Hey everybody, working to get my character, Mide Hotgo, out to the RP community to start establishing SOMETHING with him. Basically looking for any contacts who might be interested with his character type. Some information I've got so far (still working on some other small bits with him)
Mide was born to the Hotgo clan of Au Ra nomads and grew up embracing the traditions of his clan. He was well-liked within his clan, proving himself proficient in hunting and gathering early in his adolescence. His true passion was smithing, however, and he created a mobile furnace and smithy that could be moved with the migration of the clan. His skills were greatly appreciated by the clan warriors, and Mide was respected for his earnest desire to protect others with his weapons. In order to ensure none of his creations would fail his clan, Mide would test the weapons himself, often putting himself in great danger in the process. This caused him to become proficient with most martial weapons and developed Mide into a very competent warrior.
When Mide came of age, he was surprised by one of the female clan warriors, Ile Hotgo. Impressed by his skills, his dedication to the clan, and being very straight-forward herself, Ile proposed to Mide. Flattered by her attention and prowess, Mide accepted Ile as his mate and strove to give his all to both her and the his clan. They enjoyed many years of life together, and sought to expand their family once their siblings no longer required their attention.
Unfortunately, their plans would not be. Without warning, the Hotgo were attacked viciously and massacred. During the chaos, Mide fought with the clan warriors to try and repel the Dotharl, but was wounded during the fighting. Before the final blow was struck, Mide was shielded by Ile, who lost her life defending him. With her dying wish being that he flee and live, Mide broke. Looking around at the battle raging around him, Mide ran, knowing that his clan was doomed. After many hours of running, he fell to the ground, breathless. Without a home to return to, he silently formed within himself a unbending will to survive for the memory of his love and clan, and nurtured a silent, seething rage against the fate he was bound to and the Dotharl. When he stood, Mide had changed. Following the customs of his tribe, he created and applied a black paint to his face, marking both his desire to avenge the ones he lost and the intense shame he felt that he was powerless. With this mark, he wandered aimlessly into the world, his only clear intention being survival.

Here's what I have so far for him. As I said before, anyone who would be interested in RPing or has any suggestions for character expansion, etc are welcome! I welcome any feedback, since it's been awhile for me. Cheers!
