It was not always that homins had tattoos. In an unknown past of their
history they did not know about tattoos.
Back then there was a young male homin whos name is not known anymore.
This homin was always sad, because he could not decide whom to follow.
Should he follow the Kami or the Karavan ? He could not decide and everytime
someone asked him about his beliefs he just replied: "I dont know".
Most other homins laughed at him and left him behind as if he was an idiot.
Therefore he was very sad and became more sad every day until he decided to leave
his hometown to go out and to search the answer.
He wandered all over Atys. Whenever he met a Karavan officer he asked him
all about the Karavan. And when he met a Kamimaster he sat beside him and
meditated with them.
But there was no answer, not even after years of wandering on Atys. All
he had learned was that both helped the homins where ever they could.
Once a Varinx brought him down in the desert and the Kami brought him back.
Another time a Torback hurted him badly in Matis and the Karavan brought
him back.
One day, when he worked on a Psycopla farm near Min-Cho to earn some
dappers, he inhaled to much dust of those magical plants while harvesting
them.
This night he could not sleep well and had a weird dream. A ghost talked to
him in his dreams. He told him that he is the spirit of Atys. Then he took
him up and showed him his world. A world of energy, where everything is doing
for what it was created. The plants did so, the animals did so, the kitins did
so and even the planets and the stars just did what they where created for.
Everything was in chaotic motion but through everthing he could see flowing
another energy that was conecting each with everything. The spirit told him
that this was the flow of balance.
Then he woke up, soacked with sweat.
Right in that moment when he opened his eyes he knewed the answer he searched
so long for. Everything out there was fine, Kami where fine and Karavan where
fine. It was a deamon that hided this knowledge from hominkind and therefore
made homins hate homins due to their beliefs.
Just in this bright moment of enlightment the daemon was defeated and manifested
in his face as a sign. And through knowledge he had transformed the daemon
into a guardian spirit.
Whenever this homin came into danger, fights and battles the sign started to
glow and the homin got the strengh of the spirit that once was a deamon and
therefore was never defeated as long as he lived.
This, of course , was recogniced by the other homins and so everybody wanted
to have a sign on the face. Since then many homins wear tattoos.
(little note: this story was told months ago in fountain and does not really
correspond to the present history. I just found the time and strengh to try
and write it down in english
