Basics

• A massive hybrid of large dog breeds and large wolf subspecies, Iorek is an enormous Luperci with a broad build and thick fur layered over his muscular frame. He is built like a tank; a lot of muscle and some fat coats his broad frame and his thick fur only exaggerates his size. His deerhound and great dane blood gives him somewhat longer legs and his malamute blood gives him a bit of stamina. His muzzle is broader than a wolf's due to his mastiff heritage, but to untrained eyes he looks like an oversized wolf. He has a short bob for a tail; he was born with this trait. He also has shorter, rounded, smaller ears that make him seem very bearlike.
• His fur is very thick and waterproof due to his heritage; he most takes after his Caucasian shepherd blood along with his Newfoundland blood. His coat is thickest during winter and shortest during summer; his fur exaggerates his height in his feral forms, making him seem taller than usual.
• His Secui form is a colossal creature with a lot of muscle and thick fur that further exaggerates his bulk. Easily the size of a pony, Iorek is a rather massive in this halfling form. He has a thick mane and large paws which causes him to be mistaken for a bear at times. He has thicker limbs and is very strong. His Secui form is rather fluffy and has soft fur due to his dog blood. He is rather intimidating in this form, standing over four feet tall and more than five feet long. (Please note that 280 lbs is his average weight, though he can gain more weight during the winter months)
• His Optime form is a hulking individual and take up a lot of horizontal as well as vertical space. His fur is still thick in this form and only serves to make him seem bigger. He is a big and bulky figure that is very bear-like. He is quite muscular and has a healthy layer of fat. He has been known to drop down to all fours, but only for very short lengths of time. His scars are most visible in this form as his fur shortens.

Iorek at his core is a benevolent creature who is kind and gentle. His sweet and kind disposition is one of his most notable traits as well as his caring and calm demeanor. He cares deeply about others and their well-being, often placing it above his own. He is relatively friendly when meeting new people and can easily make friends. He is very empathetic and is able to understand others feeling or at least provide a listening ear.

He is a hard worker and is rarely idle, always wanting to help his pack in some way whether it be training with others, patrolling, or going on trips to look for things to bring back. He is helpful and can easily be roped into tasks, though he is starting to grow a spine when it comes to some things asked of him. He can be fairly stubborn when he puts his mind to something and it can be difficult for one to persuade him otherwise.

Due to his stutter and feral upbringing, Iorek does appear to be dimwitted, though he is intelligent and has a cunning side. Most of it comes from his unfamiliarity with many things that could be considered common by the members of his pack and other humanized individuals. He also often enjoys what others may consider "simple" and his quirks and interests may be considered to be "weird". However, he can be fairly perceptive and observant with an analyzing mind that allows him to figure things out; sometimes he may just ignore certain clues or telltale signs due to him not considering it to be "important" at the time. He has a good memory and a quick learner, though he does make mistakes.

Iorek can be an enigma to many due to his many quirks that set him apart from most Luperci. His feral upbringing coupled with his year in Casa di Cavalieri has caused a flux between humanized and feral. Iorek is also a mixed creature and has several quirks and traits that are nowhere near the norm. He does exhibit some traits which may be consider feminine though he has little to no understanding of gender roles; he likes jewelry and flowers and may seem slightly maternal at times. Iorek also often doesn't act entirely Luperci or canine at times. He has a couple of catlike mannerisms such as licking his paw and rubbing up against people like a cat as well as a large amount of his fighting techniques are noticeably feline. He also has some distinctly birdlike mannerisms such as tilting his head rather owlishly and having an almost magpie-like obsession with shiny objects.

Iorek sees himself as a protector rather than a fighter; one is more likely to get a fight out of him if they threaten those he cares about. One of his main motivations is protecting Casa di Cavalieri, though to him, it is more than just protecting them from harm. His protective instincts are also strong due to his dog blood and may cause him to react strongly to perceived threats towards those he considers to be family. Iorek's formerly pacifist nature has been replaced by his protective instincts, though he does believe in mercy and while killing is no longer last resort from him, it is reserved only for certain threats. Iorek does have a violent side and over time learned to use it rather than to fear it.

Expression

• Outlook:
  • Optimistic with a hint of pessimistic
• Sociability: Introverted, submissive
• Expression: Submissive
• Myers-Briggs Type: The Mediator (INFP, -A/-T) and The Advocate (INFJ, -A/-T)
• Alignment: Lawful Good with some Neutral Good characteristics.
  • "Good is best defined as whatever brings the most benefit to the greater number of decent, thinking creatures and the least woe to the rest."
  • "He will never attack an unarmed foe and will never harm an innocent."*
  • " Life and the assurance of other creatures' rights take precedence over all else."
  • "He will help those in need and works well alone or in a group."

Humanization

• Iorek's humanization is somewhere between low and medium. He wears a lot of accessories though doesn't usually wear clothes unless required of him or if encouraged by someone else, though that is rare. He is literate and can cook as well as crafts jewelry. He also lives in a house and in a humanized pack. He also has had several animal companions (birds and cats).
• He goes between Optime and Secui and values Optime for the use of hands, though has shown a preference towards his Secui form for many activities.
• Iorek dislikes weapons and doesn't use them in a fight and probably would never do so. He does use tools such as a knife, a mortar and pestle, and cooking equipment though it would be rare for him to use anything else. He also is noticeably adverse to horses and other domesticated, hoofed creatures and sees little use for them. He has very little knowledge of horses and avoids them when he can unless they have a rider.

