hello hello, introduce yourself, won't you?

NAME: ruadh [red]
AGE: five years
GENDER: male
BREED: red setter
PACK: hopeful ragdog royale

APPEARANCE:

Even at a glance, it is clear to see just where his breed (and he) gets their name from – fur of such a deep brown that it seems very nearly red. It is silky, long and feathered at his ears, chest, legs and tail. However, years on the streets have taken their toll and his fur is often slick with grime and sweat, and has matted in places (though he bathes when he can).

Ruadh’s face is rather handsome, chiselled features, long, narrow snout, and deep mahogany eyes that could almost melt into his fur. His long feathered ears dangle down almost to his shoulders, framing his face. Though there is warmth in his colour, his eyes are masked with a layer of ice; a cold, uncaring (unfeeling) gaze which could send shivers down a spine.

He is a rather large dog, standing at about 26inches to the shoulder, though his lean, slender frame makes him far from intimidating. His legs are long, but not awkwardly so. He still wears an old chain around his neck; a noose, a reminder of his past lest he repeat his mistakes.

PERSONALITY:

strengths ;
loyal; intelligent; determined; generally easy-going

weaknesses ;
distant; cold; short tempered; rueful; pessimist

His emotions stand on a knife’s edge; fickle, volatile, ready to topple over at the slightest bump.

Too many times kicked, too many hours spent with his face in the dirt, heart shattered beside and he has become cold, distant even, all trace of who he once was, of who he could have been given half the chance, gone. He sometimes feels like a shadow, trying his best to remain unemotional, rational, but he is a fool and is easily swayed by his emotions, even if he remains outwardly stoic.

In his heart he carries the pain of the past, the chains holding him. He lets his anger, hatred, regret and sorrow control most of his life. He is a pessimist and one who (somewhat unintentionally) wants to make others see the ‘truth’ as he does. And thus he is the cold and uncaring individual who, as some would interpret, only cares about himself. It’s like his distorted way of ‘helping’ others is by completely destroying their life.

Even if he tries to be alone, he cannot deny the fact that he is a social being, one who craves company like a drug. His mouth often runs away from him and will gladly talk to those he respects or actually likes and some may find that he is actually quite relaxed and easy-going for all the darkness he displays to the world. That being said, Ruadh very rarely speaks of his past, it is a taboo subject for him and if he is pushed he will snap. He has neither patience nor sympathy for those who cannot read the warning signs.

Sometimes he dreams and feels that there is still a spark of happiness there, but it is buried deeply. He could be quite the talker, social, caring, if only the fates would allow it to be so, if only life saw fit to deal the right hand.
