Beyond Nirvana - The God Eater Calamity

@Kumbaris
The samurai, in all of his arrogance and out of the fog of war, would not notice only upon impact, the sudden slug of hot lead that hit him in the back of the head. The war god would be left dazed and confused, only able to turn his head to the direction of the impact to notice a figure standing before a brilliantly lit portal. The tall female figure was obscured partially by the luminous apparition, the woman stood tall, her ears distinctively pointed and her skin a dark, rich black, paired with white hair, seeming to shimmer in the light. Her cloak swayed gently as she twisted the barrel of her gun open, ejecting smoking casings that left a small clang as they hit the ground. In an instant, she leaped into the air, seeming to disappear as the portal behind her faded into thin air.

The samurai glanced upward, looking for his quarry, only to be met with a hard foot to the face as the woman descended upon him. The woman locked eyes with Mitsuko, time seemingly stopping as their gazes met. She then leaped back to her feet as the samurai layed upon the ground stunned and dazed as she reached under her cloak and retrieved a sword from under her cloak, swinging it down harshly as their blades met in a flash of sparks, and electricity discharged from the blade.

The woman pulled her sword back, giving time for the samurai to get back onto his feet.

Tsi Hijum

The newcomer quickly shifted into her stance, advancing upon the samurai quickly, their blades clashing against each other as they exchanged blows. Tsi pushed hard against the samurai, knocking him back as she kicked him out from under his feet, knocking him back onto the ground as she swung once more, the samurai turning to avoid the attack as he returned a kick of his own, knocking the elf back as she once more returned to her stance. Tsi muttered something under her breath as she returned to her stance, eying her opponent carefully as she stepped forward, blades once again meeting in a flash. The samurai, however, noticed a weakness in her stance. Pushing forward, he struck back, putting pressure onto the elf, forcing her down onto her knee, violent blow after blow as Tsi blocked with her sword. The elf's gaze once again met that of the girl before her, as if asking for aid as she kept the advancing enemy at bay.

Beyond Nirvana - The God Eater Calamity

Tsi

Name: Tsi Hijum (Alun name, Birthname); Azhdasagath [She who Judges by Fire] (Shadhini name)

Age: 55

Gender: Female

Race: Alun:
The Alun are a clan/culture that fit within the race of elves, noted for their comparatively long lifespans relative to humans, and their distinct long ears, fair skin and hair, and lack of significant sexual dimorphism, with both sexes appearing quite "feminine" by human standards. Elves, including the Alun, were once the dominant race in their homeland of Alath, however they were later enslaved en mass by humanity following their migration into continent of Alath. While Humans, Elves, and the various "orc" peoples come from a common ancestor, Humans and Elves have diverged far enough that they can no longer reproduce together (while conversely, Elves and Orcs are still closely related enough that they can produce viable hybrid offspring, and mixed populations are quite common in the border areas between the two races). She still looks quite young by human standards, resembling a 30 or 40 year old human woman in age.

The Alun were historically a semi-nomadic people who lived in a transition zone between the deep forests of Alath and the steppe. The ancestors of the Alun arrived via coast as transplants from a forest dwelling population by boat, before arriving in the steppe. By the time of contact with humans, the Alun were an influential culture in the region, living as semi-nomadic horticulturalist and pastoralists, transitioning between forest gardens and foraging in the spring and summer, before leaving to return to the steppe to raise herd animals in the autumn and winter. Having learned the art of ironworking from the Orcish tribes, and with a steady influx of iron from them, the Alun held a position of influence over the less militarily advanced elf tribes. This changed when humans arrived, seeking to settle a newly discovered continent, they came with guns and disease to subjugate and conquer the Elves. The Alun failed to maintain their independence and were subjugated by the humans. Since then, their culture has been one of perpetual slavery.

Appearance: Tsi is approximately 7 feet tall, slightly taller than the average member of her people, in part due to her liberation from chattel slavery at a relatively young age. She has very pale skin, almost translucent to the point that her veins can be seen as blue markings under her skin. Through years of warfare, her body is heavily scarred. Her back is particularly heavily scarred due to being flayed as a punishment in the Slave Revolt. Her eyes are a piercing dark blue, a trait common in cultures such as the Alun who hail from the south of the continent. Reflecting her life among and assimilation into the Shadhin orcs, Tsi wears her hair in the style of a traditional Orcish warrior, and has her face tattooed in the tradition of Shadhin war leaders.

Home World: Atosh: Atosh is a world divided. The center of the world is dominated by a vast desert, with the equator being uncrossable due to the heat of the equator being uncrossable for any living thing. The south of the world is inhabited by three major races: Humans, Elves, and Orcs. What lies across the terminator line is unknown to anyone in the south.

