QAYN

Degatlē (Flesh-Crafter) Qayn Kugwōdal (Third-Moon-Song)

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

Tall, lankily built with six arms and a shaggy silver mane of hair. Her face splits into multiple pieces due to a floating series of jaw-bones.

Body Features

Qayn has six arms. The first two arms are located at the top of her body, above where the typical human's shoulders would be. The second pair of arms are located in the typical spot; the third and final pair of arms emerge from beneath Qayn's over-elongated ribcage.   Qayn has a long tail with brushy, silk-slick fur.

Facial Features

Row of teeth sticking out from the upper jaw / mandible.

Identifying Characteristics

Six arms; red and black brindled fur.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Qayn desires to see the end of the Emperor's lineage, but doesn't necessarily care for the ending of the entire empire. As such, Qayn keeps her head down (so as not to be seized by the agents of the Emperor), but she aids rebels as she can within reason. Beyond this, Qayn desires to live well. Her enthusiasm for life is coupled with a particular hedonism that others, especially her more conservative companions, tend to bristle at.

Hygiene

Qayn is immaculately groomed. Her fur is always soft to the touch, and her skin is clear.

Social

Contacts & Relations

Qayn sits in a unique position in which she has influence in all four strata of society. To those of the lowest caste, Qayn is a ready employer who will pay you without question for body parts and organs that you bring her-- with a bonus for mage parts. Among the elevated individuals that make up Iun's second societal rung, Qayn has several contacts who will trade with her under the table, enabling her to get her claws on items that she shouldn't have access to.   The noble-house caste and the god-blooded caste both rely on Qayn for strange esoteric art pieces that they can show off to their fellows.  

Key Contacts:

  Iosevka Xadoka || Janitorial contact, flesh-smuggler, partner in crime Iosevka initially began to work for Qayn after an incident involving the janitor and an irate servitor-street-watcher. Now, Qayn has someone she can rely on to bring her prime pieces of meat. After the most recent failed revolution against the 'Emperor', Qayn found herself surprised with the head of the revolution leader.

Religious Views

Qayn worships a forbidden God.   She pays enough lip service to Regīyō that her worship of Tsidi has gone unnoticed. Qayn believes that the God-Rulers are inept, corrupt, and bloated, but she isn't stupid enough to voice this where she can be caught.

Wealth & Financial state

Qayn is incredibly affluent in both money and favors due to her high-tier Fleshcrafting work. Her expertise is unparalleled in her native district, but word of her abilities has spread. Now, even low-ranking nobles will seek to have something crafted by Qayn in order to just say they've a piece created by her.
