Weakness: Moderate arthritis. She is an obligate carnivore and cannot function without fresh meat, although it may be cooked. She cannot see red or brown very well, and bright light removes a lot of the detail that humans are used to seeing. Every year (about December) she must hibernate (or aestivate depending on climate) for two weeks, during which time she is completely helpless. She chills easily. She CANNOT use ANY human medications, at best they will make her sicker, at worst they will kill her. Magic or time is all she can have to heal herself by.
Magic: She has very, very limited magic abilities. She can light dry tinder, cast a light about as bright as a household flashlight for several minutes, and heal small wounds. If we'd consider seeing a doctor for it, the best she can do is discourage infection and encourage it to close a little bit.
Part 1: The Basics
1. What is your full name? Kiziah of Dahnil Clan
2. Where and when were you born? The Katzu Territories, Africa, late 1700's
3. Who are/were your parents? (Know their names, occupations, personalities, etc.)
4. Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like? Two brothers, both older. They are the beloved banes of my life, despite there being twenty full years between me and Darin, fifty between me and Erlid. Darin is outgoing and very verbal, a trader born. Erlid is a weaver and can cart the sticks of his loom and whole swaths of cloth as easily as I do my spear.
5. Where do you live now, and with whom? Describe the place and the person/people. I am trapped in this house. I do not know the others here.
6. What is your occupation? Hunter
7. Write a full physical description of yourself. You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks. Kiziah stands at six foot, six inches in her bare feet (and as she owns no shoes, she's always in her bare feet). She is a hunter, and works her body unrelentingly under hot savannah skies; because of that she hasn't got high body-fat. Her breasts are very small, but her hips are large due to the heavy musculature of her legs and ass. She is, frankly, pear-shaped. It works for her. Her muscles are obvious, not at the level of a body-builder, but at the level of a runner who does heavy physical labour. Her hair is course and black, she braids it back away from her face and cuts the braids off at her shoulders. Her eyes are a dark green, a perfectly ordinary colour for people of her Clan. Her skin is a dark, deep brown.
She has several large, ugly scars on her body. They are ragged, white tears in the darkness of her skin. One is on her upper left thigh, where she appears to have been gored at some point. One is on her ribcage alongside her left breast and back under her arm, that one looks like a cutting implement or spear of some sort. The last is the oldest and most faded, a jagged thing along her right palm and forearm.
Kiziah is striking, at best, more often she'd be called plain. Her face is long and horse-like, with high and sharp cheekbones, a nose like a battle-axe, and skin that has weathered nearly sixty years under the hot sun. It's not wrinkled like a human's would be under the same circumstances, but it's certainly not the kind of perfect skin that lotion commercials would have you think of.
8. To which social class do you belong? I am Katzu
9. Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses? Moderate arthritis. She is an obligate carnivore and cannot function without fresh meat, although it may be cooked. She cannot see red or brown very well, and bright light removes a lot of the detail that humans are used to seeing. Every year (about December) she must hibernate (or aestivate depending on climate) for two weeks, during which time she is completely helpless. She chills easily. She CANNOT use ANY human medications, at best they will make her sicker, at worst they will kill her. Magic or time is all she can have to heal herself by.
10. Are you right- or left-handed? Ambidextrous
11. What does your voice sound like? Low and deep
12. What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently? I rarely use contractions.
13. What do you have in your pockets? Pockets?
14. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics? I watch. I am always watching for things that might attack. I stand far too still for many humans comfort.
Part 2: Growing Up
15. How would you describe your childhood in general? I was a beloved child of the Clan. It was a good childhood, as most Katzu childhoods are good.
16. What is your earliest memory? Mama holding me against her shoulder as I dozed off.
17. How much schooling have you had? None.
18. Did you enjoy school? I have had no formal schooling.
19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities? Through life! From friends and family and trial by error.
20. While growing up, did you have any role models? I always knew I wanted to be like the hunters.
21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family? I got along well with them, although I annoyed my brothers by always wanting to be where they were.
22. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up? A hunter.
23. As a child, what were your favorite activities? Stalking and killing small prey, carrying things for my brothers.
24. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display? I was reserved, but loyal. Much like a cat.
25. As a child, were you popular? Who were your friends, and what were they like? There were not many of us in my age-range, so all of us spent time together. I was one of only ten children in my entire birth year in Dahnil Clan, although the year before and after me had slightly more.
26. When and with whom was your first kiss? Therit of Falna Clan, upon the occasion of my eighteenth birthday.
27. Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity? I am not. Therit and I met up again some years later and introduced each other to sexuality.
28. If you are a supernatural being, tell the story of how you became what you are or first learned of your own abilities. I took the normal lessons in magics and found I had little talent for them. It is no matter to me.
Part 3: Past Influences
29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far? Finding myself in this house.
30. Who has had the most influence on you? Dalisha of Dahnil, the head of the hunters.

