Adult Height: 45”

Design: 

Appearance:

Coat: Iska is characterized by a blend of dark and light fur. The primary color of his coat is a deep, charcoal black, interrupted with lighter gray markings. Most distinctively, vibrant turquoise and blue streaks run along his body. These bright markings stand out against the darker backdrop, giving him an otherworldly quality. 

Build: He has a sleek yet muscular build, suggesting both agility and strength. His movements are fluid and graceful, indicative of a creature that is both a powerful predator and a nimble explorer. His legs are long and sturdy, capable of swift and enduring runs, while his body is lean with defined musculature, suggesting a balance between speed and power. A demi-god in the making.

Posture: His posture is confident and commanding. He holds his head high, ears perked forward, and shoulders squared, exuding an air of authority and vigilance. His stance is relaxed yet ready, always prepared to react swiftly to any situation.

Eyes: His piercing blue eyes are not just visually striking but also deeply expressive. They often reflect sharp intelligence and observation, constantly scanning his surroundings. There's a depth to his gaze that suggests wisdom and experience, making it hard for anyone to hide their true intentions from him. He reads you, and everything you do — because he wants to know why you do it; always.

Voice: His voice is a deep, resonant baritone with a smooth, commanding rumble. It carries a melodic quality, rich and soothing yet firm and assertive. 

Scent: His distinctive scent is reminiscent of a crisp, winter morning. There are notes of fresh pine needles and cool, frosty air, mingled with a hint of earthiness. The scent is both calming and invigorating, leaving a lasting impression on those who encounter him.

Personality:

Regal/Compassionate: From an early age, Iskandor carries himself with an air of royalty, embodying the dignity expected of a Fatalis. His posture is always upright, his gaze steady and commanding, and he instinctively knows how to conduct himself in a manner befitting his noble lineage. He exudes a natural authority that commands respect from those around him. But he is also his mother's son. Taking after Ignita, Iskandor shows a gentle and friendly disposition, valuing connections and empathy within his pack. He is often the first to offer a comforting word or a helping paw to those in need, and he takes great joy in fostering strong bonds with his family and packmates.

Curious/Obsessive: Iskandor possesses a sharp intellect and a relentless curiosity, always eager to explore and learn about the world around him. He is particularly fascinated by the histories and traditions of his family, often found engrossed in stories of old or investigating the relics of his heritage. He is equally fascinated by the tales of other families and packs, seeking to know all that he can in his lifetime. Good or bad history, he wants to lock it into his memory forever more.

Determined/Stubborn: Like Basilisk, Iskandor has a strong will and determination, especially when it comes to protecting his family and pack. He is unwavering in his commitments and faces challenges head-on with a steadfast resolve. Whether it's defending his pack from threats or achieving a personal goal, Iskandor's determination is a driving force in his life. Immovable. Indomitable.

Strategic/Composed: Iskandor has an inherent knack for strategy, always trying to think several steps ahead in any situation, ensuring the best outcome. He is adept at analyzing complex scenarios and devising effective plans, whether in times of peace or conflict. He tends to be quiet, often preferring to listen and observe rather than speak. This does not stem from shyness but rather from a thoughtful nature. He carefully considers his words and actions, understanding the weight they carry. His silence is often mistaken for aloofness, but those who know him well understand it is a sign of his deep contemplation.

Imperfect/Volatile:  While Iskandor generally maintains a balanced demeanor, he has a habit of exhibiting darker tendencies when under too much pressure or emotional distress. In moments of intense stress, his steady and compassionate facade can crack, revealing a more ruthless and aggressive side. This darker aspect of his personality manifests as an unyielding drive to eliminate threats and/or assert control, sometimes leading him to make harsh decisions that he later reflects upon with regret.

Intended plots / other:

I imagine him being diplomatic, taking an interest in the workings of the Armada and its relationships with other packs. He’d like to help his mother and father with their duties, though maybe as a sort of right hand or an advisor in the future; depending on how worldly he becomes. He’s the slightly strange, silent and observant type for the most part, but pretty manic about his pursuit of knowledge. Probably ties in with his insatiable curiosity, he’ll wanna know everything there is to know - like a walking library, beware: info dumps will be imminent. I think it would be funny if he gets his nose into some books and just says the weirdest facts at random. It’ll be an obsession, and I think it’s a pretty good one to have. I could foresee it having a dangerous edge when he’s older though, like there’s nothing he wouldn’t do at least once just to know what it’s all about.

I can see him being a sort of warrior prince type when he’s not being a massive scholar, driven to prove himself and uphold his family’s name in more ways than one. I reckon it’s gonna be important to him to try and be a Jack of all trades. I may change his skills to fighting and intel so he can eventually professor it up, or I’ll keep him hunter; I haven’t decided yet! He may develop an inner monologue of just “I should have known that. I need to know that. I need to know. I have to know.” Hopefully that doesn’t sound super crazy XD I just know he'll be obsessive and compulsive to a great degree.

Above all I’m gonna let him develop organically, so whatever interactions he’ll have or experiences can completely diverge what I THINK he’ll be like. I can pretty well promise I’m not gonna go to the dark side with him though.
