## Valdus

Drawn by Ryushusupercat (Talk)(Talk)

**Valdus the Fossa** is a member of the Viridian Jungle Freedom Fighters.

## Physical Description

A stocky fossa who stands a fair bit over three feet tall, Valdus has a short muzzle with a round nose, medium-sized, elliptical ears that mostly stand upright, and a long, fairly slender tail that tapers down at the end.

His fur is primarily Persian orange in color, with a Navajo white muzzle, eye markings, inner ears, chest, stomach, and inner arms. He has no hair on his head, instead having a tuft of longer fur, and his eyes are yellow-green in color.

His typical attire consists of a brandy ascot, brandy gloves with black padding and trim, baggy black jeans, and brandy boots with white cuffs and toes.

## Abilities

Being physically fit and sturdily built, Valdus has a respectable measure of strength on his side, able to lift up to 1000 lbs. with relative ease and throw punches capable of knocking opponents right off their feet. He's sturdy enough to take most blows and still remain standing, although he isn't incredibly fast or agile; however, he is capable of climbing quite well, and he can carry lightweight objects with his semi-prehensile tail. Being a fossa, he has overall keen senses; none of them are especially refined, but good enough to be reliable.

He has a great deal of interest in geology and subjects related to it, and certainly has the knowledge to back it up despite his fairly young age; he can recognize various types of minerals and rock formations with only a glance. It's possible he has some latent connection with the Element of Earth, although as of now, he has displayed no geokinetic/geomantic abilities. He's also highly interested in the subject of history, but isn't as well-versed with it as he is with geology.

### Strengths/Resistances

Valdus has no specific resistances to any Elements or energy-types. He's reasonably durable and can last pretty long in a fight, at least compared to his faster yet more fragile comrades.

### Weaknesses

Valdus has no specific weaknesses to any Elements or energy-types. His slower speed makes it harder for him to dodge incoming attacks, and his overall resistance to energy-based attacks isn't anything special.

## Personality

Valdus is an enthusiastic sort of person who loves exploring and learning, especially when it comes to his favorite subjects of geology and history. As soon as he comes across a new location, he's eager to explore every nook and cranny of it, relishing in the idea of learning new things or expanding his existing knowledge. Even the thought of coming across knowledge he can't grasp or decode right away won't deter him; in fact, he tends to prefer the mental challenge over immediate and easy understanding.

He's easy to fluster, however, and this tends to leave him a stuttering, unfocused mess.
