8’ft tall (major), largest living auran, and perhaps the most physically powerful. They/them- malefe. Extremely high-ranking Auraguard, due to their strength. They lead the guard’s combat sector. Takes after a bombardier beetle, does not have wings, antenna, or horns, but can create an explosion around them in combat. They have dark green eyes, fiery yellowish-orange skin, long, unkempt black hair with a golden underside, and burn-shaped black-and-yellow markings. They have scars, as well as many piercings. Their teeth are naturally black. Hava earned their rank through sheer physical strength. They do not care for authority. Their preferred weapon is an axe. Hava is insane; they are unpredictable, arrogant, crude, and seem to lack a fear of pain. They would work for whichever side provided more benefits. Hava is aggressive, rowdy and loud. They are also a womanizer. They have a sense of humour. They joke, scare, prank and “ragebait” others. They love to spar, or fight in general. Hava adores violence. They also adore Sekmet. Sekmet and Hava are best friends; both being born majors, they’ve trained together all their life. Both are in the Auraguard. Hava is less rude to Sekmet than they are to others. Hava and Sekmet have a complicated relationship; they are often rivals during training. Hava is mean, but not cold. They are very expressive/outgoing. They are friendly to Sekmet. Hava is very competitive.
Early morning light was just beginning to ghost over Hava’s barracks. Guards would be rising, now. Stretching. Chatting amongst each other.
Hava… would not be joining them. They could, sure, or they could sleep another hour and find some other duty to attend to. Maybe they could convince Sekmet to handle their paperwork. Maybe.
…Not that it mattered, really. What could words on a scroll possibly do for the “kingdom”, anyways? Useless bullshit. All of it.
…But oh, well. Hava got to do whatever they wanted, most of the time. Who could stop them, after all?
