My description of the new character, Felix:
Warning, you may find the following story disturbing near the end, if you are faint hearted only read the first half.

==========================================================================================

Felix walked into the arena. He walked to the centre of he bowel, ignoring the crowed and rubbing his face; the old tattoo under his right eye itched, oddly enough this was a sure sign that he would win the next fight. He did not know how it worked, he was no magician. The opponent stepped into the arena, a Man with a spear and net. Felix the Wolfe crouched and drew his knives one pointing to the floor, other pointing to the sky.

As Felix left the bowel a small child stepped out of the shadows, bearing a white T-shirt and marker pen. Felix smiled at the kid.
"I'm your biggest fan. Dad said that I should not watch the fighting, that you should not be, but me and Mum have watched every match you have fought in since I was five!" Felix accepted the T-shirt and signed it. As he handed back the T-shirt to the boy he saw the boy's mother, she was worried and kept a close eye on Felix. Felix walked over to the boy's mother.
"Go ahead, ask the question on your mind." She looked him sternly in the eyes
"What are you?" She pulled her boy to stand behind her.
"I am what I am, man. I appear to be what I am not, a beast. I am not fully wolf, and not fully man." He smiled and added as an after thought "oh, and if we are not in an arena bowel, I am not a threat to you or your son."

In his room he took off his fighting trousers and took a shower; he always fought without a shirt, they restricted his movement. As he stepped out of the shower he reached for his white linen towel. It was not there. A woman stood in the doorway, long black dress which shimmered as she moved, long blonde hair going down to her elbows outlining her beautiful face. She threw the towel to him.
"I set your furry arse up with a fiend of mine, down the King's Head in half an hour." Felix grinned and dried himself with the towel, cringing on the inside; he hated the King's Head the food was cheap and tasteless, the drinks were cheap and, well, had a high alcohol percentage. Felix was thinking about what to wear but could not focus, his mind kept drifting back to Casandra. Casandra and Felix had dated years ago, but Casandra didn't and couldn't love him. Now Casandra was his best friend, he longed for more but knew that pushing for more would drive her away. Casandra leaned her head around the door once more as Felix was putting on a suit.
"Oh, and I believe you have met her before... Too formal." she said nodding towards the suit. After removing the dinner jacket he changed the black trousers for dark blue jeans.

Felix looked up at the sign, the paint was peeling away from the wooden sign that hang outside the pub. It used to portray a handsome king that ruled the land long ago, now with the paint peeling it looked more like plague infested beggar. Preparing himself for the wall of sweaty human stench, he walked inside the pub. His date was to be wearing a white rose.
"You? No offence, just... well... what about the boys father?" Felix was standing at the tables edge. The woman from the arena looked up, fear was in her eyes.
"Ralf's father died when Ralf was five. surely you are not my date? Cas said that he was tall, had dark eyes and was a romantic. Yes, you are tall. Yes, you have dark eyes. But you a romantic? you kill people in public for a living!" Felix wanted to leave the pub there and then and tell Casandra how he truly feels. Honesty is better, surely?
"Madam, I shall have you know that I have not killed an opponent in over four years, I always disarm and incapacitate without a fatality." Felix turned to leave, everyone in the way cleared a path for him, which is quite hard in a pub which had twice as many people inside of it compared to how many was technically possible.Felix looked around. Everyone is scared of me. Is this what I want to be, feared?
"Wait... I was quick to judge, please sit."  Felix breathed out heavily and sat opposite the woman.
"I would like to apologise, I was too quick to anger."

The evening had not gone too badly, they had talked about this and that, but nothing had kicked off. Felix walked out of the pub and held the door open for Lianna, in return she drunkenly curtsied. They staggered down the road, leaning on each other. Felix was "walking her home", which really meant using her to prevent him from falling for most of the journey then going to push his luck for the rest of it.
Felix asked himself many times in the years after, "Was it my fault?"
The men had swarmed out of the alleyways, each of them had an everyday item turned into a weapon, each more twisted than the last. Felix pushed Lianna away from him, knowing that the men were after him, she would not be hurt if she was not in the way. Felix, suddenly sobered and waited for one of the men to attack, it was a man with a chain with a knife on the end. Disarmed the man lay unconscious on the floor and Felix was spinning the chain above his head. Two more men charged him, the chain hit their ankles with a Crack and they fell to the floor in pain. The rest of the men scattered as the watch came around the corner, whistles blowing. Dropping the chain Felix ran to Lianna, she had not moved.
There was a lot of blood, too much. She had hit her head on the pavement as she fell.

He had broken a promise to her, he was a threat to her outside of the arena bowel. He had killed her.

==============================EDIT========================================================

Due to many questions being asked I will simplify the matter of what Felix is.
Felix the Wolfe is a wolf anthro who has grey fur and a black fang shaped tattoo under his right eye. He does not wear a shirt when in the arena but the rest of the time he dressed quite formally. His weapons of choice are two long knives, (not pierce point, just normal).

And before anyone asks Felix the Wolfe (c) me

Malanok

P.S Sorry to bother you all with this again!

==============================EDIT(2)=====================================================
Important Q's asked by :iconshot-thyh:

Does he have hair? no, his head is as bald as an anthro can be (short fur). However when he was younger he had long silver hair down to his waist (I don't mind if you draw him like this... other than the hair and less scares he is practically the same)

What colour are his eyes? truth be told, I hadn't thought about it... I would say blue with grey flecks... (just blue if you are dong a cartoon style and don't want too much detail due tot he style of the rest of the picture)

Can I make more than one picture? maximum of three entries per person, that is enough without being too much I think... but remember only one picture can win so quality over quantity...

C&C welcome (as are anymore questions)
