Name: Gamor

Counterpart Monster: Harpy

Appearance: Like most of his fellows in his past village, he wears a light, tan, leather vest over a shirt presumably woven from plant material. Over this vest, a shawl made of Bird Wyvern hide, with feathers still in; it resembles the Harpy's back design, and goes far down his back, ending in a single tail-like length of material stretching to his knees. Around his waist he wears a belt made from Machalite Ore and Great Jaggi bone, in addition to a strap of Kelbi leather; and over/around this belt, a towel-like piece of cloth is hung (think of TLOZ:TP's Link, before his new clothes); but this reaches only to his knees, and does not go all the way around. Finally, he wears a set of cottony pants, soft and breathable, and very water-resistant.

Backstory: He was born in Ultimiose, a member of the Swamp Tribe; he was a pampered child at the time, loved by the entire village, and very good for morale. When he was five, he went missing in the woods for a week; when he finally returned, it was an equally young Harpy carrying him in his beak. The Harpy protected him until some villagers came with soft, careful words; and then the Harpy (a very young female creature, of small stature but already developing mothering instinct) backed away, but would go no further than the outlying grasses a few yards away. As they carried him away, the Harpy followed; and so his parents took in the beast as the child's pet, and it has been with them ever since. The village saw many years of peace; however, three days before his tenth birthday, a horrible monster came; and it dealt destruction to his specific village, driving some of the people away. One of these families was Gamor's. They moved to Moga, specifically, to the town of Tanjia--the "town"-ish part of Tanzia Port, located within the few hills behind it.

Personality: He is--or was--a spoiled child, but has since changed; he has become very inward, and doesn't talk much. When he does, he's usually quite awkward and mean; most people won't have anything to do with him. Due to the events within his life--the Harpy, his village being reduced to rubble--he is considered the craziest of the Students, and is known for doing things that no others will do. He also likes to injure himself doing risky (and stupid) things; he's quite the masochist. However, he also has an extreme knowledge and love for the arts, and his skill in them is proved later, when he designs a beautiful hunting horn that has some of the best effects ever designed and used on a Hunting Horn. Some say he's rude and impolite; but in truth, he is kind, if you allow yourself the time and effort to get close to him. Finally, his trust issues are another reason he has trouble getting friends.
