Shisi is the ordinary, completely normal offspring of one of the advisors to
the ruling family. Originally, like his family, he would strictly adhere to
duty, keeping his studies first and foremost in everything he did. It was by
pure accident, however, that whilst flying from one side of Arial City to
another, lightning struck him from nowhere, severely singing him and landing
him in bed for several months. When he emerged from his bed rest, his
parents, as well as the rest of the city, noticed significant changes in him.
began straying from his strict adherence to his studies, now actually
making time for enjoyment amongst the other youth of the aspiring invokers.
Mentally, he had changed drastically, although he did still hold a strong
sense of duty. There was physical change as well, for when anyone attempted
to touch him for nearly a year afterwards, they would be shocked with
significant force to knock them off their feet.He was confined to the
ground during this year, so that the strong electrical currents surging
within him might find time to channel themselves out of his body.
Once he stopped being a serious danger to the older and weak hearted arials,
he was allowed once again into the sky.During this time, however, he became
fascinated with storms, often skiving off his studies to fly in them. He
enjoyed the thrill of avoiding the bolts as they streaked towards the ever
distant ground, and though he was struck several more times, none of these
had a more serious affect than grounding him for no more than a week, and of
course the accompanying pain. As he began his studies, the invoker master
noticed his quick and quite unnatural ability to utilize the powers of
lightning. Fearing him a danger to the arial population as a whole, he
recommended that he be removed from the Arial City and relocated somewhere
closer to the ground. His parents chose the Ruined City, for they had heard
of the great magic that had originated from that place, and wished their
offspring to be amongst the most powerful of mages.
Personalities
Added Thu Oct 14 18:01:34 2004 at level 6:
Shisi is a mixture of the two personalities that are the stereotypes of arial
society. He was originally one who adhered strictly to duty, considering the
concept of excitement to be a distraction, and only content when he had
fulfilled his goals. After his accident, he has retained much of his dutiful
attitude, but has a less negative view towards enjoyment as a whole. He is
often known to postpone his studies for adventure and excitement.
Also he finds himself tired of the constant neglect and lenience his people
have shown for those who are obviously incurably evil. The prisons of arial
city are constantly full, and many of them are repeat offenders. Shisi
believes these arials are a pestilence upon the world, and no prison sentence
will ever cure what makes them the way they are. From his recent travels
upon the world, he has realized that the same disease plagues the entirety of
Thera, and the only cure is extermination.
Duty

Shisi, having been in the Fortress for some time, has learned and grown since
he was first admitted into the walls. His promotion to Maran came much
quicker than he expected, and he believed it to mean that he was needed as a
Maran. Since then he has tried to fulfill his duty to the Fortress, though
he has found it difficult at times. The numbers of the Imperial and Scion
hordes are often overwhelming, and often Shisi has to convince himself that
it is his duty to stand fast against them, and do what he can to stop the
flood of darkness they are attempting to bring upon the land.
He realizes the detriment that the lack of leadership has brought to
the Brigade, with him often being the only Brigade member about, and how he
might be a candidate for to fill such a hole, though he believes others to be
far more able. He always feels the need to do his duty, however, and it is
his duty to see done what is best for the Fortress.
