## **Physical Appearance**

### **Current**

He is a lean, well-muscled Mega Lucario of a noticeably taller height than most individuals of his species. He has golden yellow and black fur with red accents on his tail, back, chest, and limbs. The thick, spiky fur on his chest, torso, back, and around his neck is a brighter yellow. Unlike other Mega Lucario, he also has black paws, the front of which each have 5 fingers, and fully retractable claws. The insides of his ears and the spikes on his paws, shoulders, and chest are also red, and he has yellow eyes that turn red when angered or crazy. His black-tipped tail is longer than an average Lucario's and has thick, bushy, bright yellow fur. The entire upper half of his head is entirely black; the only exception is his aura-sensing appendages, which have red bands. He has a wolf-like snout with a mouthful of sharp whitish-yellow teeth. Being a warrior, Anubis has multiple battle scars all over his body; his most noticeable one is the large one vertically crossing his left eye, running from his forehead to his jawline, which he received during his fight with the Mewtwo who killed his master. While in the custody of the Mandalorian group Death Watch, he is forced to wear a shock collar and a red wrist band on his right wrist to indicate his status as a slave.

### **True Form**

After Mega Evolving, the power stored within his Lucarionite grants him his new form: a fusion of a Mega Lucario and a kitsune. He has six tails and a longer snout and ears, as well as red spikes protruding from his back and thighs. He becomes larger due to a drastically increased muscle mass and there is a red four-pointed star on his chest. His neck and head are more muscular, and the fur surrounding his neck has thickened and lengthened, hanging over his upper back and splitting around the star on his chest to form a mane. He now has a red triangle marking under each eye and the roman numeral 7 (VI) in yellow on his forehead. His back now possesses branching black markings on it. He later grows a seventh tail.

### **Previous**

As a Riolu, he had lighter-colored fur and yellow bumps on his forepaws. His pupils were larger, and he was lankier than most Riolu his age. He later received scars from his abusive parents and older siblings. As a result of malnourishment, some of his fur started falling out and he became thinner so that his ribs were visible. He lost most of the fur on his tail. However, he recovered after discovering hidden berry bushes in a small grove near his house, where he spent almost all his alone time.

As a Lucario, he was about three times his original height. His appendages were noticably longer than most others of his kind, and his tail was more fox-like in appearance. Both his irises and pupils shrank, and the fur on his thighs was slightly slimmer. The spikes on his chest and forepaws were larger, and his muscle mass had noticably increased. His fur became thicker, but also patchier and more ragged due to mange. During his time in prison, he wore an orange nylon and leather harness with his inmate number imprinted in black on the belt portion around his waist.

## **History**

### **Early Life**

Anubis grew up without knowing who his true parents were; they both mysteriously vanished soon after he was born and have since been presumed dead. As a result, Anubis was placed in an orphanage until a female Lycanroc named Caroline found him and, wanting another child, adopted him and treated him with kindness. However, the rest of the family treated him like an outsider when he first set foot in the house, making him live in horrible conditions and even forbidding him to eat on some occasions. His bedroom, like most of the house, was infested with roaches (and sometimes other pests), which he would catch and feed on to make sure he got enough food each day.

His foster father, a Krookodile named Afzal, was a deadbeat alcoholic, often neglecting his children and leaving the house for long periods of time. When he was home, he often verbally, sometimes even physically, abused Anubis, even when his other children caused trouble. Caroline worked as a full-time mechanic to pay for housing, food, and education, so when Anubis wasn't at school, he stayed at home with his foster siblings, who tormented him constantly by mocking him for his appearance, his poor social skills, and the absence of his biological parents.

After 10 years of living with them, Anubis had had enough of his family's mistreatment; when his father or siblings tormented or ignored him, he retaliated by beating them up. The only household member who was exempted from this was his mother, to whom he was grateful for giving him the motherly love and positive attention he so desperately craved. Even so, he still resorted to harming his other family members, either physically or psychologically, to make them pay for all the torture they'd put him through. For instance, he broke all of Afzal's alcohol bottles so that he couldn't drink as a suitable punishment for his negligent foster father.

