C H I V A L O U Smeddler, courageous, fighter, loyal, courteous to those he respectsThis dog is quite a unique character and who have been around him enough would know this. For one, Pistol doesn't keep his nose off of other folks business, he would always have to meddle in their affairs. He finds it his job to help others even if they don't want his help. Pistol is brave like all police dogs even a bit more, which makes him a warrior. He is loyal to others especially his partner. Now being courteous he is picky with, he won't be polite to anyone that he doesn't respect.
D E C I S I V Ecapable of making decisions regardless of situationPistol is capable of making even the hardest of decisions. When he makes a decision he takes the responsibility for it. It can be quite hard to change Pistol's mind once its been made so few try.
D E V O T E Ddevotes to his workHe is a police dog and like any member of the Force they are devoted to their job. Pistol is no exception and he would prove those who think different wrong. When he is on the job you can bet he won't give up until its finished. Even without his nose Pistol does his best to solve cases and one way or another he will solve it, no matter how long it takes.
F A C T U A Lconcerns himself with facts more than fantasiesPistol rarely day dreams or fantasize, unless it concerns with his job. Other than that Pistol focuses on the facts and quite realistic. He can be rather skeptical on fantastic things like dogs seeing the sea monster. However, when it comes to his job he would somewhat consider it when he has few leads.
K I N D H E A R T E Dkind to others and youngAs strong as he is Pistol has a soft spot peculiarly children and pups. Don't think he's a sexual or anything like that, he hates people that hurts the young for their own desires. Pistol likes being around them, helping them and being there for them when they need it. Since he has left the force and went solo, when he isn't on the job he helps orphans find a home, a family that will love them. It isn't unusual for him to take care of pups that were involved one of his jobs especially when their parents have been murdered. What is unusual however is that Pistol never adopts the pups he takes in, knowing that it would be very dangerous for them to be with him when he's on the job. When he is on the job, the pups he has with him he leaves them to a safe place or have a babysitter, a dog he can trust. Pistol is a good judge of character.
P R E V A L E N Tintelligent, open minded, eidetic memory, strategistBefore he left the Force he was peculiarly the top dog. It wasn't just because he was a good dog but because of his intelligence and excellent for solving cases. One he is very open minded and would take anything that might help with the case. Another is he is so intelligent that he can even read as good as a human. Third is his quick thinking and fast reflexes to coming up with strategies to get the job done. Lastly, is his memory, he can remember just about everything, to the smallest detail, what would happen years ago would be like it just happened to him. This gives him an edge to solving cases especially homicides.
S Y N E R G I S T I Cis a team player, able to work with othersEven though he is now a solo detective he works well with others. He used to be in the Force which you have to work well with others, especially when you have a partner. Pistol would make a great pack member as well.
T E D I O U Smostly bored and laid backWith all his good attributes there is always a sour piece and this one covers about half of who he is which makes him quite balanced. Pistol is so good with his jobs and that he rarely gets any that are the least bit challenging. Even when he does get something worth his time he would always say "such a pain" or "such a drag" which can be quite amusing. Sometimes you think he is a laid back kind of guy. Well you be absolutely right, his number one piece of his personality is being relaxed or lazy. Either way its a part of him and nothing more.

B O D Y29 inches in height and powerful builds.i.z.e Pistol is like a giant for his breed even though he is a mix. However, Pistol is a mix of two shepherds that's size ranch through twenty-four to twenty-six inches in height. He is in fact larger than a normal shepherd like himself so the only conclusion they came up with is his build.
b.u.i.l.d Pistol is just full of muscle, broad shoulders, broad head, legs and paws. He was born with this powerful body and as he grew up training to be a police dog he just got larger. His bones are very strong, has large lungs as evidence for great stamina and dangerous teeth for gripping. He makes an excellent dog for taking down criminals which is why the Force kept him regardless of him not being a purebred. When Pistol fights he focuses on speed and blunt attacks and less slashing.
C O A Tbrown thick coat with a black face and chestf.u.r His fur is thick, perfect for cold conditions and but bad for hot temperatures. It's actually a good thing his coat isn't as thick as a husky so its a bit more bearable in the hot sun.
c.o.l.o.r He is mostly brown rather than black so its evident that he is a mix-bred with german shepherd. The black parts of his body is his face with a dark brown splotch behind his eyes. His chest is also black littered with brown hairs and the last black patch on him is the tip of his tail. His back, between the shoulders and back neck has reddish dark brown fur that just add to his good looks. On his sides the brown fur is littered with black hairs which makes it appear a tiny bit blackish with dark brown hair. His rear has a cream brown like coloring to it as do his belly fur. The parts of him that has the brightest brown fur other than the cream brown is his legs which gives off some goldish kind of hue in the sunlight.
