Physical Description
Rhys is around 5’10, with a slim but muscular stature. He has long black hair and his eyes are a striking greenish-gray. His leveling gaze unsettles people, so he never really had many personal relationships. He maintains a neat mustache/goatee combo, but something about his appearance always seems a little lazy.
Personality
Even though he has a piercing gaze, he’s actually a very amiable person, and enjoys meeting new people. He treats everyone with kindness and respect, unless they pose a threat or they’re an asshole.
Quirks
Rhys has a habit of chewing on things, whether it’s a twig, piece of grass, his pipe, or gnawing on his nails and cuticles, he always has to have something between his teeth. When ever he’s thinking hard about something, he runs his hands through his hair.

Relationship with Companion
Rhys met Kane when he was a week on the run. He was fifteen and had been travelling in the Grassland of the Prairies, Jester by his side. The tall grass that they waded through made it slightly easier to hide then when they were in the savannas and it put Rhys more at ease. The feeling ended when Jester stopped suddenly and crouched, his face in a silent snarl, his eyes pointed to the right. Rhys waited until the tall figure came into sight before pulling his knife out and leaping on him. Though the kid was taller, Rhys had more bulk and a lower center of gravity easily pinning him to the ground. Just before he went to bring the knife down, he made eye contact with the terrified guy and a flood of information seized him, (he wasn't as good at controlling how fast the information came to him), but the main thing that stood out in his head was the word Warg. Before Rhys had any chance to retreat the kid had turned the tables and held him pinned. Before the boy attacked him they both turned to see Jester sitting patiently on his haunches, Via perched calmly on his head. The animals had figured out their similarities before they had. Kane then had the same realization Rhys had. Since then, they decided to travel together, deciding that two was better than one.
Rhys has a tendency to treat Kane like his little brother at times, but holds only the highest respect for him. He respects him not only his Warging and fighting abilities, but also his personality and kindness. People tend to think Kane is older, only because Rhys is shorter than he is, and it's really the only thing that he gets ticked off about in their travels. Other than that, they've grown close over their years of travelling together, creating a strong partnership that has saved their lives more than once.
Talents
Other than his general warging ability, Rhys has Intuitive Aptitude. This means that he can instantly learn and understand the complexity and exactness of organisms, objects, and personal information of a person simply by looking at the object or making eye contact with the human or animal. This ability has made him an impressive healer, because of his knowledge of the human body and it’s inner workings, and his abilities to create remedies from the natural surroundings.
Animal Companion
A spotted Hyena named Jester.
