[hider=Polaris Yukon][center] [img]http://i.imgur.com/fDlPwQW.png?1[/img] [i]"I'm not one for talking."[/i] [b][u]Full Name[/u][/b] Polaris Yukon [b][u]Nickname(s)[/u][/b] None. [b][u]Gender[/u][/b] Male [b][u]Age[/u][/b] 28 [b][u]Weapon & Armor[/u][/b] Specializes in polearm weapons and usually sticks to his lance, [i][b]Farkas[/b][/i]. Like most who choose the lance, he also carries a javelin that is used as a strategic "back-up" weapon of sorts, but doesn't use it as often. He does not wear sturdy armor, but instead, sticks to light armor for increased mobility through the snow and mountains which comes in two different colors: black and white. He owns both. [b][u]Normal Attire[/u][/b] Seen in the image above. [b][u]Items[/u][/b] Always carries an icepick, a bag of rabbit leg in the case of being lost in a snow storm and a knife that can only be used for sharpening weapons or skinning any form of hunt. [b][u]Biography:[/u][/b] When Polaris was a child, a disease had swept through the settlement killing many. While infected by it, he was able to survive only to become a street urchin at a tender age. Looked after by his neighbors and elders, he was mentored by a retired hunter who had lost all three of her children to the same disease. Hardening himself through training and harsh winters, he later became a respectful officer of the land with his lance and a heart of steel. Not considered the "best warrior" by far, he won his position of leader from being voted in as an "honorable hero" of sorts. He gained his position after taking leadership in a fight to the death against a surprise massacre. Many lost their lives and Polaris was believed to be among them. Though the circumstances of this skirmish in particular is not known to other Tribes. [b][u]Additional Information:[/u][/b] Viewed as cold and harsh by others and a bit of a brute on the battlefield for his strategic mind. He, however, does not resort to what one may refer to as "dirty means" or surprise attacks due to his proud ways, which can be more often seen as reckless than anything else. He is an extremely talented dancer and seems to enjoy fishing more than hunting. [b]---[/b] [b][u]Tribe Name[/u][/b] Glacerias [b][u]Tribe Description[/u][/b] A tribe of proud hunters and warriors.
