Xanilov Adoption

Character Name: Alarik Xanilov
Design: #5
Gender: Male
Age: Pup (gotta have those fluffy little Xanis)

Personality: In his youth, Alarik is a bit of a dreamer. When he and his siblings tumble around and explore, creating fantasies in their small and yet limitless minds, Alarik is the type to imagine that he is a knight. He climbs the tallest mountains and slays the fiercest dragons. He rescues the fairest princess of all and wins her heart. But most of all, he makes his family proud, and makes them known throughout the land. From the outside, these fantasies are probably pretty amusing to observe, because like most pups Alarik never seems to get used to the disproportionate size of his paws. He is clumsy, but that is understandable. Besides, he always strives to make up for his physical inadequacies by being as sharp as possible mentally. Alarik is that child who always tries to appear composed and a bit superior, using words like "acquaintance" and "epitome" and "indubitably", probably without even knowing what they mean. But hey, at least he'll sound smart.

Beyond all of these things, Alarik will have a big heart. He will be very sweet and loving, especially with his family. And he'll always be up to cuddle, even if he protests a bit to preserve his pride.

– — ADULT PERSONALITY — –

       Intelligent - Though Alarik is quite big and strong, he still considers his most valuable asset to be his mind. He has a thirst for learning, and has since he was born. Through his childhood and into his adult years he will have the ability to learn new things quite easily, and he will always have a very eloquent and articulate way of speaking. This is something he is proud of.

       Ambitious - It is not in his nature to back down; why should he? All his life he has been taught that he belongs to a mighty and awe inspiring line of wolves, and he will strive to be one of them. He will have an amazing sense of determination, especially when it comes to fights and questions of loyalty. Alarik will also be ambitious in the sense that he will always push himself to learn new things and acquire new skills.

       Romantic - Or, perhaps this should say hopeless romantic. Alarik, despite his attempts to hide it, will always be a sensitive soul. He still dreams of rescuing that fair princess and winning her heart, after becoming the hero of his classic tale. Someday he wants to find the perfect woman, and court her fantastically with gifts and breathtaking words and shows of affection. It may take him a few tries, and he may end up with a broken heart or two. But when at last Alarik finds the one, she will want for nothing and feel special every day of her life. He will make sure of it.

       Thoughtful - Rash and impulsive are two words which will never be used to describe this man. He never runs headlong into any important decision, preferring instead to think things through and weigh his options. It is interesting, really, how such an emotional individual could still have such a logical and analytical side. But Alarik really just wants to be responsible, and never wants to make a mistake that might take honor away from him, or worse: his family.

       Chivalrous - Alarik, if nothing else, will always be a knight in shining armor. Especially to women, he will be courteous and kind. He will always be sure to show respect to authority. This was the way he was raised, to be a gentleman while still being strong and unyielding, especially in the face of danger.

Plans: Alarik, from a young age, will understand the importance of his family line and its resilience. He will grow up to want nothing more than to honor the family name, and to see them all go down in history. He will always be the kind of boy to dream big, to hope for glory and a chance to show his courage and his might. As an adult, these dreams will remain, though they will of course become less starry eyed and more rooted in reality. He will want to always be honorable, a gentleman, but never weak. He will want to find a mate for himself so he, too, can bring to the world new and precious life which will then build upon his family tree. He will never be as close to anyone as he is to his family. In the end he will hope to have lived a full life, to have been courageous and kind, and to have left a legacy.

Wow. That got kinda long.
