Strike Swiftly

"I am the sailor: the world is my playground, and my ship is pure felicity
I am the sailor: the world is my playground, to roam where I like to be "

So you guys remember THIS derp? [link] Same guy. I KNOW RIIIIIGHT?

Tha'Karis Swiftstrike, oldest of the Swiftstrike kids, and true to his parents lineage probably more so than the rest of 'em. He's an earthy sort of fellow, who'd rather be out skinning a deer or gutting a fish in the pouring rain and mud and obscene heat than sitting inside, comfortable, and learnin' him a book. (Not to say he's not intelligent, or illiterate though. He's very much so both.) Hunter by trade and profession, sailor for the hell of it. (He solos a vessel named Henry... that literally has a mind of it's own.)

How does his hair keep such amazing volume, you ask?! Because he doesn't believe in brushes or something. Against his religion. That and haircuts. his hair is usually a tangled mess, and riddled with leaves and twigs and tangles, until his baby sister gets ahold of him. (Oddly, he bathes regularly, but doesn't use scented soaps, if he uses soap. Usually he just scrubs with leaves. Because "FOR SUN'S SAKE, EVEN ANIMALS BATHE! With their tongues. But there are some places I just can't reach...")

He's a rather happy sort of fellow, and talkative, and a jokester. ...and unfortunately.... brain damaged or something. Since the Scourge attack on Silvermoon years ago, he's recovered from a bout of amnesia (but still suffers selective amnesia about the event itself, which unfortunately results in quite a few night terrors) and his... attention span has.... decreased.... dramatically.

Also, that picture I linked? sums him up pretty damn well. 8|

Karis is pictured here with his trusty worg companion, Aragh (KUDOS TO YOU WHO GET THE REFERENCE). AIN'T THEY CUTE?!
