Still working on stuff, but before I go to much further, I wanted your opinion on the race and guilt sections. I think I might add more to the race, to make things clearer, but I want to make sure I'm going in the right direction.

[b]Name:[/b] Einin of Ora

[b]Age:[/b] 19

[b]Gender:[/b] Female

[b]Race:[/b] Heqet- A race of humanoid frogs common in the southern tropics. Most range in height from 4-5' and have an impressive array of colors and patterns adorning their skin. These colors tend to be fairly uniform based on clan. Gender wise, male and female heqet can be hard for other races to distinguish between. Their names often don't help matters.

Heqet begin life as fairly large tadpoles in shallow spawning pools. As they mature and lose their ability to breathe water, they are adopted by members of the clan to be raised. Their adoptive parent teaches them a trade and the ins and outs of clan life. There are only two exceptions to this system. One is that all members of a clan are taught how to defend themselves and their neighbors, a fact that has led the heqet to become some of the most prolific martial artists in the world. The other is when a child is found to possess the "spark of the divine," and is taken from their parent to become one of the clan's shaman leaders.

While heqet are most comfortable in warmer climates, that doesn't mean the race hasn't branched out since being discovered by the Lorean Empire. Every few years a couple of youngsters like Einin trickle out of their homelands to wander Aephere. Those ranging to colder climates, however, are careful to bring some extra means of warmth with them as they just aren't built to take the cold.

The idea for this race mostly came from [url=http://whitefoxcub.deviantart.com/art/Warrior-Frogs-374788483]this picture[/url], which is awesome.

[b]Appearance:[/b] Einin is about 4'3" tall. Her smooth skin is a golden color and fades to white on her hands and feet. This is contrasted by her black, glossy eyes and a dark blue stripe that runs from her forehead to the back of her neck. 

Einin is typically dressed in a dark red sarong and/or a matching head scarf depending on the weather. Both have purple embroidery bordering the cloth that depicts small birds in flight. The only other clothes she wears are a pair of simple leather vambraces and a leather belt.

[b]Personality:[/b] Einin's a friendly and outgoing heqet with a tendency to talk over herself when she gets excited or frantic. She is an optimist who has a somewhat childish veiw that everything, no matter what, will work out in the end. It's this optimism that has kept her going despite life's pitfalls. She also has a strong indipendant streak when it comes to oppression, whether its aimed at herself or others.

[b]Background:[/b] Einin, like some of her kind, found the wider world to her liking and decided to travel when she came of age. It wasn't surprising. Ever her father's "little bird," Einin was always wandering off to see what lay beyond the next hill or river. Her wanderings took her through the Cashan Desert, the Rhothland Hills, and finally to the town of Sothia where her coin gave out. 

With not much else for prospects, she turned to the weaving she learned from her clan and now works a loom to feed and house herself. Although it was only with the intention of gaining enough money to keep traveling, this bird's wings seem to be clipped. Each day she finds it harder to envision moving on. It might take something drastic to get her on the road again.

[b]Moral Weakness: [/b]
Dead Father- Choosing to leave as she did, Einin turned her back on her clan and her father. She never appreciated the gavity of that choice until he died in an attack perpetrated by clan Daq. Even though she couldn't have helped him or her clan, she still feels responcible for not being there when he needed her, his loss hitting her like a freight train every time she catches herself reminicing about him.

Lack of Focus- Everyone around Einin is doing something with their lives. Having children, working towards a goal, making plans. She has none of that and nothing comes to her when she sets her mind to finding one. It makes her feel unimportant and depressed.

Forgetfulness- Einin has always had a habit of being distracted and forgetting important details. Most notably she was working for a friend, Nora, on her dream wedding. In particular Einin was in charge of the clothing. By the time the date came around, nothing was finished. Everything was thrown off and it even ended the friendship. To this day Einin regrets not taking her responcibility more seriously.

[b]Moral Immunity: [/b]
Societal Pressure- Einin might be lost in her own life, but she will be damned if she'd going to be told what its point should be. The shamans, her father, her clan, the empire, none of them can define her and she will fight if anyone tries to.

[b]Skills: [/b]
Weaving- Einin's quick hands and nimble fingers make her a skilled weaver. She made the clothes she wears and the clothing of many other people around town. It's a skill she takes a particular amount of pride in.

Climbing- Like other heqet, Einin has the ability to adhere to surfaces that can support her weight. Walls, trees, ceilings, as long as she can get a good grip she can crawl or climb along any of them.

Martial Arts- Einin favors the moade style, like most of her kin. It's a soft art that focuses on redirecting and re-positioning her opponent's force and using the environment to frustrate attacks. 

[b]Other:[/b] None yet.
