Kavaer, Soulbound Prophet


"What do you want me to say? That I see your future? Of course I do - I'm a prophet, after all. I see the future of anything I gaze upon: good, indifferent, or bad."

"Seeing and changing are two different things. Sometimes I wish I'd never been born."


Name: Kavaer
Race: Naktar (Subrace: Avarir (Sky))
Rank: Soulbound
Gender: Male
Eyes: Ice Blue
Hair: Midnight black
Age: Unknown
Personality

Kavaer is less secretive and more easy going than Zahndar, but finds himself content with the limited company of Zahndar and a very small number of Zahndar's Promised. He'll do anything for the man he's soulbound to, and as such will often find himself the one carrying out important missions or passing orders on to others. While he doesn't precisely mind having to kill others, sometimes the thought crosses his mind of whether or not there could be a different way to solve the problem at hand. Nevertheless, he kills when ordered to, and does so with speed, efficiency, and the same uncaring attitude of Zahndar. Leave the torturing to those Naktar who enjoy it, is his personal belief, and he strives to always give his target a clean death.

He often worries for Zahndar's safety and health when he can't be with the other, and is constantly searching for any tiny bit of information about the other, in an attempt to satisfy his gnawing curiosity about who Zahndar is and where he came from.

Having been freed from the seal that bound both he and his Kaesirl, Kavaer is ready, willing, and almost bloodthirsty for retribution on the world. He feels betrayed by those of his kind who weren't Zahndar's Promised, and at the moment believes that only those who follow Zahndar should be released.

Description

A Naktar of the Sky, Kavaer fits the look well. His midnight black hair, long and often unrestrained, is always gently moving in an unfelt breeze, and often ends up falling partially over his face to obscure one ice blue eye. His eyes, like Zahndar's have a tendency to catch and refract light like a cut jewel does, but his are more muted in tone than the other. He's tall, taller even than Zahndar, but still as slender and ethereal as any member of his race, and his skin is silver pale, but more like ice than moonlight on water, and always catches and reflects light into a shimmering pattern that can mesmerize others. Kavaer's hands are even brighter than the rest of his skin, as they are covered in tiny ice-silver, mirror-like, and razor-edged scales, and his fingers are tipped in scales instead of real nails. As such, his 'nails' are always a specific length, shed regularly instead of growing longer and breaking off, and always have a razor-fine edge.

Like Zahndar, Kavaer wears flowing, lengthy clothes similar to robes, but his preferred colors are icy blues and silver. His robes are unmarked, as he refuses to give out even the sigil for his common name, as it came give others more power over him than he'd wish.

When he wishes it, Kavaer can unfurl massive wings covered in the same ice-silver mirror scales as his hands and ascend into the sky. The wings are folded within his back, and must pass through the skin in order to emerge, a sight which many find disturbing but that, for him, actually isn't painful or even bloody.

History:

Kavaer is a child of two common Naktar, and while he never searched for ways to advance his position, as soon as Zahndar appeared and claimed the title of Kaesirl, Kavaer went about getting himself into the proper position to bind his soul to Zahndar.

The truth is, Kavaer sees more than he should. More than any Naktar should. He's one of the rare Prophets of his kind, and hates the ability with a passion. There's little way for him to simply turn off such an inborn skill, so instead he bound his soul to the other in order to 'share' the ability and thus lessen its impact on him. It was his visions and dreams themselves that actually led him to bind himself to Zahndar, but as he could never foresee beyond that point, he was terrified of what sort of person he would be bound forever to.

But, having bound himself, Kavaer found the result to his liking, and began working willingly with Zahndar in anything the other desired. When Zahndar first noticed the twisting of their visions, Kavaer didn't believe him, but further visions proved the other right. Knowing that, Kavaer threw himself into Zahndar's efforts to make others listen and assist in destroying the Gandiar. He, like Zahndar, watched bitterly as their efforts turned to ash as the Gandiar began stealthily hunting down and binding the more powerful Naktar, and killing the weaker and the children outright.

When they retreated to the mountain stronghold that Zahndar had had created, Kavaer briefly permitted himself to believe that they were safe, but once again watched as the Gandiar slowly took down every Naktar under Zahndar's command, til only he and Zahndar were left alive and free. When the final party arrived, he fought with everything he had, but despite killing the entire group that trekked up to find him, the spell was finished moments before the deaths of the last two, and successfully bound he and Zahndar.

Now, upon having been released at last, he too exalts in the fact that the humans are nearly powerless against them, and intends with all his might to wipe them from the face of the planet as revenge for what happened to his kind. Whether or not Zahndar decides to unleash more Naktar than just those Promised to him matters little to Kavaer, though he would prefer that the other subraces never again see freedom from their own personal cages.
