Name: Cobalt "Coby" Bade(?)
Gender: Male
Alignment: Chaotic Good

Appearance: Design 2, but I've changed the eye color to a steel-blue to explain his name: click

36" - 140 lbs
His tall skeleton sets the perfect canvas for his lean physique, dulled edges of his dusty coat usually unkempt and flaring from around his neck and hind-quarters to give him the wild appearance of a traveler. His posture is usually calm and relaxed, his tail often free-hanging while his spine is kept level for comfort rather than a need to display his dominance. His steel-blue eyes set the focal point of his strong jawed visage, usually lit by his upbeat spirit and boldly wandering to those around him. Due to his wit and quick thinking, not many scars should mar him other than those that he inflicted upon himself, which are scattered little knicks across his forearms. Beneath the beautiful disarray of his almost always in-shed pelt lies a strong set of shoulders and a lean and muscular build. He is not bulky, there is a sleekness to his muscles that define him more for stamina and agility rather than brute force.

Personality: I did a few rolls to come up with a personality base for Cobalt. I'm very pleased because while Vadim will grow up to be aggressive and a bit corrupted, I wanted a male that was the polar opposite of that. Here is what I have come up with for Cobalt so far.

Quote:Primary Motivator: Achievement. To overcome obstacles and succeed, to become the absolute best at everything he does. Highly competitive when faced with a challenge because of this.

Emotional Disposition: Calm, often trying to keep the peace and relax those around him as well. Coming from a loving family core, he often tries to keep love present in all that he does.

Moodiness: Labile. Although his default moods are often calm, his happiness is easily changed or altered. He's able to respond quickly and spontaneously in situations that call for it, quick-witted but easily broken down or displaced if he can not accomplish the goals he has set for himself or if he can not keep peace. In other words, emotionally unstable but passionate.

Outlook: Optimistic. He is an idealist, confident and hopeful about the outcomes he predicts. He trusts easily, he remains upbeat and has a tendency to try to inspire and motivate those around him to feel the same.

Integrity: Conscientious. He is honest, reponsible and industrious. He's word is his bond and he is devoted to see his promises out. I aspire for him to be a notable member of Ivalice.

Impulsiveness: Controlled. He remains focused, keeps a steady pace and prefers to make plans when he has the time rather than simply act. He views acting on impulse as childish and tries to keep a responsible head above his shoulders.

Boldness: Cautious. Although vigilant, he can sometimes be tentative due to his confidence in being able to predict the outcome of situations. When out of his comfort zone he can become quite timid and nervous.

Agreeableness: Disagreeable. He can be somewhat narrow-minded, due to his confidence in his morals. Anything that opposes them will be immediately dismissed.

Interactivity: Engaging. He's talktative, entertaining and a candid member of his family and pack. He will be very outgoing and eager to to meet those around him. He will enjoy lending an ear or offering advice, aspiring to be an inspiring intellectual.

Conformity: Heterodox. Although he is bound to the laws of Ivalice it is because he agrees with them wholly. He is free-thinking outside of that, and will not hesitate to place confidence in his own thoughts rather than the thoughts of others. This at times will make him a bit shocking and rebellious if anyone were to try to threaten his beliefs.

Sense of Humor: Dry. He says funny things with a serious expression and his humor is often dark or sarcastic. It's very difficult to tell when he is joking or not as there is very little change to his attitude and the jokes are delivered without any punchline.

Topics of Conversation: Skills. Right now I am thinking that this will be Intellect and Navigation. He is very achievement driven as stated above, when bored he will often seek ways to strengthen his skillsets with others, be it a planned trip or a deep discussion.

Religion and Spirituality: He is a non-believer of anything relating to spirituality and intolerant to most other's religious beliefs. Growing up in Ivalice, he will not have much exposure to any talk of Gods and the like.. so others that he meet that might be spiritual or superstitious will often be seen with a lesser intellect than himself.

Habits: Self-inflicted pain, bone cracking, climbing, and 'singing'. When he is unable to achieve something that he wanted to accomplish, he will punish himself harshly by either training past his body's limitations or outright inflicting pain on himself in someway. This could result in several scars up his forearms. During conversation, shoulder popping and bone cracking of some sort will be common to show his relaxed state of mind. When exploring, he will often seek the highest vantage points and climb them, eager to see all that is surrounding him. When traveling, it's common for him to hum or howl with lyrical intent to keep himself entertained and his presence known to any possible encounters that might be in his vicinity.

Hobbies: Bird watching, collecting, and racing. While navigating, it is to be expected that he would study the stars and weather patterns but he also enjoys studying the type of birds in each territory and their habits. He believes that birds will be the first to tell them of storms or if anything is out of place in the territory and even collects twigs and other nesting material to give them on his travels. He also enjoys collecting feathers, rocks, bones or branches from places of interest through-out his life and will carry them home to his den as a sort of wolven 'scrap-booking'. He prides himself on his speed and agility so will often challenge others to a race to keep things exciting, never getting tired of a good run.

Mental Disability: Borderline Bipolar. Although he is generally calm, he can have triggered manic and depressive episodes according to what is going on in the situation. Gained achievements will cause him to be ecstatic and smiley, while failure will send him on boughts of depression. Both mood swings can last several days.

That's all for his personality so far, but I think it all comes together for a finely tuned character that I will very much enjoy roleplaying. He's got motivation, a few quirks, and a sense of humor similar to my own. This mixed with his loving upbringing will make him a wonderful character to portray!

Plans: I want to use him to spark some friendly activities in Ivalice, to bring people together and to have enjoyable and friendly competitions and exploration adventures. He is a product of love, and for love he will live.

Roleplay sample: Vadim and Ramsay sneaking out, I'm sort of new so sorry there aren't many examples!


Edit; Also, I did a thing.


Editedit; And another one, but this one is just a WIP ;3; I wanted to finish it before the 10th rolled around but I think this is all I have in me for now. I still have to add his lighter undertones and detail the paws. If I do not get accepted, it's no big deal; I can recolor these for another character, but it was good practice!
