(this is yet another wonderful recommendation by '_Ouroboros_' again, many thanks! oh, and sorry about #25... i need to edit it, but i was struggling with writers block on that one... also, my female characters never really go over well, but i hope you enjoy this one!)
Lautaro Borges is a Hybrid of the Rarer known varieties. he is what's known as a Peryton, a bird stag. his kind was only recently discovered in 1957 by an Argentinan author who then proceeded to rant to everyone that he met.
the species, a tightly knit group, was disturbed to know that they were discovered, and a few banded together to rid the world of this man, so they could pass the stories off as false imaginations fasioned by an eccentric and delusional old man who spent too much time in his head.
unfortunately, it didn't go as planned, and he survived, painting the race in a more gruesome detail. they were displayed as a violent beast, and as time wore on, game developers catching hold of their tales and wove even more horrific details that were simply not true.
but here they stand, feared and mocked. shown to be bloodthirsty ravagers, cold hearted, mindless killers...
And Lautaro? well, the fate of his tribe's face and reputation rests on his shoulders as he's given a task. "Go to TAME (Toshmore Academy of Mythical Entities), make some friends, and show that damn society that we are not as they say we are".... the last words from his parents before leaving home? "rewrite our history"
