"What are we doing here? Are you going to eat that?"

--Animal

A boy of mysterious origins, Animal is almost assuredly not his given name, but the boy who many claim was raised by the monsters of the wastes, utterly lacks in civility and fully lives up to the name in many ways. Over the past several years, he has occasionally walked into town, a disheveled boy with a wild mane of deep red hair, and uncanny physicality, and only recently, started learning of the life of a Drifter. He is untrained, undisciplined, and when not hunting, utterly lazy, but what he lacks in discipline, technique, technology and sorcery, he makes up with overwhelming physical capability.

Background

An apparent resident of the Badlands. It's impossible to say where Animal is from, or who his parents are, save that they must have been rather unique looking, with their red hair and orange eyes, and they must have been incredibly strong. Either that, or his strength is a result of his time alone in the Badlands.

Powers and Abilities

Stronk: Like stronger than any boy his size and age should be, by leagues. He periodically carries very heavy objects around for fun, and will gladly sell these relics and the pieces of relics he has ripped off of their wholes, for the price of a meat pie.

No Fighting Prowess: Animal has no ability to fight. Any and all damage he might inflict, however meager, is just because he's really strong. He has a natural aptitude of sorts for fighting, but bringing down wild animals in the wild (his only opponents most of his life) teaches a wholly different set of skills than fisticuffs.

Fast Runner: When everyone else uses travel powers, Animal runs, or walks. Everywhere. His feet are practically black because of it, and he's pretty quick.

Eats Anything: It's a key to his survival in the Badlands his whole youth. Eating anything and everything that isn't nailed down.

Relationships

Animal has no real conception of friendship or enemies, he knows some people are more friendly than others, and he has sort of begun to develop a bit of a moral code, but he doesn't really see people like civilized folk do. Too many years of living in the wild, with only his stomach and his will to survive to guide him have taught him that the defining trait of a person is their willingness to share a meal, and whether they try to bite him. Once they stop trying to fight him, he tends to let bygones be bygones. Being more exacting than that would require him to understand political situations which are beyond his understanding for the time being, and asking questions which are even more complex, since he tends to take most statements at face value. Deception, religion and personal beliefs are all things that are alien to him.

A rock is a rock. A thing he can eat, is a thing he can eat. Things are, or are not.

Layna -- Layna Manydays is the one solid acquaintance that Animal has made, and since they seem to get along well enough, she has been helping him in a manner, to find work as a drifter.

Ethius --The leader of the expedition to the Heal Berry Cave. Animal didn't really get an impression of the guy, he didn't seem too shocked when Animal ate a lizard, so he has that going for him. But then later, he ate food that was way over cooked, and that sort of chilled Animal's appreciation for him.

Morgan -- Animal thought he was sort of cool with his fox-ears, and he knew how to fight properly, which Animal appreciates.

Lemina -- She used a lot of magic, which Animal doesn't understand.

Yarobleedt - The weird guy. Animal has been on a few successful digs with the weird guy who can climb on walls, which is something that Animal very much wants to learn to do.

Ambrosius - Animal doesn't know what to make of this guy, but he was there when they went through the temple with the weird dolls. Sephilia -- She's cool.

Lord Chauncy Foxington -- Cooler than Sephilia, and a great conversationalist.

Talise -- She's so pretty that it makes Animal's teeth hurt.

Asteroid -- She is the only one who eats meat pies faster than he does. He must get faster.

Lailah -- She bought him food, which makes her like, the best person ever. Along with all the other people who bought him food.

Corwynt -- He promised to tell Animal about the goddess Althena. Which is pretty cool. He's never met a goddess before, but he thinks they're probably like guardians, which he thinks he might have met. Maybe?

Collected: Odds and Ends

Scutum doll from the Temple of Rejection. Appearing as a beautiful woman, Animal has a life-like doll wearing red and blue armor that he keeps at his 'place' in the badlands.

Funerary cape from Rujm el-Hiri. Animal only really wears it when it's cold, but this is his fourth piece of clothing. Behind his headband, vest, and shorts. It is matte black and does well to hide him in the darkness, but it has no unnatural properties that he knows of.