Patron Deity: Uzhdifal - The Orcish god of Law, Kingship, Domination, Vengeance and Blood Feuds. Uzhdifal is not a god worshiped by the Orcish commoner, but a deity of royalty and statesmanship. He is also the patron of vengeance and blood feuds, reflecting their centrality to the Orcish clans and their violent periods of succession. A Pan-Orcish deity, many leaders of clans and hordes claim descent from Uzhdifal. Tsi was inducted into his cult when she was declared King Sanoth's personal retainer. She became a devoted worshiper, working on his behalf to spread the rule of King Sanoth, and to invoke her vengeance upon humans.

Champion’s Blessing: Falling Star: Shortly before of the taking of the human city of Steryx, it was though that the city was untakeable by virtue of it's mighty walls. During the seige of the city, a great meteorite fell from the night sky, striking the city, crumbling its walls and collapsing the encampments that the defending army was staying in, killing a large portion of the city's army. After the battle, Tsi ordered the meteorite to be recovered and brought to her. Upon the discovery that the meteorite was made of iron, Tsi ordered that it be taken to the greatest smith among the orcs, and turned into a weapon. The meteorite was processed into steel, and fashioned into a mighty sword. This sword, now known as the Falling Star, was imbued with the power of the skies, producing strikes that were backed with electric force, as well as the ability to create powerful shockwaves with it's strikes, and to discharge electricity that can strike enemies from a distance with the power of lightning.

Inventory:

Qafunazhdasirath: Derived from the Shadhini words qafun (gunpowder), azhda (fire), and sirath (lance), the qafunazhdasirath is a firearm developed by the Orcish peoples in response to conflict with humans. Humans arrived to Alath with firearms, something that the Orcs quickly adopted for themselves. The Qafunazhdasirath is a an advantage over the earlier lunun (a loanword from the language of the humans), which operated on the basis of a simple matchlock principle. The Qafunazhdasirath makes use of an 8 chambered revolver system and the ability of its user to be magically trained, capable of producing a means of ignition inside the weapon, this removing the need for reloading between shots. The barrels remain unrifled, meaning that the shots are lacking in accuracy, but the quickness between shots makes up for this discrepancy.

Healing Herbs: After years as a war leader, Tsi has become quite familiar with battlefield first aid, and keeps with her basic painkilling herbs and drugs, as well as anticoagulants, bronchodilators, and tranquillizers.

Magic: Tsi has been trained in basic magic by the shamaness of her tribe. She is able to create basic bursts of fire, and able to shield herself with good skill using wards. Using the Falling Star, she is able to create powerful bursts of lighting and electricity, and absorb electric attacks.

Skills: Tsi is known for being extremely charismatic, and has excellent speaking ability, able to rally many to her cause with a few simple words. She has literally command armies and stood against empires. She is extremely skilled at swordsmanship and gunnery. In addition, her presence is quite commanding, being able to render those with weak constitutions to simply cave into her by her presence alone. After a lifetime full of beatings, torture of every conceivable nature, and battlefield combat, she is in possession of an extremely high pain tolerance, and shows great fortitude in the face of danger and death. She does, however, rely on shielding and simply tanking attacks from her enemies. She has been left permanently crippled in her left leg following a gunshot wound in her lower thigh near her knee, leaving her with a distinctive limp, thus rendering superior speed and agility unattainable to her.

Personality: She is best described as cold and stoic. Years of traumatic and brutal fighting has left her emotionally broken and stunted. This also manifests in at times inappropriate and immature outbursts of frustration, often accompanied by acts of extreme cruelty against those who upset her.

History: Tsi was born in the Kingdom of Arrow, to an enslaved family. She was raised by her father, Hijum, her mother having been sold shortly after her birth. Tsi worked initially as a laborer, before she was promoted to become a guard for the villa she worked for. The villa belonged to a local aristocrat, and after a visit, Tsi caught his eye as a particularly impressive slave, being quite taller and bigger than her fellow slaves. At age 16, she was purchased by this governer and assigned to his team of personal bodyguards.

After 5 years in service, she had come to grow in hatred for her new master and all things related to humanity. She and her fellow guards came to the decision to not only kill their master, but to seize his territories and create a free state for the Alun and other elves. The plan went off without much issues. The slaves slaughtered the governor and his family with little mercy, and seized his lands, encouraging all enslaved elves to rise up with them. The rebellion lasted about a week. Before the armies of the Kingdom were able to force the slaves into surrender. It was in this conflict that Tsi recieved the bullet wound to her leg that would leave her with a permanent limp. For their actions, the leaders of the rebellion were killed, while the other lower ranking guards would be made examples of. Tsi and her fellow guards were to be flayed and sent into exile in the steppe. Having been captured, Tsi was flayed on her back and salted, before she and those who survived the flashings were sold off as payments for foreign debts.

