The Varsh
08-16-10, 03:32 AM
Name: Varsh Azarian
Age: 24
Race: Human
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Light Blue
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 185 lbs.
Occupation: Currently a wanderer, exploring the world of Althanas and all of it's wonders.
Personality: Varsh is a cocky and brash young man. He is very charismatic, usually able to put people at ease quickly. He is generally a nice person unless a challenge is put forth to him or he feels threatened. While his general tendency is to be pleasant around new people, he gets "vibes" from certain people that put him off of them almost immediately. This most likely has to do with his link to the Dreaming World (see history).
Appearance: Varsh has tan skin (think Native American) with dark hair that has grown out during his travels. His light blue eyes are piercing, almost as if they peer into you rather than at you. His 5'11", 185 lb. frame has been tempered with almost constant travel.
History: Varsh hails from a tribal society with ties to the Dreaming World, the world where all creatures go when they slumber. His tribe is home to a select few known as Dream Weavers, renowned for their ability to interpret the dreams of others and cure recurring nightmares. Varsh was born to Ara and Siran Azarian. Ara (father) was one of the most renowned of Dream Weavers, having helped and advised other tribal leaders and many people the world over. From the age of 3, Varsh was told of what his father did and that he was expected to follow in his footsteps.
However, at age 4, Tir (his peoples God of Dreams) came to Varsh while he slept. Tir took Varsh on a jouney through the Dreaming World, showing him amazing wonders and the dreams of many people. When Varsh awoke, he could scarcely contain his excitement as he told his mother and father. Immediately Varsh's father took him to the tribe chief who informed them that Varsh was to be a Dream Walker. The chief explained that a Dream Walker was one who traversed the Dreaming World helping those who needed it through their dreams or freeing the innocent from the grips of their worst nightmares. From that point on, Varsh was groomed for this most honorable position. For the next 14 years, he was treated as a person of immense importance. People would defer to him, and he was given the best of everything without having to work for it. However, he felt a deep stirring of worry inside of him. He did not ask for this gift, and he cursed Tir for having come to him.
So it was that two weeks before his 18th birthday (the day that he would take up his position as Dream Walker) he left in the night, carrying only what he thought he would need. He did not look back as he left everything he'd known behind him. He would see the world. Not the world through the Dreaming, but as it really was. Awake, and alive. He has travelled the world since then, living off of the land and using his charm and personality to win odd jobs or offerings from kind strangers. However, his destiny would not be so easily shrugged off. As he reached his 23rd birthday, he began to have dreams of his walk with Tir as a child. At first it was a rare dream, but he began having it more and more to where it is now nightly that he wanders the Dreaming World.
Skills: Varsh has charm and wit in spades. He uses this mostly to get jobs or a few bucks with which to continue his journey. His martial skill with his blades is amateur at best. He's had little need to use them on his travels. His only other skill is Dream Walking. During the night, he can walk through the Dreaming World (aka Dreaming). At present he has little to no control over what dreams he views and what he learns from it as it is his latent and shunned ability coming through.
Equipment: 2 steel short swords, sleeping bag, flint and steel, waterskin.