32. What is your greatest regret? That I am childless so far.
33. What is the most evil thing you have ever done? I have never done an evil act. (She really hasn't.)

35. When was the time you were the most frightened? Upon finding out that I am the only Katzu in the house.
36. What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you? I once missed an antelope from barely far enough away to make a bow useful.
37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why? I would tell my mother one more time that I love her.
38. What is your best memory? The sun rising over the savannah slowly illuminating the herds of prey that live upon it.

Part 4: Beliefs And Opinions
40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic? I am a realist, judging by what seems most likely.
41. What is your greatest fear? To be alone, without family or Clan. I am realising that now.
42. What are your religious views? I have none.
43. What are your political views? Katzu have none.
44. What are your views on sex? That it is a great deal of fun and I would like to have more of it.
45. Are you able to kill? Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable? I am a hunter. I kill to live and live to kill. I do not kill sentients unless they are attempting to kill me first.
47. Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love? Yes, of course.
48. What do you believe makes a successful life? To live well, doing what you are best at and helping others to be the best that they can be.
49. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings (i.e. do you hide your true self from others, and in what way)? I am very honest, and very blunt.
50. Do you have any biases or prejudices? ...Apparently I am slightly speciesest against humans. They are so weak and slow.
51. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it? I would not betray the Clans.
52. Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)? The Katzu people.
Part 5: Relationships With Others
53. In general, how do you treat others (politely, rudely, by keeping them at a distance, etc.)? Does your treatment of them change depending on how well you know them, and if so, how? I am very shy and hold myself in reserve. If I know people well I am less reserved, although I am always slightly formal.
54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why? I would have to say Sannish. He is very young, but if he grows up well I might be willing to wed him.
55. Who is the person you respect the most, and why? My father. He has never looked backwards for longer than it takes to learn the lessons he needs, he lives for the future by making the most of every moment of the present.
56. Who are your friends? Do you have a best friend? Describe these people. My friends are mostly other hunters. We meet at rather random intervals while hunting, and tend to gather around the same few fires if we are back with the Clan to trade hunting stories. I would not say that I have a best friend.
57. Do you have a spouse or significant other? If so, describe this person. I do not at this time.
58. Have you ever been in love? If so, describe what happened. I have not. I have been deeply in like, but I have not been in love.
59. What do you look for in a potential lover? Good legs. A lover is not a life-partner, they can be just for fun.
60. How close are you to your family? Extremely! I am Katzu, we live for family and Clan.
61. Have you started your own family? If so, describe them. If not, do you want to? Why or why not? So far I have been unable to conceive. I desperately want children, not only for my species but also because I adore them and wish to be a mother.
62. Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help? My family. They would drop anything for me. After them, the Clan.
63. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Who, and why? I trust that any Katzu would help me if I needed protection. The Clans do not fight, there are not enough of us.
64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you? My family and the hunters of Dahnil.
65. Who is the person you despise the most, and why? Despise is a strong word. I would not use it. I am not fond of Lesharn, he has a sharp tongue.
66. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict? I prefer to avoid conflict and will not argue unless it is something I feel most strongly on.
67. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations? No.
68. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Why or why not? I am shy. I do not like to deal with too many people at a time, I feel awkward and out of place.
69. Do you care what others think of you? I wish I could answer no, but it is not true. I like to be liked.
Part 6: Likes And Dislikes
70. What is/are your favorite hobbies and pastimes? I make bone jewellery. I flatter myself that it is not bad.
71. What is your most treasured possession? Possessions are not to be treasured, really. I am fond of my jewellery.
72. What is your favorite color? Chartreuse
73. What is your favorite food? Wild hare
74. What, if anything, do you like to read? I will read anything that I can! There is not much to read in the Territories.
75. What is your idea of good entertainment (consider music, movies, art, etc.)? Dancing, with others. Alone I enjoy watching animals.
76. Do you smoke, drink, or use drugs? If so, why? Do you want to quit? No. The body is all I have.
77. How do you spend a typical Saturday night? What is a Saturday? I spend nights either at home with family, or hunting.
78. What makes you laugh? I enjoy plays on words, and hearing about people failing amusingly at hunting so long as they are not hurt.
79. What, if anything, shocks or offends you? The fact that there are people who just kill other people. I know that it happens, but it remains shocking and offensive. Even the Katzu sometimes throw such degenerates and it is...wrong. It is wrong.
80. What would you do if you had insomnia and had to find something to do to amuse yourself? I do not know that word, insomnia.
81. How do you deal with stress? I run, or I carve exceedingly intricate beads.
82. Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan? I like plans, but am not wedded to them.
83. What are your pet peeves? People who do not use all of what they kill. People who have loud, disorderly fights.
Part 7: Self Images And Etc.
84. Describe the routine of a normal day for you. How do you feel when this routine is disrupted? I awaken near dawn and eat with my family. I range out from the clan in search of prey, leaving those animals which are too small to feed at least seven people, this may take several days. I sleep about four hours before dawn.
85. What is your greatest strength as a person? I am even-tempered.
86. What is your greatest weakness? I am perhaps a bit too willing to follow others.
87. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? I would like to be less shy.
88. Are you generally introverted or extroverted? Introverted.
89. Are you generally organized or messy? Organised.
90. Name three things you consider yourself to be very good at, and three things you consider yourself to be very bad at. I am a very good hunter, a good friend, and a good listener. I am a very bad mediator, a bad weaver, and a bad merchant.
91. Do you like yourself? I do.
92. What are your reasons for being an adventurer (or doing the strange and heroic things that RPG characters do)? Are your real reasons for doing this different than the ones you tell people in public? I am a hunter. I hunt. I am no adventurer, I am just a normal person.
93. What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime? I want children to help expand the Katzu.
94. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Hunting! I am young yet, and barely begun my life.
95. If you could choose, how would you want to die? In the family tent, surrounded by children.
96. If you knew you were going to die in 24 hours, name three things you would do in the time you had left. I would say goodbye to my loved ones, I would pick out where I should be buried, and I would have a party to celebrate my life before it goes.
97. What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death? Being a good mother.
98. What three words best describe your personality? Shy, kind, determined
99. What three words would others probably use to describe you? Reserved, quiet, dangerous
100. If you could, what advice would you, the player/writer, give to your character? (You might even want to speak as if he or she were sitting right here in front of you, and use proper tone so he or she might heed your advice...) Being shy is one thing, but you've got to make sure you keep talking to people. Don't let your shyness get in the way of that! I know that nobody else is Katzu, but you're going to have to depend on them anyway. Get over your species-ism and accept help.

