Character Name: Wesson
Design number: 8
Personality:
Wesson would consider himself the family tactician.  Large and well-built, he's a capable fighter when he needs to be, but he prefers to observe, plan and coordinate.  He's a highly intelligent wolf and ordinarily he acts quite rationally, taking time to think out everything he says and does, considering each situation carefully before reacting.  There are a number of times, however, when rationality goes out the window.

For one, Wesson is an attractive brute and he knows it.  He makes sure everyone else knows it, too.  He's extremely arrogant and will often comment on his intelligence or his looks, which either earns him great favor with others or very, very quick enemies.  When it comes to his family and certain friends, Wesson is jealous, overprotective, and possessive.  He is skeptical of anyone and anything new, and if he perceives a newcomer as a threat to any of his close relationships, he will act quite cruel and demeaning toward both the newcomer and the loved one he seeks to "protect."  He can sometimes be emotionally abusive in this way, but is quick to apologize to his family for his behavior.

Faults aside, Wesson is a tremendously loyal wolf to those he loves.  There is nothing he wouldn't do to keep the ones he loves happy and safe. He has a soft spot for all of his siblings and would defend them against even the slightest of insults, regardless of anything they'd done to deserve it.

Appearance:
Vain would be an excellent descriptor for Wesson. He obsesses over his appearance, taking care to make sure he always looks strong and desirable. His thick, brown coat is always meticulously cleaned and has a silky shine. The coloring that runs from his nose down his back to his tail has a lighter brown tone to it while the rest of his body is coated in a brown color that borders on gray. The insides of his ears and signature spots on his forehead are a bold, chocolate hue. He's a massive specimen, measuring forty-two inches tall and boasting a muscular frame. Bright, light aqua-colored eyes stand out dramatically against his darker coloring and normally have a softer look to them, despite their owner's tremendous ego.

Role play sample:
If you don't accept/deny this before I get to it, then one is forthcoming! Just no time left tonight.

Plans:
I am not ashamed to announce that he is inspired by Gaston (with only slightly more tact). He will, of course, be super close to his family but I can see him coming into conflict with some (particularly the females) for being so overbearing. I imagine at some point he will find himself in a relationship but get psycho jealous/emotionally abusive and either a) simply drive her away or b) tick off someone who cares about her and get into a potentially violent confrontation. But who knows?! :)
