History: The year is 2357, and humanity was nearing the very peak of evolution--space travel, teleportation, miracle cures beyond your wildest imagination. You name it, and they could do it. Everything was possible, nothing was too crazy. People had the perfect life...until the war broke out. It had been over two hundred years since the last war, but tensions between the nations had kept them motivated to continue building and improving weapons. Not just normal weapons, but chemical and biological weapons as well. World-killing weapons. Countless lives were lost, cities and nature all burned and destroyed.
That was when the world decided to fight back. Deep within the recesses of the earth, on a level of existance man could never even begin to fathom, forces set at work and the biosphere itself was changed dramatically. The chemical agents in the air were mutated and the world began to release powers upon the land that were unheard of before. Strange beasts began to arise and threaten human civilization. There was no stopping them. In a matter of years the human population was nearly halved, and many cities were but crumbling ruins. Those who survived built new cities, with methods of keeping out the "magicks" that fuel the beasts' powers. But some were left behind. It was in these people that managed to survive in the wild that arose the hope for salvation--those who came to be known as Naturals were born that shared the same link to the earth as the creatures that plagued humanity, and the New World Government saught to harness this power. At first they were unsuccessful, finding that training these Naturals essentially robbed them of the link that was forged at their births. They set out to train these new fighters in the wild itself, under immense conditions, and soon were rewarded with a brutal, effective fighting force. One of these, Thomas, was among the very best. However, a particularly brutal battle between him and what he called a Red Heart created a chain reaction between the magicks in and around them. The beast was killed, however Thomas was pulled through an anomaly in the fabric of space and time, dumped in a world far beyond what he knew. Now, his link to the Wild cut off and alone, he wanders forth into this new world...

Physical description: Just under six feet tall, Thomas has a lithe, sinewy build. Not too bulky, he can sneak and hunt with the best animals out there, but everything he has is pure muscle. Reflexes bordering on the verge of precognition. He wears primitive clothing, no shirt and a sash-like garment around his waist to aid in mobility. He wears a small bead necklace, and has various tatoos; tribal designs the length of both thighs and a heart, impaled with a knife on his left arm, sinuous red flames licking at his chest and shoulderblade. Short black hair, eyes as dark as night.

Personality: A man of few words, he prefers action. Through his link to the Wild he was less human than what could be considered so; civilized in the right of beasts with a sense of competition and predatory instincts, he has a brutality about him that makes him seem almost feral. There is no doubt that once on his bad side you will probably not walk away unharmed, if at all. Despite this, he has an overall calm attitude--icy, with the mind of a predator. He's confident and assured, and he knows he is formidable.

Weapons: The only physical weapons he carries are a lage hunting knife, with the lower half serrated and diamond-tipped, able to cut through bone like paper. He also has with him a longbow, longer even than most, and a quiver of arrows with arrowheads made of diamond, tapered to points so fine it is questionable as to just what force shaped them.

Abilities: Geomancy--the ability to control, generate, and absorb materials within the earth {dirt, etc}.
Shapeshifting--the ability to alter one's physical composition to take the form of other species.
Animal/Spirit Lore--the ability to summon beasts/spirits of nature to aid one in all manner of ways.

Anything you think should be known about them: Thomas is one to view challenges like any predator would. Speak carefully if you think something may offend him, and word your sentences accordingly. He can react quickly and violently; he was trained to make sure the enemy doesn't have a chance to strike back.
