The Basics:
Name: Sear
Nickname(s): None have popped into my mind
Age: 26
Gender: Female
Clan: Incendu
Rank: Philosopher
Species: Ignis Lupus
The Details:
Coat: Sear has a very thick, lush coat that is rather too long and insulating for the desert life.
Fur Color: Sear’s pelt is, at the base, a polished black. This darkness fades and subsides into an ashy grey at the legs and fiery paws. Her chest, a vibrant orange, gives her a somewhat sharp, flashy look that she wears quite pompously.
Eye Color: Sear has deep, scarlet eyes that, despite their fiery color, are quite cold and difficult to read.
Markings/Scars: Sear’s thick, somewhat rounded ears are both heavily scarred. Her left ear sports a slash through the middle, leaving it somewhat floppy. The other has a solid chunk out of its side. These markings are made obvious by the flames leaking through, licking at the old injuries.
Build: Sear’s paws are monstrous, supporting thick yet long muscular legs. Her shoulders are broad, and although her body – and tail – is very short lengthwise, this hulking Ignis is quite tall.
Mutations: Fire in ears/around paws
Persona:
Personality: Sear is a wolf who has seen much, experienced pain and grief, and learned from the world in her years. Because of this, she has a passion for discussing both the known and unknown, and is willing to debate with anybody who has proven their intelligence. She is always seeking answers, and knows, deep down, that she can always discover more, and no matter what, there will always be more puzzles to piece back together.
Sear is extremely methodical and precise. She always has a routine and mannerism for nearly anything she does. When working, she goes out of her way to be thorough and, regardless of how strenuous or tedious the job, Sear is sure to give it her best shot. However she does not display this attitude towards everything. Anything she focuses on has to be proven worthy of her efforts, and quite frankly, in Sear’s mind, there are very little subjects eligible for her brainpower.
Due to her somewhat cloudy past, this Ignis always carries the burden of guilt and sorrow on her broad shoulders. She often contemplates life and death, and how her actions – especially her foolish ones – have affected others. Sear doubts her own worth and every aspect of her life relentlessly. In truth, she is extremely confused on what she should and shouldn’t feel, and what she should put her faith in, if at all.
But Sear feels that showing these weaknesses and doubts will only make her vulnerable. Therefore, regardless of what she is feeling inside, she almost always has a mask of indifference and arrogance upon her features. If she portrays herself to not care and be confident, then she won’t be bothered quite as much.
Sear is somewhat sarcastic and sharp-tongued. She isn’t against social interaction, and will often butt into other peoples’ conversations just because she can. This doesn’t mean she is welcome in conversations and groups, because despite her willingness to communicate, she doesn’t know when to give up or take a hint. She is terse and blunt and can be painfully honest, and with her shield, she has a rather negative demeanor.
(This is basically it. I’ll probably add more soon, but for now… Good enough. –shrug- I feel like she's largely incomplete right now, but hopefully she'll do.)
History: Coming soon…
To theaters near you! –coughcough- Couldn’t resist, sorry.
Weaknesses/Strengths: Sear is quite clumsy and slow, physically. If chasing down prey or another wolf, she will almost always fall behind, or, even worse, trip or slip. She is built more as a tank than a sprinter. She has great endurance and strength, but has painfully dull reflexes when she has obstacles in front of her. Sear’s forte is really in thinking – in that arena she is, in her not-so-humble opinion, superior.
In addition to being inept at almost all things with speed and agility, Sear has almost no sense of smell. She can not pick up aging scents or even distant ones for the life of her, and therefore is an extremely poor hunter if out in the forests. Sear relies on her keen ember-like eyes and sharp hearing to capture prey in the deserts.
(Mental shortcomings are mostly in personality)
Talents:
Habits: Sear has a bad habit of pacing whenever under great stress. Another quirk of hers is when she begins to think deeply and feverously; Sear will often become oblivious to all that is around her, and retreat deep into the recesses of her mind, forgetting everything but the puzzle of the moment. She may also disturb other wolves when she looks into their eyes; Sear means this not as a sign of dominance, but rather respect for what they are saying. Whenever she speaks – or is spoken to – Sear will look directly into the other wolf’s eyes. Sometimes she may appear to be staring, however unintentional, and can bother others with her deep red glare.
