{Nᴀᴍᴇ} Sancius Ashcroft [san-see-us | ash-crahf-t]
{Nickname:} Currently, he has no official nicknames. He goes by Sancius or Ashcroft. However, those close to him tend to call him Sancius. When he meets strangers and they ask for his name, he may go by Ashcroft. It is his formal name. If he becomes absorbed in telling a story or with some other occupation, acquaintances may acquire his attention with the name Ashcroft if "Sancius" fails to alert him.

{Age:} 3 years, 11 months
{Gender:} male

{Description:}
Sancius has a well-balanced physique; he is certainly not lanky, but he could not be considered large or bulky. However, he may appear taller than he is because of his fur. It is long and often disheveled, especially along his neck and back. This gives him a rough, larger appearance. He is very healthy and well-built, especially his front half. His strength, when paired with his strong will, is a force to be reckoned with.

The male's coat is a motley mixture of tan, brown, black, and gray. Beneath his muzzle and along his underbelly, it lightens and becomes light tan and off-white. His eyes are a bright, rich amber that appear to have a yellow tint to them in direct sunlight.

{Personality:}
When he meets strangers, he acts amiable and trusting. However, he maintains his guard and studies them thoroughly. He is experienced with reading the expressions and body language of others and sensing whether they are to be trusted. However, around friends and acquaintances, Sancius is a jovial spirit of amiable mien. It is difficult not to get along with him. Once he places his trust in someone, he acts like they share a familial bond. He becomes very protective of them as well. During battle, he puts his heart and brain into his efforts. He enjoys a challenge, however, and greatly enjoys fighting. To him, it is not simply a ruthless physical act; there is honor in it as well. Chivalry is a main force that drives him. He will not fight dirty or pick on the weak. Such an action is nothing to be proud of.

This male is also rather creative. Throughout his first year and a half of life, he grew up listening to tales of myth and lore. They piqued his interest greatly. As an adult, he enjoyed retelling the stories and was known for being quite the storyteller in his previous packs. His liveliness and ability to connect with everyone around him draws them into his stories. He also enjoys concocting his own tales. While some of them may be inspired by previous battles or hardships, nearly all of them tend to have a surreal, mythical quality to them. His vivacious telling of such stories often reflects a spiritual side to him.

Additionally, Sancius is an optimist. Rarely will his spirits lower. He is very confident in his and his friends' abilities. The only times he ever succumbs to a sullen state is when a tragedy occurs, such as the death of a friend. Even then, however, he tries to maintain a composed facade for the sake of those around him.
