LOST CLAN CREATION FORM
The Horseman
Name: Senga. ( Meaning "slender." )
Nicknames: Little wolf.
Gender: Male.
Age: Unknown. Seems "younger" however.
Original Clan: War.
Job Role:
Executioner.
Executioners are War Clan members specifically in charge of harvesting Fear, though they also show strong capabilities in the weapons arts, specifically with close range and bladed weapons. Executioners have very strong close range combat, and are the fastest of their tribe, capable of rendering a fatal kill with a single blow.
Personality:
Overview:
While his sister, Iyari, self-identifies strongly with the word fierce, Senga relates near perfectly with the word quiet. That is not, however, to say that Senga is antisocial. No, not at all. The young executioner is more than willing to partake in conversation when there is an actual conversation to be had. Senga prefers silence to the distraction of words and idle, useless chat. There is no need for such things, so why should he bother with it? Senga doesn't understand how people can find the quiet so unnerving, or why they are so desperate to fill the air with words instead. Senga is also silent in his very physical nature. Years and years have gone into perfecting the young executioners art of stealthiness, making it very easy for him to sneak up on others, and for him to sneak away when a crowd gets too large or a gathering too uncomfortable for his tastes. Senga prefers the company of one or two to many, and even though he lived in the War clan where little is private and near everything is shared, he still favors the solitude of the jungles and the forests to the sounds of civilization and to crowds and tight clusters of people.
Though quiet, Senga is extremely physical. He finds emotions easier to convey in touch and gesture than in words, and often relies on his hands to display gratitude and happiness, anxiety and loathing, instead of his mouth. That, sadly, means that Senga is just as likely to punch someone to convey his anger as he is to curl up next to someone to convey fondness. The young executioner is far better and far more comfortable in someone else's physical space than he is trying to talk about his feelings out loud. That is not to say that Senga breaches strangers personal bubbles however. More intimate physical touches are reserved only for people he knows well. Others who have displayed a tolerance for his fondness of conveying emotions through actions instead of words. If one were to try and push Senga into a conversation about his emotions, especially towards someone else, he'd be about as graceful with his words as a drowning cat. Probably even less graceful, considering the cat would at least have the decency to simply sink to the bottom and die instead of getting flustered and pacing about like a headless minipet.
Senga is extremely efficient. When tasked with something to do, he does it and does it quickly, without any distractions. The young executioner dislikes those that goof off during tasks and waste time during missions, and finds no use in lazing about when there is work to be done. Unlike many of his clan, Senga fights with a very cold-blooded and calculating demeanor in battle, always trying to be one step ahead, and never allowing emotions to come into play. Though the lust and heat of battle grates and tugs against his core the same as any other, the young executioner displays a level of extreme self-control that has been worked on and worked over and over through the years. It is dreadfully difficult to work Senga up into heated anger in battle, and even more so to break entirely through his self-control. The executioner fights in a controlled way, never exceeding the amount of effort needed to finish the job, never fighting with the same heated passion that many members of his clan displays. If one were to break away his self-control though, if one were to truly see him fighting without holding himself back, than it would probably be a very, very bad day for anyone opposite his blade. Instead of releasing emotion outwards for others to see, Senga inverts it, locks it all up inside. There are a thousand little emotions inside of him that he refuses to show on the outside, and he is extremely wary of the day when he is not able to anymore.
Many might make the mistake that because Senga is so quiet in his emotions that he is callous and indifferent. This couldn't be further from the truth. Senga is deceptively easy to hurt through words, and hates to be chastised or scolded at all. When he is, he works harder and harder to improve, though it might not be easy for others to see. The young executioner never forgets crude words and confrontations, and though it is nearly impossible to make him hold a grudge, the slightest belittlement can send a potential relationship between him and another careening down a ravine. While others may stick to the phrase "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me," Senga seems to have completely reversed it. Wounds heal, and scars fade. It is part of life to be hurt physically, to learn from it and to fight on and on. But words stay with him forever.
Despite his rather silent nature, Senga is extremely inquisitive. He isn't afraid of new places and exploring new things, and though always extremely hesitant of earning scoldings or chastisement, he loves to learn about things unfamiliar to him. The young executioner, however, prefers observation to trying something foreign to his hands in front of another, preferring instead to give it a go where others can't see and criticize. Because of this, Senga tends to perch in the shadows or stay on the sidelines, watching and waiting and taking everything in unless he is dragged to do something by force, or hassled into it by someone of a higher standing than him. Senga has a curiosity that is insatiable, and enjoys the idea of exploration and observation. However, as someone with all of the grace of a drowning cat in actual conversation, he likes to enjoy it from where he cannot easily be seen and where he can watch without interfering.
( tl;dr : quiet, controlled, blunt, physical & physically affectionate, sensitive, insecure, inquisitive, observational, quick learner )
Mount Form: A large elk with horns strung through with threads and skulls similar to how Senga himself is dressed. Thick feathers similar in match to the young executioners wings are also strewn to the antlers and on the simple saddle.
Weapon Form: A simple katara with a bronze hilt. The katara or suwaiya is a type of push dagger from India. It is characterised by its H-shaped horizontal hand grip, which results in the blade of the sword sitting above the user's knuckles. The blade, typically measuring 1–3 feet in length, is usually cut with a number of fullers. Most katara have straight blades, but in some areas they are commonly wavy.
FEAR ATTACK: The Wolf's Execution ( The Battle Cry ) - Manipulating a massive amount of Fear into his katara to give it a boost, Senga moves forward to deliver a final, decisive blow. He does not care for fancy, grandiloquent moves, only ones that get the job done, which makes his Fear Attack perfect and fine for him.

