Description

John is a character I loosely based off of myself. John's appearance in both human and wolf form is described below. His general figure is shown in the picture above though they are not very accurate. For example the wolf form coat is displayed incorrectly, as his paws could be though the sleeves as well and the coat still buttoned up. The other objects shown above include his pipe and some concept lockets he could wear. His actual necklace is a silver and goal medallion similar to this artwork: himaru-kun.deviantart.com/art/… Again, the drawing is not completely accurate and needs to be re-drawn in the future. It should be noted that John can hold his pipe and smoke it in his wolf form.

References for the wolf and humans were used for decent anatomy.

Human (Main form)
John is a dark red haired human with golden wolf eyes and a long scar running from right shoulder to left hip; an old sword wound. He is wide shouldered and chested and muscular, yet his body is lean rather then bulky. Most of his muscles tone comes from general travel and sword-work, meaning his form arms muscles are built up rather then biceps. John usually wears a green coat over a white or cream coloured medieval-style linen shirt. Other coat colours can include blue, red, purple, black, brown, and white. His shirt can either be long or short sleeved. If he is not wearing his coat the long sleeves of his shirt (if the shirt has them) are rolled up to his elbows. His jean-like pants (or usual breeches) consist of varying colours, usually blue or cream, or tan or brown. John has a single pair of brown shin high boots which can be turned up or down at the tops, though he usually goes barefoot; Because of that his feet are callused. Lastly, John has a brown, ordinary sword belt buckled either over or under his coat. His hand-and-a-half / bastard sword sword is simple length of grey steel and has a humble weather-worn wooden leather-wrapped scabbard. He wears a dark wool hooded cloak and a dark coloured ankle-length wool coat in winter; either usually the colours of dark blue or dark grey. John usually keeps his wolf tail in his human form. The end of his tail reaches to the middle of his calf.

Coats; There are two types of coats John can wear.
Tail coat: The torso, being shorter than the back and only going to waist height, is buttoned up. The long sleeves  button at the cuffs. The back is longer then the torso and goes past his waist, but does not go past the knees. John's coats never fall below the knees. The tail coat is split down the middle just after it falls below waist height. This is for style, riding (horses), and so John's tail can lay comfortably. The collar can be turned up or down.

Long coat: The entire coat is the same length all around. The front buttons from his waist up and the long sleeves button at the cuffs. The coat is split down the middle just after it falls below wait height. This is for style, riding (horses), and so John's tail can lay comfortably. The collar can be turned up or down.

More elegant coats designs that John could wear would include his forest green colored coat with a scaled-leaf pattern crawling up the left and right arms and more leave patterns on the back, or a fiery red coat with stylized flames in the same places, or a water blue one with stylized waves; also in the same places as the green and red coats. All elegant coats have either gold or silver embroidery.

John's coats in his wolf form are kept on because of how he shifts between his two forms, but the rest of his cloths dissipate magically. His coats are either worn two ways. One way is with the coat held on my a simple clip around the neck, similar to how a cloak is kept on. The coat is unbuttoned fully and allowed to move freely for the most part. The other way John's coats can be worn is with his wolf's front legs though the sleeves and buttoned up around his chest. The coat does not move around much.

Wolf (Secondary form)
John is a reddish rust coloured red ethiopian wolf mix, leaning more towards the former. He has a sword scar on his back running from left hip to right shoulder. Black darkened guard hairs run from the back of his neck to the base of his tail and fade down his sides. From there they are joined by his rust colour fur and gradually change to an almost orange-cream colour before connecting to his white, slightly cream underbelly. The other white parts include his lower muzzle to nose level, chest, the underside and tip of tail. The inside of his legs are white. In general, wherever the fur changes from rust colour to white it become lighter shades along the way. His face has only a light rust colour, like most of his body is, with little darker fur. His his tail is longer then that of a normal wolf but slighter shorter then that of a fox. His eyes look like polished gold.

Other information
John has a pipe and likes to smoke. It's not as bad as cigs when it's natural tobacco; it is about as bad as breathing in wood smoke, which still isn't the best but isn't gonna kill you. John likes adventure; to explore and see new sights; especially if it involves chasing rumors about such places. John travels with a friend named Mary who he met by chance in the sun-shower thicket; a place which is constantly misted by light rains during the day, hence the area's name.
