Kurosh Rao-Nora

Kurosh Rao-Nora (a.k.a. Crush)

Physical Description

Body Features

All in all, Kurosh is very lanky and perhaps even twig-like. Smooth and hard muscle can be felt at his core due to his profession, though it's nothing too visible outside of very slight tone. His skin is blemishless and smooth otherwise, save for the scar found upon his face, and a second warped, pinkish stab wound at his shoulder.

Facial Features

Kurosh's face is sharply defined; he has somewhat high cheekbones and a pointed chin, with deep-set eyes that are coloured a golden brown. Although one could describe him as having an otherwise 'pretty face', that countenance is ruined by a a jagged scar wending from the side of his cheek before it ends just beneath his earlobe. His hair is long and often frames his face, with the bangs parted and trimmed so that they remain covering his forehead. More often than not, the hair is tied into a low ponytail that falls down his back.

Special abilities

In terms of special abilities, Crush is an exceptional martial artist. He's capable of holding his own in a fight and knows his way around several different weapons that were utilized by his monastery. Despite his nickname being what it is, it's mostly a shorthanded moniker of his true name! Kurosh is a lot more agile and dexterous than he is strong, and while he is capable of physical feats of strength, he's much more swift than powerful. Kurosh possesses no real notable supernatural power.

Apparel & Accessories

Quarterstaff: Crush's preferred weapon is the Quarterstaff; he will more often than not be seen traveling with it.
Emeici: Emeici are long rods with sharpened points, solely designed for stabbing. They have a small ring fixed to the center to provide flexibility and maneuverability in the weapon.

Mental characteristics

Education

Crush spent most of his life learning from a monastery he was raised by. He didn't quite have much opportunity to grow 'book smart', and mostly learned either by doing, or from wisdom imparted from his elders. He's much more of a practical person and as a result, may tend to be seen as a bit on the airheaded side of things. Crush rarely bothers learning things that are outside of his interest or use, and thus doesn't have too much of a grip when it comes to common knowledge over some things. His monastery focused more on teaching him the basics of survival, rather than what was written on paper.

Employment

The Tour Guide
Crush's beginnings are quite humble. He lived upon the coastal tip of Devkarth, in a massive forest known as the Golgelen. This area is incredibly isolated for the Devkarti people, most of them vastly prefer the open dessert or the hot Savannah of the mainland on account of the dangerous flora and fauna that can be found within the forest, but Crush's family -- and people, were different. The Devkarti of the Golgelen worshiped not Amelia, but the Faethat could be found populating the entire forest.

The monastery he served primarily focused on spreading the interests and knowledge of the Fae to other travelers. They provided offerings and helped propagate the cause of the Crann, mostly with the intention of providing a healthy and safe environment for his community by earning boons in exchange for their offerings. They served as guides, that helped tour wanderers throughout the woods and back into the safety of their home. As with most of his peers, Crush learned how to map his way through the Golgelen by the time he was twelve, and became a proper tour guide two years after.
