-Body: Long legged and lean formed. His hooves are cloven like that of a deer and are extremely sharp.Lion like tail.

- Coat: Rye is a zebra, his coat is striped with black and white. Perhaps a strange sight in Helovia.

- Mane & Tail: Rye's mane is thick and black, it sticks straight up like it never grew from colt-hood. His tail however is like a lions and across the bottom of it is thick snow white hair that is long enough to touch the ground.

- Scars/Eyes/Horns: Rye's neck has a deep scar across it, reaching across ear to ear like a smile. Because of this Rye's rich deep voice constantly aches and sounds raspy. For eyes Rye has a pair as orange and as secritive as a tigers. He sports two horns above his eyes, they are twisted and black. (Horn reff is a Kudu bull)

Now:::

Entering Helovia::: -Sadistic: The pain and suffering of his enemies is what Rye lives for, blood and violence sends him into a blind violent frenzy. Sometimes he goes out of his way to hurt others.

-Reckless/Unpredictable: Rye has such little care for his safety that you really don't know what he'll do next. In his eyes death is just a thing not many come back from. He's tried but just keeps coming back.

-Sarcastic: Most things will be rude or at the expense of others.

-Inappropriate: Another boyish impulse that cannot be helped.

-In all Rye is victim to panic attacks and suicidal tendencies, at these times Rye seems like a different person. No matter who you are he will lash out at you or disappear for weeks. At these times everything is a blurry haze. He calls these times when he is "asleep"

-Extreme potty mouth,bisexual.

Now:::

Pre-Helovia::: Rye is the youngest of five brothers, that explains everything. From the start everything was a battle. "If you were not born with the will to fight, you will soon die" a favorite saying of his father's. All his life he was bullied and beat by his brothers.All the while being trained to be a fighter.

Manipulated and lied to Rye grew up to be a terrible man. So one night he took his family's gold and ran. Just like that Rye became a rich king and had what he wanted. Little did he know his four brothers were hot on his trail.

One night, while pleasently distracted his brothers attacked him, blindfolded him, tied his legs and knocked him cold. When he woke (little did he know-just outside of Helovia) Rye was alone. Slowly he stood took a step...and plummeted...(see threshold thread)
