Role

Chapter 4

Rough past:
He was not himself beaten and abused by a slave master, but he has been
raised on such stories. The streets of Blackclaw are fierce and cruel. As far
as he knows, he is the only of his litter to survive. Much of his bad
feelings towards the rich, advantaged and educated people stem from having no
family like he observed in the city. Many abused him because of his smaller
size (though he is average for a felar). This is reflected in his chosen
stance as a 'bully'.

Ritur the Thug:
Instead of shame for his underhanded ways, he is proud that he is able to put
down many people even if he cannot defeat them. His strength lies in his
confidence. Using deceptive attitudes, he likes to remain elusive in his own
strength while demeaning any others. He'll play up the weak, to make his own
victories seem more impressive and play down the strong in the hope he can
avoid conflict or make lost scraps look close.

Magic:
Ritur believes magic is something of a curse. Like a competitor in a boxing
match using a knife, he hates mages for trying to take such mystical power
for themselves. He sees it as stolen strength, an attempt by a mortal to
attain Godhood. Even the most incompetent mage is guilty of trying to steal
the Gods power to enhance their own. It is because of such undeserved power
that Ritur believes the Mages were able to enslave his race and that any who
study it secretly think them the master of everything they see.

Truth and lies:
Ritur lies constantly - it's almost an expected way of life. He likes tricks
and jokes to keep people on their toes. He'll also be playful at times and in
there lies his honesty. Though he has always been a competitive young scamp
he has a warm place in his heart for a brother he can play with. This will be
the only aspect from which he will be trustable. To who this might apply, or
how, will have to grow as he does.

The Pack:
His strong pack instinct leaves him sympathetic to other felar, friend or
foe. Though he was harshest to them during his upbringing, he feels hes
abandoned his past in straying into the world and enjoys fighting with or
against other felar. Whether its out of a genuine pride for his race or
simply that he can prove himself better than them, he's not sure, but the
feeling he has is better around another felar.

The Divine:
Despite his hate of magic, due to the cruelty of the mages, he holds a great
respect for magic in the hands of the Gods. Priests, even peaceful ones, are
something he fears and likes to avoid because of their closeness to such
divine power. The Gods are always to be reverred and he would prefer to
distance himself from any direct involvement.
