His eyes:

Name: Rio Norton
Age: 14
Gender: Male
Date of Birth: August 23, 2002
Animal DNA: 1/2 Coyote & 1/2 wolf making him a coywolf
Physical Attributes: Amber eyes, ears, tail, sharp teeth and sharp brown claws.
Nationality: American
Strengths: He is good with computers and has an affinity for finding shelter. Nature responds well to him and he is a good swimmer and climber. He likes working with his hands as it keeps him from dwelling on his past and tends to make an odd array of tools. He has sharp claws and teeth. His slim body makes him agile.
Weaknesses: He isn't very fast, only able to run at a maximum of 45 km/h which is the top speed for coywolves. He is afraid of fire and of enclosed spaces. Terrified of thunderstorms. The vast expanse of water bothers him and as a result he tends to stick close to shore when swimming. He likes children and will do what he can for them as he doesn't want them to suffer like he did among the humans. He doesn't do well in hot weather.
Personality: Rio is a generally patient person and a good listener to others' problems though he is no shrink by any mean. He is intelligent and cunning, traits of his hybrid coywolf breed. He deeply misses his parents as Rio has no idea that his mother survived but he has barely any memories of them due to he was very young when his life turned bad. Rio prefers his solitude and doesn't make friends or relationships easily, believing it's best to push people away and then when they get hurt or die, it won't affect him as much. He is wary of the scientists and tries to avoid them at all possible, as well as not speaking of his time in what he terms...
that place or
Brimstone. Rio feels torn...his wolf side calling to join the pack (i.e. the other hybrids) and his coyote side saying to remain alone. Rio doesn't like confrontations and generally is silent when in a crowd, observing what goes on around him without taking any part in the activities of the community.
Likes: Chocolate, Reading, Art, Solitude, Being Outdoors, Hiking, Swimming, rain
Dislikes: Humans, Enclosed spaces, Crowds, Fire, Conflict, Doctors, thunderstorms
Backstory: Rio was born in 2002 to Margaret and Jack Norton. When he was three, he and his parents were in New York visiting his aunt when they were in a car accident. His father was trying to avoid hitting a deer on the country road and lost control of the car, killing himself and his seriously injuring Margaret and Rio. Rio was ejected from the car and landed several feet away from his mother who was rescued. She was taken to the hospital in bad shape but survived...only to be told her son and husband had perished in the crash. But Rio wasn't dead. He had fallen down the side of a hill and lay crumpled at the bottom of the hill, hidden by some bushes. The only thing they found of Rio was a shoe and his teddy bear. He was found by a man and sold to the lab where he was healed and thereafter endured ten years of slavery and torture, believing his parents had both perished.
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Crush: Open
Mate: None
Kids: None
Other: Has a sweet tooth for anything chocolate and an omnivore. He can shapeshift into his coywolf form which is 4 1/2 feet long & 45 lbs. The experiment gave him bright amber eyes, ears and tail in human form, sharp teeth and sharp brown claws; and the keen senses and predatory instincts of the coyote/wolf.
Ranking: Although he is part of the pack, he is also not a part of it, his two canine sides at war with each other. His wolf says to join while his coyote says to remain solitary. If he is anything within the ranking of a dog or wolf pack, it would be as an omega.