Tsi in particular was sold off to an up and comming Orcish warlord named Sanoth. Sanoth was in the king of the Shadhin, a relatively powerful equestrian tribe that had made a name for themselves by their skill at mounted gunnery. A peace treaty had just been reached with Sanoth and he and was given slaves as a part of the agreement.

When she was brought before Sanoth, he was quite impressed with her size, and asked her about her background. Upon hearing of her history as a soldier, and her history and falling out with the Kingdom of Arro, sought to exploit her desire for vengeance. He deemed her a slave-warrior, and assigned her as a commander over a squadron on lower soldiers.

Tsi would prove her worth when Sanoth decided to wage war against a fellow Orc tribe. Tsi observed the disorganization of the Shadhin armies and sought to improve them with tactics she had learned from Arro and her fellow guards, many of whom were former soldiers themselves, to work with them to improve their tactics. In what would otherwise be a costly battle, the forces lead by Tsi prevailed greatly. Throughout the war, the tactics that were taught caused Tsi to be exceptionally successful, and Sanoth was so impressed, that he appointed her to be his personal slave, and to lead his armies. After various conquests of rival Orcish tribes, Sanoth was critically injured and left in a vegetative state, leaving Tsi in full control of all of the armies of the Shadhin.

Feeling the power available to her, Tsi began an invasion of Arro. The fierce Orcish soldiers under her command burned everything in their path, putting anyone or anything that got in their way to the sword. The forces of Tsi tore to pieces what was once the most powerful human empire on the continent. Tsi put every city to ruins, taking their riches and furnishing the capital camp of the Shadhin.

Following the destruction of Arro, Tsi ruled as as a defacto queen in the regency of Sanoth for 5 years before his death, and backed his eldest son. This was contested by Sanoths younger son, who arranged for Tsi to be killed. During her prayer to the God Uzhdifal, she was shot in the back of the head.

While this would normally be the end of her story. However, at the last second, she was miraculously saved by the god Uzhdifal. She was offered the chance to become his champion, however, much like her life, she would act as his slave, and work though him. She is, however, believed by the Orcs to be dead.

Extra/Notes: given her history, Tsi has an intense dislike and distrust of humans, and fondness and respect for orcs.

Vigil of the Faithful (Anime-Inspired Exorcist RP)

Arriving on the scene were a pair who quickly assessed the situation in front of them.

"Not a very nice first impression of America," the man said, pulling a cigarette out of his jacket pocket and placing it up to his lips nonchalantly

The other of the pair, a young woman in a pink headscarf grimaced at the situation in front of her. No matter how many times she saw it, these scenes never quite got easier to handle. "What's the plan, Daniyal?"

Taking a drag, the man pointed his finger around the battlefield. "I'm probably not going to need any backup for this one. Get those people out of here, I'll make my way over to the vampires over there." Daniyal stretched slightly before holding his hand out towards the woman, "Mossberg, please.". As the woman handed over the shotgun, Daniyal tossed the cigarette onto the ground, stamping it out. "God be with you, Rahmah."

Rahmah nodded in reply, "And with you, Daniyal.".

With that the two were off. Daniyal made a direct line over towards the lesser vampires. Rushing into a ghoul, he turned his shotgun over, bashing the butt of the gun into the ghoul's head, smashing it like a pumpkin. Losing no speed, he made his way over to the lesser vampires.

"Bismillahi ar-Rahmani ar-Raheem..." firing off a slug directly under the vampire's chin, pumping the next round into the barrel as the creature slumped unceremoniously to the ground. Quickly he turned around as another of the creatures lunged forward, only for Daniyal to block the vampires' lunge with his gun. He quickly pushed the vampire back, unloading one slug and then another into the creature's chest.

"Two down, one to go,"

---

Meanwhile, Rahmah was doing her best to corral the fleeing civilians to safety. "This way, move!" she shouted as she lead the fleeing civilians away, tossing a collection of fu back behind them. A couple of unfortunate ghouls made the mistake to step on the fu, only to immediately catch fire and burn away into ashes. Picking off a few rats with her pistol, Rahmah looked back to see how Daniyal was faring.

