Cowardly Puppets

Maybe I'm just Wicked

General

Appearance

Height // 23 inches
Weight // 53 pounds
Description //
You could say Wick was born lucky due to the fact that he seems to have inherited all the good genes, but quite honestly if you took the time to notice it you'd see he's just like most dogs from the same lineage. His body is built like your typical working dog with just a bit more bulk. He has long legs with nimble, compact paws and a deep-set chest for endurance while running. Though Wick can run at a decent speed, he's not the fastest of his fellow canines. In fact he's one of the stronger, tougher dogs that would be geared toward the larger prey of the hunt. His frame is filled out nicely with muscle even though it's not the kind to bulge out in a noticeable way.

Wicked's coat is plush and soft with an undercoat that grows out in the winter months and is quickly shed in the summer months, though the fur never seems to be a different length. It's a base of white with a powerful red color that demands attention against his ice blue eyes and leans toward the darker ranges of a husky's coat. His ears stand tall and proud on top of his head, his tail curls over his back lazily, and he walks proudly with his head always held high.

Behavior

Disposition // dominant and a bit pushy unless told otherwise
Mentality // stable
Personality //
What would make you consider someone a jerk? Rude behavior, easily being able to walk on their counterparts with little remorse, someone who isn't afraid to step on others' toes, and maybe even someone who isn't afraid to blurt to a pup something that may or may not ruin their innocence? Well then you know Wick. He's the classic jock with an over sized ego and a reputation for hurting the ladies he so loves to hook up with. Not to mention he's down right rude when he's around his best of buddies. But that's not to say he doesn't have a nice side. Well, actually that's pretty iffy. But maybe if you dig down under his skin you could find something else about him that might just be redeemable. Good luck with that.

on the outside Wicked's name truly does suit him. Most likely the first thing you'll notice about the brute is how he has that trait about him that just makes him step on others' toes easily. Unless you're a lady he's trying to impress. If you're so lucky a lady, you're most likely going to see just how shallow he is with the way he's obsessed with a good looking girl. Whether he finds you attractive or not you'll still get one of two reactions: you'll get to see just how convincing he can be when he wants something or you'll see just how rude he can be when he really doesn't want something.

So let's say you're not a pretty lady or Wick really just doesn't want any attention or maybe even he's just stumbled upon a male who seems like he's got some potential for getting along with Wicked. What does he do then? Well, he's just Wick. He walks with an arrogant air to him like he can get whatever he wants no matter how hard it may be. Whether that be a simple meal or even a girl who is clearly in love with someone else. If Wick wants it, there's no way he's not going to get it and he definitely won't let anyone stand in his way when it comes to making himself happy. You see, Wicked is secretly not happy with his life so he does numerous things to try and please himself. Most of the time he crashes and burns, but on the rare occasion he finds something that makes him happy you can be sure he's going to become very possessive and jealous.

The next thing you may see about him is he'd rather physically fight than "use his words". The male has never been good with words and he's never tried to be and, goodness forbid, he opens his mouth and says one thing about his feelings he's going to be quick to erupt in a heated temper. Wicked tends to bottle up his feelings and lock them away. Even if you're his closest friend, you're not guaranteed to get any information about what's bouncing around in his head just because he's one of those canines. Not to mention his fear of those three words. It doesn't matter if he truly does love you, whether that be lustfully or just as a friend, he has problems just giving it out. Unless you can get him out of his shell, I wouldn't be expecting an "I love you" the minute things start to get heavy.

The third thing you'd probably see is how self absorbed Wicked is and just how obsessed he is with getting into girl's pants. It's probably bad enough that he could be considered an addict. He does draw a line, though. It doesn't matter how long it takes: he's only going to sleep with her if she agrees to it. Wick could never again bring himself to force a girl's love. He's stubborn and, for the most part, it's not that hard for him to find another female who will let him stay the night, so the most he will do to get a female is manipulate and pressure her into doing something she may not necessarily want to do.

on the inside Quite honestly, I don't think many people are ever going to see the true Wicked just because he thinks that makes him vulnerable and he hates to feel weak in the presence of others. After all: he likes to be the one in charge when it comes to it, though he may not particularly mind rolling over for a lady who's into that sort of thing.

