CHARACTER INFORMATION
NAME: Hawke Starfyr
CANON: N/ACANON POINT: N/A
CHARACTER AGE: 21 (Birthdate: Oct 31)
HISTORY:
Hawke began his life with his parents on Earth, born on Halloween. Being a magic user herself, his mother soon realized that a different kind of magic ran through her son's blood and she had no clue how best to train him with it. While she wasn't searching for help, help seemed to land in their laps when an ancient race from another world had finally found them on Earth. These beings were taller and while humanoid carried on the traits of satyrs with long tails and scales on much of their bodies. They were a fearsome looking race with gentle hearts, especially for children. Even though Hawke didn't understand the things that were taking place, he became friends with them while still a young child and accepted them as part of his family structure.
When he was a toddler, his mother asked one of the Faunlyn guards, Shai, to keep him safe and train him to be a strong and kind man. The boy had a type of magic that she was unable to help Hawke harness and felt that it was best for the Faunlyn to train him so that he wouldn't grow to be a ruthless killer as his biological father had been. From the time he was eight years old, Hawke has lived with the Faunlyn. Over time, he learned the history, language, customs and magic of this secretive, non human people and eventually passed their tests of manhood to become an accepted member of the Faunlyn.
From the day he came to live with them, he's been taught a type of magic known as 'BloodSpeaking.' In human terms, the skill would be called blood magic. The magic not only allows the wielder to control his blood, but the blood of others. Since Hawke is only an apprentice he is not considered a proficient user by Faunlyn standards, he may be considered very powerful by human standards.
At about age fifteen, Hawke passed the tests to become a man and a member of society. Part of those rites included taking on a first lover. This ceremony is very important in Faunlyn society, and is the closest thing they have in terms of marriage. He now resides in the home of his First, even though he moves freely between his First's home and that of his teacher's. He also has several lovers in the mountain, and there is no jealousy between them.

PERSONALITY:
Due to his upbringing, Hawke is a very kind an polite person. He is eager to help others and won't hesitate to help someone in need. He's driven to protect the weak and innocent. Even though Hawke is human and knows English, his words and concepts of reality are geared more towards Faunlyn thoughts. When he does speak, it's with an accent resembling Russian with a penchant to roll his r's and add stresses to syllables that normally wouldn't be stressed in English.
Hawke has the uncanny ability to read body language and nine times out of ten can tell when someone is speaking an untruth or is trying to hide information from him. His strength is reading the body language of humans and Faunlyn. If he's not familiar with another species, he won't be able to read their body language easily until he learns their mannerisms. While he is fluent in body language and the spoken language of the Faunlyn, he can easily miss many slang terms and only has a second grade reading comprehension in English. This does not mean he's not intelligent but the fact that English is a second language to him.
Hawke is quiet, extremely insightful and does his best to learn about all sides of a situation before making a final decision. His speech and mannerisms are more direct and literal than most humans. Though he is prone to fits of excitability and young adult rebellion, he is more of an adult than many others his age. Brutally honest to a fault, Hawke is not bound by prejudice, jealousy or bodily shame. He hates to wear confining human clothing and will prefer light airy clothing or none at all. Hawke will wear clothes to keep warm or protect himself from the elements, but if he is indoors, he will prefer a waist cloth and nothing else.
He can have a very strong and protective streak if he or any person he considers a friend or family is threatened by danger. If someone is ill, he will be adamant that they rest and seek the assistance of a healer, especially if it is something he cannot easily deal with. This behavior developed because his adoptive mother is a healer. This behavior can be mistaken as overbearing, intimidating and almost aggressive. Hawke acts this way out of concern, and if it's pointed out that he may be causing more distress, he will immediately back off and be extremely apologetic.
Hawke has been raised by a people who view the body not as a thing of shame or something that should be sexualized, but something that is as common as rocks, trees, or water. Breasts are used to feed young and bodily functions are not disgusting, but common and natural. While many concepts that humans consider as 'disgusting' are normal and not hidden, privacy is honored in society. For Hawke, physical connection is very important to him. The Faunlyn have close connections with each other to the point where anyone is observed as a loner, they are deemed unwell and sick. Even though Hawke is a human, he will keep this main personality trait and try to keep close to others he trusts. To people he's comfortable with, he will try to keep as much physical contact with them, even if it's just touching their arm or shoulder or side and may even be bold enough to nuzzle or cuddle with them if they seem receptive to it. Even though he has a 'free love' and casual view about sex, he would be very cautious about forming any sexual ties in a new place because humans tend to be jealous and possessive about their sexual partners.
When faced with being in an environment he's not familiar with, he may act extremely defensive and act like caged animal. While he will not lie outright, he may be uncooperative in answering questions, especially questions regarding the Faunlyn and his powers. Hawke is an adaptable person and will acclimate himself in order to survive, but he will hold onto the belief that the dream walkers of his people will find his spirit and bring him home.
ABILITIES:
Hawke is naturally very strong and graceful, but not beyond human capabilities. Being brought up in a culture where body language is more important than the spoken word (and often times is used in conjunction with it) he can also read a person by their stance and facial expression. This is mostly for humans and will take time for him to learn another species that is not humanoid. He can also hunt, track and ride as part of his mundane skills.
His magical ability is BloodSpeaking, which gives him the ability to control his blood and control the blood of others.
BloodShield:
Hawke can use his blood or the blood of others to coat himself. When the blood is upon his skin, it writhes around in an 'undirected' state. By his own will, the blood can gather and form a shield on his whole person or a certain section of his person to deflect blows and attacks. This ability lasts as long as the blood is flowing.
BloodWhip:
From a wound on his body, Hawke can call out a rope of blood and use it like a lasso. With this, he can tie others or knock them off their feet. The blood is effective as long as it's flowing as he has a physical connection to it and it is not cut or broken. If the whip is broken, he does feel pain from the loss of connection. Max range is 30 feet (for striking) with a time usage of 2 hours if used constantly.
Exsanguination:
If another person has a wound, Hawke can call forth blood from that wound to make them bleed out. If someone is bleeding profusely, he can prevent blood loss by will alone or if he's touching the person. This is a ranged ability, and is only effective if Hawke is within 10 feet of the injured person. The closer he is to the person, the more effective it is.
In addition, Hawke is also able to control his pulse, detoxify his own blood (from poisons or alcohol) and raise or lower his body temperature accordingly. He can also sense the pulse in others, helping him to determine if they are well or anxious. He can also calm others pulses so they can handle stressful situations better, or increase and decrease blood flow to certain areas of the body for healing purposes. He is able to self heal his self-inflicted wounds and other minor wounds within a day.
