No scars are visible but if you can your hand along his back the opposite direction of his fur you can feel four indentations stretching from his left shoulder down his lower back.

Around the back side of his jaw, neck, on the back of his head and as well as other areas you can see the fur length starting to appear longer. Evened out stages of his fur lengthening. The rest of his fur is medium in length, to the point you can run your fingers through it.

His adopted father also taught him to choose his fights carefully, and a good amount of fights can be won without the need of a weapon or beating someone to a pulp. Atka is usually lax in behavior despite his appearance. He is also naturally honest but even so he will tell a bluff or two when it's needed. Though given his good nature Atka can get rather fierce when pushed in the right direction. He is determined to accomplish his goals even with the difficulties that are involved. Atka also has no sense of fear towards a small majority of situations. Lastly Atka's intelligence is that of an average person. He is clever enough to pick up on new skills, but some things take longer to master than others.[/indent][color=f26522][b]Everyday Skills:[/b][/color] [indent][list][*]Farming [*]Swimming [*]Small Game Hunting [*]Reading and Writing [*]Kitchen Work [*]Gathering Wild Vegetation/Herbs/Edible Plants[/list][/indent][color=f26522][b]Personal Flaws:[/b][/color][indent][list][*]Math, simple problems are okay.

His sees his weapons as useful tools and would rather not use them in skirmishes and/or battle. Atka sees his claws as reliable weapons, since they are apart of him. But would rather throw punches than tear at someone's flesh. In the end Atka refrains from touching anyone if he can in fear he might end up scratching them accidentally. If Atka could get a handle on using magic he would gladly use it. In the end Atka sees himself as a natural weapon and rather stick to that than using anything that isn't part of himself.[/indent][color=f26522][b]Background Story:[/b][/color] [indent]Akta was found by his adoptive parents, who are Nords, when he was just an infant. They themselves had just lost their own child to a terrible fever and in their grief decided to look after him until they can find other arrangements. They were hoping for a band of traveling Khajiits to pass on by for they felt he would have been better off with his own kind than in an orphanage. Even though Khajiits rarely travel through their small town. The couple even refused to give him an name in fear of getting too attached. After a few weeks of adjusting to their supposed temporary guest the couple soon realized they wouldn't be able to part with the infant even when the opportunity did arise for him be with his own kind. Since they felt that way they decided to officially adopted him as his own despite the other town's people protesting to the idea. Later the couple gave him the name Atka. Growing up outside of Solitude wasn't easy. Atka, thankfully was raised in a loving home or he would have turned out completely different than the man he is now. But at times he felt the strain from being highly different everyone else. The town's folk would ridicule him whenever they got the chance. Either by throwing mud at him as he walked away, name calling and so on. Sometimes they wouldn't just take pleasure in tormenting him, they would target his parents as well. Such as refusing to do business with them. Or choose to be plain out difficult. The reason being the people of Solitude have no fondness for Atka's kind. Or anyone that didn't look human. They were especially difficult when his family would have a bad year with the crops Atka would take on odd jobs in order to help earn enough coin just pay off the landlord. The jobs given to him were near impossible tasks to accomplish, in an end result to one of those tasks he ended up being attacked by a frost troll. Even with the unpleasantness of others there were a few people who looked passed the fur, claws, tail and all. Those few weren't typically from Solidute and had an outsiders point of view. Those people gave him hope and were able to help deter him from seeing just the negativity in life. Atka one day hopes he can prove himself worthy of being treated as an equal. Until that day comes he will continue to fight the invisible battle within.[/indent]
