Detailed

Ataya is wickedly intelligent, but still probably not as clever as he thinks he is. As a child, he absorbs information like a sponge, never satisfied that he has enough, and actively seeks it through whatever means possible. He asks endless strings of questions, exhausting his parents' knowledge and then, when they run out of answers, turning to whatever outside sources he can find. As soon as he learns to read, said hobby becomes an intrinsic part of his life (until he loses his eyesight), books seeming to all but meld themselves to his hands and following him everywhere.

At a very young age - in the range of twelve months to three years old - he witnesses, unbeknownst to said parent at the time, his father's brutal murder of an invader in their home. This event triggers in Ata a morbid, borderline obsessive fascination with death, the process, and the aftermath. From that point on, observation, study, and experiment with it become a fixture in his learning process, causing him to seek out - as soon as he may - whatever texts he can get his hands on in subjects relating to blood magic, body manipulation, and necromancy.

Of course, for a small boy, the availability of this stock is virtually non-existent, forcing him to resort to trial, error, and - when older - multiple attempts at thievery of tomes he wouldn't otherwise be allowed to access. Eventually, perhaps inevitably, he delves too deep and too dark, drowning himself in a spell too powerful for him to control, and it costs him his vision.


Weaknesses: Despite growing up in a highly sheltered environment with two loving parents and a doting sister with whom he shares a powerful bond, the damaging attitudes of society which he is eventually - inevitably - exposed to have an especially powerful impact on Ataya. Used to the love and protection of his own family and close acquaintances (his 'uncles', Casseth and Lithian), the backlash he receives from the first day he ever sets foot outside of the mountains of the Terra Expanse is an uninvited shock. As he grows, his initial desire to 'prove' himself to those who don't accept or respect him is slowly worn away in favor of an embedded bitterness paired with a rebuttable presumption that all purebloods are inherently narrow minded and unworthy of his time. Though once upon a time, he thought that if only he tried harder if only he learned faster, learned more, presented himself more appropriately, their attention and favor could be won over, eventually this thought is thoroughly extinguished. In its place, he concludes that most all will assume he is a monster on sight and it is not worth his time or effort to go to the extensive lengths it would take to prove otherwise. He will be what he is, and they can take that as they will.

His bitterness by that point (his late teens onward) is a mirror aimed at the outside world, a defensive mechanism, and a learned response. With it comes a default distrust of most everyone but the most trusted of sources as well as (though he will not admit it) an increased neediness in regards to those he does trust. He loses his eyesight around this time, which only serves to augment his festering insecurity, volatile nature, and crippling fear that if he can lose that, anything and everything else precious to him is subject to be taken also. As a personal, emotional defense, he begins making a point to care about absolutely as little as possible, investing himself only at the barest minimum and withdrawing from everything he can. This mechanism is instinctive more than it is outright or intentional, but has the effect of making him - if he seemed chilly or emotionally distant before - outright cold, amoral, and borderline unreachable in terms of empathy.

Strengths: In addition to intelligence and despite the great chasm of emotional distance he tends to put between himself and most others, the select few who make it within Ataya's circle of trust are afforded his absolute loyalty. He loves his family dearly and considers harm to them as a direct equivalent to harm to himself; an insult to them is an insult to himself; anything that would be justified in terms of avenging or defending himself is doubly so justified in avenging or defending those of his blood or those who have by other means managed to work themselves up to that level of trust. Because this circle is exceedingly small, Ataya can afford to give that much weight to it.

He is also fiercely determined and painstakingly thorough when he dedicates himself to a goal or task, willing to pour ceaseless hours into research, exploration, or experimentation in order to find the answers or outcome he is after.

In terms of his world-view, he is arguably 'progressive' in his lack of prejudice towards hybrids, though this is significantly counter-balanced to the worse in regards to his growing prejudice towards purebloods.

