PHYSICAL APPEARANCE


Art: Takoda || Glamor Shot || Wild Forms
Art Credit:  Sheppard56

A wild mane of very dark hair hangs to his shoulders, usually decorated with beads and fathers – both favorite decorative items in general. He's got amber brown eyes and a rugged, very handsome face. There's usually a bit of a five o'clock shadow gracing his strong jaw. Takoda usually wears red body paint.

Speaking of bodies, he's got one; a very muscular and strong one that he likes to show off. While he loves his paint and beaded jewelry, clothes are another matter entirely. Oh sure, he knows that when in polite society one is expected to cover up, but he doesn't spend a great deal of time in polite society. When in the wilds a loincloth is more than enough coverage.

If he has to go where there are a lot of people he'll throw on some pants.

Sometimes.



PERSONALITY

There is definitely certain wildness to Takoda. He is a man that has embraced his animalistic instincts with gusto. Given the very remote and uncivilized nature of his life so far, it really shouldn't be surprising. When it comes to people he remembers enough to get by when he does have a run in with someone, usually approaching people with a mix of curiosity and caution.

When left to his own devices he generally does just enough work to get by. Some might consider this lazy, but he just does what most natural predators do – conserves energy through sleeping the hotter parts of the day away and hunting at night.



SKILLS
Talents/skills:
Mainly just a survivalist, he hunts, fishes, and forages. He's got a pretty broad range of skills focused on self-sufficiency.

Magic Abilities:
Not sure if it is magical as much as a fundamental part of who and what he is, but he can shift into three animals: a bear, raven, and wolf.



BACKSTORY

Takoda isn't young, so you would think he'd have some interesting history, but you'd be wrong. His mother was an Adelan woman that was captured and taken as a slave by some Duhjari. His father was one of her captors.

He was raised in the plains, more or less running as wild and free as he pleased until he was seven or eight. That's when his mother escaped and returned to Adela proper, taking him with her.  Well, she took him into the forest that bordered the plains and then abandoned him there.

Takoda took it in stride even for his age. Surviving in the wild, alone, came rather naturally. At age ten he began shifting, which helped ease his new way of life even further. He doesn't even miss living with his wandering Duhjari horde.
