Appearances can be deceiving. In no case is that simple statement more true than in the case of those who subscribe to the druidic faith, and especially in the case of this practitioner. Atohi, for all his youth, has the immediate air of someone who is much older than he seems. And, in a way, this is correct.
'Atohi' is a name that has been worn by many faces, experienced by many lives, reincarnating over the generations, always into a new face, a new form. He has no memory of his past lives, and so can be considered as separate from them as any child could be from a distant ancestor; he is aware they existed, and can even draw upon their not-inconsiderable power, but he is ultimately his own entity, a free spirit who occasionally dares to wander from his reclusive home. He walks as a human these days, a man in his late teens or early twenties with reddish-brown skin and brilliantly silver eyes, skin covered in silver-inked, runic tattoos. The tattoos themselves seem to be a 'tell' of sorts, remaining with him no matter what form he takes. The druid's hair is a deep auburn, typically pulled back in a braid that reaches halfway down his back. He largely eschews clothing, even when in human form, never having learned the concept of modesty. A curious feature, too, is the faint scent that usually surrounds him, a cocktail of pheremones that he's been known to alter on the fly, with scents ranging from floral or herbal to relax... Or on occasion scents geared to arouse, or even enhance his natural charms.
In terms of personality, he's generally personable, often friendly to nearly everyone, only ever showing real anger or disapproval at deliberate waste or destruction of the environment without good cause. He's a firm believer in 'the food chain', despite what some might think about naturalists hating meat, and has adapted a unique enjoyment of the concept as well; live prey certainly do seem to feel much better going down~ But even with the apparent love of cramming creatures down his gullet, he still remains quite gentle, even in the act. What happens inside him is not often remembered terribly well by those who experience it, but they always end up coming back, none the worse for wear, so it can't be all bad, can it?

Mechanically, Atohi is a Druid, created with Rina's Vore Pathfinder rules. He is a creature of magic, and a shapeshifter besides, changing skins as easily as others might change clothes. He is, at least, limited in what forms he can assume, and no matter what form he's in, he can't get rid of his Tells.
A Thousand Faces: Atohi can change his appearance (and gender) at will into that of any humanoid within a few kilograms of his mass.
Wild Shape: The 'signature' ability of any Druid, Atohi can magically assume the form of any mundane animal, plant-based creature, or elemental, ranging in size from a mouse, up to something the size of, say, an elephant. He also has limited access to more magical beast forms, though they have to be around the same mass as he is.
Woodland Stride: Atohi is eternally unhindered by natural obstacles. Briars seem to bend out of his way, clinging vines merely letting him pass. This does not extend to obstacles manipulated by magic.
Trackless Step: A curious feature of being one with nature is that it never reveals your secrets. Atohi leaves no trail in natural surroundings, and cannot be tracked by mundane means unless he specifically wills it to be so.
Resist Nature's Lure: Atohi also has an extraordinary resilience against the wiles of the fey and other such creatures.
