Appearance Description: At first glance Gryph could easily be mistaken for his father - though taller he retains the same build. He has the build of a hunter, leggy and capable, but he is broad-shouldered and obviously strong. His paws are quite oversized, even when he grows to adulthood. There's a minimum of body fat on this rangy youth, what weight is on him is purely muscle. He is mostly earthen brown in tone, with the same black ears and black stockings his father bore, but the black of his stockings trails up the fronts of his shoulders and hips as it fades into the brown. He also bears the same dark forest green eyes as his sire, but golden brown highlights gleam in the brown of his coat to set him apart, lightly touching the top of his muzzle and cheeks, trailing down his chin and throat and belly, and softly filtering through on his back and sides, seeming to shift as he moves like the soft golden iridescence of an eagle's feathers.
Personality: Gryphon is, by nature, a guardian of those he loves, and though he loves few he is at the heart of it all loyal, and generous, and extremely protective. Protective to the point of being annoying about it, honestly. It might take a serious argument to make him back off, and even then he might still sneak behind your back to continue being protective. He is, after all, quite stubborn. One might even call him hard-headed. It's not that he is stupid, though, far from it. He's sharp as a tack, extremely curious about everything and remarkably intuitive. He just doesn't like to give up on his particular course of action very easily, because of course he's always right. Still, you can always count on him to have your back, to hold up his end of a bargain. His word is good, and he's a sturdy shoulder to cry on if you need it though he's mildly uncomfortable with the sappy stuff. Deep thoughts sure, philosophical questions sure, but once you start getting into the weepy emotional stuff he gets pretty awkward. His biggest flaw, however, stems from the same core as his protective nature. Gryph is extremely possessive - of people, of things, of places. When something's special to him he doesn't like it being infringed on or taken away. He prefers to hoard them to himself, and since he has a bit of a weakness for shiny things that may begin to amount to quite a sizable hoard.
Other: Uhm?
RP Sample: Scuttling sideways around the prickly creature, Gryphon fixed it with a curious, wide-eyed green gaze, one oversized paw inching out to swat at it. Not touching it, though - those spines didn't just look wicked, he already had a pair hanging from his foreleg that hurt like the dickens. He just couldn't bring himself to run away without figuring out what this was, though. It was awfully close to the den, and what if it tried to hurt someone? Well, someone else anyway. He flopped down to his belly and turned his head sideways, staring at it. Well, it didn't have the kind of teeth that a predator had, right? It had weird flat front teeth like mice or rabbits did. That meant it didn't eat meat, right? It ate plants or something. So... he should be able to eat it right? He snaked his paw out again, but snatched it back when it went to smack at him with it's tail. Uuuh maybe not. Maybe if he got his paw under it he could flip it over and kill it? But what if it had spikes on its belly too? Finally, frustrated but still worried it could hurt someone, he turned to the one grown up he'd had real contact with since he got sick. "Mooooooooooom," he called, his throat still hoarse but not interrupted by coughing as he had been so often before. "Moooooooom?" She'd know if it was dangerous to everyone else, right?
