Wonderkind [cw: monsters, possible canon spoilers]
He's terrified by the sight at first. The streaming meteors bring back memories of a time he'd rather not recall, along with the memory of someone else's memory.
"Its gaze turns skyward, and fiery rain falls from the heavens... once the fear has taken root, it cannot be expunged..."
He heads out to follow the meteors, watching them fall... and then they open. And he stares as he recognizes a vista of home. He realizes that he's crying - he's missed home so much. But the portals are open, and occasionally he spots someone he knows... or a beast he knows.
Would you like to join him in a conversation? Or help him slay something that might require more than one person to fight it?

Nara'a is used to be in the woods. He's comfortable there, and it's nice to wander. Whether he's alone or with a friend, he's more than happy to be out in the wilds. He's pretty good at finding his way back... he should be fine, right? Right.
But the appearance of a deer startles him. He's gotten used to seeing the images around town, though he hasn't seen one in person. But it's a prey animal, isn't it? It seems to be... guiding him? It's definitely not afraid, so he keeps going. ... And then it hits him - he hasn't been paying attention to the path. He hasn't been marking his trail. He is lost. Shit.
He stumbles forward, trying to find a path or some way back when he comes across it. A skeleton - one he almost doesn't recognize it at first but... no, it's a deer. Was that...
He needs to figure out what to do. The monsters are howling and drawing closer, and he can only fight so many for so long.
From Hell's Heart I Stab at Thee [cw: possible canon spoilers, corruption, violence]
Nara'a is up for a party more than most people know. He doesn't get too tipsy, but he's pleasantly warm and willing to cuddle up with someone in front of the fire. It's nice to be with someone... and the sight of the fire is bringing back memories. Good ones, ones shared with friends, but still memories.
That said when the call goes up to take the city he's eager to respond. It's not like he has steady work that he has to duck out of, so it's not hard to attach himself to the group. He keeps up his energetic attitude all the while there, happy to be out on the road again.
It's when they get there that something feels... wrong. It's too quiet - it was quiet before, but now something feels... severely wrong. It feels... dead. He's on guard, and he's almost not surprised when he starts feeling sick. Everything seems to make him uneasy in both body and mind, and he can smell it. The blood. It's got to be -
He starts trying to round people up, get them out of the city. He can see his skin growing lighter and his claws growing longer. They have to leave, before they kill each other.
