History: Shadestep is only half Wolfrider born to a Wolfrider mother elsewhere that had no interest in a cub. When Straystar (Shadesteps cub name) was 10 seasons old Kesryn took his son and continued to travel wherever. Kesryn was able to hide their scent via a mixture he made and that kept them fairly safe during travels from hostile animals and helped them on their hunts. Straystar learned many things but showed no promise in any magic use so his father taught him the skills he needed to survive the harsh world.
He is a wandering type like his father but finds he enjoys the hustle and bustle of tribes. He and his father parted way when Straystar was in his early 400s. He wanted to go back north and Kesryn did not. He wished is son adieu and his location is unknown. Straystar encountered the troll scout that tried to kill him and was injured past the point of being able to travel further. He was found by a huntress and her brother of a nearby tribe that saved his life. At this tribe he earn the name Shadestep once healed, with a new name and a new tribe he forgot about going north or wandering for about 300 years or so.
He has never met Wavedancers in his travels because he never ventured near the sea. He has met Plains dwellers the most, Wolfriders recently and for the second time. Some Go-back scouts long ago but did not meet the rest of their group.
Arrived at Embers tribe from following the river nearby meeting some of the elves there by chance He was there for a four and some moons and learned some histories and stories from their Howlkeeper Pike as well as getting some dreamberries for the road. He got his leathers repaired/replaced and did some work and hunting to trade for a new spear. He decided to travel to Wolfdancers tribe with the others going since he did not feel a fit with her Tribe though he enjoyed the time spent there.
Often seen wearing: Natural colored leathers he traded for, two light blue feathers in his hair and the canine tooth of his first wolf bond on a necklace. Has a grass woven hat he liked to wear While living on the plains. (Think cone like oriental hat) It mostly hangs in his den now as there is plenty of shade in the forest. May wear it for a sun nap down by the river for old times sake. Also wears a wide sash like leather belt.
POST WARP: He now wears a dark blue tunic
Hair: Dark silver fading the lighter silver from years in the sun. Kept short, flips out and always in his eyes because he never ties it back. He has two longer strands tied with leather in front of his ears.
Has goatee for facial fur only had it for about 20-25 years due to his heritage so he was 915 or 920. This is why he always is joking unbeknown to the Wolfriders that "What this means I'm Old?" Has two light blue feathers on one side. He found out the tribe he was born to loved feathers and now understands why they have always meant something to him.
Eyes: Dark blue with a sometimes purple hue and slightly slanted. Usually smirking and mischievous friendly glint in his eyes though he is not much for playing pranks he is good natured about them and will return such favors.
Body: Skin tone is nice light tan from years on the plains. Has a faded stab wound scar from the mountain troll encounter just above his right hip, he did not dodge fast enough. Weapon was a large sized crossbow.
Has a nice butt per comment of of Skyring as Shadestep was carrying the drunken lad to his den to let him sleep and sober up. Thread link
Height/Build: Lean muscle and strong though not lanky, sturdy body build. At the tall side for a Wolfrider. 4'2 because of his father being tall
Bonded animal: No bond at present time
Tasseltail (Not born yet)
Female
Personality: Curious adores SS and his boots (Tends to nab them if he is not watching) She is actually very well behaved and is one of his more close bonds as his Wolf friends go. He wonders if it is because he bonded with her while she was still a cub.
Shawl, female wolf, DECEASED as of sometime during the mid warp
Personality: Prankster to Shadestep, feisty and hardheaded, but loyal. She and he bonded out of need of survival, they don't see much of each other around the Holt as they are both independent.
