I created SkekSard a long time ago…but I never did his UrRu/Mystic! What a mistake! So here he is:
Unlike his wordy counterpart, UrDahr is mute. The only sounds indicating his presence are the rattles on his walking stick, and the tinkling of the stones hanging on his hair and arms. But sometimes they can be mistaken for the whisper of a breeze or the song of a river.
He shares with his Skeksis half his proximity with Gelflings, but he never interferes in their lives, they just find their way to him and him to them. They seek for his help, either for their journeys or trivial issues in their lives, but sometimes they just want to see a tale being told. For UrDahr, words can’t express everything and can be misguiding. As a mime, he tells his stories moving his long arms and hands, sometimes using stones and sticks he found and carries in his wanderings. While SkekSard inject ideas in Gelfling minds, he prefers letting them draw their own conclusions and find answers in themselves.
Rare are those who crosses his path. He is even seen as a legend in some Gelfling towns and villages. The Dousans are the ones who knows him the most as the Crystal Desert is UrDahr’s favorite place. When he is not wandering through Thra, he often spend his nights near the Dousan’s Wellspring in a cave made of crystals. He enjoys their culture of silence and their Elder’s stories. The mystery surrounding this clan becomes his own, his silent presence hidden in the endless desert.
they have the same role in their respective groups, absorb visions of future events and try to understand how they come to be and their outcomes. They both know about the whole Urskeks deal and once every trine they come together to discuss about their most recent visions and omens.
Since “Age of Resistance” ive been deep into TDC lore hole so here are my Skeksis/Mystic OCs. I have some gelflins ocs too for a story im working on so ill probably post them later.
UrSol tries to justify him in any way possible and available to her, while listening to him with utmost attention and anger UrSan. She knows perfectly well that he was the one who with his song did not prevent her from swimming in the river…
“UrSan, it wasn’t me! Ask the fish in the river.”
“They don’t need to justify your words, UrSol. I know perfectly well that it was your antics preventing me from continuing to swim. You are bad at lying, Chanter.”
