This nameless amazon grew up in Kalaxor; a country-sized island covered almost entirely by jungle, and populated with numerous tribes of amazon; each tribe with multiple villages and towns of various sizes spanning each of their territories. Each tribe worships a different nature spirit, who collectively form a pantheon that embodies many different aspects of nature. The pantheon isn’t a unified mass; and alliances and opposition form between tribes that reflect relationship these spirits have with each other. Plus, each tribe gains supernatural abilities through their communion with their spirit. The amazonians appear as massive feminine humanoids, but unmistakably do not look human. They are created from the combined cast-off energy of the nature spirits they worship, as such they can’t claim to be directly born from any one spirit, let alone the spirit their tribe worships. The spiritual essence congregates at times, and is attracted to the nearest of any amazon-built altar, where it can form into a baby. Thus; the more territory an amazon tribe controls, the more possible babies they can have. Due to this, amazon children are raised communally without any one parent-figure. Her tribe is the Kar Shatang tribe, which translates to “Armaments of Kar.” Kar, being a deity who presides over poison and venom. Her kind ritualistically eat poison dart frogs, starting with small doses at a young age, and increasing the dosage as they gain resistance, then immunity. Eventually, they start sweating out the poison they consume, and later still gain the ability to produce it naturally. Amongst other tribes, the Kar Shatang tribe has a bad reputation, with the mistaken belief that poison brings only death, and a lack of understanding as to why they would worship that concept. But Kar takes on the twin roles as warrior and protector. Kar’s mythos depicts them granting their venom to snakes, to hunt food and survive, but also providing their protection to frogs who would otherwise perish. In much the same way, the philosophy of the Kar Shatang tribe is to be both a spear and a shield of Kar; thus the tribe’s name. The Kar Shatang tribe is closely allied with the Niktora-Anel tribe, or “Cleaners for the New,” (it sounds less cheesy in their language) a tribe that worships Balas, a spirit that embodies death and also has a bad reputation. However, there is one member of this pantheon who has a bad reputation and has earned it: Norxu, the Antithesis. Kar grants poison for survival and protection. Balas brings death where it is necessary, to create room for new life to grow. But Norxu is the true antithesis of nature, whose goal is to end all life and salt the earths so nothing new may grow. No other spirit is aligned with Norxu. And noone is born into Norxu’s tribe: the amazons who worship them are all outcasts, and deviants, filled with rage against existence and a desire to see it all burn. |
Personality |
---|
Currently, Nameless is silent, brooding, and full of rage. She has spent a few years alone now and hasn’t interacted with many people since then. Her ambitions are put on pause to spend time in BATTLEGROUNDS, and she’s currently internalized the idea that she is permanently marred by her dealing with Norxu and should be shunned. This is not the true Nameless, but rather a Nameless plucked from a really rough state. The real Nameless is boisterous, gregarious, and outgoing to a fault. In the past, she found the time and energy to give hearty laughs even as her health failed her. She hates inconveniencing others, even slightly, and refuses to be taken care of even if it’s hardly any effort for them and a huge effort for her. She is extremely ambitious and driven, her competitive spirit often aggravating for others, but certainly admirable. When frustrated, she lashes out unfairly, and takes her anger out on people who deserve better. Her worst quality is her thick skulled impulsiveness, a complete apathy towards thinking things through. Being forced to sit and consider outcomes and consequences makes her irrationally angry! |
Backstory |
---|
There once was an especially precocious, ambitious, and capricious amazonian child. In her pre-teen years, she joined in with her peers in ritualistically eating poison dart frogs to build up a tolerance and gain Kar’s blessing.Her ambition drove her to be the first amongst them to receive this blessing, in spite of her elders’ warnings and protests. She secretly doubled her portions… and later tripled them. Her tolerance built but her health began to fail. Through sheer determination, she pushed on through, believing that once she received Kar’s blessings, her health would return. She succeeded in her ambition, and became the youngest amazonian in her tribe in generations to receive Kar’s blessings of poisonous sweat and venomous saliva. But it was a hollow victory; even after she stopped eating the dart frogs, her health only continued to deteriorate further. Her arms were shaky, her grip was weak, her body perpetually cold, and soon she became unable to walk… all the while her body’s poisons grew to be the strongest in her tribe, reaching the point even some in the village couldn’t bear to touch her. Everyone in her tribe treated her as family; a daughter, a sibling, an aunt… and never gave up on her, enduring poisons that would kill a normal human in order to help her live and fight against her atrophying body. One fateful day, she noticed a stranger passing through near the borders of the encampment, and called out a greeting to them. They turned to her, and while she could not remember what they looked like, she remembers the dread the visage gave her. That night, a particularly hot and humid one, she found herself unable to sleep. It was not long after that the stranger she saw earlier that day walked in and slowly approached her. She called out to scream but found her voice had failed her. The stranger extended an arm, the color of ash and covered in lesions, and rested it on her chest… and miraculously, the sickly amazon found some of her strength returning. She spent a moment to process this, and in that moment, the stranger left. Her frustrations boiled over; regret over the choices she made, helplessness towards her situation, and furious self-loathing over the burden she put on her kin. She bolted out of bed, grabbing her cloak and tracking the stranger as far as she could, but her temporary resurgence left her quickly, until she had collapsed on the ground just past where she first saw the stranger. Face down in the mud, she heard footsteps approach her; the stranger returned. They crouched down to her. She begged the stranger, to give her her lost health. The stranger finally spoke, agreeing to a trade. “That which you never see” and “that which you never use,” in exchange for her strength and health back… twice over. For the second time in her life, she turned her back on her people, and accepted. Cackling, the stranger lifted the amazon by the hair, until her feet dangled above the ground. They extended razor sharp claws, each half a foot long, and drove each one into the edges of her head and in one swift motion, tore off her face. “That which you never see…” they spoke, before throwing her back to the ground. “And…” they continued, inserting a claw into her heart “That which you never use!” pulling a silvery strand of essence straight out. “But... also that which others see and use all the time! Your face… and your name!” The now nameless amazon lay in the mud for a good while longer. She realized with horror that the spirit spoke truthfully; she couldn’t remember her name! She realize in horror that she made a trade with none other than Norxu, the Antithesis. Their honeyed words and promises a trick, designed to turn people into outcasts, and leaving them no choice but to find a new home amongst their followers. In her heart, she felt they succeeded in doing so. Surely now, after being as huge a burden to her kind as she was, that they’d abandon her, especially as she was now forever tainted by the enemy of all life. She began to wander the jungle, choosing perpetual loneliness over giving Norxu another follower. Her heart was filled with bitter rage, that once again she made a foolish choice, and let herself be exploited at her weakest. Her mood was improved, somewhat, by the fact that Norxu played no tricks in restoring her health. Her strength was indeed restored, two-fold, and while her human eyes, nose, and mouth were gone, she was granted a new, toothy maw, and her sense of hearing was sharpened. It wouldn’t make sense for Norxu to skimp on their blessing; since their intention is to create new followers from angry outcasts, leaving them weak and helpless would be an oversight. What soon brough her comfort was a belief that Norxu may have overshot. Between her hyperpotent poison (now even stronger than before), and her physical strength that could outmatch the greatest of her tribes warriors significantly, she found solace in a new ambition: destroying Norxu and their clan… single-handedly if she must. |
