He's a halfbreed, his father being a Midlander Hyur. His father was Ryanti's role model, considering that he was a war hero in the Immortal Flames, and always seemed to be away when he needed him most.
He loves his mother, but feels like he can't relate to her. Like he can't connect to her. He never liked the fact that he wasn't born a full blooded race. He never liked the fact that he had Miqo'te ears and a Miqo'te tail.
He has a fascination and a determination to be like his dad. He looks like his dad, except for the Miqo'te racial traits. But that gets to him. He got bullied when he was younger because of it.
Ryanti believes that all races are able to live with one another alright, but he also believes that all races behave differently, and think differently. That's why he believes they have such different cultures, that evolution is driving them to different places.
Ryanti feels like he can't completely relate to Hyur culture and mannerisms because of his Miqo'te side, and he believes that prevents him from embracing the culture he was raised around. Even though, from the outside looking in, he's extremely familiar with urban culture. He would never want to be with his Miqo'te 'origin' culture. He feels like he is a refined individual, and somebody whom believes in progress and technology and dreaming for the future. He does not like anything tribal.
He feels disgusted with himself for having that 'side of him' in his DNA. He feels polluted and impure because he's a half breed. He would of preferred being a pure blooded Miqo'te, or especially a pure blooded Hyur. A pure blooded anything. He's not, so it gets to him.
He's not so much disgusted with tribal Miqo'te as he is.. disappointed. He feels like their achievements pale compared to the deeds of men. That they are far behind. But he also wants to be proven wrong, so that he could feel better about that side of himself.
Hope that makes sense.
This is beautiful. Truly an interesting character.
K'haz grew up among his tribesmen but has been living in civilization for about...ten years I think? At first he thought it was ridiculous (like fountains. Do you know how much water that wastes!? And what is gold really? It's shiny yes, but you can't eat it. And what the hell is with this government? Someone just strand these idiots in the desert already!) But then he saw the tech, the advancement in medicine (he's a healer so that's a big thing for him), and other comforts (The twelve bless whoever invented chocolate.)
In short, he's become tamed. And he's not sure whether or not he hates himself for it.
