(credits on image, I couldn't find any on Devientart :'( )
Ghost is a bold, proud and dignified-looking dog, with the broad head, muscular build and wide stance distinguishing him as a bully breed. He stands at a respectable 27 inches tall, average for his breed, and weighs in at around 90 pounds of solid muscle, which fluctuates with the availability of food. His build is sturdy but fairly long-legged and agile, well-rounded for speed and stamina as well as strength.
His coat is pure white, short and neat, great for hot weather but lacking the insulation of a fluffier dog. It is marked with his fair share of scars, rough and faded, scattered primarily over his neck, shoulders and legs. His nose is black in color, and his eyes are a deep brown with a focused intelligence in them. His ears and tail have both been docked down to short stubs, giving him the desired intense and unexpressive look even if he is happy or relaxed.
[Personality]
Ghost comes across as a calm, cool and collected dude, familiar with the way of life on the streets and not afraid to tell other dogs how it is. He is blunt and to the point, prides himself on being realistic and not sugarcoating things. He isn't exactly a kind dog, but he is honest and doesn't manipulate or lie to others to get what he wants. He quite despises this shady, low-life behavior - say what you mean and stick to it, don't beat around the bush. Ghost is a very alert and cautious dog, always the first to check a newcomer out and be sure they're not a threat. Ghost knows there's no such thing as a free lunch. other dogs always want something. As such he is extremely wary of random acts of kindness.
Ghost prefers not to fight with others and will try to talk, then intimidate the threat into submission. But if he is forced to fight he seems to turn into a completely different personality - focused, merciless and frankly terrifying. He is very goal-oriented, becoming a force of nature once it's clear to him what he's supposed to do. Despite his tough and fierce look, he is not a leader personality and is better just looking after himself and those who need his help. He is a hopeless softie when it comes to little ones - kittens, puppies, anything tiny and vulnerable, leave it out near him for five minutes and he will be there to protect it.
Ghost prides himself on his extreme loyalty. Once you gain his trust and respect, which is admittedly a tough task, he will be by your side forever. Once he makes a decision or a promise he will do whatever it takes to follow through, a very dutiful and dedicated soul when it comes to his family and friends. He finds it hard to express affection due to his rough past, so he shows love mostly through acts of service. If someone he adores tells him to sit outside this door and guard it until they come back, rest assured he will be there until they come back, come rain or shine. Admittedly this comes with drawbacks, and the potential to be manipulated. So it's lucky that this is paired with a discerning nature - he can sniff out a liar or a fake from a mile away.
If you can break through his sarcastic, blunt and aloof mask, Ghost is honest. caring and trustworthy, and if you can gain his loyalty you'll have an incredibly protecting, dutiful and attentive friend.
[Likes]
- Peace and quiet, when everyone is calm and tensions are low
- The invividuals he's decided he's loyal to, he likes being around them and making them happy
- Feeling useful and valued, being part of a group.
- Running, hunting and swimming - Ghost is a very hearty and athletic dog. Although he is often quiet and still to conserve energy, you set him on prey he'll chase it for miles.
- Little dogs, pups, and miscellanious frightened creatures who pose no threat to him and need his help. He turns into a big old teddy bear.
[Dislikes]
- Anything to do with stealth. Being pure white and 90 pounds makes it hard to sneak anywhere, and he sticks out like a sore thumb.
- Feeling vulnerable or anxious, or being overpowered.
- Being forced to fight other aggressive dogs.
- The cold! As mentioned earlier, his fur is relatively short and thin, he is not built for the cold.
Cocky, hot-headed, manipulative and/or flaky dogs who are only out there for themselves and stab others in the back to get just a little farther ahead. Liars.
[Other]
Sadly he is deaf in one ear, having inherited hearing problems as many pure white dogs do. This link between color and deafness has also been observed in white huskies and samoyed dogs. He can usually make up for this with his keen senses of sight and smell, but you must be careful not to sneak up on him, lest you get barked at or even hurt.
