it is usually covered in a thick layer of dirt, mud, offal, blood or a mixture of all.While shifting, his appearance grows even more fearsome and wild, causing him to look more like a rabid, raging animal than a humanoid...While Rawhide is neither smart nor wise, he is incredibly intuitive and canny - traits that he owes wholly to his background.  Somehow, the shifter seems to know when a situation just ins't right and he generally reacts very dramatically to such situations.  While Rawhide hates injustice, he is not above taking an eye for an eye, should the situtaion call for it - about the only thing he hates more than injustice is slavery, which he deplores and about the only thing he hates more than slavery are gobliniods, which he attacks ON SIGHT, unless he is simply overwhelmingly outnumbered (and even then, sometimes, he just might anyway).Height, Weight, Age: 4 ft., 190 lbs., 23 years old.Region of Origin: DarguunLanguages: CommonBackground: In one way or another, Rawhide has always been a slave...  Born into bondage within the horrific goblinoid slave pits of Rhukaan Draal - his mother (who was raped and beaten daily as he grew up) was captured from Breland during the Last War.  She always told Rawhide that he was the child of shifter lords and that no matter what, if he should some day escape, he should go to the far off place called "the Reaches", claim his birthright, and then return to avenge her.  She made him promise, daily, to do this for her.And so, Rawhide became a slave to his word...Rawhide and his mother were the property of a particular cruel hobgoblin lord - a lesser chieftan of the Rhukaan Taash, or Razor Crown, clan - known as T'ktash.  He kept them on chains and when he was not beating, abusing, or defiling them he forced them to do tricks and shift upon command.  Occasionally, he would have them fight wardogs, goblins, wolves, wargs, or even other shifters for nothing more than entertainment.  When his interests wandered to his other slaves, he left them to languish in their own waste, starving them into servitude and compliance.And so, Rawhide became a slave of the flesh...The young shifter grew and finally, when she felt that he was old enough to fend for himself, Rawhide's mother ripped her own throat out right before her son's eyes.  Her dying words were that he should be strong where she failed and that she was sorry for the life she had given him.  This horrible scene would become the single most important moment in the young shifter's life; awakening something in him that he had always held in check, for the sake of his mother.  He knew that if he did the things that he desired...yearned...ached to do that it would be his mother who would suffer most gravely for them.  It was at that moment that Rawhide found his rage.And still, Rawhide became a slave of his own memories...That very night, Rawhide killed the despondent hobgoblin guards charged to watch over the shifters - he ripped them into shreds and then gorged himself on their bodies until he could eat no more.  Then he fled, finding his way, somehow, to the Ghaal River and then to the Marguul Pass.  He knew that he very well would be hunted, but he did not care - any death was far better than the only life that he had ever known.And so, Rawhide became a slave to his past...Now, with nothing more than the few weapons, armor, and scrabbly possessions that he has cobbled together, he seeks something that he has never known: freedom, peace, friendship and equality.And yet, Rawhide is still, and always shall be, a slave to his rage...And it is that rage that drives him, ever onward...</blockquote>
