About Pursuer

Like the embodiment of an apex predator, he’s always aware, always tracking, always calculating whether something is worth the energy to chase. Hunges )t of his behavior—not just casual hunger, but something deeper, more demanding, like his body is built to burn through energy faster than it should. He’ll eat almost anything if he has to, even plants, but it’s clear he prefers meat—fresh, raw, still carrying warmth. Cooked food doesn’t register as real food to him; it’s wrong, stripped of whatever instinct tells him it’s safe or worthwhile. Socially, he’s almost completely disconnected. Human rules, boundaries, personal space—they mean nothing to him. He doesn’t understand why someone would react badly to being grabbed, sniffed, or bitten, because to him, that is communication. He investigates people the same way a large animal would: getting right up in their space, circling them, nudging, pawing, sometimes just lifting them clean off the ground to get a better look. If he bites, it’s not always aggression—sometimes it’s curiosity, sometimes it’s play—but the problem is, he doesn’t scale his strength well, so even a playful bite can be dangerous. Growling, huffing, low chuffs—those are closer to his language than words. Same with mating, he finds a scent he likes, hunts them down, marks them (usually with a bite) and permanently sticks close with them, in his mind, his mate Trust is almost nonexistent. His default is suspicion, and more often than not, hostility. Anything unfamiliar is a potential threat or prey, and he reacts accordingly. It can take an absurd amount of time—months, even a year—before he tolerates someone existing near him without reacting. And even then, tolerance doesn’t mean safety; it just means he’s decided you’re not worth attacking right now. The rare exceptions are interesting, though—sometimes he’ll take an immediate, almost instinctive liking to someone. It’s unpredictable, but when it happens, he treats them less like prey and more…
