Kaya and Sandata ♀♀: A pair that come from a fantasy game. Kaya is a childless middle aged Skelkie. Sandata is her amphibious baby dragon companion. The two are an unlikely pair for many reasons: Kaya is fully grown at only three feet and ten inches tall, at two months Sandata is already four feet; Kaya the humanoid boarders on being an idiot, Sandata the dragon is a highly intelligent; Kaya is kind and warm to all those around her, Sandata scares strangers for fun; and while Kaya is a breathtaking acrobat, Sandata writhers around like a graceless black slug. They do, however, love each other very much. With her husband's death and her inability to have children, Kaya loves her little dragon like her own child. While Sandata doesn't show it, she depends on her new mother very much.

She is pale, small, slender and sleek. (Not to mention slippery. Perhaps she is better described as a bar of soap?) • Kaya is built like a reed, thin and frail looking. When tired she looks sickly and sallow. • At night she looks like a ray of walking moonlight. But however graceful that may sound she does not carry herself like a refined lady. Instead she moves much like a will-o-whisp, bouncing up and around and dances whenever she fancies. • This Skelkie may act like a child, but the first signs of age are starting to show on her face. Kaya has the start of crow's feet and laughter lines creasing her face. Her hands, once supple and smooth, are becoming worn with time as well. • Kaya's gills are located on the side of her neck, closer to the back than the front. They run up slightly beyond her hairline and down just where her shoulders start. • Kaya has some scars on her body, most of them come from her adventuring and some of them came from Sandata. She has a few large scars running the side of her chest and her arms, one on her left cheek and one on the palm or her left hand. STATS STRENGTH: 0/10 points SPEED: 7/10 point DEXTERITY: 9/10 CONSTITUTION: 2/10 INTELLIGENCE: 5/10 MAGIC: 5/10 SPELL MASTERY: 4/10 COMBAT SKILLS: 7/10 PERSONALITY: • Kaya is a supportive character, both on and off the battle field. She prioritises the safety of those she cares about before her own. She has already lost her husband and she does not want to lose any more of her loved ones. • Kaya does not enjoy confrontation. She's more than willing to back down from an argument and subtly manipulate the odds in her favour from the background to get the results she wants. These days, however, this ability of hers is used for good (or what she thinks is good) and not for selfish reasons or self satisfaction. • While she is sweet and non-confrontational, she defends her loved ones with a dragon's ferocity. Number one on that list is Sandata, then her friends come next. She also has a habit of brining the wounded and ill food. This applies to most people she knows and likes in the city. • Fairness and justice are definitely big things in Kaya's book, however under her sweet smile she is just as dangerous as the next warrior. Her concept of fairness is harsh and rigid. The ends justify the means, and she is not afraid to hurt others for the sake of righteousness. More than any other alignment Kaya is Chaotic Good. Perhaps that is how she managed to 9get along with both the crazy watch captains? • Kaya is not the smartest cookie in the bunch, but she is very hardworking, determined, and resourceful. ⋯ ⋯ ⋯ ⋯ ⋯ STORYBOOK • Kaya grew up by a river in the fertile and slow-paced lands of Cirelith. It was a fun life, and she spent most of her days helping hunt for food or exploring the length of the river. • Kaya's husband was from the same Skelkie clan, but was five years her senior and had been adventuring for a long time, but the two of them were good friends despite the large age gap. Every time Huli, her husband, would return from a quest, he would fill Kaya's ears with tales of faraway lands. She was hooked, and wished to adventure by Huli's side. When Kaya was of marrying age they wed and set off together. • The two of them had much fun on the road together, and they traveled for fifteen years. They were happy with their nomadic lives, and with each other. One the two of them were ambushed by people they assumed were thieves. While the two of them managed to successfully send the rouges running, Huli was injured and never really recovered. • Huli grew weaker and weaker, and in her pursuit to find a proper healer to rid her husband of his horrid infection, Kaya took him to Orbis. They settled there for a few months, where Kaya stayed by her husband's side while he slowly withered away and died. • Huli died in Orbis, and was buried in Orbis. Kaya has left Orbis several times to go on short trips to sate her wanderlust, but she always came back to her husband'sside. On one of her short trips she found a large lake in the middle of a dark forest. The area was in tatters, a fresh struggle. There was blood everywhere, and the remains of a dead dragon--- its killers would be back for the rest of it for sure--- and for some reason Kaya decided to check the depths of the lake. It was there that she found a large, blue egg. This happened almost a year ago. • She's been a resident of Orbis for four years, and has made herself a reputation for being a kind soul with a deadly eye. When she found the egg, she stopped traveling to protect the egg, and took a job in the Day Watch. After Sandata hatched Kaya switched to the Night Watch and was promoted quickly to Sergant. She was one of the few people who could hold her own against Orbis' infamous Night Watch Captain and that made her a prime candidate for the job. ⋯ ⋯ ⋯ ⋯ ⋯ TRIVIA • When she was travelling with her husband, Kaya would do acrobatics and knifethrowing tricks to earn extra coin. It is now those very same skills that keep her alive in combat. • Sandata naturally produces mucus to keep herself moist. As longas Sandata is by her side, and coating Kaya in mucus, Kaya can go on for extended periods of time without taking a dip in water. • Kaya's cooking is not her strongest point, especially for the less adventurous palette. What she makes isn't necessarily bad, but Skelkie food has always been on the wild, unrefined side that a lot of city folk are not accustomed to. It's a love it or hate it sort of thing. Her soups and salads are the most 'normal' of all her dishes.

Her skin is actually course and covered in short, rough barb-like scales. These barbs are a last defence system since the mucus makes her surface too slippery to hook on to anything. The barbs only cut anything trying to grab her. • Sandata has a few tendrils on her head, two act as sensory organs, and one acts as a hypnotic lure for her victims and prey. STATS STRENGTH: 4/10 SPEED: 4/10 DEXTERITY: 2/10 CONSTITUTION: 4/10 INTELLIGENCE: 7/10 MAGIC: 7/10 PERSONALITY • Sandata is a proud and grumpy little dragon. She doesn't like being told what to do or pushed around by anyone but Kaya. A large part of this is because Kaya tends to use 'gentle chiding' more than ordering, and Sandata responds very well to that. • Sandata is a greedy little bugger, and will need some firm disciplining early. She also eats enough to feed a small family. • Despite it being larger than her tamer, Sandata is still a baby and tries to wrestle and play with Kaya. For the most part it is endearing, but it won't be long before she can crush Kaya by simply leaning on her. • Sandata likes to masquerade around as an independent dragon, but she's really just a big, tsundere softie. (The description can be taken literally as well) ⋯ ⋯ ⋯ ⋯ ⋯ TRIVIA • Sandata is an Evening Star River Serpent. While the dragon race itself is not a rarity, it is an extremely rare sight to see one out of water and slithering about in civilisation. • Sandata was meant to live in the deep, dark depths of large bodies of water so her eyes are sensitive to light and her unprotected skin is sensitive to heat and dryness. • The Evening Star Dragon uses hypnotism to lull its pray before devouring it. The hypnotic effects are very strong, even now while Sandata is young, but she herself is not large enough or fast enough to kill a skilled warrior before the hypnosis wears off. At her age the hypnosis is meant to distract predators so that the dragon whelp can get away. • Sandata has tried to hypnotise Kaya several times, too many times in fact. Kaya has actually built a resistance to it. • While Sandata hates the daylight, she actually enjoys the strange looks she gets when people see her and her barbed teeth. She also enjoys shocking people at night by blinding them, or by making her light flicker. It's a dangerous hobby for a squishy little dragon such as herself.[/hider]
