Karverus, The Puppy Warden:

*Tritus Canubis. Male. 15yo.

*Large white dog, size of a small car. Three heads; green eyes, blue eyes, and yellow eyes. Green paws, yellow tipped tail, blue sprinkles on chest.

*Sensitive hearing and smell. Fast, strong and agile. Can harden his sharp fur; standing up acts as spike armour, lying flat against his hide becomes magic resistant armour. Tough hide resistant to physical attacks. Can teleport short distances.

-Green eyes: Poisonous bite. Corrosive saliva. Paws drip corrosive liquid.

-Blue eyes: Shockwave jaw snap. Freezing breath.

-Yellow eyes: Energy draining bite. Energy discharge from mouth and eyes. Can grab his own tail to briefly electrify his whole body.

*Skin vulnerable to magical or energy attacks. Fur vulnerable to physical attacks (if fur isn’t flattened against hide it can’t prevent energy making contact). Flattened fur slows him down. Wears a collar around each neck that puts the head to sleep if physically touched.

*No equipment.

*The Tritus Canubis are meant to protect; essentially guard dogs. Karverus is young, looking for his first contract.

*Loyal and quick minded. Puppy. Communicates via a unique kind of telepathy not understood by any other entity.

[Backstory: Like all of his kind, upon reaching physical maturity Karverus has been sent to go and search for his first contract. The criteria to be met by a potential master is individual to each Tritus, but the pact between Canubis and master is one of the strongest known contracts, magical or otherwise. It binds the Tritus and it’s master together mentally, emotionally and spiritually, and there definite benefits to being bound, though what form these take is individual to each Tritus.

Karverus chose to begin his journey on Earth in the hope of finding some remnant of his father, the dog Cerberus that guarded the entrance to the Greek underworld for Hades, and to see if any of the strange humans that his father loved so much would be his master].

Author's Note

A Modern Hippy
Yes, another cliche type that I tried to make more original. I love animals and Greek mythology (who doesn't) and couldn't leave out a pet- or contract-type creature. So I combined them, also in an attempt to explain the presence and perhaps the origins of Cerberus itself.
Perhaps not much use as a main character, but as a key story component, or even a third/neutral party (narrator) he has a lot of possible parts to play.
The backstories of ALL character concepts are fully revisable or replaceable. They are simply examples.
