Marauder - Male - Calamity

[Embers]

GENDER, male
SPECIES, aboriginal canine

APPEARANCE, A dark, muddied coat is ideal for hunting on cloudy nights. He has a leery gait, one that could surprise almost anyone, however watchful. His heavy coat and thick paw pads suit him for chillier climates, and something about his calm, lidded stare seems a bit unnerving.

MARAUDER,

PERSONALITY,

Calm, analytical, and a loner by nature, Marauder is an individual who blends into the background as he deems fit. He passes life with such a languid pace that it almost seems as though he’s not interested in it at all but really, it’s the opposite. He finds the world to be filled with exotic appeal and has no interest in hiding it, not when he has four working limbs and a thirst for adventure. That’s not to say he doesn’t find the other beings treading the earth any less amusing, but he does prefer observing from afar rather than having to deplete his energy and patience with their social antics. Introversion aside, he’s fairly decent when engaged in conversation, save for a few unnerving comments slipped in once in a while. Nevertheless, this canine holds an appreciation for life and those living similar to that of a hyena in a zebra reserve.

What he holds in intelligence and composure is accompanied (and possibly even hindered) by his free spirit. He is fully aware of how he is expected to treat others, as well as the consequences of unruliness, yet he continues to disobey time and time again. A thief he may be called, but he reasons that what’s taken has been taken, and the system of the world is a harsh reality filled with unfairness and greed. He’s courteous enough not to pillage more than necessary and, depending on the victim; he may even leave something in return. Other times, he doesn't merely settle for stealing, especially when he finds the target particularly irritating. Don't take it the wrong way, He's not violent–no, much too tiring–he's simply not against being aggressive when it's needed.  

A mixture of external optimism and internal pessimism, Marauder is often conflicted by his own thoughts, but buries his confusion in favor of simply ‘going with the flow’ and letting fate take over until the situation at hand resolves itself. Being as reserved as he is, his mind holds many secrets which he guards near-obsessively. He doesn’t enjoy being observed or being prodded for information, and isn’t against lying or spiting his oppressors to throw them off track, no matter how valuable they are to him. His tendency to bottle his emotional turmoil makes him come off distrustful and difficult to cooperate with for those attempting to create deeper bonds.

All that aside, time spent with Marauder can stretch from dangerous to downright silly, given his affinity for the unknown and his still-developing social skills. His carefree outlook can get him in trouble, not only for his minor crimes, but also for his mischief. Whatever is new, even if utterly absurd, he is most likely to contemplate it thoroughly, possibly even partake in it if it catches his fancy. He simply wishes to live the way he wants to live, and to find all the secrets the world may hold from him.
