OTARA
Priestess of the moon
Priestess of the moon
Character Name: Otara
Character Race: Saiyan
Character Gender: Female
Character Age: doesn't remember. Physically appears to be early 20's.
Character Alignment: Indecisive
Personality:
Like most of her kind, Otara is a proud and sure Saiyan. Due to her position, however, she is slightly more reserved than others. Only speaking when spoken to, necessary, or when enraged. Due to the era she was raised in she has an immense dislike for the mechanical and believes that her people should only be using what they absolutely must, everything else is just weakness. Insults to her faith, or those who seem to reject the old ways, will find little tolerance or forgiveness with Otara. (ME AM GENERIC SAIYAN. LIKE INTROSPECTION AND M O O N. HATE ROBOT.)
History:
Born in ancient time before Sadala's destruction. Those days were filled with strife and the glory of Saiyan on Saiyan warfare. There was no empire or king then, only the clans. Brought together by common purpose and each lead by its strongest member. Hers lead by her grandfather, Yamoshi. Their most bitter rivals lead by her great uncle, Kohlrabi. The two never saw eye to eye on anything, Otara only complicating matters between them further when she was born moon marked. In those days the Saiyan race was far more superstitious than it is presently. Any little thing on a new born could be interpreted any of a thousand ways. To be moon marked was to be born with a birthmark resembling the full moon. Of all the old beliefs that of the moon goddess was among the strongest and few accepted by the Saiyan people as a whole. The moon was the source of the Saiyan's full power after all, and of all things the ancient Saiyans venerated the moon was among the few that ever answered them.
Yamoshi did his best to hide her moon mark, managing to buy his grand daughter a fairly standard child hood. Before her 11th birthday, however, her status was revealed. There was a clan of those who worked as priests and priestesses of the venerated moon, and a long standing deal with all Saiyan clans gave them the right to claim any moon marked child, refusal would lead to them being taken by a force of all other clans united in common purpose. It was not long after that she was taken from her family, Kohlrabi coming personally with the moon clan to see to it that Otara was taken. Yamoshi hesitated, but wound up allowing her to go, putting the fate of the many over the fate of the one. Otara was made a member of those who venerated the moon, having her tail cut off and sacrificed in a ritual that tied her more closely to the moon. For the next 7 years Otara learned how to, and lived out, the life of a moon priestess. Unaware that her grandfather's anger was boiling over from her abduction.
It wasn't until the inevitable fight broke out that Otara became aware of her grandfathers fury. In a brazen display he attacked the moon clan's temple, fighting his way through as many of them as he could simply to find Otara. They spoke briefly, with Otara able to calm her grandfather's fury, but unable to smooth out his transgressions. A battle was fought openly between himself and Kohlrabi at the moon clan temple, Otara being slain in the cross fire.
For a long time the world was simply darkness, however, she has recently awoken in a darkened sealed chamber...
