Borzoi (Russian Wolfhound)
Physical Appearance
Body Type:
Ectomorph; very tall with long limbs and a lithe body. Built like a long-distance sprinter, with muscle for fast movement and smooth agility.
Physical Details:
Furred with a long, flat, and silky that varies in waviness and curliness, with plenty of feathering at the limbs, tail, stomach, ears, and neck. .
Physical Markings:
Black and white; see picture below for extra details.
Physical Drawbacks:
Borzaya suffers from a condition known as CIP - congenital insensitivity to pain. Quite simply, he has a high insensitivity to pain and temperature. He cannot process it like how a normal person does, though he can feel the sensation of touch, be it gentle, ticklish, or pleasurable, and know when he needs to eat or if he needs to use the restroom.
Regardless, his so-called "blessing" is in reality a curse. Since he cannot feel the pain of a blade cutting him or the snapping of bones, he is always at risk of overexerting his body and possibly exsanguinating or laming himself. Fortunately, he has learned to cope with the loss of sensation, and can make judgments to forfeit a match before causing lasting or fatal damage to himself.
Current Infliction(s):
None.
Physical Defenses:
Genetics and physical form can let him run in an abrupt sprint. Long jaws are meant for grasping and holding tightly with a vice-like force.
Appealing Attributes:
Fluffy. Trained as a match fighter for the majority of life. Capable hunter.
Clothing:
A pair of dark, frayed trousers in need of repair or replacement.
Other Items:
Two twin daggers, akin to bowie knives.
Behavior
Feral or Cultured:
Cultured, though a bit socially inept.
Phobias:
Not a fear, but he has a profound dislike/distrust for wolves.
Disorders:
Nothing has been diagnosed for his mental state, though he seems eerily cheery about cutting others up. He also suffers from CIP, detailed above in "physical drawbacks". "Chronic Chasing Syndrome" - having the urge to pursue anything that runs from him.
How do they present themselves:
Friendly, with an innocent, almost naive smile, no matter who the person was. Even to those considered enemies, he smiles, even if it seems entirely fake.
Feelings towards being owned / rented:
He's been a slave all of his life, with only knowing the fighting aspects of servitude. He doesn't mind, and he can't see how being unowned would be better for him. If ownership/rentals head to more "mundane" tasks or for pleasure, he'll be quite unsure of what to do, given that he has no experience with anything other than violence. Other than that, he's quite cooperative with demands, even if he might not understand them.
Overall Attitude:
A cheerful, innocent dog, almost child-like in mannerisms and fortitude.
Quirks:
"Wah" seems to be a major component of his vocabulary. "Wah!" "Wah?" "Wah..."
Hobbies / Interests:
Fighting, chasing, eating rabbits, sleeping, fighting some more, running around, getting groomed.
High or Low Maintenance:
Low enough, though he does enjoy company. He is capable of taking care of himself, and does not require much for himself, be it food or clothing or quarters.
Diet / Allergies:
Mainly meat, with a big love for rabbit (and wolves of all kinds, including werewolf).

What are you looking for in a slave / slaver Roleplay:
I'm interested in someone owning Borzaya for the long term as a fighting slave, but I am also interested for anyone who will teach the borzoi extra skills, not just how to stab people in the guts.
What are your allowances for your character:
Anything and everything except extreme mutilation and death.
Long Term/Short Term:
Both is fine, with the former very much preferred.
General Information
Character Description:
Friendly smiles were almost always worn upon the giant sighthound; a borzoi blessed with the build of a long-distance sprinter. Despite the regality of the breed, the soft-eyed boy bore simple cloths, most importantly a thick collar around that long, scruffy neck which marked him as the lowest of the low; slave. Despite the good-natured attitude, the pup had a bloodthirsty bite, with an appetite for wolf.

Notes:
I reserve the right to deny anyone the ability to own Borzaya. In regards to ownership, I have every reason to be picky. I'd prefer it if your slave-owning character is someone who is already established in TGT, just so that I can have an understanding of your commitment to your own character. People making OOC claims to his ownership doesn't generally settle well with me; I'd rather we roleplay a couple of times before making such arrangements. Kind or strict or cruel, it doesn't really matter, as long as they make some use of the borzoi.
