Siweha's Description

Prof. Siweha Yovi Tana, or just Friends (also named the Pool of Reason) - by far the strangest member of this strange collection of creatures, this being is a colony of information - a conglomerate of more than a billion entities, each one of whom is but a single opinion. Siweha's metabolism is based on information, and he strives to enhance his knowledge about the universe by exploring the metaphysical discipline of Nirodiwe.

Here is how Siweha's player describes his truly unusual and challenge-to-play character. Note that Siweha is (or, more accurately, are) a collective being, thus they are referred to in the plural.

We, Professor Siweha Yovi Tana, treat with due respect any wise person - especially ourselves.

Most normal creatures cannot understand our way of thinking, deeming us cold and cruel; yet when we make a decision, we consider first the state we and our companions are in, and only then the conditions which make the decision necessary.

For example, while facing an attack by a fellow party member in a specific environment where resurrection of the dead is extremely easy, we chose to slay the offender rather than use a seemingly lighter - but less reversible - mode of punishment.

We, consisting of more than a billion entities, are subdivided into groups sharing the common potential of power, magical and otherwise. This fact is seen by the very quick change of our displayed behaviour and opinions on any given subject, and the constant switching between subjects in a conversation - the trademark of any amarchado (so a colony of information like ourselves is called in the world we come from). Siweha's leading entity at any time is the local leader of the group which seems to the majority of all entities to be the most suitable in handling the situation at the moment.

Our dream and prospective future is mastering the Sphere of Divinity; our hobby is playing Go (mostly with ourselves, since a better partner can hardly be found). We plan also to establish a shrine to the Great Abstract Mathematical Beauty which we have named Ha-Shondelg'gi - or become that shrine.

If sometimes we treat our companions as inferior creatures, it is mostly because we surpass them greatly in sheer computative power and raw magical might, which is what we value most.

Our name, Siweha Yovi Tana, in the language of Nosta Kande means "the Friends who Love Wisdom": this is the opinion of the largest group among us as to what our name should be.
