Name: Gordarion

Age: 24

Gender: male

People: Taniwha

Appearance:
(you have a picture of one so if its ok to have that as a bases. I'm just describing distinguishing features.)

Gordarion was born as an albino. Given he is a taniwha, he is very muscular and tall. His hair is white and hangs down to his shoulders. He wears studded leather gauntlets and leggings. He covers his arms up to his shoulders with armor taken during a raid. At the waist of the legging are torn leather rags that hang over it.



Traits:
Gordarion is much more calm than those of his kin. He is actually a strategic person who values a group over ones personal might. His mind set is different from that of his kin but not far off. During combat he is ruthless and cold, not caring to cut down an ally if the enemy goes with him. As a taniwha he is very respectful to woman and believes them to be above him in some manner unless you are of another race. When enraged he will mercilessly attack anything as if it is a blood lust he craves. Though he is not quick to anger or violence, he has no problem proving dominance and will mercilessly crush anyone who causes him or those he sees close harm.

His view of magic as particularly strange. He believes that the reason so few can do magic is because it chose them. He believes the reason why someone can study magic for their entire lifetime and not perform it is because it didn't choose them. His view of Gods are strange as well. He believes that there are simply transcendence of power and to obtain that power is to become a God. He believes that those who can perform magic have obtained a portion of that power.

Background:

Gordarion was born in Koraha as an outcast. Being born with pale skin lead him to be treated much more harshly than others. he was often picked on and beat up as a child. He however never proved to be weak and always stood his ground and thus is the reason he wasn't abandoned. Being that he was always picked on did have his advantages. Since he had no support it allowed him to quickly realize how strong he needed to become to defend himself and thus pushed him to fight harder than most. It did not take long for him to prove strong enough to participate in raids and pillaging. On these occasions he showed to be much more ferocious than others and his brutality was to be feared. It was on these raids that Gordarion truly realized that dominance was key. As he and the others were heading home from a raid, he had stolen something that looked to be very valuable (at least to him). However, another taniwha wanted it for him self. he was older, stronger, and a veteran warrior among the group. Gordarion did not have the proper strength and thus was beat and the pendant was taken from him. After that day, Gordarion began to be much more aggressive toward others of his own kin. He realized that this society truly was about survival of the fittest and he hated it. Several years passed and it did not take long for Gordarion to find interest in a woman. He knew he had to prove his strength but never knew how. All he did was train to further improve his physical prowess as a warrior. However, as an albino finding a woman who would take interest in him would be rather difficult. His being heavily religious, he wasn't sure if he was viewed as a bad omen for being albino. To prove his strength he challenged the strongest male in the encampment. Gordarion knew that if there were a way to prove strength then this was it. This fight was not be easy as he was going up against the strongest male. This time was where the strategist in Gordarion would be seen. During the fight, Gordarion was outmatched in most aspects. His opponent was stronger, more ruthless, and physical superior. Gordarion had devised a way of defeating his opponent. Gordarion was to strike at the joints and to tire his opponent out. This plan however did not last long. His opponent was able to over power Gordarion and relentlessly beat him into the dirt. Gordarion became overcome by bloodlust and delivered a fatal punch into his opponents throat. This hit turned the tide of the fight. With his opponent chocking and his eyes filled with blood lust Gordarion mercilessly beat his opponent. Gordarion continued to relentlessly bash his opponents face in. After the fight Gordarion showed little interest in impressing a woman. The fact that it took such savagery to find a woman interests was not what he wanted. It was the following day that Gordarion had left his people behind. Gordarion left and set out for one purpose. He wanted to gain the power he needed to change his people, to unite all of Koraha under one banner and to show them the meaning of a pack. To do this he knows he needs power for that is the only thing his people will listen to.
