Copper

[Copper]

Copper General Race: Kelvic Gender: Male Age: 3 years old Birthday: 37th, Spring, 511 AV Birthplace: Kenash Other Names: Red and Dogbreath The Man Tall, lean, and solid bodied. Copper is built for the harsh life in the Cyphrus grasslands. Broad shoulders, narrow hips, and hard muscle give him an angular appearance. With the long build of a runner and powerful legs, he moves with easy balance and fluidity. Heavily calloused soles protect the bottoms of his feet, letting him go barefoot except in extreme cases. His skin is tanned so deeply it closely matches the russet brown shine of his hair. The Kelvic avoids most clothing – shirts and shoes to be the most common and obvious – leaving his skin tough from sun, wind, and earth. Medium length curls, often hanging loose to blow about, tickle the tops of his shoulders. He has a tousled look about him; wild and energetic with the hint of a bold nature in his rich brown eyes and a sharp toothed, doggish smile. The Hound A fine specimen of Luvanor is there ever was. Copper’s canine body is slightly longer than tall. Powerful shoulders lead down to lean sides and muscular haunches, ideal for propelling him at speeds enough to chase down most game; the specific trait of his breed. His long neck carries a proud, broad head, and his dark muzzle is equipped with a powerful nose and a row of devastatingly sharp teeth capable of tearing with a fierce, scissor-like bite. Copper’s face is black and matches a saddle back marking, contrasting heavily with the rest of his thick, russet, coppery coat. Heavy brows protect observant, intelligent eyes from debris and brush while tall erect ears give him an alert appearance. Character Concept Endrykas & the Drykas: They are his family, and the city is his home at heart. He was raised among the Emerald Clan and joined in their hunts, shared their victories, and felt their sorrows. He is as much a part of them as the Striders, the hunting birds, cats, and other dogs. Religion: The complexity of the Gods is a little beyond him, though he respects their influence and power. After growing up among the Drykas, he has inherited a distinct respect for their deities and ways of worship. Cyphrus: This wild expanse of seemingly endless grass is his home, despite its indifference toward him. It provides him with food, shelter, and a way of life. The Drykas have given him a deep understanding of its workings, and taught him since childhood to see the beauty in its harsh wildness. Character History Childhood: Copper was born in Kenash, but stayed in the city only for a very small time. It was such a small blip in his infancy that he can't recall even a moment of it. He was taken in by the Drykas of the Amethyst Clan for a short while when they made a round to Kenash for trade purposes. Upon their return to Endrykas the pup soon found a home among the Emerald Clan, though he was reared as a companion and one of the family instead of a slave of any sort. He grew up quickly, and after trial and training, Copper was able to pull his own weight by the end of his first year. Adolescence: In between his first and second year he trained as a hunter. Copper ran with the other hounds during various outings, learning from them as well as the Drykas who galloped with them on horseback. It was here that pack etiquette was reinforced, under the thundering hooves of Striders and between the jaws of dogs quick to reprimand a mistake. He quickly grew into his own personality and matured by the end of his second year into a strong, capable, and hardy man.
