Tarik puts on a smile for those around him, trying to lead by example and never let anyone get the best of him or effect his emotions.
Demeanor:
There is much pain in Tarik’s life, knowing that his tribe, his family and friends were likely all destroyed by the tragedy that befell Xexoria. When alone he is often sulking and reliving the memories of his past, unable to let go of that final confrontation he had with his father.
History:
Tarik was born to Chieftain Shabaka of the Red Scropion Clan, a group of warrior nomads that traveled the deserts of Xexoria fighting for survival against the other great clans of the desert.
As the Chieftains son Tarik was privileged with great mentorship in the art of battle that was balanced by the expectations others had for him because of his station. As Tarik grew older and gained renown through his exploits in combat he became seen as one of the military leaders of the tribe, and was one the youngest men ever invited to give his opinion at the council of elders, whom decided along with Chieftain Shabaka the path their people would take.
By the time Tarik reached his eighteenth birthday he had become restless, he grew weary of the never ending combat with the other tribes. He no longer saw the purpose behind the combat, the goal was simply to survive and not flourish, where was the honor in that he often wondered.
Against the wishes of elders and his father Tarik left the tribe to travel to one of the larger cities, there he enlisted into the ranks of the military and offered his services as a foot soldier to fight foreign enemies, and make a true difference.
Tarik’s time in the Xexroian army lasted for several years and he quickly learned his ideology had been childish. Fighting enemies of a different nation was no more glorious than killing other clans, the battles had only gotten larger and more blood was shed.
Tarik rose to the rank of Captain in the time he served, the time Xexoria met its destruction to an ocean of darkness, of shades.

Fighting style:
Dervish Dancing: The style of fighting Tarik employs was common among Xexoria, and perfected among his tribe. He utilizes two scimitars for combat, it is a very acrobatic and often aerial style of fighting. It gets it’s name because when employed to it’s fullest the practitioner looks to be dancing with blades.
