Personality:

Rhaegis Veyr’an is a stubborn, defiant, and fiercely independent bastard. He has a sharp tongue, an even sharper wit, and absolutely zero patience for the close-minded ways of his tribe. He’s brash, confident to the point of arrogance, and reckless as hell—but he’s also intensely curious, something that gets him into constant trouble. He doesn’t just want to see the world beyond his tribe’s borders—he needs to.

He’s sick of their fear, their blind obedience to the old ways, and most of all, their refusal to see the wonders of the human world. They call him foolish, naïve, dangerous—and maybe he is—but at least he’s willing to chase after what he wants.

Hot-headed and quick to anger, he’s got a bit of a temper, especially when he feels ignored or dismissed. He holds grudges like a motherfucker, and once he decides someone’s an idiot, that opinion rarely changes. However, despite all his anger and frustration, Rhaegis isn’t cruel. Deep down, he wants to share what he discovers, wants to drag his people kicking and screaming into something better. They just won’t listen, and it drives him insane.

He has an intense love for the unknown, especially anything human-made. Artifacts, trinkets, stories—he hoards them like a dragon with gold. He’s got a particular obsession with human craftsmanship, fascinated by how they shape the world around them.

Loyalty, though? That’s tricky. He’s loyal to ideas more than people. If someone aligns with his vision, he’ll fight tooth and claw for them. But betray his trust? Dismiss him like the others? He’ll cut ties in an instant.

A bit of a show-off, enjoys proving people wrong—especially the smug bastards from his tribe. If he has a chance to rub their faces in their own ignorance, he will take it. And he’ll enjoy every second of it.

Appearance:

• Hair: Long, wild, and blue—the kind of deep, electric blue that catches the light in strange ways. Constantly tangled with leaves, twigs, and whatever else the forest decides to gift him. Front strands braided into pigtails that hang down over his chest.
• Eyes: Light blue, almost silvery in certain lighting, sharp and alert.
• Ears: Large, pointed, and fox-like, covered in soft blue fur. They twitch with every sound.
• Skin: Forearms, hands, and fingers gradually darken into a deep midnight blue, as if nature itself dipped them in ink. His nails are black, claw-like, and always a little sharp.
• Tattoos: Swirling blue patterns across his shoulders, arms, and chest—marks of nature’s power, traditional to his kind. Some glow faintly under moonlight. On his forehead, close to the bridge of his nose, is a black crystalline-like mark.
• Tail: Long, bushy, and blue, constantly moving to reflect his emotions. (And, as seen earlier, a traitorous bastard.)
• Body: Slender, fit. Muscular, but not too much, which makes him nimble, flexible and fast.
• Genitals: At the base of the penis there is a node for mating.

Backstory

The Outcast’s Birth

Rhaegis was born during the heart of a violent thunderstorm, the kind that split the sky with furious roars and sent the weaker creatures of the forest scrambling for cover. The elders of his tribe claimed it was an omen, a sign that he would bring nothing but chaos. His mother, a fierce huntress named Shaela, disagreed. She believed he was born of the storm, made from its raw, untamed energy, and that he would shape the world just as lightning shapes the sky.

From the beginning, he was different. He was bigger than the other cubs, stronger, faster—but most importantly, he asked too many damn questions. While the others accepted the stories and rules of their ancestors, Rhaegis constantly challenged them.

"Why do we fear humans if we’ve never seen them?" "If the world belongs to the strong, why do we hide?" "How do we know the stories about humans aren’t just lies to keep us afraid?"

His curiosity was not seen as wisdom—it was seen as dangerous.

The Boy Who Challenged the Elders

By the time he was a young adolescent, Rhaegis had already caused more trouble than the rest of the tribe combined. He sneaked beyond the accepted hunting grounds, ventured dangerously close to human lands, and even dared to bring back a broken, rusted knife as proof that humans existed. The elders were furious. His mother, despite her love for him, could do little to protect him from the backlash.

"You defy the will of the ancestors," one elder snarled. "You invite ruin upon us all," another hissed.

