Other Terris

[Cʀʏsᴛᴀʟ]

Most Terrismen are eunuchs and are trained from birth to become stewards for high nobility. Women are usually part of strictly controlled breeding programs, the Lord Ruler's attempt to breed Feruchemy out of the population, until they reach a certain age.

Kindrake



Username: Crystal
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Species: Human
Rank: Terrisman
Location: Unknown

Personality: Kindrake, or simply Drake, has always been a quiet man. He doesn't say much, so every word he says carries that much more weight. Drake is intense for such a young man; you can see it in his eyes when you look at him. He'll smile, quite often actually, but there's always a lingering sadness about it. He's been through a lot, and it shows. He's also the perfect image of a gentleman, perhaps coming from his time acting as a Terris steward. They always do seem to be overly polite.

Appearance: Drake has very fair blond hair, almost silver in the right lighting. His eyes, blue, are as pale as his hair, creating a haunting effect. He has somewhat delicate features, in contrast to his stoic personality. He's anything but delicate. Drake could be considered handsome, but something about his air keeps people from commenting on this. If there was anyone who is more than just the surface, it's this young man. Something that always draws attention is the fact that Drake actually wears metal 'sleeves' that go all the way up his arms. Specially crafted by an expert blacksmith, the small panels of different metals are designed to allow for free movement. They are, in a way, a type of armor, but more importantly they're his metalminds. Each sleeve is made up of eight different metals, all the known Feruchemist metals except copper, which is perhaps a silent slight to the Keepers. Allomancers have tried to use the metal sleeves against him, attempting to pull or push on them, only to find it has no effect. Knowing that metals inside the body can't be affected by Allomancy, Drake designed them to piece his arms in several places. Somewhat like a simple earring, this prevents Allomancers from pushing or pulling on them. At first, the metal piercing his skin and muscles hurt, but it's become a part of him now, something he hardly notices. It is, after all, worth it.

History: Kindrake was born to a Terris breeder woman. With the help of the Keepers, she immediately hid him away, reporting his birth as a miscarriage. This was found out to be a lie shortly after, and Drake had already been carefully hidden, but his mother was killed for her 'treason.' Drake was raised in secret by the Keepers, eventually--and almost miraculously--displaying the powers of a Feruchemist. Over time, he came one of the best of them. He never felt he was truly part of their society, scholars focused on collecting and saving information. History, religion, science. Drake's anger over his mother made him a warrior, not a scholar. While the others tried to get him to focus on creating his copperminds, he was far more interested in practicing with storing strength, senses, health, and speed. Eventually, he was forced to leave the Keepers, in part because they cast him out for disobedience, and in part because he simply longed to go. In a way, they did him a favor by cutting him loose. Drake traveled south, moving across the empire and eventually finding himself in the Central Dominance. He somewhat made a home for himself in a small village, until a group of bandits led by Kai Burch ransacked and destroyed it, killing most of its inhabitants. He disappeared into the wind, moving across the dominance in search of his self-proclaimed nemesis. Now he's just a rumor, a shadow in the night, the man that appears out of nowhere and dissolves back into the mists. A hero, but one without a face or name.
