Name: Zircon (Nickname - Zee)
Gender: Male.
Age: Adult.
Species: Normal - Diamond Dog. (Not a Winter Wolf, not a Gnoll.)
Pelt Color: Silvery-Blue.
Eye Color: Amethyst. (Subject to change.)
Pack: [To be filled out?]
Occupation: Swindler! (Money-maker, in his terms, though where he aquires this income is questionable.)
Talents, Skills: Zircon is apart of the Gemworker Caste - Sure, he could go and dig up gems, but his lean form isn't particularly suited to that. Rather, he likes to aquire gems by other means, enchanting, augmenting, and enhancing them after he's aquired them by these questionable means.
Likes: Gems
Gold Bits
Interaction (He may not like ponies and Griffins too much, like all other Diamond Dogs, but he does like being sociable from time to time, and when he's especially lonesome, any race will do for a good conversation.)
Vanilla-Wheat Pudding Pie! (How he became addicted to this desert is.. Well, let's just say there's a pony in Ponyville who happens to leave the most delicious pies on her window-sill to be nabbed when she's not looking.)
Fresh air. (Sure, he doesn't MIND tunnels, but he appreciates fresh air and open skies much better.)
Dislikes: Ponies and Griffins – Diamond Dogs are bitter with both ponies and griffins, after the death of Silverback, the Diamond Dog nation fell back into packs and were thus never accepted into the Pony-Griffin Alliance, and driven back into their underground tunnels.
Dragons – Though Dragons created the Diamond Dogs, they were also their slavers until the arrival of Silverback. Ever since then there has been fierce hatred between Diamond Dogs and Dragons, to the point of attacking on sight.
Water - (He's not the strongest swimmer in the world. Actually.. he doesn't know how to swim!)
Tarnished Precious Metals - (A bit of a specific dislike - But he has the toughest time trying to restore precious metals. It aggrivates him very much!)
Character Personality: One could call Zircon a bit of an oddity - Unlike most Diamond Dogs, he's actually a fairly sociable mutt! Granted, he more or less has to be in order to do his job. While Zircon doesn't have a problem resorting to using his claws, he generally greatly prefers to use his words, a charming personality, and empty promises in order to try and take valuables off of anypony's hands.
He'll throw on a smile, and act like the friendliest dog in the world, promise to help you with your chores, insist that the divide between ponies and Diamond Dogs doesn't bother him in the least - That he's a pacifist, a patriot, and a patron - And then when you aren't looking, he'll rob you blind and be gone in an instant.
TL;DR - He's a nice guy up front, supposedly different from any other Diamond Dog in how generous and helpful he is - And then his true colors show when he takes your valuables and hauls tail with them in hand. He's a smart Diamond Dog, to use words instead of force, considering how trustful ponies generally tend to be.
