Appearance

Kavik is a young man with quite an intimidating stature. Standing at 6'4 tall, this young Fae sports a muscular, athletic build with a triangle torso and prominent arm and back muscles due to his profession as a near-graduated apprentice blacksmith. Several years in the metallurgy field have refined and defined his upper body, though his lower half is not lacking in strength either. His body is quite proportional overall, though.

His face holds the refined features that are typical to see in a human: rounded eyes, a well-placed nose, and a defined jawline. His lips are not full, but they are not thin, either. His once-straight nose has a slight crook to it from an old breakage that never healed correctly. Kavik's eyebrows are straight and set in such a way that his relaxed facial expression appears serious -- almost somber, as though he has seen too much.

His complexion is a bronze tanned one, though the tightened skin around scars show up much paler. He has several of these marks along his arms, a few on his face, and one long scar running across his left shoulder and pectoral from a runaway sword. He's obviously had his fair share of run-ins with blades and other sharp bits and bobs, though most of them have been through creating the pieces rather than having them used against him. However, he is not a stranger to swordsmanship.

Kavik's eyes are a burning brown with amber flecks and his short hair is a deep black that catches a gray sheen in sunlight -- when it ever sees sunlight. In the fires of the forges, however, his entire being has a red and yellow sheen to it. He walks upright and carries himself in a dignified manner. His long strides and confident movements add to a more dominant feel to him; he certainly makes no effort to dissuade such a notion, as it seems that, this way, people leave him alone.

Kavik has a fairly deep voice, not quite a bass but lower than a tenor. It's smooth and soft enough to be considered a loud murmur. It's a voice that is easy to listen to, lulling and deceptively soft. Hypnotic in the same way as the vibrant, pulsating colors on a deadly animal. He smells of ore and hot metal, but there is a hint of coldness to it as well. Somehow, he always seems to draw the shadows to him, adding a sense of mystery to this young man.

Personality

He is a slow burner -- the coldest kind of the fiery personalities. He does not simply erupt, nor does he build up to an eruption. Kavik's boiling point skips over the theatrics and goes straight to the part where someone gets burned -- but there was never any warning. Kavik will be calm and collected throughout the whole ordeal, seemingly unbothered by any fear or havoc he may have wrought.

He is a solitary creature, avoiding others at all costs. While he will do as he is told when it comes to his profession, such as "make So-And-So a sword and deliver it," he will not add any unnecessary chatter. Kavik is the type to pour his soul into a piece, present it to the owner, and leave without another word. However, he has been known to snap at said owner if he catches them handling their piece "wrong" or without "proper" care. Kavik is more attached to what he creates than he is to anyone else.

He uses his more intimidating stature and surly appearance to ward off any idle chatters -- you know the kind. The ones who pop up in the middle of a particularly difficult project to talk for hours in a one-sided conversation over dragons or the weather or some other irritating subject that Kavik has no interest in. This young man rarely expresses interest in anything or anyone outside of animals and his work, really. Then again, those two latter things are all he really knows. They are his life. He has no time for legends and weather predictions, nor does he have an ear for the latest gossip on what the baker's daughter is up to. He. Does. Not. Care.

Kavik is quite happy to be on his lonesome. Nobody gets hurt that way, and he is relatively free to do as he pleases. There is no chatter, no bustling crowds, no merchants screaming about their cheap trinkets. It's usually just him, the forge, and the clumps of ore just dying to be shaped into something magnificent. In this state, he loses some of his scary exterior and becomes quite eager. He can be almost friendly in this state, if caught at the right moment. He isn't against company if they're silent.

He is not a bad guy, no matter how hard he tries to portray himself as such. Kavik is just... very... particular, if you will, with his surroundings. He doesn't want drama or attention, and the way to avoid both of those is to avoid people entirely. Thus, that is exactly what he does.

Name:

Michael Shane Evans

Age:

18

Gender:

Male

Tribal Affiliation:

Faolain

Beast:

Open

Role:

Seeker

Rank:

Second

Appearance:

Standing at 5'7, Michael isn't the tallest person in a crowd, but isn't the shortest either. He is slender in build, which makes him seem almost delicate. But he isn't one to be underestimated. He possesses a surprising amount of strength for his appearance. Michael has a naturally pale skin tone, that usually has a light tan when he is out and about in the sun more. He has the type of skin that no matter how much he is out in the sun, it will only get a light tan; not that he wants a darker tan that is. He will only get sunburn from that. he has a few scars here and there, most of them easily covered up by his clothing. He carries at least one hidden knife on his person.

