====== Aaram D'Shiva ====== **Aaram D'Shiva** is a [[orgs:Pah'Shar]] huntsman whose village was attacked by [[atlas:Selcaria]] slavers. Everyone was either killed or turned into slaves, he unfortunately suffered the latter. He was far too dangerous to be a house slave, so he was instead branded upon the forehead and sold into the gladiatorial pits. The pits are no longer a place to kill or be killed - those days had long passed. However, death is always a risk in the arena. Never losing sight of himself, Aaram eventually escaped and fled to the [[atlas:Kingdom of Dakar]]. How he reached the stronghold of the [[orgs:Knights Arcana]] he cannot say, only that he was following a red fox. He was originally assigned the job of mucking stables and pens. One day a Knight-Commander saw him practicing behind the stables and he became a recruit instead. Since he also had a natural spark for magic meant that he could rise high in the ranks. He has risen to become a Knight-Commander and often takes command of any skirmishing units. ===== Capsule ===== | **Occupation** | Knight Arcana | | **Nationality** | [[atlas:Pah]] | | **Spouse** | Atich //deceased// | | **Issue** | Nia (439) //deceased// | | **Father** | Buziba //deceased// | | **Mother** | Totit //deceased// | | **Born** | 411 | | **Religion** | [[orgs:Beast Lords]] | | **Race** | [[creatures:Human]], [[orgs:Pah'Shar]] | ===== Early Life ===== ===== Appearance ===== Aaram has changed much from the wiry hunter he was among his people. The change in both food and activity have given him stronger muscles, but he is still considered quite small by the standards of those around him. He has brown eyes set deep into his face. His skin appears as burnt-copper, which is covered with tattoos and scars from head to toe. What little hair still remains is very dark brown, but he typically shaves clean his pate and leaves only single braid of hair behind his head. The north lands are far colder than his own native [[atlas:Pah]] so he has adapted his clothing. He still prefers browns and greens favored by huntsman, but he keeps it trimmed in fur to remind him of his own clothing from home. On the battlefield he does not wear the heavy metal plates of his fellow knights, but prefers leather with just simple plates around his vitals. ===== Timeline ===== ^ Year ^ Events ^ | 411 | Born | | 422 | Naming ceremony becoming D'Shiva and gaining Red-Tailed Fox spirit | | 427 | Wins Atich in courting contest | | 430 | Has daughter Nia by Atich | | 439 | Village attacked, taken prisoner along with a few others | | 442 | Becomes celebrated gladiator in [[atlas:Republic of Irill]] | | 445 | Escapes into the [[atlas:Kingdom of Dakar]] | | 452 | Joins the [[orgs:Knights Arcana]] after being led there by a red-tailed fox | | 456 | Rises to the rank of Knight-Commander | {{tag>pc knights_arcana human}}
