HOH storing these character notes again until i can get home

- wakescott?? or maybe nathanael - merge them into one char? steal nathanael's name?
- basically nathan from life is strange meets james from silent hill 2, a genuine Problem Child
- purebred smooth collie with blue eyes- ~2013 jonah is the perfect ref. covered in scars, esp on his throat and underbelly, nicks in his ears, filed down canine teeth
- bred to pedigreed parents from a show line, lesser herding drive although particularly strong with cattle animals
- sold to a loving family after being weaned from his mother and separated from the rest of his litter of five, raised by a comfortable family of two parents and two children for approximately three weeks before stolen from their front yard and used as a bait dog in an underground fighting ring- thus the filed teeth and large accumulation of scars
- fought to survive, has killed two inexperienced dogs : put in the ring as a competitor a handful of times, hopped up on steroids. after his loses he was retired to be a bait dog once more, sedated so he was inhibited against his foes
- very hostile toward other dogs ; extremely aggressive toward beefier "fighting" breeds that rival his size like the staffordshire terrier, boxer, cane corso, etc
- still just a boy at 1 year old, still growing; very thin, lanky, neither feminine nor masculine; well muscled although it doesn't particularly show- enough but to flip others off of him but not enough to pin other dogs down
- aggressive, generally untrusting, extreme dog aggression & has a severe distrust of humans, addicted to street drugs without knowing what they are, easy to "trust" but also difficult to truly befriend, finds eye contact very challenging, finds sudden movements or loud noises frightening, always goes for the kill in fights, usually experiencing withdrawals as he cannot find a consistent hookup for his drugs - suffers from psychosis, anxiety, bipolar disorder, insomnia, and paranoia which all come from his past as a bait dog. eventual redemption arc through each?
- expand on what his personality would be if he had been raised "normally" as a pet dog