Life at school was no better. Anubis's classmates talked down to him constantly not only for his flaws, but also for his strengths, which they were jealous of. His teacher belittled him about his quietness and hesitance to participate in class. He was frequently bullied, punished for things he often didn't do, but was accused of, and excluded from activities. However, he managed to make good grades despite this. As time passed, Anubis became more daring, sneaky, aggressive and unpredictable due to his mental instability and began fighting back, lashing out at anyone who dared to approach him. He began pulling pranks on his schoolmates and beat up several bullies to demonstrate his feelings. The latter action resulted in his expulsion from school.

Sometime after being expelled, Caroline home schooled Anubis and his siblings when she wasn't working, not only on typical educational topics, but on life skills as well. Anubis took his mother's teachings to heart, but they fell on deaf ears with his siblings. Caroline would go on teaching them until her death at the hands of her abusive husband.

5 years later, Anubis came home one day from a walk in the woods to find his mother lying on the floor of the living room in a pool of blood. Shocked and horrified, he rushed to Caroline's side and, noticing bloody bite marks on her neck, asked who did this, knowing that she was dead. Just then, Afzal stepped into the living room, revealing himself. Anubis was enraged upon seeing his mouth stained with blood and realized that his foster father killed Caroline. The Riolu asked why he would do such a horrible thing and Afzal replied that this was his house and he wouldn't let Caroline take over as the head of the family. Consumed by rage, Anubis flew at Afzal; however, his aim was not to kill his father, but to merely torture him as punishment for his heinous deeds. He quickly knocked Afzal unconscious with a Power-Up Punch move and chained him up in the basement, only feeding him once a day. He also inflicted vicious wounds on Afzal and left them to fester and become infected. This, along with eventual starvation, would lead to Afzal's death. Anubis later buried his deceased mother.

After his father died, Anubis informed his siblings of it and declared himself as the new head of the family. His foster siblings initially denied and protested this, but Anubis showed them what he did to Afzal's body and stated that he would do the same to them if they didn't follow his orders. His siblings obeyed, and Anubis became the household's authoritarian ruler, using fear and violence and often inflicting vicious punishments on his new subordinates if they stepped out of line. He even went so far as to forbid them from burying their dead father and refused to reveal the location of Caroline's grave. Anubis ate Afzal's corpse for food, believing that he didn't deserve to be buried. Two months after his 16th birthday, he abandoned his foster siblings, thinking they weren't worth his time and deserved to rot. He permanently left his foster household to find himself a new home and, sometime afterward, evolved into Lucario.

## **Personality**

As a child, Anubis was very quiet, observant, and cautious. He preferred to stay out of trouble, but wasn't afraid to stand up for himself if he needed to. He was socially awkward, which got him rejected by most of his peers and made him unable to speak his mind. Over time, however, as his family abused and neglected him more, his mental instability made him more aggressive and violent. Because of this, he grew prone to lashing out at his classmates whenever they antagonized him. It grew to the point where he severely injured school bullies by using him as a punching bag to release all the pent-up anger and frustration that built up over the course of his early life. Since then, Anubis became cold and feared by his classmates.

As he grew older, Anubis became even more aggressive and defiant, but also calmer and more focused. He regained his mental stability, which he usually achieved by finding clever or violent ways to get back at his family for all the pain they'd caused him. He soon terrorized his family, which allowed him to take over the household and thus recover faster from his injuries and malnourishment. He became smarter and more vicious due to his observance of his family's weaknesses.

By the time Anubis evolved, he'd become more crafty and excelled at the life skills he'd needed to use to survive. He was also more cautious since most of the residents in his home village knew about his record, only showing his face in broad daylight when necessary. He became brusque, cold and calculating, but was mostly civil to people whenever he needed to interact with them. He learned how to be polite by watching when other people conversed.
