Khutani Oronir
[edit]
Height: Short (for a male Au Ra) at 6 fulms and 6 ilms (approx. 203cm). Weight: Skinny, with minimal muscle definition, and the beginnings of a paunch he's been gathering over the years. Complexion: Vibrant, deep purple. Notably, it's hard to see blushing or bruises through this skintone. Hair: Black a touch darker than his scales. Eyes: Also purple; though brighter than his skin, more of a 'plum' colour, with lavender limbal rings.
((Note, I choose not to write accents in standard RP because it makes messages hard to read and turns what's meant to be a subtle difference into something incredibly ham-fisted.))

(jan 4, 2018: part 1 uploaded. expect more later™) Background (part 1)
Try as he might to tarry in distant locales, once he came of age, he was forced to compete in the tribe’s traditional bökh tournaments -- a duty that no member of the tribe was able to shirk. It became impossible, then, to lie about his prowess in battle; his lack of strength and skill was out there for all to see. What friends he had made gradually lost their respect for him as he continued to place at the bottom of the ladder, and one day, after yet another particularly one-sided loss, it seemed that the only person still willing to speak to him was his own mother... and only to chastise him for his shortcomings.
He was quite cheerful until the confederacy greeted him at knifepoint; it was clear their dealings with Xaela, so far, were not polite ones. He explained, in his faltering Hingan, that he wanted to cross the sea, and eventually they reached an understanding; they’d take almost everything, bar the clothes on his back, as their price for transport on one of their vessel’s usual patrols the following day, to be closely guarded the entire time. In addition, he was put to cleaning the deck of one of their ships and whatever other errands they could strong-arm him into before the departure; he struggled with these task, having not slept for more than a bell or two in the past two days.
Rumors and Hooks
What I am looking for/interested in:My primary goal with this character is humorous, lighthearted fun. If you want more mature or serious themes, you may want to approach another character instead. However, it's not completely out of the question, so if it's borderline or you have something interesting in mind, please ask.

"#about-khutani" tag for (mostly) IC info. https://open.spotify.com/user/furiianda/playlist/12yk3JYNzVW8ZsaytIh59h - Just for fun Khutani-themed playlist on Spotify. Other StuffSorry I'm not great at biographies and long, winding backstories! I like to keep things short and succinct. (That said, I try to be flexible re: short-post or long-form RP.) I will happily RP on Tumblr or Discord.
