Swift Reed
Appearance
Race: Drykas
Gender: Male
Age: 36
Birthday: 3, Winter, 485 av.
Birthplace: The Sea of Grass
Appearance:
Standing at 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighing 165 pounds, Swift isn't an overly imposing figure. His svelte build is muscular and toned; built for speed over brute strength. The skin is calloused and scarred, especially on the hands and feet, conditioned by a lifetime of hard-work. His face has angular features, devoid of facial hair save for the stubble that resides on his chin and his thick but tamed brows. Cool blue eyes are like a cloudless sky and his hair is fair, blonde, and long enough to reach his shoulder blades. Normally his hair is free-flowing but the back has a series of thin braids secured by handcarved bone beads.
Tattoo: On the left shoulder, Swift has a strider head tribal design with a spiraling mane that wraps around his arm, stopping just above the wrist. The tattoo is black in its entirety with the exception of the eye which is purple to signify his affiliation with the Amethyst Clan. Each pectoral is also decorated with the same tribal style designs with swirling patterns to symbolize wind. More specifically, the winds of change.
Character Concept
Personality:
Swift has a compassionate soul buried beneath a layer of grit. Charming and observant, he is ever watchful of his surroundings and is careful to trust outsiders. Yet, concealed by his somewhat reserved exterior is his natural sense of humor. He is the last one anyone would expect to pull a prank but the first one that would. However, don't be fooled. When he, his people, his Strider, or the ones he has accepted into his circle are threatened. He will defend them with the ferocity and tenacity of a warrior.
Character History
History:
Growing up in the Sea of Grass, Olan Reed, later taking the name Swift, was born to two talented parents. His mother Jubei was a renowned hunter for the Emerald Clan while his father Vorkir was a member of the Amethyst Clan. Together they would teach their young son everything they knew about survival and the Striders which were vital to the growth and success of their people. Together they would live in harmony with their cherished companions. Respect and honor for animals and nature was instilled in him early in life and would stick with him well into adulthood.
A member of the Amethyst Clan officially, Swift would dedicate most of his young life to Strider care and breeding. But it was different in that the animals weren't trained or owned. They had minds of their own and were allowed to live as if they were free. The bonds that they shared with the Drykas made them want to do what was required by their rider, making them loyal additions to any clan.
Over time Swift would learn this and would form a bond with one in particular. He would give her the name, Deeva. A beautiful creature in spirit and appearance, her blonde mane and tail was always well groomed and her light brown dappled hair was always kept clean and free of dirt; even to this day.
