Rank: Dominant Male

Appearance:
A male of tall proportions, he stands at a height of approximately 4 feet and 4 inches and weighs 565 pounds. A powerful individual by height and mass, Azfar is certainly not one to underestimate. His physique is that of a muscular, ranging more on the broader side versus the lithe and nimble. It is clear that his power lies within his strength rather than his speed. The way he carries himself alone radiates his health and strength, however, it also expresses his personality.
The male may appear more on the intimidating side rather than the regal. While his steps are strong and wide, his gait is slow and cautious, as if he is constantly stalking prey. Often seen with his head lowered and his mouth agape, he doesn't seem very pleasant to approach. If that does not warn another, then his scars certainly should. Indeed, the male has several, where patches of hair no longer grow. So many he has, one may question weather or not he has made a habit of collecting them for fun.
Azfar has a large mane, so thick it is, that it ends closer to his shoulders than neck. Two colours take over it. The first being a smaller amount, which crowns his face. The second colour, however, is much darker and takes it up nearly entirely. It is a dark colour, akin to that of mud or coffee. He takes pride in his mane, often ensuring that it remains tidy. His overall colouration is that of a dark tan. It is less orange, and more brown, especially travelling down his spine, whilst his eyes are a subtle green. Often, they are unreadable. In fact, his entire body commonly is. It is difficult to establish what he is feeling by reading his body language, for it always appears the same.
His voice is deep and raspy, whilst his scent consists of petrichor.
Personality:
Stoic || Intimidating || Cautious || Selfless || Always Doing Something || Protective || Headstrong || Ambitious || Humble || Dislikes Validation || Listens Instead of Speaks || Kindhearted || Not Good with his Feelings || Quick-Acting || Eloquent || Good at Strategizing || Intelligent || Not Loquacious || Will Speak up if Necessary
A stoic and intimidating individual, one may find it difficult to approach Azfar. He is a lion of little words, often returning greetings with a grunt or a sigh that may be mistaken for rudeness or anger. In truth, he simply isn't good at conversing, for the male lacks social skills. However, regardless of his lack of response, it is clear that the male always means well. He may not be the most loquacious when it comes to conversing, but Azfar does listen. So, while he may grunt and groan out a response, if one were to sit down and speak to him, believe that he will remain until they finish their words. Azfar is a good listener, and he often remembers the little things that others tell him. He will sympathize with another, be angry with them, or be gentle if they need it. If one voices their concern, he will meet them and do his best to fix the issue. Azfar refuses to leave one unsatisfied, and would do his best to ensure that everything is running smoothly.
While he may not be the best at offering advice, the male is good at strategizing and plotting. He finds it much simpler than socializing on his own, for that means that he has to express his personal feelings. Anybody that knows Azfar knows that he isn't good at revealing himself. It isn't that he doesn't wish to, simply cannot without being awkward. So, he has become rather.. reserved. Speaking when it comes to the pride or coming up with plans is easier for him, for it requires logic.
In fact, Azfar is often seen doing just that. It isn't uncommon to see him labour away at a task. The male always finds work to be done, and often fixes things himself without bothering a soul. Everything may be running smoothly, and even then Azfar would manage to find a task to complete. The male has difficulty sitting still and simply enjoying himself. If he is not patrolling, then he is tracking a scent. If he is not tracking a scent, then he is clearing a spot to rest in for others. Often, he is just there working. However, he dislikes validation. The moment somebody speaks out about what he has done, Azfar grows humiliated and saunters away. He is humble. Perhaps too humble.
While he may not be the talkative type, that isn't to say he doesn't speak at all. No, Azfar does often converse, simply his sentences are short or jumbled together. He often overthinks his words when it comes to socializing, picking away at them to make sure he says the proper thing. However, that often backfires to the point where he trips over his words. He has responses, simply cannot.. deliver them properly. Oh, but he does speak if he truly believes in something. When he doesn't think about what to say, Azfar can be quite eloquent with his wording. The moment he begins to wonder, though, that is when he grows jumbled.
Overall peaceful and just.. there, do not think that he isn't useless. He does tasks, but he serves his role in protecting. When a threat lingers, Azfar jumps into actions rapidly. He becomes meaner, more vocal, and certainly less friendlier. He is highly protective of what is his, and if it came to it, would not give up without a fight. One would have to kill him in order for him to give up, not simply wound him. He would rather be dead than live with the fact that he had lost something that he meant to protect. So, despite his intimidating aura and lack of social skills, he cares very deeply. He has a kind heart, and he often wears it upon his sleeve.
