- Visual Information:
Extra Body Description-
Multiple tattoos, an intricately made symbol of a manta ray with a sun in the inner part of the tattoo, to represent his achievement in becoming a masterful monk of Shambala.
- Head Description-
· He has a dark brown beard, which has highlights of gold and lighter brown throughout from being in the sun so much. His head drapes feathery wafts of hair that sways somewhat to the right, unless pulled back lazily with a ponytail, or braided intricately depending on the occasion.
· Kaale has a masculine face that shows some signs of stress in the eyes ad forehead. He has a large brow region, a romantic nose, somewhat crooked. His cheekbones are defined, and his lips are… luscious, under all that face fur. These features usually makes most confuse his age as being older than he truly is.
· His eyes are like a glowing sunset on the edge of a pearl city in Farah'deen, a deep glowing amber color . He has long, dark eyelashes. He employs a thoughtful and calm look in his eyes on a regular basis and the way his eyes glow seems to increase this intensity of thought. He has a minor scar going from just below his eye to to the brow. This was from a close call with some pale and unruly folk who ambushed him in Regalia when he first moved there. Luckily, he got away with his life and healed what he could
Clothing and Accessories-
-In his monk clothes, he wear a beautifully-sewn turquoise and gold shemagh, a dark sea green leather obi belt fastened to a turmeric-dyed silk pant. He has linen wraps on his arms, hands and his feet, complete with wooden sandals. There is a waterskin attached to his belt. For special occasions, he will wear a silk shirt, as to not be shirtless.
- His voice has a (Persian IRL) accent to it, speaking with a deep and calm flowing tone, and he sometimes adjusts his voice to his best impression of an Ailor. When he feels others are fearful or uneasy of him, he will raise his pitch slightly to sound more friendly.
- He speaks Sofaal (by his parents)
- Common (by his parents) (and after becoming a missionary)
(I chose to do both)
The Question List
- How would your character express Happiness and Contentedness?
- It is expressed in his hair that begins to glimmer more so, his smile widens, his body language expressing confidence. He will often eventually get close physically to those he is speaking with as if they're good friends, like putting an arm around them in comfort, if allowed.
- How would your character respond to experiencing Fear?
- He tries to remain calm and collected, even laughing in the face of fear, and try to rationalize the situation.
- Under true fright, he will try to fight and remember that his draconic ancestors will guide him, though he can rationalize if it's so much a threat to fight or run.
- How would your character respond to experiencing Stress?
- He becomes quiet and reserved when faced with what he sees as a real threat. He would begin to have overwhelming thoughts as he overthinks everything and internalizes his emotions.
- He simply wants peace with those who surround him. If they are not happy, what is he doing wrong to cause this? Is he not being a good enough friend. Did he miss something? A glare, an obvious sign of body language?

- How does your character feel about Races other than their own?
- He finds other creatures and Races interesting and if he has not met them, he will try to slyly enter himself in a conversation with them.

There were more than just Songaskian living in the monastery, and he was taught to respect others until they no longer deserve the same.
- How does your character feel about Religion for themselves, and other faiths?
- He finds religion is important to him, especially his own culture's religion. Other religions intrigue him, though only for expansion of knowledge.

Extended Life Story
·Sonder was born by the name Bazil Arra'tay , and lived with his fishermen-merchant parents in a comfortable commoner life in Korbamkora on the breezy Farah'deen coast until the age of 8 years. He learned bow fishing from his parents as well as how too play the lute until he left to the Shambala Monastery.
His mother's lineage crafted gourd lutes, a instrument of her Songaskian culture with her family's prowess in threadwork, creating silk and black iron strings that the instrument used. It is extremely resilient. Both parents of the family were brought up that singing of their people's history was an important part of keeping their culture alive through generations and celebrating the strides that Songaskians have made as a people. Bazil has grown up with these morals imprinted on him, encouraging him to take on a virtuoso lifestyle.
However, his parents saw something in him that made Bazil special. He possessed sorcery abilities from a young age, not strong or capable so young, but something that could be honed, so they decided it best to give him to the Shambala Monastery there.
After living in the monastery for 5 years and being accustomed to their ways, Bazil was given an intricate test that would decide his new Shambala name. He was given Sonder. He grew up there learning how to eventually master his sorcery and strengthen his physical and martial abilities. While living there, he became known for his natural musical talent, and gained the nickname Sonder The Song.
When he was 24, he was sent away to all parts of Farah'deen as a missionary to spread the good word of Shambala principles, philosophy and doctrine.
When he finished his mission, Sonder was given the choice to stay at the monastery or venture out. He decided to move to Regalia to strengthen ties with Regalian officials and citizens and share his music and religion with the world.
