[n1c0d3mus]

NAME: Grüg
AGE: 31
RACE: Grolar were-bear. As in, polar bear-grizzly cross.
ARCHETYPE: Avenger. Defender. Warrior. Wanderer.
PHYSICAL TRAITS: Burly. Silvering auburn hair, both in bear and human form. Clad in mismatched pelts. A tangled necklace of claws and teeth remain around his neck when he shapechanges.
ORIGIN: A loner. He does not fit in with the polar bear clan nor the grizzly due to his mixture. He wanders from place to place, meal to meal, longing for a tribe of his own.
BELIEFS: Strength is everything.
DESIRES: A mate. A battle worthy of his death.

[Kuro]

NAME: Vaunk

AGE: 26

RACE: Canadian Lynx

ARCHETYPE: Ranger, Robin Hood-esque, Nomad

3+ PHYSICAL TRAITS: Agile frame, yet muscular enough for spear-throwing and rock climbing. Grayish, almost silvering fur and hair, with a mustache to boot. Scarred across the face; a memory from being "out-ambushed".

ORIGIN: A wandering traveler. Forced out of his home in the northern reaches, Vaunk makes his living causing as much mayhem as he can in the name of the poor and destitute.

BELIEFS: Always live a swashbuckling life; you only live once.

DESIRES: Go down in history and legend as the great Vaunk, wooer of all, with plenty of stories and tales to be told.

[kersel]

NAME: Naska, Watches from Above
AGE: 36
RACE: Turkey Vulture
ARCHETYPE: Wise Woman, Matriarch, Scavenger, Trickster
PHYSICAL TRAITS: Gangly. Tangled salt and pepper hair. Keen, piercing eyes. Wears well-kept, heavy clothing made of hide. Her face is marked with red tattoos.
ORIGIN: Hails from a roost of turkey vulture shifters on one of the lake's southern islands. Her children have grown, leaving a wily, older woman with a few missing talons to scavenge for herself.
BELIEFS: A keen eye and a sharp mind will get your further than brute strength. Why bother hunting food when you can wait for it to get itself killed?
DESIRES: To keep alive the stories of the past. To bask in the sun, soaring on thermals, and to coast through the remainder of life with as little expenditure of effort as possible.
