Basics
Name: Aradui (ah-RAW-dwee)
Alignment: Neutral Good
Gender: male
Age: ambiguous
Maturity Equivalent: about 60 human years
Birthdate: to be decided
Species: Chirin
Height: 6'5" at shoulders

Physical
His head is heavy and stout, like a buffalo's. The scales on the bridge of his nose are covered in short, velvety fur. The upper canines protrude from his mouth. His horns curve forward then curve backward, especially without any trimming or filing. A set of antlers grow behind the horns. His fur is long, thick, and unkempt. Parts of his mane is matted. His bear paws are equipped with deadly claws. The feathers of his tail can flair out when he's excited or angry.

Personality
Aradui is generally calm, mellow, and compassionate. It takes a lot to anger him, especially later in his life, but is unpredictable and predatory when enraged. Otherwise, he is amiable and laid-back. He had a tendency to be shy and apologetic in his early years, although he eventually outgrows this a little bit.
He can be quiet at times, giving the appearance of a simple beast, but he is in fact well educated.

Backstory
I will only reveal the following snippet:
When the divine war broke out, Aradui found himself caught between Kamesha and Zva. He tried to remain neutral, as siding with one would betray his friendship with the other. In the end, he lost both friends and developed a disdain for war of any kind.
He distrusts Dagrun and believes he doesn't deserve to be king of the pantheon, but is afraid to rise against him. His friend Revari, on the other hand, blatantly defies Dagrun. Aradui worries over Revari's safety and well-being, but rarely contacts his friend, as those who openly support Revari are often exiled by Dagrun.

Ohhh. <3 That would be awesome but it would certainly take quite a while. I've been meaning to draw the City of the Gods anyhow so it's definitely on my list of things to draw now. Thanks for the idea!

I think I might do this really soon, actually. I've been thinking I should do something for Ghesera's 9th anniversary, so why not draw the pantheon? Ghesera needs some nice illustrations for once. :>

Oh yeah! I forgot about that. Dx I actually developed a species for Aradui, it's just a private project for myself but I can share some details with ya. It's kinda weird and involves aliens but I guess that's what makes it interesting?
