Physical Description 

• Big colorful heavyset rhino
• Potentially a ghost????  For some reason he doesn't give straight answers when people outright ask if he's, y'know, dead
  • He's corporeal, mostly, but also his eyes glow and his coworkers swear they once glimpsed him walking right through a wall
• Two horns, with the larger one farther down his nose
• Head's kind of shaped like a bean
• His skin is leathery and rough - no fur on his main body - and his mohawk is bristly to the touch
• His mohawk/mane stops at his lower back
• Doesn't have to wear the clothes in his (super old) ref; he has a very "park ranger"-y uniform

Personality 

• Gentle, patient
• Likes to listen to others vent
• Very protective; keeps a close eye on anyone he thinks might need some help
• Willing to be a friend to anyone he meets

Likes 

• Nature
  • He grew up on a farm, and feels most at home outdoors
• Listening to people
• Patrolling the refuge in the early morning, with the wind in his mane and barely anything moving

Dislikes 

• Poachers
  • He's not allowed to investigate potential poaching on the refuge anymore after the "accident" that befell the last poachers he "looked at"
• Big cities; industrialization
• People spreading misinformation without bothering to check their facts first

Personal Info 

• Likes to make things, not buy things; doesn't place much value on money
  • He's sold the baskets he's weaved before but would honestly rather just give them away
• Will eat all of your broccoli and cheese
• Extremely Lawful Good

Trivia 

• The western black rhino was declared extinct in 2011
