Appearance

Roan exalted at a very young age, and his looks still show it. He looks to be a boy of about 12 or 13 at most, roughly 4 feet tall, and with a slim build. His eyes are light blue, his hair is very light tan-blonde, and the fur on his large ears matches it, the ears about a half-foot long each. His tattoos are mostly covered by his clothes, but there are notable ones extending along the bridge of his nose and curved partially under his eyes. He tends to wear slightly overlarge clothes to keep the Southern sun from burning him, generally a simple pair of tan pants and a longsleeve blue traveling shirt, with lightweight shoes. He also wears a very particular floppy blue hat, big enough that he can hide his ears under it, and often does to keep them out of the sun or hidden from those he doesn't want to see it. He also wears his moonsilver yoyo as a necklace, and tends to keep it under his shirt most of the time.

Roan's warform doesn't change him in size much, besides slimming him out. He grows tan fur all over, and claws suited for burrowing on his hands and feet. He also has a long rodentlike tail as long as he is tall, and his legs are visibly longer than when he's human, clearly suited for running and leaping. He often walks slightly hunched over in his warform because of it, and often hops rather than walking. His ears also lengthen to close to two feet long, and his hair and fur on his ears turns whitish. He always takes his hat off and ties it behind his belt before changing. His shirt is loose enough to still be worn in his warform, and his legs simply lengthen out the bottoms of his pants legs.

Background

Roan was born in a small village of mortals in the Eastern forests, a village guarded by three Lunars who had taken it upon themselves to protect the village and the forest from the Fair Folk that felt like trying to screw things up in days past. The Fair Folk hadn't attacked in decades, but the Lunars had taken a liking to the Mortals there, from a mix of kindness and the fact that the mortals practically worshiped them and gave them a hell of a nice life.

But Roan's the protagonist of this narrative, so let's get back to the kid. From an early age he was a "green child" of sorts, loving all the animals and stuff in the forest. Even the ones that liked to eat people. Roan got hurt a few times from all this too, obviously, and often was rescued by the other villagers or the occasional Lunar. Until one day when he was about 12, when he decided to sneak off and venture far into the forests, where he ran into the most nasty thing that lived in the woods, a young Tyrant Lizard known to the villagers as "Tyrant-Of-Red-Woods". It was late, and the big reptile didn't feel like playing around with a noisy little kid walking up and petting it, so the big reptile ate said annoying little kid.

Roan was, for the first time in his life, a little scared. He'd been eaten whole by a giant dinosaur, and no one was going to save him this far out. Luckily, he heard a noise soon after that gave him some hope. The great dinosaur had gone back to sleep shortly after swallowing him, and somehow Roan managed to climb back out of his throat and leap out of his big mouth when he awoke the next morning. A rather comical chase scene ensued, but Tyrant-Of-Red-Woods eventually gave up on his snack. Luna clearly found Roan's adventure so daring that she exalted him on the spot, the little now-a-Lunar getting back to the village just in time to pass out from exhaustion with his head aglow.

When he came to, he was in the cave one of the three Lunars lived in, the one known as Big Brother. He was the closest to the villagers of the three, a Full Moon River Dragon totem known for his blue scales, and his ability to breathe fire. Roan's training began before he hardly even had had time to recover, Big Brother first teaching him how to change forms. Much to Big Brother's surprise, Roan had managed to attain his warform in a matter of days, and had tasted the Heart's Blood of three animals by the end of the week, one of them a panther that had been killing livestock in the village. Big Brother decided to put the kid to the test - he was to kill and obtain the Heart's Blood of the reason for his exalting, Tyrant-Of-Red-Woods.

The fight between the little Lunar and the great reptile was rather fast, as Roan tricked the Tyrant into eating a panther carcass poisoned with a massive amount of coral snake venom. Once the Tyrant was weakened, he sprung upon him, slaying the great lizard and tasting his Heart's Blood. Roan enjoyed this hunting that was in his blood now that he was a chosen of Luna, and decided that he had a calling in life, to be be the best shapeshifter there is. He loved animals, and he wanted to be able to change into every animal he liked most.

After returning to Big Brother with the Heart's Blood of the Tyrant in his body, he was congratulated for his skill. He was marked with his final tattoos telling of his adventures, and received three gifts personally from Big Brother - a hat made from cloth and his own blue scales, a hearthstone of the hunt, and a unique moonsilver weapon to match the young Lunar's creativity. He left the village and headed on, traveling towards the South and tasting the Heart's Blood of countless other creatures on his way, hoping to eventually see the whole world.
