Name: Txun'utral
Age: Twenty-Four
Secret Word:
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Pansexual
Race: Na'vi
Tribe: Alehuai
Mount: Ikran
His mount was given to him after passing the test of manhood. The process hadn't been as easy as he had been expecting because she was more of a challenge to link with. During the process of pinning her she fought back harshly successfully injuring his arm. Her lithe body was difficult to get a grip of and she was constantly twisting as much as her body allowed it was the first sign that she was a very acrobatic mount and that she also had a temper.
She is more of an agility based creature then she is strength. Her body is made for speed and quickly changing directions as well as many other aerial movements making her a deadly opponent. She is smaller then most, but not by much just enough to give her more maneuverability. Her body is a mixture of greens. purples, and deep blues that blend in exotic ways panting her like artwork. Which she is named for. Txun named her Taw'Tseo meaning Sky Art. She is named this for another reason her personality. She is a blend of many different attitudes creating a distinct creature who can be a kind mothering mount and at other times a temperamental creature who has to be handled carefully. It deals greatly with how she feels that day and how she is treated because of her very strong sense of pride she has to be approached "correctly". Txun is getting better at reading her moods and body language so he hasn't been nudged angrily as much, but instead playfully nudged.
Physical Description: Txun stands at about nine feet and seven inches putting him an inch under the normal height for his race. His body is lean muscle more so then bulging giving him a lithe body built for speed and maneuverability. His skin is slightly lighter then most making him stick out just a little from others, but strangely the stripes on his body are a deeper blue then most causing an interesting clash of light and dark. His eyes are the normal shade of yellow, but instead of of smoothed angles his eyes are sharper giving him a more predatory look. The dots that are scattered across his face shine brighter then most and are more sensitive to his mood because he prefers not to hide his emotions and instead display them in a way that isn't harmful, but does tell others what to expect from him. He has the protruding nose that is common for his race, but it isn't as smooth as most. His face is more angled to give him a face that makes it obvious he is an aerial hunter because his appearance reflects the angular look of the mount he rides. His body does give off more signs of his emotions then others and is more sensitive to the world around it. He doesn't have heightened senses his body is just more observant. His prehensile tail is more sensitive then most and is usually moving instead of staying stationary. His arms are long, but not to the point of being lengthy. They are mostly lean muscles as is the rest of his body which is better suited for an aerial mount. His nails are a bit sharper then most, but they aren't lethal. If he actually used them in battle they wouldn't do much damage maybe just a shallow scratch if that much.
His clothing reflects that he is a hunter because of the fact that he usually wears the close he would wear to ride his mount. Leather armor surrounds his stomach and some of his lower chest to keep flesh from being rubbed raw from riding his mount. The piece of clothing is designed to look much like a spiral or at least the pattern that makes it. The spiral that is to be noticed is dyed a faded blue and outlined in bright red to make it more distinct. He wears a thin band of soft leather around his waist that holds two pieces of cloth that cover front and back. They are dyed a blend of red and blue much like the leather armor except they have several different hues so that it blends better. He wears a necklace made of the scales and fangs of past kills that is tight fitting like a choker.
(At least 300 words.)
Personality: Txun is a very social Na'vi who enjoys the company of family and friends. He tries his best to stay immersed in groups of people instead of being a alone. He prefers having someone to talk to wither it be someone he calls friend or has only begun to know. Some would say that he is a foolish and childish person, but in actuality he doesn't do this for childish reasons. He enjoys the company of others because it is a constant remainder to him of how connected their clan is and that they are connected by the ties of blood and friendship. Its something he longs never to forget and thus to keep that from happening he wants to keep constant remainders around him and those are the voices of his tribe wither they be alive or dead. Yes he is a frequenter of Utral Aymokriyä going to meditate amongst the sounds of the many voices or to wish for a solution to a problem for his people. Wither it be the sickness of someone he doesn't know or someone he knows deeply he wishes for their improvement at this place hoping that his wishes will be heard.
