Epithets The Keeper's Finder of Clan Cirka, Hunter-scholar, Leader of the Korla Clan

Vahri'a is of quick wit and well-kept secrets, reflecting many faces of the moon. As a Finder for his clan, he's in charge of locating things, places and people — with his myriad skills in research and venery (not that kind) alike. Under his visor is a pair of scrutinising eyes, and beneath that is a deep-seated, ever-bubbling anxiety.

FINDERS, KEEPERS
Vahri'a is Clan Cirka's premier finder. The title entails gathering information on things the clan needs: a beast mark to hunt, an old matriarch to speak with, a glade lost to time. The clan is old and storied, and has recently re-opened the doors to its misty settlement for barter; they are happy to loan out Vahri'a's finding for a favour in return.

HARROWED HUNTER
Being born in the deep fringes and having lived there for a majority of his life, Vahri'a knows the Twelveswood and its beasts like the back of his hand.

PAST POACHER
Other clans were not fond of the Korla's, as they often stole their fellow Keepers' livestock, hunted from their grounds, and only made allies in the Ixal. Vahri'a continued these traditions and was largely lambasted in huntress circles as a 'nuisance of a patriarch' for his family.

CAT'S CHRONICLER
As a bard, Vahri'a collects various miqo'te legends and mythos to retell through oral tradition. If you're looking for story in that realm of expertise of which libraries are often bereft (Gods and their consorts, tribe and clan lines, ancient magics), the Finder can help.

NOT A WANDERER, PERSAY
Clan huntresses often seek progenitors for their offspring, but Vahri'a is… not that kind of wanderer, and his matriarch protects his role with strict lines drawn. How might other wanderers feel about this privilege, and how does Vahri'a?

MEALVANN'S MEANEST
Vahri'a was a very strict instructor at the Arcanist's Guild, commanding private pupils to memorise hefty aetherial theory. Now, his arms are covered in arcane tattoos, and he's performing ancient magic unknown to the modern craft — a versatile, storied arcanist.

Vahri'a is a practitioner of EPHEMANCY, a mix of arcanima and astrology unique to Clan Cirka. On a necklace underneath his clothes, he hides a bard job stone. Both histories merge in his blood, creating an unlikely harmony of magics.On his arms and back, Vahri'a is covered in white tattoos of arcanist's geometries that resemble constellations and moon phases, from which he can cast these spells:

SHORTBOW SUMMON
From his back, Vahri'a can summon a completely aetherial shortbow and dispel it at will. This bow is configured to play notes every time its string is released. What results is a lyre-like song of syncopated notes and improvised melodies (much like math rock) that can bolster nearby allies depending on what's played.

RUIN ARROWS
From his forearms, Vahri'a can create arrows with various properties akin to an arcanist's Ruin spell. These arrows are magical in nature, neutrally aspected. With the right rhythms and calculations, he can modify the arrows to curve, ricochet off of objects, and explode after a certain distance travelled. Thanks to this, he runs on mana rather than ammo.

FORCE BARRIERS
Using the moon sigils on his shoulders, Vahri'a can create small, flat planes of pure unaspected aether with which he can block attacks and bounce spells off of. They are transparent and barely noticeable to the eye (like thin glass), but they only appear for a fraction of a second before dissipating into the ambient aether.
