NAME(S) Омрын Любо́вь Царева-Антонова Shiva, Lyu, Eye, Beastie, эдьиий |
TITLE(S): UDAGAN KEEPER |
RACE: Aбаасы
Abaahy (Aбаасы) are demons who were once human, said to have only one eye, arm and leg, though other variations have been described. They serve the Yakut god of the underworld, Arson-Duolai, taking human souls and giving them disease, famine, sexual manifestations and death in return. Abaahy are so ingrained in Sakha culture that when one describes something they dislike or hate, they say what literally translates as "to see abaahy". As a human Omryn was fairly ordinary, if not quite tall and well-built, and of Chukchi-Yakut descent. I'm not much one for face claims, but I'll direct you here for a reference |
POB / AGE: YAKUTIA
Located in Russia and home to the so-called coldest city in the world, Yakutsk. It's known for its diamond, gold and tin mines and extreme climate alike, with temperatures as low as -90 F (-68 C) and occasionally as high as 101 F (38 C). It's home to most native Yakuts, a Turkic people who likely settled there in the 1200s. THIRTY-SEVEN
They give no more information than "April 1st" as their birth date and will always state their age as "thirty-seven". They appear to have died in their late thirties before returning to the upper world as an abaahy. Their apparent age matches this. |
GENDER: QA CIKCHECA
"Many of the Siberian tribes had third gender shamans, to the dismay and bewilderment of the civilized scholars who wrote about them with words like perversion. Chukchi shamans spoke about the terrible transformation of a man or woman into a "soft man". Some received the command and had to go along with it or be killed. It started with a change of appearance to that of the opposite sex, partially or entirely. The final phase had them changing their job roles in the tribe, taking on the tasks of their new gender, and marrying partners appropriate to their new role. No one who knows that the person in question is a spirit-worker should have any doubt that they are third-gendered in some way." It plays an extraordinarily large part in their witchery as well: "More detailed descriptions are to be found in the excellent modern works of Bogoras and Jochelson. Bogoras describes the facts relating to the Chukchee in a chapter on 'Sexual Perversion and Transformed Shamans'. 'The sexual organs play a part in certain shamanistic ceremonies,' says Bogoras. The shaman is said to be very often naked during his incantations, e.g. that used to invoke the moon, and to mention his genital parts. A woman [who has changed their sex is called] 'similar to a man' (qa cikcheca). |
EYE/SKIN: GREY/BROWN
The abaahy has only one extremely narrow and slanted eye of a silvery-grey coloration. Their left eye socket is entirely empty and even without lids - it looks as if it's been chemically burned and is obviously beyond repair. Their skin is the fine line between olive and brown, a ruddy-bronze coloration that lends itself to tanning quickly and easily. |
HAIR: BLACK
Falls a few inches past their shoulders, mostly straight and thick as horse hair. More often than not it's tied back or in a lazy bun. |
HEIGHT: ~10'
See "known forms" for more details. |
WEIGHT: 700 lbs (~317kg)
Most of their weight comes from muscle - they are an extreme example of a mesomorph. Well-defined and thick, burly arms, shoulders, back and legs with just a bit of fat around their stomach. Their size puts them at a great advantage in their line of work. In accordance with their role as a shaman, they've undergone a rudimentary chest reconstruction, leaving their chest flat and masculine. Two large, discolored scars remain as the only reminder their breasts were ever there. |
SCENT: Ozone, musk, iron, rust, sage, baijiu, black pepper, creosote. |
