Vital Information
Gender: Male (sort of repressed, probably pansexual)
Appearance: A short, wiry black-haired young man with a sharp, angular face and prominent cheekbones. He has several black rings tattooed on his arms, resembling the rings on a raccoon's tail. His hands sometimes seem too long for the rest of his body, and animated with hidden excitement, always moving, grasping this or that, or forming strange signs as he talks.
Mark: His eyes, which could be taken for very, very light brown, but are actually honey-yellow.
Personality: Withdrawn and calm, but actually starving for approval and attention. Has trouble understanding humor. No sense of personal space. Usually sincere about his opinions, but dislikes engaging in serious discussion.
Catalyst Emotion: Pride.
History
Background: Born in a rather primitive tribe as a shaman's illegitimate child. The shamans of the tribe in question are supposed to be almost celibate, engaging in snoo-snoo only to sire an heir to the position, so the shaman in question was exiled, and another appointed in his place. Nobody blamed Yuun for the circumstances of his birth, but his obvious magical power (the domain of shamans, not regular tribesmen) made the others wary of him; among the tribes, it is thought that only the legitimate children of shamans, conceived after the appropriate rituals, are fit to wield magic for the good of others. Therefore, when Yuun got fed up with feeling dangerous, he left his tribe to travel the world.
Trigger: When his tribe had to move out of a mud flow's way, he was left behind by accident (actual accident, not malice). He did not drown, and was not crushed. He was discovered in the place his mother's tent stood, making mud pies, the rest of the camp around him leveled by the flowing mud and moving rocks.
Retreat: Left the tribe on his own, feeling unneeded. His subconscious desire to prove himself led him to join the army.

Other:
Yuun refuses to part from his large buckskin backpack, sewn with multiple pockets and embroidered at the laces with simple blue and red geometric patterns. Inside, there's always a ball of string, a knife, and his apothecary's kit - probably his most expensive possession, a carved wooden box filled with glassware: he traded with a traveling merchant for it.
Alright, I understand that the whole background of my character is invalid if magic is not inherited. I'll rewrite it, if that's the case. Sorry. Are my skills alright?
