And once more, as routine for almost every single FE RP I've been on, here's my Manakete dude. [hider=Feri] [center][img]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oxcuGn8yNfU/Vbjq8CK0x4I/AAAAAAAAESo/ffmKvvKPPRc/s1600/Rowan%2B4.jpg[/img][/center] [color=00aeef][b]Appearance:[/b][/color] Ferrian stands at a height of 5'10, but can often be found hunching over, which reduces him to 5'8. A mop of white unruly hair sits upon his head which he usually keeps short and manageable. He has stormy gray eyes that are usually found with less emotion than what to be expected. Like his Manakete kin, he has pointed ears and has pointed fangs - but not as prominent as his other kin. His tribe of Manaketes had a tradition of putting tattoos on their fully-grown males whereas the females would be given specially made crowns or tiaras; hence the white tattoo that can be found on his face. He typically wears an old, beat-up brown cloak with a hood usually covering his head to hide his pointed ears. He has normal clothes underneath, which is rather light so as to preserve his agility and speed. His Dragonstone is embedded on an arm brace which is tightly secured on him. He usually hides this under his cloak so no one would suspect it.

There are certain seasons where they leave, and then come back at a certain place. Humans have often called this their migrating season, and villages where stops were usually made have started to prepare a sort of feast for the Manaketes in exchange for either money or protection or whatever they needed at the time. This led to the tribe having a good relationship with the humans. The Manakete tribe broke up around the third century of Ferrian's life - but not because of infighting, but merely because of the want of others to travel and others to stay. Ferrian, joining his parents and two younger siblings, stayed on the outskirts of Lizberia and would often interact with the scholarly humans. They were more than happy to help them in their pursuits for knowledge, and the long lived Manaketes were just a source of them. Ferrian often found himself asleep within the walls of Lizberia, but would not make friends with the humans because of their short lifespans. As time passed by, his family moved to the mountains near Razelia to slumber. When the Moon Kingdom disturbed Gaia's sleep and began to wreak havoc, the people of Lizberia sought to wake up the family. When the Manaketes were awoken from their sleep, they did not even hesitate to help. Gathering old Manakete companions who were willing to help, they plunged themselves into the war with the vigor of monsters. It had been a very long while since they were allowed violence. However, even the Manaketes were no match for Gaia's forces, especially since they were placed in the front lines constantly as they can fight more than their less durable companions. Nearing the end of Gaia's war, there were only two Manaketes left - Ferrian and his younger sister. Ferrian managed to convince his younger sister to stop fighting as he feared losing her. She was left in an undisclosed mountain where she could slumber and recuperate from her wounds, away from the fighting. Ferrian continued on and the war had ended, but he had sustained grievous wounds. He was invited to Archanea to slumber. They had made him a secret area where only the royals knew of the place and could enter so that he would not be disturbed unless they truly needed to. Years after, Ferrian has woken up from him slumber with his wounds healed. He ventured out into the world. With the knowledge that Lizberia was no more, replaced by the ruthless Varjo, and the tensions rising between the so-called allies, he fears for the fickleness of the peace there is now. He doesn't actively search for his lost sister, but does think about her frequently and how she is doing now. Had she survived all those years without him? Nevertheless, he continues on with life - curious as to where the world will be going now. [color=00aeef][b]Personality:[/b][/color] Ferrian is usually a calm and collected person - driven by logic instead of emotion. He doesn't seem to be easily swayed by emotions as he has been hardened to not feel anything anymore. After losing an entire tribe of fellow Manaketes, friends and his own family, he seems to have let go of it. However, this doesn't mean he doesn't display any emotion. He can often be seen smiling, laughing even, or sometimes even frustrated - but he never displays them to the extreme. More often than not, he doesn't project these emotions in his eyes, which people sometimes find unsettling. He rarely underestimates anyone, even after seeing them fight. After all, if you get too cocky, things turn sour. He is respectful when a title is given, though talks casually to even the oldest of people. He knows that they are younger than him by a mile, so he respects them as much as an old man would a child. However, this can increase or decrease depending on their actions. He typically doesn't trust many people with his life, or his secrets, so he finds it hard to make friends. Like many Manaketes who decided to spend their time with humans, he is prone to loneliness given the thought that his human friends would die way before he does. A human lifespan is only but a day in theirs, after all. Ferrian doesn't tend to lose control of his beastly side unless on the battlefield. When allowed to fight, he doesn't tend to hold back. Of course, that doesn't mean that he cannot follow orders in this state. In fact, he still listens to the orders of the strategist. However, he is ruthless and merciless and this is displayed through his actions. Taking a life doesn't bother him anymore - and he's even shown to be able to bite and nearly eat one of the humans and not show much remorse. [hider=You know what it is] [center]~ I sort of like Sumia x Chrom mostly because of Sumia smacking Chrom since she thought it was a slap. I always found that hilarious. Seriously though, I can find reasons to like all of 'em.~[/center] [/hider] [/hider]