His hair color is black, a straight black, dark as a clear night with no moon to illuminate the sky. It is always cut short. He has a face shape that is soft but kind of angular, if that makes sense. He does have sharper facial features, but unlike some, his face isn't all sharp edges.

While most of him is not particularly attention-grabbing in appearance, rather ordinary in fact, his eyes are certainly eyecatching. They are colored gray. Not a shade of blue that looks light gray if you glance at them right, not gray-green or a blue-gray. No, they are a true gray. It is a highly recognizable eye color, to say the least; one does not simply come across a person with eyes the color of stone everyday.

Something unnerving about Michael, is his gaze. There is a cold, calculating look in those striking gray eyes most often than not. It is one that can make the back of one's neck prickle when being stared at for any length of time. Like he is sizing them up, analyzing, picking out strengths and weaknesses.

His natural way of movement is quiet. Not entirely silent, but quite hard to hear unless it is very quiet of if one is specifically listening for anything out of place. As a result, he has startled many others, by being there when someone turns around or being in a completely different place than he previously was in. Some find it a bit unsettling how he can so easily come up behind them with barely a whisper of noise.

Personality:

Michael is a bit of an interesting character. Like everyone, his personality has contradictions which contrast each other in a way that makes him unique from other people. At first glance, he comes off as someone of the quieter sort, not too social; a tad bit aloof even. Not very remarkable in any way. If someone watches him for a few minutes at least, then they'll notice how he seems to be watching others around him, sometimes out of the corner of his eye surreptitiously, sometimes in a blatant manner, and mostly in a casual way, looking at people with no particular focus but definitely watching them all the same. He may sometimes come off as shy, but he is not. Although he is not all too fond of being in the spotlight, as it is not in his nature to purposefully seek attention; he has no problem of being up in the thick of things, just as long as he is not the direct focus of attention. He also doesn't come off as an overly emotional person, more neutral in temperment at the first meeting; unless he has a reason not to be like that. While at first glance, Michael doesn't seem like anything special, if someone takes a closer look beyond a superfical glance, they will find an edge to that seemingly ordinary nature; calculating and alert, much like the look in his eyes. The kind of thing that very much has the potiental to be dangerous. He could easily be a villian if he so wished, he could manipulate and break. Luckily, he has no such inclination to do so; but it is something that lingers in the back of one's mind. Some people choose to keep him at an arm's distance if they notice that, not trusting him in the way that one would not trust a viper to not strike. Some choose to simply stay away from him, watching warily from the sidelines. Some act indifferent to him, treating him normally while just keeping an eye on him, just in case. He, for the most part, is naturally cautious when interacting with those he doesn't know; then opening up after he gets a bearing on their personality and such. Sometimes he'll purposefully prod at them, just to gauge their temperment further if he can't get an exact bead of them, testing the waters.

Surprisingly, this young man has a fiercer nature, and is quick to anger, but for the most part he keeps it under control, doesn't let it show, unwilling to let the other party know that they have affected him. But he will make it clear that he will not stand to be pushed around, he is not a passive person and never will be. He has to show his fangs or else be branded a pushover. He will stand up for himself, snap, fight, show that he is not to be messed with. Now, with his temperment being on the more shorter end of things, his patience is a bit shorter than someone graced with a longer fuse. He does his best to keep his emotions under control, but he is not perfect and his emotional control can slip at times. Most times, though, he only ever gets short with others, not losing his temper completely. Others are sometimes surprised when his hot-tempered nature makes an appearance, which is fair, he is one of the people one would not expect to have a temper on him. His anger is not so much explosive and blazing like fire; it is more cold and quiet and deadly like ice. Although if pushed to the very limits of his tolerence, he can certainly explode. That doesn't happen too often. Yeah, he has never been one to take things lying down, has never done that once in his life, he will fight back, even if it seems like he has accepted whatever it is, but sure that there will be retaliation. While his first impulse is to act immediately, he knows that sometimes he has to wait for what he wants, so he does as the situation and his judgement demands.

