Alyxandyr Finn Human Form Ermine Form Physical Information Race: Kelvic - Weasel Birthday & Age : Day 19 of Fall; 511 PV - 2 years old Gender: Male Physical Description At five-foot-eight and with a weight of two hundred pounds, Alyx is not what one would call ‘ruggedly handsome’. In fact, he’d probably only barely pass for ‘plain’. He appears unexceptional, which suits him just fine. A mop of mouse-brown hair sits atop a barely frontally-angled face that seems almost more snout than jaw, with beady, liquid brown eyes. His nose is a bit bulbous, and his lips are thin and usually set, though they can fall into a lopsided grin that gives him a boyish charm despite his lack of attractive qualities. His skin is lightly tanned, which suggests he was originally of fair color but has spent a lot of time under the sun. His physique is mostly average—not wiry nor muscle-bound—and he’s just a bit overweight. He’s not horrendously out of shape, but he has a noticeable paunch that slows his major physical actions just slightly, though his hands are quite nimble. His nails seem to always be sharp as claws almost, though they don’t inhibit his dexterity any. Character Concept Alyx is someone who is very much out for himself. He has a rather laid-back temperament, which means he’s hardly pushed to excel or do anything grandiose. So long as he can get by, that’s what’s important. Minimum work for maximum result is his creedo, even if said work happens to fall into the category of illegal. He’ll cut a deal with anyone for any reason, so long as he gets his way and it doesn’t strike him as a poor deal to take. ‘Philanthropy’ is a word that he can’t even spell—due mostly to a lack of schooling—much less make a part of himself. He’s not afraid to make friends…so long as those friends don’t hurt his schemes. If they can help with them, then all the better. Alyx loves booze and women. In fact, they are his fatal flaw. If he sees a good bottle of spirits or a pretty lady, he’s more inclined to make mistakes or do something stupid. Part of the reason he hasn’t made more than he has in his life’s work is he tosses it away on whores and ale. Alyx has a peculiar distaste for combat. Something about throwing himself into the middle of a fight where his life is in jeopardy seems remarkably dissuasive from his desire to be involved. He is, by and large, a coward, so he is not above hiding, fleeing, or selling out himself or others to keep his own life. So long as he doesn’t have to fight, he’s happy. Character History To understand Alyx Finn one must first understand where he comes from. Okay, that’s a lie, there is no terrible tragedy here…his history is about as plain as his appearance. He comes from a middle-class home in Syliras where his father and mother worked hard and achieved well in their lives, each working for the same employer as though they were their Masters. His father and mother were both wolf kelvic, and they spent more time in human form than out. Alyx, unusual for his kind in that he feels no particular desire to serve, never understood his parents desire and deep-seated pleasure in serving people who treated them like dirt oftentimes. He always had big dreams for himself, but never had the will to put such things into actions. His father was off serving with his pack, while his mother was bonded to a master as a seamstress. Eventually he was kicked out of his mother’s master’s house for being a layabout. What little coin he had he spent in the bar to drink his pity away—very soon finding he preferred the fuzzy state of tipsy to sobriety—and without having even finished his schooling much less learned a viable trade, he began to starve on the streets. It was then that he decided to turn to petty theft. Stealing a loaf of bread or a bit of cheese wasn’t a tough deal, and it opened to the door to do more. His crimes slowly began to escalate from stealing for survival to stealing for laziness. He’d pulled enough coin off of passersby or stolen it from houses that he could have used it to learn a trade or invested it to become a legitimate trader…but that was too much work, and he didn’t want to do that much. Besides, why spend money on being legitimate when you could spend it on drink and women?
