Out-of-Character Name: Lolaf
Character's Name: Crux
Adult Height: 41"
Size: Extra Large
Gender: Male
Build: Light
Appearance Description: Design

Crux looks more imposing than he really is. As an adult, he will stand an impressive 41 inches tall, though probably not all the impressive considering much of his family. While his height is clearly influenced by his father he takes after his mother more in the rest of his build. Crux is a slender wolf, limbs appear long and slender while the rest of him has a sort of roundness that takes the edge off of what would otherwise be a potential threat in his height.

This softer roundness is absolutely in part because of his pelt, Crux is wrapped in a thick coat. He is mostly covered in a dark black color which fades ever so slightly lighter towards the top of his back and the bottom of his belly and legs. But he's more than just that. Crux's dark pelt is broken up by an off-white color that marks his toes, running up the back of his forelegs, as well as marking the top of his muzzle, in a stripe down his chin and his left eye in a tell-tale claw-like marking that shows his lineage clearly upon his face. A darker grey cream color dots just slightly above the white on his paws, this color dapples along his chest and runs along his underbelly, and the tip of his tail is also dipped in this color. A more grey color of cream markes the tips of his ears and flecks along his back just behind his shoulders. Finally, a familiar green coloration also flecks along his back, blazes up from his nose, and marks his rump in another very familiar marking.

A pair of ivory sabres protrude from his lips, curving gently backwards, the tips of them marked in the same green as his nose.

A pair of steel blue eyes sits in Crux's skull... Always watching.

Personality: There's a certain weight that comes from being born as Crux was, into a family of strong warriors and leaders, son to the founding Warlord. But if Crux has ever felt the pressure he's never really showed it. Crux knows he breaks the mold a bit but he doesn't seem to mind it too much, the boy has never had much an inclination towards violence, while he certainly understands the value in knowing how to defend one's self but he's not motivated by it much beyond that. No, Crux would struggle to hurt a fly unless in self-defense, at least physically. No one said anything about psychic damage. Crux's tongue will be sharper than his claws, even as a child he'll prove himself an astute one, able to soak things in and internalize information and then turn it around with a sort of ease that many grown adults would struggle with. Not that he tries to be mean or anything, he's just realized words are his primary weapon, but he's just as capable of using his mind for a well-timed joke or a comforting comment. In all he's usually pretty good-natured, knowing when it's the right time to step back to let others have their time and when it's time to step up to the plate, he's a team player without being too show-boaty about it.

As he grows older Crux will really finally find his place when he starts to explore the natural world around him, the possibilities of herbology and how he can help those around him will snap into place. Crux desires to fully grasp all the possibilities of how he can help or hurt others with these skills, he can often be found muttering to himself about any given hypothesis he has and will take any willing test subject he can get, though not without their permission first. He's driven to truly master his craft, and dreams of one day discovering a brand new species of flora, and is more than willing to range a field to do so if need be.

Or he would be if he still didn't feel a strong connection to his family. He does all he does to be of use to them... Okay so maybe he has felt that pressure a bit, though he certainly doesn't let it show Crux is aware of the fact that he's got big shoes to fill and doesn't quite fit the expected mold, he doesn't feel the pressure to conform, after all, he appreciates his family for who they are and can only hope they feel that way about him, still better not be found slacking.

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Skills: Healing and Navigation
Mutations: Saber Fangs (Have a Mut Inheritance Pass, plan to use it regardless of cursed litter outcomes)
Disability: Preference of yes (But built Crux so he can exist with or without it and willing to play him regardless)
Themed Mutation or Disability:

Possible Mutation: Crystalline spurs that sprout from the top of his hocks and his elbows.

Possible Disability: Crystals that grow from the joint of his right hind ankle, it pierces the skin of his ankle and cuffs the back of his leg to just below the hock of the leg. Due to the growth being on the bone the movement in that ankle is limited, giving the boy a permanent limp, though he is still able to move and hold his weight on that leg. (Visually think of a leg brace, he can walk and put weight on it but because of the limited movement has a limp/has to lift the leg to the side to move it properly, functionally because it is growing in the space where his joints would move it is the *reason* he has a limp)

Intended plots / other: Mostly up to IC but I see him as sort of a black sheep at least amongst the established family but overall still eager to prove himself, but only under his own terms. Probably stick close to family but often be out trying to find new plants or to replenish his stores to do more experiments. Long term would want to aim for Trauma Specialist.
