Name: Areu
Gender: Male
Race: Tree Pangolin ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_Pangolin )
Age: 15
Apperance: Rather average in height, Areu is covered in bronze, solid scales, that fail for some unknown reason to cover his upper arms and legs, which are a lighter tan colour, along with his bare stomach.
Areu wears no shoes, as the scales cover his feet, and he is used to travelling barefoot, but he wears a sash with a decorative loincloth, which appears to be standard among his tribe. It should be noted that though Areu's tribe is known for their long tails, his tail is rather short; Barely half his height.
Abilities: In addition to basic swimming and climbing that all those of his tribe learn, Pangolins have piercing claws that are good for gripping and stabbing, as well as nearly indestructable scales for protection. 'Guardians' of the forest indeed. His knuckles as well, due to the fact that pangolins are told to, when crawling, crawl on their knuckles, are rather tough, and though not nearly as harsh as an echidna's, very good for punching.
Areu's more interesting abilities is his improvization. It is required, as a part of his tribe, to be adept in fighting, but also to be able to use the location to his advantage. He will, however, be considerably weaker on the offensive in an unknown area.
Equipment: None, save for a small bag with a carving from his familly.
Personality: Generally rather blunt, and harsh in his speech, Areu has a one track mind, and that is to regain the honor of his family. He holds a serious grudge against most echidna, and will fight until the death if need be with one. Merciless with his fighting, he can often be called 'heartless'... However, that is not the case. He is quite fond of nature, and has a soft spot for children in fact- It's rather interesting to watch the 'no nonsense' pangolin around smaller ones in fact.
History: Approximately five years prior this day, Areu's father's duty was something he was immensely proud of. It was his father's task, much like his fathers before him, to guard the 'Great Tree', and enormous plant in the jungle that created an aura of peace, like the Goddess Case herself. This all changed however, when a small, oddly dressed echidna intruded on his lands, and, after he attempted to protect the tree, Areu's father was defeated by the echidna's strange, and bizarre magics. Unable to stand that he lost to an echidna, and a 'non-physical' one at that, he was forced to relinquish his duty to the 'Great Tree', and his family was forever shrouded in the shame of the forest protecting tribe. Areu, for this reason, vowed to find and defeat the echidna his father lost to, training non-stop, and later leaving the forest to the lands beyond it.. The city. He knows not what he will find there, but he knows this; He WILL regain his family's honor, if his father cannot.
Other: I'm sorry the picture is blurred.. D> *cough* Anywho, this character was actually created for the Battle Tournament plot idea. But I've left a lot 'open', in case that doesn't go through. *nodnod*
