Synopsis |
BODHI DEL BOSQUE (BO-dee dell BAHSK) was born into Palisade after a short tryst between his mother Raven Sinclaire & father Juleo del Bosque alongside his siblings Alister del Bosque?, Bodhi del Bosque, Colt del Bosque, Dakoda del Bosque?, In an attempt to earn their mothers love when they were little, they tried to earn it by taking interest in the good things that their uncle told them about her. They learned a lot from her in ways, but also grew to resent their situation. Never doing anything without the other they both decided to head off to Del Cenere in order to figure out who they were supposed to be without living in their mothers shadow and being the toy to her whims of displeasure. Their other siblings had stayed from what Bodhi and Colt knew, it did not matter as they only ever relied on each other and always felt like outcasts to their large, dishevelled family unit. Colt and Bodhi are usually known as the twins to those that don't know there is a third brother that looks identical to them. (See OOC Assumptions)

Bodhi was born alongside his five other siblings, one who was stillborn to Raven Sinclaire and Juleo del Bosque, the latter who knew nothing of their relation in the beginning. The former wanted nothing to do with them once they were weaned. Rembrandt Sinclaire took the kids under his wing when they were just shy of two months old when he realized that Raven had reverted once again to her old ways and they had been borderline neglected. That’s when he renamed them as their mother had just called them A, B, C, D, and E. Not that she ever got the three boys who were all identical in appearance right.
As Bodhi and Colt grew they did attempt to keep up some type of a relationship with their mother out of desperation to seek her approval, which was most likely a survival instinct until they no longer needed her. Once they were able to fend for themselves they tried not to bother their uncle too much and always leaned heavily on each other instead. They had somewhat of a relationship with their older brother Cassidy Sinclaire and admired him for some time, but he too disappeared from their lives when he returned to the Gang to find a life for himself when the kids were just about to turn five months old.
When the boys were about seven months old and had already shifted they wanted to set out on their own and see if they could make something of themselves. They left only a note behind, explaining that they would return in time and that they would be fine and off they went exploring south and west of Palisade.
The harsh realities of their new life quickly tempered their spirits, molding them into resourceful and cunning teens. With nowhere to turn and no one to turn to, the brothers honed their skills, becoming adept at stealth and subterfuge, learning to navigate the world that lay before them. They discovered the power of deception using their identical appearances to their advantage and realized that it could be their greatest weapon in a world where trust was a scarce commodity. This did not come without failure though as they had been young and naïve about how far they could go. Bodhi had been caught attempting to steal medicine and bandages to help Colt after he got in a fight and lost. Due to their age, they were able to negotiate their release with the shop keeper by working off what they owed for a couple of weeks.
Their uncanny resemblance and shared knowledge allowed them to manipulate and exploit their adversaries. Bodhi and Colt found themselves drawn to the world of con artistry and trickery, using their skills to swindle and deceive those who would seek to take advantage of them. This did not come without trouble though and saw a great deal of failures before they were able to hone their skills. Still they are not masters of their trade, just enough to help them survive. They moved around, attempting to get in and out of whatever area they were trying to swindle.
Over the course of their short career they had gotten caught a number of times, having to resort to paying off their captors or working off their debts through it all. Thus, the boys were never really able to accumulate any kind of wealth. Just enough to survive and move on to where they did not know their names or faces. Finally, Colt had gotten caught red-handed with the missus of a high ranking member of a small rivaling gang. He had been marked for death. No amount of sweet talking or offerings was getting him out of it. So Bodhi decided from the shadows that he needed to jail break his brother.
Unknown to them, Colt had a partner, and with only a single guard on him, Bodhi knocked the guard out, releasing his brother and they went on the run understanding they would need to give a wide birth to the south as sketches went up around the neighbouring towns of their face with a bounty on their heads. Bodhi and Colt carved out a unique niche for themselves, but due to the circumstances they fled to Palisade after a long fifteen months of being on their own.
