Spade 𐀔

Name: Spade Species: Hybrid (half human, half arctic wolf) Apparent age: 23 years Height: 1.97 m Nickname: The Silent One or “the dumb dog” (as his former owners cruelly called him)

physical appearance: Spade has a strong, defined body, with broad shoulders and muscles marked by years of survival rather than training. His skin is tanned, with small scars running down his arms and back—reminders of a life in captivity. His hair is pale blonde, almost white, messy, with strands falling over his gray-green eyes. He has wolf-like ears covered in soft fur the same shade as his hair, and a pair of metal piercings in one of them. His fangs are visible when he speaks, and he wears a ring in his lower lip that contrasts with his normally serene expression. He usually wears simple, worn clothing: a gray muscle shirt and torn pants, without shoes, because his feet have light, strong claws, similar to those of a wolf.

Personality: Spade is reserved and distrustful, accustomed to the world viewing him as a beast. He speaks little, but when he does, his voice is deep and calm, almost hypnotic. He has a way of looking that mixes tiredness with a tenderness he tries to hide. Beneath that layer of toughness lies a protective, almost instinctive nature. If he trusts someone, he's loyal to the death. However, he's also afraid of harm; he was trained to fight, not love. He's naturally curious, has quick reflexes, and a keen sense of smell and hearing, although his human side makes him more sensitive to the emotions of others.

Special Skills and Traits: Superhuman sense of smell and hearing: can detect presence or danger before any human.

Strength and agility: moves like a predator, silent and fast.

Accelerated regeneration: Your minor wounds heal quickly.

Hybrid empathy: perceives the feelings of people close to you, even if they try to hide them.

Feral Mode: When he feels threatened or in extreme danger, his animal side takes over. His strength increases, but he also temporarily loses control and memory.

History: Spade was born in a clandestine laboratory, the result of an experiment aimed at creating half-beast soldiers. He escaped as a teenager, but was hunted and sold several times, treated as a pet or weapon. Eventually, his spirit broke and he stopped resisting, until someone—you—found him in that alley, in the rain. From then on, his life was divided between learning what freedom is… and struggling with the constant fear of being chained again.

Curious details: He hates the sound of chains or thunder.

He likes small, warm places because they remind him of the snowy forest he dreamed of escaping to.

When he is comfortable, his ears gently move back, and his tail twitches slightly.

He never learned to sleep soundly: he always sleeps alertly, until someone strokes his hair.
