Brief Bio

Svarshan comes from Am'shere. He spent time under the tutelage of an upright, Myrrish noblewoman, Madrienne Mandara and her niece Ganesa for a number of years until they parted ways. While friends, their unequal social footing--and the natural difference between Myrrish customs and Am'shere ones--ensured the divide would eventually happen. The results have taken him a while to sort out, while at the same time he attempts to figure out what the hell it means to be a sith'makar. And a paladin. Both.

During recent events and the slow-burning chaos of Myrddion, the Mandaras have fared moderately well. The cottage outside of Alexandria where Madrienne resided is no more--it fell to a marauding band of demons, and Madrienne as well. Ganesa escaped--and in the meantime is off in the protection of relatives on Myrrish land. The death would have been of wider note without the chaos surrounding recent events. As it is--news still trickles in, and Madrienne's death would not be widely known for some time.

On the heels of it, Svarshan found himself changing--the sith'makars' blood Awakened, and freed from the expectations of Myrrish society, he begun to learn of himself, his people, and his nation. As he delves deeper into what it means to be a sith'makar, he seeks harmony between the tempers, primitive spiritualism of his race, and the teachings of the Church. Though the two appear to him incompatible, he's found harmony in parts, and a deeper appreciation for the mysteries of Am'shere.

Also, someone recently issued a number of plushies to give to orphans. These say in a highly Myrrish voice: "I like to chomp demons!" and are the latest in the line of a never-ending battle.

He often speaks slowly or not much at all. This is in part because he thinks in draconic, and part of it is due to other as-yet undisclosed sources. Draconic is a more aggressive language with its own history, structure, and way of speaking. The result is that much of his communication is nonverbal. When he speaks, he undergoes the struggle to find the right words in common that will carry a similar 'emphasis' or 'feel,' as well as working through what seems to be a fog of some kind. His words are less literal than emotive. :D

In real-world terms, he suffers from aphasia and has been recently married off, which is not something every sith-makar do. One of the terms is cihuaa, and in his case it meant the elders had thought he had been losing his ties to Am'shere.

Cihuaa

Loosely translated as 'mate.' Her name is Vthria of the Atoyaatl tribe, and she is something of a trainer and a merchant. (I am still writing her, so her story is somewhat incomplete).

Srassha

Srassha is a Jungle Princess. She is the prettiest and fiercest thing in the jungle. This was the inspiration for Srassha. And this is maybe a picture of her. And the thumbnail is an image of her decked out in all her pretties--for some softskin Temple occasion.

Of Faith

Svarshan does not often talk of his faith, or even debate it very much. To him it is "just there," just as Daeus seems "always present." His main responsibilities for the Daeusites focus on his race's more savage nature and his role as a slayer of demon and devils.
