Essentials

• Species: While a hybrid, Priam leans more heavily towards his wolfish heritage in conformation.
• Fur: Short and thick; he has a dense undercoat and a soft, unruly topcoat.
  • Optime Hair: Typically viewed as ungroomed, his hair is longest in the front, spiking forth in choppy bangs along his forehead, while keeping to a feathery fauxhawk in the back.
• Facial Features: Priam has a long, tapered muzzle (a tad squarish by comparison) and tall, pointed ears that give his face a sharp, angular shape.
• Build and Size: Mingling in size between an average coyote and wolf, Priam is shabby-looking, solid, and trim.
  • Lupus: Appearing more in size like the average wolf, his slender profile and shape betrays his coyote heritage.
  • Optime: Priam has broad shoulders, a well-defined musculature, and a thin waist.
• Humanization: Very little; he enjoys some practical items, but will only clothe himself unless absolutely necessary.

Coloration

• Fur: Martini is his main body coloration, with his lightest color, Silver Rust, being primarily found on his underside, face, and all four of his paws. Black Marlin appears at his tail tip and ears, also peppering his fur and ruff heavily.
• Markings: Red Robin forms a stripe on his nose, creates a small saddle, and appears mixed along his pelt. Sundance, bladed throughout his body, is only apparent when in direct sunlight.
• Eyes: Casper
• Optime Hair: Black Marlin and Red Robin
  • Nose and Paw Pads: Oil

Modifications

• Tattoos: N/A
• Scars:
  • A lengthy, horizontal slash just under his shoulder blades, received when he was young; visible only in Optime.
  • Two, nearly full-jaw bite marks on his lower right arm.
  • Four thin claw marks scoring down the middle-left of his chest, partway down to his stomach.
• Piercings: N/A

Adornments

Priam does not typically wear clothes, except for perhaps in severe weather, but he will keep items that mean something to him or are useful in other fashions.

Jewelry and Accessories

• Always wears a thin, silver chain-link necklace (given to him by Azucena), from which hangs a circular brass charm that he found.
  • Engraved with the single word "SIN" on one side and an off-centered cross on the other.

Clothing

• Has no permanent articles of clothing.

Lupus

88 lbs (39.9 kg)· 33 in (83.8 cm)
About the size of a wolf, though skinnier.

Secui

194 lbs (87.9 kg) · 42 in (106.6 cm)
Slightly disproportionate with his massively broad forefront and sloping hindquaters.

Optime (Preferred)

223 pounds (101.1 kg) · 6 ft 3 in (192 cm) Firm and slender, Priam's muscles are handsomely defined (moreso in his upper body).

Traits

Sociable, civil, selfless, hesitant, coltish, perceptive, and insecure

• Outlook: Idealist
• Sociability: High; he genuinely appreciates interaction.
• Expression: Kind, smiling and generally superficial; he doesn't tend to let deeper emotion show on his face.
• Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

Motivations

• A people-pleaser through and through, Priam will largely work or help just to be doing a favor.
• Being a "good person"; His sometimes straight, almost uptight behavior is also residual of his mother's training.
• Getting rid of Cirael June's spirit.

Fears

Death (of a loved one), rejection, being inadequate or somehow useless.

• All of his fears stem from his mother's abruptly neurotic behavior when he was young.

Spirituality

• Priam believes in a singularly powerful, greater being who watches over them (God), but he's not fanatically religious at all and will avoid the topic if possible.
  • He's generally unsure of his own beliefs given how vague his ideals about it are and how irregularly he thinks about it.

Biases

Priam doesn't generally have any biases; not preferring any particular gender, age, or species to spend his time around.

Sexuality

• Heterosexual
• Worries incessantly about relations between family members

Interests

• Likes: Anything sport-like, socializing, water (rain, swimming, oceans, etc.), horses, birds, hunting, and eating.
• Dislikes: Confrontation, clothes, failure, unpleasant/uncooperative company.

Substances

• A love-hate relationship with alcohol. He hates how it made his mother -- nonsensical, belligerent, unconscious -- but guiltily enjoys the way it makes him feel. However, he punishes himself somehow each time he indulges in it.
• Marijuana is the only thing he smokes. His mother beat him the one time she'd caught him in her stash, and even though he's an adult now, he instinctively remembers the beating so won't partake in it often.

