Skai
- Name: Skai
- Age: 24
- Gender: Female.
- Race: Human
Appearance:
Fairly average by human standards, Skai is a petite 5'1 on a lightly built frame. Despite her small stature she's hardly fragile, having refined her skills at traveling the world's desert landscape. Her red hair and light brown eyes are a common feature among the more scattered races that spread out after Asis' fall. Skai keeps her clothing functional, well built woolen shirts and shorts, usually seen with a pair of goggles around her neck as well. Soft facial features with intent demeanor, Skai can be hard to judge on appearance alone.
Personality:
Straight forward, and not wasting words on anyone, Skai is a well balanced leader who knows when to take a back seat to the people around her. While not the most forward thinking person, she can work under restrictive situations and fix problems as they arrive. Highly concerned about those close to her, she will stand up to even stronger challengers to defend a friend. Under the confident exterior, Skai can be harsh on herself over actions both of her own control, and external force around her, leading to bouts of aggressive lashing out to both friends and strangers.
Relationships:
- Friends - Sorit Mau Langley
- Loves - Sorit
- Enemies - Sans Title
Quirks:
- Due to her nonjudgmental nature, Skai is incredibly close to the community of second race that live in and around her home range.
Creation Notes:
Skai, along with Langley were the first characters created when the original foundation for the comic story was started. While the first draft of the story was more similar to a survival horror tale, Skai and Langley were still a pair of trail worn heroes at the focus, the big difference was that Skai, not Mau was the one who would communicate with a fallen god. Originally she and her few fleeting companions in the story would drift in and out out of a bizarre and surreal landscape, not sure what was reality and what was a dream-scape created by a dead god.
Early drafts of the story had Skai as the main focal hero, but slowly shifted to other characters sharing the main spot. Skai was written to share similar personality traits to Sorit, while he began to act on his more self confident role as a leader over the story, Skai would slowly falter and question herself, taking on Sorit's original stance as an insecure, self doubting follower.
The name Skai was pulled from an earlier, but trashed story about a monster hunter, having her hunt down outlaws was used as an homage to the original character of Skai.
The earliest art for the comic Asis showed Skai.
