Name:Snarl age:11 Born 5th of winter 501 height:5 foot 6 inches weight: 110 lbs physical description: Snarl is small for a male zith, barely reaching 5 foot and 6 inches, his entire body is covered in a fine layer of night black fur. The much thicker and longer fur from the elbow and knee down is a dark red that blends fairly well into the dark, his hair is the same color and is long enough it hangs slightly over his shoulders. Usually though snarl uses a small piece of string to tie it back, at ifrst he just did it because he had seen a few humans do it and wondered what the deal of it was, but when he figured out that it also kept his hair from getting in his face he made it a habit. Aside the fur and blood red haircolor there isn't anything else striking about him, except the batlike wings that every zith have. But that is only a suprise to non-zith. Most zith are rather used to seeing those. personality: -puts a lot of stock in staying alive -rather a bit of a coward and fairly panicky -ruthless opportunist -quite intrigued by human civilization. Wants to be a part of it and has tried teaching himself some of the mannerisms with.. mixed success -Hates being called small. History: Snarl was born in a small travelling zith clan in the kalea. It quickly became apparent to the entire family that he was a runt. Not only was he a good deal smaller then other male zith, he was also a rather panicky coward that didn't have much skill in hunting. His never-ending curiosity about things that weren't necessary for survival was a constant pain and more then once he managed to ruin an ambush on a human caravan of some sort because he accidentally messed something up while trying to observe them and their ways. They didn't understand him and his fascination with humans, or civilization as he always corrected them. And before long Snarl was isolated from his clan, always given the worst jobs that needed doing, like getting rid of the waste or scouting out ahead when armed humans where around in the vicinity. They didn't want to deal with his absurdity any more and were probably hoping that he got himself killed and out of his hair. Snarl however was and still is a coward but more importantly he isn't stupid and caught on to his families little intent as soon as they gave him the first job that had a big chance of him ending up dead he cut his losses and bolted from them. He was pretty sure that they would quickly tire of giving him jobs that had a chance of killing him and ripped him to shreds in annoyance. Either way, dead or fled, he was out of the clan's way so they didn't care to follow him. Up until now he has been wandering in kalea, staying close to the city of lhavit. He can't go inside,knowing that people will just murder him if he does but he can get occasional glimpses of civilized people on the road he can study. And once he even managed to get to talk with a traveling caravan! Granted they didn't want him to approach more then a few wingspans and kept their weapons firmly trained on him. But they actually talked to him and answered a few questions! His resolve strengthened by that little success he has kept around the city of lhavit. Passionatly working on the great puzzle that was civilized life, knowing that if he solves it there is no doubt he can enter the city and live in it like every civilized person can. |
