Khaj Shadowrun

The Warrior

"Ang taong walang kibo, nasa loob ang kulo."

"A quite person hides his anger."At 5'9 he does not stand quite as the tallest of his siblings, a title held by his younger brother, he still commands a considerable presence among them. A solid 270 ponz, he has enough weight to grapple with the best of them while still maintaining speed where it counts. Still very capable of defending his position despite edging into his sunset years, he shows a conservation of movement only honed by years of mastery.His age shows in the faded green and grey of his hair, often tied with beads of shell and bone. A single golden eye crinkles with crow's feet when he smiles while the other remains hidden behind cloth or leather. His body from face to calf, front to back is marked with tattoos that tell stories, represent life lessons, and commemorate his achievements. He is everything the Sigwa represent physically down to the filed sharp teeth of his smile.He wears clothing made from linen worked by Sigwa hands with leather only being used as armor padding. Ornamented with a few gifted beads his clothing is never quite as decorated as his spiritual counterpart, Ryska. Jewelry is scarce on him save for a carved necklace, two rings, and earrings all made from the same giant tooth. Sporting half of a tail due to an old accident, he doesn't take much notice anymore to the shortened appendage.At a Glance

The Guardian

"Ang palay ay parisan, habang nagkakalaman ay lalong nagpugpugay."

"Be like a rice stalk, the more grains it bears, the lower it bows."Council to the tribe's Babaylan, Khaj takes his position very seriously. A pinnacle of strength within the tribe, he represents the physical prowess of his people. Years of combat training has done him well as he continues to best young challengers despite his handicap. Regardless, he is the one who typically trains and teaches the young fighters in hopes that one day they will succeed him.A father figure to those within the tribe, he still shows his playful side through light pranks and teasing. Unlike some of the more gregarious members, Khaj tends to be the watchful eye and perked ear within a room. The ever attentive parent, he typically stands at the sidelines watching his family celebrate each day like it's their last.Conversations tend to be brief or one sided unless he is with family. Occasionally, he is found within the libraries of Ul'dah and there he is but a student among scholars. Always searching for more to learn, he gladly listens to lectures from the young and old alike.

OOC Information

THINGS TO REMEMBER:
■ I am a DM for my free company, The Siren’s Bounty and work a fulltime job to pay my bills. I love making contacts, but I am not available on a 24/7 basis. My time is important to me, and I do not give it out lightly. Your time is important to me, so I will not ask for it lightly.■ Communication is also important, so OOC chatter is always welcome and encouraged. If you feel like something is not making sense, please contact me so we can work through the issue.■ I'm 40 and I'm not really comfortable roleplaying with folks too much younger than me, so 21+ is mandatory and 30+ is preferred. Sorry kids.■ If you use 'tribal' as a synonym for savage or feral don't interact with
me. Tribes are families first, not some excuse to commit another
microaggression. I am not interested in engaging with anyone's racist
fanon [That awful viera one or otherwise], any misrepresentation of
indigenous people as 'savage/feral/cavemen', or any 'noble savage'
characters.■ I make good use of my blacklist function, and have absolutely zero tolerance for fascist bullshit OOC. As a PoC I am very well educated in dog whistles, so expect all the poorly veiled excuses to roleplay fascist pigs get blacklisted.■ If the plagiarism machine [generative AI of any kind] is required for you to RP, you need not apply. I'd like to RP with a real person, not someone asking an AI to reply to my posts.

A little about me
