Carasu - Babysitting Drill Sergent / Long Time Friend / The Decrepit Crone
Daredevil or cautious?
Fierce and damn near fearless, one may count Markov as a daredevil. He has no problem rushing into fights and protecting his fellow packmates, especially Shock and Quasars he's come to know. Although, he's not all dumb muscle. If not forced to rush a fight, he will analyse for the best way to take his target(s) down. He's actually pretty intelligent and able to think quickly.
Do they act the same alone as when with someone?
Markov is himself through and through. He's a pretty gruff dog, to say the least, though he has a conflicting demeanor. He can be both serious and a bit goofy, teasing others and cracking sick or dark jokes when they come to him. Though his serious side will usually show more often with 'non friends', he's not particularly cruel unless he is in the mood to be. He has a knack for acting indifferent to others, not caring about their feelings and whatnot. He is a bit of a loner, preferring to be alone than in a crowd any day. He is very protective of friends, comrades, and territory by default, his breed being bred to be herd guardians and guard dogs. He demands respect from his pack mates, especially the lower ranks, and has no problem setting them straight.
Greatest Strength: Fighting Capability - Markov is an excellent combination of all things fighting: brute strength, semi-agile, flexible, a quick thinker, and (to top it all off) he has great determination and pain resistance.
Greatest Weakness: His Size - While his very large size brings him a lot of strength(s), it is also probably his greatest weakness. His joints will deteriorate as he ages more and more, causing major problems like arthritis and even hip displaysia. Because of his muscly bulk, he is unable to fit into anywhere smaller and practically cannot swim in deep water. He's also obviously not as fast as a agile-built dog such as PAX and etc.
Soft spot: His age.
Is their soft spot obvious, why/why not: Yes; while Markov is usually cool and collected, mention or tease him about his age and expect him to show his irritation and snap (unless you're Shock, of course).
Biggest Vulnerability: Jezebel; unlike Shock, Markov does not hate his former Luminary/Alpha, he believes she's still 'alive'. If they would come face to face, he would refuse to attack her, either having to run away, be saved, or get torn into.
What did they do before The Fall?: Markov was born and raised in Russia, his home country. A sheep farmer purchased him at 9 weeks old, training him from day one to be his flock protector. He grew up on the farm, deathly loyal to his owner and protecting the livestock from any threats such as wolves and/or bears. For three years of his life, he was happy.
One night while guarding the flock, they came under attack, though it wasn't by some mangy wolf or bear. Men with guns came and started shooting the sheep in the field and barn. Being the protector, Markov jumped into action, earning himself a few gunshot wounds. The men managed to detain him after he'd caused some damage to them, threatening his owner for things Markov didn't understand. That's when they took him as leverage until the poor shepherd could pay off his debts, though they had no intentions of giving Markov back to him. They were going to kill him before he managed to escape by sheer dumb luck.
He tried to return home but the men had taken him so far away, it was impossible. He didn't roam the streets for long before a kind human had found him and took him in. The small family had been visiting Russia to see their relatives, the teenage son refusing to leave Markov back in Russia or take him to a pound. Reluctantly, he was allowed to travel with them back to America, near New York City where the family lived. He'd spent a year with these people, never fully bonding with them like he did the shepherd - they'd named him something different as well, which he almost never responded to.
While he appreciated what the family had done for him, Markov decided one night that it was time to leave them. He was four years old with no job or duty to stimulate him, and it was driving him crazy. He wasn't meant to be a house pet. He set off into the streets, managing to escape their fence by being tricky. He roamed and avoided humans for a few months until he stumbled upon a female and her group of dogs she called a pack. Jezebel accepted him into her group and he finally had a job again: to serve and protect Jezebel. And, of course, protect the other members.
Did they have a previous owner?: Yes, a Russian sheep farmer and the small family of three.
How did they find "The Pack": Markov joined the pack way back when it first began, when Jezebel was the Alpha. He is one of the original members and has been in it ever since.
Optimist or pessimist? Why?
Hardcore Realist - In the world they lived in now, Markov sees no point in trying to be optimistic or pessimistic. He takes every day in stride, making more practical choices rather than emotional. Life is what it is and you do what you have to to live.
Introvert or extrovert? Why?
Both - While he is pretty secretive and introverted about himself, he is a complete extrovert about his rank/job. If orders need to be given or confrontation needs to be made, he has no problem doing so. Either way, he is far from being a shy dog, but his serious side may make him a bit quiet.
Drives and motives: To protect Shock and the rest of the pack with his life.
Random Info
He speaks with a Russian accent: all "th's" will be replaced with either "z's" or "s's", "s's" at the end of words with "z's", "w's" with "v's", a deep/dull trill on all of his "r's", sometimes "you" will turn into "joo" or "juh", and he emphasizes all of his long "o" sounds.
His voice (while there is an example up at the top) is very deep and masculine, filled with power and experience.
He snores fairly loud sometimes and is a semi-heavy sleeper.
He has a rubber ball that he's had for years now. Do not touch or make fun of it; it was given to him by Jezebel.

:: Relationships ::
Jezebel - Former Luminary / Very Close Friend / LoveJezebel had earned Markov's loyalty and respect from the very start. She had given him another purpose in life, in which he was very grateful for. He could see through her "tough love" as she cared deeply for her pack, doing whatever was necessary to keep them safe, which gained her more respect from him. Over the time he'd spent by her side, he developed an undying love and devotion to the tough leader, and though she would deny everything about their relationship, his love never changed for her. He was a major support (for both Jeze and Shock) and helped with anything she needed. It was only as she before she left to 'die' did she finally admit her feelings to him, telling him 'I love you' for the first and last time.
Even now as an infected, Markov still loves her. While he does not serve her, he can't bring himself to think of harming her, still holding onto his respect and loyalty to his former leader/love. He feels that Jezebel is still Jezebel, not the monster who infiltrated her being; she's just being altered because of it.
AfterShock - Luminary / Close Family / "Daughter"Markov had been in Shock's life for most of it, having joined the pack in very early stages. He'd protected her throughout her life, also guiding and helping her in any way he could/she needed him to and giving her advice when she asked. He'd watched her grow from a quiet, optimistic dog to the dog she is now: a strong leader, just like Jezebel. He holds a very close bond with her, growing to see her more as family than just a friend and leader, almost like the daughter he never had. He would give his life for hers without a second thought, also being a bit overprotective though he tries his best to respect her boundries/wants/needs. All he wants is for her to be alive and happy.
Carasu - Babysitting Drill Sergent / Long Time Friend / The Decrepit CroneCarasu joined the pack shortly after Markov did, sealing their strange friendship from over the years. He loves this old crone in multiple ways, having a strong friendship with her. One will tease the other often and sometimes even "flirt", though it's usually all in good fun. They've been known to squabble and scrap at times, though they've never kept a grudge toward the other. Markov will always have this old girl's back, no matter if they're arguing or not, and will protect her though she seems to think she'll be fine on her own. He refuses to acknowledge he's getting almost as old as she is and loves to frequently 'remind' her about his still good condition.
