LOOKS: Elborus is rather thin and slabsided, but wiry and well muscled. Usually he stands in a distance from others calm and relaxed, his eyes half-closed showing utter indifference with a bit of contempt. Only his ears move quikly back-forward, catching any sound around, which can display his attentiveness. Elborus is always alert and ready to fight, he moves swiftly and subtly.
Personality
Alignment - chaotic neutral. Basicly he is a schizoid misanthrope.
DISTRUSTFUL: Elborus is always obsessively wary of everyone and everything. He knows quite good that the world around is a hostile environment, where are too many dangers and enemies to trust anyone. Checks twice (or more) before doing anything and always has a way to retreat, thats how he usually acts.
BRAVE: Despite being wary and cautious, Elborus is not paranoid, cause in fact he's brave enough to face the problems. Though he tries to avoid troubles and difficulties, he is never afraid of a fight.
CUNNING: Elborus can lie and feign to achieve his goals. Tell lies and give false information to confuse others or retreat and run away to lure the enemy into a trap thats what he can do easily. However he isn't good at manipulating with emotions, he's a bad actor in this way. For example, it's hard for him to simulate illness or to pretend to like something he really doesn't.
SELF-CONFIDENT: He is young, dexterous and intelligent, this alows Elborus to be confident in himself, sometimes even too confident. Also he was brought up to be proud and think he's better than others.
INSENSIBLE: Feelings and emotions are not helping to survive, that's what he thinks. He doesn't allow them to make him loose his mind.
RUTHLESS: Humanity and moral mean little to him. Elborus can easily abuse and humiliate others and there's no need to hide that he takes some pleasure watching his enemies writhe in pain.
AFFECTIONATE: Despite all, deep inside Elborus is craving for close relations. At the same time this is what he is afraid of most. He forbade himself to think about it, he closed his heart for any feelings and persuaded himself that life is better without them. He became self-contained and maybe a bit crazy, but in the end all his behaviour is aimed to protect whats left of his sensible soul. Even if he doesn't realize it, Elborus is testing others really strictly to find the ones he can trust and become close to. Cause if someone he trusted, betrayed him, it would be deathlike for him.
History
Elborus was born in the Fikr tribe from both Fikr parents and was brought up there. His parents gave him education, they taught him as much as they could. And of course, he had a loving family and some friends in the tribe and although some minor arguments did happen, it was a happy childhood.
The troubles began when he got older. Sooner or later all young horses uncovered their special abilities and began to train and develop them. But not Elborus. At first, he didn't pay much attention to this, he thought it was just a matter of time and he would get these powers later. He concentrated on physical training: galopped on short and long distances, jumped over the obstacles higher and higher, learned to fight. But when all fellows of his age and also those who were younger had already started to use magic and he still couldn't use any, Elborus understood that something was wrong. To that time the other youngsters started to tease and bully him and although he could stand for himself, he knew what fate would await him wether he didn't develop those special Fikr powers.
So he started to explore the world around, collecting knowledge that could help him to become like others. He learned to notice the body language and voice intonations, which helped him to read minds, of course, not so good as magic users could, but well enough to pretend he had some abilities. Also Elborus became very secretive and self-contained, he avoided other tribe members spending most of the time away from the camp. Doing so allowed him to stay in the tribe for a couple more years, but in the end it became clear for everyone, that he's not one of them. The chief demanded him to leave, his own parents turned away from him. And although the tribe exiled him quite diplomatically without doing any harm to him, it was just so embarassing and humiliating. Elborus felt lost and broken, betrayed and abandoned by his own friends and family, by the ones he loved. And also he felt hatred to that tribe he had to leave, to that laws, to all that special powers.
So he wandered away all alone, lost in his thoughts of the worlds injustice, not noticing anything around him. Until he walked into a Tabily horse, who was patrolling the territory. Elborus looked over the enemy: it was a young mare, a warrior, probably on her first patrol, because despite her height and strong constitution, she looked unconfident. "That's gonna be a nice fight." - thought Elborus - "At least fighting can make me forget my dreary thoughts for a while. If I start to loose, I can always run away, such a heavy builded warrior can never catch me. And if I win, that'll be so inspiring." So he provoked the Tabily mare to charge him, then easily dodged her attack and striked back hitting her hindleg, trying to put her out of balance. That worked and Elborus reared to push the foe to the ground, when suddenly the soil beneath his hoofs trembled and moment later it was he himself who was lying on the ground. Another Tabily warrior stood above him. This one was older bigger and much stronger and controlled the earth element skillfully. The warrior lifted his leg aiming for Elborus head, his hoof was huge and heavy enough to crack it in one step. Instinctively Elborus twitched aside, the hit smashed his nose bridge instead of his forehead. Shocked with pain he rolled over, quikly rose and ran away as fast as he could. Gasping and suffocating, seing almost nothing and almost passing out, with his legs sprained he reached the Emichi territory.
The Emichi accepted him, after all this tribe consisted of those born without powers like himself. The healers even offered some aid to help him, but Elborus didn't let them touch him. He didn't like this tribe at all, partially because he was brought up to look down at the Emichi and partially beacause mostly they were crazy voodoo freaks. Anyway in a couple of months his injuries almost healed and he got to do some job for the tribe. He could have become a good warrior, but this would mean he'd be responsible for the others safety, would have to protect the tribe members, which wasn't something he wanted to do. So he took the scouts job, it allowed him to spend most of the time alone away from the tribe. And so that's how he lived the last years - training hard to be swift and strong to stand against horses with magical powers and growing hatred to them and to their laws.
