Haoran | Tunshi Zejun

Falloff

Haoran plummeted into the gorge, fall broken by river below. The impact causing severe lacerations and exacerbating his previous injuries. As his unconcious body was dragged by the current, the passing Servitor had witnessed it and took pity- thinking he had died on impact. He hauled Haoran's body to the bank before Haoran had started coughing up water. The Servitor, not wanting dig himself further into mortal business had left him there before Haoran took notice. Haoran wakes disorientated in the deserted land, deciding to just crawl and drag himself to shelter in the nearby underbrush

He stumbles across a ragtag group of tribekin that survives as caravan traders that are horrified upon seeing him. They take him under their wing to nurse him back. Haoran decides to join the caravn for about a decade and some change. The caravan was a mix comprised of outcasted outliers and SDT kin (Notolaniamorphs). The caravan was his only semblance of belonging before it accidentally wanders within the purview of the Servitor. The Servitor, Xute remembers him from that fateful incident and although Xute is reticent, he is also bored. Xute thought it would serve his entertainment to appoint the "ill omen halfbreed" as Sentinel. Cue outrage from the Sha clan and Haoran himself (albeit, for differing reasons). As Sentinel, Haoran was bequeathed an ambiguous title of "Tunshi Zejun" (meaning to devour). The scorn the clan bears for fracturing the perpetuation outweighed religious obligation, gifting him a title so that he remembers his place- an orphan that picked bones clean from scraps.
