Sesha Pachua; Water Magi

SESHA "dRAYCE" PACHUA,

This is gospel for the fallen ones

Sesha also, at the moment, known as “Drayce” is what many would consider a walking contradiction. He’s someone who could be considered kind and generous depending on the situation and people he’s dealing with, especially children. However, more often than not you can bet you’re probably going to get a rather broody young man who’s got a chip on his shoulder and a hatred for the world he lives in. His innocence was taken from him at a rather young age and the death of his parents has left a heavy weight on him as well as a strong hate towards Hunters. The betrayal his family faced by the hands of another Magi has also left him with a deep mistrust even towards his own kind.

He’s got a smart mouth on him and a rather confrontational way of speaking that just screams of standoffish ice prince. He’s rather impulsive and when pushed he’s surprisingly violent especially when his rather volatile temper is pressed into play. He doesn’t hesitate, even if his life is in danger. His close brush with death as a child has made it so he doesn’t fear it and perhaps even welcomes it. While he does worship Arithelia, he probably looks to Tatara more often thanks to his life style. One big thing that’s probably best to avoid is entering his personal space, he doesn’t like it and can come off as territorial. Whether that personal space is his bubble or home, if you’re not close don’t push your luck.

For all the coarseness and bad in Sesha though, there is a lot of good as well. He has a huge weak spot for children and tends to be on the sweeter side with them. He can also be easily won over with fruits as its one of his more favorite things to eat and what makes up most of his diet. Having lived on the streets for a short while, he’s learned to adapt and has acquired some street smarts over the years as well as common sense. He is by no means stupid even if he does sometimes underplay his intelligence. He’s an observer and has quick thinking capabilities that lets him easily put situations together as well as solve them rather easily.

Then there is the Sesha that’s very rarely seen seeing as he tries to keep others at an arm’s length. The softer more loving and thoughtful Sesha that likes to joke around and can be thoughtful to the few that wriggle their way into his heart. To those few he’s entirely loving and affectionate if just slightly possessive of them. He’s willing to go the extra mile to keep the few he cares about happy and can get rather protective of them.

Sesha is a rather handsome young man, a unique mix of harsh masculine lines and soft angular boyishness. His skin is a soft milk chocolate that’s slightly lighter than his darker brown hair which falls in layers, the longest layer falls just over his right shoulder and fades into an odd reddish color. He’s of average height as well seeing as he tops at a whopping five feet six inches and maybe six and a half if he’s not slouching over. Sesha has the build of a martial artist which isn’t surprising. He’s all whipcord muscle, six pack abs and rock hard arms that’s hidden easily over his flattering clothes. The way he moves has a quiet confident power about it that’s not easy to miss and is even easier to see.

The most notable things about Sesha though are the very things that could give him away as a Magi. He’s an interesting mix between something reptilian and aquatic no thanks to his ability as a Water Magi no doubt. Scattered along random parts of his body are patches of scales, sensitive to the slightest brush of skin or cloth. One such patch is hidden along his arm mixed into the Dragon tattoo he got to purposefully hide them. Along the junction of his neck are gills are can easily be mistaken for tattoos unless he’s in the water since they’re usually pressed tightly closed when he’s on land. His canines are also slightly elongated so that while not immediately noticeable, when he’s angry and unthinkingly curls his lip he flashes ‘fang’ at whoever. The most apparent portion of him that screams Magi are his eyes, a bright burnished gold that become vertical slits when his emotions are high.




Sesha's fashion sense alters between casual to work casual which means on some days you can catch him wearing his usual, t-shirt and jeans with fingerless gloves or other days you can actually see him wearing khakis and a button down shirt that accent his lean form. Most times though he's often seen wearing a white t-shirt, back vest, faded blue scuffed jeans and black sneakers. Something that will always be on him no matter what he's wearing are the mementos of his parents.  His father's fingerless gloves and his mother's gold pendant.

Parents
Mother: Aziza (deceased)
Father: Idris (deceased)

Extended Family
Maternal Aunt: Anshu (living: Haven)


To understand it’s probably best to go back to the start with Sesha’s parents. Aziza and her sister, Anshu, had actually been barcoded Magi held within an experimentation lab with a few other Magi that had already been tested on. Idris and a few other Magi that were originally from Haven had come after hearing rumors about some of these labs and were plotting to break into the lab. It was, without a doubt, the most hectic and chaotic rescue mission ever planned. Suffice it to sigh there were quite a few losses on either side and Idris barely escaped with the siblings before slipping into the slums where he’d gotten a place for them to lay low earlier on. All three stayed there for a while along with two other Magi’s from Haven, waiting till the fuss died low and they were forgotten. It was during that time that Aziza and Idris grew closer and closer until they fell for one another.