But Rhaegis did not cower. He stood his ground, fists clenched, tail lashing in defiance.

"Then let ruin come. I’d rather face it than rot in ignorance."

The tribe didn’t exile him—not yet. But the whispers began. The glares grew sharper. Mothers pulled their children away when he walked past. He wasn’t a criminal, but he was no longer one of them.

The Incident That Sealed His Fate

Everything changed the day he found the hunter’s corpse.

He had been prowling through the woods, following an unusual scent, when he came upon the body. A human—young, male, barely more than a boy. His throat had been slashed open, and his clothes were torn, as if by claws. But not just any claws. Vul’kai claws.

His stomach turned. He knew what this meant. His tribe, the very people who preached about staying hidden, had killed this human.

And yet, when he brought the body back as undeniable proof that they were the aggressors, that they had crossed the line first, the elders did not react with guilt. No.

They were furious.

"You would bring this filth into our sacred grounds?" "This is proof that humans are dangerous! Proof that they encroach upon our lands!" "You side with them, Rhaegis? You betray your own kind for these—these creatures?"

The words stung, but what hurt more was the realization that they would never listen. The truth didn’t matter. Only the fear did.

That night, after a heated battle of words with the elders and a near-physical brawl with one of the warriors, Rhaegis made his decision.

He left.

He walked out of the village, head held high, not as an exile, but as a defector.

Life as a Lone Wolf

For years, he wandered the deep forests, living on his own. He taught himself how to hunt, how to read human movements from a distance, how to steal from their camps without being seen. He collected their trinkets, studying them like relics from an ancient world. He observed their habits, their strange way of speaking, their ridiculous clothing, their odd rituals around fire and food.

He wanted to understand them.

He wanted to prove that the elders were wrong.

But more than that—he wanted to finally see one up close.

And now, crouched behind the bushes, watching a human tend to a campfire, he realized...

He was finally going to get his chance.

Quirks:

• When frustrated, he runs a hand through his hair—only to get it tangled in the mess of twigs and leaves.
• He talks to inanimate objects when he’s alone, especially human artifacts. “You get me, don’t you, little trinket? Unlike those moss-brained fools.”
• He has an irrational hatred for overly cautious people. They just piss him off.
• Despite all his bravado, he gets completely and utterly flustered when genuinely complimented. (He’ll deny it later.)
• Tail Betrayal: No matter how much he tries to act cool, his tail always gives him away—puffing up when he’s startled, wagging slightly when excited, or flicking in irritation when he’s trying (and failing) to be patient.
• Ears Are a Dead Giveaway: His ears twitch and flick depending on his mood. If he’s really pissed, they pin back. If he’s focused, they go still. If he’s pretending not to be interested in something? They twitch. Constantly. Absolute traitor of a tail.

---

Habits:

• Constantly moving—pacing, fidgeting, tapping his claws against surfaces. Sitting still is not his thing.
• Collects everything even remotely human-made, hoarding trinkets like they’re the most precious things in the world.
• Zones out when deep in thought, staring into the distance like he’s plotting something. (He usually is.)
• Food Snob: He refuses to eat anything raw if he can help it. He’s learned from observing humans that cooked food tastes way better.
• Sniffs Everything: He can’t help it. Scent is important to his people, so he instinctively sniffs objects, people, and even unfamiliar places. It’s not weird to him, but he gets that humans might find it strange.

Sexual Behavior/Preferences:

• Dominant by nature, but he’s not a control freak. He loves taking charge, but if his partner is strong-willed enough to challenge him, he finds it exhilarating.
• Secretly Melts When Touched the Right Way: His ears and tail are extremely sensitive, and while he pretends to hate it, deep down, he fucking loves when his partner strokes or plays with them. But admitting that? Never.
• Doesn’t have much experience. His obsession with humans and his general impatience with people means he hasn’t had much time for romance or sex. That said, when he does indulge, he’s intense.
• Claw marks? Biting? Oh, hell yes. He’s got sharp teeth, and he’s not afraid to use them.