Fears: For all his shows of confidence and grandeur, Ataya has a wellspring of only decently well-masked insecurities that linger beneath his skin, dictating a number of his decisions. Above all else, he fears helplessness and abandonment.

His magic, though he will not admit it, is an absolute crutch for him. It is his single greatest strength and everything that keeps him self-sufficient and capable. He uses it to do move about, to 'see', to read, to prepare meals and locate simple day to day objects and, when necessary, defend himself. It is his sole protector other than those around him who step up to the plate and his only weapon. Without it he is powerless, and absolutely vulnerable, living his greatest fear. Loss of his magic or a cripple in it terrifies Ataya, for it is everything keeping him (relatively) sane and able.

Second only to absolute helplessness, Ataya fears abandonment. Though he grew up greatly loved by those close to him, the attitudes of the rest of the world have seeped enough into his skin to make a part of Ataya ever-doubt if he is lovable, or worth anyone's time but his own. He tells himself incessantly that he does not care for the emotions of others, but simultaneously leeches on the love he can get and is perpetually petrified that one day, he will wake up to find he has finally proven himself to be the monster that everyone accuses him of being and no one can any longer bear to share his presence. He vacillates between testing the love and boundaries of those who do give it to him, pushing them away and daring them to come back to him, and clinging desperately while he can.

Life Goals: World domination.

Though this was not precisely a goal during his childhood, and is not a particularly realistic goal in adulthood - which he realizes - but the reality doesn't stop the fantasy from being any less appealing. By the time he reaches his mid- to late-twenties, the allure of an [wip]

Sayings: "Give a name to a thing, and it can be taken from you." - "Most assume we are monsters - why expend effort proving them wrong?" - "I will break the rules until I grow powerful enough to rewrite them as I see fit." - "Justice is a matter of perspective." - "There are no men like me."

Quirks: Though Ataya will insist that one of the advantages to being blind is that he cares nothing for appearances - including his own - his behavior contradicts that assertion in several small ways, emphasizing the opposite truth: he has deeply ingrained insecurities about his looks. Every morning upon waking, and every night before bed, Ataya's hair (which he keeps long throughout his life) receives a hundred strokes with a brush, keeping it maintained, sleek, and healthy. He additionally pays particularly meticulous care in his bathing rituals, as though, if he were only a bit cleaner or a bit better presented, the slurs he receives about his mottled skin, unsightly milk-white eyes, wart-like scales or skeletal figure would no longer apply.

Of course, as he grows he no longer thinks of these rituals as attempts to satisfy anyone other than himself and certainly not as representations of vanity or insecurity. They become habit at a very young age when his reasoning is passive aggressive and not yet fully thought-through and remain ingrained in his daily process through to adulthood and beyond.

Thoughts on the Other Races: Ataya does not share his father's opinions on rigid lines of distinction between the races. On average, he suffers vindictiveness directed at him from all races for his mixed blood alone, and he considers his mother and father exceptions, not the rule, as far as their respective races are concerned, thus setting all purebloods of no relation to him on approximately equal footing. As such, instead of basing judgments on race, he puts individuals in a hierarchy based on the relative merits of their personal strengths and weaknesses as he defines them. Hybrids, in his opinion, have an automatic advantage here.

Born of mixed blood, hybrids have a natural affinity for multiple great sources of power, enabling them to start from a base of broader opportunities. They can tap into a wider range of magics, learn to wield and master more weaponry simultaneously, and understand on an innate level the inner biological workings and magical frequencies of more than one race. In addition to this innate bloodline advantage, the prejudices of the surrounding world - as far as Ataya has observed - tailor hybrids towards superiority as a racial group. The circumstances impressed upon hybrids as a whole force wherewithal, durability, and more self-sufficiency on them as a pragmatic lifestyle necessity. Those who live past infancy, fight through childhood, progress through their teenage years, and survive to become adults must be either capable in some regard or possess a deity-granted gift of infinite luck. Either way, it is a rite of passage that purebloods are not forced through on the whole, and hybrids come out stronger for it.

