Trivyu

Trvjhu (chosen) (a.k.a. Peacemaker)

Trivyu was centrally involved in resolving the human-tkevsa conflict on Tokled as interpreter between the two sides.  As a result, he was honored with the written name of Peacemaker.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

As a young pup, he was nearly killed in an eagle raid on the nesting colony in which he was born. The colony guards injured the bird carrying him, forcing it to let go--but with a forelimb already dislocated, he was unable to glide, and crashed. His long hospitalization coincided with visits by the medic from the humans' outpost, a grandmotherly type who talked incessantly. After reaching adulthood and choosing his name, Trivyu was accepted into the flight guild. In that role, he worked with another of the outpost's humans, surprising her by answering her rhetorical questions.

Employment

Trivyu is nominally a member of the flight guild, but as the only tkevsa capable of speaking moderately intelligible Oceantongue, he serves as liaison between the tkevsa and humans.

Social

Hobbies & Pets

Most unusually for a member of a species that eats birds, Trivyu keeps a pair of pet ducks, a gift from the human medic.

Speech

Trivyu's command of Oceantongue is far from fluent. Tkevsa do not have a spoken language themselves, so he had to memorize it as an extremely complex system of calls with interchangeable parts.

Gender

male
