Personality

Chayton is a calm and mostly gentle creature, as almost everybody would expect from a Tauren. Even though, considering his age, he can be a little reckless when going on adventures, he'll be careful not to act in an improper way regarding his ancestors, people or companions. Dedicated to Nature but also to helping those who could cross his path, he'll be careful not to harm anybody except when needed, such as during a hunt for food or saving someone in troubles with animals or evil humanoids. Passing most of his days in a feral form, he'll be behaving slightly oddly after a transformation back to his original form for a few hours.

Alignment: Neutral good

History

Chayton was born between the second and third war. Living away from troubles until the Horde found his people and decided an alliance, his young age has kept him out of battlefields for most of his life, even though his druidic training, taken from his father, would sometime make him cross the path of Horde soldiers, fighting centaurs and even getting his first battle experience while using the force of Nature to heal wounded warriors. Still considered a child by his people as the war against the Lich King started, Chayton was left to train in Mulgore and the Barrens, living a wild-life in order to learn from animals, nature and training for a nomadic life like his people always experienced. Hunting for his own food, working leather by himself, his years of self-training has lead him to being a juggernaut, even for his people but also slightly recluse from Tribe life. Acting a little oddly when confronted to his own kind, he still does his best in order to fit in with them.

His experience with other races is close to zero. Meeting Trolls or Orcs now and there would provide him with further social experiences and the few excursions in Ashenvale he might have done has lead him to encounters with night-elves and, sometimes, other druids from which he could learn either by discussion or by fighting his way out of the elves lands. Of the other races, Chayton knows little but he always find himself curious about their sedentary way of life. Still attached to his lands, Chayton had some troubles taking the boat to leave Kalimdor in order to explore the Eastern Kingdoms and even then, he found it hard to leave the safety of Stranglethorn jungles and presence of his fellow Horde companions. Continuing in his druidic training by himself but trying to learn about restoration and balance schools of druidism, he spends a little less time in Feral form only to learn better and give a humanoid's eye onto the world.

Skills and Abilities

Born giant, raised by nature: Chayton was gifted at his birth by a size above average, both his parents having a great stature, it was only logical for nature to make him stand above the average Tauren but his mass and built can also be explained by years of life in the wild, hunting for his own food and never lacking preys in order to grow larger and stronger. Being that large and bulky has its advantages and Chayton will find himself easily doing physical tasks, but this also makes him unable to take on more delicate work due to the size of his hands or even the considerable strength he'll use even when trying not to.

Feral druid: Preferring the way of the beasts, Chayton is capable of morphing into impressive animals rapidly and without much pain or physical problems. This, in fact, works the other way. Used to spend his days like an animal rather than a Tauren, he often seems lost while standing in his humanoid form, making him less capable of complicated tasks for a few hours.
