(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v484/Scarysquirrel/gerudo.jpg)<br/><br/><br/>Real Name – Garida Swifthand, or Gar to his friends.<br/>Gender – Male<br/>Age – 23<br/><br/>Class – Thief, fighter, duellist, pirate.<br/>Race – Gerudo/Hylian<br/>Realm - Gerudo valley/Hyrule town<br/>Ons – All normal good things.<br/>Offs – Vore, scat, all the normal bad things.<br/><br/><strong>Personality</strong>–<br/>Charming and warm, Gar loves people. He is confident without being overly arrogant, and walks with the assuredness of someone who knows they can handle themselves. His move to Hyrule increased his wonder at the plethora of races and variety of people that make up a world, and he drinks them up like he does his favourite wine.<br/><br/><strong>Equipment</strong>-<br/>Gar only carries one of the traditional Gerudo double-scimitars, marking himself as being only half Gerudo. He also has among his personal belongings in his quarters some small throwing knives and a small bow.<br/><br/><strong>Bio-</strong><br/>Despite their ugly connotations as enemies of Hyrule thanks to Ganon's reign of terror, most Gerudo have never harboured any ill will to outsiders of any kind. These Gerudo have helped the Hero of Time before, and maintain laws within their own fortress and desert lands.<br/><br/>The rumour that only one male is born every 100 years is only partially true, and cannot be true so far as continuing the Gerudo race, and in fact in recent times many Gerudo thieves have taken Hylian men for lovers and husbands.<br/><br/>Garida is the result of one of these love pairings, and is a half Gerudo half Hylian young man, raised for the most part by his Gerudo elders in the sandy reaches of the desert and the infamous Gerudo fortress, where, like all Gerudo, he undertook a strict regime of sword training, horse riding, bow practice, climbing, leaping, freerunning, all strictly under the Gerudo style. However he was taken to Hyrule regularly as he grew up as relationships warmed between the two races and even trade struck up, and when he was of an age, Garida moved to Hyrule in order to become a full-time ambassador for the Gerudo in Hyrule.<br/><br/>However, the past cannot be forgotten by all, and at times Gar became the target of race-related slurs and even attacks. He is thankful for his strict Gerudo training when walking the streets of Hyrule late at night by himself.<br/><br/>For the most part, however, Garida likes Hyrule and the people within it, finding most warm and friendly, and keen to build new bridges with the Gerudo. He spends his time in the market, searching for new and exotic trinkets and goods, and soaking up the atmosphere of the Hylian people, ingratiating himself with the traders and peasants and spending a lot of his time in local pubs to keep on good terms with the everyman Hylian.<br/><br/>However now, things are changing, and a sour atmosphere fills the crowded Hyrule markets, seeming to bring with it more bitterness and unprovoked attacks, some of which Gar is the victim of. More often these days he finds himself fleeeing over rooftops or fending off mulitiple attackers of all kinds, and has been roped into protecting more vulnerable diplomats and nobility, those without the benefit of his martial Gerudo upbringing.<br/><br/>Gar, although not a magic user himself, is open to metaphysical ways and worshipped the Goddess of the Sands like all Gerudo when he was growing up. He knows that all things can't be solved with either a winning smile or a quick sword -thrust, and as such believes darker powers are at work.<br/><br/>Garida is determined to get to the root of the malignant force affecting what he sees as "his" people, both the Hylians and the Gerudo.<br/><br/>
