C O A T || Throughout his coat Ottokar is unevenly blended with creams, coppers, chestnuts, silvers, blacks, and a small amount of beige on his muzzle. The four of his limbs are highlighted with ginger and his face mask is also a majority of his hue as well. The rest of his pelt is ticked with various tones of brown and grey, adding a blending and fading effect to his hide
E Y E S || The male has golden eyes that may at often times appear a burning orange or an amber when viewed from a certain point with the right amount of sunlight
P H Y S I Q U E || Otto's build is not one of a fighters but rather, with his narrow chest, close spaced shoulders, and lengthy legs, Ottokar is one built for speed. His torso is loosely clung to by his fur and he is overall a skinny and meek looking brute with his lack of height, as well. Though even so, the small guy has managed to earn the muscle on his legs that help some overlook his almost puppy-ish height stance

C H A R A C T E R I S T I C S || Ottokar has always been the odd ball of his litter, and he still is the weirdo he was when he was only a whelp. Otto will be the one to worry consistently about any and everything. He is the one to make faces behind your back, have mental conversations with himself, and will laugh at stupid things that weren't even meant as a joke. The male can and will make everything a big deal as he is quite the dramatic fellow. Whether it starts to rain or he is about to die from a savage elephant attack, he is the one to make a big deal about it. When talking, Otto will rarely ever make sense. Other than that the male can be quite...awkward to converse with because he often just stares at you randomly and spaces out occasionally . And when he appears to be acting serious, chances are, he isn't. He will most likely be doing an awful happy dance in his head, trying to figure out a not-so-logical reason as to why the sky is blue, or he might just be trying to find a solution why you're talking to his weird self. Despite that, there is some upsides to his personality. And one of those is, absolutely nothing slips his attention. He takes a mental note of everything weird, and then he will talk about it in his head. The worrying part mentioned earlier, that is where this comes in. He worries over little changes and takes precautions over every thing, so most of the time it is hard for him to be mentally or emotionally surprised that something has happened as he has already prepared for it in his head, most likely. Other than that Ottokar can be described in a single word, and that word is: peculiar
A B I L I T I E S || His nervous behavior often leads him in a state of panic but even more often leads the brute planning outcomes to what is happening in the world around him, meaning that Otto is often prepared for what is to come. His speed is higher than most and his stamina is slightly above average, and his hunting skills for small game is accurate even if larger game leaves him breathless and panting. On a last note, the small brute has great eye sight and his vision is sharp and crisp, allowing him to keep notice of everything around him, unless he is to small to see it, that is
D I S A B I L I T I E S || Of course, the first thing a wolf may notice about Ottokar is his lack of size. His height averaging of a large female, and his torso and overall brute strength is at a low. And of course this only adds an excuse for his miserable fighting skills. Sure, he can hold up his own weight in a fight even if he will most likely get injured, but he just isn't educated in that line of battling expertise. He is one to run from his problems, not hit them dead on
H A B I T S || Ottokar may occasionally be found glancing at the sky, rolling his eyes at any wolf, and his eyes are almost always narrowed at the wolf in which he is speaking or listening to. The male has a tendency to socialize with himself and his attention span is rather low, meaning he may stray off topic and you may find him talking to you something out of the ordinary that isn't even remotely related to the original topic of interest. Besides the male has a habit of vigorously waving his head to the side and back when he is in a stressed state, looking as if he were trying to shake his head 'no' or as if he were attempting to make himself dizzy

H I S T O R Y || Ottokar and his brother, Saelak, had been born just as the virus had begun to defect the world and take over the sanity and souls of the creatures that dwelled. The two brothers lived as peacefully as they could in the changing world, watching and learning as their mother taught them the ways of survival. The two were smart for their age, catching on quickly at everything they were taught and they had even been pleased to follow their mothers foot steps. At the time, their father was only watching them from afar, he didn't get too involved with their lives and never helped with the training, he would only watch with serious and displeasing eyes. Seeing as the two pups were not familiar with a caring father, they didn't care that he wasn't around as they were used to it, but slowly as weeks turned into months and they found themselves at their fourth month of living in their small yet comfortable den under a creaking bridge, their father became even more abscent and began to disappear into the late of the night, after the sun dipped below the horizon and once the moon was a silver platter in the full sky. Ottokar and Saelak were the only two seeing him dashing away from the den as their mother would of drifted to sleep by time he left, but they never said anything to her, deciding it was none of their business. By the time two months had passed since their fathers mysterious behavior, the two had been taught to officially go out and gather their own food in which they would bring back to the den to show their