WHAT IS AN ESKARIO?
An Eskario is a nature spirit, literally tied to the land it is born in. There are three types, or tribes, of Eskarios- forest, water, and mountain. The three tribes work together to preserve their corner of the world, untainted by humans. From the moment they are born, Eskarios are trained to develop their spiritual connections to the earth and the unique abilities that stem from it.

{{ i decided to do a sort-of history, hope that counts. }}
Ezra was born a normal Eskario, into a relatively small family. He didn't seem to have any particular talents or interests. In fact, he was a bit lazy, though rather easygoing with others his age.
When he was still young, he was taken along on a small hunting trip with his parents. During the trip, he turned away from his parents for one second and came face to face with a snake nearly twice his size. It had sharp, vicious fangs and a high, whistling hiss.
Running to pull their son away from the disturbingly large creature, Ezra's parents called for the rest of the hunters to help, but Ezra wasn't scared. He was shocked, yes, but inside of him there was a deep calm. Wrestling away from his parents' grip, he placed a paw on the snake's flat, smooth head. Ezra closed his eyes and breathed in, his markings beginning to glow.
The snake suddenly backed down, not attacking the young Eskario. The onlookers were so surprised be this that they didn't make a mve to help, only watched as the glow from Ezra's face faded away and he slumped, unconscious, onto the snake. Never having used so much of his life force at one time, he had overexerted himself.
Immediately, as if breaking out of a trance, the rest of the hunters ran forward, determined to rescue the young Eskario from the frightening snake, but she hissed at them and protectively curled around Ezra. Reinforcements arrived from the rest of the group, but as a whole they were still too afraid to attack. They knew that one wrong move could get Ezra killed.
Camping out near the snake, Ezra's parents resolved to keep watch in case there was a chance to rescue him. The rest of the group, too tired to do anything more that day, headed home.
The next morning, however, Ezra woke up as if the previous day had been perfectly normal. He found that he was being half-carried, half-dragged by the snake. It deposited him neatly in front of Ezra's family's den and began to slither away. Ezra ran after it. "Don't go," he said, though he couldn't explain why.
And from then on, Ezra's best friend was a female snake whom he named Eliza. There was an odd bond between him, and although Eliza didn't particularly care for Ezra's family, he grew to be quite good at calming her without using his life force. The two supported each other, and Ezra truly did care for the snake, refusing to give her up. They were inseparable..

Hi there. I'm Serval at Soul, but feel free to call
me Soul or Serval.
name;;
This lovely Eskario's name would be Fir,
based on the colours of his pelt and mane.
gender;;
Fir is a boy Eskario. His design just screams masculine
to me.
story;;
Fir could feel the sharp pines of the pine tree digging into
his pelt, piercing the skin. He gasped, ragged breaths wheezing
from his lungs. Is the cougar gone?
