Brief Backstory:
Bloodbeat is a t’skrang Nethermancer from the Cliff City of Syrtis on Shivoam, the Great Serpent River. She’s a young, blood red t’skrang with a striking bone white crest, spine ridges and tail spikes, and speaks in an oddly formal, anachronistic style in both the Throalic and T’skrang languages. It’s quickly apparent that it’s as though she is a crotchety old t’skrang bat of a Nethermancer in a young woman’s body. She seems to know her stuff, but it’s very odd as she snorts at all you “hatchlings without the sense your chaida used to wipe your tails with”. [NB, a chaida is the male t’skrang nanny who takes care of a hatchling in t’skrang culture.]
As you get to know Bloodbeat, you get the impression that she believes she is similar to a t’skrang Lahala. A Lahala is the female matriarchal elder of each naill (extended t’skrang family). As a Lahala’s body dies, she undergoes a nethermatic ritual to transfer her memories and her essence to her successor. Bloodbeat doesn’t make any bones about her belief that her adult Name chose her, and her initiation as an adept merged her new body with the pattern of a legendary Pre-Scourge t’skrang Nethermancer of the same mystical Name. You have seen Bloodbeat get very frustrated with the “slow pace of rebuilding the ability of her descendant’s body to channel the magics that are hers by right”. She drops references to ancient blood curdling tales into conversation as though they happened yesterday, and talks about preparing the rituals to put her spirit into the wards being woven to protect the Cliff City through the Scourge as if she was there. Frankly, it’s hard to tell if she is for real or just delusional, but she does wield a mean spell and talks to dead people, so you don’t press too hard.
