Name: Hinto SpiritWalker ((Hee-n-toe))
Age: 18 Years
Roleplayed By: Matsi (shadow45wolf45)
Animal: White Tiger
Personality: Hinto is very calm and quiet. Many would say he was shy, but that is not the case. He does not like to speak unless he has something worth saying. He is determined to do things fully and to the best of his ability. He rarely has the end of his fuse met, but when it is reached, he cannot help but shift and attack anything that will burn off the anger. He can be very stern, but seems to have a soft spot for children, especially ones that remind him of his little sister, Maikoda. He highly dislikes fighting, but will if he must.
History: Originally born Kevin Adam Patterson, Hinto was born to parents who were full time volunteers for native american tribes, their favorite and closest to home was Sawtooth Tribe. When Hinto was 14 months old, he did something that his parents never expected, he shifted into a white tiger. Confused, his parents took him to the tribe leader of Sawtooth, Chief Naaka-hay, for answers to their many questions. The Chief told the young shifters parents that natural shifting was a gift given to some as a bridge between humans, Animals and the spirits. The Chief also told them that being a shifter was the biggest honor that the young child could ever have. For good luck, the parents were instructed to give the boy a new name based on their culture and the animal the boy could shift into. The boy was then renamed Hinto, which means blue, for his blue eyes that he had in both his human and tiger form. The tribe then gave him the last name ''SpiritWalker'' as a identification to his talents.
When Hinto was two, his little sister was born and she too turned out to be a shifter like himself.
When Hinto was five years old, he was staying with the Sawtooth tribe while his parents were gone on a trip, when his parents were killed in a car accident. Hinto, being older than his sister, was hit hard by the event and quickly matured and took it upon himself to take care of his little sister, despite the fact that the Tribe adopted them.
Hinto grew quickly, and was happy living with the Sawtooth tribe, where he could shift anytime he chose. He often went out into the forest with his sister to hunt, but when he wasn't with his sister, he was almost always climbing the nearby mountains.
When Hinto was 12, the government came to the tribe and with much argument with Chief Naaka-hay, the two shifting children were taken away to the government. The siblings were only in the grasps of the government for a year before they escapes. Sadly, Hinto was only free for a few weeks. The governments searchers found the two, and Hinto was re-captured in his efforts to protect Maikoda.
For the next year and a half, Hinto was put through harsh training to become a Searcher, a person of Shifter who goes out and captures other shifters. Hinto quickly became one of the top Searchers and his top area for searching was in the major cities. When he was 16, he was surprised to find his sister. He felt terrible for not being there for her for the last few years, so he did his best to keep her out of the governments hands. He had her hid in an abandoned Apartment and gave her money for food and clothing. His secret helping of his sister went on for a year before he was caught by a fellow Searcher. He was told that either he turned in Maikoda, or the young girl would be killed. Not wanting to loose his sister, Hinto gave his fellow Searcher permission to capture Maikoda. Hinto watched as his sister was captured, and escorted her and the other searcher to the lab. After a few weeks, he finally told his sister why she got captured. She turned on him, and was severely angered by him, but for some reason still trusted him. Still trying to protect his sister, Hinto uses his power to try and prevent the harsher testings on Maikoda. Guilt is still a major factor of his life.
Appearance: Human Form: Standing at 6'1'' and weighing 152 pounds, Hinto is all muscle. He has a well built frame that shows every muscle in his body, though his clothing usually covers it. His hair is pure black and hangs down just past his lips. His hair is very straight, so it sometimes looks as if he had straightened it with a flatting iron, though he does no such thing. His eyes are a pure sapphire blue that seem to ripple like water. His pupils even seem to be more navy blue than black.
His clothing is normally all black. He wears a black beater, black jacket and black jeans and shoes. Around his neck, a dream catcher necklace hangs by leather string. The dream catcher is a soft tan color and in the webbing is one ruby, one ebony and one sapphire bead. Three tails hang from the bottom of the dream catcher. On the two edge tails, the talons of an eagle hang. The center tail holds the fang and tuft of hair from a copper colored wolf.
Tiger Form: Standing 3 feet at his shoulder, 10 feet from nose to tip of tail, and 532 pounds, Hinto is a good sized male tiger. He looks like any other white tiger by coloration and pattern, but what makes him different is his nose, paw pad and eye color. Hinto's nose in tiger form is very soft and a light pink color, like that of a domestic house cat. This pink color is also found in the pads of his paws. His eyes are like that of his human form, a watery sapphire color.