Daniyal Sitepu

Persatuan Persaudaraan Dukun

Aceh Division

	NAME: Daniyal Sitepu ______________ AGE: 33 ______________ DATE OF BIRTH: July - 22 - 1939 ______________ FAITH: Islam ______________ NATIONALITY: Indonesian; of mixed Malay, Thai, and Dutch ancestry ______________

PERSONALITY

The man known as Daniyal Sitepu was born in Aceh, Indonesia, under the name Daniël van Zijl. As a child, Daniyal was always quite sickly, which lead to him favoring activities such as reading over the more physical activities of his peers. Following the Indonesian War of Independence, Daniyal's father abandoned his family and fled to the Netherlands. Due to his abandonment, and the growing public distain for anything Dutch, Daniyal's mother changed his name to an Indonesian spelling and adopted the surname Sitepu, after her family's ancestral clan. As a child, Daniyal achieved the feat of becoming an hafiz, one who has memorized the entire Qur'an, as well as an avid student of all topics related to Islam. As a teenager, Daniyal came in contact with a local dukun, a type of shamanic cleric found in Indonesian and Malaysian folk religion, and became his apprentance, learning the ways of the shaman, and how to root out malicious jinn and other unpleasant spirits. Showing promise, Daniyal was inducted into the Brotherhood of Dukun, and was sent out to deal with jinn and demons plaguing the people of Aceh. Since then, Daniyal has achieved a reputation for being an excellent and efficient hunter, being active in not only Sumatra, but taking work for the Muslim community in nearby Malaysia, Singapore, and Southern Thailand, even having a few connections to the Muslim community in Mainland China through the local southeast Asian Chinese communities. He has also done a handful of jobs in the Netherlands for the Indonesian immigrant community when the situation calls for a particularly skilled hunter.

Daniyal is notorious among his fellow hunters and the population at large for his rather jovial and careless personality. No stranger to the trials of being a hunter, Daniyal tries to decompress and destress himself as much as possible. He prefers a quick and easy solution to any problems that may come up on his travels, but is also no stranger to violence, and will not hesitate to make use of his weapons when the situation calls for it. However, when he is not working, Daniyal is known for being quite a jolly character, chatting freely with his clients and anyone else he comes across in his line of work. Some Dukun have even suggested that Daniyal has developed friendships with and keeps in contact with Jinn that he has come across in his work, though he would deny this.

EQUIPMENT

Al-Qur'an - While Daniyal has memorized the Qur'an, he still keeps a copy with him, in case it need be brought out against unbelieving and malicious jinn.

Tawiz - A type of Islamic amulet, good at keeping malicious spirits away from you while you pick them off.

Keris - An iconic weapon of the Malay archipelago, Daniyal carries one that has been blessed by its use by a Muslim saint from long ago. The weapon is quite effective against malicious entities

Mossberg 500 - The Dutch left many things in Indonesia due to colonialism. Not all of them good, but a connection to the Netherlands has left Daniyal in possession of a Dutch pump action shotgun that is good for taking out all sorts of targets. Daniyal uses specially crafted slugs that are capable of even taking out jinn.

M1 Garand - Another Dutch firearm, good for picking off targets at a distance.

CAPACITY
^{______________}

Daniyal has trained to have the mental fortitude to handle most anything that gets to him. He is, however, only human, and is stricken by vices that interfere with this work, such as his constant womanizing. Daniyal is, however, very capable in his work, and has never met with a jinn that has been able to match him toe to toe.

Daniyal prefers to act with precision, leaving as little impact as possible with his work, as if he were a surgeon removing the problem with as much precision and accuracy as possible while leaving as little collateral damage as possible.

Daniyal is also a proficient speaker of Indonesian, Dutch (his Native language), French, English, and Arabic. He also has a decent command of the Mandarin and Hokkien languages from his work with the Chinese communities.

Rahmah Deng

Persatuan Persaudaraan Dukun

Aceh Division

	NAME: Rahmah Deng ______________ AGE: 23 ______________ DATE OF BIRTH: January - 15 - 1949 ______________ FAITH: Folk Islam, influenced by Chinese folk religion and Taoism ______________ NATIONALITY: Indonesian, Chinese ethnicity ______________

PERSONALITY
^{______________}

Rahmah Deng was born in the Dutch East Indies in the city of Batavia, soon to be Jakarta, born in the final year of Dutch control of Indonesia. She came from an upper middle-class family in Java of Chinese origins. While her early life was devoid of much in the way of interesting events, her life took a sudden turn in 1965, she and her parents were attacked by a penanggalan, a kind of nocturnal vampiric entity native to Southeast Asia. While her parents did not survive the encounter, she was saved by intervention by two hunters who were in the area at the time, the elite Sheikh Ibrahim Joko, and his apprentice Daniyal Sitepu. After the encounter, Rahmah insisted on joining with the two hunters and helping to put an end to these creatures. Ibrahim assigned Daniyal to take on the training of Rahmah. He would become her sole mentor after Sheikh Ibrahim's death in 1967.

If there is one way to describe Rahmah's personality,it is uncertain. A relative newcomer to hunting, she has been Daniyal's apprentice for 7 years, but remains insecure about her abilities or potential as a hunter. She compensates for her internal insecurities with a very fiery and pugnacious presentation: very assertive and quick to take offense.

Rahmah has a very perfectionist attitude towards her work, something that runs contrary to Daniyal, and something that often clashes with his own laissez-faire approach to life. Nevertheless, she and Daniyal are quite close, with Daniyal seeing her as something like a younger sister, and Rahmah seeing Daniyal as a kind of father figure.

