Appearance
Moss is very slim for his age, as he uses weapons at a distance. He is quite tall and agile and has an impressive sneak ability. He has quite rough feet and hands and prefers to go bare foot during combat. He has a few small scars from hunting mishaps and falling from high trees.

Clothing wise, he wears a green team MIST coat with a blue dress shirt underneath, green trousers and commonly bare feet or otherwise, team MIST combat boots. Moss often has leaves or twigs in his hair as sleeping outside soothes him, but does try to make himself look professional in formal situations. He has a belt which can store his crossbow and throwing knives when not in combat, but he prefers to hold his crossbow so it doesn’t annoy him.

Personality
Moss is very shy, timid and secluded from the rest of the team, but feels a special connection to Soul at most times, especially with her words of wisdom defining some of the best decisions he’s ever made. Moss is very connected to nature and would prefer to talk to animals and plants than people. Although Moss is secluded, he prefers the security of his team, as he believes in what is right. He also is drawn to Soul as she rattles his brain with metaphors and riddles with subliminal meanings.

Other team members find Moss confusing, but accept Soul’s decision to bring him into the team. Talon and Ivory think he could use more skill in combat, but also appreciate his skill in long-distance aim.

When Moss gets into combat mode, he completely focuses on the task until it’s completed, which makes for a bad time after failed missions. He will commonly go for long hikes after failed missions to calm himself down and bring him back to normality. This can be a significant problem for the rest of the team when his specialties are needed when he is away.

Weapons and Abilities
His crossbow is made from an elder tree. The design is very archaic. The stock of the weapon is carved with his clans symbol of the elder tree. The firing mechanism is a repeater-based catridge loaded with different bolts for different uses, i.e fire dust for incindeary. The throwing knives are coated in a poison that dehibilitates foes. The blades are grooved with an ivy pattern.

Growing up in the forest, Moss learned how to hunt and track. His clan trained in acrobatics as they used the tress to move around faster. He has trained in basic poisons and herbal medicines, making him invaluable to his team.