Upon their arrival they were greeted by their sister and uncle, and learned about their ailing mother who was dealing with the side effects of a long life of smoking and drinking. The woman was a shadow of herself. Wracked with guilt, Bodhi decides to end his mother's suffering and smothers her with a pillow in the dead of night before slipping back into his own room leaving his family to discover her the next day. Believing she had died of natural causes, Bodhi left it at that, but Colt had a knowing look in his eye.
After her funeral, they stuck around and supported their family and got to reunite with their brother Cassidy who was back. He had told them stories about all of his exploits in Del Cenere proper, the pair were instantly drawn there in hopes of creating a name and legacy for themselves... as well as getting as far away as possible from the chaos they had created down South.
1. Characteristics
1.1 Appearance
General Physical Appearance |
While being a coyote heavy hybrid, there are some differences in Bodhi’s pelt that reflects the mixed dog breeds that muddy his genetics. At first glance he does appear more doggish, most notably in size and musculature. His head and muzzle are thicker, boxier than a coyote, but still has that characteristically pointed feature to it. His eyes are wide and friendly looking, even if he may be anything but. His eyes carry the same molten lava color that he shared with his mother. His fur is primarily a burnt sienna color that lightens a little around his belly, ears, cheeks, and hocks. There is some variation to the color amongst his pelt, but there is a stark contrast to the black that his face is dipped in, flowing down his throat before tapering off. This same black can be found in his ears, as a muddled saddle over his shoulders, along the thick fur on his back ends and the last half of the bottom of his tail to the tip. It can also be found along the tops of his forelegs. His fur pattern speaks a lot to his dog heritage, especially in the thick, lush coat that encircles around his neck, and down his chest, thick along his elbows, hocks and tail. He is tall and willowy when in lupus, but still with a masculine musculature. He fills out more when in secui, a lot more powerful than when he is in lupus. While in optime, he is on the taller side for a coyote, definitely nothing to write home about in comparison to most wolves. He has lean muscle that is evident, but is not bulky, built more for speed and stealth than brute strength. While in optime his hair is long and black in color with a few coppery highlights. It is mostly kept tied back in messy braids, clasps and other adornments. His clothing he primarily wears tends to be baggy and loose fitting and covers him from shoulder to ankle and wrist. He looks like he's outfitted to be traveling through a desert and not the cold northern reaches of ‘Souls. He carries himself with an air of superiority at times, but sometimes just slinks around in the shadows hoping to remain unseen. |

1.2 Personality
Summary: Charismatic, observant, deceptive, self-serving, unpredictable, manipulative, arrogant, secretive, adaptive, clever. |
Given his initially rough upbringing, Bodhi emerged a charismatic and clever young man alongside with the gentle hands of his uncle. Alongside his brother, and many other siblings, he took life by the horns and thrived in their world of chaos, making use of their indistinguishable appearances to their advantage. They quickly became masters of subterfuge and with an expertise in stealth and deception, Bodhi stood poised to become a formidable man of his time. At first meeting, Bodhi can appear to be just an average young man. Beneath his boy-ish charm lies a man teeming with intelligence, audacity and unparalleled skill for one his age. He possesses a quick wit and a sharp mind, not only does he also have an innate ability to see the bigger picture, he is able to use this to his advantage to devise plans and manipulate situations for the betterment of him and his brother. This wit comes with a devilish charm that draws others in and mesmerises them leaving them unsuspecting of the devious ploys to come. This is all further amplified by his deep bond he shares with his brother Colt, Bodhi’s mirror image and eternal companion. Together, they perfect the art of deception by effortlessly swapping identities to confuse and bewilder their enemies - and honestly, sometimes just for fun when they were boys to annoy their uncle, Rembrandt. Their shared experiences created an unshakable trust within each other. Beneath this cunning facade is just a boy whose heart burns with a desire for justice and redemption. His mother’s rejection and neglect has scarred him deeply, as well as witnessing other atrocities in his short life committed against otherwise innocent canines. He wishes to manoeuvre through the complex social structure of their society in order to create a name for him and his brother and to use his skills for the betterment of the Gang. |