When the time came for the Magi’s to take the siblings to Haven with them and Aziza found out that Idris had to stay so that he could keep an eye on things, she refused to go. After a rather heated discussion between all three in which Idris was on Anshu’s side they both lost to her stubbornness and she stayed behind while Anshu went ahead to Haven. They laid low, making their way from the Slums to the Redlight district for work purposes and housing.

It was only a couple of years before Aziza revealed that she was pregnant with Idris’ child, a happy memory for the couple that were technically wanted criminals. When Sesha came into the world only nine months later it was an even happier time but the happy couple were getting careless and sloppy in their bliss. They weren’t being as careful in hiding their Magi attributes and Aziza was almost forgetting to put makeup on to hide the barcode before work. However, the thought of having a child made them careful in other areas and Sesha was treated like a precious jewel. Soon enough Aziza took time off to raise the baby Sesha and be a fulltime mother while Idris worked to keep a roof over their head and food on their table.

As Sesha grew older, he was a fairly happy child though not overly spoiled considering his parent’s life style. The first look into the darker part of their lives didn’t come until he was five and he happened upon his parents. His father had been sawing off his mother’s wings…The sight was enough to stay with him long after his mother had reassured him that she’d asked his father to do it. He was never allowed to go outside and was homeschooled, taught how to read and write by his father who’d taught Sesha’s mother. It was when Sesha was eleven that disaster struck. Aziza had been rushing one morning, having woken up late after being rather sick the days prior and she’d forgotten to hide the barcode on her skin. Another Magi that was being pressured by the Hunters took notice of it at work, having never seen it before the Magi alerted the Hunters in hopes of getting them off their back.

His parents were followed to and from their home, Idris and Aziza had thought they were forgotten but they were remembered and the Hunters instantly recognized them. While they were all home, the hunters came and Aziza had just enough time to hide Sesha under the floorboards before the hunters stormed in. He can still remember his father’s yells and his mother’s scream as he huddled under the floorboards curled into a tight terrified ball. What was worse was that after it all went quiet he immediately heard a soft crackling noise and it began to get unbearably hot.

The Hunters had set fire to his home. The smoke was beginning to suffocate him and the heat was nearly blistering. Sesha could feel his vision tunneling and it was only thanks to his unconscious use of his water manipulation that he even made it out of there alive. He still can’t remember just want exactly happened even now. After that Sesha lived on the streets…and the streets were cruel, unforgiving and vicious. The affectionate, happy child he once was…was no more. Sesha hardened up, learned that the world wasn’t a nice place at all and that people of any kind were willing to betray out of greed or to save their own skins. He learned to hate hunters and after he was seventeen, he found out about the Magi that sold out his parents and learned to mistrust even his own kind…especially when Hunters came looking for him after he’d questioned a Magi about it.

He’d lied to them of course. Said his name was Drayce and he’d been a friend of Sesha’s who just wanted to know what had happened to his childhood play pal. They fed him some bullshit story about there being a terrible accident when the Hunters went to question Sesha’s parents and that they all died in the fire. Since then he goes by Drayce and keeps his own Magi attributes as hidden as he possibly can, taking jobs wherever he can get them while trying to stay under the radar.

- Water I: This allows you to manipulate fifty gallons worth of water that is already clearly in existence to the naked eye. You cannot change its temperature. Nor can you produce a projectile yet.

- Purification: You are capable of purifying even the dirtiest of waters of dirt, other natural unpleasantness, toxic pollutants and even poisons. It's quite literally having the pinpoint focus of separating the pure water from the ingredients that are not wished for.

- MELEE I (STARTER): Can accomplish fundamental and basic feats with melee weapons. Examples: Knife, Sword, Sai, Hammer, Axe, Whip, Lance, Chainsaw, etc




- Water II: (Upgrade of Water I) You can now manipulate five hundred gallons worth

- Water III: (Upgrade of Water II) You can now manipulate five thousand gallons worth at one time. Any watery projectiles are going their fastest and most efficient here.

- Higher Resistance to Downers: Takes double the amount to bring down.

- Bloody Deed: Upon cutting yourself (or being cut) you can now manipulate your own blood. What you are capable of doing with said blood is up to what level of Water you're at. However, the more blood you're using, the weaker you'll be physically and more likely to pass out.
