Name: Ishka<br/>Player: Tomalak<br/>Nature: Architect<br/>Calling: Scientist<br/>Pantheon: Deva<br/>Goddess: Lakshmi<br/><br/>Description: Ishka is an attractive Indian woman who manages to walk the line between traditional and westernized.  She wears functional business suits when appearing in public, but manages to make the jewelry she wears work with the look.  She manages to seem exotic while not seeming foreign.  She has long black hair, which is kept in a tight binding at the back of her head.  A red jewel sparkles on the center of her forhead in the Indian fashion.<br/><br/>Personality: Seemingly reserved in most social situations, Ishka’s brilliant mind and inquisitive nature become apparent when discussing her field or other areas of theoretical science.  She is familiar with the social conventions of both the traditional societies and the outspoken western world.  The most striking thing about her is not her appearance or behavior, but her poise.<br/><br/>History: Ishka and her brother were raised in an orphanage in Jamnagar, India.  They were both very bright, with a talent for the sciences.  They applied themselves admirably, and attained scholarships to first-rate universities.  Now they travel the world, meeting with scientists in their fields to advance their work.  Unlike her brother, who usually meets his colleagues online and only rarely appears in person, Ishka is always off to some exotic new location to meet with an expert in some rare or exotic plant.  She is acknowledged as a forerunner in her field, which involves the cross-breeding of similar plants to learn more about the plants’ genetic codes.<br/>
