General
OOC:Crow/Winkatuck
Name: Crow
Alias: no one important
Species: Yagi
Gender: Male
Age: 4 years [Feb 28]
Pack: Rogue
Rank: n/a
Physical
Height: 42 inches
Weight: 200 lbs
Appearance:
Crow is a young adolescent Yagi who is stocky for his breed. He has ash pigmented clumps of fur under his neck and along his back. Overall his pelt ranges from a light tan to a dark swampy color. While his howl can reach many octaves for one of his favorite hobbies is to sing. (Even though he is in no shape, way, form, or fashion, related to a Cael.)
His head is held low and he is constantly trudging on his haunches. Two very thick and heavy Horns protrude from his skull right behind his ears. Along with that to match he is always showing off his two long and piercingly sharp fangs. Besides Crow's Umber orbs shifting uncomfortably back and forth at both prey and predators, he still has his full length tail to boost.
Other: He refuses to dock his tail, he likes to stand out and if others of his own kind don't respect him for that, he could care less. Plus the fact he has a very low pain tolerance.
Mental
Strengths:
Dependable: He will be there if you truly need him to be there. He knows what it feels like to be abandoned or confused and Crow is willing to strive for his goals to do so.
Honesty: Crow isn't afraid to say what's on his mind nor give his opinion. After being on his own for such a long period of time, let's just say he isn't socially educated sometimes for the situation he is placed in.
Optimistic: Think positively, carefree, laid back. Crow will go out of his way to make sure he is happy and if that means making other people happy because they make him sad, then he will just thrust himself into their lives to make them better.
Weaknesses:
Lazy: He tends to doze off and is not much of a fighter. Crow would rather take a nap or spend time relaxing than running around or hunting. If he can avoid the work he will take the option that involves the least amount of effort. Considering he has only had to take care of himself recently, it is no surprise he wouldn't go out on a limb to help somebody else or volunteer.
Bi-Polar: Up until recently, Crow has and usually is a carefree and happy-go-lucky kind of guy. Though, since his recent accident, he has become violent out of the blue at the most inconvenient times. Most of the time he seems either down or hyper. There is never a clear in between.
Emotionally unstable: Crow isn't good with these and has little or no control over them. This only makes his bipolarity worse and makes even his closest friends, the victims of his rage or sorrow. Sometimes he doesn't know what emotion is right for the current situation. This may make him appear a bit off or depressed at times.
Love: When it comes to this emotion, Crow doesn't really know what to do nor think about it. He's never really had close friends even. Any form of love is showing off in his mindset that "I am letting people in too easily or they are too friendly and I'm not so sure I like that..."
Personality:
Crow can be seen as the unusual introvert whom lacks what most Yagi's carry in their blood. Pride. You could even say he is the opposite almost of a typical Yagi, he is not as proud of his heritage as he probably should be. Besides the fact he has trust issues and doesn't always play well with others, Crow is actually somewhat of a decent guy once you gain his trust and get him to open up. (If you can get him to open up.)
When it comes to fighting and arguing, he would rather pretend to agree with the other person just so they would shut up. And it's the little things in life he loves to live for. Basking in the sunlight, bathing in the lakes, and napping for an extra hour or two. Yeah, Crow is pretty laid back when he feels comfortable and is alone.
History:
Our unfortunate Yagi had a very traumatic events throughout his life. He was separated from his parents and pack at a very young age and ever since then he had been searching until he had almost both completely exhausted himself and was hunted down by other packs/ predators. It was from then on he decided to give up on risking his life to find them.
Not long after this realization had he begun his quest to find uncharted and unscathed land, ripe for the cultivating. He wanted a no rules, no danger, go with the flow kind of life. Near the outskirts of Nanjiro by an excluded beach at Yvit Cove is when he decided that he could live that life he thought he always wanted. Life was always filled with excitement, and though Crow wasn't the most active wolf, even lazy dogs get bored of being boring. Lonely from talking to shrubbery and fresh kill. Something was missing, he wanted to feel like he belonged somewhere. So he left.
He set out again in search for something different this time, something in the big picture, that included him. He wasn't very social or skilled in any way, but he could try. Now he begins his journey to find where he really and truly belongs.
Other: As Crow began to travel around the world in search of where he can be a part of something. He meets many wolves in many different places. One of them being a deaf Cael named Tortoiseshell but he calls her Tor for short. He finds that he feels love around and with Tor and would maybe like to be her mate someday. And also friends Brightness (Bri) Darkly a hybrid wolf that can fly not to mention another Cael friend they call Mari for short.
He also finds someone who is related to him, someone who is not that friendly, Tor gets in the mixture and he decides to put up a fight to protect her while they escape.
His father looks a lot like him, but older and they have the same gaze although his father's is blue. Could this be this Dag the other wolf was blabbering about? now that Crow thought about it, he vaguely remembered calling his father not "Dad" but something very close to that and he would always get angry at him...
His mother's horns were tall and long. She was a dark color... like a really deep green. She had piercing umber eyes.
-----------------------------------------------------
Crow has lived around and at the Cove for awhile. Another Cael by the name of Nelio has offered him to join a traveling circus with Tor, so he accepts. He now strives to gain Tor's affection, but she appeared to be more interested in her own species. Crow, becoming distressed and confused by his emotions, wanders off to scout new territories to avoid Tor.
He encounters her at the swamp and nearly drowns trying to see her. Thankfully Bri had been in the area from earlier where Crow talked to him and his small lyxxus friend about mates. He saved his life and the yagi revealed what he believed where his true feelings for the deaf female cael. She answers that she likes crow as a friend and nothing more, so the male sulks off to attach to Raynor. Another cael from the same circus group.
He eventually learns with raynor about strength and responsibility, growing stronger and making his own hidden den under a stray log atop a dune near the ocean's tide. There he runs into Rylee, another but female yagi. He is soon to go off and travel with the rest of the group for their first performance... what's up with Crow's new serious attitude?
-----------------------------------------------------
A lot has happened since Crow had first set foot on the cove and made his first friend. They shared a great performance in their first circus act and Tor even helped mend some bonds with Crow as the yagi slowly became more himself again.
Not long after that, the male traced Tor back to the cove, the place they met only a year back. He questioned her why she left, she told him off and this angered him. He only wanted to protect her and keep her safe. Quite contrary to that, he lashed out at her in a heated argument. The end was not what was expected.
In the confusion, Crow had stabbed Tor above her chest and into the base of her throat. She bleed out as the yagi cried and comforted her and prayed for her forgiveness as she slowly came to peace with herself. He will never be the same.

Format these nicer please such as in list form:
Low self confidence: Explain further
Trust: Explain further
Judgmental: Explain further
Love: Explain further
Honest: Explain further
Dependable: Explain further
Optimistic: Explain further
I love where you have his personality but I would like to see it expanded! I want to now more, maybe explain his positives and weaknesses in more details here.
As for his history remember pups cannot live without their parents until 1.5 years, I would specify this instead of saying ‘pup’. Also:
A) You cannot start a sentence with And, and I would like you to give me more specifics on this perfect paradise and why he left. Spell it out for me if you have to, “He got bored with such and such and such”
Remember when you write this character bio we need as much information as possible. Like I tell new members, think of me as a blind person and you are describing this fantastical creature for me. Tell me everything, how they talk, how they look, what colors they are, what they like to do, things that make them mad. Describe them to me as though you would describe yourself to a new friend who is blind. Try to lengthen the history and personality and make the other changes. Once you do, comment here again and I will recheck and accept.
