- a Good Boy
- honestly just wants to please people and gets very frustrated and upset when he can't perform how he believes he should, "loyal as a dog"
- relatively timid, not exactly much of a talker - especially around strangers
- can come off as pretty blunt at times, especially when unsure, since he struggles to find what to say and ends up saying the absolute minimum in return
- he also speaks sparsely when he's upset and this can making reading him difficult, especially since he doesn't have the thickest of skin. he's rather sensitive
- tbh he doesnt really have a sense of humor, things are pretty black and white with him. he /understands/ humor, he knows when something is a joke and when to take it lightly, but for the most part he doesnt exactly laugh at them.
- THAT BEING SAID in a more private setting he's much more open and light, easier to converse with and certainly more giggly
- Uncomfortable Chuckles™
- intense rivalry with his brother - possibly stemmed from the fact surefour is purebred and agilities is a halfbreed? if we still go that route, agilities could feel the need to prove himself to his mother & half-siblings while growing up and surefour saw this as a direct challenge @ him and stepped up himself
- non-confrontational, not much of a fighter and would much rather duck out and accept scorn from his opponent than risk himself in a fight. fucking loves to wrestle and play-fight however, only with those he's particularly close with. has small nics and abrasions from his frequent playfighting with his siblings/half-siblings before parting ways with them
- scars sprout small yellow-green feathers instead of remaining hairless stripes. this means agilties has a lot of random plumage where he's received small nics growing up. this is also why he's so nervous engaging in new fights, he doesn't want any serious scars to bloom a full set of feathers.
- resting bitch face, its not that he MEANS to look scowly and upset but he just. does. a lot
- despite his feud with his brother, surefour also gives him a lot of confidence. their dynamic is a very double-edged blade for agilities, he loves his brother but he also feels threatened and lesser than him
- coydog?? wolfdog?? ideally coydog since he's a smaller boy, could have got his name for the fact he's lanky and lithe- able to move quickly, difficult to hit. gen one husky/coyote cross??? (x) (x x) (x x) blue eyes? green eyes? blue-green seafoam eyes? ideally still pretty young, maybe younger brother to surefour?? littermate but still half-brother bc Genetics??? ~10 months, still childlike in some of his mannerisms
- obviously agilities/brady girardi is a faceclaim and source, but he has some serious inspiration from james sunderland (silent hill 2) and jon snow (game of thrones/asoiaf)

use south's playlist for the most part, with some of sam's playlist. (actually update lmao sam's playlist works VERY well for agilities use that a Lot) some ~muse~ songs in particular:
- hopeless wanderer by mumford and sons
- little game by benny
- guillotine by jon bellion
- legends never die by against the current
- teen idle by marina and the diamonds
- running with the wolves by aurora
- lungs by chvrches
- wolves without teeth by of monsters and men
- no one's here to sleep by naughty boy/bastille
- rich kids by new medicine

Quote:- wakescott?? or maybe nathanael - merge them into one char? steal nathanael's name?
- basically nathan from life is strange meets james from silent hill 2, a genuine Problem Child
- purebred smooth collie with blue eyes- ~2013 jonah is the perfect ref. covered in scars, esp on his throat and underbelly, nicks in his ears, filed down canine teeth
- bred to pedigreed parents from a show line, lesser herding drive although particularly strong with cattle animals
- sold to a loving family after being weaned from his mother and separated from the rest of his litter of five, raised by a comfortable family of two parents and two children for approximately three weeks before stolen from their front yard and used as a bait dog in an underground fighting ring- thus the filed teeth and large accumulation of scars
- fought to survive, has killed two inexperienced dogs : put in the ring as a competitor a handful of times, hopped up on steroids. after his loses he was retired to be a bait dog once more, sedated so he was inhibited against his foes
- very hostile toward other dogs ; extremely aggressive toward beefier "fighting" breeds that rival his size like the staffordshire terrier, boxer, cane corso, etc
- still just a boy at 1 year old, still growing; very thin, lanky, neither feminine nor masculine; well muscled although it doesn't particularly show- enough but to flip others off of him but not enough to pin other dogs down
- aggressive, generally untrusting, extreme dog aggression & has a severe distrust of humans, addicted to street drugs without knowing what they are, easy to "trust" but also difficult to truly befriend, finds eye contact very challenging, finds sudden movements or loud noises frightening, always goes for the kill in fights, usually experiencing withdrawals as he cannot find a consistent hookup for his drugs - suffers from psychosis, anxiety, bipolar disorder, insomnia, and paranoia which all come from his past as a bait dog. eventual redemption arc through each?
- expand on what his personality would be if he had been raised "normally" as a pet dog
