's character Revnik inspired me to make a war dog. XD So here he is, with 's makeable lineart because I can't draw his badassery very well. I feel like he's missing something, though.

...oh! Scars! Duh. I'll add 'em later. Anyway. Here's his info.

Name: Vladimirovich (Vladimir Putin's middle name; he's the current Prime Minister of Russia)

Alias: Vlad, Vladimir

Gender: Male

Age: 2 (about 23 in 'large dog' dog years*)

Species: White German/German/Old German/Malinois/Tervuren/Shiloh Shepherd mix.

History: Vlad was born in Russia's capital, Moscow. His father was a messenger and his mother a medic and a bomb-sniffing dog. His siblings were stillborn, and oddly, he would've been the runt of the litter had they survived. His parents were hesitant to allow him to join the military in fear that he, too, would die before he had the chance to enjoy his life. He disobeyed them, however, quickly rising among the ranks and showing his great potential. Eventually his parents accepted his wish, but by then, he'd disowned them as his family for not supporting him. This wasn't the first time he'd showed contempt toward his parents; he never got along with them. They refused to name his unborn siblings, so he went behind their backs and named them himself. He also attempted to bite his father's jugular because he was foolishly disregarding his master's orders to deliver a letter, because he thought it would be for the better. He bit his mother's tail because she was siding with his father. He ran away to join the military, and intentionally took up the most dangerous missions he was allowed, facing death many times, watching comrades suffer, and fearlessly pulling through with every order he was given. To him, it was all worth it — proving his parents wrong was his life.

Family: His mother and father (Galya and Fedot), now deceased, and his three stillborn siblings (Yelena, Adrian and Dmitri).

Personality: Vlad is a cold-blooded warrior. He's a military dog at heart, and loves war. He's very angry, never without a scowl, and can seem very arrogant at times, when he's actually just overcome with self-pride for fulfilling his lifelong dream of proving his parents' actions wrong. He's very calculating and strategic; however, even when his plans are failing, he will still continue his attempt to follow through with the orders he was given by his higher-ups. He's fiercely loyal to the Russian military, and has many battle scars and medals to show for it. He's merciless, without pity, and yet, he has true leadership qualities — premature wisdom, intelligence, power, and a strong, compelling voice.

*'large dog' dog years: a more accurate age calculation for his size/breed specifications. Typically, the first year is about 15 dog years, the second year 8, and each year after that 6. Small dogs are 10, 3, and 4 dog years, respectively, and medium-sized dogs are in between.