mother their findings. Even though Otto and Sael were almost opposite towards each other with Otto being a weird racer and Sael being a serious fighter, they were still close and enjoyed each others and their mothers company, the two were best friends. By the time their mother had discovered of their fathers continuous disappearance at night, she had suddenly become depressed, staying in the den and avoiding her children's curious gazes and her mates uncaring stare. Little did Otto and his brother know, their life was about to change. One day when the two brothers were ten months old, their father disappeared all together. One day he was there, the next he wasn't. He vanished, and they all knew that he had run off to where he had gone every night, only this time he would be staying for good. Since their father wasn't necessarily a big part in their lives, Otto didn't really care that he had left for some reason that was only known by his mother by suspicion. Instead, Otto and his brother carried on with their lives, only, this time, father wasn't there and mother was slowly fading from existence...Ottokar wasn't sure what had happened to his mother, he only knew she never retreated from the den, heck, they could barely get her to eat the food they offered! Left with only assumptions, the two brothers settled on a silent agreement that mother must be sad because father was no longer there. The two of them were furious that he had left and made mother sad, and the two decided they would go and find their father and bring him home, so their mother would be happy once again. But the night they left, it only took them the entire day to track him down after wandering through the forest. It was evening come time they saw him, the sky darkening and shadows expanding into the darkness. Despite it being a struggle to see exactly what was there, Otto and Sael both knew what they saw. It was their father, standing with another feminine as the two watched three pups, all of them most likely being half Otto's and Sael's age. Had their father found another mate and brought offspring with her, leaving mother and them behind in the dust? The answer was obvious. Leaving the scene with anger, they came back home and went into the den, knowing full well that mother was aware of fathers actions. Only, there was one problem: the den was empty. Confused and frightened for their mothers safety, they tried to track her down but by the time they found her trail, a heavy rain fall drenched them and swept the scent away. Feeling defeated and a fraction of depression deep inside them, Otto and Sael hurried back to the den, planning to wait and see if mother would come back, otherwise they would look for her in the morning. Came morning without a sight of their parent, they left the crevice in the bridge they called home and searched with high spirits, but later that evening the two brothers came back, once again defeated and hungry. Going to bed without a meal that night, they felt helpless. Two more nights passed without a sign of mother and the two began to lose hope, so on the fifth morning she went missing, they stopped searching. Thinking the worst, they took care of themselves for another week, surviving easily in their safe abode. But unlike last time, they weren't happy in their little safe haven. Came the second week of their mothers disappearance was the day trouble came. A savage animal, dead in the eyes and teeth gnashing, intruded into Otto's and Sael's safe clearing. The wolf was bone thin with sagging skin and all in all, it looked like it was supposed to be dead. The wolf charged Sael and that was when it hit them, it was obvious that the wolf had the virus but something else caused the alarm, it was their mother. Panic arising and fear of getting the virus from her yet worry at having to hurt her, the two did the only reasonable thing they could do, they bolted. The forest whizzed by in a blur as the two ran, terrified of what ran behind them with vicious intent. From there their life happened quickly. It only took a day for them to lose their home, and then it took only one more for Otto and Sael to be separated. Otto wasn't sure what happened, the morning after they escaped their mother, they had awoken with everything seeming normal, and then just a little later did Sael decide he was thirsty and took to the river for a drink. It was supposed to only take fifteen minutes tops to get there, drink, and then back. But the thing is, Saelak never came back. Ottokar waited for hours, too afraid to go check on him. What if Saelak had caught the virus and went to kill him? What if Otto went to find his brother only to find his dead body? After only another minute of frustration, worry, and regret, Otto went to the river, seeing...nothing. No blood, no body, nothing but the signs around him that told Otto something was terribly wrong. From the slashes in the dirt to the smell of stranger that was most likely virus diseased animals, and then, to the sense of fear that seemed to radiate off the place. Otto could only assume that virus diseased things had chased him from the river. The only question was, did Saelak escape, or was he caught...? Ottokar was once again afraid, afraid of the answer, afraid of the clues, and afraid for what lie ahead. But still, Otto held the hope that his brother would meet him ahead of his journey as the male trekked northward, a promise the two brothers had made. The two of them were to travel north, whether they were alone or not. That way, if one was to get lost like they did, then they could find each other on the northern side of the horizon. Only, Ottokar's wishes haven't been answered and he hasn't found his brother. Instead, after traveling for nearly two years, he found someplace else, ony he isn't sure what exactly it is. But he sure does plan on finding out
