Personality: It should first be noted that, while this may or may not come as a surprise to some, Ferrin is quite young for an Akalak, with a background of only 37 years. Whether or not his age has any relevance to his attitude is questionable.
Intelligent and witty, he is known to insult and antagonize anyone, from enemies to those he cares deeply for. He speaks his mind when he feels he should, though he is not typically one to talk much. Socialization is an awkward and alien thing which he prefers to avoid at all costs, yet his need for the companionship of others often creates unusual situations in which he lingers around crowds and groups. He highly dislikes intimate contact and has no concept whatsoever of it; only the very basics of the birds and the bees. He detests the fact that he surely ought to be looking for a mate of some kind in order to help rebuild the dying population of his species, but has been evading this heavy responsibility for some time.
He is arrogant and a bit aloof, chin often held high and stature that of a man who is fully confident. His voice, low and somewhat raspy, nearly always remains flat in tone and carries a hint of cynicism. He does not comprehend jokes most of the time, and is uncomfortable around the affection of others.
This is not to say he is generically cold hearted. He has a habit of brooding and often these silent times to himself involve the complexity of his own emotions, trying to understand their meanings and gain control over them. He is severely loyal to those he respects and trusts, though that very respect is difficult to gain. He loathes those who are weak and shows no discrimination to women, men, or children.
Ferrin's ignorance (and disdain) towards intimacy and companionship has lead to many situations in which he has (without knowing) offended and upset a number of women.
With an upbringing that consisted of battling since he could walk, Ferrin lives for fighting. His only goal in life is to becoming better, faster, and stronger, and he is skilled at picking fights. When unable to find a worthy opponent, he has a habit of getting moody, traveling around in search of new adventure to satiate his depression. Second Soul: Ferrin's second soul is referred to as the Beast, and he perceives it as such. It is a violent and instinctive creature, more aggressive than anything and animal-like in nature. The second soul is generally seen during battle or at times of extreme distress, and as much as he would hate to admit, has saved his life on a few occasions. It is witty and sarcastic, far less introverted than he and potentially more intelligent. Biography: To come.
