Of Bone and Fire
Of Bone and Fire
Name: Daluayastigi Gender: Male Parentage: Wild Birth Tribe: Seiro N'ahk Tro (roughly translates to: "Godless in Spite") Magics: Bone Arts (Mastered), Fire Arts (Mastered)
Notes: Born into a Tribe that is part of a collective of Numa Tribes that dance with the darker, more sinister, of magic forms. They tempt fate by dabbling in magics that others of their species shy away from; as the magics are viewed as violent and dangerous. There are few outside of these Tribes who practice the darker magics (such as Blood Magics), but not to the same extent as these darker Tribes do.
In order to maintain the use of the more demanding magic he uses, he has given up use of all but Fire Arts in the main spectrum of the Elements (he can no longer use Earthen Arts, Wind Arts, Water Arts). Fire Arts are seen as a hungry magic, and a fury of power-starved flames can open the channels between the worlds of the living and gone. It is through the Fire Arts, and Kagatho Arts, that a Numa is able to create powerful summoning magics and call upon the Serioshei (Powerful entities in the Power Dimension, often called upon by the strong to bargain for greater power).
When he came of age, he was put through the Trials, and with the help of his birthtribe, created a summoning circle to call on the trade. When a Serioshei appears a Numa has only one opportunity to bargain, and accept.
He was gifted with the power of Bone Arts, a form of necromancy magics that allow him to control/manipulate dead things as well as alter/manipulate the bones in others. He can break bones in others without ever having to make physical contact; a deadly power, as he can shatter a skull with intent alone.
But in exchange for this power, each time he uses it, he loses something of himself. Through his use of the Bone Arts he has lost all of his claws, and ended up with some exposed wounds/bones in his own body. When he reanimates something that is freshly dead, there is the cost of blood and flesh that he has to pay himself.
The spiked bone plates he wears on his back, and over his left shoulder, are there as both a warning and in defense.
The Kagatho Arts are something that can only be used in Tribes, as they require the channeling of a large Bloodline to activate. Outside of a Tribe, they are useless, as only the lead pair of a Tribe is in possession of the "blood rites"