He can be quite apathetic sometimes. He just can't stand the stupidity of people, and besides, bad things happen to good people; the world has been like that for a long time and there's nothing anyone can do. And sometimes, he just cannot care. This doesn't really portray him in a good light, especially if it is the first meeting and he is like that. As long as it doesn't affect himself and those he cares about, he just can't bring himself to truly care. He isn't cruel, and he will interfere in some things, like, if a murder was about to take place and he could do something. Take his indifference as you will, it's his opinion and attitude, you cannot change it.

Michael is a person who is independent and strong of will. He is not one to back down easily, never been much of a follower, never been one to happily take orders from someone else or need instructions. Sure, he is will to someone if he knows that they know what they are doing, or if it is a matter of life or death and mere seconds are esscential in tipping the scales toward the survival of himself and others around him. He is not stupid, he knows that in those situations, obedience might be the very thing that keeps himself alive. But outside of necessity? He doesn't have a mind for obeying. It is apparent that he is not one for blind loyalty or obedience; his trust and respect has to be earned. Otherwise it can be difficult to get him to do something that he does not want to do. He's very stubborn when he wants or needs to be. Although he usually won't be stubborn without a reason. It sometimes seems to others, that he is refusing to do something just for the sake of being bullheaded. When working with others, the leader can get understandable frustrated with him going "why?" when asked or ordered to do something. He is someone who can be know as a serial dissenter, aka, a person who loves to ask questions, especially in regards to a plan: Why this? Why that? Did you consider? Do you mind explaining? He just likes to know what is going on, and he will sometime purposefully push to see how far he can go without getting in trouble. Needless to say, if he doesn't like something, he will voice it.

Michael can be somewhat manipulative if he needs to be. Usually small things: playing peoples' views of him to his advantage, taking advantage of a situation, faking something to escape punishment or to help someone out. Like if it needs to be done, then he will do it; he doesn't take it too far, and he has become pretty good at doing that. For the most part, he doesn't do it very often.

He shows care by actions mainly; sometimes he will use words for when he wants to be more subtle. This applies to romantic and platonic relationships. He knows that words can be said insincerely and/or used to manipulate. He has done that on occasion, so he could know; and therefore words isn't his first option when it comes to friendships. He's a worthy friend to have, and an enemy you do not want to have; him being slightly vengeful doesn't help. But he is very loyal.

In terms of leadership, the role is not his first option although being as he is with not liking others having authority over him, there's not many places he can fit in a group. He is a good leader, smart and cautious. And he is capable of putting down any disrespect from his underlings.

Tenatively asking if I can make a beast for Shiva Windrunner?

Reserved :) Michael is also accepted

Name:

Asteria

"Of the Stars"

Age:

70 years

Gender:

Female

Species:

Hellhound

Human:

Shiva Windrunner

Appearance:

Asteria is a rather intimidating creature, standing at a solid twelve feet tall at the shoulder, she is certainly a large beast. In shape, she resembles a wolf to a certain degree. With a massive head with a long broad muzzle attached; a lipped maw can curl back to reveal forty-two sharp teeth that are thicker and larger than a normal dog's, for she is not remotely the size of a typical dog, definitely nothing would want those teeth in their hide; and a pair of pricked ears that stand fully upright most times, but as with a german shepherd or wolf, can change position as easily as anything; she does look like a massive wolf. But of course that is not possible, she is a beast of the hellhound species. With that knowledge in mind, it is still very easy to believe that she is a wolf by appearance.

Asteria is a slender but powerfully built beast, athletic and musclar. Strength is evident in her entire body, one can practically imagine the way her muscles ripple underneath her pelt as prowls with a grace and assertiveness that predators, hunters, tend to possess. With proportionately long, strong limbs, her strides are large, combined with her increased endurance, she can move far and fast. Of course, she has her limits, and while her massive size offers disadvantages in certain situations, she is still a great chaser and it is hard to escape her when she's running at her target. And trust me, no one wants to see a massive, wolf-like dog running at you with pawsteps that shake the ground. Chances are, that sight is the last thing her prey would see. Predictably, even her paw prints are massive; and the sight of one would make most pause for a moment.

