Deakus Treehowler

[Deakus]

Physical Description Deakus' physique is performance orientated, geared towards endurance rather than strength or the aesthetic. His muscles are not overly large and are instead chiselled into definition. He has a lean figure that holds some well sculpted muscle, is slim for his height but has a taut strength which belies his gaunt frame. He doesn’t appear overtly powerful at first glance more just tall and limber, but his athletic muscles have been strengthened by experience and many hard learned lessons. Deakus has a strong jaw line and an un-creased brow with piercingly blue eyes. There is wisdom and a sadness there beyond his years. His jet black hair is habitually tousled and unkempt and is long enough to fall over his eyes. A life in the mountains, moving from one place to another constantly has given him a dishevelled appearance which has become engrained within his nature over the years. He has an open and honest, good natured countenance and these earnest looks have been useful in the past for gaining peoples trust. Rough strong hands are complemented with dextrous skilful fingers. Broad enough shoulders are flanked by long firm arm muscles and his toned chest leads to a faint line of washboard abs. He has the body of a man born and raised in the wild, hard, worn and tough as old leather. Wearing a light armour weave made from wolf pelts and treated bone he appears at first glance to be a feral barbaric thing. The garb though is customary to him, and not a reflection of his character. In fact in sharp contrast to how he appears Deakus is quite civil and mild mannered. Life in the Sea of Grass is a hard and simple existence. The very grass can strangle the strongest men, and the creatures that dwell within it are far worse. Much of Deakus' clothing is nothing more than leather, fur and bone. He wields a bastard sword, with a great sword strapped to his back. Both weapons he wields with a veteran’s deftness and a short bow made from bone hangs from his pack with which he is also skilled.

Character Concept There is nothing that Deakus values more than honor and companionship. While he is a Drykas born of battle, and born to hunt, there is nothing that compares to friendship. He would gladly die for those he cares about, and knows that one day he is going to do so anyway. Deakus would rather die for a loved one than for nothing, and that is a moral he follows each and every day of his life. He is a stoic, brave man, and there is little that he truly fears. He has spoken the common tongue all his life, and can nearly speak it as fluently as he speaks his own language. This has allowed him to interact with the rest of the lands, instead of staying within his own pavilion. He is part of the Diamond Clan, and as such his horse and sword have become extensions of himself, and Deakus sees even them as close allies. Without them, he would surely fall. His value for companionship has allowed him to get far in life, and has allowed him to make friends from outside his own clan. Deakus only wishes to travel the lands, with intention of meeting and befriending as many people as he can find. Despite this love for meeting new people, Deakus' family traits also come to play, and there is nothing he loves more than a good fight. He despises Nuit and all species that spread evil across the lands, and is generally more than happy to remove a head from shoulders if the situation deems it necessary. Overall, he is a friendly man.. though at times has a short temper, only waiting to be unleashed upon those that provoke it. He would never harm a friend, though is always willing to help one in need. Or anyone in need, for that matter. Character History There is not much to Deakus' history. It is like any other of his clan, or his people in general. He was born and raised in the Sea of Grass, amongst a family within the Diamond Clan known as the Treehowler. The Treehowler were expert huntsman, skilled with both a bow and a one-handed axe. Deakus was taught to use both from an early age, and soon his arse became glued to the saddle, his horse itself becoming an extension of his own being. He named his steed 'Staghelm', a name his mother called him for reasons he did not know. His mother died at a young age from illnesses, and his father followed shortly afterward in battle. After losing both parents, Deakus soon grew apart from his pavilion; always loyal, yet always roaming..

Hi there! I'm not a character sheet liaison or anything and I know you're still creating and all, but I just spotted on your CS skill points that you've got 50 points. Drykas get +10 racial bonus points in riding as well as the starting pack 50. I also think, (but you might want to check with a storyteller), that to have duel wielding as a skill, you must be competent level in the weapons you want to duel wield in as a pre-requisite. eg; Duel wielding with dagger and sword requires competent level in both of those weapons. Duel wielding with two daggers, would only require competent level with a dagger. Hope that helps! Your character looks amazing, and I hope we can role-play together at some point. Ari.
