First Hunter

Stoic. Determined. Ambitious. Prideful. Merciful.

The First Hunter of the brutes is a rather stressed leader. A Deer of few words and once the best friend to the former chief of the brutes. After his best friend's death he has fully taken up the mantle as the next chief. Though it has not come without conflict as the former chief's mistress. A Snake calling herself the good for all has also tried for the title. Now the tribe is split down the middle with competing ideas as the brutes try their best to go into a new age.

The land is wrought with untamed wilds, ferocious beasts roaming the land. It is a shadowy world that has just left its primordial era. Where its people use the stars to guide their purpose. And life is often harsh and cruel both during the start and at its end. The many who call it home often clash with each other in both ideals and hopes. Some of course profit from the clashing. While others destroy themselves from indecision. The people that roam these lands in a valley are known as the brutes, anthromorphic animals who like their name says, are quite fond to a brutal way of life. Even those that seek to make this world better often spill blood to get it done.

The first hunter was born to the brutes as a brawny anthro stag. Taken from his parents and taught under the tutelage of the tribe's teacher. This was a way to help sever the bonds of attachment. In fact he most likely has no idea who his parents were. For the brutes teachings do not want attachments. They want loyalty to the people as a whole, not as a family. A brutal way of thinking but one born in a world full of danger. Those who did not meet to this standard was often declared a "Good for Nothing" and was often mercy killed. Thus he had every reason to work hard to stop his own death. He would be a good student for the teacher of the tribe who instilled a warriors pride within the stag. Doing rituals when asked often the teacher's wards were tasked for simple jobs, but also were the ones to punish criminals via maiming in some way as this was the brute way. This was actually something he really disliked as while he may seem like a warrior, he disliked the brutal capital punishments finding them to be unnecessary, And when he turned 18 he would be declared a hunter, something that he took with pride knowing that he had honed his skills enough to be apart of the tribe. This job was also something of a natural to him as he had issues with speaking. Nothing that was impossible to live with, but something that showed that he was far more physical and strength heavy.

He would also become best friends with the chief. A tall alpaca that he grew to grow a deep friendship with. The Chief was a few years apart, yet both did grow up in the same area and grew to respect each other due to the fact that both were quite skilled hunters. The Chief however, of course would be respected by the first hunter due to the fact that the chief was chosen by the people and thus was fit to lead by brute law. But there was a genuine bond between the two. After many years he earned the rank he had today. Being both provider and protector to the brute tribe. A job he took zealously. Seeing that he would be protecting the tribe from both outside invaders and the massive monsters in the borders of the tribe. He hunted large beasts that had destroyed villages in the past and he had fought slave raiders from the outside that sought to try to take brutes from their homes. He has had many unfortunate encounters with the outsiders as he has started to have a deep dislike for them. Finding them far more sneaky then trust worthy. Though most of his jade clothes come from the outside showing he is willing to give many a chance.

He has a relationship with the Love siblings. The sacred prostitutes of the tribe that runs a love hut that is to attend to many of the tribes needs. While the siblings may sound like two individual people. They are in fact the same body. They are two headed twin giraffes girls that are mutated enough to be infertile. While the first hunter may act like his visits are standard. He genuinely seems upset when they are stressed. So there may be something beyond the job. He may genuinely have feelings for them.

His relationship with his friend, the first chief began to sour with the first chiefs actions when a anthro cobra who had turned 18. The Teacher found that the cobra couldn't really do anything without help. Being a bit lazy. This was very much a affront to brute teachings. So the Cobra was rendered a "Good for nothing" like most. The chief having been raised along side this cobra however held back his warriors. Declaring the cobra. "Good for me." And took her as a near pseudo spouse in a society where attachments were seen as a weakness. This confused the first hunter. As this was a breaking of a code. Pair this with the chief's actions against a lowly anthro frog con man. Where the chief had the con man beaten for impersonating their religious figure the soothsayer. This caused him to seek out the real soothsayer for advice. Who told him to stay loyal the best he could even with his misgivings as change was coming.

This would be proven true as the Chief would sacrifice himself due to a illness. he would steal poison plants eating them and going into a nearby water source which they could not use due to the reptile beasts inside it, When he was devoured, the poison going through his veins quickly overwhelmed the reptiles. killing every single one, and giving his people a new water source and food source because of the salmon or the red fish as the tribe called them, in the river making sure his death was not in vain. This act of heroism and devotion made the first hunter feel guilty about judging the Chief so soon. Though this made him fear that the overabundance in fish could in fact make the tribe weaker. Many of his fellow warriors becoming fishermen instead and lowering their active warriors as many of them would rather fish then properly train.

