Character Creation: Concept

Character

• A native of the Island of Manta, a rival of Azure before being annexed centuries ago.
• Born and raised on the docks of Manta City, he was an orphan boy forced to fend for himself from a young age. His first concept of family was the first privateer crew and ship that allowed him aboard at a young age, in no small part because the crew was superstitious enough to believe Mantanese sailors brought Plentimon’s good luck.
• 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.
• A privateer for The Azurite Empire, a Fourth-Echelon Magistrate Sem Teong punished him for freeing slaves rather than bringing them to Azures famed slave market. Fourth-Echelon Magistrate Sem Teong is known to be hunting the Maw of Siakal.
• Fourth-Echelon Magistrate Sem Teong punished sentenced him to execution by being thrown into The Kraken Pool.
• He is a known patron of Diving Sea Snake Casino, The God of Dice Plentimon's personal casino. One of many reasons being a privateer never made him wealthy.

• 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 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 god to take the heat 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.

• MA: Either Righteous Devil Style or Swaying Grass Dancer Style

God

The ancient God of Mutiny, Typharos, has never been respected by his peers. An outcast who's place in heaven is secure, because so few covet it. When the bronze faction approached him for his help at the twilight of the first age as they planned The Usurpation, he listened to their sweet words and full promises and when the Dragon Blooded of the West rose up against their Solar captains, they did so with all the blessings and might the god could muster. No small number of Solar captains met their end in the Western seas, but so too did many of the mutineers feed the siakas of the West with their spilled blood, sowing the seeds of an uneasy future alliance.

The Bronze Faction and their allies could convey titles, and so The God of Mutiny became The Flame of the Ocean,The Western God of Revolution and Violent Uprisings. However, they could not convey the respect of his Godly peers, and many, especially those less aligned with The Bronze Faction, did not give him any more respect than before. Behind his back, they called him The Mutineers Prince, and eventually the mockery became an open only slightly rude alias. The tighter he attempted to grip the respect he felt his new title should have brought, the more it slipped away and his resentment for both sides grew.

• 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. "
