RP Hooks

As a Shiljin, Qala remembers her past life incarnations and thusly has many different avenues into her life.

Background


While Qala is very much the typical Tribeswoman of the Dotharl in that she is a fierce and honorable warrior on the field of battle, she is atypical in that she is one of few that can call themselves Shiljin.

It was once said that to be Shiljin is to be eternal. This is somewhat a misnomer as all Dotharl who die with honor are believed to be rewarded with a return to the plain of existance for a next life. Shiljin truly believe to remember all of their past lives and thus find themselves in a precarious position between a blessing of knowledge and a curse of remembering all pain and loss.

As a Shiljin, Qala prefers to travel the world in order to gather as many new experiences and education that she is able so when she passes on to the next life she will have that much more to bring back to her tribe.

With this belief held firm, others may think her reckless or wild since she has no consequences, but this couldn't be further from the truth. She follows a strict code of honor and will not disobey it for anyone.

As a consequence of so many lifetimes of memory, this Xaela can be found randomly speaking about what past lives have done or may have said in a certain situation. But despite the memories, Qala is still her own person who believes and does things her own way.

Personality & Traits


This Xaela is particularly cross as seemingly all times. Upon her face is often worn a rather agitated or grumpy expression and she treats most everyone with a fairly dour and bland demeanor. The young warrior is especially curt with anyone she doesn't know well but begins to open up more in time. Affection or kindness is buried deep inside the Dotharl visage.

Accompanying this is a good deal of broken language that is thick with her native accent. Because of the cadence of her speech and voice, her words almost always sound sultry but she isn't remotely aware of it.

She tends not to understand jokes very well, taking most things said literally at first until it is pointed out or becomes more obvious that it is meant to be a joke.

Her spear is treated with a certain reverence and she is almost never seen without it, either slung on her back in a custom made holder for the menacing weapon or carried loosely in a hand.

In battle, the woman moves almost like a dancer, her feet sliding nimbly across the ground in twirls and pivots as her spear is twirled around her body like an art form.

RP Hooks


Qala is a "Shiljin" of the Dotharl, which essentially means she is able to remember(or believes she does) the past incarnations of her lives(The Dotharl believe in reincarnation for an honorable death).

She has spoken of the following lives who may be used as ins to speaking with her, familial connections, bad blood, or really anything else that may come from many various people's lives. The doors are pretty much wide open.

Chingis Cotharl(M) - Greatest and wise of her past lives. Quote: "Death is merely the beginning of the next conquest."

Muunokhoi Dotharl(F) - A vicious, brutal dog. She was wild and aggressive and could certainly be described as a blood-thirsty warrior.

Ganzorig Dotharl (M) - Like steel. Courageous and brave. Known to not waver even to his own peril. Qala usually says that the man was a fool.

Chinua Dotharl(F) - Claimed the spear that Qala wields from a Garlean general in a battle over control of the Steppe.
