Welcome to Gaia! ::

Info
Name: Kellye (Kell-lie as in an untruth)
Race: Ice
Gender: Male
3 Base Traits: Logical, Proud, Fiercly loyal, Clever, Leader, Charismatic, Intolerant
Personality: Kellye had to learn fast from a young age as such he is a logical observant over thinker. It has served him well but can make him kind of a pain in the a** sometimes if you are trying to hide something from him. He was raised on the streets for much of his formative years and as such has very few people he trusts but those that he does are closer than a blood bond would be. He still remembers his family vividly and has never lost site of his ancestry and he will never forget them, he honors them where he can. He is smart and crafty, as he has to be, if he hadn't he would have been snagged by rivals or the enforcement long ago. He hopes to one day have a place of his own where he can farm in peace but he has never told anyone about that dream. To everyone else his only goal is to maintain his balance on top of the thief gang he took over. He has a good head for strategy a fair hand and enough bravery to bolster even the most nervous member. All of the members of his miniature clan are quite young yet and they are not overly large in number but they are quite efficient.
They are held in check by a standard of rules with protects them all and so long as each member follows these rules they gain the protection of the pack overall and all the benefits inherent. When you lived on back alleys reliable backup was absolutely essential. Thus Kellye is intolerant of those who break the rules, there are ways to stay in the gang but there are a few ways that can get you banned. (Ex. betraying others to the authorities, sabotaging a gang strike ect.)
Kellye is a sweetheart despite the front he has to display to keep his people safe and in check. He is capable of love and compassion and often does nice things for complete strangers, helping to balance out the dirty deeds he must sometimes do to keep his people fed. He is not the type of leader to not get his hands dirty and he earns true loyalty from most of his people through this fashion of leadership. He also pushes his people to do legit work where they can find it, congnizant of the stress that the community could withstand and not be too much impeded for winter, Zena was a hard place to make an honest living.

History: Kellye's mother is from an ancient raptrix training bloodline in Secer while his father is from a woodsman lineage in Etine. They met during a winter equinox festival that had been a rather special celebration out in the woods. It involved many lanterns and it was there that the two got to know each other and forged a bond that would take his mother to live with his father in the bush with her battery of animals.

They settled and enjoyed their sweet way of life, they were delighted with Kellye came along and they celebrated his birth with much joy.
Unfortunately there was a raid on their village from mauraders that were passing through to go who knows where, there was a great fire and only Kellye survived the night. He was taken in by another family for a while but they were hit on hard times. Kellye took it upon himself to run away, he made it to Coeld where he joined a gang of homeless youngsters that preyed on others to survive. He was very naive when he came but he adapted swiftly to the life not knowing any other way to survive, eventually over years he took over the gang and has been their beloved leader ever since. He plans to move them elsewhere eventually figuring there are places that could support their number better. He does hope to go fully legit one day as well but for now he is making do with what he has.

Eventually he started to settle down, letting some of the savage stress of the past go. It helped to be close to Sae, he was closest to her out of the whole gang, and she was also the most trustworthy. He knew she would never betray him and the rest of her boyfriend's crazy family are too preoccupied with their critters, pottery and adventures to pay him too much mind. This suited him just fine, as they all gave him enough space to give his mind a break from worrying.

He was fed, he had a great bed to sleep in, and was free to wander about as he liked. He was already feeling more bright eyed and bushy tailed than he had in years. Today, he figured he would do a round of the pens, check out all the critters and their morning with a trip to the beach. Lazily he mosied around and hung off a few of the fences, watching the Quhar herd munch there. They had apparently come from a semi famous merchant in Oba. Perhaps that was why there were so many. They were big, they were pensive, kind of stinky when you got right down to it. He moved on to a large enclosed pen full of very prettily colored perzi, who were grooming themselves in the sun and the shade provided by the fabric tarps that looked like they originated from Oba based on the colors and tassels, which a few of the language Perzi were batting at playfully.

Now they were cute, quiet with claws. They were decently interesting and kind of reminded him of himself. Smiling now he wanted a pack of Xaraan chase their prey down in an enclosed paddock, this was apparently good enrichment for them to be able to hunt. They were very fast and agile using their thick tails to balance as they hopped and twisted in the air light on their feet. They appeared to be dancing. No wonder Saeruin loved it here so much. Well, that and all the males here were disturbingly handsome. In fact, the whole family was pretty stunning. Next on the tour with Janarim housed in an awfully a huge paddock. He got the feeling that they along with the snaptrotters were the most numerous and the biggest favorites. They were sunning rocks, open sandy areas, a shallow pool for drinking and even a planted area that gave them natural safe shade. It was obvious both that they were spoiled and that it was paying off, their scales shone with health in the sunshine their eyes were bright, their postures upright, movement fluid, and their breath was fiery in the morning air. They were truly magnificent.

Moving along reluctantly he came to the snaptrotter paddock that spilled out onto the beach. He looked closer and saw that in fact it spilled out into the ocean with a rather ingenious design that would float in high tide and lower down into a tall fence that kept them in at low tide. Seemed like they put a lot of work into ensuring the highest amount of comfort possible for their animals. He was happy to see that. How someone treated their animals said a lot about their character he felt like he could trust them to look after Sae if he was away.

