Kaan'ra Tchilzintaalliz Kzkaatli-Sankral
Inquisitrix Tchilzintaalliz Kzkaatli-Sankral (a.k.a. Kaanra)
6th child of a nameless family, Tchilzintaalliz was never expected to become anyone of note. None could have predicted that she would shed the life she was born into and become one of the great Blood Priests of the Vesikatli, and even the dying gods could not have predicted that she would shed those revered vestments in favor of Maxos' Order of the Unflinching Gaze. In spite of her humble birth, she now stands as one of the most feared of her order, and one of Maxos' most trusted lieutenants in all of the Gouge, and yet she finds herself worlds away from the land that birthed her, bearing no name but the generic calendar name she was given as an infant: Kaanra.
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
Kaanra stands at about 5'8", and though her clothing gives her a shapeless form, her bare arms suggest the lean, wiry grace of a practiced boxer. She is dressed in close fit canvas boots, baggy grey trousers and a sleeveless black greatcoat. She always keeps a length of cloth bound round her eyes but seems to have little trouble navigating. Both of her arms are coated in spiny crimson tattoos, the edges of which are lined with ritual scars. Her skin is deeply tanned, and her black hair is tied back in a complicated braided bun. She is rarely seen without her spiked cesti wrapped around her hands.
Identifying Characteristics
Kaanra is most easily identified by the spiny red tattoos wrapping around her arms, shoulder, neck and back, as well as the prodigious amount of scars (both ritual and accidental) covering her entire body. Most of the scars are concentrated on her arms, outlining the tattoos, marking her Blood Name on the back of her left hand, and coating the punching surface of her knuckles.
Mental characteristics
Morality & Philosophy
Kaanra firmly believes that regardless of whether it is right or not, the world belongs to the strong, and that one can either embrace that and earn their place or perish. She is also completely convicted that order is not something virtuous or ideal, but something that arises as a desperate reaction to overwhelming chaos. Both of these cornerstone beliefs come from her deeper belief that man is just another brute beast--a pathetic plaything of the gods rather than their favored creation--and becoming anything more requires an incredible amount of strength and dedication to doing just that, at any cost.
She does not worship the gods out of respect for them--in fact, it could be argued that she hates and resents them--but out of the realization that she is nothing compared to them, and that her options are to bend the knee to her superiors or die by their wrath.
Social
Religious Views
Kaanra is a firm believer in all the ancestral gods of the Gouge, but a devotee to Raantchlaan above all--having been a Blood Priest in her earlier years--and a reluctant servant to Maxos, who she refuses to acknowledge as anything more than an upstart human of great power.
