Ruskin, the Misfit

[Ruskin]

-Basics-
Name: Ruskin
Species: Dire Wolf
Gender: Male
Age: 2 years
Height: 4.9 FT
Weight: N/A
Original Pride/Pack: Chicotah
Pride/Pack: N/A (Marauder at the moment)
Parents: Perished in combat for rank
Siblings: N/A
Mate: N/A
Spawn: None

-Appearance-

His right eye no longer functions, a large scar running through it vertically. Additionally, thousands of smaller scars, varying in size and type, cover his body.
His grey fur is speckled with white spots, and seems to often be matted with blood. His build is slightly larger than the average Chicotah, though he is not
by any means fat. The strength reflected in his form is more than enough to intimidate, but not enough to ascend to a position of true power.

-Personality-

Though usually peaceful, there is an innate hatred that resides inside Ruskin. He does not know who to direct this toward, and has felt he was meant for conflict
since his memory first began to form. This hate surfaces only in times of need or exceptional rage.

-History-

As a pup, his parents perished in combat for rank, hence he never knew them. As such, the pack collectively raised him, treating him as the pack's omega. Not
a month ago, he ran from them after being beaten within an inch of his life. While he was, metaphorically, the 'punching bag' of the pack, he was known to hold
his own in a fight. This is why he managed to escape alive. At the moment, he wanders far outside his pack's territory for the first time, seeking a place to call
his new home, and allies to make along the way.

Oh dear... we have a few problems to sort out first....

1] Height: A grey wolf cannot be as large as a Chicotah, Grey wolves only average about the same as a Whiteback... a max of maybe an Aryian....

2] Original pack: I don't believe he can have originally come from the Chicotah pack but I may be wrong. [Also Chicotah is no longer accepting members at this time in case you were planning to bring him there]

3] Appearance: Again, a grey wolf isn't larger than a Chicotah, in this world the grey wolf is pretty small in comparison to the other wolf species.

4] History: The history may have to be redone... Again this is only if you can't have the character's original pack as Chicotah.

At least revise #1 and #3 because these are what concern me the most and you may have to wait for another staff member to help you out for the other two I mentioned...

[Ruskin]

Thanks ^.^
You probably saved me from getting pretty well slapped right there... What do you think of the modification to species? Also, would it really be that big of a probably if that pack was merely a part of his origin? (there will be no affiliation between Ruskin and that pack if at all possible... aside from his blood) Once again, thanks.

Ahh... you're welcome. The modification is better to accommodate with the height because we do have a 6.1 ft dire wolf here... I'm still unsure of the origin part, you'll have to wait for another to comment on that one because I'm not that good of a staff member XD [Yes I'm part of the staff team on another account called Nighteye]

[Lilah]

Sounds alright to me ^_^
But I ... already posted in your Aryian thread so... >_> kind of hard to object now huh? ^_^; eh heh
Toksyc may need to give a double thumbs up, but I personally don't see a problem.
-shrugs-

[Ruskin]

Sweet ^.^
Was pretty worried there for a sec... Not that this character's "out of the woods" yet, so-to-speak, but at least a bit closer. Thanks!

No worries mate
Look forward to RPing.

[Delgnat]

Well, it's fine to me. But Kein may need to double check it. Taco's away for a while but it looks fine to me.

[Crip]

Oookay. First off, Random, stop going off talking about my characters when you barely know any thing about them. -_- Crip is 6'1 because he is a DIRE WOLF. I researched on dire wolves and there approximate height was 6'0 or such. So don't go boasting about unless your in the right position to do it.

[Lilah]

Okay o.o; Settle down everyone.
I personally can't see how a wolf could be six foot tall but six foot in length, yes... perhaps this is the miscommunication...?

[Crip]

Actually, it's my mistake. It's five feet tall. >> Must have read wrong. But still. Don't critisize me unless you know what you're talking about.

I'm sorry but I don't see how this is a problem. I did say your character was a dire wolf and I wasn't critisizing it. I simply said this because Ruskin's character was larger than he was suppose to be for his original species, which happened to be a grey wolf.

[Lilah]

It doesn't matter honey.
It was a miscommunication, and it's easy to misinterpret what is said over the internet.
... -throws some love at both of you and scurries away- o.o

[Toksyc]

Well well, our first real problem. But I shall sort this out.

As many have already stated, there isn't a wolf larger than the Chicotah other than a Dire wolf, and that's even rare. Dires were actually a bit short. Some were as small as gray wolves, some were pretty damn big. It just really depended on exactly where they lived.
Just keep in mind no wolf is larger than a human on all fours. so a 6 ft wolf would be out of the question. Ligers are hardly even that tall on two legs.

So, the only thing I see as a problem anymore is the past. I have no objections to him being in the Chicotah pack in the past, but as of current, joining there is a no because of so many members there and so little anywhere else. You could RP there either way as a stranger, but if you were to join a pack, you'd have to look elsewhere.

It's all good though, now =3
