Moonfox

mizukitsune

Name: Moonfox k'Treva

Age: 22 (m?/d?)

Position: Herald Trainee - 1st year, Tayledras Scout

Gifts: Strong Animal Mindspeech, average Mindspeech

Appearance: Moonfox is rather typical looking for a Tayledras scout. He is about 5'10" and quite lean, weighing about 160 lbs. Naturally, his hark is near black and straight, like most of the Hawkbrothers, but right now it is dyed white, gray, and brown, the colors of a winter forest. His eyes are piercing blue and his skin is pale gold from lack of sunlight. His face is strong featured, and might be considered handsome, though fierce looking. He has the typical Tayledras nose. He's got a few scars from his rough life, but most of them are new, including the one above his right eyebrow which is still red and raw. Clothing wise, he's fond of greens, blues and browns, but right now he's wearing the winter camouflage of a scout.

Personality: Moonfox generally is an intelligent and caring person with a good sense of humor. But for reasons that his history will make plain, lately he's been a different person. He has become more solitary, and despite his Companions attentions, all his actions are shadowed by grief. Lately he's also become rather irritable, as if there is a current of anger just under the surface. Surely a Mindhealer in Haven will be able to help him return to his normal behavior. Which is, he loves to laugh, and his intelligence gives him a reputation as a somewhat dry comedian. Though he shared the uninhibited nature of all his race, he's not one to run around too much and prefers committed relationships, even if only for a few months. He's not usually an angry person, he forgives easily, and might be considered somewhat of an idealist. He expects everyone to do their best because he always does.
He's a determined, even stubborn sort of person, and an early riser. Though he has no trouble making friends, he does like to have his moments of solitude, just to collect his thoughts.
Moonfox is not arrogant, but he is sure of his abilities, and likes to help other people with their problems. Some people think he's nosy.

Short Life Story: Moonfox was born in the Vale, the oldest child of generally caring parents. His father is a master mage, and his mother is a healer sothey expected him to have some of those talents. But it turned out, that besides Mindspeech, a gift not often used by the Tayledras except with their bondbirds, he was pretty average. So they encouraged him to develop skills in the bow and in knife fighting and were delighted when he bonded his first bird, a peregrine falcon named Cresk. Moonfox enjoyed his training and relished the time outdoors with Cresk, though scouting could get boring, especially since he had none of the powers that would help him to cleanse the lands of their taint. He made friends, both inside the Vale and among the other scouts, and his childhood and teenage years were generally happy and peaceful. He had a few romantic liaisons, some longer and some shorter, but nothing earth-shattering and most of them ended amicably on both sides. But as he got into his twenties, things began to change outside the Vale.Intrusions became more common, and the scouts came back with injuries, some serious, There were rumors that magic had been involved. Moonfox found himself spending more and more time outside the Vale, and actually began to miss the hot springs, especially during the winter.
This winter has been particularly hard. His best friend among the scouts, Fogsinger, had been injured and would remain in the Vale until spring. Moonfox and the other scouts had been tracking a small group for about three days before deciding that the trespassers had gone too far. They came out of the trees to give their warning, but apparently had been expected. The band of scouts was forced to retreat and send for backup when it turned out that one of the travelers was a strong mage in disguise. The retreat did not have the desired effect, they were pursued. And then, the event happened that changed Moonfox's life. His peregrine Cresk, was felled from the sky by magic. The feeling of the bond snapping was unbearable, Moonfox thought he would go mad in that moment. Backup arrived, finally, but for Cresk it was too late. The interlopers were chased off, and everyone returned to the Vale, but Moonfox found it hollow and empty. He could have gotten a new bondbird, or gone to a Mindhealer for help, but stubborn as he was, he wanted revenge. In the middle of the night he left his ekele, leaving only a note and went in pursuit of Cresk's killers. They had turned toward Valdemar, and that's where he went as well, though
it took nearly a month of hard winter travel to reach the border. He didn't really know when he crossed as he was still in the forest, but it must have been soon after that he was approached by a horse. A horse so white it was hard to see against the snowy backdrop.

Bondbird: Cresk- deceased

Companion: Rhosyn
Description: Rhosyn is nothing like her bonded in looks or personality. She is gentle, retiring, even shy compared to most companions, and rather serious. In looks she is very delicate looking, almost ethereal, and small in stature. But she is as hardy as any other Companion, despite her looks, and she is loyal, intelligent, and an excellent listener in more ways than one. Though she pretends innocence, Rhosyn is a bit sneaky, and seems to know everything about everyone. She's actually rather cunning, a good compliment to her partners reckless naivete.

Family: Winterwolf k'Treva, father, Rainshadow k'Treva mother, Springleaf k'Treva, sister
