Mists on the Mountain

"Life without passion is just survival."

Humanoid (Rakasta Tabaxi), Chaotic Good)
Main Mood: Lively | Fave Food: Raw Flesh | Pet Peeve: Meekness | Style of Battle: Spirited and tribal, loud.

As to be expected of a youthful Rakasta who has been graced by Sharess, a once Mulhorandi power and lieutenant to Anhur, and companion to the primal spirit Nobanion, and follows ancestral ways of said goddess, Mists on the Mountain is impulsive and passionate. One to enjoy pleasures and hedonistic tendencies, despite being such an outsider to the greater realm due to his questionable mortal qualities, Mists gets along well with those who mean well and who follow their desires. Passionately pursuing what is valuable in life in its exploration is what fuels him and, despite being a novice, calls much of his magic to life. It grants him a surprisingly deep wisdom for a young Rakasta and makes him strangely insightful from time to time.

Likewise, as a cleric, rather a shaman, Mists follows a certain dogma that borrows from the various forces of the Felidae portfolio and exalts them with expected fervor. Much of his sentiment revolves around enjoying one's self to the point that nothing goes to waste, that living things are sacred and should be preserved in their own place of the cycle, that the strong survive but they survive best with good leaders, and that all must work together for the cause. This sense of wholeness and unity, as well as sentiment, is not easily won from Mists but those he favors quickly become particular favorites.

A young Rakastodon, Mists on the Mountain, is a very distant Rakasta relative to the far more common "Jakar", or the word the Rakasta use to describe the Tabaxi. As all of these creatures are born under the portfolio of Felidae and are attributed to Bast, they are all large, cat-like humanoids, with Mists on the Mountain being no different in that regard, barring unusual size and scale. As with other "Ancestor Rakasta", Mists is of relatively gigantic proportions despite being a fairly young Rakastodon, towering well over seven feet high and weighing just over a third of one ton, which is expected of the breed, as is the massive canine teeth they bear.

As with other Rakastodon, Mists bears a fairly thick pelt of fur, which in his particular case more a rust color and adorned with elongated, thin rosettes than a more plain tan. With bright, youthful pale blue eyes, long whiskers at the muzzle and from the brow and jaw, along with an apparent absent of scarring, it is clear such a Rakasta is not well traveled or well experienced. As with others who come into their wandering age, Mists on the Mountain has decided to venture out and understand the world as it is now, wearing little more than a crude set of scrounged armor and equipment that poorly fits, notably a chain shirt that covers only his chest, which is otherwise dressed with but a loose, cropped gambeson. With large exposed arms, rolled leather pants cuffed at the knee, and without boots or gloves, the most decoration Mists has come from his leather belt, bandoleer, and assortment of leather bracelets, anklets, claws, and teeth. Despite this, Mists on the Mountain has a distinctive and well-kept amulet worn about the thickness of his large neck, one readily identified as a holy symbol of Bast, also known as Sharess; a goddess of the portfolio Felidae.

However, despite being an odd amalgam of many varied armors and equipment, ranging from chain mail to bits of furs and hides, the most distinctive element outside Mists' necklace is his choice in weapon; a sizable, bladed spear. Affixed with further ornamentation, such as being bound and decorated with leather and its weathered blade brightest and sharpest at its bite, it is abundantly clear this is not a weapon belonging to a Rakasta, although said primitive touches obscures that. Presumably, Mists chose said weapon during his travels, or at least fashioned it out of a large walking staff which would be more expected among young shamans, a form of cleric.
All young Rakasta, perhaps most famously the Tabaxi, experience wanderlust at maturity and are often cast out of their tribes as a result as a coming of age ceremony. For the Rakastodon, as they have done for years beyond their own number, this means recently mature males and females must go out into the world and survey all they can and return with not just knowledge of it and its secrets, but also the strength needed to defend their tribe. For Mists on the Mountain and his tribe, his role as a novice shaman is to unlock the greater secrets needed to guide his people and more importantly, quench his thirst for learning beyond what can be taught by his own kind; he must be made more tempered and disciplined, rather than lively and free of consequence. The only way to do this is down the path of life experiences.

So it became only natural that Mists was sent away with very limited goods and supplies, forced to live off of what he has learned, and has since discovered. Although as one expects, this is not easy for a monstrous race or one that is so few and limited. While he has skirted the worst of threats, his wandering, meandering endeavors have led him to a newer, greater adventure.

I can certainly have Mists on the Mountain provide more of a support role but that will require a member volunteering to be much more defensively oriented or finding a suitable replacement. Alternatively, I can readily make a barbarian, fighter, or paladin, but I suspect any prospective new member might prefer to take one of those roles instead, @CollectorOfMyst. I do believe the best I can offer is to see what the remaining party would choose and I go from there, as one is correct, doing all the roles generally is ill advised, despite how well say a paladin can multitask. Alternatively, it could just be stated outright for the sake of the group and the balance of the game what is desired, I would not be particularly bothered.
