Kha'Ri, The War Hound

[Kha'Ri]

Name: Kha'Ri The War Hound
Age: 5
Human Age: 32
Gender: Male
Breed: Dire Wolf
Klan: none
Rank: Mercenary
Mate: N/A
Pups: N/A

Appearance: Kha'Ri's appearance is intimidating. His size is astounding even for a Dire Wolf, his body a few inches over five feet from nose to rear. He stands at two and a half feet tall at the shoulder. His dark brown nearly black fur grows short, giving him enough to cover his body, but nothing in excess of that. His body is thick with muscles, a wolf like him wasn't build for speed, and it shows. He weighs around 120lbs of next to pure muscle, his height not the only thing making him intimidating. Kha'Ri carries himself with pride, never backing down, this shows in cleanliness and posture. His dark brown eyes hold no fear for any challenge the world may throw at him.

Human Appearence: In human form he stands at 6'0" and weighs about 240lbs. His muscles aren't heavily defined. He may even appear to be 'fat' from the lack of definition, his stomach protrudes more than a bit. His hair is cut to the scalp, he keeps his head clean shaven, taking the time to trim it back any time he's in human form. Kha'Ri's skin in human form is nearly as dark as his fur in wolf form. His left ear has three piercings, each one a small hoop with a large tooth dangling from it, these represent the first three fights he won in his youth as a wolf. Around his neck he wears a necklace comprised of a dozen or so teeth of varying sizes, again fights he won, and there's room for plenty more. His body is also riddled with scars that are often hidden in his wolf form, these reflect his bestial fighting style. Needless to say his human form is as physically intimidating as his wolf form.

Personality: Kha'Ri is a levelheaded warrior with several years of experience behind him. Not usually the one to start the fight, he will end it, and the end is usually fast and brutal. To provoke him into making the first move would mean that someone/something else was being taken advantage of or abused. He earned his nickname 'War Hound' because of his brutality in battle. While levelheaded in everyday life, once the adrenaline runs through his system and the rush of battle overcomes him, for it to come to an end would mean death for one party or the other. In battle he ignores his physical well being, charging forward, never side-stepping or backing down. Kha'Ri can take orders, but only for so long, he often grows tired of a particular heirarchy, and often makes the choice to leave whomever he is working for in search of someone or something far more interesting.

History: Kha'Ri was born during a foul storm, he was the only one out of his litter to survive. His life as a pup was surviving these foul storms that filled that winter of his birth year, a feat that his parents had failed. It wasn't the horrific weather that took his parent's lives, somehow his father had managed to bring down the wrath of some clan or another, the details Kha'Ri knew little of. How he'd managed to live where his mother and father had not, remains a mystery to him. What details he knew he'd gathered later in his life, his earliest memory was running with a pack of mercenaries. They saw promise in him, he was only about a year old when they accepted him into their folds. He was taught the art of war by the different members, individual combat, fighting multiple enemies, ambush, tactics in general. They never were able to break him of his blundering fighting style, though they tried, and it inevitably cost a few their lives. The first two he ever killed were in his own pack. One was an older wolf who thought he was foolish and incapable, and the other was a juvenile who thought he was simply better. He proved both wrong. It was after these incidents that he removed himself from the pack and worked merely as a rogue. This is how he has spent the majority of his life bouncing here and there, proving himself time and time again in combat, earning his name with the blood of those who would contest his strength.

Everything looks good, except for the height and weight in human form. Six feet is a major stretch, though I'll accept if you come down to six feet. Also, 260 lb is quite alot. While I do appreciate realistic weights, you may want to revise this to be around 240 (approximately)... to reach a weight like this, your character would have to be extremely fat or extremely muscly.

[Kha'Ri]

It's actually not as much of a stretch at 6'6" realistically. Basketball players who're extremely lean, easily way 210-220. If six feet is a major stretch then why allow a character to be 6'3"? I'll change it, but it takes away from the character is my only point. Since in wolf form he is so much larger than an average dire wolf, which was about five feet in length, the average human is 5'10, in accurate proportion he'd be close to 6'4"-6'6". He IS extremely musclar, but his muscle lacks definition, think Michael Clark Duncan, he doesn't look all that muscular, but the dude's a freakin' ox, hands down. I'll change it though, no worries.

Also, about the mercenary rank... there are requirements to getting that rank. I will allow you do go ahead and keep it this time since we don't already have any,

it would be appreciated if you would join or think of joining a Klan. Even just staying temporalily (due to the mercinary status), would be prefered.

This is Accepted.
Welcome to Only Winter.
