Name: Wind of Height

Age: 43

Personality: Though weak in muscle, Wind of Height has a large heart to make up for it. He is very generous, and shares everything, no matter how hungry he is, Sometimes, when Wind of Height and 5 other hunters from the tribe are out, Wind of Height passed out, cuasing many to curse at him, causing him to be left behind. He is very stubborn and always wants to do them, resulting in large tantrums.

Appearance: Wind of height is a man of great size. He is tall, 6 foot 4 inches. He has long gray hair, childish eyes, and an always smiling mouth. He is a very weak man, unlike most of the men on his tribe. He is lean and underweight, His skin is pale as the snow. His hairband is dark, always tied up in a ponytail. His shirt is always camoflage, like an army shirt. The shorts are brown. He is mostly barefoot, but sometimes wears brown khaki sandals.

History: Wind of Height was not always called this name. He was called Mighty Storm. He was way more athletic, and way younger, then. He was included every time in hunting missions, resulting in other warriors to be jealous of him. The warriors, Heavy Boulder, a teen, about to get married, and Ice Melting, an adult, killed his family, when he was 9 years old. Mighty Storm was no longer mighty. He ran away to a mountain far in the north and thought there for a while. He was thinking, "It was my thought. I'm being too good at finding food. I need to go less often." So, he came back to the tribe, to find the area deserted. There was a note...

"Mighty Storm, you will find us gone form the base. At the middle of Mt. Frio, we decided we were too close to the southern border of our territory. We moved back and to Mt. Shiver, and we set ourselves up at 10,006 feet. Your name, for running away, will be changed to Wind Runner."

He ran, and found the tribe after 3 moons. They were there, staring at him. He apologized, and gave them the food he collected along the way.

He was back at 10. He was a worker on the base for 5 suns, and went to hunt for 2 suns. It lasted like that until 17. Then, he met the woman of his dreams. Problem broke out, because Cold Star was from the Mystery Star tribe, a rival tribe. So, a war broke out between the tribes. The advantage was originally North Stars tribe. Then, the leader of The Mountain Warriors teamed up with Wind Runner and defeated the seemingly omnipotent North Star, They had a strong government, so they didn't give up. They originally tried for peace, saying that
"If you, Ruler of the Highlands, halve your land, our tribes will be peaceful and we will let Wind Runner marry Cold Star." They were reluctant to give their land up at first, but then Wind Runner ,ade a touching speech. The tribe agreed and Wind Runner and Cold Star lived happily ever after...

So they thought...

When the tribe got back to base, their land was in ruins. They blamed Cold Star for the act. Cold Star was innocent, but she got hung. Wind Runner was weakened. He was sad for many moons, countless, 4 years passed by. Ruler of the Highlands thought, "This man needs to get some food for the tribe." Wind Runner went with the 4 nicest warriors of the tribe, but Wind Runner was reported to only bring one thing back and to fall down many times, ewhile the others got 10 through 13 things. Wind runner felt he didn't really deserve what he killed, so he gave it to an elder.

His drop in hunting was continuing, but he continued to share his food. Ruler of the Highlands resigned his position, and From the Forest took over. With From the Forest as leader, the tribe

Name: Whispering Hollow
Gender: Female
Age: 21

Personality: A gentle and affectionate young girl, Whispering Hollow has always had a way with nature, be it beast, plant or element. Her creative mind an resourcefulness takes advantage of most situations and enables her to survive quite efficiently. She has a great respect for the land and continuously seeks to make offerings when good fortune crosses her path, although she can be a little careless at times and thus regrets her actions deeply.

Her incessant curiosity is the main cause of these thoughtless tendencies, and many a time has a fellow tribal member had to come to her aid and given her a scalding. But despite their stern words and frustration, her endearing charm and innocence has kept her from being cast out by the tribe, who like to think her inquisitive and adventurous nature may turn up something useful one day.

Appearance: At a mere 5'3" and 106lb, Whispering Hollow has a tiny and svelte build which gives her a motherly, feminine appearance. Her deep, blue green eyes burst with emotion and have been described as celestial pools of peaceful dreams, which have been known to calm or sadden the most enraged beast.

Her auburn hair, along with her slender neck and wrists, are often adorned with handmade jewelry, often made from glittering gemstones, feathers and bones. She makes her own garments, and tends to wear an earth-coloured, suede tunic and leggings with a fur-collared cloak. She also possesses a skull helmet and ivory staff, which she adorns in battle to hide her dainty features.

