Name: Ruelash (Rue-eh-Lash)
Race: Ice Tribe
Gender: Male
Base Traits:
Violent: Ruelash has violent, angry urges that he has trouble controlling. For now, he has put them to good use for his tribe's safety, but some wonder- and not in the good way- about what would happen if he became bored...
Bitter: Ruelash blames his problems and failings on external sources. He is never at fault; the world is! He never really takes responsibility for his issues or the consequences of his actions, aside from the act itself.
Chivalrous: If Ruelash has a soft spot in his angry turbulent soul, it is for women. The normally ornery male is respectful and polite to women, or attempts to be, going out of his way (to an extent) to provide small services (such as a blanket or a hand up), and pulling his punches if he should get into a fight with one. How he will react to the Alkidike is yet to be determined.
Class: Swordsman → Assasin
Personality:
Ruelash is a bitter, angry, violent young man. There doesn't seem to be any reason for his attitude: he has been this way since he was little, so you can't blame it on hormones, and he has a good family, so you can't blame it on them either. He can and does. He blames any problem he has on others, at least to himself.
Either way, his violent urges remain. When he was little, he used to hit other children and otherwise play rough. Seeing this, his parents and the elders tried to channel his anger into something benefiting the tribe, usually things such as scouting or checking a hunter's traps: things that get him away from the tribe.
As long as he's pointed in a direction, he is fairly livable to be around. This is in part because, on these missions, he has found that he likes to be away from his tribe in the middle of nowhere. Though he does return home, it is the main reason why he takes the tasks from his elders willingly and doesn't just act violently at being told what to do. That and he enjoys the fear of him that they show in keeping him busy. He knows that they fear him, and he almost enjoys how they try to control him. He is humoring them, for now.
He definitely doesn't take sitting still very well, and has a poor attention span when he isn't at least pacing. He likes to be active and doing something, preferably something violent: A fight would be the best. But if he cant do that, then at least moving around and doing something will keep him from starting something out of boredom.
In summary, Ruelash is kind of a vicious jackass.
He does, however, have a soft side towards women, bordering on the (slightly terrifying yet) charming. Violence and injustice with regards to women enrages him on a deep and primal level. He pulls his punches in duels against them, and, outside of a duel, would not willingly harm a woman.
Although he professes himself to hate interacting with other earthlings, he appears to do so in a very strength oriented way. If you can get past his uncouth orneryness and avoid getting challenged to a duel long enough, he might even say something insightful.
Further note: Definitely narcissistic. Highly self centered.

History:
When Ruelash was little, he was a violent, tempermental child, lashing out at others and playing very rough with his peers. The elders decided to send him out on various missions where he could put his violent tendancies to good use, and hopefully ingrain in him the meaning of responsibility and, perhaps, mellow him a bit.
Its been a mixed success: he takes the missions willingly, but has no regard to the consequences of those missions. He just wants to get out there, do something, and hit stuff.
Early on, he was often assigned to assist his brother, a scout, which he took to with gusto as his brother was one of the few people he respected enough for 'like' to apply. Unfortunately in a stroke of bad luck, his brother took a fatal fall down a ravine. It was no fault of Ruelash and he knows it. But the village, knowing his tendencies, blamed him for the death, going so far as to spread rumors of murder. No evidence was found and his explanation was plausable, but it shook him up to no end and fueled his constant anger into a smouldering rage. After all, he hadn't done in his brother. And when he did kill someone, he knows that he would make sure they all knew.
Connections:
Father (Travelling): Ruelash's father, like his brother, is a scout and is often abroad, making sure the known paths through the wastes are clear, safe, and current. He's rarely home, but when he is he is a fairly amicable guy. He loves to play with his grandchildren. Ruelash is neutral towards him.
Mother (Deceased): His mother was a hunter, and very protective of him. She died of illness when he was young, maybe 6 or so. no matter what he did or didn't do, no matter what he was blamed for, she still found the time to give him a hug and a kiss. She is, perhaps, one of the root causes of his more pleasant attitude to women.
A sister: His sister is a sweet young woman. She is afraid of her brother- no so much what he could do to her personally, but mainly what he is capable of doing to others. She feels it is up to her to hold him back.
Veshki - brother (deceased): The only male Earthling that Lash could be said to have liked and respected. He looked up to his brother, but when veshki died the 'weak' way he did, lash felt betrayed somewhat.
Ranla – Sister-in-law: Ranla was Veshki's wife. She dislikes Ruelash intensely and tries to keep him away from her children... which is difficult when her daughters actively seek him out. She feels that he is responsible for her husbands death and remains convinced that he is a murderer.
Niece 1:
a very energetic lass, this niece thinks her uncle is the greatest. She loves talking his ear off. Its annoying but not so much so that he would hit her... yet.
Niece 2:
This niece is quiet and sweet. She, like her older sister, thinks her uncle is a good man deep down. She is a good cook and likes to bring him food and bandage up his wounds. It makes her feel warm and fuzzy and gives her a spring in her step.
Nephew: a mere infant. Neither knows what to think of the other and, if Ranla has her way, neither will really meet.