Quite honestly, the only thing you may find inside this guy's head-behind all the lust, fighting, and acting-is the immense amount of guilt he feels. Whether it's about leaving his mother and father, joining that gang he joined, or maybe even something as simple as cheating (even though he'll still do it because he won't feel guilt in the moment) it's the one thing that runs his mind. Why do you think Wick puts on a show? To hide the truth that he doesn't want anyone to know and, when he left that gang and his brother, he hoped the secret would leave along with the company. But it didn't. It's a dark cloud that constantly fogs his mind and haunts him in his dreams. He can't ever seem to get away from it and, due to the constant nightmares and so forth, he's usually a bit sleep deprived. It's a wonder he can even get worked up with a female.

If you knew about what happened with Wick in his past, you'd probably understand why he's constantly getting in trouble with the ladies. After he's exhausted all his energy he sleeps without dreams and he'll even have pleasant dreams about his partners. In a weird way, Wick's private affairs are therapeutic for him. So, it's no surprise that when he finds someone who really wants to help him, he tries to get them to sleep with him. It's actually sad how much the male relies on others to make him happy. So maybe he does have some redeemable qualities. In a weird way. You'll just have to find out.

Development

Father // Sailor
Mother // Siren
Siblings // Corrupt
Other Important Figures // Heartwood, his adopted sister
History //
Siren met Sailor while they were young, but the two knew almost instantly that they wanted to be together. While they got into a lot of shenanigans together the two quickly fell in love and never left each others' sides once they got there. Once Siren felt she was of appropriate age, the two pups tried every season to get pregnant, though it never seemed to happen. So they gave up and switched their attention to adopting orphans they'd stumble upon along the way. Only after they'd recently taken in a young pup they named 'Heartwood' did Siren finally suspect herself pregnant with her mate's children.

A few months later, though Siren was almost seven, she gave birth to two healthy males: Wicker and Conifer. Heartwood or "Hearty", as Wicker called her, helped raise the pups and, even though she was only a few months older than them, quickly grew to be a second mother to him. It didn't take long for the whole family to realize just how close the two brothers would be. They played, they ate, and they conquered the world together. Constantly at each others' sides, life was good.

The months flew by quickly as the males grew into strong, healthy, and hormonal brutes. Though their play became more rough as they grew, any and all brutal fights were settled almost immediately by their father so nothing was ever too horrible at home. It was around the time they became 14 months old that the pair decided to leave behind their parents and Heartwood. Now on their own, the males grew even more attached at the hip. Whatever they did was decided by Wicker and only Wicker so I guess you could say that the boys joining the gang was his fault in the first place.

Times were tough for the two bachelors so they decided it would be best to join up with a few other bachelors, but there was a process. Not only did they need to change their names to something a bit more intimidating, but they also needed to go through a little initiation ceremony. "Wicker" and "Conifer" quickly took on the names "Wicked" and "Corrupt" with grace and they passed the initiation with flying colors.

And so, life was good again. Wicked grew close to a few of the males he traveled with, though his relationship with his brother was beginning to fade. He'd been with the gang for about a year until the real trouble began to start up. You see, the males were quickly growing rowdy and beginning to distrust Wicked because of the way he seemed to avoid the tougher tasks they went through daily. The gang leader quickly knew of a way to test his loyalty.

A few days later Wicked was told to do something he'd never wanted to do if he wanted to keep his position within the ranks. It was sink or swim, so Wicked decided to do it, immediate regret haunting him since then. After that ,the gang members were down right ruthless to Wicked. Although they trusted him more than ever, they were constantly bragging about how they thought he would never do such a thing and how even they wouldn't have done it. Even Corrupt had begun to get into the action, but Corrupt was the worst of them all. The husky would brag about how he wouldn't have even hesitated and how he'd make sure that it was at least fun for himself.

Wicked snapped, sinking his teeth into his brother's shoulder and shredding any future he could have had in the gang. He was exiled and once again he was alone. Only this time he didn't even have his brother.

And so here's Wicked: the beaten up vision you see in front of you. He's only been in the area for a few months, but in that time he's caused tons of trouble by doing the things he shouldn't do just to forget his mistakes. Though it's a given that the male's going to try to avoid his brother, he's at least as happy as he can get for what he's done.
