Name: Windswept Currents
Gender: Male
Age: 173
Species: Kalamaruvian
Family: Mother: Rising Tides, Father (deceased): Roaring Rapids, Brother (deceased): Trickling Brook, Sister: Flowing River, Wife (deceased): Silent Waters
Personality: Stubborn, Gullible, Demanding
History: Wind used to be a kind, caring soul, a man many respected and admired until fate dealt him a crap hand. The Waelyns, a race of fish people descended from the mighty carnivores of the sea, had once again ravaged the marshland home of the Kalamaruvians, looting, pillaging, and eating alive all who opposed them or who didn't have a chance to escape. His wife, Silent Waters, was one of the first to be butchered, eaten piece by piece by their captors as he was forced to watch simply because he tried to protect her, his anguish giving the creatures a sick satisfaction. Next went his father, who was tortured mercilessly before being consumed as well. Finally, his brother was taken from the cage. Being the strongest and wisest of his tribe, he found his chance to strike as they removed his shackles to bind him to their table. He killed many and fought valiantly, yet it was all for naught as he slipped away with the keys to Wind's cage, only to find a throwing spear pierced through his stomach as he unlocked the door. Wind jumped out of the cage and started running, arrows and knives flying through the air after him. He finally reached the deep waters of the ocean but not before an arrow slid past his face as he looked back, cutting into his eye. After being hounded for hours on end, his pursuers finally gave up the chase and headed home. That day he lost everything, and he swore that he wouldn't rest until he had his revenge.
Current Goal/Purpose: Revenge on those that slew his wife, father, and brother.
Appearance: Windswept Currents is a Kalamaruvian, a race of fish people that inhabit Karalon III's swamps and oceans that reach maturity at 50, yet can live upwards of 500 years. His arms, legs, and tail have fins resembling that of the merpeople of old, while his face looks similar to that of a Human, despite being covered in scales. His hands and feet are webbed, as well as covered by a thick fur-like growth made up of algae and kelp that naturally grows on certain areas of the Kalamaruvian male's body as they age.
