Name: Grebo
Nicknames(s): None yet
Gender: Male
Age: 3
Species: Wolf
Height: 3.2ft
Weight: Very heavyweight.
Fur: Obsidian black
Markings: White ear and tail tips, white on both right paws, and a line of white from fringe to tail tip.
Eyes: Firey yellow-orange
Tattoos: None
Piercings: None
Extras: None
Build and Conformation: Thick-set and stocky. Broad head and shoulders, very muscular legs, fore and hind-quarters. Deep chest. Legs are of medium length with smallish paws. Tail is long and bushy. Fur is short and glossy. Expression usually serious and thoughtful.
Over-All appearance: Presence is easily felt, despite the fact he’s not overly tall. He is built like a bull.
Physical Limitations: Gets cold easily.
Health/Illnesses: Very healthy, but probably won’t live too long due to high level of exercise which strains his heart, and sometimes controversial attitude. His heart is fine at the moment, but with age he is unlikely to take anything easy.
Original Pack: Phoenix Moon
Pack at this time: He’ll be trying out for Arnlan...but of course he’s not anywhere yet
Rank and/or Title(s): None yet! But he was a border guard and heir
Talents/Skills: Fighting, running, general physical stuff. He’s good at problem-solving and assessing a situation, but he’s not good at socialising or making friends. He doesn’t really get other wolves, although he likes to feel as though he belongs.
Mannerisms: Short and blunt, but usually he’s very quiet and watches from a distance, finding things out. He isn’t a great speech-maker. He never means to be horrible, but he can sometimes upset people. This dents his confidence as a speaker even more, because he never wants to hurt anyone’s feelings.
Speech Patterns: He never usually talks long enough to develop one. His voice is low, soft and throaty, but lilting.
Style: He doesn’t really think about style. To him it’s not important. He’s a practical kinda guy with a one-track mind: he wants to find a pack and protect it. It’s never occurred to him that there’s more to life: he always thought that’s what a wolf does.
-Lineage-Past, Present, Future- - I’ll only do the ones I roleplay here and there
Grandfathers: Dark One
Grandmothers:
Mother:
Father: The Protagonist
Siblings: Ember, Giant, Oscar and some others
Offspring: None
Family structure and quality of relationships: Oh they’re all fine. He was never particularly attached to any of them. It was instinct eventually that split them apart.
Sexual Orientation: Straight
What qualities do they look for in a mate: He hasn’t really thought much about that, but he has to talk about it he wants someone who’s sweet, clever and loyal. He doesn’t care what they look like or how good a fighter they are - trust me, no one gets between Grebo and his friends/mates/family/anyone he feels loyalty towards. All he wants is a compatible personality. But he’s not gonna look for a mate until he’s in the right position. Cubs are a big responsibility, and he’s not sure how good a father he’d be.
Mate: None
-History-
How did your character and what was life before now? Born the heir of his pack. His father tried to force him to be future alpha and nothing else. Whilst this was a coveted position, boys will be boys...and he rebelled. He wanted to travel, get experience, see the world, toughen himself up. Once he left, he felt free, and decided never to return.
Struggles and hardships so far? Just life in general. Life as a lone wolf is hard, hard, hard. It’s been one big fight after another. Fighting for food, for space, for the right to live. Once or twice he’s strayed onto other territories and barely got out alive, but it did him nothing but good. Not that he’s complaining. Grebo likes fighting and protecting. It’s what he lives for.
Forced down this path or was it their choice? Completely his choice, and he takes full responsibility for it. No hard feelings towards daddy: they just didn’t get along. The was always joking and flirting, with never any confidence. He wanted Grebo to have what The never had. All the other wolves called him Tags, but Grebo called him The, just to make a point. Grebo was not a joker. He did not understand jokes or sarcasm. The could not understand seriousness.
Any regrets? He regrets not living up to what his family wanted him to be. He could have been alpha, but he didn’t want to change the atmosphere of the pack. He keeps on thinking that his family might be in trouble, without him there to help. Once in a while he dreams about it. He hopes they are alright.
What special circumstance have shaped them into who they are? Being on his own, fending for himself.
Has anything happened to them so far that they can not forgive or live down, or anything that has scarred them? No.
-The Mental-
Defining Characteristics: Quiet, stoic, and usually tactless.
Goals: To be a valued member of a pack, such as a border guard. His perfect job would be as one of the protectors of the pack.
