Name: Val Mistpelt
Age: 37
Race: Catguy (Half-cat)
Weapons:
Main Weapon: A custom-made six-foot steel halberd with a gold-decorated head.
Secondary Weapons: A small silver dagger adorned with Val's family crest. It is an heirloom of his family. Also, he can use his claws if needs to, but only does in an emergency.
Abilities:
Night Vision - Due to being part cat, Val can see in very low light.
Enhanced Hearing - Also due to the feline features, Val can hear better than normal humans.
Cat's Grace - Increased dexterity and agility, again due to cat.
Items: Keeps only a pendant with a strange symbol. It was the pendant Val gave to his mate as a wedding gift. He got the pendant from her as she was dying. The pendant protects Val from instantly-fatal magic attacks (only ones that kill, not ones that deal damage) because of the Siara's spirit, which resides in it. No other items of notable worth.
Appearance: A slender humanoid male with feline features. Patches of reddish-orange fur on hands, along arms, and on legs. Pointed cat ears are the most prominent feature noticable on Val's head. His eyes are slanted and a deep red-brown. He wears his orange-red hair shoulder length.
He is wearing thin leather armor and leggings, and a special form of boots made to fit his feet correctly.
Personality: Val is quiet, only usually socializing with those he knows or those he wishes/needs to know. He believes solidly in justice, but wishes not to be praised for what he does. When one gets to know him, they find out he is sensitive and kind. He'll fight for what he believes in, but he'd rather not fight at all. He gives off the impression that he has no particular goal in life except that he wanders around doing good.
History: Val was born and raised in the roaming pack known as Redwater, consisting of many smaller family packs. He led a fairly normal life, rising quickly in the ranks of the hunter class. He wed when he was 24 to a woman from the Brightpelt pack named Siara. They lived happily and had a single child: Mykilli.
However, when Mykilli was three years old, a cataclysm befell Redwater. The details of it are uncertain, and he has blocked much of it from his mind involuntarily. The Redwater pack was almost completely obliterated in one night. The last thing Val remembers is holding Siara in his arms as she lay dying. Siara gave Val the pendant and told him never to lose it, and that she'd protect him from then on. He took it, wanting to honor his wife's last wish. Barely avoiding death himself, he searched frantically for Mykilli, but could find no trace of his young son. Stricken with grief and fear, he blacked out, and awoke a few days later on the bank of a stream a few miles north of where the pack was at the time.
After that, Val migrated to Faethaven, doing good deeds because he always felt guilty about not being able to save Siara. Mostly, he has been doing various jobs to keep himself afloat. About a year ago, he heard rumors that someone in Faethaven knows the details of the Redwater Incident, but has been as of yet unable to find out anything significant. He frequents taverns and other places of interest to see if he can learn the truth of what happened that night. He thinks it might put his soul at ease, somehow...
EDIT: There ya guys go, I fixed the problem with the whole Redwater town thing. Now it makes more sense with the world and all.
