Appearance

Coat: Dominantly grey, with shades of tans and browns and reds throughout. A typical appearance of an Eastern wolf. His fur is speckled with white from age and neglect, and blossoms most noticeably around his muzzle and above his eyes. Shortly before coming to AniWaya, he hurt his right hind leg and is stuck with a cute limp.

Scars and Marks: Scars shine through his thin coat. Old cuts decorate his face while deeper gashes have left their mark on his neck, sides, and belly. The most noticeable is a scar that cuts from his earline to the top of his left eye. His ears are notched and bent in some places, as is his tail.
Eyes: A bright golden, clouded with age and a few cataracts.
Build: Thin and weak, he stands hunched even in Lupus form. His skin is weak and limp - he looks exactly as an old wolf should.
Inventory: Nothing but a simple sharpened rock that he worked on before coming to AniWaya right now. Eventually, he'll make it a dagger. But as it is sort of his pet project, he's taking his time.


Lupus Form

Arda will take on this form when he is injured or traveling. He feels stronger in this form, since his limp is not such a problem as it is when he is on two legs. His fur is especially shaggy and thin in this form, and occasionally he shakes when he walks. His Lupus form is of average size for a wolf, if just a bit on the small and thin side.


Secui and Optime Form

Arda very rarely takes on his Secui form. His age with the added bulkiness of the form just doesn't work out right. However, when he is not injured or traveling, Arda will probably be seen in his Optime form. His fur is considerably thicker and his mane is long but still straggly and weak. His arms are stronger and his hands are rough like sandpaper, so accustomed as they are to working stone. He has a very narrow waist and weak legs, upon which he can be likely to stumble. His lower half is only a bit more steady in Optime form than it is in Lupus form, but his top half is considerably more fetching. Arda is proud of his appearance and he fondly remembers when he was a strong, brave youth - the scars upon him show that he has made use of his shifting abilities.


Personality

Arda is a gentle, honest old soul. Much of the fight has gone out of him, but still he is determined to not go quietly in the night. When the time comes, he will probably make a desperate attempt to show that he's still worth something. But for now, he is stuck with the heart of a warrior who's seen too many fights. He has a good ear, and will listen to whoever might need advice. Arda's advice may not be as wise and great as other elders, for never has he prized any wisdom. But when one is looking for an honest opinion on a matter, Arda has plenty of free time. He easily trusts people and enjoys making friends. He's incredibly honest - lies are worthless to an old man. Such honesty can also spell hard feelings toward him, and Arda can do really nothing to defend himself from anyone he might anger. Draggar is terrible at writing down personalities. Arda is not one to sit by a fire, telling the youngsters stories. That stereotyped part of elderdom is really not for him. He would very much prefer it if he was sought out singularly, to help or speak to one person at a time.


Good luck trying to get Arda to talk about his past. Besides the fact that he's starting to forget most of it, he thinks his life is a private matter. And it probably is. All the mistakes of his past, all the triumphs... He would much rather keep it all to himself. And if you want to know more about his personality, get to know the dear boy, because Draggar is sick of this personality writing stuff.


History

Birth to Year One.
Arda was born to Aubretia and Ordos Perrio on a sunny March morning 14-and-something years ago. He was born into a world of dust and red adobe, where hardy prey lurked in the desert heat. He was the third son to his parents, and the last biological child they would ever have. First in the litter came a stillborn pup, followed by Rikaiso, and then little Arda. Rikaiso, affectionately called Ricky, was always Arda's best friend. They suckled together, slept together, and even exchanged their very first words with each other.

The two were a mischievous pair, and scoured the old pueblos community for the strange items the humans had left behind. Already born were Royce and Lukas, who kept themselves away from Arda and Ricky. Like all of the Perrio clan, they had more adventurous souls and left the pack before Arda's first birthday. Arda remembers them as being of a darker color than his parents and his beloved Ricky - almost soild black, he had once mistaken them for shadows.


Year One to Year Three
In the years that followed, tension grew between the members of the Perrio family. A new sister, Lattice, was born. Arda and Ricky began hunting - and they did well for their young age. The Perrios were accustomed to basic wolf hunting techniques, but on an exploration deeper into the pueblos, Arda and Ricky stumbled upon a collection of old arrowheads. Amazed by this discovery, Arda and Ricky became determined to find out the use of such tools. And they did, after some practice and investigation. Arda was more talented with the stone than Ricky and he was the first to try making some weapons of his own. Ricky preferred to take them to the field, and what she lacked in the ability to make the sharp stones, she made up for with hunting and fighting skills. Arda would gladly make his sister new weapons.

He loved his sister, far more than he loved his father or mother or even little Lattice. Throughout his life, Aubretia and Ordos kept their distance. It is the truth that Arda can hardly remember his parents now, as mysterious as they were back then. He could not even understand his father - who spoke in a Spanish so accented that it was only when he was three that he began to pick up the language.
