ㅤLore BendingㅤㅤWhile I accept some lore bending within reason, breaking it is an instant turn off and rejection
ㅤRP StyleㅤㅤDeep preference for paragraph RP but I am versatile and accommodating, as long as it's not only two words I receive with no effort
ㅤThemesㅤㅤI adore realism in RP and that means that I shall indulge in every aspect when it comes to themes or settings, whilst also loving grounded RP. I certainly prefer long-term connections with more depth and flavour
ㅤImmersionㅤㅤI fully embrace the logic that IC actions have IC consequences, as it is the best way for true character growth
ㅤNo SpoilersㅤㅤSpoilers won't ever be given so if you want to get to know the character, RP it out
ㅤImportant ERP NoteㅤㅤI do not condemn ERP, since we all do it in varying degrees, but if you have an F-List and it is your primary type of RP and what you hunt for, to me that speaks of your priorities and they do not align with mine
ㅤRP TagㅤㅤIf you do not have the RP tag on, I do not consider you as IC and thus won't approach you to RP. This rule works both ways
ㅤCharacter InjuryㅤㅤOpen to character injury, potentially even death, but I kindly ask for such to be discussed OOC beforehand
ㅤIC ≠ OOCㅤㅤMy character is not me, and I am not him; please do not mix the two
ㅤMare / DiscordㅤㅤMy code will only be shared with those I RP with, ideally on a more long-term basis

Personality
Nash'pya is a deeply morose individual, often found lost in his own thoughts, as if the weight of his family and tribe rests solely on his shoulders. Life has shown him few kindnesses, and in return, he wears a constant veil of bitterness, his sharp words and cold demeanor pushing others away. He is a person defined by distance—emotionally closed off, rarely sharing his true feelings or vulnerabilities. Relationships feel like burdens to him, as if connection only serves as a reminder of past aches.The man holds a quiet, lingering distrust toward people, shaped by past experiences that have left him wary of others' motives. He doesn't openly criticize or judge, but he remains distant, often standing on the edges of conversations or brooding quietly in corners, observing rather than engaging. He has learned to rely on his own judgment, keeping others at arm's length to avoid the disappointment that can come with misplaced trust. Though he doesn’t openly show it, he rarely believes anyone acts without an underlying purpose. This cautiousness doesn’t make him outwardly hostile, but it does make him selective about whom he allows into his inner world, preferring solitude or the company of only those few he deems trustworthy.Among the few he deems reliable, is Karishma Khatri, a Thavnairian goldsmith whom he serves as a bodyguard. His loyalty to her runs deep, built not just on a sense of duty, but also on respect. His commitment to her is rooted in a bond of mutual understanding; she values his skill and reliability, while he finds purpose in serving someone whose ambition mirrors his own drive. Though he would never express it openly, his loyalty to her is one of the few things in his life that brings him a sense of pride and fulfillment.Though his exterior remains hardened and distant, the Shetona is deeply protective and fatherly toward his two daughters. Despite his bitterness and emotional withdrawal, he has an unspoken tenderness reserved just for them. His love is quiet and steadfast, expressed through small gestures - whether it's ensuring they are safe, providing for them, or guiding them with the quiet wisdom of someone who has seen the harshest parts of life. He may not show his affection in overt ways, but his actions speak volumes, and he is fiercely committed to their well-being, even if he struggles to connect with them on a deeper emotional level.
Appearance
He exudes a quiet, primal strength, his appearance a testament to his rugged lifestyle and deep connection to his Shetona heritage. He stands tall with a muscular build, his physique shaped by years of hunting Tural Vidraal. He stands at a decent height for a male of his race, with a lean yet muscular build that speaks of agility and strength. His physique is toned, not overly bulky, but strong in a way that suggests endurance and swiftness. His physical presence is imposing without being overwhelming, a reminder that his strength comes not only from his size but from the sharpness of his instincts and the discipline honed over a lifetime of survival.His body is marked with numerous scars, each one telling a story of battles fought in the wild, a reflection of the harsh world he navigates. Tribal tattoos run along his arms and across his back in black ink, intricate and meaningful symbols of his culture. More tattoos adorn his face, bold and striking, enhancing the intensity of his sharp features and giving him an almost feral presence.His long, brown hair is tied loosely in a semi-ponytail, the strands often falling across his face as he moves. Woven into his hair are feathers and colourful beads, another nod to his background, a symbol of his connection to the spirits of the land. His long ears stand tall and alert with a singular emerald earring adorning the left one.Though he is older than most Shetona, this also grants him a youthful appearance, his features remaining strong and vital as if he were still in his prime. His pale brown-hazel eyes are steady and always appearing distant and unfeeling, as though his soul is far removed from the world around him. His face, generally cold and impassive, betrays little emotion, often giving him a detached, almost unreadable quality.
