Dakinath na Mejekhi (a.k.a. Daka)

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

He's not known for his strength or fitness, as he's spent a long time travelling without a solid shelter or healthy diet. He's in a weary shape, and has a small difficulty hearing due to missing parts of his outer ears.

Body Features

He has dark, dry hair and light brown skin, which tanned and scarred in most places. Missing parts of his outer ears due to a tradition that goes along with exile, which is to forcibly rip out the accused's earrings.

Failures & Embarrassments

• Exiled by his family after breaking laws around using forbidden magic and speaking with the enemy.

• When asked for his name once, he paused in the middle of saying "Dakinath," which then resulted in everyone calling him "Daka" and he never corrected anyone.

• Went silent during a strategic war meeting because he forgot which language he was supposed to be speaking.

Intellectual Characteristics

Logical, very linguistic (speaks six languages fluently), strategic

Morality & Philosophy

He carries a grey morality that is summed up by the phrase, "If it hurts no one, it's alright." He does not think enough about philosophy to adopt any one pattern.

Personality Characteristics

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Horrible with a sharp weapon,

Social

Family Ties

His blood-related brother is head of the Ahknan throne, which his nephew is trying to take over. Dakinath is currently disowned from them. His sons were born out of wedlock and in secrecy, raised by their mother as Cascan healers, giving him no legal right to be called their family.

Religious Views

Dakinath holds almost no religious views except for the idea of the spirits of the dead living on within the Earth.

Social Aptitude

Extremely charismatic, and is very comfortable when speaking to large groups of people. He uses his linguistic knowledge to his advantage, communicating with and translating for many people from diverse areas. He's an extrovert, and enjoys social interaction very much, and so makes it a point to share his life with as many people as possible.

Speech

He uses a formal tone when speaking to anyone from Ahkna, and a very casual one when speaking to anyone else.

History

Leo hadn't met Dakinath until he was in his early teen years. Then, as he got to know him, he realized that they were very similar people. Dakinath tries not to step anywhere he's not welcome, and so often keeps a distance between them. He consulted Leo's mother before even trying to speak with them, and still feels incredibly awkward, shouldering some guilt for leaving when he was a baby. To Leo, he's an interesting stranger who happens to be his father.

Commonalities & Shared Interests

Politics, literature (although Leo's read next to nothing while Dakinath's written more complex works than Leo could understand), magic, jewelry-making, weaving

Shared Acquaintances

Sanahk Nasandahk (Dakinath's former lover, Leo's mother), and Syana Ul-San Nasandahk (Leo's brother of the same parents)

History

Syhana grew up never thinking about his and Leo's father, whereas Dakinath hasn't stopped wondering what the two of them turned out to be. Upon first meeting, Syha was, quite frankly, disgusted, as he originally saw Dakinath as some tired old traitor. He didn't believe Dakinath was his birth father until his mother told him. So, the two have had a rocky sort of relationship full of mistrust and refusal to cooperate or become close with one another.

Commonalities & Shared Interests

• The magical extend of healing abilities

• Philosophy
