Personal history

Born and raised in Rinereru, Figgy was but just an egg when his parents noted weird developments. Aside from being in the womb longer than normal, his egg didn't seem to have a pattern, which was worrisome since most Exlio eggs had patterns on them. The throuple that were his parents transported him to the nearest medium to ask for help. The medium spoke to the ancestors of years past, and relayed, "This isn't too uncommon of an occurrence. However, the child will need to be watched over, as there is higher potential of birth defects." The throuple then took a little more watchful eye over Figgy. His egg hatched later than normal, as well, and the throuple were getting a little uneasy. He hatched with little problems at first. However, his parents quickly noticed, the next few days after hatching, that he didn't quite react much. They tended to have to force-feed him, as he never made any indication that he was hungry, and the only reason they knew he was hungry was the fact that his stomach growled.
 
His parents were quick to send in a request for Figgy to be tattoo'd, otherwise known as 'Hand Marked.' Being Hand Marked wasn't horrible, in fact, most who were 'weak' were tattoo'd with magic to aid in only one of their problems. Seeing as Figgy could get deathly ill and problematic if this continued, the government approved of it and soon enough, had tattoos imprinted into his fur. Once almost all the tattoos were on, Figgy finally started showing signs of emotions--He burst into tears and howls, seeming to finally feel more and show his first emotions; Sadness. Pain. Being Hand Marked normally wasn't comfortable, and this was a common reaction to kids who got it, much more babies like him! Eventually, after it was all over, Figgy seemed to be cured and continued life normally. There weren't many problems when being raised aside from that. Maybe an occasional throuple dispute, or common cold, but Figgy was well, even though half of school, where his Hand Marks were seen as cool.
 
Once through the other half of schooling, things started getting shaky. His parents broke apart to leave him with only his brood mother. She wasn't getting enough income to hold the both of them, and started doing questionable things just to keep Figgy healthy. The schooling was starting to teach the importance and differences of Hand Marks, such as one being unable to have two Hand Marks for two different ailments. Sadly, that was becoming a problem, as his eyesight was getting worse with age, and seeing as how things were normally fixed with Hand Marks, keeping vision wasn't exactly an easy thing to go by. This was definitely taking a toll on not only Figgy's education, but his monetary situation as well. With that, came the first emotion he ever felt; Sadness. Overwhelming sadness.
 
While his brood mother did her best to take care of Figgy, she wasn't able to scrounge enough to get glasses or contacts, of which all of this needed to be imported into not only the town they lived in, but the country in general. Figgy, meanwhile, didn't do much to help her, and instead chose his own path to try to get things better. Aside from doing separate, private studies offered by the few friends he had, he ended up turning to smoking to help soothe his constant sadness from a Medium. While it did numb him, as was warned, it didn't make him happy, and it was hard to hide the fact that he was high off this. His eyes changed from orange to blue, his thinner skin such as his ears and webbing of his feet turned bright green, and most importantly, his tattoos turned from the hot pink they normally are to yellow. Of course, this was only when he was high, and trying to get a few hits could easily out him. While not turning into a total addiction, he did go out on certain nights, mostly nights where he received grades, to take an evening to 'relax.'
 
Come a year before adulthood for the species, Figgy decided to strike out, at first in attempts to not only have his brood mother take care of herself and get back on her feet, but also to get something to correct his sight. Of course, there were many problems with this. Figgy was still a minor, his brood mother didn't want to let him go yet, and just searching for somewhere that would maybe even have something to fix his eyesight was hard, as no Exlio normally knew. However, he did manage to coax his brood mother to side with him, and with a few reluctant signing of the documents, Figgy was sent off to the capital of his country Hrack; Backlish. He brought up a simple case to the parliament, to move out of the country in search for eyesight. The elders of the parliament saw this as a rather good opportunity and said, "As long as you uphold our country, we will give you a test. Should you pass this test, you will not only be able to have access in and out of Hrack, but also become an honorary Kenigh." Figgy was suspicious of this, as well as those of the parliament that didn't agree with this, most of them being a bit younger. Nonetheless, Figgy tried.
 
There were two versions of the test--Physical and written. The written test was mostly about political happenings and, oddly enough, diplomatic dealings. Despite being a year younger than graduation and struggling to learn in class, his friends had helped him enough in the past for him to get a fair score. The physical test, however, was where he faltered most. Figgy was to know how to defend himself, and he didn't exactly prove much aside from a few punches and kicks. However, when trying out different weapons that he knew not of, he had shown something rather unique. Finally, instead of relying on his Hand Mark to be unique, Figgy showed that when using weapons, he could get a bit of a quick grasp of the basics in just a few moments. The bow, funnily enough, was his best, and very much proved to not only the elderly, but the younger members of the parliament to come to the conclusion of letting Figgy go.
 
You see, despite not being able to see far, Figgy managed to show that not only could he notch an arrow in his very first drawstring, but also get lucky with his very first shot and get a bullseye. Of course, his other arrows didn't land perfectly, and the ranged weapons he used prior proved him to be truthful. They eventually gave him the title of Kenigh, which was only allowed for those who reached adulthood. Figgy seemed to reach said age just in time, as traveling to the capital, processing his request, and taking the tests passed enough days to have his birthday pass just three days before the Kenship. He was finally free to do whatever he wanted, and sent off, out of the country, to not only gain his eyes physically, but spiritually as well.

Social Aptitude

He isn't the best of the bunch as far as being social goes. His Hand Mark tattoos all over him are actually to aid in this, as they give him emotions and empathy.

Mannerisms

He tends to nod, huff, and even squeak a lot. When he's poked at and in his normal state of embarrassment, he'll cover his snout, and sometimes rub his whole face from nose to cheeks when thinking.

Speech

His voice tends to be a bit on the loud, gruff side, though it can reach lower and higher octaves just from his emotions.
