OOC Significance-
Galileo- He was never intended to be played so I picked Io's sibling's names to go along with her own. Hence the Galilean moons theme. (Galileo discovered Jupiter moons Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto.) Though, now I admit it is a pretty cool name
Zloto- Needing something to fill in the gaps. Thank god for Google Translate XD
Gray- Blame LXG XD

Galileo has the same markings and colours throughout his three forms. While his sister Io gain dogish markings and his other sister Europa gained pure coyote looks, Galileo earn a true hybrid look. He is mainly a dark brown colour and a cream colour on his stomach, the two colors are joint by a lining of gold. The markings on his face are a mask over his eyes, streching down along his muzzle. The underside of his tail is a thin sliver of cream, fading quickly up to the brown colour. His legs are the same birch colour all over, only flashing dark golden on the inside down to his wrist, where from there on his hand is gold with shadings of brown further on up. His ears are the same dark brown that litters most of his body, fading out to lightly at the rims. It is in his Lupus form that his colours are most defined, in Secui they appear a few shades darker and in Optime the colours blends together more.

Abilities
Galileo can read, write, paint, sing and draw. His painting is the most refined of those skills, spray paint is usually the method he uses. Galileo enjoys reading in his spare time. His singing has never gone any further than a subconsious hobby though he is rather good.
Galileo is an adept sword fighter, though her prefers finesse over brute strength. The sword he uses is one that spends most of it's time in the hollowed out centre of Galileo's cane.
After learning archery as a young man, Galileo continued the practice in Nova Scotia. He uses a basic long bow, which a friend of his gifted him. He also received a leather quiver and is regularly given arrows from the same friend, who has trading links. For safety he uses a leather arm guard which he kept for his home pack.
Personality
Gruff and blunt at first, Galileo is a cautious and independant man. He is a docile, with little intrest in causing trouble. Galileo is never violent without cause or need. When he takes intrest in something, he will seek ouot the information he needs. He sees no difference between a male's ability and a female's. To his a woman can do what a man can do and he respects females as equally as men. On the whole he has a great deal of respect for people who deserve it, but is never quick to judge.
Another thing to mention about Galileo is that he has a slight fear or horses, it is not know where this arises from. He also takes a great intrest in snakes, on which his view is quite the opposite of his take on horses, he loves snakes.
Galileo has a routine when he hunts, in which he makes a small cut on his own body. This is so that he shows that he has suffered for the death of his prey. He will only do this if he has not already spilled blood in the hunt.
History
Born into a working pack, Cesarski. in the Carpathian mountains, Polish side. The eldest of a three puppy litter, himself and his two sisters. He was a typical eldest child, beliving he was better than his younger siblings even though there was ten seconds between himself and Io. Headstrong and reckless from day one, he was sure to be a heartbreaker.
And that is what he turned out to be. Io left for her own reasons and Europa settled down, Galileo wanted to make it big in his own little way, so after cause any number of mishaps in his home pack, it was advised by his mother, a high ranking female in the government like pack, that he set out on his own. Galileo did so, quite happily.
He first headed off to Berlin, where the pair got themselves a job at a bar. It had been his sudden idea to head to his namesake city. While he was there he dated a German dog hybrid named Anika Amsel-Koenig. The relationship didn't last long, Anika got bored of his childish ways and him himself and left him. Feeling a little pee'd offf about this he took to travelling Europe. Finally he headed to Seville in Spain, where he worked at a nightclub. They stayed there for longer this time, but even then, serving the beach fronted establishment became more of a chore for Galileo. The season changed and so did Galileo's route changed, taking him to England, where he built up his reputation as a high class man. His accent changed to a more upper class English tone.
So he once again set off, for Canada like his younger sister had before him.
Pets
Apep-
Galileo is hardly ever seen without his pet snake Apep. 'Pep' is a Blizzard Gopher Snake and is totally harmless. Galileo has found a great use in his as he is adept at catching rodents.
Brunn and Brons-
Brunn and Brons are Icelandic Horse Stallions that Galileo was given by his friend Iven in June 2011. While Galileo is terrified of equines, he is learning to curb his fears using the pair.