Rahmah's family are relatively recent converts to Islam, with her grandfather being the first to adopt the local religion. However, her family and personal practice maintains practices from traditional Chinese folk religion. Daniyal has been tolerant of her foreign practices, though he has resisted attempts by Rahmah to adopt them himself.

EQUIPMENT
^{______________}

• 1911-A1 FS - Rahmah's general use handgun. Was a gift from Sheikh Ibrahim.
• Winchester Model 1200 - Much like her mentor, Rahmah makes use if a pump action shotgun. Whereas Daniyal makes use of his shotgun for his main weapon, Rahmah is more reserved in her applications of the weapon.
• Machete - Rahmah carries a machete for the purposes of close combat. Hers has been plated with silver to make it more effective against the spiritually impure.
• Zamzam water - Water from the sacred springs of Mecca. Acts like holy water for the purposes of purification and repelling the malevolent.
• Taweez - a form of holy amulet containing verses of the Quran worn for protection
• Fu - Fu are special talismans in Chinese folk religion. Rahmah uses them for the purpose of sealing and protection.

CAPACITY
^{______________}

With her type A personality and perfectionism, Rahmah is very well organized, often acting as a counterweight to Daniyal's relaxed attitude. She mostly plays support to Daniyal in combat, working for logistical and defensive roles such as crafting fu for the purposes of sealing demons. Much like Daniyal, she is multilingual, speaking Hokkien, Indonesian, Dutch, English and Mandarin fluently. She also has decent command of French and Arabic. Unlike Daniyal, who often lacks the initiative to negotiate, Rahmah is a skilled negotiator and bargainer, consistently haggling and working out favorable circumstances for travel and purchasing on their travels together.

Rahmah

Aceh Division

	NAME: Rahmah Deng ______________ AGE: 23 ______________ DATE OF BIRTH: January - 15 - 1949 ______________ FAITH: Folk Islam, influenced by Chinese folk religion and Taoism ______________ NATIONALITY: Indonesian, Chinese ethnicity ______________

PERSONALITY
^{______________}

Rahmah Deng was born in the Dutch East Indies in the city of Batavia, soon to be Jakarta, born in the final year of Dutch control of Indonesia. She came from an upper middle-class family in Java of Chinese origins. While her early life was devoid of much in the way of interesting events, her life took a sudden turn in 1965, she and her parents were attacked by a penanggalan, a kind of nocturnal vampiric entity native to Southeast Asia. While her parents did not survive the encounter, she was saved by intervention by two hunters who were in the area at the time, the legendary Sheikh Ibrahim Joko, and his apprentice Daniyal Sitepu. After the encounter, Rahmah insisted on joining with the two hunters and helping to put an end to these creatures. Ibrahim assigned Daniyal to take on the training of Rahmah. He would become her sole mentor after Sheikh Ibrahim's death in 1967.

If there is one way to describe Rahmah's personality,it is uncertain. A relative newcomer to hunting, she has been Daniyal's apprentice for 7 years, but remains insecure about her abilities or potential as a hunter. She compensates for her internal insecurities with a very fiery and pugnacious presentation: very assertive and quick to take offense.

Rahmah has a very perfectionist attitude towards her work, something that runs contrary to Daniyal, and something that often clashes with his own laissez-faire approach to life. Nevertheless, she and Daniyal are quite close, with Daniyal seeing her as something like a younger sister, and Rahmah seeing Daniyal as a kind of father figure.

Rahmah's family are relatively recent converts to Islam, with her grandfather being the first to adopt the local religion. However, her family and personal practice maintains practices from traditional Chinese folk religion. Daniyal has been tolerant of her foreign practices, though he has resisted attempts by Rahmah to adopt them himself.

EQUIPMENT
^{______________}

• 1911-A1 FS - Rahmah's general use handgun. Was a gift from Sheikh Ibrahim.
• Winchester Model 1200 - Much like her mentor, Rahmah makes use if a pump action shotgun. Whereas Daniyal makes use of his shotgun for his main weapon, Rahmah is more reserved in her applications of the weapon.
• Machete - Rahmah carries a machete for the purposes of close combat. Hers has been plated with silver to make it more effective against the spiritually impure.
• Zamzam water - Water from the sacred springs of Mecca. Acts like holy water for the purposes of purification and repelling the malevolent.
• Taweez - a form of holy amulet containing verses of the Quran worn for protection
• Fu - Fu are special talismans in Chinese folk religion. Rahmah uses them for the purpose of sealing and protection.

