Appearance:
Standing at 4.4 feet tall with a weight of 555 lbs, Behroz is an impressive individual. His overall physique ranges more on the lither side, however, the masculine has his share of muscles and brawn. He has wide legs and large paws attached to a powerful body. Although it is slightly more on the narrow end rather than the broad, do not underestimate its ability to carry power and muscle. Then again, it may be difficult to tell, for Behroz has a mane so long, that it covers his entire chest and shoulders.
Whilst not the fluffiest nor neatest of manes, it is certainly one of the most lengthy. Immediately, one may note the sudden contrast between colours. Near his face, his mane is a dark tan that ends only at the beginning of his chest closer to his neck. Upon moving past that, taking up over half of his mane, is a dark brown colour that ends so far down his body, that it even covers the beginning of his legs. Hidden in his mane are his ears, which blend so perfectly with the dark tan, that they're difficult to even espy.
Indeed, Behroz's fur as a whole is nearly the same as the dark tan of his mane, if not slightly lighter. Upon nearing his nose and muzzle, that dark tan transitions into a lighter one before fading into a white upon his chin and beneath his nose. The only other area these lighter colours are seen upon are his legs. Specifically, the inner portion of them, which take up a slightly lighter tan than the rest of his body, all the way up to his paws. Which, mind you, are even lighter.
One other thing besides his mane that might stick out about Behroz is his scars. Several ones ranging in depth and size are scattered upon his body, though that is typical to see. Rather, he'd be more concerned if another did not have any. As for his pace, Behroz's own strides are slow and long, as if he's constantly taking his leisurely time whilst strolling. He does not walk with power, but rather an unsettling calmness, as if he's tip-toeing. This is often seen paired with a frown or an agape mouth.
His tone is typically raspy and hoarse, as if he's constantly about to growl or has lost it due to screaming. Oh, but there is a reason for that! You see, Behroz damaged his vocal chords in a past fight, causing him to sound much, much different. The scar is hidden beneath his mane, but it is there. Painfully different.
His eyes are a light amber, almost the cusp of being olive, and his scent consists faintly of myrrh.
Personality:
Aggressive || Stoic || Reigns with an Iron Fist || Grumpy || Respectful || Stern || Dominant || Ferocious || Complex || Anti-Social || Has Manners || Articulate || Reserved
The first thing one may notice about Behroz is that he seems as if he's constantly in a state of anger. Whilst he does not act like it, it is his face that typically expresses it. Often, his mouth lies agape and his eyes downturned, as if he's frowning. This is fitting, especially considering that Behroz is indeed a grumpy individual. He is known to be stoic, stern, and aggressive in anything he does. He can do something as kind as compliment another, and even that will sound ferocious by the way he delivers his words. It is safe to say that Behroz has not mastered the art of socializing, even at his older age. Truth be told, he was never good at it, even back when he was but a young cub. Thus, he tends to keep to himself, preferring to bask in his own presence alone.
He is a complex individual to get to know, for Behroz does not like socializing. It drains him, especially when he puts in the effort. The only time one may hear him speak or converse is when he's offering his own insight, but even that comes out aggressive and forceful given his damaged vocal chords. So, he tries to minimize the amount of things he says so that his voice is not a nuisance to others. He's articulate and thoughtful, simply isn't good at getting it out.
Known to be ferocious and dominant, Behroz is one to never give up. He would rather die than to ever admit defeat or beg for mercy. Indeed, his honour and pride is too high for that. Like mentioned before, he also tends to be on the more aggressive side, often refusing to be undermined and disrespected. He isn't afraid to spill blood and have it upon his conscience, making him all the more brutal. Behroz does not hold back when it comes to escalating situations. He does what he has to to protect his own, wouldn't you?
He tends to reign with an.. iron fist of sorts. While he isn't cruel, he's strict. He ensures that things get done one way or another. Failure to be successful often results in him ridiculing another verbally. This is especially seen when another makes a mistake, and while he is dismissive the first few times, there is only so much that he can let slide. So.. other methods of punishment would take place.
Regardless of his persona, that doesn't mean that Behroz does not have manners. He is respectful and isn't above thanking another or apologizing. He will do so if he feels that it is suitable, but he also is not afraid to banter if he believes that he is right. He is especially respectful to the Queen. It is clear that he advocates for her and understands that it is a union. You would never see Behroz overstepping or speaking over her. If he disagrees, he will simply speak to her about his concerns, but is never the type to go behind her back.
