Description for

========================================
HUMAN/RIDER:

Name: Isaiah Yuyutsu Cooper
Age: 27
Gender: Male
Height: 6’3”
Nationality: African American born but raised in an Apache tribe.

Personality: Isaiah is weary and always on his guard. He’s not one to trust people so quickly; being a black man raised by Apache Indians he’s been a source of prejudice and discrimination for many. Though if you treat him right, he’ll treat you right in return. And he always uses his manners until it’s absolutely necessary to resort to other means.
History: Isaiah’s parents were escaped slaves who gave birth to him out in the west. Their family became close to a nearby Apache tribe when his parents aided them in an attack from cowboys. But when Isaiah was only a few years old his parents were recaptured and he was left on his own. The Apache took him in and raised him teaching him their language and customs, until he was 17 and he decided it was time he ventured out into the world. His new goal was to gain his parent’s freedom and he’s been traveling and working for years to find a way to make that happen. Now 10 years later with this tournament surfacing Isaiah wishes to win this competition and use his winnings to buy back his parents’ freedom.

Misc: As a child growing up with the Apache the other kids made it clear that he was different and wouldn’t always get along with them. This led to many confrontations in which Isaiah was always quick to fight to tooth and nail. This attitude gained him the nick name “Yuyutsu” which means “eager to fight”, and after a while he earned the tribe’s trust and respect.
Isaiah, in his years out in the world away from his tribe, procured a Winchester High Wall Buffalo Rifle with modified telescope on top of it. This gun was powerful enough to bring down some fairly large animals and even ward off bigger ones. He named it “Imala” which is Apache for “disciplinarian”. His trained with it and other more experienced shooters long enough that he’s become a very good long range shot with it.

========================================

BATTLE DINO/MOUNT:

Name: Blood-Horn
Gender: Female
Species: Ceratosaurus Nasicornis
Height: 3.26m

Misc: Blood-Horn is a keen hunter with a hot temper, but is quick to step back in line when Isaiah commands her to. Fairly smart she is also very intuitive to her people’s intentions/emotions and sensing oncoming threats. When she first met Isaiah it was on his first hunting walk as a teen. She tried to eat him but Isaiah outsmarted trapped her. Instead of killing her however Isaiah decided he wanted to ride her so he kept her restrained and waited her out until she would no longer try to eat him. Having been an orphan for years she struggled against accepting Isaiah but eventually came to his side and has remained loyal. However she will roar at him and swipe him with her tail if he makes her angry enough.
===================

PET:

Name: Tarak
Gender: Male
Species: Longisquama insignis
Height: 25cm

Misc: Tarak was a little creature Isaiah discovered in his years after leaving his tribe. He fed the critter some food and expected it to leave but instead it stole more food. Whenever he thought he had gotten rid of it, Tarak would pop up again and steal more food. Eventually Isaiah grew attached to the little guy and taught him some tricks so won’t just steal things from him, but possible snatch things from other places or people as well. He named him “Tarak” which means “pupil” for his big eyes.

Yeah originally I was gonna go Allo but then I noticed there wasn't a Ceratosaurus around so I chose it instead, plus you can't beat those awesome face spikes!
