PERSONALITY |[/font]
If there was one trait that truly made Hektor himself, it would be his level of determination and commitment. Without his unending persistence to reach his goals, he would have given up a long time ago. He harbors a fierce hatred for all felines, and, by extension, all canines who befriend them. His hatred is of course understandable, considering his history of torture, abuse, and his family being murdered by cats. Hektor believes that all felines should be destroyed. Slavery and torture are okay in his mind, as long as it is a cat receiving the treatment, never a canine.
Hektor is not the most trusting of canines, and until he knows for sure you are not a feline sympathizer, you have no chance. After he is sure of that, he trusts you more easily, but still has a suspicious nature and most likely wouldn't put an important thing in your paws for quite some time.
When he finally trusts a dog, he is extremely loyal. Probably the only thing that could break his loyalty would be a dog betraying him and working against his beliefs. If his trust is broken, he would have no reservations about attacking the offender, even if minutes ago they were the best of friends.
Hektor is a very confident canine. He walks with his head and tail held high, and is dominant in nature. His life has led him to the belief that confidence is an essential trait to develop, and without it he probably would have died young.• likes | canines, destroying cats,
• dislikes | any and all felines, regardless of situation or type. dogs who sympathize with felines, they are just as bad as felines themselves.
• goals | to wipe felines off the planet
• fears | ending up back to where he started
• strengths | very persistent and determined. He will fight for what he believes in. He is very physically strong, a huge contrast from how he started off in life.
• weaknesses | the symbolism of his scar (if it gets brought up, he sometimes has flashbacks to when he received it). Seeing others with their families, since his whole family is dead. If he gets too full of rage, he would fight a battle where he is outmatched.
• mental disorders | optional
APPEARANCE |[/font]
Hektor is very formidable in appearance. After his sister died, he could focus on his own strength, and quickly built muscle, and grew into a large dog. His sturdy legs are set on large white paws. His tail is curved like an Akita. His eyes are deep set and are colored a dark amber brown. His head is shaped between a Rottweiler and an Akita, elegant like his mothers and squared like his fathers. Hektors legs are long, but powerful, and support the weight of a sleek and muscular body. His fur is tan, with black ticking that is darkest on his back and head. His chest has a spill of white from about two third up his neck to his belly. Hektor will always be reminded of his past by his two most noticeable scars. The one on his right flank from a big cats claw during his families escape is covered lightly by some tan hairs, but stands out against the darker ticking. The left side of his face is almost gruesome in its appearance, a long jagged scar linking the edge of his lips to his ear. Overall, Hektor has an intimidating look about him, and it is emphasized by his powerful and dominant attitude.• height | 26 inches at the shoulder
• weight | 118 lbs
• fur colour | Mix of black, tan and white.
• eye colour | Amber brown.
• scars | Many small but less noticeable scars. A long scar on his right flank and a scar from the edge of his lips to his ear on the left side of his face.
• noticeable features | Scars, especially the one on his face.
• physical disorders | optional
HISTORY | [/font]
Shortly before Hektor and his siblings were born, his parents were attacked by an organized group of cats similar to the Iris pride of Hexasol. Even though his father was a rottweiler, and his mother an Akita, they were no match for even a small group of cats, especially with their mother heavily pregnant. The two dogs were imprisoned and enslaved, and she gave birth there. The litter was of five puppies, but because of the torture she had been put through and work she had been forced to do instead of resting, two of her offspring were stillborn, and the other three were very weak. The cats let her rest and take care of her children, giving false hope to her that they would make it out of this okay.
Hektor can still remember the short visits his father was allowed to see the children. He was always bloody and scarred, and was weaker every time they saw him. They tortured him twice as much while his mate was nursing. As they began to grow, one of Hektors siblings, his only surviving brother died. There just wasn't enough nutrition to go around. The day that he and his sister were able to walk without too much stumbling, the cats showed up. Hektor will never forget the look of despair in his mothers eyes when they took her pups away. For a while, Hektor and his family were tortured and forced to work. The only time they were together was when they were allowed to sleep. They barely got to see their father, and every time they did, he looked even worse.
One day, when the pups were nearly a year old, the cats were feeling particularly cruel. They took Hektor and cut him from his lips to his ear on one side of his face, giving him a long gash that would become a scar with time. His sister also was given a scar on her face, and the cats said it meant that they owned them, that they were no higher than the dirt they walked on. When they returned to the den that night, their mother was brought to tears. Their father showed up later, and the mates spoke as their pups slept. They had to get out of there. They woke their pups and went over a plan. They would sneak out just before dawn, when most of the cats were asleep.
When the time came, they snuck out. They made it pretty far before they were detected. They were nearly at the territory border when they ran into a small patrol group made up of a young lion, and a few smaller cats. A battle ensued that the dogs won, but the felines fled back for back up. the dogs ran as fast as they could, but their mother was so injured that she was slowing the group, and her blood was marking a clear trail. A gash on her belly was causing her to quickly bleed out. Her family stopped, trying to get her to continue, but she laid down. She told them to hurry, that she loved them with her whole heart and soul, and that she knew they would make it. They said goodbye, and ran. Just as the cats caught up to her, the brave Akita turned to fight, one last stand to save her family.
The family escaped, but with many injuries and the extreme loss of their mother. In the coming weeks, Hektors father became ill and, being weak from his torture, he soon passed away. His sister was ill as well, but Hektor was able to care for her. His strength grew every day, and his malnourished start soon was a faded memory, no longer shown in his physical being. His sister, however was frail. She often would become sick for a week or so before recovering, but she never was fully healthy.
One day, Hektor left her to hunt. About an hour later, he came back, with a small rabbit in his jaws. The rabbit hit the ground when he saw the scene before him. A large spotted cat had murdered her, and at this point was beginning to consume her ragged, torn apart body. Hektor flew at the cat, not a thought in his head but to destroy the beast that killed his last family member. The impact of his body against the cat was intense; the cat was knocked over, and the breath knocked out of its lungs. He didn't pause for it to recover, though. Teeth immediately met the fur of its neck, tearing through to the warm flesh underneath. the cat, having been caught by surprise and at a disadvantage, was dead in minutes.
Hektor looked around at the bloody scene. He said goodbye to his sister, buried her body, and left with a mission; to destroy every cat that ever existed. Now that he is in Hexasol, he may have the chance to influence the war.