A need for a new chief was brewing. And he by every right deserved the title. He was the powerful warrior of the tribe. He had a good understanding of the outside world. And he had not broken the code. Yet it would not come easy as the Chief's unofficial spouse would start to make a power play using the her lover's death as a way to rise through the ranks. Declaring herself the "Good For All" While this wasn't that big of a deal, he never had a cruel hatred for her. She very much hated the love siblings for their past actions with the Chief. Despite the fact that he stopped seeing them when she asked. This caused the twin giraffe women to beg for the first hunter to do something. And with his own romantical leanings. He would try his best to keep them safe. Imprisoning Good in the brute's first jail to keep her in line. Among any other troublemaker. This was not done out of cruelty though he was believing banishment might be the only way to solve the issue until she got out and gained the support of the many tribes members. Along with the food giver, the herbalist and the songster leaders of the tribe. While the love siblings, the smith, the leatherworker, and the pigster supported the first hunter to be the chief. Both would go to the soothsayer for the final say in the topic on who would lead them.

Still he managed to be chosen by the stars with the soothsayer's word. Though the tribe would still be split down the middle after a brief skirmish caused when Good had one of the heads of the love sibling executed, leaving the other brutally attached to a corpse to suffer. His beloveds were going to have a slow painful death and he felt rage like no other. this caused both leaders to charge one another to be captured by the rival side, then traded. With Good's side being in the mountains, while the First Hunter's tribes being in the woodlands. Both sides are aiming their spears at each other. The field workers being on Good's side means that her side will be able to get food, while the smith's being on the first hunter's side means that his side will have more weapons. Both sides know that each has a important resources. And that the infighting can be decided either way. Either by starvation of the first hunter's side, or by the destruction of good's. Each side is not backing down from their tradition. And bloodshed maybe unavoidable. In this cold civil war. And while both sides may act like they hate each other, if any major loss of life follows. it may break both chiefs. Both sides still care about each other.

The tribe's naming structure for landmarks is very simple. The Valley they currently live. Is called "The Place We Live." And they call the people of it "The people." And the First Hunter also follows this structure of primordial naming.

The First hunter's personality is that of a proud warrior. He is very stubborn and brave willing to go against the odds when push comes to shove. Despite saying he believes in the code of the Brutes, that being the reason he had many hardliner followers. He actually does have changes he wants to make. He wants to make jails for those who break the law for a certain amount of time until they are deemed to have repented, because cruelty does not sit well in his mind. When seeing criminals punished by the tribe in the past, usually beaten and maimed. He would think about it for days on end, asking if it was really needed as it seemed, how did that fix anything but just fueled anger between tribes members and often caused the punished to suffer sever health problems if they survived the punishment. He is appalled by the idea of slavery finding the idea of dying free much better then to be worked to death for uncaring masters. This is the big reason he dislikes Good For All's policy on criminals where they would be in debt to the tribe or even sell them to outsiders. His distrust towards outsiders may seem like a form a old mind set, yet he has seen outsiders take slaves from other tribes and sell them on foreign markets. He knows that their merchants only favor money above honor and that makes him weary of their actions. Of course he is not all progressive. He believes in the idea of a "Heroic" death to be a honor. And a "Merciful" death to be favored for those who cannot help the tribe anymore. Though this is mainly stuck due to his idea and his own need to feel like he truly helped his tribe. He is by no means evil, he is just as what his people are called A "Brute.". On the romantic side He is very love starved while he may act stoic like most brutes. Any acts of kindness can start to unravel the detachment codes. While he may try to play it off. All brutes are secretly very tired of the codes. Him included. While he despises Good for All for hurting his lover. Her ideas are not unappealing to him, he just fears that supposed weakness, yet he craves it like the rest of the brutes. He truly wants his tribe to be able to express love and care for each other despite his denials of it. Most likely just afraid of pure change.

The First hunters appearance is that of a tall brawny Anthro stag. He has brown fur covering his body. Tall powerful antlers that are marked by blue Celtic runes spread out across his antlers and some that are tattooed across his arms and neck. He has a set of glowing blue eyes. His clothes are typical for a brute hunter. A leather cloak that covers his back with a leather waistcloth that acts as his leggings. with a scaled chest piece to block over his chest. Being the chief he has much jewelry. Preferring Blue jade for all of them with scaled earrings and blue collar around his neck along with a beaded amulet. And finally a headdress made of royal purple feathers with smaller green ones as the trim.
