RIV Played By: Daystar Cub Name (if any): None. Previous Names (if any): None. Soulname: None. Race: Go-Back. Gender: Male. Age: 16 Height: a handspan or so shorter than an average Go-Back. He might still grow a little, though. Build: Even though he's of average build, he weights surprisingly little, much to his own frustration. He's rather strong for a teenaged kid but it's not much use when almost everybody can just pick him up by the back of his shirt… Hair Color: Silvery white and straight, his hair reaches to about his chin and is kept in place with a headband. Eyes: Silvery gray, somewhat angular. Skin Color: pale, but can gain a light tan. Facial Features: round and strong-jawed face, good-looking and kind of boyish. Thin lips that curve more often in a bitter smirk than a real smile. Voice: Harsh, and often raised in anger. Mental Voice: Angry and often bitter. He rarely sends. Scars, Birthmarks, Etc.: Nothing major really. He tends to have at least one bruise at all times, from picking a fight or falling from a tree or such, though. Occupation: Hunter (if you can bully him into it. He'd rather attack something that fights back.) Lovemate: None. (doesn't show any interest in females) Lifemate: None. Recognized: No. Family: Miri (mother, deceased). Children: None. Usual Clothing: traveling boots, ragged and patched pants and long-sleeved shirt. Heavy Clothing: long hooded jacket and knee-length fur-lined boots with his usual pants Light Clothing: Why bother with separate clothes? If it gets too hot, he removes his shirt and boots (if the terrain allows it). Jewelry/Adornments: None. Weapons/Tools: He's decent with spear and his flint dagger, but his favorite weapon is his fists. Special Items: Nothing. No good to get attached to anything. Magic: Weak Sending. Fears: Trusting people, because it gives them a chance to hurt you Likes: Being alone. Really! (In reality he's not really sure what he likes. If he likes anything or anyone at all.) Dislikes: Being given orders, someone trying to get too close to him. Personality: Headstrong, and with his mouth and temper equally foul, Riv isn't the type to let anyone get close to him easily even if they wanted to. Even though he knows no other tribe, he doesn't really consider any of them 'family'. Because of this, he's mostly alone - whether he likes it that way or not is impossible to say - shunning possible friends and lovemates alike. He also has a tendency to get into fist fights with anyone he considers hostile, and has gotten both really good in it and quite resilient to others' punches. Sees Self As: Someone whose life everybody's trying to make miserable but who doesn't let them order him around. History: Riv was very little when Griel's group left their tribe and doesn't remember anything about the others. His earliest memory is crying for his mother and being told that he would never see her again. She had left him! His mother had left him! Too young to understand that she had probably frozen to death, Riv became bitter over his loss and began believing that it had all happened just to hurt him. So he refused to form any mother-son bond with the other females raising him - or any bonds with anyone for that matter. They'd just leave him, too. He's never heard the Call, but he doesn't really have anywhere else to go either, so he sticks with Griel's group. Quote: "Go jump off a cliff!" or "WHAAAT?! Don't talk to me like that!"
