Appearance
Description: Murray looks like a Red Fox on stilts, for lack of better clarification. He has similar coloration and overall appearance, although he is much larger than a typical Red Fox. He stands about 3.2 feet tall at the shoulder and weighs around 60 pounds. His fur is reddish brown to golden orange on the sides, with long, black legs and a distinctive black mane. The coat is further marked with a whitish tuft at the tip of the tail and a white "bib" beneath the throat. The mane is erectile, and is typically used as a defense/offense mechanism to make him appear larger when angry.
Murray can summon two gorgeous, enormous wings on his back. They are black and abundant with large, fluffy feathers. His eyes are a startling grey, and his tail in unusually long and fluffy.
Personality: Murray is as unpredictable as the ocean itself when it comes to his general attitude. Sometimes he will be warm and inviting to other, displaying great amounts of affection and love. But just a quickly as this good mood appeared, it may also dissipate and he will fall into a deep depression, even becoming angry and distraught. Ironically, his mood usually depends on the weather since he spends most of his time at Anasagi. Occasionally though, he will not let gloomy weather dampen his mood.
Murray takes after his mother in that he is very flirtatious, and after his father in his dramatic mood-swings. He seems to actually thrive on drama sometimes, and this can be quite annoying to other wolves. Murray is strange, no doubt about it. In fact, his social skills are so far out of the loop, he thinks himself as normal and claims all OTHER wolves are the odd ones. His odd parents and unconventional childhood can be blamed for his queer mannerisms.

Biography:
Murray journeyed to Shinkou as a pup. He was an only child, traveling with his parents, Abaoth and Bradigan. Murray's mother was quite promiscuous while Bradigan was quite emotional and over the top. When Bradigan discovered his wife's infidelity, he began to chase her as he cried. Abaoth ran, crying as well, and apologized profusely for her transgressions. But Brad wouldn't hear of it and chased her off into the wilderness of Shinkou. Murray was only a puppy at the time and did not fully understand the severity of what had taken place until he blossomed into young-adulthood.
Murray never found out if his father had simply ran his mother off, or if he had killed her in the heat of the moment. Whatever the outcome, Murray knew it had been a crime of passion. Before he ever mustered the nerve to inquire of his mother's wellbeing, his father killed himself after declaring himself unable to ever love again due to his wife's betrayal. Why his father waited so long to kill himself after running off his mate was a mystery to Murray, but then again he didn't much care. So he now wishes to join Akeru since this territory claims hold of the shore. The ocean is the one place Murray feels safe and welcome due to his odd and eccentric childhood.
