Description

A sad scruff of stubble lines his squared and defined jaw, hinting at the man that this boy is attempting to become, and making it difficult to age him just by looks. His skin is well-tanned beneath the smudges of dirt, bruises and scratches, hinting of tones used to warmer climates. Shadowed beneath spikey black hair, bronze in just the right light, are rather piercing, perhaps mischievous green-touched blue eyes. He has a hardness about his lazy, awkward, slouched stance that highly suggests the term trouble. Or misfit. Or both. Standing straight, though rare that may be, he reaches about 5'11" or so of lithe stature but it's clear that he isn't quite finished growing. His limbs are long and lanky in comparison to his body but already toned with the hint of muscular potential, and his torso is as skinny as can be. His athleticism is obvious, his direction not so much.

He's dressed in darker colored garb from head to toe which may have been black at some point but has long since faded, fingerless gloves and hood included. Baggy wher-hide jacket and pants are cheaper in make, but usable. The material is thin, the edges are worn and just a bit ragged from high wear and tear. There is, however, a small patch of material sewed on with poor form onto his left shoulder which seems to have numerous tiny scratch marks all over it. Around his right arm beneath his jacket is a hide strap that holds three heavy metal four inch long pins that perhaps take the place of, or are in addition to, an unseen traditional belt knife.

Background

It started as simply as intervening ships enroute from Gar to Boll, and later from Ista to Fort. His father, wholly skilled at the sea and its crafts, had a steady hand in the seaborne raids. After the event of the Scudder, he had reached out to the land based raids, joining the renegades and meeting the woman who would become Kael's mother on the evening of being apprehended at a hand-off of supplies by Fort Weyr riders.

Kaelige was born not long after the exiles had made a make-shift home out of their Southern colony. Although a younger brother was born a few years following him, he shortly perished of an illness as an infant, and his mother became too frail to bear further children,. Kael, though perhaps lacking in general social skills, was raised with a non-harper but still strict discipline into the basics of reading and writing, and even heavier in the aspects of survival, hunting, and understanding of beasts and the sea. Fighting was a necessity, but he seemed weaker at direct confrontation, and far more skilled in the use of smaller weapons and subtlety to end a physical contest quickly.

Following his bonding to a dusky brown firelizard he called Chiv, and having no law restricting him from his own movements, he decided after hearing of other children leaving the colony adragonback to return to the Fort area of his own accord.
