Cloudiwolf

It was a glorious summer day when the kha’cheetrah started her journey, but the warm sun did nothing to touch her cold heart. The pale feline humanoid had just lost both her Munna & Patta. She suddenly found herself lost in the world. With no littermates, and no known relatives Sa’Ezelda had found herself terribly alone. The kha’cheetrah knew not what to do at first, but as she wandered alone, numb to the birdsong and warm life-giving sunlight, she realized she was headed to the kha homeland, the ruined Khalenwyr.

Her journey took months, but she barely remembered it. The lone cheetrah had traveled the many miles in a haze of mourning, hardly stopping to eat and sleep. When she arrived on the island she was just as battered as her soul. She was filthy, her clothes battered, every bone prominent under her dull pelt. She couldn’t tell you how she had found a wayfinder for her journey, or anything of her walk or ride. Her feet pads were torn open, swollen and infected, and her natural tear tracks had nasty red staining next to them where the broken creature had cried endlessly. 

Somehow she managed to find herself in an uncollapsed temple before she fell. The young kha remembered flashes of her brethren caring for her, but no specifics as her feline body fought the infection and fatigue her mindless journey had bestowed upon her. 

She awoke with a start in the late spring on the island the kha had once called home. The death of her parents still weighed on her, but she found the burden bearable and her mind clear. That same night she had a very vivid dream. A map of Arcus stretched before her, littered with the footprints of many kha. They appeared to travel from city to city together. The air grew heavy and filled with terrible racious laughter that sent a chill down Sa’Ezelda’s spine and made her feel as tiny as a newborn cub. The map of Arcus was washed away in blood. The cheetrah choked on the smell of it as it flooded her dream. The only thing left behind, as she awoke - terrified - was the footprints, marching from what used to be city to city. She could still taste the blood at the back of her throat for hours after she awoke, and she knew the dream would haunt her for a long time. 

Not long after the news of the Moon Goddess’ death was uncovered. Again the poor kha found herself shaken to the very core, but this time she found she had the strength and resilience to sort of cope with it. She mourned with her brethren their creators demise, and her heart was heavy with the death of her revered Metztli, but her mind stayed clear and she found purpose in the dream that still made her skin crawl.

Sa’Ezelda prepared for her great journey. She hunted prey for their hide, drying the skin into leathers that she stitched together with confident hands. Her work was solemn, even things she normally took great joy in, like fitting the leather to her frame or blowing the glass beads. When the kha’cheetrah was finished she stood clad in brightly decorated leathers. The glass beads were small and stitched tightly to her armor. It was teal, purple, and hunter’s green - Sa’Ezelda’s favorite colors. She wore the upturned trident over her heart in solemn memory of her moon mother but the rest of her garment bore symbols all her own. There was a pack on her slender back, heavy with the things she’d need for a long journey. Her departure from Khalenwyr was bittersweet. The beautiful island, flourishing with unique fauna and flora called to her heart as she walked away. It had been a home unlike and she had ever known, a refuge as she fell apart and pieced herself back together. But the kha’cheetrah did not look back with her dark green eyes. She was confident she needed to journey to Arcus at any cost, and that’s exactly what she did.

Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature:

Kha are digigrade catfolk created by the daemon Metzlti from experiments done on decendents and ocelots. This once great race was created to be her perfect children. Left scattered and forlorn from events and most recently from the discovery of the death of their beloved goddess, many kha – including Sa’Ezelda – now wonder lost without a true home. Many of Metzlti’s children have recently returned to Arcus from a pilgrimage to their once flourishing homeland.  Her children were broken down into four subraces of kha – with Kha’Cheetrah specializing in agility and speed. The moon is a much respected totem of the Moon Mother, with the phase of the moon one was born under holding great influence over the life of a kha. Sa’Ezelda for example was born on the cusp of the waxing quarter (the creator moon) and the waxing gibbous (the merchant moon).

If this construct or creature has some form of aesthetic choice, can you describe how they look? 

Sa’Ezelda is a tall, thin Kha’Cheetrah. She stands about 5’10 and weighs around 130 pounds. She has a small oval shaped head with large dark green eyes. Her cheekbones are fine and highly set. The kha has a fine boned structure all around, with clear collar bones and a high set lightly visible ribcage. Her arms, tail, and legs are all long and lithe. Her pelt is short and sleek, colored the palest gold. The Kha’Cheetrah has small ebony spots all along her body, with matching tear lines from her inner eye to her chin, and three rings around the tip of her tail. There is a thin line running from her chin down her throat, chest, and into her groin and inner upper thighs that is devoid of spotting. Sa’Ezelda has many piercings – all silver. Her small round ears are pierced three times on the left and twice on the right – both with thin rings. Her tail is pierced three times on the upperside of the tip – through the ebony rings. She also has dermal hip studs that are sometimes visible. 

This Kha’Cheetrah dress displays many of her favorite hobbies. Hunting has always been one of her favorite past times, and this is visible in her dyed leather garments. She often wears feathers hanging from her ear piercings – trophies from recent kills. Glassblowing is also a craft of hers, and many glass beads adorn her leathers – in many shapes and colors. Each bead is tied down through a hole through it, and her leathers are well tended so they don’t jingle. Most often Sa’Ezelda can be found barefoot – with silver cuffs visible around her ankles. Often this Kha’Cheetrah can be found with blue paint or dye in her fur. Most recently she has taken to lining her tear tracks in light blue to symbolize the great grief she feels for the death of her goddess. Sometimes she marks her forehead with the moon of her birth or stripes herself in paints. She is fond of many bright colors, but deep purple, teal, and hunter green tend to be her favorite.

I feel the need to chime in, as a Kha. I don’t know why Kha removal is being discussed – everything as of now seems like hearsay and rumors at best – but it seems like more work to remove them over not if it is simply a matter of lack of activity. If lack of proper lore is the issue I’m sure players would be willing to rally if it meant saving the Kha. I, for one, would be more than willing to donate my time to writing up proper lore. 

Save the Kha! 

Water gently flows over stone

Everyday etching it softly

Billions of droplets honed

Into one fearsome entity

Water nourishes bodies

Allowing life to flourish

Without some water everybody dies

Water is home to thousands of fish

Water rushes through a turbine

Generating power to cities

Water allows your life and mine

and all our earth pals, giants and minis. 

Thank you water for your role

Universally useful that you are 

Without you Earth would be dull

You’re definitely our shining star.

Creator's RP Name:

         Metztli

Briefly explain the lore behind this construct or creature:

The Kharajyr, or more simply Kha, are a race of bipedal cat-like humanoids created by a daemon named Metzli. The Kha worship the daemon creator. They are broken up into four subspecies – Leparda, Cheetrah, Pantera, and Tigrasi. The Kha’Leparda are the most generic of these subspecies, tending to not excel in speed or strength but to be more of a jack of all trades. 

Kha have fur instead of hair (except on the top of the head where females can grow hair and males can grow manes) so it grows to a certain length and then sheds. They also have claws, heightened senses, and a tail – all relics of their feral ancestry. They also have their own form of speech, an accent if you will, and are known to speak in third person.
