    Appearance Information
    Mutations

    Issa has no mutations

    Appearance
    Although he spends all of his time in his Sofawaati form, when outside of it, Issa has an androgynous face with pale white hair and dark ebony horns; whilst he wears simple, un-elegant clothing, Issa also tends to carry with him his mother’s old lyre, which he never parts with.

    Shifts
    Sofawaati Form:
    Issa’s Sofawaati form is the face he shows to the world, standing at an intimidating 6’11” with his body covered in ebony scales, hard as steel. Oftentimes he will employ use of traditional Songaskian body paints to brighten up his appearance, although he will sometimes employ colors beyond gold, mainly colors corresponding with the various dragon thrones.

    Life Story
    Background

    • Issa was the child of a reformed Songaskian corsair and a Bentyia-trained mage, raised within a dual-faith household (Unionism and Dragon Worship) in a bustling port city in the South Kassar Isles.
    • Being born a Black Walker, Issa was raised most of his childhood amongst the teachings of the Bentyia Priesthood, learning to fight and becoming ingrained with the culture of his homeland.
    • With the start of the Songaskia War, Issa volunteered to fight alongside the Regalians of the South Kassar Isles, standing with them against the invaders of Farah’deen, despite his heritage.
    • At the war’s end, Issa was left struggling with death and the futility of life. He set off searching and found his spirit again in music and art, reinvigorating his faith.

    Regalia
    Issa has found himself in Regalia after the Bralona Invasion drew him to the fight, lending his blade to fight against the Iconoclasts. He’s since remained per the influx of undead that roam throughout the city, hoping that he might help stem the tide and help inspire a love of life even in a hectic time.

    @fantuinn Hey! Updated Issa to shift him away from gunsmithing to give him some shielding and Bentyia to show his connection to his ancestral roots. Updated his backstory a little bit to show both the prof changes and establish a little better just why Issa is agnostic.

    @fantuinn Hey, look at that, I made that random blurb in the title actually make sense now! Both a major yet really not-so-major rewrite for Issa. Decided to shift him from “Soldier #2789” to a dragon-themed performer who uses his experiences in war to help uplift and protect others. Hopefully everything is in order!

    Hey! Decided to get around to updating Issa to the some of the new proficiency stuff. Changed around his profs currently to give him more of a combat identity as an “undead hunter” rather than just a generic spellblade. Still keeping him being a traveling warrior-poet, though, just emphasizing him actually fighting for life. I also dipped him out of magic and more into Wisdom stuff for now since I’m not sure what the new Dragon Worship update will bring. Cheers!

    @Mollymock Hey! Updating Issa per the recent changes to some of his proficiencies (aka the removal of Bentyia Wisdom), alongside updating his religion section to be in-line with Dragon Worship updates. Hopefully all is good here. I’m probably going to update him again once the Ordial update is released and the Marik Archon is released as well.

    @Mollymock Hi! I’ve updated Issa with the release of the Black Walkers. Altered his proficiencies slightly and changed some parts of his background, hopefully all should be in order!
