Name: Raymond Walter Howards

Nicknames: Howards, Sir Howards, Mr Howards

Gender: Male

Age: 50 years old (looks older cause of all the stress)
Starting age: 48 years old

Faction: Investigator

Rank: Rank 5 Detective Inspector

Earnings: 1 Bag per week

Total Fame: Chow and Fame Tracker

Breed: Mastiff x Rottweiler

Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual

Mate: / not actively looking

Family Tree (wip)

has 3 kids; 1 boy named Walter Jr. (deceased), 1 girl named Mary, and another boy named Grand.

Height: 30'' (76 cm)

Weight: 190 pounds (86 kg)

Color/Patterns: An almost cliche coloring associated with a Rottweiler. His body is a dark shade of grey, almost black even. An orange-ish brown heart-shaped marking on his chest connected with his stomach and bottom of the tail makes for a highlighted marking frequently seen on Rottweilers. His highlighted muzzle which overextends a bit to the neck make for a brighter snout and general more appeal. His eyebrows are also highlighted with the same orange-ish brown hue.

Body Structure/Particular features: His body is more build like a Rottweiler while his head is more like a Mastiff. His broad chest and muscled body easily spotted when in the right lighting. His sloppy lips and medium sized tail both hanging naturally from his body. His big nose and reddish eyes don't seem to make him more inviting. He always seems to have dark circles underneath his eyes, but they seem to be part of his markings. Despite some stereotypes involving his dad's breed, he doesn't drool more than the average dog.

"Lawful neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you are reliable and honorable without being a zealot."

"Lawful neutral can be a dangerous alignment when it seeks to eliminate all freedom, choice, and diversity in society."

Realist

~ Positive Traits
~ Neutral Traits

~ Negative Traits

NOTE: Raymond is not the exact person as is written here, for example, he's very warm and patient towards friends

Forceful/Determined | Discreet | Loyal | Warm (to friends and family)
“having made a firm decision and being resolved not to change it.”

“judicious in one's conduct or speech, especially with regard to respecting privacy or maintaining silence about something of a delicate nature; prudent; circumspect.”

"faithful to any leader, party, or cause, or to any person or thing conceived as deserving fidelity:"

Once he sets his mind to something, he wants it cleared. His determination to clean the streets drives him to try his best in almost any case he's come across. He's also very careful with his words; only saying the necessary, he's not one to just talk about the weather with. If you're going to occupy his time, make it at least a bit useful. Besides his overall negative attitude, his heart is in the right place. He's generally loyal to the law and wants to aid the CCDA towards a better future. He would rather die with honor than betray the organization he sacrificed so much for. He's warm and inviting towards friends, even tries to pull a few jokes now and then!

Reserved | Alert/Paranoid"formal or self-restrained in manner and relationship; avoiding familiarity or intimacy with others:"
"fully aware and attentive; wide-awake; keen:"

Because of his over-alertness, he doesn't trust others easily, this makes it hard for some to get close to him. If you're persistent and you try hard enough it is certainly possible, so don't give up! He's an ambivert, meaning he can socialize in small groups, but needs some down time for himself. Large groups make him uncomfortable as he can not tell what is going on at all times. He does not speak of his feelings unless you're very, very close to him. Because of his dangerous job, he’s always silently alert (although some call it paranoid) of his surroundings, knowing he’s making new enemies every day. If you don't blatantly tell your reason of being near him he might be quick to assume the worst of intentions.

Hot-Headed | Impatient | Narrow-minded
"easily angered; quick to take offense."

"not patient; not accepting delay, opposition, pain, etc., with calm or patience."

"not receptive to new ideas; having a closed mind."

Raymond is on edge almost 24/7, this makes him irritable and easily angered. To calm his nerves, he enjoys to light up a cigar whenever he can. Being in his late 40's, he secretly feels like he's smarter than anyone younger or below him. His way is the right way, and if you try to change his way you'll receive a small but stern lecture about how annoying and useless you are. One of the only ways to change his mind is either to get close enough to him that he trusts your opinion, to be a higher up or to have a very good point. New things are hard for him to grasp, preferring to stick with his old, stuck up ways. His work is everything to him, this can lead to neglect for other things such as keeping himself healthy and keeping his relationships healthy.

| Developing traits |
Social / Bitter

Right now, Raymond is at the point of his life where he needs to make important decisions regarding his future. He is considering bettering his life by seeing a therapist for his anger issues and paranoid behavior. He's contemplating to become a more social dog and let others in more easily, or to just give up entirely and become a bitter and lonely dog. Will you help him choose the right direction?

