Name: Eztli Necalli
Alias: N/A
Picture:
Description: Eztli is tall and built like a battering ram. With strong muscles under taught skin Eztli is at first glance an imposing figure that could crush your skull in a heart beat... until you see the ears and tail that is. He goes from intimidating to adorable in a split second once you lay your eyes on the feline ears and tail, the black spotted pattern on otherwise orange fur giving away his Jaguar side. Pointing these features out will pull forth a snarl fierce enough to make an orc take a step back.
His features look almost chiseled with high, prominent cheekbones, straight nose, thin lips and slightly deep set eyes which are light brown in colour. His hair which is cropped short, despite his dislike for his ears, is black in colour and generally fairly unkempt. His complexion is relatively pale with a light tan. His clothes are casual, leather tunic and pants with leather arm braces and shin braces along with some steel inlaid shoulder braces.
In his animal form Eztli is sleek and powerful, a beast to be reckoned with. He looks like the average Jaguar, with his main identifier being the disgruntled look on his face or the chunk that's missing from his right ear.

Strengths:
~Hand-to-hand Combat: As a brawler and a Jumentai, Eztli as the upper hand in most physical confrontations, able to knock a human out with a single punch.
~Senses: Thanks to his animalistic side, Eztli has keen senses which allow him to detect the presence of others long before they detect his.
~Loyalty: Eztli has a strong sense of loyalty and will stick by those who have earned it until they give him reason to doubt his decision.
~Protective Instinct: One wouldn't think of this when they first lay eyes on Eztli, but he has a strong protective streak when it comes to those he deems weaker than himself. He believes that as a stronger person it is his job to help keep those who are weaker safe from harm.
Weaknesses:
~Tactics: The words meaning are a foreign concept to him. His main strategy being: Detect them first, then charge.
~Self-image: There's something about his fluffy ears and tail that rub Eztli the wrong way. Don't get him wrong, being able to turn into a Jaguar is complete kick ass! But... his racial indicators make him feel like some kind of teddy bear. He is known to lose his temper at the drop of a hat should somebody point them out.
~Communication: With his native tongue needing no words and a simple glance can be a whole sentence Eztli sometimes finds it hard to communicate with other races and is often frustrated when they don't pick up on the way his ears sit or the vocal sound he makes, despite knowing it means nothing to them.
~Dogs: Well... canines in general actually. Thanks to his feline status Eztli has found that he can't stand dogs. Period. He will go out of his way to avoid them and is often found hissing at them if forced to confront one, becoming edgy and uneasy... not exactly the coolest thing to do when trying to impress a woman.
Personality: Eztli's a pretty straight forward kind of guy, someone whose emotions are basically written on his forehead... if you know what you're looking for. He isn't used to having to restrain his frustration or anger, having it picked up on long before it manifests itself into actions or words where he comes from and having the target of his anger 'talk' it out with him. Though among other races he could be considered quite brutish as his anger usually builds up until he's shouting in a persons face about what pisses him off, or shoving/punching/throwing them to show his distaste. Despite this, when calm, Eztli can be pleasant company to be around. He's quick with a joke and will keep the conversational ball rolling to avoid awkward silences and generally fairly kind and caring.
His communicative skills are lacking though and he often uses his native tongue to express emotions and if comfortable around someone may slip into the language entirely, forgetting that the person he's talking to has no clue what he's doing, let along what he's trying to say. This way of communication is deeply ingrained in Eztli and a major part of his day-to-day life. Luckily for him, purring and hissing are fairly obvious indicators and most people pick up on it, even if they have no idea what the rest of his body language states.
He is a naturally physical person, taking everything head on without so much as a second thought to the consequences, believing planning is for the weak and unsure. He also finds it amusing that people will use weapons instead of their bare hands, finding amusing (to him at least) insults to try and belittle them for relying on metal rather than their own strength to take down their enemies.
Eztli believes though that this strength also comes with a responsibility to protect those that are weaker than himself. Those who don't wield weaponry and are physically inferior to himself. This self-given title of protector manifests itself in impromptu acts of kindness and protection and has made him pursue a job as mercenary that specializes in escorts.

~ A water canteen
~ Changes of clothes
~ Money pouch
~ Food rations

Biography: Eztli was born on the 34th of June 313 CE to Cipatcli and Matlel Necalli in the town of Chulak. He was an adventurous child, always running around the town and the surrounding woods, tracking frogs and lizards and watching them with bright, curious eyes. When he was little he loved being called adorable by those around them, his ears and tail being his favourite part of himself, they brought him attention from his parents. His father had been a Black Caiman while his mother had been Ocelot, apparently Eztli had gotten his gene from his grandfather on his mother's side. This of course had made Eztli the old man's favourite grandson and often favoured him, giving him presents and all round spoiling the young child.
When he turned forth Eztli became the older brother to twin girls, Itzel, an Anaconda like her grandmother on her father's side and Yaotl, a Black Caiman like her father. At first Eztli was beyond happy to be an older brother, walking about proudly with his younger sisters as they learned to walk, exploring the town with them and showing them his favourite spots to explore. As they older though his reptilian sisters were often seen as being tougher than he was by others his age due to their animal counterparts. While they had scales he had fur. While he was a child though, this didn't bother him as he enjoyed how his parents would say that he was their little furball.
When he became a teenager all this changed though. Due to his reputation as a little adorable cat when he was younger the belief that his sisters were stronger and more formidable than him started to get to him more and more. The nicknames he'd loved as a kid started to make him angry and his close relationship with his sisters became strained. He was often mocked for being the only non-reptile among the three and by the age of thirteen began getting into fights to prove that he was stronger than them. He trained himself relentlessly and was often scolded by his parents for coming home with black eyes and cuts and bruises. It was at age sixteen that he was finally able to prove his strength when one of Eztli's most frequent taunters decided to pick a fight with Yaotl. Despite having becoming slightly estranged from the two from the years of being belittled he was the first person to step to her defense, knowing that despite her lineage his younger sister wasn't as physically strong as most Jumentai, following intellectual pursuits instead of physical ones.
After the confrontation he made it his personal duty to protect his sisters and others that weren't as strong. Over the next few years he made himself a reputation for being strong and slowly came to get used to his appearance though will still lash out against anyone to point his appearance out. When he turned 19 he decided to take this self-given title to a new level and began making a level escorting people and keeping them safe from bandits. He continued to build upon his reputation as someone not to be trifled with, making himself a healthy profit with which he was able to purchase a two bedroom home in Chulak at age 23, using the spare bedroom generally to house guests, most of which were from his own family.
Due to his violent reputation and imposing figure he finds it hard to women, but is currently happy with his life. He is currently traveling to a neighbouring Kingdom with a trading group as their body guard.
