Norwegian Lundehund. The Norwegian Puffin Dog. Ren takes pride in his breed, and should a time come when he feels it's time to reproduce, it will only be with another Lundehund. Not terribly large, Søren makes up for his rather small stature with remarkable - and unusual - agility. As with all Puffin Dogs, he is capable of spreading his legs out to either side of his body, lying completely flat. He can also bend his head back until his nose touches his back. His extra toes are fully-functional and jointed, making him a skilled climber. Just as his ancestors were able to hundreds of years before him, he can scale cliffs like a star, and even has experience climbing up trees in order to hide in the top branches. His light weight absolutely helps him with this, and it is why he feels superior over larger dogs.

Although his coat colors are fairly unusual for other breeds, Søren is nothing extraordinary when it comes to comparing him to other Lundehunds. A dark brownish-red covers his head and shoulders, with a nice sandy-red color draping itself over his eyes and back. The top of his tail is a peppered mix of black, brown, and red. Black covers the tip of his tail, though a thin stripe of white can also be seen. A lovely creamy color covers his muzzle, cheeks, his entire neck, his chest, the insides of all four legs, and all four paws. He has very dark, molten gold eyes, outlined in black, and a black nose with black lips.

Søren is mostly an extraordinarily healthy canine. He has a great immune system, and strong breeding to give him an excellent conformation to the breed - though he is on the small side. And he will certainly make sure you believe he is in top health, with no weaknesses. But Ren has one glaring issue, one that ever Lundehund alive has - though few know it or even understand it. Lundehund Syndrome. Although it can be a terrible problem for some Lundehunds, the digestive disorder doesn't affect Søren to the point of being deadly. He is very careful to eat only meals that are very high in nutritional value for him, and he tends to try and eat a very large variety of meats, vegetables, and even berries if he can find them.

actor ? Deep inside his heart of hearts, there is very little to be found there. Truthfully, Ren feels nothing. But you'd never know it. He can smile with the best of them, pretend to be something he isn't. His acting skills are superb, refined since he was just a tiny puppy. Søren can lie through his teeth without a single misplaced word, a hitch of the breath, or even his heart beating faster. He has no concerns for those he lies to, nor how the lie will affect them down the road. Give him bad news, and Ren will even show you tears if he's "supposed" to, and a sorrowful, mournful whimper, though he wouldn't feel this way on the inside.

analytical ? Nothing is done without purpose, without strict thinking. There is no spontaneity about this young male. He takes time to plan, to figure his options. When he's given orders, Ren makes sure he's able to fulfill those orders to the best of his abilities by ensuring he knows what he's getting into. He is exceedingly calculative, his mind working fast, diligent. No paths are forgotten in his mind. A miraculous achievement in itself, the Puffin Dog takes it even further. While most take much time to figure and deliberate, Søren is able to think quickly, even on the spot.

confident ? No ounce of doubt can be seen in his eyes, no second-guessing. Ren may not be the boldest of canines, but every decision he makes, is made in confidence. He trusts in his abilities. He trusts that whatever he does is right, is correct. Ren carries himself with his head held high, chest puffed out. He's almost arrogant in the way he speaks and acts.

emotionless ? Ren doesn't just carry a mask of indifference. He genuinely feels indifferent toward everything and everyone. He feels no love for duo who give him his orders, and truthfully, is loyal only because he views them as strong and capable, worthy of his loyalty. Ren is capable of acting 'normal' because of how much he's learned from past experiences. He knows what facial expressions to pull and when to pull them, he knows the words to use, the language to speak, even the walk to walk. A conniving, soulless canine is all that he is.

genius ? Perhaps because the portion of his brain controlling emotions is lacking, or perhaps it's all genetics. Whatever the case, Ren is a thinker. If he were given an IQ test, chances are, he'd rank up there with previous canid geniuses. As previously explained, he's learned how to talk, and his mind is a fascinating place to be in. Emotions absent, Ren is capable of being logical, of really considering options without having to worry about something as silly as lives or family.

listener ? Even when he acts like an outgoing, friendly animal, Ren is always listening. His favorite 'character' to play is the soft-hearted, gentle, kind young male, willing to sit and listen. He takes in all the information that's given, and works it to his advantage.

obedient ?

observant ?

secretive ?

tactful ?
