Primitive Tribe RP (name pending)

@The Goblin King

Hello! Akaya made me aware of this RP and I thought I'd throw in a character or two to see how this goes.

My first character is pretty young, but I may bring in a second character that's older. Also family ties that don't get covered I can simply fill in with NPC's, I'm guessing? (Parents, specifically) I left the history pretty vauge as to not miss any possibilities for relationships across the tribe, though if there's any particular issue with the CS that you see, let me know.

NAME

Killik

AGE

15

GENDER

Male

ROLE

Apprentice Hunter

Appearance

Standing at 5'1", Killik is notably short. His amber-colored body is well-toned due to growing up as a rowdy child, and his training to be a hunter for his people. Despite the stature, he stands straight, and along with his expression it carries his confidence. His black hair is shoulder-length, and is almost always seen in a ponytail tied by torn vines aside from moments such as bathing. His attire was the result of his own hunts, gray wolf pelts gracing his small upper and lower body in a warm embrace, allowing Killik to carry the memories of his successful hunts with him.

PERSONALITY

Killik is a very confident individual; Eager to prove himself as well as a bit of a show off, and willing to put himself forward in any situation. Often judged harshly for his childish antics and thrill-seeking, he's easily bored roaming around the village and tends to go find trouble instead of waiting for it to come towards him. Despite being so eager to jump into danger, he doesn't do so as recklessly as one might think: Underneath the young man's antics he's a surprisingly quick thinker. Where the average man would still be considering their method of attack, Killik would have already decided his optimal position and prepared his ambush.

In his community, Killik is an extremely helpful youth despite his occasional annoyances: Always wanting to keep busy, he'll run errands, make deliveries, fetch things from the wilderness. But when he has nothing to do, he can be caught occasionally causing minor trouble for others, to make himself laugh. He would never do anything to harm his family, but poking at them from time to time amuses him. When it comes to other youths like himself, Killik is often competitive but friendly. He likes occasionally helping teach the children, but is a bad influence on them depending on who you ask. He would put his life on the line to assure their safety, though that would go for just about anyone he knows.

SPECIAL SKILLS

Killik's small but extremely agile and stealthy. Combined with his wits, he is perfect for hunting fast prey and creatures that would be highly alert. His ability to quickly make decisions while scanning a situation makes him competent when it comes to larger prey or even other people as well, setting traps and making distractions or even covering his scent to take advantage of his targets. A prodigy, explaining his large amount of confidence out in the wild.

At home, Killik doesn't make his worth with particular talents: Instead just making sure things get from point A to point B without hassle. He offers himself in a surprisingly small and humble role to ensure things go smoothly when possible, though claims to simply do it out of boredom because it's more productive than throwing stones into the lake.

HISTORY

When Killik was born, his survival wasn't assured. No birth really is, but he was quite small and appeared weak in the eyes of those watching over him. He had spent his first ten days being heavily watched over with uncertainty, his mark lasting nearly six of them and some would claim that was the sign that he was blessed to live for one purpose or another. Even after being revealed and named, he was treated with care as an infant given his exceptionally vulnerable appearance, but to the surprise of many he made it through perfectly healthy.

As he aged, the only strange thing about the child was his height. Compared to other males his age, he was shorter; He lacked mass compared to them but never let it get him down. He was a curious child but a quick learner; The firetenders had no issues with him aside from the occasional case of him getting distracted. When he put his mind to a task, he could execute it. When being a troublemaker, some of the adults even had issue keeping up with the boy, as he used his speed and size to scramble through places adults couldn't, and hid until he thought it was safe. He'd get in trouble once he came out, of course, but it didn't change the fact that he still escaped their grasp on multiple occasions.

Having not been physically blessed, the firetenders were worried about his eagerness to hunt. He was told with his body that they referred to as 'feeble' he should look into taking another role, but he refused and was insulted by their words. Where others were naturally gifted, he trained his body to be as strong as he could make it: Exercise, and eating the biggest juicy bugs he could find. He honed his skills; His improved strength aiding in his aim with a throwing spear, and his agility aiding with keeping up in hand-to-hand combat. All that running and hiding when he was younger evolved into the ability to easily traverse rough terrain and stealth. He proved himself worthy of becoming an apprentice hunter, and at age 13 that apprenticeship truly started.

His hunting skills required fine-tuning, but by learning from those around him and adapting those teachings into a method that worked in his mind, he greatly improved in his first two years of apprenticeship. He needed to keep his personality in check, but the skill was there. Now in his third year of apprenticeship, he'd surely only improve further as he made his way towards full-adulthood. Though if his thrill-seeker attitude or the harsh realities of life got him into too much trouble before then... Then that was just how life intended it to be.

@Bria The Human

Aw, the little one comes first for sure! I try to make a response daily, more if I can, but I do miss some days on occassion. I'm patient too though so a bit of a slower pace definitely doesn't bother me.

I look forward to writing with you all, but I should warn that my posts may also be spaced between depression, ADHD, and whatever I have that mimics bipolar. I'm also new to this kind of Roleplaying, but I'll try to get on daily.

On a side note, would you three like to make a Discord server or group for our rescue team? No push either way, I just noticed that it seems to be universally popular on this site.

@Hyde

I know the feeling of being bogged down by mental illness, and how it can impact writing. When you need to take some time, just say something, as it's definitely more important than getting quicker replies out. This should be a fun hobby and not at all a stressful one, you know? I've been RP'ing this way for what's nearing sixteen years, so if you think there's anything you might need help with or need clarification on, you're free to ask! I'll help where I can. And if I can't, well, I'll try to direct you to where you can get the answers >.>

Discord is fine with me, I can live with or without it. Just like Orgasmo said, lemme know if it happens.