Thoughts on the Great Engagement: Squabblings between the pureblood races of the world are childish as they are pointless and ineffective. Each of the pureblood races is approximately equal. All have their strengths and their weaknesses, and the fighting as a result is productive only as a means to cull the population and, as a side effect, weed out those too weak and too brave. Eventually, there ought - in his mind - be an uprising of hybrids. They are the only blood group with logical superiority and claim to dominance. Should their numbers ever reach high enough, and Ataya anticipates that they will, purebloods will eventually know what it means to experience life as second-class citizens.

Thoughts on Dragons and Khehora: The potential for power within dragons is fascinating and alluring. Despite being of the aiskala clan, he is intensely interested in the minute workings of all types of magic, including those clans he is not part of and those outside of the elemental circle and beyond. To Ataya, dragons are a resource, an exemplary display of power, and something to be harnessed as such. He will make use of crushing souls purely for the power rush and insight into the different avenues down which he can push his magical energy.

Khehora were designed to be servile. His father has instilled in him great emphasis on the fact that khehora are just as intelligent and feeling as Magescians and that the bond is a slave-relationship inherently, and thus fundamentally wrong even under the most favorable circumstances imaginable. Ataya, however - particularly as he grows - is intrigued by the concept of an entire race imagined and bred to be followers. If it weren't for his extreme discomfort with the concept of having any mind but his own sharing his thought processes, the bond would appeal to him immensely. As is, he still contemplates the allure from time to time.

| Parents |

Detraeus Doryu - father - Oblivionite, Archer

Ataya and his father are alike in all the wrong ways and clash in all the rest. Both stubborn, headstrong, and opinionated, they bash heads like competing rhamidons, spouting polarized opinions and seeming to find something to disagree upon at every imaginable turn. As a father, Detraeus desires obedience, trust, and cooperation from his children. He prizes physical fitness, education from practical experience, and faith, preaching caution in all things, deliberation, and combat training from an age younger than his mate approves of. He also expects to be treated with respect (in the form of compliance) and as a primary source of authority.

Ataya was never a physically strong child, nor has physical strength ever particularly mattered to him. He values intellect, magic, and discovery over brute force any day, and as such, Detraeus' forced lessons in combat - archery, knife fighting, swordsmanship, hand-to-hand drills, etc. - were not only exhausting, boring, and openly humiliating for Ataya (who consistently failed miserably on all such fronts), but he considered them virtually worthless to him and an exercise in futility. From a very young age, he began chafing against his father's will, exacerbating natural tendencies for conflict in both of them.

It did not help that Detraeus took Ataya's rebelliousness as indication that he was not being strict enough yet - and thus imposed more force and restrictions on his son by way of attempting to 'remedy' his failures to instill proper discipline - or that, intentionally or not, he manifested what appeared to be an obvious preference for Ataya's sister and twin, Akara. By the time he reaches his early teens, and even to some degree before then, Ataya is actively going out of his way to step on his father's toes, rebelling on principle, as much for the purpose of angering and 'punishing' his father as to assert a conflicting opinion.

Ultimately, Ataya loves his father, but grows to assume that he is by nature a permanent disappointment to the man, a feeling that festers and manifests itself in anger, misunderstanding, and a growing strain on their relationship the older he gets.

Araceli Doryu - mother - Dovaa, Ayrala

Ataya has always been closer to his mother than his father. As a small child and as a growing boy, she encouraged him in all his pursuits, regardless of his father's approval or lack thereof, and often served as a mediator between the two, working Detraeus down to positions of greater leniency and encouraging Ataya to at least try to understand his father's perspectives, however rigid or unfair they might seem to him. Araceli was also, by way of her race, more naturally inclined towards magic, providing Ataya with a sounding board for all his most basic curiosities in his earliest years.

