Crucifix
"And in a burst of light that blinded every angel
As if the sky had blown the heavens into stars
You felt the gravity of tempered grace
Falling into empty space
No one there to catch you in their arms"
[Lyrics From Iridescent by Linkin Park]
"And in a burst of light that blinded every angel

Falling into empty space
No one there to catch you in their arms"

The Basics
Nickname: Cru or Fix.
Breed: Mexican Wolf.
Age: 4 Years.
Gender: Male.
The Physical
Height: 32 Inches at the Shoulder.
Weight: 80 Pounds.
Appearance:
Crucifix is well built, lean like his wild relatives, and also like his Italian counterparts. He was raised like fine wine, his fur starting out tufty, not all that smooth and not at all thick. As he aged, his fur grew out, thickening and softening until it is as it looks now. His fur has a variety of hues, all of them earthen tones, dark and a mix of light. Cru's eyes are a dark grey, with soft flecks of the lightest of gold. He is muscled, strong and lean, the largest of his species' general size range. Fix is a big boy, and he knows just how to use this to his advantage.

Dislikes/Fears:

Personality:
- Dominant.
- Crucifix is dominant to a fault. He doesn’t take dominance from any, even his foster son, who is also his second in command. Sure, as long as he doesn’t challenge the older male everything is fine, but if he were to, there would be no mercy involved in keeping Nicolae in line. And that goes for any others he deems need it, and he isn’t afraid to challenge those around him who believe they have more authority than he does. As such he doesn’t play well with other packs, especially those that wander, and if any were to come on his land, he’d make sure they learned their mistake swiftly and without mercy.
-
- Wise.
- Cru is wise, learned in the art of wine, among other things, and he’s been around long enough to know how to survive on his own, make do with whatever he had. It was a coping mechanism that had simply been expanded upon, built up as a skill and then honed to finesse. He doesn’t attribute his wisdom to anything other than self-experience, that and age. Time brings knowledge in that age old way, just being in different environments and situations prove to be useful.
-
- Con-man.
- Just as he’s taught Nicolae, he’s a con-man through and through. Ever useful at using everything and anything to his advantage and at his disposal, he thrives on cons. Without his tricks and acts, he grows bored quickly, and when he grows bored the danger grows. For the most part he doesn’t con just anyone, instead he plans, plots and mulls over possible options, and the pros and cons of said options. Only after he’s satisfied with his decision will he even go through with it, taking his time in order to maximize his gain and minimize his loss.
-
- Player.
- Just as he loves his cons, he loves being a player. He knows that the gods gifted him with the looks needed to draw women to him like flies, and he uses it like he does everything else, to the fullest of its capability. It’s not unusual to find a different girl at his side every day, and he makes no secret about it either, allowing others to see that most have no other use than to please him, and as such he also is showing in his own way just how hard it would be to win his steel heart.
-
- Wants to Rule the World.
- The sky is never the limit, not with Crucifix. Rather, the limit is his own limitations, which he proves to be few and far in between because of the way he carries himself and conducts himself. He doesn’t give in easily, and power is the only thing he’s ever loved, besides his foster son Nicolae. The brute will do just about anything to get power, and he isn’t afraid to be violent to get it either. Not to mention that there are never any possibilities he isn’t willing to face and or make use of.
-
- Suave.
- Cru is ever the suave gentleman, even though he loves and leaves. Always smooth in tone and words, he doesn’t let anything ruffle his fur, at least not visibly, and for that matter, inwardly too. He knows emotions are weaknesses, and only allows those that make him stronger in his mind, of which include anger and dominance.

The Past
History:
Crucifix was born in Italy, at a famous vineyard. He was raised, poked and prodded into being the perfect little pet, available for attraction to the visitors and tourists that frequented the winery. The male, unlike his spineless mother and siblings, was like his father, a wolf of the wildest type, and he longed for freedom. Years passed in similar succession, until the vineyard owner passed away, and Cru was passed down to a daughter, who then shipped him off to America in a crate with other animals headed to a similar fate. By the time he arrived at his destination, he'd killed the other animals in his pen, showing he was dominant to the point of killing another to show it, and he escaped to freedom. The canines in the pen had been dogs, and had turned upon him at first sign of their own hunger pains, betraying him in the worst way, inducing a fierce hatred of their kind within him. Since he was always really feral, he adjusted almost instantly to the way of life that came of living in the wilderness, and had his owner seen him, he would not have thought him a tamed wolf, born and raised as he had been.
