“For us, eating and being eaten belong to the terrible secret of love. We love only the person we can eat. The person we hate we ‘can’t swallow.’ That one makes us vomit.”

Appearance
| Height 5'11" |
| Build Lean |
| Hair Black |
| Eyes Light brown |
Lean of build but with the muscularity of a practiced pugilist. It is, after all, crucial to train body and mind in equal measure, however upon closer observation one might say his body is already worn with wounds old and new. Dark blooms of blue and purple bruising cover his torso. Patches of discolored and rough skin mar sections of his back, legs, and arms. His shoulders are covered by waist-length black hair kept in a single, long braid and tied with red thread.
Yuva’s most prominent feature is the red painted mask he wears which covers the lower half of his face. A mouth lined with demonic teeth with two sets of sharp and curved canines.

Skills
Healing - As Shaman, Yuva's ability to heal stems from a unique practice which involves manipulating the weaves connecting each individual to the Shroud and taking the injury upon themselves. Magic always comes with a price - you cannot give without taking from something, or someone, else. Though this method presents its own limitations and risks, it ensures that the law of equal exchange is respected.
Curse Eating - A blessing in some ways, but it is nonetheless an ancestral curse. Ill omens, wicked spirits, and tainted magics can be "devoured" for nourishment as well as a brief boon in strength and vitality. By doing this the perpetual hunger Yuva experiences is temporarily sated, though it will always return, and he will be forced to consume again as his body becomes racked with gnawing pangs of hunger.
Martial Arts - A proficient hand-to-hand combatant. More effective at disarming and quickly incapacitating opponents.
Protective Wards - Traditional, shamanic wards capable of consecrating or protecting a space from harmful raakgui or tainted magics for a period of time. Typically this takes the form of chalk etchings on the ground, or handcrafted talismans.
Wound Treatment - First aid, bandaging, stitches, and healing salves that can help with pain mitigation or infection.