Motivations

• Casa di Cavalieri, family and friends, helping others, learning new things

Fears

• Harm befalling his pack or loved ones

Interests

• Likes: Helping others, scavenging, jewelry and trinkets, flowers, feathers, hunting, water
• Dislikes: Rapists, horses, weapons, bullies

Biases

• Packs: Casa di Cavalieri is his home and Cavaliers are treated like family. Cour des Miracles is an allied pack and is treated accordingly. Most former Anathemans are also treated favorably as well, depending on there connection to Iorek. Friendly with all other packs though may be less trusting of Sapiens. Loners are treated warily, especially if they fall within his other biases.
• Size: Iorek is more likely to become more defensive with unknown males close to his size or larger than him due to past experiences. Especially if they fall within his color biases.
• Color: Iorek is more likely to react aggressively to unknown dark-colored males that have golden or amber eyes.
• Gender: Older women and smaller females do remind him of his mother and are treated gently. He respects women regardless and seems more comfortable around them and trusts them easier than males. Iorek's understanding of gender and gender roles are sketchy at best so he doesn't really bat an eye at anything.
• Non-Luperci: His mother was Non-Luperci, and she used to talk to him about when she was a "non-shifter" and seemed to resent how she was changed. Because of this, Iorek does not support the infection of Non-Luperci without consent and treats them and former Non-Luperci kindly and sometimes protectively.
• Sexuality: Iorek doesn't know much about mateships. He has learned about his own sexuality and may feel comfortable with same-sex pairings, though flirting flies over his head. He doesn't know what polyamory is, though he would be confused by it. All that really matters to him is that it's consensual.
• Age: Iorek doesn't know much about older people, though he thinks of them as frail and needs protection. He does respect them.
• Humanization: Iorek feels a kinship towards fellow feral canines and may interact with them easier.

Sexuality

• Iorek is a 5 on the Kinsey Scale; Predominantly homosexual, only incidentally heterosexual. He will only bed with a female for reproductive purposes.
• He seems to be on the demiromantic spectrum as his romantic feelings developed after an emotional connection and is monogamous. While he is unable to fully describe his romantic feelings, he is loyal towards them and can be very affectionate.
• He also seems to be a grey asexual though leans towards the demisexual spectrum; he's a-spec. For him, sex can easily be replaced by another activity, though isn't opposed to it.
• He will only sleep with someone if they want to and is never one to do it on a whim; normally they must have some kind of connection. Being as inexperienced as he is, he primarily follows his instincts when it comes to sexual encounters.

Spirituality

Iorek's beliefs are fairly vague though he is spiritual and considers there to be a "Mother Goddess". He believes in spirits and can believe in deities if given enough exposure and explanation, though may pick and choose from different religions. He does have a belief that spirits go to the sky but may wander on earth as he believes that he interacted with his mother's spirit. He does believe in magic and practices rituals as well as has knowledge of tarot cards.

Substances

Iorek doesn't participate in using substances if he can help it. His exposure is limited to alcohol as well as a poorly-remembered time on hallucinogenics, his knowledge is primarily limited to alcohol. And while he doesn't approve of others, he will express his disapproval or disappointment when they are wasted or hungover.

Survival

• Hunting: Iorek's solo hunting style is either hiding in wait to ambush prey or stalking prey until he gets close enough to pounce. He mainly hunts in forested areas due to him needing cover to stalk prey and is fairly stealthy. He primarily hunts beavers, squirrels, rabbits, and deer. He can also fish fairly well using his claws to hook fish.
• Feral Combat: Iorek primarily fights in Secui form, normally using misdirection and tricks to gain the upperhand. Those familiar with felines may notice that his techniques seem catlike in a way. He is capable of fighting Optime individuals with weapons and typically seeks to disarm his opponent. He can fight in Optime form - though he is fairly unskilled - and uses his teeth and claws as well as strength.
• Swimming: Iorek is a natural swimmer due to his waterproof fur and water dog heritage. He is also capable of keeping his head underwater and often submerges his entire body with only his nose out of the water.

• Being a rather giant individual grants him immense strength and stamina, allowing him to exert himself longer than average. Though his large size costs him speed and agility. He can easily be outpaced by smaller individuals and isn't the best at tight maneuvers and chases past a quick burst of speed. His size also makes it difficult to maneuver in small spaces and his bulk also makes it difficult, especially in places meant for humans or smaller Luperci. His size also requires a lot more fuel.
• His reflexes are fairly good and allows him to try to get out of the way of attacks.
• Iorek's knowledge of weaponry is fairly sketchy past bladed weaponry; he may not recognize weapons that don't have an obvious sharp edge and has only practiced against swords; blunt weapons such as staffs don't register as much of a threat to him. He also has little to no knowledge on using a weapon.
• Iorek's thick fur is a blessing as much as it is a curse. He has some natural protection against feral opponents, though summer heat is uncomfortable, especially in his Secui form.

Domestic

• First Aid and Herbalism: Iorek is able to clean and dress wounds, though only enough to send the person to more experienced healers. He can sterilize and apply ointments, though he lacks the knowledge for anything further. He can also change bandages, but only for wounds that are close to being healed. He can also identify common or flowering herbs, though lacks knowledge past that.
• Reading: Iorek can read, but mainly lists or instructions; he does read books though most of them are simple elementary-level books or some simple guides.
• Scavenging: Iorek has an eye for shiny things and can identify places where he is more likely to find valuable items - though valuable for him involves anything he can make jewelry out of. He also is fair at finding carcasses.
• Crafting: Iorek is capable of making simple necklaces and small decorations.
• Cooking: Iorek can cook meat and make tea.

• Iorek by no means is a medic, but simply someone that can dress the wound until they can see a medic. Iorek is also useless when it comes to anything past a minor wound and has a weak stomach.
• Iorek can grasp some concepts in books, particularly feelings and can get the gist of stories, though anything that heavily involves humans and technology flies over his head.