★ : Conquest: ... They talk too much. As one who hardly listens when a conversation gets too intricate or grandiloquent for him to follow easily, Senga finds the clan members of Conquest rather trying for him to deal with, with all of their fancy traditions and all. The young executioner is rather uneasy about being around them and finds their many ways of etiquette to be somewhat confusing and pointless, and while he does not feel like the clan of War is superior, he'd rather stay in the shadows and simply observe if he can help it right now.
★ : Famine: Senga is not sure what to feel about Famine, and has never quite formed a solid opinion on them. He has always been intrigued by the scavengers, but as with the other clans apart from his own, he tends to stay his distance, sticking to shadows and sidelines instead of daring to intrude. At least for now.
★ : War: His own clan! Senga is very biased towards the members of War and will do anything to defend them. He strives hard to prove himself worthy to the others, even more so now that their home has been destroyed and there isn't anymore time to waste on trivial things.
★ : Death: Senga is rather intimidated by Death, but at the same time he finds himself extremely intrigued as well. He knows better than to stray too close and risk crossing boundaries, so as with Conquest, he simply stays in the shadows now that the reserves houses them all. Observing, watching.

★ : Amityville: Suspicion and curiosity mingle together whenever Senga thinks about the students that visited their Isle and the residents of Halloweentown itself. The young executioner wants to learn more, but constantly pushes away the desire to focus on what he must do; help rebuild. Of course, that doesn't stop from wondering, from wanting to know more. He doesn't trust them in the least, especially when he remembers that they came to the Isles at the same time as the hunters. But trust has nothing to do with curiosity. As for the reserve they have been given, Senga is both grateful and in some sort of twisted culture-shock. So used to the jungles of the War Clan, he's having trouble adapting to the silence of their new home and the fact that little of his clan exists anymore here.
★ : Hunters: Disgust. While Senga has never been known to hold grudges, he will never let go of the memory of what the Hunters have done to their home, and their people. However, Senga is still in shell-shock over the entire matter, so the new kindling hatred of the Hunters is something that is still muted inside, buried beneath the constant questions in his head and the idea that this is all some sick dream. Senga does not trust himself to speak aloud about the subject of these humans, for fear that his quiet exterior would break in two as soon as he uttered the word 'hunter' out loud.
★ : On the Destruction of the Clans: Though having mostly worn off, Senga is still in a bit of shell-shock over the entire thing. He could recount with perfect memory what he'd been doing right before the event; how normal everything had seemed apart from the foreign intrusion of students into their lands. The young executioner has forced all of his self-control into containing himself and his emotions, and as such, he has not grieved openly or outwardly at all. The event has also left Senga with stage one Insanity, making him constantly question himself and whether he is even good enough for the clan anymore. The young executioner's self-control has taken a large blow because of this, in between maintaining his facade of calm and trying to keep the insanity in check. This makes Senga more prone to lash out, to forget himself, to become violent physically and to abandon his usual quiet to yell.

★ : Iyari: His older sister and only surviving relative, Senga is extremely relieved and grateful that she survived. Though he is loyal to her in every aspect, Senga also feels greatly overshadowed by his older sister, and the Insanity only serves to exacerbate this insecurity of his. Iyari has always been naturally fierce and competitive, a favorite for the role of Chieftain. Senga has always tried to follow in Iyari's footsteps, to catch up to her one day. The queen's soldier is one of the only few who have ever seen Senga display a wide variety of emotion through both physical gestures and words -- no matter how terrible he is and has always been with them.
