This. Is. Sparta!

Name: Apollinaris Galanis (Apollo; pale blue)
Gender: Male
Design:
**Would change his eyes to ice blue if that's okay
Physical Description: A beast of a man, Apollinaris is tall and muscled. His large paws grip the earth with a familiarity of a warrior in tune with his surroundings. Though solid, he is light on his paws with quick movements. It's obvious he is at one with himself, his years of training allowing him to learn his body. His face is handsome and angular, his strong jawline cutting an imposing image yet his features are extremely expressive. Ice blue eyes watch closely, yet his charm often belies what is behind that gaze. The base of his coat is a steel blue cut through with dove gray, arctic white, and coal in various flecking and stripes. Each leg is dipped in white, giving way to gray midway. The coal speckles his gray cheeks and muzzle, while white and gray blaze from the base of his eyes and up his forehead.
Alignment: Ranges from Lawful to Chaotic Neutral; truly depends on his company and the matter at hand. Profile would say True Neutral.
Skills: Fighting and Hunting (might change to Intellect or Navigation depending on his feel IC)
Personality: Groomed from a young age like every other Spartan, Apollinaris was destined to become the greatest warrior. His father, a prominent warrior himself, pushed his first born son to become exactly like him. For the most part, Apollinaris succeeded; he is fierce, loyal, bloodthirsty in battle, intelligent on and off the battlefield, and quite prideful. A couple traits that were absent in his father or much more prominent in the son are his vanity, pompousness, ego, and self-righteousness. Having been groomed since birth, these traits were bound to show up eventually - praise is a huge motivator, as is disappointment. To see his father's thin lips turn to a frown or worse was like sticking a spike into the son's heart - and his ego. As such, Apollinaris grew up with much hubris and did not make many friends. But, that was alright - where you needed friends most is the battlefield, and every Spartan naturally takes care of their own there, of all places. Shed of his warrior's mantle, the man can very much take care of himself and still continues to strive to be the very best. He is often pushing his fellow hunters to go after prey that is much too large or aggressive for a safe hunt, wanting to push the boundaries of what he can and can't do. The thrill of the hunt very much sings in his blood.
The man's reflexes aren't the only thing that is quick - his tongue is silver-edged with a hidden bite. He absolutely loves to poke fun at others, sometimes to the point of near-bullying, and he can take it almost as well as he gives. A battle of wits is also entertaining to him, finding weaknesses in his opponent's mind like in combat. However he would hate to make a real enemy; that would be one less person to adore his triumphs. So instead of driving one to the edge, Apollinaris will simply push and pull along that line. He is mostly insincere with his words, seeing most interactions as just passing time that has no real effect on his life. It's hard to say what would happen if he had to face something serious head-on.
General plans: He wants to be the star warrior of the clan, and will often volunteer for fights and missions where others think it foolish. He loves the spotlight, so anything to get him noticed he will readily do. Rise in the ranks of the Spartans and become an important figure in the pack/band. Being named after the God of War comes with a price - he dreads failure and will develop a complex surrounding that; is he really that brave or is he doing it to impress? With his chaste yet flirtatious nature, really wish to get him involved in a heart wrenching plot where he knows/believes his duty is to produce strong warriors so he will gladly (maybe secretly not so gladly) marry to further the Spartan cause, but will pine for someone he actually loves. Or if that plot doesn't come to fruition, have a slow burn romance that starts off as friendly rivalry and morphs into something else, but he refuses to acknowledge his feelings believing he needs to serve his clan first and foremost. In the end, I want him to eventually be happy and make me feel just ooey gooey - big strong warrior man putty in someone else's paws. PS I don't see him falling for a non-spartan.
Interested in plot?: I volunteer him as tribute to serve as a rival for any lady (or man for that matter) in plot #3. ALSO if he gets accepted and anyone would like to be a brother of his, LET ME KNOW ;D Need some brotherly rivalry. His brother would need to be the blue-gray color with ice blue eyes. Saw a couple adopts that would fit the bill ;) Would also be down if someone wanted to play his dad. Hit me up in discord if you wanna plot!