Usual disposition: Stoic, thoughtful, strong and silent.
Alignment(Good, evil, neutral): Good.
How does the character see themselves? In a down-to-earth light: he isn’t delusional about himself, and is self-observant. He knows what he is and how to control himself.
How self-confident is the character? He’s confident enough without being over-confident. He knows his limits and his strengths.
How does the character deal with emotions? He’s not too clued up about them, and is used to hiding them. The most common things he feels are anger and guilt. Guilt he deals with by trying to ignore it, pushing it deep down inside him, being on his own and not saying anything until it passes. Anger he deals with by attacking something or running. He tends to store things away to deal with later, when no one’s around and when he has some time.
How do they deal with loss and change? Just observes with pricked ears and glistening eyes, tries to understand, and does nothing. He doesn’t like to talk about things, but to deal with them in his own time at his own pace.
What does the character want out of life? He hasn’t really thought about that. He just keeps going. Although, he knows he would like to be valued.
Hopes/Desires: To belong somewhere as a worthwhile pack member
Fears/Phobias: None - it takes a lot to frighten him
Dirty Secrets: None
Ruled by emotion or logic or a combination: Logic and the knowledge that if he stays calm and strong, all will be fine.
Self centered, selfish, or selfless: Selfless
Polite or rude: Polite, but if you talk to him long enough he’ll probably inadvertently be rude to you. He doesn’t mean it: he’s just not particularly good with etiquette. He has a good vocabulary and is eloquent when he wants to be. But he doesn’t use it because He knows he can say the wrong thing and upset people.
Annoying or laid back: Not laid back. I suppose he could annoy some people.
Optimist or pessimist: Optimist, in a quiet way. He has a strong feeling that all will be find in the end.
Forgiving: Yes, although if you hurt him there will always be a wound in his heart. He will forgive you, but subconsciously he won’t be able to take what you did to him if it’s bad.
Control freak: He likes to be in control of his body and emotions. But he can take orders.
Manipulative: No. He’s very truthful, usually.
Patient: He is the epitome of patience.
Favorites: Fighting for justice, doing his duty, beautiful things like the sky and when the sun rises and sets. He loves birds too, and is in awe of the world around him and how it’s all in a balance. He likes quiet people too, because whilst he likes the company of others he doesn’t like conversations all that much.
Hates: Bullying, injustice, not knowing what’s going on, and when innocence is destroyed or exploited. He’s very opinionated about this sort of thing, and can get quite worked up about it, in his own way.
Training/Education: Only life, although in his packmember days he was trained as a border guard to start with.
What makes your character laugh? Man if you can do that, you can have a cookie. XD He takes most things seriously and find s it hard to relax, so if he laughs it means he’s relaxed and happy. He only laughs in the company of close friends, although he will smile and chuckle to be polite, if he gets the hint.
-Attitude, Morals, Beliefs, etc-
Attitude towards...
Others: He likes their company but wishes they wouldn’t rely on words so much.
Friendship: Close friendship is what keeps him going. He’s strongly loyal.
Sex: Maybe one day, but he’ll never do one night stands like his father. He’d only sleep with someone in a serious relationship, with full regard for their feelings, and he’d never overpower someone against their will.
Love: It’s confusing, strong, and gets in the way of things, but it also makes him feel wanted as long as it’s a mutual thing.
Other species: Thinks it’s amazing how diverse life is. He loves birds especially, and makes friends with other animals. He loves prey just as much as other animals, and thanks it subconsciously every time he kills it.
Other pack/clan/pride/etc: members: They’re his charges. He’ll do whatever he can to protect them, and never, ever let them down.
Political beliefs: Likes a strong hierarchy in a pack. He likes to know where he stands, although he thinks it should be flexible so that a wolf can work his way up.
Superstitions: None - he’s very down-to-earth.
Religion: Atheist, although he believes in a supreme force that holds Nature together.
Catch phrase that defines their view: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, but if it’s broke, you fix it, and you fix it good...”
-Life-
Closest Friends: None at the moment. He’d like to make some, though. He’s even prepared to talk a bit.
Noted Accomplishments: Fighting off a couple of wolf packs, then running like hell to get away alive. Making the decision to go against his parents and leave home.
Hobbies: Sitting somewhere overlooking something beautiful and watching the sun rise or set.
Words that sum up your character: Stoic, taciturn and protective.
