KUSH the Kish:
The son of a curate, Curate Tzayl (NG female kish mystic ; one who can best “speak” with the relics of the past) Kush is still young, and though trained to become a curate & a herb-gatherer by his mother, who help Kush worship the spirits of their ancestors by studying the ruins of civilization around them, Kush is hesitating and turning towards becoming a huntmaster, since he is quite physical and his father is a hunter. Also, the new ruler, Hoyfeq, is setting out on larger hunts of more dangerous beasts which Kush loves.
Kush has “converted” Kush has “converted” to the faith of his mother, Tzayl, the curate who received a vision from a deity she is calling “The Storyteller”, who may very well be an incarnation of Talavet.
Kush wants to travel out into the worlds beyond to gather knowledge and return to better understand the original purpose of the buildings and artefacts on Istamak. And maybe find out what accomplishments his ancient people must have done abroad. Also, since outsiders are now arriving, it is important the Kish know more about them. His mother, Tzayl, is pushing him to leave, to get him away from Hoyfeq’s influence.
His father gifted him an ancient suit of armor that is strong, protects against energy, and can even make one fly! He also entrusted him with his powerful magic handaxe, that his mother has further blessed. Kush has grafted two nodes within his hands, to give him more power, and will wear his father’s hunting ring, and his mother’s healing necklace, as well as an ancient book and symbol of Talavet.
He will take his thick coil of rope, his tool belt with its various kits, some made by himself, others found among all the ancient artefacts.
Some things about Kush:
Spoiler:
• What location was your favorite place to visit as a youth or adolescent? the Lichen Farm
Kush loved going there, and studying the kish murals.
Mainly because this is where his mother started a smaller garden with various other lichens and herbs than the ones for eating.
These were for medicinal purposes, and she taught Kush how to plant and collect and process them.
And Kush has been helping with making the paintings to explain all this.
• What location are you fearful of or otherwise had a particularly terrifying encounter at? the Cloudside Condominiums
Kush went to play there as a child, now and then, and once entered alone on a dare. He saw something that terrified him, so much he has blocked off what exactly appeared before him (maybe the answer to the mysterious reasons that make colonizing the place fail).
Now his mother, Tzayl, has taken up residence there the Talavet-worshipping Kish.
Could Kush's decision to leave the planet be linked to his fear of living in the Cloudside Condos'?
• When you are lucky enough to have a full belly and nothing to worry about, what small pleasures do you like to indulge in?
Kush loves to try and draw, and replicate all the frescoes and paintings made over time by his folk.
Or simply to lie down with his hands on his fully belly, and watch those paintings, and imagine what it was to be living at the time they were painted... and let his mind wander.
