The mods posted about a new player, and that would be me! :D I'm Joey, bringing you the very angry, very combative James Proudstar, but don't call him James, we won't answer to that name anymore, Warpath will suffice. This kid has been through hell and back with tragic losses, and it shows in his personality. He has only completed his first semester of schooling here, having missed out his Freshman year in order to be reaquainted with society and become more accustomed to Americanized ways of life.
Warpath is pretty complicated, so I'll direct your attention to his biography to better understand why he is the way he is.
He was born and raised on an Apache reservation in Arizona where he was taught the ways of his ancestors and hidden from the world of technology and westernization. His morals and beliefs will vary drastically from his peers, but after his first semester, he's quickly learning what is acceptable to the majority in order to blend in better. Schooling itself isn't that important to him, as he does not understand the purpose of a 'graduation' or degree, or structured education that doesn't involve life and survival skills. He does however, pride himself in his combat skills. Warpath is enhanced in many aspects: strength, stamina, dexterity, senses, to which he honed those skills into becoming an incredible hunter, tracker, and gatherer for his tribe. He used his skills to seek revenge on the people that killed his mother, so yes, he has killed before, and believes he is a true man because of it.
Warpath has plenty of opinions on how great his skills are, which he normally can back up those claims, but he can often be reckless, to the point of endangering himself or others when it comes to combat. Or challenges. His competitive nature will probably get him in trouble with others, including the staff. The best way to keep him reserved and subdued is allowing him spar, and spar often. He is diligent and proud with his training, and excels greatly at it. If you can keep up with him in battle, you will earn his respect, if you beat him in battle, he will honor you in higher respects.
I'll stop rambling, you can just read his bio lol, I'm just super stoked to be trying this character out, and I look forward to playing with all of you! If you would like to plot for anything that may have happened during his first semester here, leave a comment or toss me an IM at: josh can heal. Thanks for accepting me into the game! -Joey
Ooh!! Almost forgot! There IS a particular combat scene I'd like to get established, so if anyone is willing to donate their character for a fantastic butt-whooping by Warpath during a sparring match, let me know, I'd greatly appreciate it!
Double Oh! I forgot to mention that he is 6'3". He's 7'2" in the comics, so he hasn't even hit his growth spurt yet!
