Description:
A rather small pup, a bit on the lighter side of his breed, Tokei is a fearless adolescent, couragous. He is a Tora-ge Akita, brindled. His body is gray, and underbelly white. His eyes are brown, and he seems to have a never-ending curiousity, a need to know things. His ears stand up tall, a bit too big for his head, despite being flopped over for most of his younger life. His nose and pawpads are pure black, and his claws are a normal semi-transparent cream colour.

-----------------------
General Description: Tokei is a pleasant soul most of the time. He was once trained to be a vicious bear dog, but because of his courageous nature, sometimes he takes bigger game too lightly and ends up in bad situations. A little less than one month ago, his parents and comrades were killed by a pair of twin assassins, and as such Tokei becomes extremely nervous around foreign animals. Secretly, Tokei plans to take revenge and kill the twin assassins, and the dog who sent them to kill his family. His true motive for looking to join a pack so he can learn from their leader, to become strong enough to avenge his parents and comrades.
When not ailed by these fears, Tokei is extremely curious and energetic. His supreme aspiration is to discovery everything. His curious nature compells him to want to see everything there is, it's so obvious that one can tell by the way he looks at things that he's disecting it in his head. On a less serious note, Tokei also has a habit of proclaiming everything his favourite thing.
"Tokei, lets go fish!"
"Oh, fishing is my favourite thing!"
"Tokei, wanna race?"
"Yes yes! Racing is my favourite thing!"
He is extremely forgiving, and his temper cools quickly. All in all, he's pretty carefree.
-----------------------
Strengths: Tokei can leap as high as most rooftops, was trained as a bear dog, had an knack for solving problems, instead of starting them, and has a fearless and determined personality.
Weaknesses: He can get himself into trouble because he doesn't know his own limitations. He needs to stay light to be nimble, so he can't beat most dogs from a close distance, using his surrounding and jumping around until his opponent is exhausted is his basic strategy, which means that he can't handle more than one fight in a few hours, unless something's got his adrenaline really pumping. He's also just a puppy, so he can't withstand massive amounts of damage.
- Other Information -
History: As stated above, Tokei used to be a bear dog. He'd even helped his 'pack' of comrades take down two bears, despite being very young. A month ago, the majority of Tokei's clan was slain by twin assassins working for an insane Tosa-inu. Tokei does not know that the Tosa that hired his family's killers has teamed up with a dog far away, on another island in Japan.
