Rajiv Chakraborty

About

Rajiv Chakraborty, his eyes reflecting the void, hums an ancient dirge as he carves runes into the bark of a gnarled tree. He's not seeking solace but a way to communicate with the spirits that haunt his dreams.

Backstory

Silence shattered the moment Rajiv Chakraborty discovered he could hear the final thoughts of dying gods, their whispered secrets burning themselves into his mortal mind like acid. Once a humble temple keeper who tended to forgotten shrines, he became an unwilling vessel for divine death rattles when an ancient deity expired in his arms during a ritual gone wrong. The god's last breath contained millennia of forbidden knowledge about the spaces between worlds, transforming Rajiv's eyes into mirrors of the cosmic void and filling his dreams with the restless spirits of dead pantheons. Now he carves their names and stories into living wood, desperately trying to release their memories from his skull before the weight of their collective grief drives him to join them in oblivion.