__________________________________________________________________________________________________

Pre-group history:

Born in 1877
12 years after the civil war.

0 years old
Raymond is born as an only child (as far as he knows) to Eliza and Walter Howards; a happily 'married' couple.

1885-1887
Boston wants to expand > want to destroy the cc >
fight to keep it > writing becomes a thing > cc official part but dogs, not citizens

Ray: 8-10 years old

His father fights with them but doesn't come back. They're not sure what happened to him. Ms. Howards gets depressed, Raymond does what he can to care for her.

1890
Tension grows > dogs who enjoy pet life begin to ire from residents

Ray: 13 years old

In the last three years he had to take care of his mother, but now he starts to grow resentful towards her. He's getting tired of his mother's 'whining'. He starts to act more on his own. Puberty begins.

1894-1896
Tension boiling > begin fighting for freedom > dogs who fight are
captured and contained in pounds > Pro Canine humans join dogs > Boston submits

> Fight is taken to the white house > Dogs have same rights as humans > still tension

Ray: 17-19 years old

Struggling to make a living for himself but mostly his mother, he doesn't fight with his comrades; losing most of his friends in the progress. Blaming his mother, hatred for her sparks inside him, he starts to become distant from her. He begins dealing in soft drugs to make an extra penny to help out with the costs. He counters this low part of his life with abuse of everything that made him feel better; alcohol, drugs etc. He meets a girl: Irene, and they get accidentally create a litter of three pups at the age of 19. They decide to move in together to attempt to raise them together.

1898
Brighton's parents murdered in a robbery > mayor doesn't do shit > still inferior
> Brighton meets Skipper > they found CCDA > Skip uses his writing to spread word

gain enough evidence > robber is hanged for murder and the divorce happens

Ray: 21 years old / Son: 2 yo

Irene's and Raymond's relationship already being a very toxic one, they have a major fight which ended in him keeping one of the pups to raise. They split up, she decides to live with humans. He quits drug dealing to clear his name and care for his son. His interest peaks when he hears of the CCDA, tries to find out more. He becomes an intern but he barely makes enough to provide for himself, his mother, his son and pay for the house. Raymond puts his mother in a care home so he can focus on the more important things.

1900
CCDA gains traction > more press

Ray: 23 years old / Son: 4 yo

Raymond is offered a promotion that would ask more of him but would help out the money problems. He decides to leave his kid with his closest friend, knowing that friend can be a bit irresponsible at times. Raymond didn't see any other way to provide for his son.

1912

Ray: 35 years old / Son: 16 yo

Still working hard to get to the top, he unintentionally neglects his boy, making the young one resentful towards his father. Puberty not helping, the boy starts doing

drugs and other questionable stuff. Raymond doesn't know yet but is suspicious of both his son and the 'friend' he left him with. He starts thinking his 'friend' is a bad influence on his son but he doesn't do anything about it.

1914-1918
WW1 Humans request dogs to join them > 1918 Viktor's elder brother
gets murdered > CCDA and CCNA become official

37-41 years old / Son: 18-22 yo

His now 18-year-old son decides to join the war without Raymond's permission. The tension between father and son is high. Raymond decides to keep working which will reward him with another promotion, the work also helps as a distraction. After the war, he gets a letter stating his son had died, but not in the war. His son was found overdosed, dead, a few days after the war ended. Some think it was suicide, some think it was an early celebration of victory. Raymond suppresses his emotions and replaces them with disappointment and shame for his son. He starts drinking regularly.

1919 Women's Suffrage movement > dogs join

Ray: 42 years old

Raymond gets almost obsessed with getting the life-ruining drugs off the streets. Secretly hoping to prevent others from ending up like his son. He doesn't care about humans at this point and so ignores the Women's Suffrage movement. He has nearly forgotten his true feelings towards his son and only looks back at him being a disappointment. He tries to forget he ever had a son.

1924 Roaring 20's, economy booms > Brighton steps down, Viktor replaces him

Ray: 47 years old

Like everybody else, Raymond thrives in the '20s. His obsession cools down but his temper heats up. New interns start showing up everywhere making him feel threatened by the thought he might be replaced. He doesn't drink anymore by the time Brighton steps down.

Ray: 1925 Present

48 years old

Raymond is trying to live a normal life, will you help him out?
