(http://i1099.photobucket.com/albums/g393/theredfear/MaleCharPics/michael-trevino.jpg)<br/><strong>Name: River Navarro</strong><br/><strong>Age: 19</strong><br/><strong>Race: Primal</strong><br/><strong>Sexuality: Heterosexual</strong><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>River has a dark sense of humor developed over the years as a coping mechanism for life as an Enclave Ranger. Watching the men and women he trained with and fought beside die gruesomely one after another over the years. The girl who took his virginity...a fellow fledgling Ranger...was viciously torn to shred before his eyes by a Fyarl Demon about twelve hours later. The man who taught him how to throw a proper roundhouse kick had half his leg eaten by rogue werewolf. He hung himself a few nights later. The only thing his suicide note said was that he considered shooting himself, but did not want to deprive his fellow rangers of the bullet that might save one of their lives later. If River hadn't forced himself to learn to laugh through the Pain and horror he might have become a sociopath as monstrous as the demons he hunted. Many Rangers succumb to that.<br/><br/>But things are different now. Now that he has the power to make a real difference he has become bold, aggressive, and eager to take the charge. He feels for the first time that perhaps they can go on the offense, instead of being perpetually on the defense. It's not like he's the first supernatural being the Enclave has ever had of course. But finding yourself with real power for the first time can change your outlook dramatically. River is trying to get the Enclave to approve putting the various supernatural beings in the Rangers all in one squad. An elite squad that can begin aggressively launching strategic strikes to weaken the more organized Demonic powers in the region, rather than the perpetual holding action Rangers usually play.<br/><br/>Of course he didn't survive five years as a purely human Ranger by being stupid. He is resourceful, and has a good head for strategy and tactics. The recent developement of his powers has brought more primal, dominant, agrressive characteristics out of him but so far he has been relatively succesful at channeling these traits constructively. For the most part. He has had a few awkward social incidents, but considers them a small price to pay for the edge his new abilities give him outside the barrier.<br/><br/>His ability to move through the barrier without being burned encourages him and assures him that though he is clearly changed he is still human. More or less. Enough at least for the Barrier to allow him passage.<br/><br/><strong>Body Mods:</strong>Numerous scars, but that's it.<br/><br/><strong>Back Story:</strong>River was still a boy when he fell in with a band of refugees following in Tara's wake. Just one among many. He was passed from survivor to survivor as one caretaker after another died(more than a few by their own hand...several right before River's eyes), or fled. Eventually he just started looking after himself. Stealing and dealing and fighting as needed to end the rumbling of his belly and find a dry place to sleep. Still it was hard. But perhaps one of the benefits of growing up in this world is that it never really occured to him to commit suicide. This was just the way of the world, so he took it in stride and soldiered on. Still, hunger sucks. So when he was around fourteen, the siren call of garunted food every day...and quality food no less...prompted him to sign on with the Rangers.<br/><br/>He proved a surprisingly skillfull Ranger, taking quite naturally to the demands of that lifestyle. Though they'd never admit it, the Vets expected him to be running the outfit some day. One day his patrol group was hit by a particularly nasty ambush, and River was the only survivor. Making his way back he came upon a Wolf, a Ram, and a Hart. He doesn't remember exactly what happened. The last clear memory he has is of the Wolf staring into his eyes and speaking to him. "This is not as we planned." His next coherent thought was awakening well after the sun had fallen with his senses alive like never before. With newfound strength and vigor in his limbs. The first demon that came upon him as he made his way back to Redemption died in such a ridiculously lopsided fight that if there had been an onlooker, it might have felt pity for the baby-eating fiend.<br/><br/>The Enclave Coven poked and prodded at him for weeks, but seemed as flummoxed over what had happened as he was. Somebody finally decided they were wasting his newfound power keeping him locked up, and allowed him to resume his duties as a ranger...at least for now.<br/><br/><strong>Player Limits:</strong>Anything that belongs in a toilet doesn't belond in my RP.
