CH. I – Painting a Portrait
His skin is a swarthy brown, tanned like most Adelans. His hair is long, reaching just above his shoulders and choppily cut. The strands are dark and somehow reflective against light at times, a feat he isn't fond of. Years have training have lest his body lean and mean, but built for battle if necessary. Scars pale here and there along his arms and chest, although they are not remarkable.

+ NOTABLE MARKS +
Animal tattoos mark most of his back and lower belly, winged birds of prey, a serpent coiled on his lower back, and other such creatures.

CH II – Mental Make-up
Attila is, in so few words, bitter. He doesn't try to be. He just is. Very set in his ways, he prefers Hylea's or his sister's company to most others, and when he's around other people he tends to be separate from them.  He's thoughtful in his quiet, treasuring his solitude.

In his mind, form must follow function, and practical in nature and in practice. Nothing he uses is wasted, least of all food, and nothing he does is without reason or as a means to an end. What he lacks in spontaneity is generally made up for in his over all dedication.

[Will add more as I play him.]

+ FAITH +
Spiritual, deeply so, praying to his ancestors and able to hear the spirits around him while in deep meditation. Acknowledges there is more to this world than at first meets the eye.

+ HABITS +
Hunting and sparring, recreational drinking

+ RELATIONSHIPS +
Vaulder Armok, Father, 55, Alive
Medea Cassander, Mother, 44, Alive
Vander Armok, Brother, 18, Deceased
Calla Armok, Sister, 28, Alive – Knight

Hylea, Dragon,
   A swift and lean beast with dull-dark blue scales and a white chest. Her horns curl around her head and her wings are a mix of blue and green

CH IV – Abilities / Skills
+ HAND-TO-HAND +
Vaulder expected much of him as a young boy, and taught the boy to fight by force. Vaulder wasn't the perfect father, but he did what he felt was necessary to the survival of his family, teaching them to survive in a world that would not give them sympathy. Attila is capable of defending himself, and seeking out weaknesses that might otherwise not be considered.

+ RANGER +
A skilled hunter and tracker from youth, these skills aid Attila greatly when taking to the skies.  He's exceedingly patient, accustomed to waiting weeks for a kill, and a talented archer. He has some ability with javelin, but is admittedly better with his barbed lance if it comes to direct combat.

CH V – Gear / Equipment
Scale armor, riding gear, his bow and lance are all he really carries with him.

CH VI – Reflections of the Past
When a bandit of little renown knocks up a prostitute and decides to do right by her, the play at being a family is tentative at best. Vaulder and Medea had three children before Medea decided being a mother was not for her and vanished to the four winds. There was some talk of her being a witch, but Attila learned no truth to it.

He was the youngest of the three, raised much like his older siblings, and relied on them mostly for any sense of comfort, since there was none to be had from their father. Danir was a small village nestled in the southern edge of the Thunderblacks. Largely hidden away, they got by with what they hunted or traded.

He was 16 when a dragonling attacked his village.  She was a young creature, driven mad by the pain of the barbed collar she wore, from smugglers that tried to capture her. She stopped her assault suddenly, testing Attila's fortitude. Seeing that she was that in pain, Attila approached with caution and clipped the collar from her neck. She ceased her attack and flew away.

His older brother Vander died in the attack, to which Vaulder blamed Attila for, even to this day, claiming that if he'd just gotten to him sooner, his brother might be alive.

His sister took him to a Meeting with the dragons, knowing that if one responded, another might. It was there he found Hylea, the scars evident around her neck. Remembering the gesture he had made, she chose him as her rider and they've been together ever since.