He is a compassionate person who cares deeply for his people and will do anything to protect them which has him at odds with the current situation. He is leery of humans because of what happened in the past, but he fears that to confront them will lead to unneeded bloodshed. As a result he is a supporter of a peaceful relationship with humans and one that they can gain something out of. The problem is finding such a thing. He finds humans a stupid race because of what they value and the fact they believe so vehemently that their desires are the desires of others races and fail to understand that what they live their lives for is complete different from what the Na'vi live for. He may view humans as stupid, but he doesn't believe them to be beyond saving. He is in favor of teaching them how to respect Ewya and the world around them because he feels that if they truly understand the land they have stepped foot on they won't dare destroy it like before. The problem to him is getting them to understand and prove it to the other tribes he knows wish for war. That is something he fears greatly for war is something he doesn't want to happen. He however doesn't want to step into the problems of other tribes and leaves these things unsaid.
He isn't an outspoken person because he doesn't have confidence in his own wisdom. Txun is after all still young and has yet to experience the world and as such believes his ideas to be foolish. As a result he constantly turns to others older then him for advice and is slowly building a system of ideas that define him and what he believes in. He is at the moment in life where he can be influenced by others, but he also knows what he will accept and what he won't.
Txun is known for being a little quick to act in the sense that he rushes into things before thinking deeply about them. He is at the age where he strikes first thinks later. This mindset works from time to time, but it isn't one that is reliable. He is starting to outgrow this limiting personality flaw, but it does flare up every once in a while. He lacks the ability to give up in a competition pushing himself to his limits and further if he can in hopes of coming out on top. He is combative with others, but in a friendly way. He won't boast about a victory and he won't whine about a lost either. He takes them both in stride believing that loses are to be learned from and victories are to be learned from as well so that one can see what they can still do to improve.
He has a great respect for the world around him not killing a single creature unless he absolutely has to and even then it is with a heavy heart. He views every life as valuable and deserving of some mourning even if it is only a few words whispered to the night. Txun may be called foolish for this, but he wouldn't care. The world is alive to him and he listens to its call. He has given himself to Ewya and the world around them allowing them to use him as their vessel. He fights for his people, but feels that it is the will of Ewya if her will changed so would he.
He has like many of his age taken interest in gaining a mate, but he has yet to decide on the most important thing. He has found himself attracted to both his brethren and sisters. It is something he hasn't come to terms with and doesn't understand. He originally believed that it was the will of Ewya for only opposite genders to mate for life, but he finds himself more and more attracted to the same gender. He finds himself wanting to defy that belief and he hopes dearly that it is the will of Ewya because he doubts he can go against it. He is secretive about this attraction and tries his best to hide for fear of rejection or shame. The key thing about this for him is that he feels that he can be happy with either gender which is all that matters to him in the realm of romance. He just wants to fall in love, but at the same time he fears falling in love with someone of the same gender and becoming mates for life with them because of what negative things may come with it.
Talents:
Charisma/Self-talent: Txun may not have refined the art of speaking to the degree that would gain him a silver tongue, but he does have the beginnings signs of someone who will hold influence. He can sway those around his age to look at things from a different angle or introduce something to the picture that can alter their original understanding or belief surrounding it. He is the warrior who rallies the others for what they must do boosting moral and raising spirits. Influence and charisma would be used to helping protect his tribe and pushing them forward.
Agility/Both on and off Ikran: He has a talent for climbing and jumping being more agile and flexible then he is strong. This is how he and his mount are alike they focus more on speed and evasion then they do on the ability to cause damage. Believing in the philosophy of attacking quickly and retreating to safety just as quickly so that they can wear an enemy down. He is always on his toes quickly adapting to a situation and turning an opponents strength against them.
Tactician/Creativity/Self-talent: Txun isn't yet a tactician. He is still too headstrong for this, but he shows signs of such a trait. He does do things second nature that are tactical like retreating after an attack so that he is a safe distance away, but can easily attack again if need be. Txun is also the type who looks at things in new ways so he is an inventive type finding new ways to improve say a spear or something of that nature. He focuses greatly on turning weaknesses into strengths by focusing on ways to cover them up or turn them around.
