[ Appearance ]
An athletic frame with hard, lean muscle screaming speed and power, Ezra has an imposing air around him despite his small stature compared to the average wolf. Among his brethren, he is the definition of Tall, Dark and Handsome: a gleaming black coat covers him from head to toe, accented by rusty reds and oranges on his paws and legs, a hint of those hues appearing through the darkness around his muzzle; long, sturdy legs, each toe tipped by dark claws; a powerful, square muzzle and a masculine, no-nonsense face crowned by two sharply pointed ears. His shoulders are broad, rippling with muscle beneath fur shorter than the thick mane hugging his neck. His step is sure and true. He carries himself with imposing dignity, giving others the impression he's a dog not to be messed with—an image completely ruined whenever he's around friends and family, and a gentle, kind light in his brown eyes softens his harsh features.  

[ Personality ]
The stranger is greeted by a suspicious and guarded appraisal; a guard dog gauging what manner of threat stands before him. Tales of the trying history between Natives and Domestics have made him especially judgemental and wary of Natives, a streak not helped by his own poor experiences with the faction. He knows well their power, their strength, that they number many and the odds are stacked against him should the situation come to a fight. But he does not shy away from the danger. Not when he has friends and family standing behind him. Better they rip apart his body than anyone else's.
The familiar will often-times see kindness and care in his gaze. He puts the welfare of his loved ones above his own, always and without thought. To the young, he's a warm father-figure, to the old and the weak he's a hard-working provider. However, the cruelty of the world has given him a darker, unforgiving side. A violent one willing to commit the darkest crimes if it keeps his loved ones safe. He is not opposed to letting anyone learn a lesson the hard and painful way, even if it means he has to beat them up personally. But in the end, it's in their best interest. It's for their survival. Better he takes his teeth to them and let them live to learn than have the Natives take a life before its time.  

[ Past ]
May come at some point.
