The leather arm has a bird scull attached along with its little bones XD
Weapon: just a small dagger, can't do much with it in terms of harm. but it sure is handy.
Personality: Hes a very calm kid. But strong of virtue is not easily provoked. He adores his mother and thinks Fortis is super cool. But he would never tall that to Fortis's face. Because thats silly. You don't tell the man who you want to grow up to be like that, you gotta prove your worth through your strength of character! not words!
Likes: Watching over his sheep. Running errands for his mother. Story nights. Telling stories, he loves telling stories.
Dislikes: them pesky wolves. loud noisy people >BU They make him cringe and usually he just walks away or stays quiet until they are quiet
Background: Isok lived on the outskirts of the city, meaning that should the city fall under attack they would suffer first. And suffer they did.But before we get into that. Isok, his mother and his father lived a happy life. His mother is a seamstress and father was leatherworker - the perfect team. Of course Isok and his dad worked together a lot, his father hoping that the boy would follow in his footsteps. The piece on his arm was one of the first serious projects they took on. His father made the piece around his stomach for him becuase Isok had a bad habit of wandering to the stables and fields and got more than his fair share of rams and goats head butts, so he made the poor lad a little protection since he seemed to never learn his lesson XD
They were gonig to make a matching arm piece but that was when the town fell to rouges and his father took up arms against them and was slain. Now the man of the family Isok decided to take his mother and the sheep that the dead farmers family could no longer take care of. And left the town. (He would have stayed, but his mother was in a very fragile state of mind and he knew that staying in the place where the love of her life had died would eventually kill her too ) They made it on the road okay, money was always short, and food always scarce, but they made their way.
It was during a really rough patch that Fortis's small family rolled up. They took pity on the sad thin family and accepted them into the tribe. Isok, desperate for a father figure to take the burden off his small shoulders, took to Fortis in a heartbeat. It certainly helped that Isok was a rather quiet boy to begin with, and seeing his mother take to the members of the tribe so quickly? He couldn't ask for more.
Additional info: sok's hair is actually insanely straight. And it bothers him a lot- he thinks Fortis's dreadlocks are the coolest thing on planet earth, and is constantly trying to make them for himself but its hard. Though like I said, he will never tell Fortis how much he adores him. Instead he will be Fortis's little buddy and go to guy. Isok is perfectly happy to just be near him. It meant the world when Fortis trusted him enough to let him keep a small dagger on him. It comes in super handy during lambing, and when some silly gets caught in the brush. It also makes him feel just a little safer on those long nights alone.
He loves his sheep. he loves staying out in the plains and watching over them, usually from his perched position on a rock. You will often find him with his hands folded across the top of the staff, and his head resting upon his hands. He loves the quietness that comes with it. And even though sheep have got to be the dumbest things on the planet he has all their names memorised and will do anything to keep them safe. He knows just about everything about them too, spent wayyyy too much time hanging out with the old shepherd and like all little kids he soaked up that information like a sponge.
The scar on his left eye was generously donated by a leopard man who they met one day on a small road. The man insisted that he was a traveler like them and they stayed together in a small group till that night when the man tried to take advantage of Isoks mother. Jumping upon the man Isok did his best to fight him away and surprisingly enough, he won. With the help of a rock and his mother that is. But not without first being cut with the mans knife.
A week later Fortis and friends finds him and Citra was able to patch up his eye before the infection ( that had forced it shut and looked all kinds of nasty ) could get any worse.
