Essentials

• Species: Damnation takes a lot after his father and grandfather when it comes to appearance. He looks the part of a coyote hybrid with large, radar like ears and an angular snout. However, if one pays closer attention to him, he is much larger than a coyote should be, smaller than what one would expect of a wolf and sort of in between the dog and coyote height ranges.
• Fur: Damnation is very vane and narcissistic when it comes to his fur or hair and it is often combed and kept a reasonable length. Due to some of his doggish blood, his fur comes in longer than the typical coyote leaving him with prominent tufts of fur around his neck and in tail length. His fur is downy and soft to the touch but also coarse the deeper one sinks their fingers into it.
  • Optime Hair: Long and styled. As mentioned before, character is rather vane with his appearance and lets his hair grow ridiculously long when it comes to his mane which is reason enough for his neck's fur to be so long. He keeps it tied up on occasion with it parted at his forehead so he can see. He sometimes spikes it in which case he uses oils and different resources to make it stick where he wants it.
• Facial Features: Large ears, angular face with smaller eyes. He has a slender, refined muzzle that tapers at an angle. Like his Lykoi family, he has a signature Lykoi blaze.
• Build and Size: Tall, yet on the thinner athletic range. He is solid, built like his father when it comes to muscular features. He is height and weight proportionate with a long loping gait.
• Humanization: Medium.

3.1  Key Relations

• Basilio Lykoi is Damnation's father and someone he has not had the chance to meet. He loves the stories he's heard from his mother about his father and his family but will probably end up regretting the memories of the stories told by his mother once he learns who his father truly was in the end.
• Unnamed Mother is someone he has looked up to the better part of his life and she is the individual who fashioned him to be who he is today. While he loves his mother dearly, she also pushed him to the side in exchange for power in the pack they settled in and for love but he's never held that against her despite the way he had to grow up early.

General

• Speech: Damnation is very soft spoken with a somewhat grating voice. He would be a good singer if he ever set his mind to it. His voice does come with a bit of an accent though it isn't overpowering.
• Scent: Leather, honey, blood, mud, and flowery oils.
• Quirks, Gestures, Etc.: Moderately humanized gestures and hand movements.
• General Posture and Body Language: Very straight, trained posture. Never slouching or relaxed unless in private company. His body language tends to come off as someone with a dominant personality until he is in the presence of someone with a higher rank than his own or with someone he likes more than just a friend.

Adornments

• Leather and fur braces on both his wrists and shoulder. Furs on his shoulder is from a bear. The leather and fur on either of his wrists are from rabbits and squirrels.
• A spiked collar made of dyed black leather and bone spikes. It ties at the back with leather cording and his often hidden from behind by his long hair.
• A spiked bracelet made of dyed black leather and bone spikes. Like his collar, it ties at the back with leather cording.
• A pair of luperci made hemp pants stained with ink dye made from the ashes of a fire and the juice of a blackberry.
• A red sash made of wool that is used as a mix between a belt and loin cloth that covers his front.
• A pair of leather shin braces that are tied around the back with leather cording. Often worn over his pants to protect from blades when he's fighting on the back of his warhorse.

Strengths

• Hunting: Damnation was trained at an early age to capture and kill for his meals. As of now, he is a talented tracker and hunter who is able to do so on the back of his horse
• Horse Training: He learned how to train horses from the pack leader who was sleeping with his mom. Known for his dabbling in horse training, the leader saw fit to give the most challenging of his horses to Damnation who trained it to be the fine beast it is today. He is very proficient in giving non-verbal cues and in breaking horses as well.
• Fighting: Damnation is very good at fighting from horse back with a long, heavy lance and with using a net. He practiced for years upon first shifting and developed his own style of fighting that suited him. He is almost as talented on foot with the heavy lance but prefers to discard the net when he's fighting blade to blade off horse-back as the net can get in the way.
• Bee Keeping: As a side project, Damnation started tackling bee-keeping as a secondary hobby away from his fighting and hunting. He learned from a local beekeeper who gave him a hive of his own that he has since abandoned. It would take a lot of time to start a new hive but he could do it given the proper time and location/opportunity.
• Candle and wax sculptures: While his candle making and wax sculptures are not overly pretty, they do smell good from his use of oils and making of wicks so he often uses the wax and honey secured from his bees in this particular venture to earn coin or barter with passersby.

Weaknesses

• Fighting: One of his weaknesses is that he underestimates women when it comes to fighting or any other skill that isn't pertinent in a home setting. He miscalculates the force he needs when going toe to toe with them and is easily drawn into situations he doesn't like. Another weakness that he's tried to cover up is that he has a hard time protecting his lower legs on horseback than he would in a typical combat situation.
• Bee Keeping: Most hives take a while to form. Building one would require him to find another queen chamber in another hive to start his own. As far as weaknesses go, he doesn't always use smoke the way he should when handling bees which leads to painful bee stings.
• Candle and Wax Sculpting: He is very much a novice when it comes to sculpting and making candles. While they smell good, most could look better with coloring and dyes. Instead, they're usually clumps. Visualize the Shrek candle made of his earwax.
• Hunting: He has a habit of wanting to hunt by himself. Because of that, large game such as moose or bear or larger animals are generally off limits due to his inability to work with others when meat is the goal.
