, which he battles with given his anger, and controlling his lightning manipulation in water is impossible. His lightning manipulation can become sporadic at times. He has an anger issue at times, this anger issue voids all general reserves he has and gives into his inhibitions as a god of war offspring.

insight








  • it comes to him in a dream.

    veneers of red and a mother born of the same shade. before the birth of ramadan comes the birth of vengeance; the need for it, and the divine call upon it. she tells him this in little tales. she tells him of the blood rivers and the angry gods. on one moonlit night, she says to him this:

    sweetness masks blood, child. not all that nourishes is meant to keep you whole. when the time comes — and it may; trust your rage.

    and he wonders: what if it blinds him? what if it causes him to fall sick? like the rumored plagues bestowed by her hand. but what does a mother know other than to teach? and, what of a mother that teaches the best she knows? at the age of eighteen, ramadan learns that his mother knows one thing better than any, and that is the song of vengeance. in the dream, he's bridled by tales, raised by crows and tar-coated fields. and he grows, more than any, to idealize resentment. to think in white and black, and to wear the virtues of his mother like they were his own.
