Rival

Thanks so much for entering! <33

Character Personality: Rival is an exceptional hybrid with a heart of gold. His guardian instincts are second to none, and he derives immense satisfaction from feeling useful. Guarding the camp is his passion, and he has become a master at distinguishing friend from foe, keeping his pack safe from harm. While he hopes to have more pack members soon, he is content with the company of Jaskel and Lyria. Speaking of Lyria, Rival has developed a crush on her and is eager to explore and understand his feelings. He is a complex and sensitive soul, and his love for his pack is matched only by his desire to protect and care for them.

Backstory/Story: Rival was a hybrid of some colorful experiments, born in a lab. He was raised there to study what the genes did to his coat. Also being shown off at shows for money, his handlers were not too careful, and he escapes with the help of the handler’s personal hybrid, Jaskel. Jaskel had seen how his master treated the hybrids in the shows and wanted to escape with them. Helping Rival out of the restraints, they fled to the woods. Fighting other packs, Rival was the protection and Jaskel the brains, getting food and shelter while Rival guarded their small camp. Later, Rival meets Lyria, a female common dog and she joins their pack. Jackel, still hunting, takes Lyria and teaches her the way of getting food.
