Profile of Koro Toro: Details
Appearance
cut of roughshod configuration, a coarse coat, and stiff underfur. koro toro bears the traditional eyjolfur sigil, the "black helm" -- a pooling black mark that outlines his thin forehead before it transforms to a ruddy cocoa on the bridge of his nose.

the rest of his body is slurry-colored, with a mixture of cinnamon and clay endorsing his thin limbs and high spine. his frame is slab-sided, with little corded musculature due to a polysaccharide storage myopathy (muscle wasting disease). occasionally tremors wrack his constitution, and his gait demonstrates a neurological abnormality.



At non-episodic times, your character is free to notice the following in Koro Toro:
➣ his gait in the hind limbs is abnormal - there is a slight uneven loading phase (when the limb has landed and is now pushing off) where one hock will wring out (twist outward).
➣ his steps are uneven with no overtrack in prints
➣ his front end is coordinated
➣ his hind end will list to the right side if he is standing still
➣ weak hind end (lack of muscle)
➣ obvious asymmetry of pelvis/hip bones
➣ poor reflexivity - his hocks and stifle appear "snappy" during forward movement
➣ difficulty turning on his hind end, and difficulty backing up
➣ "locking stifle" -- usually only during backing up or trotting, where the stifle joint will not flex and/or he cannot bring the limb under his body
➣ the neurological deficits in his gait are are least evident at a walk, most evident at a trot, and semi-evident at a canter.

During episodic events, your character will notice:
➣ during tremors (which will be denoted in the thread if he is having them) he will have obvious muscle-twitching episodes, usually located over his flank or shoulder. he cannot control these tremors. these are most likely to happen if he is weak or has not eaten in a long time.
➣ obvious discomfort during tremors - these spasms are painful and/or uncomfortable

Personality
moments of ebullient brilliance eclipsed by lengthy spans of morose neuroticism. hedonistic, impetuous, and filled with unusual cunning.
Biography
born of incestual pairing, koro toro inherited both the good and bad of his prepotent family line. since birth he and his sibling hellebore have been ostracized for their parent's unnatural union, which has isolated the two from the acceptance of the world.

as a result koro toro became a social pariah -- resigning to an eremite lifestyle, the male has become somewhat idiosyncratic. true to his namesake, koro toro demonstrates remarkable intelligence -- which is unfortunately wrought by fits of irrational passion. he can be listless or frenzied to extraordinary degrees, with very little method of control.

koro toro first demonstrated a neurological malaise as a yearling, further separating him from his canine cousins. his figure sports atrophied musculature, particularly along his topline -- and occasionally (particularly if he has not eaten in a long time) he is predisposed to ambulatory fits that appear quite ataxic.
