Tay

Tetsuka Lily (a.k.a. Tay)

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Tay's body is slight, but covered in lean muscle from years of brutal survival and eating scraps day by day. Scars cover much of her body, marring the skin with faded red lines that crisscross her limbs and stomach. Two nubs of hardened skin on her shoulder blades mark a particularly gruesome injury from a time where she had been gifted a pair of aasimar's wings that were later sawed off.

Body Features

Long, pure white hair that reaches down to her waist and can move of its own volition. A severed right arm rounded to a nub just under the shoulder, to which a fully functioning cybernetic limb has been grafted.

Facial Features

Pink, snakelike eyes from Savohr heritage. Two triangular facial scars on her cheeks, slavery marks.

Special abilities

Prehensile hair, and an adamantine cybernetic arm.

Apparel & Accessories

Extremely light and exposed clothes in pure white and black. The coloration resembles paintbrushes dipped in ink.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

A runaway slave from the Chaos, Tay is a pureblooded human with white hair who was adopted into the Silver Fangs during her teenage years. Since their disbandment, she traveled the world searching for a new place to call her home and eventually settled on the slum levels of the walking city, Caravan. Reestablishing her tiny family under the simpler name of "the Fangs", she continues to lead their existence for survival as a guild of mercenary adventurers.   Originally, she was born Tetsuka of House Lily; the house itself being a prominent staple of the noble court in the Chaos dimension. Daughter of a Savohr-mixed consort and the middle-aged heir of the house, she was given none of the privileges that her pureblooded siblings were afforded, despite the snakeblooded traits only manifesting in her pink eyes. The House Lily was destroyed by an inside traitor though, and all of its children- immediately recognizable by their trademark white hair- were thought to be slain. Tay survived, though her memories of her childhood were erased when she was captured and sold into slavery.

Sexuality

Despite her past as a slave- or perhaps twisted by it- Tay is a ravenous creature; though her fear of those same emotions leads to months of reclusivity. What few intimate relationships she manages to form are usually cut short by her inability to fully open up to a partner.

Education

Classical, though stunted by amnesia.

Employment

Slavery during teens, transitioning to adventurer work throughout early twenties.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Guild founder, adoptive mother, and expert adventurer.

Failures & Embarrassments

Ran away from the original Silver Fangs, and has struggled to reestablish a home of her own ever since.

Mental Trauma

Years of being used as a plaything and passed around as a slave instilled a pathological fear of bindings and imprisonment in her, as well as fear of several species that participated in the trauma; notably orcs.

Intellectual Characteristics

Instinctual and charismatic, Tay tends to act rashly in protecting her family or doing what she thinks to be the right course of action to ensure her own survival. Many times, this means listening to her instincts and making a quick decision from them.

Morality & Philosophy

Good is what helps her survive, and evil is anything linked to the past of hurt that she overcame. Tay is willing to do vile things to continue living or to protect someone she calls her family, and she cannot abide seeing others suffer in the same way she did. She will never stand to let slavery go by uncontested.

Taboos