CAPACITY
^{______________}

With her type A personality and perfectionism, Rahmah is very well organized, often acting as a counterweight to Daniyal's relaxed attitude. She mostly plays support to Daniyal in combat, working for logistical and defensive roles such as crafting fu for the purposes of sealing demons. Much like Daniyal, she is multilingual, speaking Hokkien, Indonesian, Dutch, English and Mandarin fluently. She also has decent command of French and Arabic. Unlike Daniyal, who often lacks the initiative to negotiate, Rahmah is a skilled negotiator and bargainer, consistently haggling and working out favorable circumstances for travel and purchasing on their travels together.

Oh man. Tsi is going to have a field day with Mitsuko. I can already feel the rage in her.

@Kumbaris

My whole idea behind Tsi was basically "What if Tamerlane worshiped Molag Bal?", so the idea of her interacting with a Japanese gyaru is hilarious and I can't wait to see it.

That said, I could see some unlikely bonding between them given both of them basically come from the dregs of their respective societies and were born as nobodies

Gods of the Multiverse

Tsi

Name: Tsi Hijum (Alun name, Birthname); Azhdasagath [She who Judges by Fire] (Shadhini name)

Age: 55

Gender: Female

Race: Alun:
The Alun are a clan/culture that fit within the race of elves, noted for their comparatively long lifespans relative to humans, and their distinct long ears, fair skin and hair, and lack of significant sexual dimorphism, with both sexes appearing quite "feminine" by human standards. Elves, including the Alun, were once the dominant race in their homeland of Alath, however they were later enslaved en mass by humanity following their migration into continent of Alath. While Humans, Elves, and the various "orc" peoples come from a common ancestor, Humans and Elves have diverged far enough that they can no longer reproduce together (while conversely, Elves and Orcs are still closely related enough that they can produce viable hybrid offspring, and mixed populations are quite common in the border areas between the two races). She still looks quite young by human standards, resembling a 30 or 40 year old human woman in age.

The Alun were historically a semi-nomadic people who lived in a transition zone between the deep forests of Alath and the steppe. The ancestors of the Alun arrived via coast as transplants from a forest dwelling population by boat, before arriving in the steppe. By the time of contact with humans, the Alun were an influential culture in the region, living as semi-nomadic horticulturalist and pastoralists, transitioning between forest gardens and foraging in the spring and summer, before leaving to return to the steppe to raise herd animals in the autumn and winter. Having learned the art of ironworking from the Orcish tribes, and with a steady influx of iron from them, the Alun held a position of influence over the less militarily advanced elf tribes. This changed when humans arrived, seeking to settle a newly discovered continent, they came with guns and disease to subjugate and conquer the Elves. The Alun failed to maintain their independence and were subjugated by the humans. Since then, their culture has been one of perpetual slavery.

Appearance: Tsi is approximately 7 feet tall, slightly taller than the average member of her people, in part due to her liberation from chattel slavery at a relatively young age. She has very pale skin, almost translucent to the point that her veins can be seen as blue markings under her skin. Through years of warfare, her body is heavily scarred. Her back is particularly heavily scarred due to being flayed as a punishment in the Slave Revolt. Her eyes are a piercing dark blue, a trait common in cultures such as the Alun who hail from the south of the continent. Reflecting her life among and assimilation into the Shadhin orcs, Tsi wears her hair in the style of a traditional Orcish warrior, and has her face tattooed in the tradition of Shadhin war leaders.

Home World: Atosh: Atosh is a world divided. The center of the world is dominated by a vast desert, with the equator being uncrossable due to the heat of the equator being uncrossable for any living thing. The south of the world is inhabited by three major races: Humans, Elves, and Orcs. What lies across the terminator line is unknown to anyone in the south.

Patron Deity: Uzhdifal - The Orcish god of Law, Kingship, Domination, Vengeance and Blood Feuds. Uzhdifal is not a god worshiped by the Orcish commoner, but a deity of royalty and statesmanship. He is also the patron of vengeance and blood feuds, reflecting their centrality to the Orcish clans and their violent periods of succession. A Pan-Orcish deity, many leaders of clans and hordes claim descent from Uzhdifal. Tsi was inducted into his cult when she was declared King Sanoth's personal retainer. She became a devoted worshiper, working on his behalf to spread the rule of King Sanoth, and to invoke her vengeance upon humans.

Champion’s Blessing: Falling Star: Shortly before of the taking of the human city of Steryx, it was though that the city was untakeable by virtue of it's mighty walls. During the seige of the city, a great meteorite fell from the night sky, striking the city, crumbling its walls and collapsing the encampments that the defending army was staying in, killing a large portion of the city's army. After the battle, Tsi ordered the meteorite to be recovered and brought to her. Upon the discovery that the meteorite was made of iron, Tsi ordered that it be taken to the greatest smith among the orcs, and turned into a weapon. The meteorite was processed into steel, and fashioned into a mighty sword. This sword, now known as the Falling Star, was imbued with the power of the skies, producing strikes that were backed with electric force, as well as the ability to create powerful shockwaves with it's strikes, and to discharge electricity that can strike enemies from a distance with the power of lightning.