Asteria has a pelt as black as ink. Indeed, it is as dark as the shadows she is so fond of, perhaps even darker in some cases. It is quite beautiful, in the way that animals with darker colorations can be, but as with anything that hails from the shadows and wild, something best observed from a distance. Her undercoat is close to her body and dense and thick, providing protection against the cold, and to an extent, blows in combat. The outer coat consists of more courser fur, to protect against the elements, and is waterproof to an extent; if she is in drenching rain or leaps into a river or lake, then she will get wet. But for minor things, then it will shed off her fur. As a result, she has been given a sleek look, her fur not fluffy nor silky and dangling or making her look larger, not that she needs to look larger, she is massive enough as it is. She has a clear-cut outline, sleek and dangerous as a black panther.

A pair of bright eyes peer out from Asteria's inky black face. Vivid yellow in coloration, they certainly are striking; sometimes they seem to glow like the stars themselves. Her eyes hold an intensity, something akin to something lit aflame, it is like the sun itself gave her some of its power and ferocity and it all manifested in her eyes. And indeed, meeting her gaze is like staring into twin burning suns. And for many, as hard as trying to look straight into the sun. Of course, she would highly prefer it if her human half could be one of the few to successfully maintain her gaze for extended period of time.

Asteria has no trouble being menacing in appearance. Just the sight of her standing tall; lips pulled back to showcase the white teeth; her head held high and ears either shoved forward or pulled back slightly and to the sides in aggression or dominance; dark fur bristling; a growl thrumming in her throat; and eyes staring balefully at her target, is frankly terrifying. Her jaws can easily crush a human if she so wishes, or her teeth can bring death by bleeding out. Even a swipe of her paw can be dangerous for the comparatively frail human bodies. And she can easily be threatening in smaller ways; a baring of teeth or one long lethal fang; a rumbling growl that sounds like thunder is contained in her throat and chest; a pointed yawn, showing off every one of her large teeth; a snap of the poweful jaws; or even just staring down her target. Her entire being radiates menace, the air around her is that of a predator, a carnivore that is deadly and knows it. An assertiveness, self assurance and quiet, lethal confidence, the bearing of a hunter. This menacing air can easily be swapped with a much more malevolent feeling, like she is considering how to kill you, and would revel in the action.

Do not think that Asteria is slow to move or turn just because of her massive size. She is surprisingly agile and quick on her feet for something of her size; able to pivot in order to face a charging opponent in battle or to sudden face someone or something, maybe to snap around and throw herself at a beast of a similiar size. Yes, she is not as nimble as those smaller than her, but she can hold her own with something other than brute strength. It may not be apparent at first glance, and oftentimes it isn't seen by many, even though she moves with predatory grace. But she can, and she will if need be. Despite her size, she can be can quiet and stealthy if she needs to be, usually best utilized if she is still and silent as stone, part of the darkness or foliage; until she suddenly isn't still anymore and is going for her prey. But even while moving, she can be pretty quiet, and understandably that is quite scary to think about.

The vocalizations she makes are much deeper and louder than what normally comes from an animal's throat. Her low growls seems to vibrate the very air around her, if lying down, then the ground seems to shudder just slightly. Snarls issued from a normal sized to large dog are still imposing and chilling, but her snarls are even more so; the throaty growling snarls rumble like thunder coming down to earth, and seem to tear through the air. A howl of hers can probably be heard from a good distance away, loud and distinctive, a song that comes from the throat of a gigantic dog. Overall, any sounds she makes are amplified as a product of being made by an animal that is very large. They are more powerful, louder, and deeper than a noise from a regular dog or wolf or canine.



Personality:

First of all, Asteria is of a more dominant character. She has no trouble with taking the reins, and in a group setting, will be more than likely the one to claim the position as a leader. She has always been like that, even when she was very, very young; she had been the leader of her siblings from the start, the first born, the more assertive one. Usually, she doesn't stray from being dominant to domineering, the main thing being that she doesn't try to mircomanage others; sure, it can be frustrating if someone takes an order or instruction the wrong way and screws everything up, but she has no interest in being that controlling. She personally finds those who micromanage a tiny bit weird, she understands wanting things to turn out to how she plans, or just liking the role of leader; but...eh, it's a little weird in her opinion. Even when confronted with a very chaotic situation, she has no qualms taking control, in fact, she can be quite good at it; a howl or bark or growl can command others' attention quite quickly, and probably shut them up in the process. And then it's quite simple after the chaos has stopped. She is quite clearly confident, anyone looking at her can see that, it is the confidence of a hunter, an apex predator. It is not arrogance, almost never veers into that territory, but it is confidence all the same; she knows what she is doing a good amount of the time.

