Name:
Monic

Gender: Male

Age:
19

Birthday:
April 20th

Race:
Taguel

Appearance:
Monic is a tall and lean warrior, he's powerful and well-built. However, he is rather agile and depends on speed and dexterousness rather than strength. He has the same, healthy darker complexion as most of his species. He has broad, strong shoulders and long, powerful legs. His neck, shoulders and wrists have dark brown fur on them, with a circular white patch on his shoulders. He does have a tail, typical to the Taguel as well. His beast form is a large taguel, with the same harness-like armor with the exception of it being red in color. He has scarring on his back, partially, as well as on his hind legs. Most of his scars are from the taguel massacre.

He has an angular and hatchet-shaped face, with a curved nose and often narrowed, stormy blue eyes uncommon to his species. He has darker brown hair parted in the middle of his forehead. Although silky, his hair is wavy in texture, and it ends at the base of his neck. Some strands are usually out of place as well, giving him a wilder look. His pale beige ears extend down to his chest, being slightly longer than his hair. Parts of his ears do have scarring, appearing as though they were singed.

Monic mostly wears the typical taguel armor, nothing more, nothing less. It's ornately styled, with the front plate in a heart shape, which he gets teased for often. It is blue is color as well.

Personality:
Monic is a stubborn young taguel. He does not accept help or give into others easily. He had remained away from humanity, and does not embrace any of their customs or traditions. Because he's been so isolated, he doesn't like the idea of adopting their culture. Thus, many can tend to view him as odd. He does not trust them easily, and is still bitter over the death of his warren. He is rather cunning and alert, despite his hot temper. There isn't a detail that goes unnoticed in his surroundings. He's rather intellectual in the way that he learns lessons very quickly. Of course, Monic is very headstrong and often rushes into conflict or combat without giving it a second thought. He stands up for what he believes is right. Monic may also be rather outspoken, and give his opinion where it isn't exactly necessary. He has a habit of wording his thoughts in a way that may seem insulting to others. He apologizes immediately afterwards. He tries to make amends however he can, especially if he's close to the person that he managed to offend. He tends to treasure his friendships more than anything. Still, he can tend to blurt out his thoughts before thinking them through.

However stubborn and hotheaded he may appear, Monic is rather intelligent when he wants to be. Memorizing facts comes easily to him, and he has an expertise on herbal knowledge. Impatient as he may be, he mostly knows what lines to not cross during a conversation. But since he has a habit of unintentionally insulting others, he can tend to cross these lines more often than he intends to. Monic also has a habit of worrying about those close to him, and he'll never turn away a friend in need. When he does make friends, he is as kind as possible to them. There aren't many people that he actually likes, and he can be viewed as antisocial due to this. He's always very gentle with his friends as well. He hesitates often, even when attempting to interact with someone that he cares for. When he does get around to talking with them, it seems to come naturally to him. He acts very lax around those he has affections for, which surprises the many who know him as brutal and high strung. He's a bit rough around the edges, but he attempts to overcome his issues when talking with others that he likes. He is rather cautious around people, however, not really liking the human species.

There is not a playful bone in his body. While he's good at detecting sarcasm, playful jests often go overlooked. He's definitely the type of taguel that needs to learn how to loosen up. He can be playful, but it'll never happen around strangers. When he jests with someone, they should know that they're a very close friend to him. He also very disorganized and isn't good at keeping a strict schedule. He feels orderliness to be a hassle, unless it's absolutely necessary. He also isn't very self-confident. Insecurity plagues Monic indefinitely, and he still wishes that he could have done something about his warren. He's still traumatized over losing them all, and at times he does have nightmares about the past. He believes that although he's physically powerful, he lacks the ability to change things in Ylisse. He hates the idea that he cannot change the state of affairs in Ylisse. He hates the conflict and the endless fighting that has been happening on the continent. Despite his stubborn and hotheaded attitude, he only wishes for tranquility and peace in the world. He hates to see innocents suffering, even if they're humans, because it reminds him of what happened to his warren.

