1. Appearance

Ithiel is a coyote-wolf-dog hybrid; he possesses primarily Canis latrans (coyote) blood and displays little outward appearance of wolf or dog, size aside. Ithiel is tall and large, almost willowy. He inherited his father's size and his mother's athletic, slim build.

Ithiel carries this well, having honed his body into solid muscular shape. He is deceptively heavy, carrying much of his weight in muscle mass. The most wolfish thing of Ithiel is his thick and shaggy coat -- his appearance is primarily coyote in feature and detail. His face, especially, is completely coyote and lacking in any wolf.

1.1 Coloration

Ithiel is primarily a tobacco brown (#695B44) in coloration.
The insides of his ears, the underside of his body, the tip of his tail, and the back of his forelegs are heathered gray (#B7AB93).
Various parts of his body -- his muzzle, ears, dorsal stripe, toes, forelegs, elbows, thighs, and tail patch -- are highlighted with birch (#312D20).
His eyes are cherrywood (#631515).

1.2 Forms

Lupus		Secui		Optime
	96 lbs (44 kg) 36 in (91 cm)		175 lbs (84 kg) 43 in (109 cm)		198 lbs (111 kg) 6ft 9in (81 in) (206 cm) )
Ithiel looks to be a very large, shaggy version of a coyote in his Lupus form.		Ithiel's secui form is large, like most Secui forms.		While in Optime form, Ithiel shears his hair short, and typically spikes it straight up in a short mohawk. He generally uses beeswax or other similar substances for this purpose.

1.3 Other

Modifications

Scars: Left thigh, slash mark from wolf attack.

Piercings: Both of his ears are pierced. He generally wears dangly crosses in them. These were a gift from a girl in Scintilla whaat.

Accessories

He wears a wooden cross around his neck, given to him by his mother.
He wears a rather large leather gauntlet for the protection of his arm, so Zedekiah can't tear his arm to pieces with his claws.

2. Personality

Ithiel does not lie, and believes strongly in oath-keeping and keeping his word. He doesn't promise things unless he intents to fulfill the promise. His oath is his priority.
Ithiel doesn't really understand other people's social behavior, motivations, etc., but it's primarily due to his indifference rather than any social disability or anything. He tends toward stiff and polite unless extremely comfortable around someone (in other words, just Aemon).
Ithiel prefers practical subject matter to lofty discussion: he'd rather learn about the lay of the land than debate philosophy with anyone.

2.1 Demeanor

Basically, a stick in the mud. He's polite, but not very much fun. Kind of stuck up and faintly arrogant (though he's certain he is not arrogant) about his birthplace, heritage, family, etc. Outside of his seeming superiority thing, Ithiel is healthily self-confident. He has a good understanding of his own abilities and skills, doesn't tend to over/under-value self.

2.2 Ideals

Outlook

Pessimistic and primarily introverted.

Interests

Practical subjects (scouting, information, knowledge), religion, secret super-awkward BDSM fetish (wat!)

Biases

Rather species-biased: he'll trust a bad coyote a lot quicker than he'll trust a good wolf. Ithiel generally won't attack wolves without strong provocation.
- Ithiel really dislikes that he is part wolf, but he accepts it and does not waste time wishing it was different. He tries to keep his own wolf heritage on the down-low: he will admit if directly questioned (as per not lying), but does not publicize such information himself.
- Ithiel has extensive experience with coyotes, coywolves, dogs, and wolves. He considers dogs beneath coyotes, but not to be hated as wolves. Rather, he pities them for years of human breeding making them "stupid" (his words).
Against the use of most mind-altering substances: Ithiel enjoys alcohol only in very small amounts, and finds excessive drunkenness extremely distasteful. He does not smoke and does not understand the habit, but he won't question others on their indulgence. Heavier substances and public intoxication would be strongly frowned upon by Ithiel.

Fears: Damnation, dishonor, purposelessness
Motivations:
- Keeping his word
- Keeping true to his faith
Traits
- Polite, stiff
Alignment: Lawful Neutral -- belief in order, etc

Sexuality

Strongly heterosexual. Does desire a woman in the sense that he wants a wife and life-partner. This is a pretty strong desire of his, and though he is not particularly fond of children, he does desire at least one strong son to see into adulthood. Pretty open with his idealized notions of romance and relationships.

Beyond that, he is not particularly desirous of sex or relationships, and views them in a procreative, relationships-only sort of sense. There is little degree of repression here, as Ithiel seems to have a naturally low sex drive -- he rarely engages in or seeking any sexually-pleasing behaviors. ~~Virgin, too. Dear lawwwd.~~ NOPE ALMA POPPED HIS CHERRY.

Ithiel doesn't know it yet but he totally has a BDSM thing.

Spirituality

Strongly religious -- vague Christian-like thing from Scintilla. Ithiel has a rather absolute belief in fate and a lack of personal choice in life -- he believes a soul is damned or saved from the beginning, and takes a strongly paternalistic view of God, believing he controls minute aspects of each canine's life.

Specific Beliefs:
- Believes in charity -- helping the disadvantaged to a small extent, though he may not engage in such behavior where wolves are concerned.
- Believes in essentially private religion -- hence his avoidance of any proselytizing behavior. He prays and reads his bible alone, and doesn't like to make a show of religion.

