Standing at sixty-six centimeters at the withers, Ryker has a sleek black coat with the traditional GSD markings of a light tan underside and on his paws. He has dark amber eyes, sometimes looking a bit more orange than regular. He has a stocky build and is weighing at ninety pounds with a slim frame and not a whole much fat, mainly muscle. He has a tapered tail, sort of longish. Ryker does not suffer from hip displaysia, which is common in larger dog breeds such as himself and many others.

Personality: Despite not having the greatest life possible, Ryker is a hard-ass dog. He doesn't take no for an answer and is always looking for trouble... at least that's what most think about him. His reputation as a dog with no care in the world has been spread across the land for too long, so nobody really believes that he is actually better than that. Although he can be rather intimidating and rude, Ryker is collected and quiet. Determined to reach his goal, he is intelligent and never backs down. But, that could lead to some trouble, as sometimes his descions are not the greatest possible and some may say he's simply stupid for what he has or will do. Despite this, Ryker holds the leadership type within him, and doesn't care much though because that's not his goal in life. Being older makes him wiser, and he is experienced in just about everything. From heartbreak, to love, to fighting, to sadness, he likes to give out advice, even if you don't ask for it. Sure, Ryker may be older than some of the other dogs but that doesn't stop him from being him -- the grumpy, wise, experienced, older dog that he is. However, if you do get to know him and crack him open a bit more, he's caring and protective of just about anyone who doesn't hurt him or his friends/family.
