Name: Yazeed
Race: Geian / Alkidike
Gender: Male
3 Base Traits: Mindful, Candid, Easy going
Personality:
It's always been in Yazeed's nature to care for those around him. A traveler's lifestyle affords no room for mistakes and sometimes the only thing you can rely on are those around you. With that being said he never wanted to be someone others couldn't depend upon, especially those closest to him, so he's worked hard to build a solid reputation for himself. He's a firm believer in meditative techniques to help center oneself and while that sometimes can make him appear lazy Yazeed is far from it. He just isn't in a rush to overexert himself.
As a result Yazeed is also rather blunt. He sees no kindness in lies, no matter how well intentioned they may be, and while sometimes his observations can come off in a humorous light others may find them cruel. To him the only way to grow is to become as honest with oneself as possible and sometimes that means acknowledging the uglier aspects of who you are. It isn't always pretty, rarely allows him to keep friends for long, but Yazeed is content.
Description: Yazeed is a large, hulking mass of a lad. He's very muscular and very clearly takes after his Alkidike mother in size.
Skin Geian with fade. On the darker end
Ears Alk
Hair Something akin to this with a fuller bun (dreaded, of course) and the loose dread around his face. Basically a bun with an undercut. If he could have a few feathers around the hair tie that'd be great. Alk black
Markings Geian cream in color, but styled like his Alk mother. Mix of This and this to match his brother as well (Sabra's posting his quest). I'd like some sort of marking on his antennae and ears as well.
Eyes Geian color - 10th from the left. Alk style.
Eyebrows Geian
Other Antennae
Clothing/Accessories: Inspo Alk colors. Feel free to play around with piercings and accessories (I love surprise piercings).
History:
Born into a polyamorous family, Yazeed was raised with his siblings in the village of Ast. His parents ,Nytarra and Jacek, met Velora while she was visiting Azehra in Chiume. By the time they encountered her the Geian pair were already a few years into their marriage, but the possibility of adding another had crossed their minds many times before. It was a practice that Nytarra’s family had already implemented, but they never expected that connection to be made with an Aishan! At first it was a simple friendship that bloomed between the three then love came shortly after. Although Velora found it odd at first eventually the connection became far too strong to break.
The three traveled across Belrea together, taking odd jobs when possible and generally enjoying one another’s company. Velora’s skill with her blades helped to ward off bandits while Nytarra’s bow covered their flanks and Jacek helped to keep gold flowing as a merchant of rare wares. All in all it just seemed to work, even if it was a little strange to others. Eventually enough time had passed that Velora decided it was time to go back and see her own family. At first she feared her lovers wouldn’t come with her, but they’d already made a pact; they were a unit, partners in this life and the next, so nothing would separate them.
They settled in Ast for a while, so that not only could Velora be closer to her culture, but so they could seek out Aisha’s blessing in having a child. Nytarra and Jacek had tried for years to have a child of their own with little success, but it was Velora’s idea to seek out Aisha. All three wouldn’t be able to go, but if Aisha saw fit then a family could be made.
The first to go was Nytarra and Velora. It felt odd leaving Jacek behind, but he was adamant. To him none of this would be possible without the two of them so who else would be better to show Aisha their worth? Weeks went by without word, but eventually a bloom came to be. A son; a little tanned bundle named Yazeed.
And three years later, Jacek went to Aisha’s side along with Velora and came back with another son. A little wonder named Cathán.
Yazeed adored being a big brother. As much as his parents worried that the spoiled boy wouldn’t take well to sharing the attention he seemed to fall into his role naturally. Even as the years went by he made sure to care for his brother by sharing snacks when money was tight or cuddling close when a nightmare woke him.
Once the boys were of a suitable age the family decided to start traveling again. Those years passed by as a blur to Yazeed, right up until the point when Nytarra became pregnant. He couldn’t understand his parents worry over losing this baby, but he did understand the need to settle again. They spent some time in Sauti while her pregnancy progressed, and finally, when Yazeed was ten years old a sister was born. He made a pact that day with Cathán to do everything in his power to keep her safe.
So he started to train more than ever before! At first his parents were just happy he was doing something besides hovering over the baby, but then it seemed to become something of an obsession. It clearly formed into something of a stress reliever for Yazeed as the years passed. Funds were tight? Train. Fight with his brother? Train. Get into an argument with kids in a local village? Train.
Eventually he grew into a rather bulky teen, but if anything Velora just saw that as a bonus. After all, it would make him a better warrior and that in itself was the biggest blessing from Aisha. He was large and healthy; what more could she ask for?
