Known to cuss up a storm after one too many drinks at the bar, he has a reputation for being an angry asshole. However, underneath the hostile facade lies a caring soul. Those closest to Feral know that despite appearances, he is deeply kindhearted and would readily sacrifice himself for a complete stranger if given the chance. His abrasive attitude is simply a defense mechanism, crafted over years of pain and abandonment. Pushing people away protects both Feral and those around him - for Feral, it shields him from further hurt, and for others, it keeps them safe from the dangerous enemies he's made over the years. Though the isolation pains him, he insists this is for the best. The dichotomy between Feral's outward hostility and inner warmth is jarring to most. But to the select few patient enough to look past the thorns, they find a loyal friend who would do anything for them.[/indent] [center][color=87a9d3][i][b]{ Orientation }[/b][/i][/color] Asexual ─ Demiromantic[/center] [hider=Likes] [indent][color=c3e1ac][b]FOOD:[/b][/color] -- [color=c3e1ac][b]DRINKS:[/b][/color] -- [color=c3e1ac][b]TREATS:[/b][/color] -- [color=c3e1ac][b]MUSIC:[/b][/color] -- [color=c3e1ac][b]COLORS:[/b][/color] -- [color=c3e1ac][b]ANIMALS:[/b][/color] -- [color=c3e1ac][b]SEASONS:[/b][/color] -- [color=c3e1ac][b]ACTIVITIES:[/b][/color] --[/indent] [/hider] [hider=Dislikes] [indent][color=c3e1ac][b]FOOD:[/b][/color] -- [color=c3e1ac][b]DRINKS:[/b][/color] -- [color=c3e1ac][b]TREATS:[/b][/color] -- [color=c3e1ac][b]MUSIC:[/b][/color] -- [color=c3e1ac][b]COLORS:[/b][/color] -- [color=c3e1ac][b]ANIMALS:[/b][/color] -- [color=c3e1ac][b]SEASONS:[/b][/color] -- [color=c3e1ac][b]ACTIVITIES:[/b][/color] --[/indent] [/hider] [center][color=87a9d3][b][i]{ Theme Songs }[/i][/b][/color] [url=https://youtu.be/7J0UOS5bKj4?si=nvp1PlTTqo5lnK4P]“Fighter” ─ [i]Fearless Soul[/i][/url][/center] [h2][color=acdee1][b]Strengths[/b][/color][/h2] [indent][color=c3e1ac][b]EDUCATION LEVEL:[/b][/color] Some middle school [color=c3e1ac][b]LANGUAGES:[/b][/color] [list][*] [color=9d98db][b]English -[/b][/color] First Language[/list] [color=c3e1ac][b]​SKILLS and HOBBIES:[/b] [/color] [list][*] [color=9d98db][b]Martial Combatist -[/b][/color] "Expert" [*] [color=9d98db][b]Traditional Artist -[/b][/color] Very skilled [*] [color=9d98db][b]Handiman -[/b][/color] Decent [*] [color=9d98db][b]Singer -[/b][/color] Decent[/list] [color=c3e1ac][b]ABILITIES:[/b][/color] [list][*] [color=9d98db][b]Enhanced Athletics -[/b][/color] He possesses a greater level of speed, strength, and agility, as well as significantly quicker reflexes in comparison to humans and other standard "human like" races.

Mental processing becomes clouded, and a dravek exposed to the substance may find it hard to focus for even hours after initial intake. Animals known to bring this effect include various livestock, such as cows, sheep, goats, and pigs, as well as more wild sorts such as deer, rabbit, and boar. Draveks have to be very careful when consuming the meat of these animals and ensure that anything they consume from the creatures is cooked to “well done”.[/list] [color=c3e1ac][b]ABILITY LIMITS:[/b][/color] [list][*] [color=9d98db][b]Fire Manpulation -[/b][/color] Limit description coming soon [*] [color=9d98db][b]True Form -[/b][/color] Limit description coming soon[/list] [color=c3e1ac][b]ALLERGIES:[/b][/color] None [color=c3e1ac][b]FEARS and PHOBIAS:[/b][/color] Darkness; Isolation; Crowds; Yelling; The Knochenmas family; The Areli family; The Molloy family; Other draveks in general [color=c3e1ac][b]OTHER WEAKNESSES:[/b][/color] --[/indent] [h2][color=acdee1][b]Health[/b][/color][/h2] [indent][color=c3e1ac][b]PHYSICAL HEALTH:[/b][/color] Very malnourished; Low immune system; A lot of joint issues [color=c3e1ac][b]MENTAL HEALTH:[/b][/color] Unstable; Intermittent Explosive Disorder; C-PTSD; ADHD; Dyslexia and Dysgraphia [color=c3e1ac][b]HABITS:[/b][/color] [list][*] [color=9d98db][b]Good -[/b][/color] What good do they do?

When he was just a boy of twelve, alone and vulnerable on the harsh streets of the city after the death of his negligent mother, he fell in with the House of Areli, a violent dravekian clan who saw an opportunity in his desperation. They captured the naive child and forced him into their underground fighting rings, where he was made to battle viciously for the twisted amusement of his captors. Trapped in this brutal underworld for years, his only chance at escape came through the unlikely aid of Emmerich Knochenmas, who bought out his contract and freed him from his tormentors. But Feral's respite with Emme's family, the noble House of Knochenmus, was painfully short-lived. Their spoiled son Anselm tormented him relentlessly, until one day Feral finally snapped, lashing out in violence against his abuser in a moment of uncontrollable rage. Terrified of the consequences, he fled once more to the streets. For years after that he scraped by from dravek house to dravek house, but even when taken in briefly, he found no true refuge or companionship as each and every one sought to use him in one way or another. The vile heir of the House of Molloy viewed Feral as merely a plaything, abusing him horribly until he was driven to kill in desperate self-defense. Now the enraged Molloy matriarch seeks vengeance against him for her son's death. After a time hiding with a group of fellow homeless teens in a safehouse, Feral finally thought he had found some small semblance of community, even bonding deeply with a boy named Tohato despite their language barrier. But when their work with a local criminal group brought bloody retaliation and the devastating raid of the safehouse, Feral blamed himself for the harm done to those he had grown to care for. Now he lives in solitary guilt and grief on the streets, lying to Tohato that he is well-off when they cross paths, as he believes staying away will keep others safe. The years of relentless abuse and trauma have left Feral distrustful of companionship, resigned to struggle on alone against the dangerous world he inhabits. But underneath the scars and hardened exterior remains the gentle heart of that lost twelve-year-old boy, still longing for connection, community, and a life of simple dignity.[/indent] [indent][color=acdee1][b][ -- MAJOR LIFE CHAPTER -- ][/b][/color] [indent]More in-depth story time[/indent][/indent] [h2][color=acdee1][b]Trivia[/b][/color][/h2] [list][*] As far as he knows, he's full dravek, and he gets very defensive about it, always insisting he's not a "mutt" [*] He has pyrokinetic abilities, but doesn't understand why that's not normal for a pure dravek [*] He loves hot chocolate and will spend all his money for just one cup [*] He has a sketchbook from Emme, it's full, but he holds on to it still.
