Tamale is a complex and cruel natured viscet. No one truly knows if he was simply born a monster or fated chance turned him into one. Regardless he is often seen as a cold-hearted villain, who thrives on his malicious intent. It's almost as though he carries with him blood lust along with his fits of hysteria and mania. Although he tends to steer clear of others, when he does find himself in a social environment he is quick to anger and even quicker to becoming physically aggressive. Often lashing out at anyone who so much as says hello. He goes through fits of rage even when no one is around, perhaps they are memories that plague him still. All that is truly known for certain is that other tend to steer very clear of him, for their own safety and for the safety of others. He doesn't travel in a pack, and has only traveled with at most one or two others since as far back as anyone really recalls. Regardless of his ill-tempered personality, he is still intelligent and crafty as well as physically powerful - making him a formidable foe in more than one way.

(story is written from a second hand account to better explain the character's development)“These are excerpts from a field journal. I’ve only included the entries that pertain to the current case. The field journal is property of one Dawn, General and pack leader. The field journal was obtained through proper channels after the General’s disappearance. I have included it in this folder to show the progression of the subject’s descent into violent behaviors. We should be working on a program to avoid further incidents. More data is needed, but I think with the information included as well as the information dug up through our investigation, that we should be able to learn how to predict the likelihood of each viscet to exhibit these types of behaviors as well as how best to avoid this type of outcome. I’ll include notes between the excerpts.” The recruits that came in today, with their temporary handlers, they can’t be much younger than me. Maybe by a year, but already I am tested. Been to hell and back, seen things that would make these new recruits wet themselves. I was the youngest until today, but I am the leader of the pack. Only commands I take are from that of my handlers, and even they don’t tell me more than the basics of the missions, and when it’s too dangerous to stay somewhere. But these visclings, they don’t know what’s coming. Every one of them will believe them better than me, want to take my position at the top, especially the males. None of them could lead as well as me, I can’t let them see weakness, I have to lead them. Keep them safe, help them make it to retirement age, if I can. Only I can do this job, and do it right.
Back to the recruits… there is a particular male, his bright red pelt automatically draws one’s eye to him. I’ll have to keep an eye out for him. I hope he’s a hell of a fighter, because his pelt will make him a target. I hope he’s not as haughty as his color would suggest, because if so he’ll be a handful. Already I can tell he won’t be as much of a handful as the eldest of the new recruits. He’s probably my age, I would venture to say. Blues and whites, something else that sticks out. But him, he’s definitely haughty. Only time will tell who of these recruits will make it.
“Nothing much of note, simply that Dawn noticed him in the crowd. I am continuing to comb the entries for real information at this time.”Continue Reading Here{6000+ words}

Soldiers / Relationships / Comrades;click "names" of comrades to see their armor.{collaboratively written by me and Strudel | art by Strudel | Combat armor inspired by "armor" pictured on this viscet}Ra'HeidraRa’Heidra is one of the “senior” soldiers in the viscet ranks, and is below rank in Tamale by the time the viscets are released from combat. Tamale looks up to Ra’Heidra and respects him. He’s the one that tells Tamale that Dawn isn’t as harsh as she at seems. He is strong, and capable.
Ra’Heidra is owned by *Shiveren*PanPan was recruited a little before Dawn, but sometime after Ra’Heidra. She is strong, and wise. She has combat experience outside of the war efforts. She teaches Tamale a very important lesson, that would always stick with him-- that in war it doesn’t matter how hard you fight or how badly you want to win, you just might not. Tamale carries this lesson for the rest of his life, even when he is changed.
Pan is owned by funderful;;TakasugiTakasugi is another viscet of higher rank. He, with Dawn’s urging, keeps an eye on Tamale though out Tamale’s military career. Takasugi is the only viscet that carries a weapon, and Tamale always thought he was a little odd for it, seeing as it really inhibited his fighting style, or at least that was the way Tamale viewed it, since Tamale fought in a completely different style-- the way that Dawn taught him.
Takasugi is owned by VesinirRiptideRiptide was recruited at the same time that Tamale was, and finished his training early, just a little while after Tamale. He looks up to Tamale, and tries to follow his lead on the battle field whenever possible. It hurts him when Tamale is left on the battle field, not that he would admit that. He is a little cocky, moreso than Tamale is, and they sparred and trained together when they weren’t doing so separately.
Riptide is owned by StrudelZxunreZxunre is another recruit that joined around the same time as Riptide and Tamale. He is usually quiet and reserved, but as a stubborn viscet he didn’t always see eye to eye with Tamale. They got into a few scuffles when it came to opposing opinions, and generally those scuffles were caused by Tamale.
Zxunre is owned by HowlingtothestarsXuikchoWhile Xuikcho doesn’t like fighting, she makes a great soldier. Maybe it is her dislike for humans, or her sense of loyalty, or maybe it’s her confidence. Either way, she fights along side Tamale with grace and power. Xuikcho is another viscet that Tamale respects, and one that is also fairly young as well. Tamale can probably credit his life to Xuikcho at least once or twice, though it probably goes both ways.
Xuikcho is owned by HowlingtothestarsCeruleanCerulean is a little harsh, and strong. He’s responsible, and another senior solider. He is certainly harsh on Tamale, but not to be cruel. He does it because he thinks it’s what Tamale needs. He becomes the general for a couple of days after the events that displace both Tamale and Dawn from rank. He was supposed to be a witness to Tamale’s execution, but instead he becomes a witness to Tamale’s final descent into madness.
Cerulean is owned by Marki-MooAll viscets belong to their mentioned owners, and were used with permission.
A big thanks to everyone who helped me in this form. Whether it was just allowing me to use one of your viscets, or aiding me in doing art. I greatly appreciate all you've done to help me out with all of this. Seriously, win or lose I can't thank you enough.
Thanks so much you guys <3