Currently

Previously

3.1  Key Relations

• Myrika Tears and Vesper are (unknowingly to them) his enemies. This pair is solely responsible for -- what Priam assumes is -- the murder and decapitation of his brother, Cirael.

3.2  Family: Lykoi, Kimaris, and Nothing

• Mother: Merrick Lykoi
• Father: Unknown
• Siblings: Cirael June Lykoi and Agrafena Lykoi
• Mate: Wander
• Children:
  • Beau Huxley, Moss Huxley, Jackdaw Huxley, Dandy Lykoi
  • Gideon Lykoi, Sulyvahn Huxley, Nightingale Huxley and Gilderoy Huxley

3.3  Minor

• Azucena Lykoi is an anomaly to him. He knows that she's related to him somehow -- however, she's aware of no such thing -- and he feels immensely guilty about being emotionally and physically attracted to her.

3.4  Former

• Merrick is his mother and the driving force behind Priam's inconspicuous greatness. He tried to take care of her when she could no longer take care of him, and doesn't resent her for emotionally abandoning him (or for hitting him with that sword across his back once when she was drunk).
• Cirael June (CJ) and Priam were very close as children. They had the "bright idea" to give one another a definitive scar a mere week before CJ was taken or lost. Priam chewed a circle around his brother's ankle, but before CJ could return the favor, Agrafena caught them and jealously ran to tell.
• Agrafena did not become significant to him until they were a little older. Until then, she'd just been a vaguely irritating little sister who he loved out of sheer obligation. He didn't talk for three weeks when she ran away, and to this day he considers it his fault for not making her happy enough to stay.

4.1  NPCs

• Ryver Bangett (former)
• Pestilence (former)

4.2  Residence

• D'Neville Mansion, Inferni
  • He stays in a very plain, modest room (number 10) in the East wing, occupied only by a few things: namely his queen-sized mattress, a re-purposed wood crate packed tight with down and cotton, and stitched together with thick wool overlayed in a dull gray, satin-like sheet. Harosheth helped him make it, and it lies in the far corner, just below a grimy, coverless window. Against the opposite wall is a stack of books and miscellaneous belongings, the most eye-catching of which would be the bronze, five-pronged candelabra sitting atop a sand-brown box secured with a golden padlock.

Strengths

• Combat (Master): both armed and unarmed, he is a viciously talented warrior, born of the ruthless teachings of a paranoid mother who wanted no more of her children to be taken. Sheltered and trained, is what Priam became.
  • Swordsmanship (Master): his forte. He is both swift and strong making him a formidable opponent with nearly anything long and sharp.
  • Archery (Journeyman): good but not excellent, he can hit nearly anything from horseback (even at a gallop) but for some reason has bad perception on his own two feet. He works better in-motion.
• Shifting: on average now, it takes him anywhere from 15-25 seconds for him to shift from Lupus to Optime. Though not a strength, per se, it is incredibly handy that he can shift so fast.
  • This is another talent honed by his obsessive mother, as she forced him and his sister to shift over and over again for several hours on end, each and every day. Soon shifting became an automatic reaction rather than a thought-process, and once or twice he started to shift without even meaning to.
• Creatures: Priam gets along well with different species and is respectful rather than fearful of them.
  • Horses: he (physically) communicates best with horses, usually, as most of them sense his very genial character. He sometimes must prove himself a superior to them, if he is to ride, but he is otherwise a kind and spirited rider with a slew of talents under his belt for horseback riding.

Weaknesses

• Mama's boy: he would still do anything for his mother; loyal to a fault to anyone he relates with her and connects with as well.
  • A side-complex of his makes him inadvertently crave/search for parental almost babying-like relationships with nearly anyone else. HE JUST WANTS LOVE, MOMMY ;___;
• Insecurity: Priam questions himself so much that he would rather listen to someone else's opinion so that he faces less of the fault from his own decisions.
• Impressionable: the above statistics make Priam very susceptible to follow the word of whomever he trusts or loves.
• Two-faced: just like Two-face had his coin, Priam uses his necklace in essentially the same manner.
