- Appearance -
He isn't the tallest of men, though he's not short either. The aura of faded youth surrounds him for he's no doubt handsome beneath all that dirt and grime. Of thick tan skin, Tevinte is of the muscular sort, with worn stubby fingers, fingernails bit down to the skin, coarse dark brown hair in a perpetual dishevelled state tied loosely with a leather strap. He's a man shaped by the wind and the earth and the sun itself. Black wind marks grace the length of his right arm.
As for his facial features, they are angular and sharp, chiselled and unforgiving like jagged cliffs. When he smiles that smile is ten times more joy filled. Likewise his grimace could kill on sight, so animated is his face. There's a small pigment discolouration beneath his left eye, not overtly obvious but it adds character. His nose is upturned to the sun itself and his brow hangs low over his dark emerald eyes. His lips are perpetually chapped or bitten into, or a particularly delightful mix of both.
-Concept-
Tevinte is the very definition of a child of the elements. The Sea of Grass has been a parent to him in absence of any real parenting and perhaps for the better. It toughened him, gave him a more practical perspective on life. To this day he feels safer on the hunt with his strider than in the presence of his kin. He has a magical touch when it comes to animals. He barks better than he talks. With no immediate family still alive and strained relations with distant relatives Tevinte is very much on his own and he likes it that way. Quick to judge and even quicker to act - such is his nature.
Merits: Toughness and determination. He's a man who'd stand after being knocked down every time. He's one with nature - it perhaps being the only thing he truly respects.
Flaws: Social retardation. Beneath that hard exterior of his there's a distrusting and vulnerable interior. Care is his weakness and the uncanny ability to fall in love far too hard and far too easily. He's no stranger to loneliness and his skill in dealing with that loneliness is lacking severely. Therefore he shuts his feelings behind an iron wall, often making him less than pleasant, hindering him further. He's a terrible judge of his own shortcomings. In fact his gross overestimation more often than not gets him into trouble. From his point of view the world spins only one way and that is his way, seldom taking on board other points of view. Those might as well not exist. If someone disagrees with him they are most likely wrong. Tevinte is a pretty simple man. He does not write at all, barely reads and shies away from academics all together, deeming them less than important in the first place. Some may indeed think him stupid.
-Early days-
Tevinte has less than few memories of his father. The man left when he was but a toddler. Till this day he holds a grudge. Born the youngest of 3, there was 6 years difference between Tevinte and his elder brother and 7 between him and his sister. Perhaps it was this age difference that ostracised him from his siblings for as long as could remember they always despised him and the feeling was mutual. Never had they the chance for reconciliation however. His brother was killed my a glassbeakat. His sister died in her sleep. For as long as he could remember his mother was the only one he had any semblance of a relationship with. Indeed that relationship was incredibly close. Tevinte has no memories of her in a healthy state. There were only those better and worse days in her illness thus, having been somewhat deprived of an actual childhood, his early days consisted of looking after her. Alas she passed away the eve of his 12th birthday. That was probably the darkest day of his life. From then on he was taken under the wings of his father's side of the family, though keeping out of their way whenever he could. It wasn't the case of his cousins treating him badly, rather the rebellious and wounded child that he was he pushed them away, eager to leave his pavilion the second he reached adulthood.
-Equipment-
Weapons
A composite short bow - A battle hardened hunting bow, short but powerful. Perfect for horseback archery. This heirloom has been passed down though ancestry of the Soláris pavilion and somehow wound up in Tevinte's hands. It has served him well thus seldom he parts with the thing.

-Companions-
Darcia (Strider). The centre of Tevinte's world, a bond mate, his better half. Darcia is a large, pure bread Strider stallion with a buckskin coat, a black mane and tail that are kept slightly cropped. His fiery attitude matches only that of Tevinte himself. No wonder the two get along so well - they are equally unruly. They bonded in late summer of 506AV.
Akhila (Akinva Deerstalker) is Tevinte's very first companion. He got her as a very small pup from a trader and the two of them grew up together in a sense. She's a beast of a dog, brindled with black patches around the muzzle and paws, muscular and farce looking. She'd been trained primarily as a guard dog but more often than not joins Tevinte on every hunt as a spectator of a sort. He doesn't just treat her as a pet, a tool to use, but as a close and dear friend.
Jex (Luvanor Grassland Hunter) is still a youngster. He still has that spring to his step. Tevinte bought him in the spring of 514AV as a hunting companion and since then the dog has proved quite useful. He's not the biggest he could be but makes up for it with the utmost lively character. Jex has a light coat of greyish-fawn colour and a white underbelly and what can only be considered a thundering bark.
