Character Creation: Concept

Character

• A native of the Island of Manta, a rival of Azure before being annexed centuries ago. He is a known patron of Diving Sea Snake Casino, The God of Dice Plentimon's peronsal casino. One of many reasons being a privateer never made him wealthy.
• Once a privateer for The Azurite Empire, a Judge Magistrate punished him for freeing slaves rather than bringing them to Azures famed slave market. Magistrate Sem Teong is known to be hunting the Maw of Siakal and his alleged membership there may have been a factor in his harsh punishment.
• Was executed by Fourth-Echelon Magistrate Sem Teong of Azure by being thrown into The Kraken Pool.
• The reputation for freeing slaves of ships and returning only with material loot to Azure was considered treason.
• He considered himself a member of The Maw of Siakal, a secret religious sect in Azure that disobeys the formal religious edict and worships The War God Siakal in secret, as opposed to The Ocean Father.
• His god Exalted and saved him from The Kraken Pool, with the help of Siakal to sow the seeds of revolution across the west. Siakal may have Exalted him herself, but preferred The God of Revolution take the hit of passing on part of his power.
• Siakal stole the spark of exigence from a rival western God, but allowed his patron to use it to repay the favor. but siakal is more clever than that... she wanted to be able to deny stealing the spark and it provided her additional deniability. she did not want to diminish herself at this critical juncture for power and control in the West so she needed another good to take the hot for her and she had few allies. Meanwhile she would get much of the benefit of his exalted presence. Siakal also helped his patron share the burden of the exaltation, this let siakal put just a bit of hey blood thirsty touches into the exigence.
• Siakal and his patron are close enough aligned to not make him a patch work exigent, but he cares some marks of the combination like a patchwork would. Gills and shark teeth?
• Because he is an illicit exigent he is not as closely aligned with his patrons as some other Exigents.
• On the side of the conflict that supports open sourcing the ability to Exalt mortals. What better way to allow the oppressed to rise up against the oppressors than to give them the ability to Exalt.

God

• The Western God of Revolution and Righteous Vengeance, The Flame of the Ocean, The Mutineers Prince, Patron of Revolution, Violent Uprising, Just Vengeance, and Mutineers.
• A minor god in The Ocean Court and Western Division of War, who is often suppressed by their fellow gods for fear they would destabilize the region.
• Longtime ally of Siakal, Western Goddess of Battle and Bloodshed who centuries ago helped to demote The Ocean Father as The Great Western God of the Sea, who Siakal wants to replace.
• Considers themselves a righteous God of the downtrodden people of Creation, a figure of hope that inspires the downtrodden to take up arms against their oppressors and bring righteous revolution.
• Often receives worship from slaves and captives. But also mutineers who pray that if their mutiney is considered just it will go unpunished by the gods.
• "It is the ambition of his god that he will not only be a spark to the powder keg that is The West, fueling revolution and bloodshed - but more importantly shine a light on the good such revolution brings.
• They have been looked down upon their entire existence. Originally simply The Mutineer's Prince the Good of Mutiny which is a grave sin to most in the west, it was with Siakal's help they were elevated to The Western God of Revolution and Righteous Vengeance - though that title is somewhat self promoted. Now the god again hopes to move up in the Celestial Hierarchy both by graining power by sowing revolution in the west, but also gaining respect and legitimacy by showing that revolution can benefit Creation. The Ocean Father would never allow such advancement which has made Siakal a natural, if delicate ally. "
