Broken Sky Characters

This is a list of characters from the teen novel series, Broken Sky, by Chris Wooding, including character histories.

Act 1

Part 1

Ryushi

Age: 16
Hair: Blonde
Eyes: Blue
Spirit Stones: Sky blue - Ryushi's spirit stones are capable of manipulating particles in the air to create varying amounts of force. In the beginning of the story, he has little to no control over his stones, and their use results in large amounts of destruction and total drainage of his energy. As the story progresses, however, he becomes capable of controlling his power.
Weapon of choice: Sword
Ryushi has lived at Osaka Stud all of his life with his twin sister Kia, which is essentially a ranch for breeding wyverns. He is dissatisfied with his life, as he would like to travel outside of his home and see the world. He is jealous of his older brother Takami, who gets to travel with their father Banto on his excursions into the outside world. In one such excursion, Banto returns with a young girl named Elani, who he claims is very important and Ryushi must protect her with his life.
One day, Osaka Stud was attacked by the Jachyra, agents of King Macaan. The stud is destroyed, but Ryushi is able to escape with Kia and Elani on one of the wyverns. As they escape, Ryushi sees his father murdered by a strange masked man amongst the king's agents.
Ryushi is very loyal to his promise to his father, and will go to any length to protect Elani. He also tends to be very depressed about his inability to control his stones. He can be very headstrong and constantly craves vengeance for what has happened to his family.

Kia

Age: 16
Hair: Red
Eyes: Green
Spirit Stones: Red - Kia's Spirit Stones control the earth. She is capable of forming barriers and large structures, but her most common use is creating a golem from the earth around her to attack enemies.
Weapon of choice: Bo staff
Kia is Ryushi's twin sister. She lived with her family in Osaka Stud, as Ryushi. Kia often fought Ryushi in training battles, wherein Ryushi was always bested because he couldn't control his Spirit Stones. Kia seemsed to be rather popular with the boys in the area, although one reason for this may be that there is little mention of any young females in the village outside of Kia. Ty had a crush on her for many years, and although she did not take it seriously, she enjoyed getting the attention.
When Osaka Stud was destroyed, it changed her immensely, and she became cold and unfeeling towards everyone, including Ryushi and Elani. The only thing she really wants is revenge against the Royalists, to the point where she will even endanger those she once cared about.

Takami

The Eldest child of Banto and elder brother to Kia and Ryushi.

Takami's Spirit Stones enable him to manipulate heat and flame to his liking and he favours the Nodachi sword as his weapon. Known for his greed and lust for power throughout the story, he often resorts to fighting dirty and cheating in order to obtain it.

He comes into conflict with the twins several times before gathering the strength to regain his honor before his siblings.

Banto

Father of Ryushi, Kia, and Takami. Unknown to his children he is the founder of Parakka, a secret rebel group against King Macaan. He sets the events of the story in motion by taking responsibility for the young Resonant, Elani, and bringing her to Osaka Stud for safekeeping. The promise he extracts from Ryushi, to protect Elani with his life, becomes a driving force in his son's life after the destruction of Osaka Stud.

Ty

Banto's Pilot, and a young member of the Pilots' Guild, he uses his spirit stones to fuel and power large machines and vehicles. His romantic feelings for Kia lead him to sacrifice his own safety so that she, Ryushi and Elani can escape the attack on Osaka Stud. Later, when he and Kia are reunited, he becomes a symbol to her of the innocence she lost in the attack and subsequent battles.

Elani

A mysterious young girl who is brought home with Banto after one of his business trips to Tusami City. She refers to Ryushi and Kia as her "cousins and Banto as her "uncle", depite being of no actual blood-relation to any of them. It is later revelead that she is a powerful Resonant, and the king is desperately hunting for her.

Part 2

Tatterdemalion - Leader of the Jachyra, and personal servant/confidante of Princess Aurin. Like all Jachyra, he serves the King in show, but is loyal to the princess' will.

Part 3

Hochi - Parakkan and close friend of Banto. He owns a wyvern stud in Tusami City.

Gerdi - Young Noman boy taken in by Hochi.

Part 4

King Macaan (main antagonist) - Ruthless leader of the Dominions. After losing his parents and wife to a vicious illness, he has become obsessed with his last remaining family member, his daughter Aurin, and literally desires to give her the world on a platter. He is a 'deliverer', but abuses the power by implanting spirit stones within himself. He also owns the 'trigger stone', which allows him to kill the Jachyra, and the keriags with just one thought.

Princess Aurin - Daughter of Macaan and merciless ruler of Kirin Taq. Often described as being very attractive. Raised in seclusion, she is quickly charmed by the passionate convictions and indefatigable attitude of Ryushi, and grants him special privileges when he is her prisoner; he uses this to get close to her and steal the heartstone of the Keriags.

Tochaa - Kirin man who took in Elani during her time in Kirin Taq.

Moracq - An elderly Kirin who lives with Tochaa. Possibly related.

Part 5

Calica - A young woman who is a member of the council on Parakka. Her spirit stones allow her to pense the past or future by touching objects to view their histories, making her a valuable spy. Has romantic feelings for Ryushi, but is at first unable to express them. She is Princess Aurins 'splitling', and as a result, the only other person who can wear the heartstone and thus, control the Keriags.

Otomo - A member of the council of Parakka, of equal rank with Calicia.

Ogara Jin - A Parakkan teacher who takes Ryushi and Kia to the Keiko mines.

Part 6

Part 7

Whist - A mysterious young man with a shadowy past, he first meets Parakka operatives during the foray into Os Dakar prison. He fights with flung razor-discs, and keeps a pet dog, Blink, who can teleport instantly from place to place and take Whist along for the ride. Untrustworthy and scheming, he would betray anyone for the right price.

Part 8

Kettin - Leader of the Fallen Sun tribe on the plateau prison of Os Dakar.

Part 9

Act 2

Part 1

Jaan - A young halfbreed boy, who is often shunned because of his obviously biracial heritage. He has a special gift for speaking to the Koth Taraan, and befriends Iriqi, a young Koth Taraan, finding in him the first person he's ever known who (like him) is neither Dominion-folk nor Kirin. He fights with twin retractable blades, stored in wooden sheaths against his forearms.

Peliqua - Jaan's older half-sister, a flighty and giddy girl on the surface, but a brave warrior within. Always concerned for her little brother, the only family she has left, she defends him fiercely from those who would mock him, and often tries to cheer him up. She wears her red hair in distinctive braids, and fights with a weighted chain.

Part 2

Iriqi - The Koth Taraan who chooses to observe and aid Parakka. He forms a strong friendship with Jaan.

Part 3

Act 3

Part 1

Mi'atte - A slave working in a mine in a desert with amnesia. Revealed to be Kia, who has gone missing for several months.

Jedda - Leader of a tribe in the deserts. Has romantic feelings for Kia.

Li'ain - Mysterious woman who helps rescue Kia. Later revealed to be Aurin.

Chiro - A breed, part human part machine, grown in vats for the service of the machinists. Breed have a ruthless devotion to carrying out orders given by the highest ranking machinist.

Quain - A parakkan machinist who leads Ryushi, Calicia, Gerdi and Hochi into the machinist's Citadel
