Hi there! I'm Damien and I'm playing Ashva, a rather juvenile kelpie who came across the rift because he was unusually intelligent curious for his species and wanted to explore and learn. He had a bit of a reputation for being the kelpie that talked to his prey before eating them, which unfortunately meant that it was rather hard to have a good conversation as no one wanted to go near him - even when he wasn't actually hunting or even hungry and just wanted a good chat. Hanging out with humans who had no preconceptions about what he was seemed like a much better idea.
Ashva is a little nerd who totally here to learn and be a student and see all these things. And yes, he's eating pets and people who noodle around in the water after dark. But it's not like it's anything personal, he's just an obligate carnivore who can only eat meat that was terrified when it died, and he's not actually here to cause trouble, he just has a troubling diet. He's trying his absolute best to suppress his predatory nature in order to co-exist with the prey that knows interesting things. And it's not actually him anyway, look, he's just an innocent nixie! How - how dare you say something so cruel?
Looking forward to playing with everyone! I'm open to all sorts of play - friends, teachers for him to glom onto in a fit of overenthusiasm, people to cautiously skirt around because they're onto him, and so on. I'm open to a Bond, although I imagine whoever he is Bonded to may well wind up being his minder if they realise just what his diet entails. Not interested in romance with this character, he's way too young and it'd be pretty inappropriate.
(Worth noting: Ashva looks rather younger than the userpics would suggest, as he doesn't age like humans do. In his horse form he's basically a weaned early yearling foal, but this translates in very weird ways in his humanoid form as he's got the height, psychology and scrawny build of an eighteen year old but hasn't hit puberty yet. There is a chance your character may mistake him for an older teenage girl or a much younger tween boy, as a result of this. This will frankly confuse him - he can feed himself and therefore he's an adult, thank you very much. I foresee serious culture shock as a result)