Inventory:

Qafunazhdasirath: Derived from the Shadhini words qafun (gunpowder), azhda (fire), and sirath (lance), the qafunazhdasirath is a firearm developed by the Orcish peoples in response to conflict with humans. Humans arrived to Alath with firearms, something that the Orcs quickly adopted for themselves. The Qafunazhdasirath is a an advantage over the earlier lunun (a loanword from the language of the humans), which operated on the basis of a simple matchlock principle. The Qafunazhdasirath makes use of an 8 chambered revolver system and the ability of its user to be magically trained, capable of producing a means of ignition inside the weapon, this removing the need for reloading between shots. The barrels remain unrifled, meaning that the shots are lacking in accuracy, but the quickness between shots makes up for this discrepancy.

Healing Herbs: After years as a war leader, Tsi has become quite familiar with battlefield first aid, and keeps with her basic painkilling herbs and drugs, as well as anticoagulants, bronchodilators, and tranquillizers.

Magic: Tsi has been trained in basic magic by the shamaness of her tribe. She is able to create basic bursts of fire, and able to shield herself with good skill using wards. Using the Falling Star, she is able to create powerful bursts of lighting and electricity, and absorb electric attacks.

Skills: Tsi is known for being extremely charismatic, and has excellent speaking ability, able to rally many to her cause with a few simple words. She has literally command armies and stood against empires. She is extremely skilled at swordsmanship and gunnery. In addition, her presence is quite commanding, being able to render those with weak constitutions to simply cave into her by her presence alone. After a lifetime full of beatings, torture of every conceivable nature, and battlefield combat, she is in possession of an extremely high pain tolerance, and shows great fortitude in the face of danger and death. She does, however, rely on shielding and simply tanking attacks from her enemies. She has been left permanently crippled in her left leg following a gunshot wound in her lower thigh near her knee, leaving her with a distinctive limp, thus rendering superior speed and agility unattainable to her.

Personality: She is best described as cold and stoic. Years of traumatic and brutal fighting has left her emotionally broken and stunted. This also manifests in at times inappropriate and immature outbursts of frustration, often accompanied by acts of extreme cruelty against those who upset her.

History: Tsi was born in the Kingdom of Arrow, to an enslaved family. She was raised by her father, Hijum, her mother having been sold shortly after her birth. Tsi worked initially as a laborer, before she was promoted to become a guard for the villa she worked for. The villa belonged to a local aristocrat, and after a visit, Tsi caught his eye as a particularly impressive slave, being quite taller and bigger than her fellow slaves. At age 16, she was purchased by this governer and assigned to his team of personal bodyguards.

After 5 years in service, she had come to grow in hatred for her new master and all things related to humanity. She and her fellow guards came to the decision to not only kill their master, but to seize his territories and create a free state for the Alun and other elves. The plan went off without much issues. The slaves slaughtered the governor and his family with little mercy, and seized his lands, encouraging all enslaved elves to rise up with them. The rebellion lasted about a week. Before the armies of the Kingdom were able to force the slaves into surrender. It was in this conflict that Tsi recieved the bullet wound to her leg that would leave her with a permanent limp. For their actions, the leaders of the rebellion were killed, while the other lower ranking guards would be made examples of. Tsi and her fellow guards were to be flayed and sent into exile in the steppe. Having been captured, Tsi was flayed on her back and salted, before she and those who survived the flashings were sold off as payments for foreign debts.

Tsi in particular was sold off to an up and comming Orcish warlord named Sanoth. Sanoth was in the king of the Shadhin, a relatively powerful equestrian tribe that had made a name for themselves by their skill at mounted gunnery. A peace treaty had just been reached with Sanoth and he and was given slaves as a part of the agreement.

When she was brought before Sanoth, he was quite impressed with her size, and asked her about her background. Upon hearing of her history as a soldier, and her history and falling out with the Kingdom of Arro, sought to exploit her desire for vengeance. He deemed her a slave-warrior, and assigned her as a commander over a squadron on lower soldiers.

Tsi would prove her worth when Sanoth decided to wage war against a fellow Orc tribe. Tsi observed the disorganization of the Shadhin armies and sought to improve them with tactics she had learned from Arro and her fellow guards, many of whom were former soldiers themselves, to work with them to improve their tactics. In what would otherwise be a costly battle, the forces lead by Tsi prevailed greatly. Throughout the war, the tactics that were taught caused Tsi to be exceptionally successful, and Sanoth was so impressed, that he appointed her to be his personal slave, and to lead his armies. After various conquests of rival Orcish tribes, Sanoth was critically injured and left in a vegetative state, leaving Tsi in full control of all of the armies of the Shadhin.

