Slade's gorgeous, thick coat is a mixture of black, light brown, and russet. The overall tone of his pelt is quite dark, though his shoulders, sides of his neck, and the backs of his ears allow more of the lighter colors to show through. His lower jaw, throat, legs, and underbelly are all cream and white. His fur is medium in length and meshes together in a way that one can tell it's thick without it appearing poofy.

His muscling is pronounced, even with a heavier pelt. Slade stands at 36 inches and weighs about 130 pounds. He's massive, and it's all brawn. His stocky build does give way to making him a less effective hunter. He's more useful in taking down predators and finishing off prey than he is with speed, stamina, and agility. Slade is a fighter, not a dancer like Larkspur. He carries multiple scars along his body and face to prove it.

This sexy man's eyes are a light golden brown. They hold an intelligent glimmer and hint to a mischievous wolf hiding behind the more stoic, sober exterior. Slade's face is almost always in a relaxed expression with a faint grin, or a smirk, perhaps, on his maw. He walks with a languidness to his steps: long, slow, easygoing. In battle, however, there's very little that's slow about him.

Slade has a low, calm voice, the kind that one might begin to doze off to. Actually, everything about him appears calm and composed. His words are simple and concise, and he always appears mild mannered.

Personality

Slade, while an intimidating creature, has always been more of a go-with-the-flow kind of wolf. His imposing stature, glaring gaze, and battle scars cover up the personality of a teddy bear. He's the physical embodiment of such, a true plot twist. Slade is motivated by altruism. His quiet nature is a peaceful, serene one, not a raging, caged storm.

He's constant. Nothing about him changes, and he's ever the thoughtful, charismatic wolf his parents raised him to be. Slade always prefers the company of pups to that of others, though he does still care about them in his own way, and differently for each individual. Slade is content to be where he is and is loyal to the pack as a whole, not any specific wolf.

He bears his burdens silently, always keeping his aches hidden deep so as not to impede on another wolf's mood. He will often appear solemn, and his "tell" as to when he is in a rough spot is his increased physical distance from other wolves and an elongated silence.

He has no lust for power or blood, and he is content to use his stature to intimidate and bluff rather than to follow through with a threat -- however, he will follow through. Slade plays the role of the local peacemaker within the pack ranks; outsiders will receive a cold warning from him. He is a dangerous adversary in battle, though he rarely kills. Slade prefers to leave an enemy with a few scars and some trauma than to take their life. Unless, of course, there is no other viable option.

His more amiable nature is not something to be discounting him for. Slade will tell off whomever he needs to, whether it be for their behavior or their actions. When he gets angry, his words are sharp and laced with poison. He is as strong mentally as he is physically, and he takes no nonsense from anyone. While he is respectful of his superiors, he will make it known to them if something seems incorrect.
