Salem (Stray)

Description
Salem has a slender and light build, and has a knack for getting to hard-to-reach places. He looks a lot more like an Akita in form, but Salem's pelt doesn't really belong to either breed. It's a motley of various browns, ranging from the Akita's light brown to an uncharacteristic umber, with small, grey patches by the chest, snout, and paws.

Health
Relatively healthy for his current situation. Slightly skinny and malnourished looking, but not in a way that impedes him very much.

Voice
Average in pitch, but usually has an icy edge to it when speaking to people he is not familiar with. He's often guarded and sarcastic, and can be counted on to make wry comments in bad situations.

Personality
From a life on the streets, Salem has learned to take what he can and use it to his advantage. He's perceptive, and not afraid to use what others might call 'dirty tactics' to get away. Though it isn't 'honourable', Salem prefers to avoid battle and get away rather than actually have conflict, and no matter what others say, he's okay with it. All he cares about is the survival of those he cares about - a rather select group of dogs, that he won't try and expand any time soon. Once one gets entry into this family of sorts, though, Salem will do anything to protect them, to the point of self-sacrifice.

Early Life
Salem is a street dog, born and raised. Though it was long enough ago that the specifics have since faded, Salem was brought up in a pack of other strays, living together in an abandoned warehouse. He's unsure as to whether the dogs there were actually related to him or not, but in his eyes it doesn't make them any less of the closest thing he's ever had to a family. Of course, good things rarely last in the life of a stray. When he was only 7 months old, dog-trainers looking for new members for their affiliation found the group, and decided to set the old building on fire in an attempt to smoke any dogs out. Salem managed to carry a small Bee out of the burning warehouse, and out into the streets. As far as he knows, they were the only two to escape.

Life on the Streets
Salem had to grow up quickly to provide for himself and Bee, and now live a rather peaceful life on the streets. Or, at least, as peaceful as it can get as a stray dog in a city filled to the brim with dog fights. He has generally been able to stay under the radar of both the various affiliations in Morwick and other dogs. There have been a few close scrapes, however, but Salem and his sister have mostly been safe.
