His eyes are a deep shade of gold outlined by black. He is rather well built, being a warrior in his own nature. He weighs in at 190 pounds as a Human, 80 in wolf form. His face is almost always in a scowl, making him look ready to attack at any second. He often wears nothing but a cloth around his waist as the suggestion of others, but isn't totally against clothing when it is necessary. While Aiken might appear in his mid-twenties, being Kelvic, he is only 3 years old.

Character Concept
Aiken isn't, by any means, well mannered. He will say what's on his mind amongst his friends or those he's met, but tends to be aggressive, or ignore if he's being nice, any new additions to his list of acquaintances until they've proven worthy of his trust. From the outside, he may look mean, ill-tempered, and anti-social, he is very protective. The feeling to protect both himself and friends physically, as well as his private emotions, make him act as he does. However, once his trust is gained You will always find a loyal friend in him.

Character History

Aiken was born to a fox Kelvic female. His father was presumed dead after not returning from a hunting trip, though his mother would often tell him stories before bed. Before Aiken was even two months old, his mother had bonded to another human, Shane, though as a servant rather than a husband. Aiken and his mother would both be treated well, more as family than servants. Before long, even Aiken grew to like Shane.

Not soon after Aiken's 13th month, he came to a scene where his mother lay bruised and bleeding, and Shane standing over him. Without a second thought, Aiken attacked Shane as a wolf, crippling the man's leg before his mother interfered and stopped to fight. Aiken was made to leave by his mother's own choice, for reasons he will likely never understand. The incident left him emotionally confused for some time, effectively breaking the bonds he had formed. He would fall in with a good sized pack of wolves, hunting beasts or whatever might cross their path with violence or dietary value.

Just after Aiken's second birthday, he felt the need to bond with something besides himself, something more human-like. Civilized in some manner. He left the pack in the middle of the night, leaving no trace of himself. Since, he has wandered to cities, not really finding anyone who wanted him or vice versa.
