Physical Description:
Abel is rather typical of his vulpine heritage, his tall frame covered in sleek, jet black fur. A small black nose set on a acute muzzle allows him to pick up the faintest of scents on the smallest of breezes, and his expressive tapered ears don the top of his head like twin radars.
Piercing silver eyes, partially hidden behind steel-framed rectangular glasses, add a interesting contrast to his black fur, glittering eerily under the light of the moon.
Reletively slim for his height, he has a moderate, flexible and athletic build, showing that he keeps himself decent shape. He can usually be found wearing vintage, indie-style clothing, with a neutral coloration.
Blazers, dress shirts, ties, raggedy jeans, and a variety of skateboard sneakers are the norm for warmer temperatures, varying in colors from off white to forest green. In colder temperatures, he can usually be seen wearing bomber jackets, fingerless gloves, and knit scarfs.
Background:
Born on Higen 24, 4481 E.L., and raised in the congested slums of Lower Alkesh, Abel is more than well-aware at how the world is working. Frail and somewhat sickly in his youth, he would often read books his mother would find to pass the time, ranging from psychology to romance. He grew to appreciate the vast knowledge and excitement contained within the beaten up tomes.
His father, unconvinced that book smarts would help his son survive in the slums, enrolled Abel in the local community center's Tae Kwon Do program, against his son's wishes. However, Abel was a natural. His inherited speed and flexibility, combined with his focus and discipline, pushed him into advanced classes, subsequently earning his black belt at the young age of fourteen. The physical intensity helped to turn his lanky, slim body into a toned, athletic one.
Even though he grew to love the sessions, his passion still revolved around books. Pulling odd jobs around slums, he scrimped and saved whatever he could until he was finally able to open up his very own cafe/used book store, "The Corner Cafe".
Attracting both human and anthro clients with a love for old books (and bad coffee), he unknowingly achieved a small common-ground between the two species, though tensions would still run under the calm surface.
His small business allowed him to gain a steady income, eventually allowing him to move from his parents pad, and into his own quaint domicile.
As the years passed, he obtained more new and interesting books, for both himself and his shop. His diligence gradually increased his reputation in the slums for cheap books and insightful knowledge.
Personality:
Sharing some traits with his species, Abel is quiet and calm with a level head, yet naturally inquisitive, friendly and an occasional flirt. He has a habit of being very bold and direct with his words, which could be considered harsh by those who take his honesty the wrong way.
He's intelligent, but humble. Not the type to belittle and insult people, but rather offer advice, and encouragement to those who need it.
Even though he displays a understanding and kind personality, he won't hesitate to to inflict bodily harm if he feels, or is, threatened.
Weapons:
Despite his unintimidating and rather frail appearance, Abel is an accomplished Tae Kwon Do practitioner who relies purely on his natural speed and agility to get him through tough scrapes with a flurry of accurate and powerful kicks.
If forced to use a weapon, he'll often use whatever is lying around as improvised weaponry (bottles, pipes, glass shards, etc.). Although he dislikes doing such, due to the fact that he considers weapons to be mundane and unreliable.
