Character Name: Hikmat Eayan
Character Race: Alrifaq
Character Description/Image: Her skin is the color of the deepest blue sapphires; her two vibrant, almond-shaped eyes are the color of moonstones. Her skin is completely covered in sky-blue robes covered with ornate golden embroidery, except for her face and hands. While her hair his completely covered, her robes have small openings for her undecorated, ram-like horns. Instead of feet, she has hooves.
Character Personality: Hikmat is a reserved woman, fulfilling her duty to the Sultanate and speaking only when needed. Calm and collected, she is a peacekeeper who is always seeking answers, whether she voices it or not.
Character Flaws: Her distance from the lives of others, combined with her overreliance on her foresight, mean that she can come off as aloof and uncaring, especially in personal matters. Whether she admits it or not, she's conflicted; there's only so much that locking herself away and viewing glimpses of the future can fix.
Character Bio/Backstory:The daughter of two Alrifaq merchants, Hikmat grew up in between two worlds; one of the human-dominated Mekhallah, and one of Alrifaq mysticism and tradition. From a young age, Hikmat experienced psychic visions, glimpses of futures that could be. When her ability was discovered by local officials, her parents sent her away to be trained as advisor within the Sultanate, in hopes that her daughter would have a brighter future.
Hikmat acclimated well to the life of an advisor. Thanks to her parent's wealth, she could afford a thorough education, learning everything from mathematics to philosophy. As time went on, she gradually had more control over her foresight. As an independent magi, she offered her advice to numerous officials throughout the Sultanate, and she earned a reputation for her success in doing so. Gradually, she grew more and more distant from her homeland, dropping her traditional beliefs and customs. Mekhallah was a faint memory, a dream-like recollection of an older self...
Until now. With the Living Waste encroaching, Hikmat has been sent to speak with the leaders of Mekhalllah, in hopes of finding a solution to the crisis. Caught in the crossfire between rival magi factions, she will have to tread carefully as she works to save the Sultanate. In her mind, the fate of Melkhallah, and the entire Sultanate, is resting on her shoulders. She will face a difficult decision; will she follow her orders, fulfilling the role she was given and waiting idly by? Or will she take a more active stance in facing the threat that is the encroaching waste?
Character Skills and profession: A magi and advisor to various officials within the Sultanate. She has foresight, a magical ability that allows her to glimpse into possible futures. She is a skilled, albeit distant, diplomat. Her magic is mostly restricted to lesser moon magic, although she has secretly studied the ways of sun magic as well.
Additional information: She appears to glide wherever she moves (in a metaphorical sense). She somewhat looks down on mystics who use tea leaves and other "unreliable forms" of scrying. She almost always wears blue, velvet-like gloves. She is supportive of the idea of training "low-born" mages to help the Sultanate. She may or may not have a soft spot for cats.
