Personality;;
Karuk has a great respect for the earth and the creatures that live here. He can be wise at times and will give his advice if asked. He is quiet, both in the way he moves and in the matters of speaking. His loud markings greatly contrast his subdued personality. He is more of a peace keeper, and hopes that the war will not start again; for the destruction it caused is buried deep with those who can remember.
He is reserved and happy with the company of Kilton, although he is not against the company of others either.
History;;
When the war began, Karuk was a young stag with a typical attitude. He jumped at the chance to prove himself and quickly joined the ranks of a small attack force. He was strong and could hold his own against the enemy easily. Though, his life did not revolve around the war. He had a mate at home, pregnant with their first foal. She waited with worry for those small occasions when he was allowed to leave for a few days to rest, only to return again and fight. He soon became tired with these meaningless battles; what were they really fighting for? All of this bloodshed for land and power? He didn't like it, not at all; but he couldn't leave now. Though, when his herd was attacked and his mate killed with all the others he had called family, he tried to leave. He didn't want to fight any longer. His commanding officer refused, and when he still tried to leave, he was beat and left to die. They told his if he wasn't going to fight, he wasn't allowed to remain alive. As he stuggled to live, one of the mares wound him and healed him, leaving not even a scar on his painted coat. They offered him a choice; strength or healing? Of course, he chose to heal, hoping he could help someone in the way he hadn't been able to help his mate.
He began to wander; distancing himself as far as he could from the fighting and the death. He reached the shores of one land, after the island had been split, and he continued to walk along the water; away from the other creatures. One night, while doxing under a large tree, a baby eagle fell from it's nest. He was startled awake; never sleeping very deeply these days, and realized what had happened. The young bird wasn't very old, but seemed to have been beginning to learn to fly. He knew this sometimes happened, and the parents would probably leave him to fin for himself. That night he named the fledgling Kilton, and they've been together ever since.