History: Whispering Hollow was born in a small cave at the base of the mountain region after her mother, Echoing Birdsong suddenly fell into labor a she was foraging alone. Unfortunately, there were complications during the birth, rendering Whispering Hollow's mother paralyzed from the waist down and totally vulnerable to attacks, but seeing her daughter's innocent face was enough to keep her strong, and so they were forced to reside in the cave until the tribe found them.

A female marowak thankfully wandered into the cave with her offspring and took pity on the paralytic human, bringing them food and water and protecting her from the vicious beasts that tried to get into the cave, and in return Whispering Hollow and her mother looked after Marowak's offspring and kept the family warm.

A tragic event happened not too long after, when Whispering Hollows tribe found her and Echoing Birdsong, only to be attacked by the territorial marowak. thinking that the beast was holding their tribe members prisoner, they hastily slaughtered it in front of Whispering Hollow and the young cubone before Birdsong could yell out in protest.

Enraged by the tribe's foolish actions, Echoing Birdsong refused to return home with them and held the cubone and her own child close. but the tribe refused to give in and managed to take all three of them back, eventually calming Birdsong down by promising to ritually bury the marowak and give her a spirit shrine so that she could protect Echoing Birdsong's family in her afterlife.

Echoing Birdsong made sure to tell the story to her daughter as she grew up, and taught her to be benevolent and kind just as their spirit guide was. They regularly visited the shrine and built a small den closeby for the cubone, so that he was always close to his mother.

Whispering Hollow's mother died during a particularly harsh winter when she was 16. Hollow herself found her mother dying in front of the marowak shrine and held her close, knowing that there was nothing she could do except comfort her. Birdsong managed to place a hand on her daughters cheek and utter her deep, maternal love for her before slipping away. Hollow was filled with great sadness as she felt her mother go, but knew she'd be watching over her just as the marowak did. And with that in mind, she painstakingly buried Whispering birdsong in the place she died and soon after erected a second shine in her name.

Although it has been five years since her mother's death and the emotional pain has slowly faded, she still visits the two shrines every day and aspires to be as benevolent as Birdsong and the marowak.

I reposted mine for RPer's convenience. I think we should have this thread for the ACCEPTED Bios, so that it's easier to see who's involved. But that's just me... ^^; We could also do with a link to the RP thread from here and vice versa.

Can't wait to see your bio finished, Infinite Meditation! ^_^

Oh, yes, I hadn't thought of that. Maybe because I'm new to the RP gamemastering world. Good ideas.

Aha! You finally got the OOC thread up! Maybe now things will start to pick up. But until then, here's my SU reposted:

Name: Shouting Tree (or Red, by his friends)
Age: 24
Personality: Shouting Tree is stoic and reserved, preferring to choose his words carefully before speaking. However, when he does speak, he speaks very loud and with authority. He is stern, disciplined, and has no tolerance for foolishness, but when the day is done and he sits by the fire with comrades he is known for his sense of humor. In other words, he works hard and parties hard. He is a skilled, tenacious warrior and very intelligent, but this gives him a hint of arrogance, for he usually believes himself to be the best of all his companions (which is usually true when hunting, but whatever). Due to his own excess of competence, he has notably little patience for failure. With his arrogance and lack of patience, he also has a fairly short temper, and will angrily reprimand others on his hunting party if they mess up. Despite his short temper, he has adequate self control, and believes that "true men" avoid needless fighting.
Appearance: Shouting Tree stands at 6'7" and has a heavy, muscular build. His face has piercing, intimidating eyes, heavy dark brows, and a wide mouth full of jagged teeth that give him a somewhat bestial appearance when his mouth is open. He has very thick, very long black hair, but this is usually kept under his parka. His parka is snow white and made from abomasnow hide, and his pants, boots and gloves are made from ursaring hide. Around his waist he wears a thick leather belt decorated with native copper beads and the teeth and claws of creatures he has slain. He usually carries a plethora of weapons, including a heavy bone knife, a war club, and at least two spears. Under his parka he has several scars, the most noticeable of which are several ragged cuts in his abdomen ringed by skin paled by frostburn, from where he fought an abomasnow and took several ice shards to the gut.
History: Shouting Tree was the firstborn son of the Mountain Warriors' medicine man, Speaking Blizzard and his wife Sky that Shimmers. While he was young, he was picked on for being the slowest of his friends. This is because he was somewhat spoiled when he was a kid, and was given comparatively few chores and plenty to eat. When he hit puberty, he started going hunting with his father and his uncle Jagged Ice. This is when he started to lose weight and build muscle mass, becoming the great warrior he is today. His birth name was not Shouting Tree, but Red Snow. However, he earned the name Shouting Tree from his great stature and for the one time he killed a wild abomasnow with only his knife while screaming at the top of his lungs (he made the abomasnow into his parka afterwards). For this reason, his friends will still call him Red, for short. Due to his great hunting prowess, he and his family became very wealthy with hides and stored food, and he would trade some of it away for copper beads to decorate his belt. He had a younger brother, Hissing Fire, but he was killed when he tried to top Shouting Tree's abomasnow fight by taking on three sneasels at once with his bare hands (he never was very bright). After Hissing Fire died, he decided to stay with his parents for a few more years to help his mother cope with the grief. He's getting tired of living with his parents, though, due to his alpha-male personality, and plans on moving out soon.