Part 6: Likes And Dislikes
70. What is/are your favorite hobbies and pastimes? I make bone jewellery. I flatter myself that it is not bad.

72. What is your favorite color? Chartreuse
73. What is your favorite food? Wild hare
74. What, if anything, do you like to read? I will read anything that I can! There is not much to read in the Territories.
75. What is your idea of good entertainment (consider music, movies, art, etc.)? Dancing, with others. Alone I enjoy watching animals.
76. Do you smoke, drink, or use drugs? If so, why? Do you want to quit? No. The body is all I have.
77. How do you spend a typical Saturday night? What is a Saturday? I spend nights either at home with family, or hunting.
78. What makes you laugh? I enjoy plays on words, and hearing about people failing amusingly at hunting so long as they are not hurt.
79. What, if anything, shocks or offends you? The fact that there are people who just kill other people. I know that it happens, but it remains shocking and offensive. Even the Katzu sometimes throw such degenerates and it is...wrong. It is wrong.

82. Are you spontaneous, or do you always need to have a plan? I like plans, but am not wedded to them.
83. What are your pet peeves? People who do not use all of what they kill. People who have loud, disorderly fights.
Part 7: Self Images And Etc.
84. Describe the routine of a normal day for you. How do you feel when this routine is disrupted? I awaken near dawn and eat with my family. I range out from the clan in search of prey, leaving those animals which are too small to feed at least seven people, this may take several days. I sleep about four hours before dawn.
85. What is your greatest strength as a person? I am even-tempered.
86. What is your greatest weakness? I am perhaps a bit too willing to follow others.
87. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? I would like to be less shy.
88. Are you generally introverted or extroverted? Introverted.
89. Are you generally organized or messy? Organised.
90. Name three things you consider yourself to be very good at, and three things you consider yourself to be very bad at. I am a very good hunter, a good friend, and a good listener. I am a very bad mediator, a bad weaver, and a bad merchant.
91. Do you like yourself? I do.
92. What are your reasons for being an adventurer (or doing the strange and heroic things that RPG characters do)? Are your real reasons for doing this different than the ones you tell people in public? I am a hunter. I hunt. I am no adventurer, I am just a normal person.
93. What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime? I want children to help expand the Katzu.
94. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Hunting! I am young yet, and barely begun my life.
95. If you could choose, how would you want to die? In the family tent, surrounded by children.
96. If you knew you were going to die in 24 hours, name three things you would do in the time you had left. I would say goodbye to my loved ones, I would pick out where I should be buried, and I would have a party to celebrate my life before it goes.
97. What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death? Being a good mother.
98. What three words best describe your personality? Shy, kind, determined
99. What three words would others probably use to describe you? Reserved, quiet, dangerous
100. If you could, what advice would you, the player/writer, give to your character? (You might even want to speak as if he or she were sitting right here in front of you, and use proper tone so he or she might heed your advice...) Being shy is one thing, but you've got to make sure you keep talking to people. Don't let your shyness get in the way of that! I know that nobody else is Katzu, but you're going to have to depend on them anyway. Get over your species-ism and accept help.
