Chaya Edoah (CHAI-ah eh-DOH-ah)
Content Warning: Child Death
Chaya Edoah (a.k.a. "Chi")
Due to a combination of the things he's witnessed and natural inclinations, Chaya is full of nervous energy at all times. He may be a trained fighter, but he sometimes feels conflicted about using his abilities because his intense level of empathy for animals and people alike grants him too much insight into the pain he can cause with little more than his fists and his quarterstaff.
His Physical and Mental Facets are stronger than his Emotional Facet.

Usually performs nervous hand movements like tapping, rubbing, or fidgeting, as well as pacing back and forth in repetitive patterns, especially when indoors.
Special abilities
Chaya’s Boon is the ability to feel the last sensations of a piece of dead flesh that he touches. This ability cannot be "turned off," even when he's attempting to eat meat. The emotions are overwhelming and often consist of fear, but they can be used to figure out who killed something or someone, as well as where, how, and sometimes why.
He practices kukalai, though his mentors never saw him as being an outstanding adherent.

Chaya still wears the outfit of an apprentice at the academy where he learned to practice kukalai, even though he no longer attends.
Specialized Equipment
