Though born as a son of the spice trader and raised by the acolytes of his village's temple, Aussirmolik was destined for greatness. At least that's what he was told and constantly reminded of: "marked by the Great Sky Serpent", "messenger of the Spirit Realm", "moon child" and so on and so on. It's all because people in that region believe, that a child born at the night of full moon, scales the brightest colour of white, is a miracle bestowed by Sky above. And this miracle was something that the village was in a dire need of: plague-stricken and desolated it was on the verge of ruin, until this tiny spark of hope was lit anew. Now he trains and studies to not only become a new Head Priest of his village but to restore the former glory of his once magnificent home, all the wile trying to understand the nature of his "gift".

Aussirmolik has a curious and inquisitive mind, always ready to take in new information or to come up with some ideas of his own. He specializes in magic, especially healing, and different forms of divination, sometimes his "gift" kicks up, and he starts feeling and seeing things that are not there.

Most of his childhood and teenage years he spent cooped up in the temple, constantly studying and revising old records, different scrolls and occasional fiction book, now he wants to try a more "hands-on" approach to learning and to travel the world, while seeking further ways to develop. 

 

Has a terrible time expressing himself and actually connecting with others, his reclusive childhood and lack of genuine personal interaction (hard to have one when more than half of a village treats you as a living deity) resulted in his somewhat poor social skills. Behind his trained polite smile, there is little to no understanding of what is acceptable in a personal conversation, though he really wants to experience situations from his books.

    THis deserves all the comments. I love the textures and the color scheme. The linework is just solid! Not to mention the translucent fabric!

      Oh, thank you!

      This cape was really something, genuinely did not expect that it would be so hard to apply proper shading all while keeping the effect of translucency Tongue