Spoiler:

Name: Water Mask (known as Axayácatl or Aya for short(only his close friends ever call him that))

Age: 45

Personality: Axayácatl lived in his village until the age of twenty-six, and up until that point was known throughout the village as a calm, intelligent, patient and honest man. In truth, he is. Axayácatl, or Water Mask is so indifferent and cold towards the world that he is able to see everything from a completely unbiased position. As a matter of fact, he has such a superiority complex, that even when an issue directly affects him, he is able to solve it in an unbiased manner since he doesn't need the 'extra-help' or 'self-pity'. However, the way in which he always talks is also always supported by his actions, and thus, rather than been seen as a prick, Axayácatl was instead praised and admired by his fellow tribe members.

Appearance: Axayácatl is a middle age man of dark and wrinkly skin. He is a bit shorter than average standing at 5'9", and is extremely thin due to adopting a vegan diet after going into hermitage. He shaves his head, as well as the rest of the body in an attempt to keep himself 'cleased', and thus has several small scar on his scalp, stomach, legs, armpits, etcetera. He also has big holes on his earlobes since he took off his ceremonial plugs (a man gets plugs when he first hunts a 'big' game by himself; the plugs increase in size depending on their accomplishments from there on). Since Axayácatl lives by himself, he lives in the nude.

History: Axayácatl, or Aya, as his friends would later call him, was born on a warm rainy day in the land of Palm Trees. His name, which means Water Mask in their native language, was given to him as to show respect to a particular Masquerain who witnessed the birth after flying into a room where Aya was born. His parents were the young couple of Angry Thunder, a big, powerful, and boastful man who prided himself on his various accomplishments in war and Blossoming Flower, his third wife who was admired for her beauty throughout the village.

Axayácatl was always told that he had inherited his father's skill, and face, but her mother's silent demeanor, while his younger brother, Cuauhtemoc ('Falling Eagle') had inherited his father's powerful and intimidating personality, along with his height and their mother's beautiful looks. Angry Thunder also had a daughter with his first wife, called Yellow Moon, while his second wife died in childbirth along with the kid.

At the time of this particular tragedy, Aya was already five, while Temo (his brother) and Yellow (his sister) were three and two years old respectively, and though the two younger siblings were oblivious to their surroundings, Aya had already developed enough curiosity for the world to understand the dark aura. Angry Thunder left home one night, and didn't come back.

Even so, Aya was able to grow as a normal kid along with many friends. Being son of a powerful man couldn't possibly hurt his status. At the young age of fourteen, Aya retrieved his first big game by taking down a Stantler by himself. At the age of sixteen, he proposed to the most beautiful girl in the village (in his opinion), Iztaccíhuatl (or Itsy for short, ('White Woman')), by bringing her family a Venusaur's back flower as well as five baskets of Tropius' fruit as dowry. His marriage proposal was of course accepted, and Aya immediately became one of the most influential persons in the village because of the sheer size of his actions.

Aya continued to be the most influential person in the village because of his humility, and skill, and was quickly followed by his brother who became known as the Angry Tsunami after wrestling down a Tauros by holding it by the horns and turning it side to side until its neck finally gave in. Aya, however, was impressed more by his brother's stubbornness to impress him rather than his strength. Yes, life was good to Thunder's offspring. Yellow kept growing more and more, and was followed around by various suitors. And Blossoming Flower's children were all too well known, Temo in particular for being able to support his three wives and six kids at the young age of twenty-four, while Aya became the tribe's 'leader in practice' at twenty-six.

However, Thunder's oldest son would be haunted by the same curse laid upon him in his lifetime. During a fun hunt with his brother, a fire started in his house, and his wife and both kids (one nine, the other seven) were burned to death, and buried under the rubble. Aya himself unburied them, and like his father left the village to become a hermit. Now he spends his time carving wood figurines, and talking to a particular Shiftry who lives with him. In his tribe, children's mothers use his tragedy as an example for kids NOT to play with fire, and he is known as the 'Man of Never-Ending Tears'.
