Essentials

• Species: Bear looks almost completely dog, likely a mix of various large breeds. His wolf heritage is apparent in the colouration of his back.
• Fur: He's made for cold weather, sporting a thick double coat that sheds slightly during the warm weather. It's soft and downy to the touch, and gets silky around his ears and tail.
  • Optime Hair: He doesn't really have any defined hair – the fur between his ears darkens to a darker shade of gold, and it's longer and wavier than anywhere else, but doesn't really look like “hair.”
• Facial Features: Completely doggish – very blocky and thick-skulled.
• Build and Size: Thick of build and relatively tall, he's no giant, but is quite a bit taller than the average Luperci when in Optime. Most notably, he's broad of chest and limb.
  • Lupus: Medium in height, but with thick, short limbs. He's built longer than great in height. Fur is longest in this form.
  • Optime: Bear's largeness is most noticeable in Optime. He carries himself in a very hulking manner, his shoulders drooping habitually from carrying heavy weight.
• Humanization: Having been raised by canines carrying out human work, Bear is pretty humanized. While he prefers not to wear clothing out of practicality, he enjoys living in human structures and uses human tools. He's also adopted several human habits, such as smoking.

Spirituality

Bear, while not the overly religious type, is Jewish. He follows some of the kosher laws and doesn’t work from Friday night to Satarday night if he can help it. His proficiency with Hebrew goes as far as reading the language and knowing basic prayers and few key phrases that occasionally make it into his every day conversations. The only practice he makes a conservative effort to keep it the mitzvoth, or good deeds, which he tries to do once a day. But Bear doesn’t flaunt his beliefs and prefers to practice his faith in the privacy of his own home.
