Rhorin Gale
Race: Human
Age: 23
Date of Birth: 49th of Fall, 493
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Gale stands at a six foot, four inches. His tall build is well toned by his profession as a hunter and his various hobbies. He believes his silver-gray hair and fair skin to be inherited from his Konti mother, as well as his murky blue eyes. The prior aspect is not exactly natural, and at times his roots may peak, showing dark brown hair.
Place of Birth: Zeltiva
Place of Residence: Zeltiva
Character Concept:
Gale has inherited his mother's quiet demeanor, but his father's hardiness. He may lack the acquatic features of his mother, but still enjoys the water - just as much as the forests just beyond Zeltiva. Coming of age, he chose to follow in his father's footsteps, taking up the bow and becoming a hunter, even taking to living out in the woodland most of the year. Of course, he is smart enough to know not to venture too far from the city.
Though many might hear his chosen lifestyle and think him a solitary man, he does venture into town frequently for human contact, even if it only means a bit of bartering and a meal of more than simple meats. Once in a while, he may even venture into the shadier part of town for a bit of entertainment.
History:
Gale has had a content life with his Konti mother, three sisters (all Konti) and his father, a human. Unbeknownst to him, his family is not exactly the way he perceives it.
He was found as an infant deposited in an alley in the Old Quarter. He was alone, hidden safely in an old oaken cradle. Discovered by a simple hunter coming to sell his catch of the day, the man attempted to find the infant's parents. None claimed the child, so the hunter brought him home. His wife, a Konti sailor, and their daughter instantly bonded with the infant.
Gale grew up ignorant, happily accepting things as they seemed. His mother was his mother, his father was his father. His elder sister was a pain, but still his sister. When his little siblings came about, he did not question why they were both girls. Unlucky, he'd always guess. It just meant he had more bonding time with his father, being none of the other girls thought "hunting" was a fun way to spend time.
Still, he loved bonding with the women of his family. Often they would wind up washing each other's hair with special soaps, and trying out fancy braids on him that made his silver locks look even more queer. To this day he still has this little ritual, once or twice a week. Little does he know, the "special soaps" contain just enough lye to bleach his hair, prolonging the ruse that he inherited his odd hair from his Konti mother.
During most of his demasculating bonding time with his siblings and mother, the conversation would devolve into Kontinese. Though he never learned enough to be fluent, or how to write it too well, he learned enough to hold a basic conversation and quite a bit to do with hair, sea shells and ways to use seaweed as a facial cleanser.
His balance between the sea and the forest has always been a difficult choice, but his father insisted he learned a trade. Hunting seemed easier than sitting in one place and fishing. His siblings could breath underwater, but he had to rely on a rod. He simply had too much energy for that.
Merits
Flaws:
Equipment
Housing
Gale may stay a night or two at the World's End Grotto when he desires comfort, but for the most part he stays out in the forest not too far from town. His campsite moves now and then for safety's sake and often remains high up in the trees, out of obvious view.

Merits
- Gale has a good heart and tends to be an honest, upfront kind of man.
- He may often offer bits of meat to the hungry, pelts to the cold or advice to the lost.
- He functions well both solitary and in small to medium groups of people.
Flaws:
- In large groups, Gale tends to become uncomfortable, and sometimes displays issues with personal space.
- When the truth can lead to endangering another for no good cause, he will outright refuse to answer.
- He does not drink to excess often, but when he does Gale is an erratic drunk. He is not an angry drunk, but perverse towards women and an alpha male towards other men.
