Appearance:
Cassius is a average sized Jindo male with a long slender body. His type of breed is known as the Hudo Jindo which tend to have longer ears, legs and tail as well as a leaner body then the Tonggol counterpart. His chest is deep and squared but not too broad and somewhat slender shoulders. His body type is well built for running and carries a good amount of muscle within his legs.Personality:
The fur of this male is that of a silvery white and is short but surprisingly thick. Stretching from his cheeks, snaking his way down his neck and all along his body are strange, intricate markings that are a very light blue and nearly invisible against his fur. However, they can easily be seen when night approaches as these markings seem to glow in the dark, especially when the moon shines. These marks are actually what humans would consider tattoos. When Cassius was a slave to a group of nomadic wolves, they had marked upon his body with their nails and the healer colored the scars in with a special dye. On the tips of his ears, the tip of the tail and the backs of his legs one may notice tan blotches marking those areas, a common trait for the white jindo dogs.
The eye color of this male are of the purest honey color which appear to be warm and inviting, but on closer inspection, one can see the cold sadness dwelling behind the amber orbs.
When first stumbling across Cassius, one may find him to be slightly reserved, cocky, and perhaps even angry. This male truly is a mixture of many emotions and usually does a damn good job of masking what he is really thinking. Sadly such a mask most often makes him appear either dreadfully bored and monotone, or deadly serious or even angered.History:
If you are a total stranger to Cassius, be warned, he will be very wary and even show hostility, however the hostility isn't always so easy to detect for his monotone voice hides the emotion.
If he is aquainted with you, he may speak a few words before moving about his buisness. He finds small talk to be awkward, and prefers to not be sucked up into enduring conversations with others unless he knows them well.
If you know Cassius quite well, the male will actually have a small decent conversation. However, the monotone in his voice still remains unless you hold a special place in his mind. No matter what it seems like all Cassius does is hide his voice behind the emotionless tone. Again, he prefers for others to not know what he is thinking or how he feels unless he truly wants them to. The only emotion he lets slip out is his anger, which sadly he can be very foul tempered. One can know if he is in a bad mood by his constant jerky fidgeting and the twitching of his left ear.
That's another thing about Cassius. He can never stay still nor hold himself in a prim and proper stature. His shoulders are always hunched, his head lowered a bit and his tail either quirked behind his back or straight towards the ground. Cassius also seems to sway about in an almost jerky fashion, as if he were waiting for someone to sneak up on him and attack.
Now, getting back to his temper. If you are to engage Cassius while he is angered, you had better be prepared for a serious tongue lashing...thankfully, half the time you cannot understand what he is saying, for he had learned to speak an entirely new language while with the wolves, and he often times swears in such a language. On some occassions, -if you are a male- Cassius will turn and strike out in anger, finding that fighting brings a bit of release and even calms him a bit.
Above it all, Cassius can actually be a very devoted dog and will never sever his loyalty with his pack. He would even give his life for his pack-mates if it came down to it. The male can be a true friend, so long as you can slip past his facade and figure him out.
Cassius can not truly recall his origins nor about his family. His past is a mystery to him, all except one particular memory; the tattoos. He could remember wolves surrounding him, speaking to him, making him their pet in a sense. Then the pain, the agony of their nails against his flesh, carving their markings into his being, branding him as a slave of the wolves.Theme Song: Feed the Machine - Red, Fenris's Theme - Inon Zur
Other then that, he knew nothing of the past. His entire life, he had been enslaved to a nomadic pack of wolves. Cassius had been forced to work alongside the wrethed creatures, having to fight for them, hunt, send messages, and all that. He loathed them, but he could not escape without being tracked down again. For a time, the brute bided his time, waited for the perfect chance to escape his bonds, but such a time did not happen till nearly three years of captivity. And during his enslavement, he had been harrassed and hounded on every night by not only his master Danarius, but his apprentice Hadrianna as well. He hated them, and wished nothing but pain and suffering on their souls.
One night, Cassius finally braved his way from the nomadic tribe of wolves and fled as far as he could. For months he had been tracked and nearly brought back into slave life, and many a time he was so close to returning to a world in which he so despised. During an ambush, Cassius managed to defend himself and bring down Hadrianna in the process. All was left was Danarius, but Cassius had never been able to track down the old wolf. One day, he would find him, and bring his revenge upon his former master.
In the recent months, Cassius let himself wander into the mountains, skidding by the nearby wolf pack and stumbling across the Mafia. Lucianna took him in, and in return Cassius served his adopted pack loyally, and to this day, one may find the Jindo wandering the mountain, patrolling, watching, waiting.
