diamond dog Anu Hur [Ready]

[PyroBlaze]

Name: Anu Hur

 

Sex: Male 

 

Age: Adult 

 

Species: Diamond Dog (Anubian jackal)

 

Eye Color: A warm purple in color

 

Character Color: pitch black fur with golden designs scrawling across his body. 

 

Mane/Tail: There is nothing special going on with his tail, it is simply the tail one would expect, but as for his head he is sporting dreadlocks that he sweeps behind him and ties into a short ponytail. This hair is black like his fur, though there are golden ones scattered among the black. 

 

Physique: He is an impressive figure, straddling the line between strength and speed, though speed was winning a little bit. He is fairly tall, though certainly not the tallest you would find. The golden markings covering his skin are reminiscent of the time of the pharaohs, and despite what one may think, are actually a part of his coat. He is rarely seen without his robes on, which is comprised of light, white cloth with gold trim around the outside. They are somewhat opulent, but fitting for his previous role. He also wears a black collar of sorts, it's only decoration being the ankh hanging from the front of it. 

 

Residence: Currently traveling, though his home is in the Great Desert of Saddle Arabia, near enough to the river to collect its water.

 

Occupation: Former Alpha of his pack, currently exiled and working as a mercenary or professional fighter, depending on what he can find. 

 

Cutie Mark: N/A

 

Unique Traits: Markings: Anu's markings are ones he was mostly born with. There are a few that were added as he was growing up through ink and such, such as the eye of Horus design over his right eye. This particular design is special though, in that he can close one eye to increase the senses of the other. It acts essentially like a magical spyglass, letting him see further away. 

Fighting Experience: Anu has plenty of practice fighting between training, the sparring he does, and the actual fights he has been in. He mostly fights unarmed or with dual kopeshs, occasionally using his bow should the need arise for ranged combat. His fighting is reminiscent of dances, though more breakdancing than ballroom. 

 

History: His childhood was one with few hardships in it. His father, the alpha of the clan at the time, worked hard to make sure his son would have a good life. Anu was a happy pup, playing his days away with the other kids until one day they wandered a bit too far from the clan. They were attacked by a wild animal, terrifying all of them into hiding. They had to avoid the thing for hours, unable to truly escape until one of his friends slipped up and gave the others a window of escape. Seeing the animal go after their friend though, they worked together to scare it off, saving her life. After that, they made sure to stay close to the clan, and Anu decided he needed to be able to fight, and so began his training. It started out and went for a while as traditional training, learning to fight with the kopesh and bow. One day though, his training diverged from what was normal, the day he was introduced to the popular music of Equestria. A traveling dj had heard of their clan and came to visit, putting on a show for the diamond dogs in exchange for some supplies. Ever since that day, his training diverged, and he started crafting a style around what he had heard. 

 

His life remained an easy one up until his father decided it was time to step down, a contest being prepared to help decide the next alpha. He trained even harder in preparation for it, eagerly entering in the hope he could help the clan like his father had. In the end he did not win everything as he had hoped, but he was one of the only ones to consistently make it into the top five, and when the final decision came in as to who would lead their clan, it was him. Overjoyed, he worked just as hard as his father to lead the clan into the future. 

 

His rule was marked with peace and prosperity as he worked tirelessly to protect them. That is, until he tried to create an alliance with a group that someone really didn't like. This small group inside the clan plotted in secret, eventually emerging into the light to revolt against him. Caught completely by surprise and betrayed, it didn't take long for him to be defeated by them, and he was exiled into the desert. He left quickly, moving from place to place looking for something to make him strong enough to retake his position. 

 

Personality: Anu is a very intense individual, tending to be somewhat irritable and quick to anger. He can also be rather vicious when he's fighting, not holding back unless they are sparring. All that being said though, he's nice enough to his friends and allies, rarely if ever getting seriously physical with them. He doesn't make friends easily, but those that can get through to him will find themselves with a very loyal friend. Also, he will do almost anything to get to his goals, the main exception being sacrificing friends. 

 

Summary: A former alpha of his pack, he is now a wandering warrior in search of new power and work.
