Art by microwavemmm [ x ] Character Information Full Name: Isagani Race: Balantagi Sihai Age: 20 Gender: Magandalak Any pronouns accepted. They/he narratively. Eye Color: Dark brown Core Concept Isagani, still freshly into their twenties, has already experienced the rise and fall of power during their short term as their island nation’s Babaylan upon their mother’s death. Largely unadjusted to life outside of their home, they experience doubt in their own capability and spirituality, despite whole-hearted faith in their ancestors. A new identity is yet to be forged as they venture beyond their reach as a spiritual advisor and seek further mentorship themselves in the combative sphere, as to avoid the grave failure they experienced before.

They have long, dark brown hair with a shaggy texture, thick brows, and stand at 5’6”. Their build is toned and broad, somewhat feminite in shape, despite their embrace of body hair. Typically, their apparel is aligned with the Balantagi’s Balat style. Their most common appearance is altered by the Lá Wolf stance, with fur that coats their forehead and creeps down the bridge of their nose, as well as along their ears. In this form, they have slightly visible canines poking from their upper lip. Their chest, upper back, and upper arms are stained with traditional knotted tattoos. Life Story Isagani was born the daughter of her island’s Babaylan, raised in an environment of deeply entrenched mysticism. Familiarity with occultism and common magic was granted by the local Lubae, who they often assisted with in community outreach - their island was rife with strife from an adjacent invading island nation. After a period of introspection, they settle on an identity as a Magandalak. Isagani’s mother fell to an ill fated death due to a building’s collapse during a mage’s attack, resulting in his rise to the position of the small nation’s Babaylan. However, his time spent in this role was wrought with failure as the war came to a close and the land he oversaw fell to a new nation’s authority. Expulsion from his position led to Isagani’s flee to Regalia.
@Volaie Rereview for sihai update, changed name to be more distinct, removed roguery, mild concept/backstory adjustments
