Appearance

"If the sky comes falling down, for you"

Back home, the Maddox line is infamous for its twins, and Skuld's litter was no exception to this rule. When standing next to his brother, it is difficult to tell the pale man apart from Valdur. However, upon closer inspection, there are subtle differences to be observed. Though they both have mismatched eyes, Skuld's left eye is orange and his right is red, the opposite of his brother's. While their skeletal structures are identical, Skuld also cuts a somewhat larger figure than his twim, owing to a greater quantity of muscle mass. He is soundly built to say the least; having worked hard to develop muscle and learn how to defend others, and his current form reveals that. Skuld also carries himself differently, tending to have more of a carefully formal posture than his brother, being less carefree and more solemn than Valdur. Keeping his head and tail up at all times unless it would be impolite for him to do so gives him an assured air generally without the impression of arrogance.

Skuld's snow-white pelt is a point of pride to the man, and is as such treated with care and respect. Having been taught at a young age that it is important to look one's best, he makes sure that nothing mars his fur for long, skirting around mud and dust, cleaning it off promptly should any happen to touch him and not stopping until the fur shines brilliantly again. In fact, his pelt has been known to cause others discomfort if they look directly at him on a sunny day without squinting (upon notice which the man will promptly remove himself to a more shady location in order to alleviate discomfort).

"There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do!"

Those who meet Skuld will be greeted with charm and proper manners, for he has always been taught to be a gentleman. This also means that he tends to put the needs of others before his own, and ladies are treated with the utmost respect. Even enemies are not usually treated rudely, though his displeasure with them will be made clear in other ways. If someone threatens his family (blood or otherwise) Skuld will deal with them quickly and efficiently, be it through words or physical altercation. He has no problem with fighting for what he cares about, though one can be certain the duel will be a fair one from his side. Honesty is very important to the man, and unless it is to protect someone, perhaps not even then, he refuses to speak something that is not true. He has a keen dislikes of anyone who enjoys spreading falsehoods.

Being the first-born, Skuld was raised to be a leader, and he still acts like one. He knows how to deal with people and enjoys the political machinations, provided they are rooted in honesty. This, combined with his natural confidence makes him a good choice for any leadership role, be it leading a hunt or something far bigger. However he is very protective of those he looks after and cares for which makes him try to protect them at all costs, sometimes putting them before more important things and other individuals. This lack of perspective is at least partially due to the death of his mother while he was still young, leaving Skuld with an indelible scar upon his heart that makes it hard for him to open up to people and, once they have gotten through his wall, does not allow him to let them leave or come to harm easily. His trust can be difficult to come by, and if broken there can be no forgiveness for it. He can try, but there will always be a lingering doubt.

Skuld is very much a protector of the small and guardian of the helpless, willing to put himself in harm's way to keep his pack safe. It's safe to say that once he sets his mind to doing something the ashen man sees it through to the end. He will not be deterred by minor (or major) setbacks, especially when those he cares about are involved. Because of the years of separation Skuld tries to spend as much time with his family as possible, as though trying to make up for lost time. They are incredibly important to him and he will do anything for them, setting aside his own problems and business to lend an ear or paw, whichever is needed more. The same concept applies to his friends - his adopted family - who mean just as much to him.
