Appearance
Thick, raven black hair streaked with silver falls past their shoulders to mid-back, arrow straight and at times adorned with a line of beads or the occasional feather. Weathered dark skin shows the history of their journeys, littered with the scars of victories and defeats. Wrinkles crease at the corners of their eyes from behind faintly scratched glasses, though it's only when they have cause to frown that their age truly shows.Amidst the lines of time, the only significant scar upon their face is an old and faded mark that stretches from just above their left brow and down to their right cheek. It's clear from the size of it that it had done significant damage at the time of the injury, a small divot just between their brows present where they'd suffered the hardest blow.They are of an average height with the build of one with an active lifestyle. Callouses line their hands and feet from decades on the move, and their attire tends to fit the appearance of a man always with the wind at their back. They are often burdened with far too many bags on their person when outside of settlements, always prepared with supplies for a long road ahead.
TLDR: Greying black hair, dark skin, faint wrinkles. One notable scar on their face, from above their left eye across to their right cheek. Usually wears glasses.
Mannerisms
Not often one to initiate eye contact first, they'll keep to their own devices in most circumstances unless something catches their attention. They're painfully blunt, often times speaking their mind with little to no censor. Though not cruel, they'll offer up their opinion if they feel it's warranted. Natáyo is just as keen to offer up praise as much as criticism, finding it a waste of time to dance verbal nuance around the intricacies of social norms. You get what you get, and not a bit more.They're a doting husband to their partner in monster hunting, their gaze softening when it turns his way. They're quick to laugh or frown when the whim strikes them, but sometimes their gaze will wander to a gruff-looking shorter hhetsarro in their company, and it's true that their love hasn't withered in the decades of being in each other's company.
TLDR: Incredibly blunt, can be opinionated. Doesn't waste time beating around the bush in conversations. Absolutely adores his husband.


History
Natáyo's tribe is like any other hhetsarro tribe, following their hhetso, which in their case is the rroneek. They travel with the herds, hunting and gathering as needed, moving every so often among the plains of their home.Occasionally, they'll make it back home to revisit their family, but for decades they've traveled the length and breadth of Tural and beyond in the hunt for vidraal and other dangerous beasts that might cause havoc in their wake, their husband at their side as their lone, stalwart companion.An uncommon face just about anywhere, if there's a monster that needs eradicating, he won't be far behind.
TLDR: Born in Tural, lives a nomadic lifestyle. The hhetso they follow is the rroneek. Hunts vidraal and other beasts. Only travels with his husband.
Hooks
Quick and easy hook is to discuss vidraal or other beasts that might be causing problems for locals. Just give them a direction and they're hired so long as there can be a proper trade deal.
If you're from Tural, chances are you'll have something in common. Trading rumors about the new Dawnservant is among the latest gossip, let alone the attack on Tuliyollal, and whatever Alexandria is.
They're always packed to the brim with supplies, and are typically amenable to sharing or trading under most circumstances.
A healer and mender by trade, they'll help those that are wounded if they believe life-saving measures are warranted. Otherwise, it might be a foul-tasting potion and a few good stitches in your future.


Extras

Frequent body aches and crackes when they sit or stand

Out of Character
I separate IC and OOC. I am not my character and my character's thoughts, speech, and actions are not a reflection of who and what I am out-of-character.I believe in OOC communication if there is something that either party does not understand. If you need for me to clarify something, please don't hesitate to whisper me and ask!I have and will refuse to acknowledge any in-character godmoding or out-of-character harassment. I welcome any interaction in-character, be it pleasant or otherwise, lighter or darker themes. I do not consent to any harm done to my character without prior communication and permission given beforehand. I will always obtain consent before any attempt to harm another's character.
Player is 30+ years old. If you are below 18 or play characters younger than 18, please do not engage. I am not comfortable roleplaying with minors.
LGBTQIA+ and LGBTQIA+ friendly!
I do not roleplay with anyone that uses transphobic terms like trap/futa/etc.
If slurs are part of your vocabulary, please do not engage.
I am not interested in indigenous caricatures and harmful depictions of what racists think 'tribal' is. Tribes are families, stop making it synonymous with 'feral' and 'uncivilized'. Tribal people are not animals and they are not cavemen. If you perpetuate this stereotype, do not approach me.
I'm in the Central timezone. Walk ups welcome if I have my RP tag on! If I miss a post, feel free to whisper me!