Feeling the power available to her, Tsi began an invasion of Arro. The fierce Orcish soldiers under her command burned everything in their path, putting anyone or anything that got in their way to the sword. The forces of Tsi tore to pieces what was once the most powerful human empire on the continent. Tsi put every city to ruins, taking their riches and furnishing the capital camp of the Shadhin.

Following the destruction of Arro, Tsi ruled as as a defacto queen in the regency of Sanoth for 5 years before his death, and backed his eldest son. This was contested by Sanoths younger son, who arranged for Tsi to be killed. During her prayer to the God Uzhdifal, she was shot in the back of the head.

While this would normally be the end of her story. However, at the last second, she was miraculously saved by the god Uzhdifal. She was offered the chance to become his champion, however, much like her life, she would act as his slave, and work though him. She is, however, believed by the Orcs to be dead.

Extra/Notes: given her history, Tsi has an intense dislike and distrust of humans, and fondness and respect for orcs.

	NAME: Daniyal Sitepu ______________ AGE: 33 ______________ DATE OF BIRTH: July - 22 - 1939 ______________ FAITH: Islam ______________ NATIONALITY: Indonesian; of mixed Malay, Thai, and Dutch ancestry ______________

PERSONALITY

The man known as Daniyal Sitepu was born in Aceh, Indonesia, under the name Daniël van Zijl. As a child, Daniyal was always quite sickly, which lead to him favoring activities such as reading over the more physical activities of his peers. Following the Indonesian War of Independence, Daniyal's father abandoned his family and fled to the Netherlands. Due to his abandonment, and the growing public distain for anything Dutch, Daniyal's mother changed his name to an Indonesian spelling and adopted the surname Sitepu, after her family's ancestral clan. As a child, Daniyal achieved the feat of becoming an hafiz, one who has memorized the entire Qur'an, as well as an avid student of all topics related to Islam. As a teenager, Daniyal came in contact with a local dukun, a type of shamanic cleric found in Indonesian and Malaysian folk religion, and became his apprentance, learning the ways of the shaman, and how to root out malicious jinn and other unpleasant spirits. Showing promise, Daniyal was inducted into the Brotherhood of Dukun, and was sent out to deal with jinn and demons plaguing the people of Aceh. Since then, Daniyal has achieved a reputation for being an excellent and efficient hunter, being active in not only Sumatra, but taking work for the Muslim community in nearby Malaysia, Singapore, and Southern Thailand, even having a few connections to the Muslim community in Mainland China through the local southeast Asian Chinese communities. He has also done a handful of jobs in the Netherlands for the Indonesian immigrant community when the situation calls for a particularly skilled hunter.

Daniyal is notorious among his fellow hunters and the population at large for his rather jovial and careless personality. No stranger to the trials of being a hunter, Daniyal tries to decompress and destress himself as much as possible. He prefers a quick and easy solution to any problems that may come up on his travels, but is also no stranger to violence, and will not hesitate to make use of his weapons when the situation calls for it. However, when he is not working, Daniyal is known for being quite a jolly character, chatting freely with his clients and anyone else he comes across in his line of work. Some Dukun have even suggested that Daniyal has developed friendships with and keeps in contact with Jinn that he has come across in his work, though he would deny this.

EQUIPMENT

Al-Qur'an - While Daniyal has memorized the Qur'an, he still keeps a copy with him, in case it need be brought out against unbelieving and malicious jinn.

Tawiz - A type of Islamic amulet, good at keeping malicious spirits away from you while you pick them off.

Keris - An iconic weapon of the Malay archipelago, Daniyal carries one that has been blessed by its use by a Muslim saint from long ago. The weapon is quite effective against malicious entities

Mossberg 500 - The Dutch left many things in Indonesia due to colonialism. Not all of them good, but a connection to the Netherlands has left Daniyal in possession of a Dutch pump action shotgun that is good for taking out all sorts of targets. Daniyal uses specially crafted slugs that are capable of even taking out jinn.

M1 Garand - Another Dutch firearm, good for picking off targets at a distance.

CAPACITY
^{______________}

Daniyal has trained to have the mental fortitude to handle most anything that gets to him. He is, however, only human, and is stricken by vices that interfere with this work, such as his constant womanizing. Daniyal is, however, very capable in his work, and has never met with a jinn that has been able to match him toe to toe.

Daniyal prefers to act with precision, leaving as little impact as possible with his work, as if he were a surgeon removing the problem with as much precision and accuracy as possible while leaving as little collateral damage as possible.

Daniyal is also a proficient speaker of Indonesian, Dutch (his Native language), French, English, and Arabic. He also has a decent command of the Mandarin and Hokkien languages from his work with the Chinese communities.
