[QUOTE="BudroThePious, post: 5974924, member: 6696583"] [sblock=Background]Jhiv Viratek (Zjheeve Veeratekh) was born to the seas and the seas recognize him as their own. Jhiv was born in the region known as the Shackles and has been in and around the ocean his whole life. Born during the worst hurricane in living memory, Jhiv was washed overboard from the ship his mother was on and found by merfolk who delivered him to a druid that they had become familiar with. This druid would come to be one of Jhiv’s mentors and role models. In between lessons with his mentor Jhiv spent his time in the nearby small towns, always being drawn to the docks and the sea. Jhiv’ s blue skin and fin-like ears guaranteed that he was noticed but his quick wits and agile ways kept him from being the target of too much trouble. Just the same, Jhiv picked up some habits and skills while running with the street rats and dock urchins that are hard to get anywhere else. Jhiv was noticed down in the docks for more than just blue skin. The water itself seemed to recognize him whenever he was near it, with larger than normal waves cresting over the docks just to lap at his feet. It was not at all uncommon to see a an otter gamboling along in his wake or a great shark that had no business in a port break the surface and stare around with the dead eyes of a killer before spotting Jhiv and swimming over to be petted. With his knowledge of both the unforgiving depths of the sea and the ways of the salted docks it was a surprise to no one that knew him that Jhiv would answer the call of the sea. As Jhiv has an intense bond with the sea and is fairly useful to have on a ship he has traveled extensively throughout the area in his 72 years, from Ilizmagorti, Hyrantam and the Black Flow in the north to Eledar and the edges of the Laughing Forest in the south. Jhiv does not concern himself with the affairs of the gods on a normal basis, but he is aware of the connection people continue to make between him and Besmara. Sea creatures do tend to react to him more strongly than can easily be explained by just being a druid and his connection to the water is particularly strong even for an undine. Jhiv does not offer praise to Besmara or carry her symbol with him but he has a healthy respect for the goddess and is aware that he may yet play some part in her plans. Jhiv does not worry about this overly much because even if he wanted to there is nothing he can do that would dissuade a deity that has made up her mind.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
