About
At first glance, Djserkha is a tall, intimidating Au Ra. He has a constant resting bitchface, making him almost always seem annoyed before he's even spoken. His voice tends to keep a low, even monotone to it, and he has a way of watching people that some misunderstand. Despite his attempts to be the grumpiest, most sullen asshole, his appearance couldn't be any more deceiving. He's a gentle soul who only wants to help others, but dislikes receiving too much attention for his actions. In fact, he doesn't tend to understand how to deal with too much attention at once; it overwhelms easily. He handles it with what grace he can muster however. For all his gentle disdain for attention, he cuts a dramatic figure overall. Djserkha is shorter than the average Auri male at about 6'5". He's lean-muscled with very long black and red hair that he wears in intricate braids and tails to frame his face. His clothing tends to lean towards minimalistic in that he prefers wearing trousers and boots and little else than jewelry. "Real" clothing is only worthwhile when necessary.
Jesse's Echo manifested in a form of empathy that tends to overwhelm him if he isn't careful. He feels the emotions of others around him, sometimes nearly as blatant as words themselves, and other times muted and subdued suggestions. Either way they can be too much for him to handle if he isn't careful.
Born sickly, he was kept close to his family and carefully watched over. He still found ways to contribute, even if it was simply tying bundles of herbs for drying or helping keep ingredients for salves set apart and ready to be used. As he grew older, he grew stronger, until he was eventually allowed to tend to a small flock of sheep. Animals took to Jesse; even wild ones seemed calmer around the Au Ra (though no less wild, he never seemed to have to worry about being attacked). It was not an odd sight to find him tucked alone with his sheep in some protected corner near the camp with birds perched on his shoulders while sheep napped at his side. It's a trait that has followed him into adulthood-- animals still seek him out when he's in the wild, and he's had his share of strange companions in the form of large nyxes or mylodons.
