Appearance:
His white muzzle is long, pointed, and straight, containing a sharp scissors bite inside. On the tip of it sits a handsome, wet, black nose that he likes to nose around with. Surrounding it is light gray-cream, fuzzy, velvet-like fur with both black and white whiskers sprouting out of it. His black gum-laced jowls are slightly drooping and the wobble a bit whenever he runs. He has a slender, medium-large, wedge-shaped head and a dish face. His furry ears are average-sized, floppy, and angularly v-shaped. There is a ragged rip in his right one from being taught a lesson by the Junkyard. A thick stripe running down his forehead leads to his white muzzle. Sprouting off the edges of the muzzles are nutmeg-brown waves on either side of his face. They whoosh up and around down to his chin. The rest of his facial hair is black except for a white splotch on the bottom of his right ear and two brown brows overhanging his eyes.
His oval-shaped eyes are not inky black as they appear at first glance. Instead, they are deep brown, like fresh, fertile soil, yet they also glimmer like the richest honey in the sunlight, especially when he feels particularly mischievous. Above them are black eyebrow whiskers and his brown brows, which he is fairly expressive with.
His mainly black muscular neck is of medium length and there is a thick, double-coated ruffle of fur about it. There is a patch of white on his chest about the size of a strawberry. His body is mainly black, but parts of his underbelly are creamy and three paws are white. The hind right is completely black, except for one toe. The inside of his legs is the same nutmeg brown that is on his face. There are also small bits of white or brown on his coat on his back, but they are infrequent and consist of only a few hairs. He owns a pair of sturdy, reliable legs with rounded paws. His torso is lean, partially because that is how he is made but also because he eats leanly. If he was healthily fed, one could see that he would retain a straight waist and his stomach wouldn’t bag on him like a sack of potatoes. His hindquarters are similar to his front, still dependable and well-muscled, but one would notice the extra fluffiness of his butt hair. It falls curling but often gets knotted into unattractive clumps. His tail isn’t exaggeratively long and skinny, but it is whip-like at the core with spindly, thin feathers coming off. Not in a romantic way where it is thick and glossy, but rather in a sick-chicken’s-rump-that-has-vent-gleet sort of way. It’s not just because he’s a street dog, but that is just the way he’s made. It occasionally gets tangled in itself, making it knotted up unappealingly.
In everyday terms, he is a medium-sized dog, but more detail would reveal that he stands at twenty-three inches at the withers. He weighs 50-60 pounds on average. He also has a furry coat (sort of between a Pembroke Welsh Corgi and a Brittany, leaning toward the latter). He has a muscular build.
Strengths:
Muscular - he is physically fit and muscular, but he isn't particularly large so he can't just plow through dogs.
Double Coat - his double coat serves as protection from rain and weather.
Bravery - he is a noble dog who isn't easily frightened--whether it is true courage or plain stupidity is up to you.
Weaknesses:
Social Skills - his social skills need work and are a bit messy.
Selfish - he usually always puts himself first.
Heat - he has a low tolerance for heat.
Personality:
Bravery | Poor Social Skills | Selfish |
He isn't known for intelligence, but he isn't a complete idiot. Occasionally, he can think of some good comebacks, but usually not. He is known for his foolishness. He doesn't always think things through and can do something sort of stupid. He is brave, though, but bravery isn't the same as courage. Courage is facing fears, but bravery is more like thoughtless charging. Some people have called him a dimwit after he has blindly raced after something. He is adventurous and likes to be daring.
He does have poor social skills and can be awkward. He doesn't understand some things, but won't say that he doesn't because he doesn't want to seem dumb. So he just goes with it and a few times he has been caught and had to confess that he had no clue what was going on. He doesn't like for people to just assume he's stupid. It's okay if they think he is after they've spent some time with him, but he doesn't like assumptions -- give him some time.
He's giggly with the ladies and is extremely awkward with one he particularly thinks is attractive. He'll try to be a gentleman and be charming, but it most usually never comes off that way. He mutters and is yeah... somewhat sad to watch, but also funny.
He is also selfish and will almost always put himself and his wants first.