History:
Txun is the first and only child of his parents who hadn't wanted more then one mostly because they felt more kids would be too much of a drain on tribe resources. There was an upside to this which was that Txun received a lot of attention from his parents mostly in the form of lessons that would help him survive. His mother taught him how to survive on the berries of the earth knowing which are safe to eat and which are not. His father taught him how to hunt and fight taking great care to teach him to fight because his father had been alive during the war on Pandora that ripped families apart. His father had a paranoia that past events would repeat and he wanted his son to be prepared for such an event.
From a young age he was taught to think of the clan before himself and to always do what was right in the eyes of Ewya no matter what moral codes it broke. His first duty was to Ewya, second his tribe, third his family, and lastly himself. Most would disagree seeing them all as parts of Ewya, but his father felt that each will differed from the one above it and that one will was more important then the other which resulted in the chain of command his father wholeheartedly believed in.
Growing up Txun found himself one of the many social Na'vi constantly trying to fit into groups of his people. Not by changing his personality, but by finding common grounds they shared. As time passed this became as natural to him as breathing he hardly noticed he did it. He would occasionally be at odds without people because of how different from him they might be, but generally he was able to get along with anyone.
When it was time for him to take the test to become a warrior he was ready, but nervous. His battle with his Ikran was a difficult one, but he came out on top. The two have become best friends since then, but she still has her occasional moments of attitude.
He soon found himself looking for a mate, but it was a difficult process mostly because he found himself attracted to the same gender. It was a problem he wasn't sure how to handle because he wasn't sure if such an act was acceptable. As a result he has avoided mating all together and thrown himself into training.
The humans arrival has had a strange impact on him. A part of him wants them gone, but the other wants to see if they will learn the ways of the Na'vi. He has yet to make his intention concerning the humans known mostly in part to the fact he isn't sure yet.
RP Sample:Txun looked out at the still waters that caught the moonlight in its faint ripples. The sound of chirping filled the air as the creatures of night moved through the forest that they called home. Carefully he walked towards the water trying his best to keep noise to a minimum. The only sounds that filled the air was the occasional crunch of leaves under feet and the constant sounds of the forest, but other than that the night was calm and still. Reaching the water’s edge he knelt down slowly his knees touching the cold ground that was soft from the water. Cupping his hands he placed them slowly in the water, the coldness caressing his skin. Lowered his head and brought his hands out from the water sipping the cold and clean water from his hands. The coldness filled his mouth and the taste of the forest followed it. Slowly he swallowed savoring the crisp taste of water from a lake untainted by machines. Pulling his hands apart drops of water fell into the lake the gentle splash echoing in the night. Colors filled the air and the forest as fan lizards took flight. Their iridescent colors illuminated the night pushing back the shadows, but not the dangers the night could hold. Txun watched them warily because no longer was he hidden in the shadows, but was now in the open. Any predators nearby would be exposed as well, but none of the predators on Pandora would be foolish enough to be so close to the creature they stalked until they could attack with positive results.
Slowly he took the bow from his back the harsh wood clutched by agile fingers as he prepared himself for what might come. He took an arrow from the quiver on his back. Slowly he notched the bow doing it as silently as he could. He wouldn’t fire unless he had no other choice, but to actually have no other choice he would have to survive the encounter with a predator. To do that he had to be ready and the arrow he had notched would be adequate if what he encountered happen to be Viperwolves. He was counting on them being the only thing hunting this night or nothing at all. Slowly getting to his feet he backed away from the lake and turned quickly so that he wouldn’t be caught by surprise. Slowly he made his way towards a large tree whose branches hung low to the ground. He turned pressing his back against it moving his bow in a horizontal arch ready to fire if need be. He let out a shallow breath that he hadn’t been aware of holding when he found no predator to fear in the night. Returning the arrow to its quiver and slinging his bow over his shoulder he began to climb as quickly as he could. Reaching the top he looked out at the forest taking in the movements of trees and the sounds of the forest. He was safe…for now.
