Description
A simple character reference image of Riario for Elottomat comic jam.

Name: Riario
Age: 5 years at the time of death.
Location: Limbo
Gender: Male
Species, breed: Dog, mongrel. Has Hungarian Greyhound and Transilvanian Hound in his bloodline. Undead.
Height: 60 cm
Weight: 25 kg
Appearance: Lithe and slender, deep chest, long legs. Semi-prick ears, smooth and short fur, pink nose and paw pads, amber eyes, one black beauty mark under the left eye. Bruised face, hematomas in eyelids, inside of the mouth covered in partly coagulated blood. Usually seen smiling cheerfully.
Personality: Relentlessly positive and upbeat, Riario has the ability to see the bright side in everything. He's a highly social individual that dislikes fighting and arguments, so he does everything he can to help others and keep up the team spirit, seemingly never getting offended by anything himself. Clever and quick-witted, he's often able to talk his way out of tricky situations. He laughs a lot, has expressive movements and tends to act very theatrically, his presence hardly ever goes unnoticed. His pitch black sense of humor and a repertoire of remarkably unfunny jokes make sure that he's either seen as a clown of the crew or as a bizarre and annoying creep. Despite claiming that he has got over his death ages ago, he still hates and fears humans more than anything.
Cause of death: Riario used to be a stray street dog, living off the scarps of the citizens. One day he was captured, beaten up and eventually hanged by two teenagers, causing breaking of the neck, internal bleeding in head and throat, subconjunctival hemorrhage and small cuts under lower jaw where the noose sunk into the flesh. Because his skull isn't attached to his spine anymore, he's able to twist and turn his head very freely.

This character was inspired by those grisly SPCA/Animal Cops/Animal Rescuers type of reality shows that I used to watch a lot a few years ago. The name Riario originally belonged to a 15th century Italian noble family.
