Personality

Justin is reserved, loyal, protective, and observant. Years of war have made him quiet and cautious around others, but underneath his hardened exterior he's still deeply compassionate. He doesn't easily trust people, but once someone earns his trust, he'll go to extreme lengths to protect them.

He's patient rather than forceful and tends to give people—and demihumans—space when they're frightened or uncomfortable. Justin isn't particularly good at expressing his emotions verbally, often showing that he cares through actions instead.

Background

Justin spent years serving in the military, frequently being deployed and spending long periods away from home. After returning from the latest deployment, he found himself struggling with the emptiness of civilian life.

His house was quiet. Too quiet.

Rather than looking for another human companion, Justin visited a demihuman pound hoping to find someone who could simply keep him company. That's where he encountered a feral demihuman that other people had given up on.

Despite being warned that the demihuman was aggressive, unpredictable, and had been returned multiple times, Justin decided to take him home.
