PHYSICAL. greer is a tall, lanky wolf - gangly, too, but not in the way that newborn pups are gangly. no, greer has a certain amount of grace about him that seems to balance out his awkward figure. however, his height is not all that is awkward about him: his paws still seem a touch too big for his skinny legs, his ears are big and bat-like in appearance, and it seems like there isn’t enough muscle on his body. his coat, reddish-orange in colour, hangs off of his frame, draped over his bones like a blanket. it’s a sure sign that he isn’t done growing yet, but he already stands 36†at the shoulder so it’s more likely he’ll just put on more weight than get taller. each of his four legs is dipped in black up to mid-thigh where it transitions back to his red-orange coat in a perfect gradient. his snout, too, is distinct ebony, but his chin and chest are white as snow. the tip of his tail is also pure ivory, but the mane that run downs his neck, ending at his shoulders, is black as night. his eyes are dark brown, almost black, with a shine that makes it clear that greer is paying more attention to your actions than you might think.

PERSONALITY. greer is a very CHARISMATIC young equine who has an interesting and mysterious personality that seems to draw others to him without a question. there are, of course, other factors that need to be considered as support to his alluring character. through his wit and charm and intelligence, greer’s personality becomes quite appealing to his peers, aiding him in the maintenance of these MAGNETIC qualities. however, there is absolutely no false performance given to create or enhance these traits; greer is naturally CHARMING, a trait that became rather prominent during his childhood - before his mother died, anyway. but it was after his mother died that his ability and enjoyment for MANIPULATING others began to manifest and, to this day, he has no qualms when it comes to exploiting those who are close to him. greer finds it amusing to manipulate others for his own amusement, although he only takes advantage of this form of control to get something that he wants, usually an agreement from the other party involved. he rarely influences one to do anything that is actually meaningful. that is to say, he is quite SELFISH when he doesn’t concentrate on being a good person. greer only cares about himself; he only looks out for number one, or so he likes to think.
when it really comes down to it, deep down inside, he really is a good soul. he’s very LOYAL to his friends and family - or he would be, if he had any - and, despite his rather serious flaws, he would do absolutely anything within his power to protect those who are close to him. however, there are evidently only a few people whom greer will allow to get close to him because he is the type of wolf who is rather UNTRUSTING. he is extremely careful when it comes to his emotions and he has a fear of getting hurt emotionally, like he did when his mother passed, which is also why he usually does not care to interact with females. he is interested in females, of course, but he is also very CAUTIOUS when it comes to his emotional well being. when it comes to his corporeal welfare, greer is extremely RECKLESS and he has absolutely no qualms about his personal safety, though he never fails to warn others to watch their step. he is a bit of a HYPOCRITE when it comes down to it.
however, if greer, himself ever says that he has no love for others and he wouldn’t do a thing if they were injured or in danger, you should cast aside these declarations because he can be quite the LIAR. in fact, he has a poker face that could be considered infallible by most due to the fact that it is almost impossible to determine whether or not he is lying or not. although, there are a select handful of acquaintances who, when greer was part of a sect, recognized the funny tick that tends to occur in his left eye when he tells a fib, but these people are all very close friends of his, and, usually, even they do not notice the odd, involuntary twitch unless a third party mentions it. the group of people whom greer chooses to confide in are possible more elite and restricted than any other faction because he is a rather ENIGMATIC person. he does not reveal his secrets easily and it’s quite pliable that no one can ever say that they know everything about him.
MOTHER. yolandi, deceased

SIBLINGS. nameless, deceased
HISTORY. it wasn’t long after the packs realized that they would have to leave the homeland to escape the disease that greer and his brother were born. however, his brother, still unnamed, contracted the disease and died within hours - there was nothing that could be done to save him. the fact that greer didn’t catch the disease was a miracle. immediately after this tragedy, yolandi, greer’s mother, picked him up by the scruff and his legs didn’t touch land again until the packs were safely across the ocean. he doesn’t remember the harrowing journey, but the sight of the vast expanse of water makes him shudder to this very day. the way his father tells it, he and yolandi would pass the newborn pup to one another so that the other could rest their jaws, trying their very best to ignore his cries of hunger as they fought to cross the treacherous rock that bridged the two lands.
once across, yolandi and orpheus thought that they and their pup would be safe - the disease couldn’t reach them here. they were very, very wrong, of course. a length of time passed and greer grew quickly. his mind and body developed and he became able to retain memories. in fact, one of his earliest memories is the second tragedy that struck his family. the disease came to the island, though no one would tell greer how it got there. his mother caught the disease but she refused to eat the plant that would prolong her life, saying that it was unnatural and that she would rather die. the look on her face - vicious and angry - would be burned into young greer’s mind for the rest of his life. after a period of suffering, yolandi finally passed away.
greer became terrified of the disease. he would wake up howling from nightmares in which he contracted the disease and became a demon. it would be almost two years before these nightmares would pass into nothingness. the tragedy would do nothing to greer’s relationship with his father, except drive them apart. greer’s reckless behaviour would bring father and son to screaming matches until, one day, greer couldn’t take it any longer. without a word, in the middle of the day, he got up and walked away from the pack without looking back. since then he has been wandering, trying to scheme ways that he can rid the sects of the disease forever - and ultimately failing.
