Canis / Actos
[His real name is Actos, but over time in irc's and rp channels, I've used the nick Canis so people have familiarised this character by the name of 'Canis'.]
The character of Canis:
7'1 anthromorphic timber wolf. (digitgrade paws)
His fur does not feature any odd patterns that differ to that of a typical wolf pelt. A strip of darker black fur along his spine that transitions into browny/gold then to white which covers his torso.
A black tipped tail that he always keeps at a slight curl upwards to signify courage and comfortorability.
Having an upright posture and the mindset of a wolf (but with the power of speech) leaves Canis to be more powerful than an average human. He also packs with him a powerful jaw, consiting of 28mm canine teeth and smaller incisors on the insides of them, and a hefty biting force. Sharp conical claws top each of his digits on his paws (5 per hand/paw and 4 for each hindpaw) and a rudementary paw on each leg.
He has just the one scar on his neck, but it is minor and unnoticeable as it has healed over. His whiskers serve no actual function, they're relatively short and only few on his muzzle.
He has 2 deep hazy yellow eyes, very keen vision useful for hunting. His nightvision is very adapted to dark conditions. In daylight, he sees everything slightly darker and in a slight tint of blue.
His wolf like traits give him also a powerful sense of smell, in an open area downwind from a kill he can pickup the scent from shy of 2 miles but when can one ever be so lucky?!
He has a purely dominant personality and has little lee-way for most situations. He operates along a fine line of respect, give it, you get it back. Canis is by no means hesitant at picking fights not always biting off more than he can chew, he knows his place when it comes to hunting the larger animals solo. He tends to take everything as a threat, no matter how simple. He reads body language constantly to tell a beings feelings, whether they are fearful, confident or uneasy, telling apart the potential victims from the fighters.
Often having to defend himself from the mess he gets himself into.
His curiosity is endless, questioning almost everything he hears and sees. His experience over time has left him un-impressed by magic, and impure beings.
He has a natural love for the out-door natural world he came from, finding meaning in everything around him. He views himself not as an owner of the land, more-so, it owns him.
Attempting to remember his past, he practises lunar howling to the cresent moon each month in hopes of contacting his pack, he has hope but knows they're long gone.
Canis has one very difficult past, that he himself is a bit forgetful of with barely any rememberance of the incident, he is still trying to seek meaning in whatever happened to him and his pack (The Shka pack, named by the local native american folklore of the Kaneonuskatew [The one that walks on four claws, i.e mythical anthro characters that they think only exist in legends], Shka meaning white). The pack was simply 3 wolves strong, Canis being both an Alpha and Scout for the pack, looking out for his younger 'brothers', Athos and Zetros, two noble and loyal male white wolves, same build as Canis just a bit smaller because of their age. They lived in peace un-affected by humans for many years. They supposedly only existed in the Native locals folklore, but were never found out or uncovered.
One un-fortunate Autumn's day, hunters were about in the Shka territory, the hunters were oblivious to their existance. The Shka's were alerted by the sound of their vehicles and investigated, Canis held back to scan around the forest while'st his pack stumbled right infront of a small convoy of Landy Defenders on a dirt path. Basically looking exactly like 'werewolves' (even though they aren't) to the people, they opened fire, striking down Canis' packmates, startled by the loud gunshots, he gazed with a fright as his fallen brothers lay there on the dirt path, their blood spilled. Before long the humans tranquilized Canis with a dart fired from a distance, he fell as he fled the scene. His memory was blank. The people decided to track his movements and inspect, a very odd looking wolf like creature that had almost human like anatomy. They tagged him with a tracking chip '#135' on the side of his left leg.
He was left where he lay, when he came back into consciousness he felt lost, howling out for his pack, that, never answered back. He scratched at his leg, the chip falling out un-noticed ironically.
Over time, he has given up trying to find them, and has familiarized himself with humans and their ways. He is very strict about humans, not trusting any of them, he thinks they may have done something that caused the disappearance of his pack.
Long gone are his pack hunting days, large kills are a difficult thing to come-by. His brute strength allows him to take on many animals. But, his experience is still limited and he has much to learn yet..
Being the wolf he is, he has no sorrow or conscience towards hunting or preying on animals, they are a necessary and vital source of energy to keep him going. Canis is both a top notch hunter, and an oppertunist. He uses what he has, his claws, his teeth, his strength and stamina.. Not weapons or tools, he is a wolf, not a human.

(No these do not belong to me, not my art, I didn't even comission them from the artists, I'm mearly using them as an example as to what Actos/Canis looks like)
Actos: I derived this name from the Mercedes Benz truck, the Actros (so don't confused it with the drug upon googling the name Actos, which I found prior to creating it)
Athos: is a greek mountain range. Mt. Athos.
Zetros: needed another name so was looking around, and ridiculously enough, it's another Mercedes truck, just it's a really admireable name.
