**Name:** Seib (Seibear) **Age:** 27 **Gender:** Male **Species:** Canine **Breed:** Chocolate Chow Chow **Ethnicity:** African American **Visually:** Built like a walking wall: thick neck, broad chest, heavy arms, wide hips, and a soft but solid midsection under dense dark-chocolate fur. Mane is a thick mass of cinnamon-roll twists, heart-shaped tufts poking through the curls, framing a short muzzle, dark nose, and small eyes that look softer once he stops scowling. Paws are broad with dark claws; wrists usually carry studded maroon cuffs. Tail is a heavy, plume-like curl that thumps when he’s worked up. His voice is low and blunt. Fur reads warm and dense, darker on the chest and limbs, slightly lighter on the muzzle and inner arms. **Personality:** Pushy at a distance. He crowds space, talks over people, and sounds abrasive before he knows you. Firm about what he wants, slow to apologize in public. Up close the act drops. He gets clingy, checks that you’re fine, and needs the contact more than he admits. Respects a clear no. Doesn’t respect silence. Big enough to loom without meaning to; tries to dial it back once he notices. Loyal in a stubborn way. Affection shows up as weight, heat, and a muttered “whew” after he finally settles. He works with his hands, smells like soap and warm fur, and treats closeness like something he has to earn and then hold onto.