History:
Monic clearly recalls his life in the warren. He remembers having a large and happy family. His mother and father were both incredibly kind, but he would always be getting into some sort of mischief on his own, as his two older sisters were about six years older than he was. His sisters were all rather disinterested in him at first. But he never really got the chance to know them, and they never got the chance to get to know him, either. It was at the age of six, that his most treasured memories end. His warren was brutally slaughtered by man-spawn. The flames burning away at their warren is something he recalls quite clearly. His mother forced him to flee, after being trapped underneath a fallen part of their roof, and he ran without looking back. Although there was nothing he could have done, feelings of helplessness and worthless circulated within his mind. From then on, he began stealing his necessities, and hunting food down.

For awhile, he inhabited an abandoned shack just about on the border between Plegia and Ylisse. He found that it was a useful location, due to both Ylissean and Plegian forces being so close by to it. He robbed bandits' camps as they crossed over into Ylisse. And he could also steal some food from neighboring Ylissean towns as well. For a majority of the time, he was in his beast form. As he grew, he snatched spare clothes and pieces of armor from merchants and bandits alike. He never felt remotely sorry, but he did regret it as he grew older. At the time, he didn't regret it because of his grudge against humanity for what they had done to his warren. In his mind, they had destroyed his family. He inwardly wanted to do anything he really could in order to sabotage them. He was alone for most of his life afterwards, rarely speaking with anyone. There was really no one to speak with in his abandoned shed. Yet, his little shed was becoming noticed by Plegian bandits, and at the age of fourteen, he decided to travel and search for fellow taguel survivors.

He took a cloak and transformed back into human form for most of his journey. Traveling around was unlike anything he had previously expected. The many sights, scents and sounds of human settlements and cities were rapid fire and at times overwhelming. The sheer amount of people amassed in one place was absolutely incredible. He had never really expected to see such activity. He traveled through marketplaces, but would often end up just stealing food and fleeing from one town to the next. It soon became apparent that there were no other taguel survivors to be seen. Having absolutely no money to his name in the human world was incredibly difficult. So, he opted to get out of there. He journeyed back across the country, utterly disappointed with his findings. At age seventeen, he sneaked onto a settled down nearby a peaceful farming town, where he still resides today.

Class:
Taguel

Weapon Rank:
--
Strengths:
 Monic is actually incredibly intelligent. He's a faster learner than most people and he has an adept intellect. He's also incredibly cunning as well. He can figure out quick solutions to massive problems, and may also find loopholes rather quickly as well. His quickly-moving mind makes him rather adaptable to many, if not all situations, and he's quick to pick up facts about new surroundings by simply just observing them. Monic is actually quite courageous, and will really do anything he can to help out the side he's on, even if that entails listening to commands. He can choke down whatever grudge he has in order to help everyone, most of the time. Still, he's rather determined in just about everything he does. He's hard-working and never really slacks off, whether he's helping around camp or if someone has asked a favor of him.

Monic can also be rather generous as well. He will give up apart of his meal if others have gone hungry or missed a meal. He isn't about to let anyone go anywhere if it's cold without a jacket, so he'll lend them his cloak too. Monic is also able to fill in on cooking duty for someone if they ask him to as a favor, or if they're sick or anything really. He's thoroughly generous, but he doesn't exactly want to let others see that because he constantly wants to keep up his tough guy image.

Weaknesses
: Monic is incredibly stubborn. He dislikes receiving help from others, and he often likes doing things his own way rather than going according to someone else's plan. He has a deep resentment for others attempting to assist him, because he feels weak whenever he receives help from other people. Alongside being thoroughly stubborn, Monic is also rather hot-tempered. He has little that holds him back from attacking others once they've provoked him, and he has a habit of getting provoked easily. Monic is disorganized, resulting in forgetfulness. He can sometimes unintentionally forget about his responsibilities as well. His tent is disorganized, and he often loses objects which only serves to make him even more frustrated than he was originally. He also doesn't like spending time on organization, believing it to be kind of a waste when he could be doing other things.

Monic also has a dislike for humanity. They stole away his family and his warren, and he fully dislikes them for it. But he chooses to accuse humanity as a whole rather than accepting the fact that there can be good humans as well as bad ones. He feels partially guilty for the fact that he was unable to do anything for is warren but run away, so he casts the blame of it all on the humans as well, thoroughly believing them to be a flawed species. His beliefs will most likely change when he's introduced to the Shepherds, however. Also, Monic can be rather fretful about his allies. He has a habit of worrying too much, because he's still insecure and thinking too much about the loss of his warren in the past. He never wants to lose anyone close to him ever, ever again.
