Summary

He is an ideal bouncer.


Appearance

Rose is quite large, has thick fur, and heavyset jowls. Tall and broad, his arms seem to hang a bit longer than they should. While there are some large dog breeds in his heritage (mastiff), there must also be some wolf in there to explain the size.

Personality

Quiet and reserved, but very attentive, protective, and obedient. Rose (or sometimes his sister will call him Rosie) has an intimidating presence at first, but as long as he doesn't deem you a threat, there's not much to worry about. He's soft-spoken and polite, helpful when he can be, and eager to please.

Mannerisms

Soft-spoken and polite, defers to others when appropriate, will readily say he doesn't know if he doesn't know and apologise. Soft southern drawl.

Skills

Physical Strength and Melee Combat

Rose has been trained extensively in melee combat, especially in Secui and Lupus form, though he will make use of knives and daggers in Optime form when appropriate.

Like his sister, he isn't shy about throwing his size and weight around, using it to intimidate and dominate others in a fight. Still, his strikes lack no precision, and his barreling bulk doesn't seem to slow him down any either.

Hunting and Trapping

Hunting and trapping is the lifeblood of his birthpack, Wassaw, and Rose liked to lose himself in the base, instinctive task of tracking and pursuing prey on four feet. He also liked the meditative task of putting together simple traps, though he isn't as good about remembering to check those traps later.

Food preservation

Rose knows the basics of drying and salting meat, but can use more practice to get the taste just right, as well as in using other methods like smoking.

Horse husbandry

Adept at caring for horses and training horses for cart-pulling and other labour. Can't ride because he's too big, usually. Misses working with horses since he's been away from home, but doesn't miss home.

History

Unhappy parents made for unhappy children, and when his sister jumped at the chance to leave, Rose went with her. Dawnsong Pembroke is his aunt, who he hadn't met until arriving at Oglethorpe.
