Jalla

GENERAL NOTES:

• Is a God whisper, was raised by the gods Has a special connection and sway with the minor gods that most creatures don’t. Talks to the gods and can assist other creatures to interpret their messages, or to get the gods to stop doing things that are harming a particular land or group of creatures (or the opposite, if a group of creatures is accidentally infringing/harming a God or their territory/possessions)
• Is also a child of okkjuk, and this was why they were abandoned, and PREDOMINANTLY why other creatures are wary/scared of them, it has never met another child of okkjuk, although it is aware they exist, through talking to the gods, just rare. It later meets hyun through Brutus.
• Has a lot of knowledge through talking to the gods, however a lot of the minor gods' minds aren’t particularly put together, are driven by their primal desires, + the gods don’t really communicate with each other that much – most of them are avoidant if not outright antagonistic if they come across each other. Jalla has brought some of the gods to unity however, a unity they have not seen in many years.
• Is fluent in ancient/”Godspeak” because of being raised by gods. Also is particularly adept at forming/writing spells because of this intimate knowledge of Godspeak. Sometimes talks in ancient when by itself.
• Was predominantly raised by  Ye-arha (who they call Yaya, being unable to pronounce his name as a baby. they see ye-arha as their father), but also the lonesome god, Eliza, and the voice-stealing god, Kdanad. Ye-arha is one of the more feral gods, but he mellows considerably around Jalla. Jalla is Ye-arha's most loved thing, apart from his obsession with blue and his fields of sky-lion. He will slow down and think if Jalla desires it of him, is gentle with Jalla. Ye-arha makes sure that Jalla always has a single live sky-lion on them, if they ever need to summon Ye-arha for any reason.

PERSONALITY

• friendly but in a calm way. Not pushy or very bubbly or even super talkative. Slow to act, likes taking every detail into consideration before acting/forming an opinion (but sometimes hesitates too much), believes this is very important and will not be swayed until this is done+stubborn. Wears its heart on its sleeve+blunt, both because it is bad at lying, and it enjoys being honest with others (being dishonest takes too much effort and it’s better to root out creatures who don’t actually like you sooner rather than later it thinks).
• Pretty bad with social cues, and often misinterprets what other creatures mean. It kind of just laughs it off though, even if a bit flustered/awakrd.  Rarely gets truly embarrassed. They’ve kinda accepted that theyre a bit strange, particularly to other creatures, but they like to embrace it. They don’t really expect other creatures to understand why they do what they do/why they act the way they do – and have stopped hoping for connection despite this + stopped beating themself up for how others think of them doing what makes them feel happy and safe. Encourages others to try to have this mindset, at least the part about not letting others opinions bring you down.
•  Nuturing and doting when given the chance + gentle giant. Likes to be needed/feel helpful, assist with tasks or give little gifts unprompted. Physically affectionate, but understands that most creatures find it scary, so it usually bites back its deep yearning to be affectionate, touch starved tbh.
• Can be a bit forgetful/airheaded when it comes to little things, but very dependable+keeps its word when it’s a serious matter. Has a strong sense of honor and responsibility and would feel shameful if they didn’t uphold this.

MAGIC NOTES:

• Decay magician(TENT), but specializes in healing magic + fungi growth. Also knows how to doctor with just basic bandages/herbs and such. Knows special keyaa techniques for healing that are only possible because of 1) child of okkjuk 2) taught by gods/god-touched.
• When it comes to fighting, even though they are not particularly fond of it, they are mostly a physical fighter (and a very formidable one at that). Almost always fighting defensively rather than antagonizing, but not opposed to badly harming who they’re fighting if they deem it necessary/warranted.

Child of Okkjuk powers/abilities:

• Can do minor shifts of physical form ( Can change feet/tail + teeth. cannot change fur color/pattern. rlly good at changing teeth shape/number but only in mouth. The one slightly major shift is can summon 2 feathered wings for flight, just normal wings not keyaa wings)
• Does have extremely heightened senses for detecting keyaa (the best, better than smokey)
• Does have extreme immunity to keyaa overexposure (cannot get scarred, injured, or seriously sick from overexposure. maybe a big woozy/fatigued at best. This comes from being around gods constantly and also being blessed by multiple gods. This is Jalla's best Child of Okkjuk related ability)