As he grows, Ataya turns to his mother as a primary recourse when he cannot resolve his issue or vent his frustrations accurately to his sister (who is generally his first option, before either of his parents). He loves his mother immensely, though there are some subjects that never reach her ears.

| Siblings |

♀ Akara - several hours older than Ataya - Peisio Archer

Akara is Ataya's other half and, so far as his opinions and reasoning is concerned, an extension of himself. Talking to her is like consulting with another part of him, an intrinsic, permanent ally. He will confide everything in her as openly as he would when sifting through thoughts in his own mind, and defend her with life and limb. Born first, stronger, and healthier from a young age, Akara was the 'protector' of her little brother for most of their early years and on. This relationship eventually balances out to one of mutual protectiveness, support, and words shared in confidence, but as children, she took a definite guardian role.

As a young adult, Akara still holds the position of Ataya's most trusted confidant, one with whom he generally feels comfortable sharing anything with, even though he knows their opinions in certain areas have diverged with time and age. He shares what he does with her with complete honesty, even when he knows or suspects that she will not approve, trusting that she will keep his secrets for him and wanting to maintain her trust in his truthfulness. As Akara settles young, building a family for herself and starting a life on her own, their paths continue to fork further apart in terms of experience, but of all of his family, Ataya maintains the closest understanding with his sister, and often views her as his rock in an otherwise tumultuous world. While Ataya does not fully understand or remotely relate to his sister's want to settle down and raise a family, he would protect her and her kin as readily as he would himself or his lover.

◆✚✚ Dysarrin - Hybrid Wildthing - Firani Barbarian

Dysarrin, in Ataya's own words, "smells like a week old carcass marinated lovingly in hastar piss and rotting fish." He first encountered the wild boy when he was seven years old, Dysarrin ten, when the boy invaded his private 'training spot', a dusty spot of mountain located under a gnarled desert tree some short distance up from his house. After an exchange of harsh words, fussing, thrown rocks, and a slap on Ataya's part to Dys for invading his personal space, the two eventually became friends by process of elimination: neither had any other options.

Over the years, they maintained and built on this friendship, so that Ataya came to consider him a trusted - if disgusting - ally and a valuable part of his life. While Ataya had never begun to consider anything more than a friendship - feeling as though Dysarrin was at least as much beast as boy, for one thing - as he went through his teenage years and grappled with his sexuality and sexual frustrations in general, the teased suggestion that Dysarrin could be more than a friend implanted itself at the back of his mind. He refused, at first, to entertain it on the conclusion that, being as he was, if Dysarrin had felt any such interest in him, he would have acted on it already. The fact though that Dysarrin ("even Dysarrin") was not interested in him weighed heavy on Ataya's frustrations while wrestling with insecurity over his self-image.

Following that through to its conclusion, Ataya eventually sought at least physical satisfaction elsewhere and found 'romance' with someone else. This was, apparently, the prompt Dysarrin needed, and upon noting the unwanted evidence of someone else having touched 'his' Ataya, Dysarrin made it clear that such behavior was unwelcome. He and Ataya consummated the beginning of a relationship beyond friendship - but not quite defined enough to be much else - in the dirt under the tree where they first met.

◆✚ Casseth - 'Uncle'/Friend of Father, reasonably trusted adult, Obliv/Dovaa/Ord Hybrid - Gaili Barbarian

Casseth, being the only adult hybrid in his life, is someone that Ataya feels a particular passive affinity for, feeling that there are some things about his life and growing experience that the others around him - even his parents - simply cannot properly understand. Though he is not as close to Casseth as his sister or his parents, there are some things he would trust to Casseth before bringing them up to his mother or father. He looks up to the man on a certain level, but disapproves of some of his choices (the pit, wherein he fought and killed other hybrids), and doesn't understand Cas' overall positive outlook on life.