Her boyfriend certainly seemed to worship the ground she walked on. She deserved to have such a loving big family. He hoped that he found a partner that he could spoil someday. The way Ushiwa spoiled her.
They seem to think and act in tandem and he really couldn't be happier for her. He sat on a sea rock and let the ocean gently lap at his feet as he took breaths of salty sea air. A snaptrotter lazily cruised in the water of the sea paddock. It looked like it was barely moving. Apparently their tail did most of the work. It was so peaceful here, except when a stranger a stranger animal came calling. Then the radaku howled and barked challenge, the perzi yowled and it seemed like every other animal out of their own flavor of alarm call to add to the impressive cacauphony.

Most of the time, though, it was fairly peaceful and wreathed in melodic birdsong from dawn until dusk. He wondered if the small offshore islands got many birds and if faraway island birds like those in Yale had different bird songs to serenade the locals. The ones here certainly sounded different from the most part than Zena. He found he mostly missed the hardy spices and food, the clothing color scheme and not much else. He went a bit further up the beach and lay in a bit of palm shade.

He canted his hat over his eyes to block out most of the sun, flicked his simple shoes off and settled down to nap. He listened to the gentle breeze clack the palm fronds together. He didn't notice that one of the ranch hands had let out a single perzi to keep him company. It was a large blue and sky blue cat that curled with his feet under himself and joined him in his nap. Kellye officially adopted the animal when he woke up to him about an hour later, this was bliss.

Now he need never be alone. He soon got to know the animal that could have chosen freedom but instead decided to nap with him on the beach that day. He named him seaside for their chosen nap spot that day, and Kellye fell head over teakettle for the creature.

He often fell asleep running his hand gently over the the animal who was overall pretty decent at putting up with him. He had never had a stable enough home life to be able to take on a pet but that was all in the past. Now he loved his new cat very much, and found him to be an effective soul bomb making the seaside ranch doubly effective as a much needed therapy for himself. He wasn't sure he ever wanted to leave. But one did not get good at fishing by never leaving the shore. Eventually he would purchase a property near ish where he could build his own house and fully enjoy his new life.

You know for a prentice he was rather well travelled. Kellye looked around at his smallish apartment that he slept in on the ranch. He had chosen one of the nicer rooms in the barn as there was a lot of people in the house, even with a few families like Ushi's moving into buildings that they had erected on the settlement. He looked around at his souvenirs. That red and gold rug from Oba always reminded him of that fine fire fellow he had met who had taken him shopping. He loved the plush fabric and rich detail. He sort of missed the spicey Oban food. He had his furs from Zena which he still kept with him. Maybe one day he would visit there again as an accomplished person after enough years had passed that those he had had to steal to eat from had forgotten his beautiful face. The gifts that Sae had given him. Fine Matori clothes and the best fish hooks he had ever seen. She had practiced and practiced to make him and Theriar exactly what they had needed and he really appreciated the work she had done for him. There were the small gifts that Ushiruin, Kechiri and Ushiwa had given him. He and Ushiwa were on good terms which was a healthy place to be for them both. He thought about his adventure to Jauhar and the epic fishing trip with Ushiruin. That particular fish was in Ushiruin's room and took up an entire wall with its magnificence.

He remembered when Iorhel, (Variel and Viltre's daughter) had snuck aboard Kechiri's pirate ship and he and two others had miraculously avoided Kechiri on her own ship to prevent Ior from getting into trouble. He had been living an exciting life he must admit. Not bad for a former Zenan street rat. Then there were all the fishing trips that he had gone on with Theriar to hone and learn his craft. Fishing was an ideal job. Hard work but satisfying and you were unlikely to go hungry for very long with that type of skill set.

Plus there was teaching people to fish like his friend Akiliano. He had been someone else in need of a friend and Kellye had been honored to fill that position for him. It was good to have a network of people you could depend on. He no longer had any idea what happened to the others in their former mob but he was glad that he had never had to resort to theivery again. It was a soul blackening venture stealing the wealth from people who had worked for it but they had had no choice for a while as that was the only sure way to fill their bellies in Zena's cold and harsh environment, they had been too small to hunt, it would have endangered them all. Still though he would not trade his life in Matori for anything else. Here was home and he loved it. Perhaps he would ask permission to set up a little beach side shack for himself so that if needed someone else could have the little barn room. He would have to get a few more things to furnish it but he was making good coin and for the first time had savings. It felt good to have come so far and in so doing teaching himself that he could go much farther if given half the chance.

Now he looked forward to a bright future full of friends and good times. He was going to make himself a promise to enjoy the moment more. Maybe he would practice painting? Something along those lines, he would dabble in some of the hobbies of the people on the ranch. Maybe Honi could teach him how to do pottery? That was something he had never thought of trying before. He could make the stuff for his new house as much as he could before he had to buy the things that were too difficult or time consuming.

For now the sea was calling and he took up his trustiest rod and trotted out, scooping up his faithful perzi and his shade cloth as he went. If nothing else he had a wonderful pet that was ever a stolid and faithful companion for him. He burried his face in the kitties neck and smiled. Back in the day being able to have a pet was unthinkable and there had been enough of them on the streets of Zena that he had had to say no to so many other scroungers that his pack had brought home at the time. Now his packs whole livlihood depended on familiars and fish and therefore living things in some way. That was what funded the ranch where he had made his home base and the place was always crawling with critters of all shapes, sizes and species.
