So I guess now that my character sheet is done (I think it's done...let me know if I've forgotten stuff), it's time to do a background and description writeup, yay! It's gonna be a bit on the long side, so I'm hiding it behind spoiler thingies.
Background:
[spoiler] At a young age, Anacoana's family gave her up to the priesthood to be dedicated as a servant of their gods. She was educated in the Tenochca faith, taught the duality of Ometecuhtli, taught the might of Huitzilopochtli, and taught the omniscience of Tezcatlipoca. However, it was the sacrifice of Xipe-Totec that spoke to her soul. She participated in the ritual sacrifices and torture that are part of the seasonal cycle of rebirth, essential to making the crops grow and the people prosper. These things must happen in order that Xipe-Totec be reborn as the shining golden one. She believes these things fiercely and would have soon ascended to full priesthood of Xipe-Totec, had things not been out of her control.
A human slave, attacked her in the night, meaning to do her harm. He did not succeed as mysterious powers came to her aid when she offered up personal sacrifice to the gods. The slave was executed without even the privilege of his life being offered to the gods. But the high priests were curious. Stories came to them of this young woman having been seen mending the hurts of some of the village children. Her enemies fell ill in her presence. These powers, which they called to the gods for, but did not posses for themselves, made the priests nervous, and they declared that the attack had made her unclean and unfit for service to the gods.
Anacoana was disheartened but remained faithful. She decided to see how the 'lesser races' lived, and her family gave a parting gift to her, a Tenochca gun for her protection while she spends time outside the empire. While applying for a visa, she was contacted by a representative from the 13th Guard. It seemed that the stories that got her thrown out of the priesthood had reached farther than she could have imagined.[/spoiler]
...aaaand Description:
[spoiler] Standing at 6'2", Anacoana (whose name means golden flower), has an athletic build. Straight, black hair cut just short of shoulder-length frames a face with bronzed skin and golden eyes that seem to glitter when she smiles. Large gold disks dangle from her ears, and she wears a ceremonial-looking, but functional knife with an obsidian blade from a leather cord around her neck. An expertly tanned jaguar pelt hangs from her shoulders. She wears no shirt and the pelt covers her breasts, but only just. Your eyes seem to trick you though, as you could swear the jaguar skin moves and ripples with an unseen breeze. At her hip, a strange-looking pistol sits in a holster. The weapon almost looks like a work of art, and you can't quite place the make or model of it. Supported by a tooled leather belt that's been decorated with brightly colored feathers and turquoise beads is a simply woven skirt, the color of blue cornflowers, that does little to hide her shapely legs. at her ankles and wrists are small leather bands decorated in the same style as her belt, but you notice a series of small cuts along her forearms. She wears thin sandals, but you get the impression that she would be just as if not more comfortable barefoot.
Interesting fact: she owns a sweater, but has worn it but once. Upon entering the us, a woman at customs practically threw it at her, saying "Jesus, honey, be decent!"[/spoiler]