◆✚ Lithian - 'Uncle'/Mate of Casseth, reasonably trusted adult, Dovaa - Peisio

Lithian is a different story. Growing up, Lithian held a similar place in Ataya's circle of relationships as did Casseth, but as Ataya moves through his teenage years, he begins to feel a disconnect with Lithian due to his pureblood status. He struggles to grapple with things that do not connect for him: Why would Lithian leave his entire family behind? Give up the life he had as a pureblood? Throw his fortunes away, all for a single man? It doesn't help that Lithian's temperament and life attitudes have very little overlap with Ataya's own philosophies, but - in the end - Lithian remains one of those few on Ata's list of trusted persons, and Ataya opens himself up to him on some levels that he is not willing to go with his own father.

◆✚ Kilian - Father of Casseth, Oblivionite - Warrior

As Casseth's father, and as a man Ataya's own father has always respected deeply, Ataya knows Killian, but in a more distant sense. Several generations his senior and displaced from Ataya's own life, the man is more a figure and an occasional headstone in memory than an active participant. Ataya respects him for the man that he is - having lived as long as he has, clearly dedicated to his roots, and having raised a man who was for a time his father's only friend. But Kilian is a warrior and a blacksmith, highly physical, and other than a respect for hybrids which Ataya finds interesting and a mysterious past as it regards to Casseth's estranged mother, Ataya has little in common with the man and not much to touch base on. He still, though, falls within the circle that Ataya considers family, if not as close as his sister, mother, father, or even his uncles or cousins.

◆■ Keona - Oblivionite/Dovaa/Orderite Hybrid - Ayrala Archer

A young hybrid woman Ataya first encountered on the outskirts of Tukyere after a run-in with bandits. She aided him in his injured state, bringing him to her father, Junjie, a healer, and speeding his recovery. Though he doesn't know her fact, Ataya considers her voice 'pretty' and assumes she is an attractive girl with a genial, if a bit trusting, temperament. They are obviously two very different people, but Ataya would not be opposed to meeting her again. She does not grate on his senses as some do, and he would be curious to learn more about her, particularly being that she is the same racial makeup as he, and of the clan and class that his mother and father are respectively.

◆■ Junjie - Dovaa/Orderite Hybrid - Ysali Mage

A powerful, master healer and hybrid, Junjie is intriguing to Ataya. He seems to be a kind man, well versed in his art, and though Ataya does not trust him necessarily, he finds himself reasonably at ease in the man's presence. His mastery of his magic, as well as his general successes in life despite being born hybrid make him a source of curiosity and potential learning. Ataya encountered him first when the man's daughter, Keona, brought Ataya in for healing. Since then, Ataya has returned with his newly hatched bonded, Karazhan, for advice on how to cope with green magic and help her develop her natural talents. Ataya would not be averse to future meetings with this man.

Basic Info || To me, plot is the heartbeat of RPing, so if you have any interest in interacting with my character(s) please tell me - but be ready to plot! It's what keeps me going, quite literally, and I have at least as much fun speculating about what could, might or will happen as I do actually writing about such things. Bear with me, because I'm a sucker for details - and I tend to write a lot. (Not always, but sometimes my fingers just get ahead of me.) I adore getting to know characters on far more than the surface level and love situations that test their mettle to the core.

Whether in-depth character testing is what you want or if you'd just rather hit Ataya up for a sparring session, here's how you can get in contact with me to talk more about plot:

♦ PM - I'm available through PM, though I'll have to admit this is not necessarily my preferred choice (I'm totally fine with it, it's just that PMs, like thread discussions, are slow and clunky). If you want to discuss more in depth and one on one with me, though, PMs are totally fine.

♦ AIM - I love chatting over IMs, and I know most people have Skype, but sadly my computer is a piece of $h!t and won't cooperate with Skype. My AIM is anihyr.moonstar@gmail.com. If you have Yahoo! messenger and would prefer to chat with me on there, I'm willing to download that to chat.

♦ Chatzy - great free, no-download-required, group-chat-friendly instant messenger room. If anyone wants to use this method, I will set up a room and send you the link.
