Basic Information
Name: Gender: Trans male
Orientation: Asexual demiromantic
Birthdate: September 306
Breed(s): Samoyed
Variant: Basal (NNtt)
Mutation: Gills -- Can breathe underwater; reduced lung capacity topside.
Played by: Matt
Appearance
Height: 2'0"Build: Bulky, with a muscular top-heavy build. Built for short distances and fighting.
Description:
Much like a fluffy tank, Boris tends to trundle instead of walk, especially given his penchant for being nigh-constantly soaking wet. His long, thick coat is snow-white at its cleanest, although it tends to be stained brown with river mud and dirt from hunting and sparring. The fur along his stomach is usually matted together, and the delicate gills on either side of his neck are hidden beneath a protective shield of long, literally jaw-stopping hair. If one were to get a good look at them, they'd find strange, fish-like slits running parallel to his esophagus, generally tinged an odd grey when out of the water due to slow oxygen deprivation.
Personality
Skills: Brawler, tracker, loyal to the death. Can find pretty flowers on command. (Don't let him eat them.)Abilities: Travel by water source, mildly stealthy via waterways... hums his own theme song.
Description:
Boris is essentially a dork trapped in a jock's body. He enjoys a good, clean fight, but he'd much rather be making his packmates proud... or collecting shiny shells and pretty flowers. With an optimistic, happy-go-lucky attitude, one might get the impression that Boris simply doesn't care, which is about as far from the truth as possible. He's overtly affectionate, to the point of being almost puppy-like, even as a fully grown adult, which is probably why he hasn't risen in rank as of yet. He'd much rather spook some newcomers by hiding at the bottom of a stream than engage in any politics, and his general response to outsiders is to be overwhelmingly excited by their presence, seemingly oblivious to the danger they may pose. (In actuality, he's just that sure he could take them if the need arose.)
History
Lineage:Father: Aleksei | Basal | deceased
Mother: Anya | Basal | alive
Sibling(s): None
Background:
Born to Aleksei, a Winterwood Scout, and Anya, a Winterwood Hunter, Borislav was destined to become a loyal member of the pack. Although he was the only survivor from their litter of three, his parents never seemed to dwell on it, instead focusing on teaching him how to be focused and tactical. (The second part stuck, at least.) By his second year, he was instated as a Warrior. Only days later, Aleksei was found dead at the border of the Timberland, apparently ambushed by an unknown enemy. Terrified, Anya tried to reason with Boris to reconsider and ask for a rank as a Healer, but he refused, fueled by his father's death to become disciplined enough to earn his place as Lead Warrior, and ensure no other Winterwood dog suffered the same fate. In his third year, he took the Winter Survival Test with his best friend, Yulianna, returning back to Laika successfully but refusing to go into detail about what had occurred. For now, he seems to have backed off in his attempts at rising in rank, almost as if something has reminded him of more important things...
