You know, I am not entirely sure. His name means White falcon in the Tauren’s native tongue and that’s where he started from.
Echey’Neahok is an Albino. Seriously. I don’t know what setting my old computer were on when I created him way back in BC/Wrath but he was all white and had pink eyes. So I ran with it after reading something in Tauren Lore about when one is born with white fur it means a bad omen. His story developed as an outcast. So when he left the tribe, he started collecting other white pets that otherwise may not have survived on their own in the wild and gave them a home. He has also been in search of answers about his Lifemate’s dissapearence. Getting “clues” almost but never actually getting closer to finding her.

A old and obscure cartoon character that 4 year old me for whatever reason really liked.

A couple of sources to be honest. Ryu here was made back before the rep tabards were introduced, let alone shared mounts on all of your characters. So if you wanted a mount from one of your allies on your character you had to grind their quests to do it. Liking the Night Elf Saber Cats I created him and shipped him off to Teldrassil to begin farming rep.
With the exception of the exploration rep I got by traveling from Coldridge Vally to Teldrassil I leveled him completely in Kalimdor and only on Nightelf based quests.
When I started RPing with him it became part of his story; a Dwarf, marooned in an unknown land raised by Night Elves learns to become one of them and found a place among them. His story expanded further with him being an elf, but not an elf. So while he lived among Druids he never could be one, so asked Elune for a different blessing. While he cannot change into the animals of the forest, he can communicate with them. Feel what they are feeling, see through their eyes ((Eyes of the Beast)), and take on “aspects” of them to improve his abilities.

I cribbed mine (when IC which isn’t very often anymore) off the old coffin-maker trope from westerns. I like to walk up to strangers before a conflict and measure them.
