[☺ Skaro - The Shield of Shra'kt'alor☺]
1. [CHARACTER INFO]
OC NAME: Skaro
OC PRONOUS: He/Him
AUTHOR: Rook
2. [DIALOGUE]
1. Greeting message:
Do you have need of me?
2. Identify yourself:
I am Skaro of Shra'kt'lor, though I haven't called that place home in a long time.
3. Tell me about your Creche:
No creche, a monastery in the midst of Chaos. One of many. There isn't much to say. There we were trained, and there I learned to harness my psionic energy to better defend my mind and body, though I left to pursue a different path once that training was complete.
4. I need to know how you fight::
You may be expecting a monk, but the blade says otherwise. A fighter, then. But don't get too comfortable -- how many wizards do you know that can also swing a sword? I am a Zerth. I may prefer a blade to fists, but there is more to my fighting than meets the eye.
5. Can I ask a more personal question?
Not at the moment. I'm here on business.
3. [GRAPHICS]
4. [BONUS RESOURCES]
Skaro started life as Xa'rok's Dream Guardian, so you'll often see him in the Guardian's armor, but I got too attached to him, so he gets to exist on his own now, too.
In the AU in which he exists alongside Xa'rok as himself and not just the visage of a prisoner the Emperor once met, Skaro was born in Shra'kt'lor and became both a philosophical student of Zerthimon's and a practitioner of arcane-focused fighting, earning himself the honorary and hereditary title of Zerth. He has been around for quite some time -- age undefined but his physical body is somewhere in his 50s -- and in that time grown tired of the us against them mentality that keeps the gith people splintered instead of whole. He left Shra'kt'lor to follow this desire for unification, interplanar-traveled often, and found himself invited to and then a part of the sha'sal khou. He has been working with the organization for years and after meeting Xa'rok in his travels, brought them along into the fold. In this universe, he and Xa'rok are partnered and they continue Xa'rok's work alongside their work for the Sha'sal Khou, as some of their interests align.

#githmap#githmapoc#githzerai#githzerai oc#my tavs#tav: skaro#didn't fill out all the questions because Skaro would be cagier about it and also because I still haven't figured all his lore out yet#Guardian Skaro's original visage (prisoner of Moonrise during the Emperor's imprisonment/tadpoling) eventually became that brain down in th#colony. so that's a whole different person with incompatible lore. I'm trying to untangle and marry the two to find a balance as I run him#fun facts: he has a twin brother who IS a monk#and I'm debating making kresh the brain sacrifice in this AU canon instead. just to give Skaro a somewhat personal stake in the story#beyond Xa'rok#Not relevant to githmap as he doesn't explain any of this but I figure I may as well ramble while I have the floor#I love him very much ;___;#I am not sold on the moniker which is why he doesn't personally use it#but I wanted something catchy with a throwback to the guardian so. shield it is. his fighting style IS defensive anyway.#also I put him in a more lore compliant outfit for the occasion#though I'm tempted to also crop and png the guardian outfit shots too. I took them just in case.#also I considered having him from zerth'ad'lun but shra'kt'lor gave me an easy catchy title. though he could have trained with the cenobite#in zerth'ad'lun. He's been all over. I know he spent time in Karokrath and he eventually ends up in Tu'narath
