[@Mae]

I've adjusted the wording for her curse mark and added that section in her formative moments about how she ended up cursed.

I'm interpreting her ruthlessness as a survival skill that helps her push forward in the face of adversity, is that correct? [i]Yes, that is precisely correct.[/i] :sun

Can you clarify what this ability does a bit more, I'm having problems imagining the end effect:
Honor Guides Me In a clash between adversaries Huitzilipochtli will stand by the side of the honorable one and will extend her guidance to her charge in the moment of most dire need. [i]I was imagining it as a sort of a minor luck buff... Evade a blow, hit the right spot, don't step on poo :newlol[/i]

My Honor Is My Shield: With this ability Huitzilipochtli can deflect a single moderate or weak physical attack from one source, the physical attack deflected cannot be fatal or maiming in nature.  This cannot be used on the same person for another twenty minutes. [i]I thought that other effect might be too OP :lol[/i]

Your Burden Shall Be Mine: Can you specify a little bit more, do you mean when a person makes a selfless act towards another, Huitzilipochtli removes any suffering related to that? [i]Yes.[/i]

Know The Joy Of Sacrifice Huitzilipochtli: Is this just a joy increase or does it boost people's awareness/senses as well? [i]The purest joy of the sacrifice brings with it a boost of awareness. Let's say one knows they will be sacrificing themselves. They'll lose a limb, their life, etc. The joy in this sacrifice boosts their awareness.[/i]

Healing Gift - you'll probably get a buff to this once all characters are in (so I can better compare the heals that people have in this slot so it's a good balance for the cost) but don't worry about that for now. [i]Yes, please, don't confound my brain with numbers :sun[/i]

My Life For Yours: Is this her life for another person's or is she ressing one person by killing another? [i]No, no. No killing. One willing person offers their full life for the life of someone who just died or is dying. She can offer hers as well, just not for her starkissed. For another random human. She is simply the one to facilitate the trade and revive the targeted individual. The one doing the sacrifice would be committing suicide in the vain of her domain.[/i]

[indent][color=cccccc]Tlalli is not very tall. None of the Atunka are. At 5'5 she is fit and strong after years of combat and hunter training. She has the Atunka olive complexion, complemented by dark straight hair and deep dark brown eyes that are almost black, accentuated by beautiful eyebrows. Her somewhat square jaw line is offset by a straight, narrow nose and full, red lips.

Both her ears are pierced and she has two other piercings only she knows about. As any warrior and hunter of the Atunka clan, she has a number of battle scars on her body. Scars are not important to the Atunka. To them it is almost natural. They would sacrifice their life in an instant for clan and kin, so a measly scar is not worth mentioning.

Tlalli will usually wear her Priestess white robes when she is performing her duties. For all other occasions she dresses with leather pants and tunic.

The High Priestess' entire back is usually tattooed over the years of training little by little. But when Tlalli began her training it was discovered her back already bore an image that resembled a tattoo, but an almost completely faded one. Not knowing what this mysterious mark was, Tlalli's back was left as is, since no one dared disturb this strange image.[b]This image was, in fact, Tlalli's curse mark and with each use of her abilities the colors would become clearer and clearer as if a new tattoo layer is being added in. Each time the pain would be stronger and stronger radiating from her mark to spill over her entire body. If enough time passes between abilities used the pain would simmer down to a dull ache. But the more frequent the use of her abilities, the grater in strength they are, the more continuous and stronger the pain would be. Vicious, debilitating, sickening.

[indent][color=cccccc]Tlalli is a gentle and caring person. Her natural predisposition towards sympathy and empathy make her the ideal candidate for the heir to the High Priestess. She is most often quiet, subdued and demure. And will get extremely shy around someone she finds attractive. She would get incredibly flustered and tongue-tied. So much so that Totzi will often make sisterly fun of her and encourage her to be more bold and assertive. And Tlalli would pale and color at the same time and state that she isn't capable of that, not for the first step at least.

For in almost anything else she has no problem being direct, assertive and bold. Not when she is performing her Priestess duties. Not when she is out patrolling the woods. Not when she is part of a hunting party. Like all Atunka she is a fierce warrior and a ruthless hunter. Like all Atunka she is a survivor. And like all Atunka, she is prepared to sacrifice all of herself for her clan and her kin. Even if her parents don't want to speak with her. She lavishes all her love on her sister Totzi to compensate and often gives her council and offers solace when the burdens of future chieftainhood weigh heavy on her.

Tlalli is a very good listener and will often understand a person's troubles better than they themselves ever could. But ultimately, even with her sisters' love and devotion, she is a very lonely person. She often feels like a stranger, even surrounded by her clan. She wonders endlessly why was she born this way. She could never produce offspring the way she is. And children were a gift and a clan's greatest treasure. Or was this the reason for her to be born as the second daughter? She had no answer. Just this gnawing emptiness within her and the pain of useless longing.[/color][/indent]

[indent][color=cccccc]Tlalli was born the second daughter to the chieftain of the Atunka clan. Some might think 'poor her' and envy her bigger sister, who would ultimately inherit the chieftain position from her parents. But to Tlalli what came with being the second daughter was far, far more exciting and desirable. For to the second daughter of the chieftain couple went the position of Head Priestess.