At heart, Asteria is someone is efficient, and one of the more irking things in anyone she can think of is inefficiency. She values that and competence in someone, at least they know what she means by getting something done well without wasting time or precious resources in the task. Honestly, some people. And laziness is not to be tolerated with her, she doesn't care if you are tired or don't want to do it, you have to pull your weight or else. She is definitely intelligent, and calculating; and it can help when it comes to tactical decisions or just in general, taking a close look at things and then deciding if a plan isn't probably going to go well or something else. Honestly, she isn't someone you want to get on the bad side of, that calculating nature can turned on others quite easily, don't forget that.

Now, she is not a nice creature. Ruthless and and cold, she simply doesn't care about anyone, unless it concerns her or her human that is; but to others? She couldn't give a damn. Do not try go looking for pity or compassion with her, because you will not find it or be granted it; if you wrong her, then she will most likely kill the offender. Even if they manage to get away, she will find the offender and take her revenge, even if she has to wait for it; she can live a long time, she can certainly afford to wait, especially if there are more pressing matters. But she will not forget. She is not someone who puts on an act of being cruel, of being pitiless, but is secretly compassionate and kind; no, erase your thoughts of that idea this very instant. That is certainly not a true idea. She is ruthless, and that is all there is to it. In fact, she thrills at killing something, or fighting. And is definitely is capable of both those things.

She is observant, even if she didn't want to be, her abilities of enhanced hearing and a very good sense of smell would pick up things whether she wanted to know or hear them or not. It is hard not to listen in to conversations, when you can easily hear them. A gift and a curse, she can be sensitive to particularly strong ordors and sounds, depending on how bad or loud the things is, it can range from inconvenient to annoying or distracting to downright painful. Anyways, she usually has a good grasp on what is going on in a group, both by watching them and listening, and of course, by sense of smell. Not much escapes her attention, even asleep it seems like she is still keeping an ear out for any suspicious activity, or anything else that demands her attention.

Not surprisingly, she is a very fierce creature. It can be seen in her eyes, in a battle, in appearance even. She is a fighter, and is vicious when she needs to be, and sometimes when she doesn't. Just by looking at her, someone would know that she isn't one to be messed with, but if a particularly foolhardy individual decides to test her, then she will gladly teach them a lesson in not provoking the gigantic dog that is on the more aggressive and fierce side. I mean, she is not passive, has never been and will never be; and anyone who thinks she is of a more meek personality will end up regretting that thought. She can be more aggressive sometimes if the mood strikes her, she can usually be seen snapping her jaws occasionally when she is in that more restless or irritated mood; as if wanting to sink her teeth into something living, taste blood on her tongue, to bite down hard as she can and feel whatever is in her jaws to crumple and yield to her strength.

When is comes to a human partner, she has several things in mind for the ideal partner. One thing, is that despite her proclivity to taking control and her dominant nature, she wants an equal relationship; after all, it is a partnership that lasts as long as they can live. She will not choose a human that seems like a pushover, she wants someone who has steel in their spine, will not back down to her. She doesn't want the human to be afraid of her, whomever she bonds with will be her partner for life, as it is with all the other bonded humans and beasts. Another thing is intelligence, at least she can get along with those who are on the smarter side better. Ans several other things, she sometimes isn't sure what they are, but she knows that she will choose a human who fits her when it comes to it.

Asteria can be gentle at times, usually seen by anyone close to her, a partner for example. She is not all hard edges, although it can certainly seem like that. It is not often that she shows that side of her. The closest it comes to is lying near the person in question. She is more prone to show her support and fondness by actions, or tolerating things she wouldn't normally tolerate. If someone disrespects whomever she is close to, then unless asked to stand down, she will bare her teeth in warning or something else to show that she still backs up a decision. Not particularly demonstrative in affection, she can come off as uncaring to her partner, but if someone knows how she is, then it becomes obvious that she shows her fondness in a different way than what some may expect.
