Looking back at this bio years later...the cringe is insane.

There is an old Sektephi saying about luck, "A nomad can spend an entire day with clear skies, or struggling to keep the sands out of his eyes" It seemed as if fortune saw it fit to hurl a handful of sand into Djin's face as the elf began her assault. Backstepping as fast his feet would allow, the wanderer watched for when it seemed Syndana would cease her advance. After a good number of swipes and thrusts the Lost threw herself back to prepare for another attempt. To see an elf in Omujir, let alone their fighting style, was an extreme rarity. But Djin wasn't some newly arrived Sektephi, her unorthodox fighting style would be met with his own, knowledge gathered along his journey from numerous culture. One such technique was relieving himself of a now useless bow. As soon as Syndana leaped back, Djin hurled his bow as hard as he could at her, spinning as it flew across the room before deflecting the metal projectile. Unsheathing Daityat he charged forward wielding it with a single hand while his free hand formed a tight fist. His only thoughts were, "If only I spent more time with the Sehrai, I could have ended with fight long ago"

Djin brought forth his blade to deflect the first dagger swipe, should it connect he would follow up with an elbow strike to the face and hopefully gain the opportunity to grab the elf's off hand. In his mind it would be a simple thing to do; block the first strike allowing him to disorient his foe with an elbow bash then follow up with a punch to the gut which would send their upper body forward and vulnerable to a finishing strike should he not be able to disarm her off hand. As much as he was against pointless bloodshed, Djin secretly loved duels. The finesse it took to study your opponent's moves and formulating a plan to defeat them as the battle carried on. To see how his opponent fought against him would tell him so much in such little time. It was an intimate thing, intense and eye opening as to what kind of a person your adversary was.

"I would offer you the Nil Miasleten but you are a Lost. One without honor cannot be granted such", Sektephi customs allow for a combatant to offer the Nil Miasleten which gives their opponent the ability to concede defeat without any loss of honor or harmful punishment towards either party. If a combatant is casteless, not capable of complex thought, or is simply deemed honorless then there is no choice but to fight. "A shame really, I would have very much liked to speak with you"
Djin eyed the orc's movements, from the slightest twitch to the adjustment of his stance. He nocked an arrow from its quiver and drew back on the bowstring, at a moments notice it would find itself somewhere on the stinking carcass of his orc combatant. "If I can get his leg he'll be slowed. After that tis just a matter of...what is she doing?", Djin lowered his bow upon seeing his decapitated friend attempting to converse with the orc. While he admired the fact she'd be so civil in such a situation, to him the hour for civility had passed and it was time to do battle, no matter how bloody it may be.

"If were to be giving introductions I may as well do the same.I am Djinsuir Ibn Al-Ghumari, Sirahli of The Great Sand Sea of Omujir. You may call me Djin if you wish but it matters little to me", as he spoke, Djin drew his bow once more and began stepping to the side and around the orc, hoping to get a flanking angle on him before the start of this battle. "Unlike my friend here, I need not know your name", upon the conclusion of his sentence Djin began to let loose a number of arrows, a total of four made its way towards the orc to serve as both a diversion and a direct attack. Turning his aim towards the various torches, Djin fired remaining arrows at most of the wall torches, knocking them to the ground and reducing their range of illumination quite noticably. With only a select few still standing, the room now was dotted with pockets of darkness. Throwing his bow to the side, Djin unsheathed his khopesh and made his way into the shadows. "Like the Qatari of my home, I embrace darkness", his Sektephi eyes, glowing ever so faintly in the dark, allowed him to see the whole room and its occupants in perfect clarity.

"These eyes are the last thing you shall see, orc!", while his eyes might have given away his position, his movements would still ve obscured. The orc would fumble in the dark trying to land a hit, while Djin would be able to maneuver the battlefield easily. What's more, while his opponent would be busy with him, Ailsa could easily use the shadows as cover to move in for the final blow if not simply harass the enemy.


Djinsuir Ibn Al-Ghumari




"Saf lujat ai firanij"



Age: 27

Race: Sektephi

Appearance: The Sektephi are all born with a unique symbol somewhere on their body, after birth its meaning is interpreted by the Awrak'hayla or "Life Oracle". Djin bears his mark on his left pectoral and its meaning is "Wandering Sword". Aside from his birth mark his body also displays a variety of scars; burns, stabs, and slashes. His eyes, indicative of his birth from the Almarak Clan, a vibrant blue which glows faintly in the night.

Equipment: Despite being exposed to many different cultures, Djin has never once forgotten his people. Choosing only to wear traditional Sektephi armor and clothing he tends to stand out from he crowd. Almarak crafted iron breastplate and pauldrons offer the most protection with the rest of his outfit consisting of leather and cloth. His family sword "Daityat" or "Union" is an Almarak Steel Khopesh and is his primary weapon but if the situation calls for it, Djin can easily wield his oak short bow with ease.

Personality: Raised by a code, Djin is a rather formal and polite individual. It is only under times of great stress that his less favorable side takes front stage. If a task is given to him he will see it completed as long as it does not sully his family name or his honor. While he is not a pious man, Djin does hold some respect for his gods, particularly Hesi: goddess of the sand sea. Allies need not ask for a more loyal companion and enemies should pray for mercy as Djin shows the utmost compassion for his friends and does not easily forgive transgressions against him or those close to him.

History: Omujir, a land of sand seas and flourishing oases, of scorched earth and fertile jungle. The people who claim this land as their own are known as the Sektephi, a race of man born with gifts from their harsh homeland. Nomadic tribes by nature, Sektephi clans dot the land in hundreds but the four most powerful tribes are; The Kearshai'in, Almarak, Vityadi, and Suorokasi. Djinsuir Ibn Al-Ghumani was born a member of the Almarak Clan, nomadic sellswords offering protection to any who would seek it. His father and mother, Zarif and Tahani Al-Ghumani, were the heads of the Ghumani tribe, a large tribe with ancestral ties and present loyalties to the Almarak. Djinn's birth sparked conflict in the family as his uncle, Tarik would now have to serve him should his parents die.

For years, Tarik served bitterly at his brother's side until Djin was seventeen years old. Age had caught up with Zarif and it was time for Tarik to make his move. One night, Tarik gathered men loyal to him and staged a coup. Zarif was killed in battle and Tahani soon after but not before giving the family sword to her son and sending him off into the wilderness alone. From that day forth, Djin would live as a lone nomad, going wherever the sands blew, searching for...something. A purpose? A new home? Revenge? Whatever it was, it led him to the Infinity Bridge. Years of fighting and wandering alone has led to this point and Djin had a feeling his destiny lay beyond the bridge.

Guild Ranking: Wood

Misc:
Sektephi are born with exceptional night vision as well as possessing impressive fire resistance, touching fire will not burn them unless one keeps contact with the flame for an extended period of time.


Goals: Since birth it has been his destiny to wander, to satisfy an unrelenting desire for something unknown. Djin has wandered the world, seen many wonders and terrors, and his journey has finally led him here. With a bit of luck and the aid of the gods, he shall find what he seeks here.
Hey everyone, sorry to say this but I've decided to end this rp. I'm not feeling same need to post as I did with the first Dawn Covenant rp and I'd rather not work on something with little to no effort put into it on my part. perhaps sometime in the future I'll return to this or another version of it but right now I'm ending it to work on another rp that I'm genuinely excited to work on. If anyone is interested just say so and I'll message you when its up. I promise i'll be way more active in it than this one and things'll be more engaging.
@ShaggyDoo0 Let them throw down a little before intervening
Oh how time doth pass with haste