It was a path that Tlalli knew suited her far better. The High Priestess carried her own weight and the respect within the clan. The Atunka were a deeply spiritual clan. Ever since the in-fighting had stopped and the clan became united, they understood that their survival was of their own doing as much as that of the higher spirits and guardians. And so the High Priestess would convey the voice of the Atunka, their prayers and thanks, to the spirits and guardians, to the gods and goddesses, and in return she would offer the clan with council, solace and support. For no mortal could interpret the will and voice of the gods. All the High Priestess could do was to encourage her people to move forwards through hardships. And convince the people that if the gods weren't willing to help, they had to help themselves.

This, to Tlalli's mind, was way more desirable than occupying herself with politics, diplomacy, and everything her sister was required to learn as the next in line for chieftain. There was of course the other huge plus. As the High Priestess, she would have the liberty to select her own mate. Something, for which she truly did not envy her sister - Totzi.

But why would that be important, one might wonder. Well, it was to Tlalli. For since she was old enough to know her own heart... and body, she knew she wasn't like the other girls of her clan. She wouldn't swoon over the young warrior or hunter trainees. She never even once tried to imagine what it would be to be kissed by one of them. On the contrary, the one time she did imagine it, she was not pleased at all by the imagery. Instead she would catch herself staring her sparing partners after combat training, when the girls would clean up and redress after practice. She never did it openly though. She was never that bold. Unlike Totzi, who had no problem getting boys to do her bidding. Tlalli was shy when it came to matters of the heart.

But she didn't have to worry about that, for she was far too busy with her Priestess training. If the Chieftain was the mind of the clan, the Priestess was its soul. And Tlalli had to learn how to take care of that soul. As the Priestess she was required to learn the ancient writings, to read the skies, to know the forest and all beasts within. She had to learn how to heal the body as well as the mind. But that was not all. She was still required to train at par with all other youngsters in combat. For all Atunka had to be fierce warriors and hunters to be able to survive in the rain forests.

When Tlalli was twenty her parents finally found out about her predilections. They were less than happy, but her sister Totzi had stepped up and defended her. For as it turned out, she'd known all along about Tlalli. She didn't manage to make their parents understand and Tlalli never managed to repair her relationship with them. So she moved out and went to live on her own. She was grateful to Totzi and the two sisters became even closer after that fateful incident. Of course her parents couldn't say anything to her. As the hair to the High Priestess they had no say in who her future mate would be. Tlalli's only hope was that they wouldn't take it out on Totzi in choosing her's.[/color]

[indent][color=cccccc][color=cccccc]Her original form has been long since forgotten. The once beautiful, colorful, mesmerizing hummingbird is no more. In her sorrow Huitzilipochtli took on a far more darker looking form to better suit the image thrust upon her and her domain. She will take on the form of a beautiful woman, but her face painter morbidly to resemble a decaying corps. With the cheeks gaunt, the eyes sunken, the teeth as if showing beneath the rotting flesh of her skull. It is a truly macabre visage, which she embraces for it does not impede her from performing her true purpose and presiding over her true domain.[/color][/color][/indent]

[indent][color=cccccc]Life was fragile. And so it was precious. The young human species clung to life with tooth and nail. Even when they began fighting over land, possessions and even mating companions they did so with the fierce intensity to survive and be the one to live on. To keep their existence for a little bit longer.

When the first life was given in self-sacrifice, in honor, Huitzilipochtli became. She sprang into being to govern those moments, to encourage those acts, to assuage the loss and pain of those left behind afterwards. Self-sacrifice and honor became her domain as well as the taking of one's own life to serve an honorable cause or as a sacrifice to one. As life was precious it was among the most altruistic of acts that gave Huitzilipochtli cause to separate from spirit and govern over those valiant ones who gladly paid the ultimate price with honor and grace.

She was also there to watch over those left behind. For a life was not a solitary occurrence. It was connected with many others. And more often than not those closest would not understand the sacrifice or the need for it. Huitzilipochtli would give those inconsolable ones reprieve from their pain and sorrow. She would give them the strength to move forward in life in the knowledge that their loved one would continue on in a new existence and would be rewarded for giving the most precious gift of their own life.

That was the beauty of Huitzilipochtli's domain.

But humans and other gods sought to tarnish its simplicity. Humans and gods alike would pressure, toy and torture others for pleasure until they brought them to the brink of sanity, when the only escape from their hellish existence was the bosom of death. It was an end to the suffering. The humans did it out of cruelty and wickedness. The gods to toy with Huitzilipochtli's domain.

As the goddess of suicide she would have to preside over those deaths. And that would soon tarnish the purity of the gift of live freely given back for honor and in self-sacrifice. With the passing of the time she was forgotten as Huitzilipochtli, the Hummingbird, the one who presides over sacrifice, honor and suicide. And became feared as the Goddess of suicide, and linked to decaying bodies and rotting flesh.

But she persevered, for even without worship, she still would find joy in serving those brave ones who would give back their own gift of life in the service of honor and sacrifice. And the ones who they left behind. She was alone, misunderstood, hated and feared, until she found her starkissed. And the purest of love knew her for who she really was and the beauty she presided over.

And again the envious gods were unhappy. They’d ruined Huitzilipochtli’s domain, but she’d found a way to push forward thanks to the love of her starkissed. They got jealous and even more bitter than before. And with that they became desperate. And in their desperation they took the only thing Huitzilipochtli treasured most. The one thing she would sacrifice anything for. Her Starkissed. They offered her a simple trade. Enter mortal coil, cursed to live over and over again. Or we will torture your starkissed for eternity. Huitzilipochtli didn’t hesitate. She never found out the complete extent of the dark gods’ treachery and that her starkissed would be cursed with her.[/color][/indent]
