[SIZE=10.5pt]---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Strengths:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Cunning and Unfeeling: Sahktan has never shown much care to the lives of his brothers, and has never had any issues with stepping on the shoulders of others to achieve his goals. He has been manipulating those around him since birth but is still very aware of when to play lackey to his superiors. This general lack of feelings and cunning slyness has gives him an advantage in battle as well. It allows him to kill, cleave, and injure without regret, as well as using cheap trick. To Sahktan, winning is the measure of a warrior.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]I shouldn’t have to explain this, I’m fast, I’m so fast: Being an Aeravalin, Sahktan is lighter and more slender than their brutish counterparts. Not only does this give him more speed on a physiological level, but he has also focused on this aspect of his combat ability over strength. This focus has granted him incredible speed with his polearm as well as several small blades.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Ambition: Although Sahktan would never consider betrayal, he is always on the lookout for advantages against peers, as well as ways to surpass them in favor of the Chieftain. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Weaknesses: [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Lack of durability: Sahktan must rely on speed and cunning in combat, if not, it would not take many blows to incapacitate or kill him. His slender frame and thinner skin allows for blades, blasters, and blunt weapons to deal more damage to him than his Baedurin counterparts.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Can someone turn the air on?: As with all members of the Aeravalin subspecies, heat is damaging and deadly, causing Aeravalin to fight better and thrive in colder environments, details are linked here (x)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Too much ambition: Curiosity killed the lothcat. Although Sahktan is adept at the political game, his ambition can get in the way of his people’s intentions, often causing him to hide his motives. This drive for power often causes issues with other shamans or superiors.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]APPEARANCE: [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Sahktan is a very tall and slender Aeravalin with dark blue and black skin. He has four orange eyes, his primary ones being much larger than the secondary ones, the back of his head is adorned with long spines that are flexible but sharp. He also has two weaker and smaller arms protruding from his abdomen. He wears little armor, just a few durasteel plates chained to his chest, back, and limbs, these are all adorned with red painted designs. He also sports a loincloth and a red painted streak across his face.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=8.5pt]BIOGRAPHY:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=8.5pt]Sahktan is quite unaware of his parentage, but was born in a high class medical facility with expensive and experienced staff. However, his parents felt fear as they gazed upon the offspring. They could not explain it, but in its presence they felt unsafe and disoriented. Sahktan was immediately shipped off to the[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Kad’Maera. Sahktan was of course taught the basics of their society, but was never the “top of his class” by any means. He always scraped by.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]But as time changed, Sahktan realized how much he enjoyed winning, and a few broken bones or deep cuts were of little consequence. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]In his mind, his goal is victory, so why not achieve it in anyway possible. So, he started winning more and more. A foot race to decide dinner portions? Sahktan would have no regrets about using one of his smaller arms to throw a sharp rock into the leg of his opponent. However he didn’t begin to truly understand the magnitude of his attitude towards winning until he began to notice, abilities. In a bit of practice melee, Sahktan began to feel a sort of calm wash over him, while this was happening, his opponent began to quiver. Almost out of instinct he extended his clawed hand towards the Baedurin opponent who dropped his weapon. Sahktan hissed, “Weak minded fool.” As he approached the fearful creature he twisted his dagger into the Baedurin’s side. Leaving it there and walking away. He had heard stories about mystics with powers, but his were different in a way. He could cause fear in the minds of the weak, as well as cast his will upon them.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Sahktan finished his training, being feared and respected among his peers. He was not the strongest or the highest ranked, but everyone felt a quiet fear that would creep into their minds when they saw him. Not long after, he was approached by high ranking members of the Seers, these few asked (ordered) that he be made a shaman as soon as possible. Sahktan put on a face of pride, but deep down he felt excitement for the torment and death he would bring upon the enemies of his people and himself. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Since Sahktan was made a shaman, he has yet to lead a force in combat, but has served as battlefield guard to his superiors, and has seen many campaigns against weak xenos. However, he now seeks genuine challenge, tasting the sweetness of power. Craving more every day.[/SIZE]
