Plot Opportunities
  • In search of a Healer — Due to living the Loner life, Law is presently in search of various healer(s) that can help ensure that a recent wound heals properly and doesn't become something worse, especially with Winter looming on the distant horizon.
  • A Home for You — Law's overall goal is to find a place for Amelia to call "home." He's very particular though, and cares a great deal for his young charge, and only wants the best for her. However, he doesn't realize that, perhaps, that "home" is with him.


Characteristics

Appearance

Physical

Although decidedly "average" overall in size, it is easy to see that Law is heavily dog-blooded. His ears are shepherd-like; tall and sharply pointed, ever alert and attuned to the world around him. He has his father's wolfish eyes; vigilant, piercing, and sharp as they stare with an intense focus. He has sleek, medium-length fur which it is noticeably thicker and plush around his neck, hackles, and tail. His build is that of an agile fighter who knows how to make the most of his body's potential, and is someone who can take a good scrap as a result. Larger or more wolfish adversaries might even comment that he's "good...for a dog."

Although equally at home in Lupus or Optime, Law is typically in his upright form between campsites. In Lupus, Law has a compact but streamline look about him, and it is this form that he is his most agile and has the greatest potential in becoming a "fur-missile." In all forms, however, he has a subtle, athletic musculature, which may take others by surprise when they realize that he has a good deal of upperbody and neck strength.

While in Optime, Law noticeably lacks a stylized mane/hair. He wears a collared, button-up, longsleeve cotton blouse with a pair of simple pants. He has a long, darkly-colored, tattered-edged cowl that he wraps about his shoulders, and can be adjusted in various ways to fit his preferences as needed; usually, in a style that allows for a hood. He wears simple, leather chest armor and has a pair of equally simple vambraces to protect each forearm. A knife is also strapped to each of his thighs. He carries a hide backpack full of his and Amelia's more precious belongings.

When not wrapped by bandages, a fresh, bite-like injury is visible on his right forearm.

Personality

Summarized: Blunt, gruff, somewhat bitter, loyal, protective, hardworking, vigilant, can be sarcastic

For the most part, Law is often described as a gruff, rough-around-the-edges kind of guy. He tends to keep others at a distance, and has trouble with completely trusting anyone outside of Amelia nowadays. He's seen quite a bit of the world, and has experienced both the good and the bad. It is the "bad" that has, perhaps, held a more lasting impression on him though in recent years. Where once a morally good, typical "hero"-type adventurer, he has since changed into someone more neutral and focused on simply surviving, which may mean putting his (and Amelia's) needs before others'. Amelia's presence, however, has started influence him into making "better" choices than he might have before she joined him.

Once one gets past his rather guarded exterior, they might be able to see more of who Law actually is as a person. Owing to his dog heritage, he is fiercely loyal and protective of his own. This is especially so of Amelia. An act of kindness can go a long way with Law, even if he may act or claim otherwise. He has always been a hardworking individual, and sees no problem with doing a mundane, odd job here or there if it means not owing a debt to someone (and so long as it does not conflict with his personal morals).

Having lived in "survival" mode for so long, he is quite vigilant to his surroundings. Even so, however, there have been quite a few times where he may omit knowledge of or otherwise pretend to not see, hear, or notice things in favor of remaining a neutral party.

  • More Information »

Skills & Abilities:

  • Pack Ponying — will carry loads across her back with little complaint
  • Sure-footed and agile
  • Very fast in short bursts, not for distance, however
  • Great endurance overall

Description:

Average donkey. Short, robust, resilient.
  • Gear: Load-bearing "saddle" set-up to attached saddlebags and baskets to.

Personality:

Easy-going, calm, and largely unbothered by a lot of things. She makes for a great labor animal, and an even better one for first-time owners. Occasionally though, one will be reminded that, for all of her non-typical donkey-like traits, Squeaks is still a donkey.

History:

A placid donkey trained and used to the labor needs of Luperci, Squeaks came into Law's possession as a means of payment for a job, and was accepted at all because of Amelia's insistence. Squeaks is fitted with the means to carry goods, and is strictly used as a pack pony as a result. She was named by Amelia.