3. Relationships

3.1 Key Relations

Alma: His maaaaaate. They had an extremely long awkward courting period, but it culminated in Ithiel getting some love, so it's all good. 8D
Myrika Tears: His Aquila -- Ithiel viewed Myrika as a naive kid when he first arrived in Inferni, but trusted her leadership upon Ezekiel's departure.
~~Aemon~~
~~Ezekiel~~

3.2 Family: Lykoi & de le Poer

Mother: Jezebel
Father: Gabriel de le Poer
- Siblings: Aemon de le Poer
- Half-Siblings: Talitha de le Poer, Ezekiel de le Poer, Cypress, Oak, Alder, Elvira Winters, Elijah Winters
Extended: All of the Lykoi and de le Poer family -- Ithiel is ignorant to his de le Poer (and wolfish) heritage.

4. Interaction

Speech: Polite, stiff, reserved. Ithiel rarely speaks more than he needs to, and is prone to pausing at length -- sometimes to the discomfort of his conversational partners -- before delivering an answer.
Scent: Infernian scent, primarily. Ithiel almost always, without fail, smells fresh and recently bathed. After he's been working on arrows, he frequently carries a scent of sawdust/cut wood.

4.1 Residence

Grimwell Caverns, Inferni
A few stitched-together pelts hang over a stick lodged in the entryway Ithiel often tucks this to the side to allow for fresh air to enter the cave. Zedekiah usually perches just behind this; the bird has a rock shelf virtually all to himself.
Ithiel uses the southernmost rock shelf as storage -- everything here is neat and orderly, though he has little enough. A lantern sits near to his bed on this same shelf; a second lantern sits on the northern rock shelf.
A third rock shelf, the largest and lowest to the floor, makes up his bed. He usually keeps his rosary and bible near to hand.

4.2 NPCs

Lystra, horse
Zedekiah, vulture

4.3 Abilities

Strengths

Falconry: Ithiel has trained with Zedekiah since he was capable of shifting. Ithiel does not know how to train his own birds, but he would be capable of using any similarly-trained falcon for his purposes.
Archery and Fletching: Archery -- especially mounted archery. He specializes in making arrows of stone arrowheads, often reusing points when he can recover his arrows.
Scouting: Ithiel isn't very stealthy in day to day actions, but he is an excellent scout and spy.

Weaknesses

Socially stunted
Extremely orthodox, "in the box" style of thinking

4.4 Inventory

Trade

Ithiel is a lukewarm trader at best. He may be convinced to trade on a personal level, but is more frequently found trading for Inferni as a whole

Offering: See Myrika
Accepting: Items of a practical value only -- Ithiel cannot be convinced to trade for trinkets or "goodies" -- he will only accept things with some kind of use

5. History

26 July 2010: Ithiel and his brother Aemon de le Poer were born in Scintilla to his mother, Jezebel. She had lived in Inferni prior to that, and returned to her home pregnant with Gabriel de le Poer's children.
28 October 2010: Jezebel is wounded in a wolf attack on Scintilla. Ithiel and Aemon do not witness her wounding, but they do witness her progressive illness from infection, which the Scintillan medics are unable to treat. Jezebel dies of this infection a few weeks after the attack. Ithiel and Aemon are taken in by what serves as Scintilla's orphanage, raising the children of dead soldiers to fight the next generation's war. This environment instills within Ithiel a deep desire for and respect of structure, and he finds himself obedient to that which the "orphanage" provides.
22 February 2011: Ithiel shifts for the first time. At this, he leaves the compound behind, intending to enlist in the soldier's ranks. He does so, but with difficulty, as he is very young. Once within the militarized ranks of Scintilla, Ithiel is exposed to violence, fighting, gambling, and all other manner of indulgences with which the soldiers amuse themselves. Ithiel does not partake of most, and finds his only true vice is gambling. Even then, this has but a weak hold over him, as he abandons the tables readily.
16 April 2011: Ithiel finds himself attracted to a female soldier of Scintilla and befriends her. They train together, and Ithiel eventually becomes rather enamored with her. The girl, Vaniah, soon surpasses Ithiel in their military pursuits, and Ithiel awkwardly ceases pursuit of her.
15 October 2011: Ithiel, Aemon, and Kastra are dispatched from Scintilla to find Gabriel and perhaps bring him back to Scintilla, if the man is willing. Ithiel embarks on this journey with pleasure.
1 December 2011: Ithiel arrives in Inferni alongside Kastra Hunting; Aemon has scouted ahead and already joined Inferni's ranks.
December - February:
- Ithiel's early time is spent settling into Inferni. He meets his cousin Myrika Tears and eventually the two become friends.
- He also meets his half-brother, Alder, though the interaction is not a positive one and Ithiel is stunned to find he has a wolf half-brother.
- He meets Alma, as well.
March:
- Ithiel meets Hotaru of Cercatori d'Arte and engages in trade with the blind she-wolf.
- Inferni comes under attack in the Boreas Conflict and Ithiel serves as scout and warrior both during this time. He interacts more with Alma, helping train her to fight with daggers. He also trains his cousin Myrika in staff fighting as well as throwing axes later.
April - May:
- Boreas Conflict -- Ithiel fights a lot of d00ds and stabs their faces.
- Trains with Alma.
June:
- Myrika Tears becomes leader of Inferni and Ithiel has to support her and comfort her and wahh.
August:
- Alma and Ithiel become mates forever ♥♥♥
December:
- Ithiel asks Myrika leave for himself and Alma to return to their homeland. He wantz to havez a famblee and he wants them to know his birthland.
