Name:
Valor it means courage in Spanish

Age:
Valor is 25

Personality:
Brave- Valor is not afraid of humans even though he did lose the right side of his face to a human. Infact he even has a slight friendship with some younger humans. He often visits the cities outside of the Atacama desert and raids the villages for food when the days hunt was tough, which happens often.
Snappy- Valor has a very snappy attitude and he says alot of snide remarks and mumbles under his breath. One way to tell he is in a snappy mood is when he lets his head hang down as if he were hunting.
Possessive- Valor has major issues with possession. After mating with a female he hung around her longer than any other male of his kind would, to make sure that no other males approached her. When one did, he immediately attacked. Since he lives in the desert his group feeds off small animals constantly throughout the day, large prey are rare so once an animal is hunted it belongs only to the hunter. Valor takes this to heart, and acts this way to many things.
Very Caring- When he is possesive of living things he gets attached to them emotionally and will let lose and is most likely never snappy at such a thing. Unless it provides him some sort of motive.
Two Faced- Like any wild animal he can be kind one second and snappy and brutal and out of control the next. Sometimes he gets ticked off about small things like your blocking the sun from my view, or you took my favorite rock to sun on, or anything minor can set him off.

Likes and Dislikes:
Likes: Favorite food, owl's, since there a nice break from the usual tough skinned lizards and tough rabbit. Hot weather, Chasing sparrows and laying in the shrubbery

Story:

Family Life:
Valor, is from his mothers youngest litter. Valor and his two siblings, where raised in the Andean mountains peaks, which are always covered with snow. The mountains are composed of rugged hard rocky and shrub covered slick, mountain side. Valor was much fluffier when he lived in the mountains. Even though Valor was born with this sort of ambient, he never fancied the cold temperatures. This is actually his reason for moving to his desert location in Chile.

Valor was the first born and most self-reliant and independent even from the earliest point of his life. He was often not cared for or watched nearly as much as the youngest and clumbsiest. Especially since another predator carried away the fourth from his liter which is not counted or spoken of ever. Valors mother after the loss of the 4th pup became alot more protective, and but Valor was still un-watched the majority of his life. Valor often hung out with his little brother hunting small animals like squirrels and ground hogs. Sometimes baby goats. Wrestling like any young free animal siblings should.

How he Lost half of his face:
It was rather cold this afternoon, the sun was about to set, most of it was already hidden behind the mountains. Valor breathed in and out crumpling the parched ground beneath him dried dirt on top of crumbly hard grainy sand. He stood watching the village from the sand hill him and his group, a few others flicking their tails sitting up majestically as Valor's impatience reaching him. He had the most authority, he was also the one who was driven most by hunger, than his conscious. With a new group member the rest of the group was hesitant to leave there camp. Valor knew it would mean a long hungry and cold night would stretch between the next day light where they could hunt again. A slight breeze picked up the top layer of stray sand shifting it north. Sand picking up at there paws steps and whirling around them as if they were in its path before getting dropped as the wind died down. "There the wind is still, no dog could smell us approaching, am I going alone? or will one of you join me." The others sighed and shook there head a female standing up from where she had previously been sitting answered respectfully and easily, "No, Valor they will not be accompanying you tonight. But I will. I am the second eldest, and most capable of making sure you do not loose yourself to easily." Valor stared at her amused by her sense of reason. Maybe she just knows, how long the desert makes the night seem, as if the spiders which slowly crawl over your paws take centuries slowly allowing there long spider legs to tickle your skin and they walk over you making sure the fragile limbs go between hair and hair so that whenever pushing itself forward, you feel that slight tickling sensation. The nagging annoying feeling you wish were over, its worst when hungry. Stomach growling, lips chapped from the constant turn of your tongue over the flesh. Valor turned to focus on the village. The female walked up to Valor so they were standing leg to leg. "Shall we?" the female waited eyeing Valor trying to figure what he was thinking. Valor sighed and started off at a quick speed. The female panted as she tried to catch up, "Your strides are almost as long as mine, even though im a female and im larger than you." Valor glared, "Things are to be done, we need to be in and out quickly". The female snorted and let out a small humpff.

Valor stopped at the end of the village. "There is usually only one guard at this store house we are going to. Ill help you dig a hole in the back you use the hole to pull meat out you run it at i get the rest down, these people hang it up with us in mind." The female nodded keeping her head low. Valor lay his ears flat sniffing the air. No dogs were near. Good. I hope the mutts in the store house wont be that much of a problem. Valor and the female began to dig. After a few minutes there was a bid enough hole for Valor to slip through an drag meat through with him. Valor peeked in, there were two dogs sleeping on a fur mat. He slipped in and barred his teeth, jumping on the dogs. The first was finished as soon as Valor was upon him. The second took him by the scruff. Valor threw himself at the floor crushing the dog. Valor shook off his back a little blood trickling from where the dog had gripped him fur flat with saliva. Valor pulled the first carcass down and passed it to the female. He looked over his shoulder and glanced out the door to make sure he hadnt been detected yet. Satisfied he went to pull down the last carcass he was going to steal from the villagers. Outside the guards smiled, "Hey dude, my shift. I guess ill feed the dogs since you forgot again. Good things these mutts are to stupid to steal from us." The man whistled. Valors ears pricked. The female accompanying him flinched, "Im leaving im going to start taking the food." The female ran off full speed, Valor growled. The guards coming in wielding spears and torches, daylight gone. They began yelling things Valor couldn't understand. valor growled and backed out of the hole. Villagers gathered around the store house quicker than expected. Valor growled barring his teeth and spitting at the people surrounding him. The villagers began to close in on him.

Valor took advantage of teh last gap and leapt out of the circle, a villagers torch grazing his face his fur catching on fire. Valor yelped wildly. His body twisting into odd shapes, muscles flexing. As the beast rubbed his face wildly in the dirt. The burning sensation clinging to his skin as he felt hot and cold and exposed. His eye gone his nerves ballistic. Valor wimfered abut forced himself to run to his group, his legs getting tangled amongst himself. Sometimes one gettign weak at the knee as the pain hit nerves near the ones rigged in the limb causing him to topple over on that side. His face falling flat into the dirt. as particle gathered on teh side of his face irritatingly he skreeched and yelled out in pain. Valor kept going standing each time feet spread wide trying to maintain balance as he madly scrambled around blindly. Arriving at the camp he circled trying expell nervous energy. He whined as his burned face bleed. Sticking his tongue out trying to expel some of the heat he passed out.

The next afternoon, Valor woke to the female. "How am I, what happened to me." Valor stood up stretching falling over onto his side. Twitching his ear. "You were asleep two days, Valor. Id sit for a second." The female licked the side of his face, "Try and keep your face out of the dirt wont you?" Valor snorted flicking his tail back and forth with irritation and in-patience. The male narrowed his eye un happily.