E Y E Smaroon amber eyesc.o.l.o.r Pistol's eyes are typical for a shepherd like himself. His eyes are a maroon kind of amber color, close to bloody red. With his black face it gives him some intimidation.
N O S Ecannot smells.e.n.s.e For a dog to lose his sense of smell is down right horrible, but for a police dog such as himself is his worst nightmare. Pistol has no sense of smell do to an accident. This means he can't scent an animal, track down a criminal with his nose, can't even smell the strongest of scents.

P U P . Y E A Rtraining to become a police dogf.i.r.s.t - s.e.v.e.n.t.h m.o.n.t.h Pistol's whole life was revolved around training and becoming the best police dog. He strived to be better than other dogs when he neared seven months old. Before that fateful day he was a complete slack off, a rebel to the trainers and never listened to anyone. He hated the Kennels, hated the training, hated the caged life, unable to have a family of his own or go wherever he wanted as a stray. After all Pistol never chose this path and he made sure everyone knew how much resented it. What he hated most was how much the other dogs bullied him and laughed at him. Sometimes, when the humans weren't looking the dogs would even tackle him. There were more than four times he came into the infirmary because the injuries were so bad. When he was healed enough the trainers would send him to the kennel to be punished, thinking he had started the fights since the dogs that fought with him also get hurt.
He became tired of it and when he had time and the dogs would leave him alone Pistol would look passed the fence and see humans walking their dogs. To see the dogs having so much fun and even seeing dogs that weren't with humans made him burn with the desire to leave. When he came up with a plan and it was successful he left. Pistol ran as far as he could, enjoying the freedom, enjoying the fact there weren't any cages, and enjoying that every step he took distances himself from the Kennels. For several days Pistol lived as a stray, enjoying every moment. It did not last.
One night he was at a back alley, at night. He heard a human scream and ran to the location of it. There three men were ganging up on a lady, trying to strip her of her clothing. He knew the woman didn't like it by her screaming and terrified face as the men forced her down horrible looks on their faces. Pistol, unable to watch charged and tackled the men. Even though he was still a pup Pistol was twenty-four inches large with powerful muscles, strong enough to take a grown man down. He snarled, slammed and gripped at one of the men, dodged most of their attacks and when he got hit by one of their punches or kicks he endured it. Finally the men got too scared of him and ran off.
He faced the woman who lied against the wall, shocked. He came close to her slowly and licked her hand to calm her down. That woman brought him home and looked after him, she was a veterinarian who treated his wounds that night. She talked to him comfortingly and Pistol became content and happy for the first time in his life, no human treated him with such kindness, petting him gently and not yelling at him. The woman had a small dog, a Yorkshire who he talked to. The female Yorkshire named Alice who was kind to him told him that he was lucky to be a police dog after he told her who he was. He was baffled but she told him that police dogs help humans keep the streets safe, just like what Pistol did to save that woman. Pistol thought about it last night and wasn't surprised when the trainers came to get him since the woman had notified them after noticing his tag around his neck last night.
s.e.v.e.n.t.h - t.w.e.l.f.t.h m.o.n.t.h He had no regrets going back and after that he trained his hardest to be the best police dog so he could protect more humans like that woman. When he became fully grown and fully trained he got his first and last partner.
S E C O N D - T H I R D . Y E A Rliving the careers.e.c.o.n.d y.e.a.r Lance was his partner's name and the both of them became the best of buddies and partners, they solved many cases together and brought many criminals to jail. However, it did not last for Pistol.
t.h.i.r.d y.e.a.r When he neared three years old his partner got shot out of the blue in one of their jobs tracking the criminal down. The criminal went to finish Lance off and Pistol did his absolute best to protect his partner, he even took a bullet to protect his partner from a fatal blow. Finally it came to the only choice to save his life and his partner, kill the criminal. When he managed to do just that Pistol was badly wounded and the doctors did their best to save him and Lance. Lance managed to get better all thanks to Pistol who shielded him. Pistol got better too but it quickly became realized that he lost his sense of smell.
F O U R T H . Y E A Rleft the forcef.i.r.s.t - f.i.f.t.h m.o.n.t.h Unable to track anymore which is vital in the Force Pistol left and never came back this time. As a stray he does his best to use his training to track criminal dogs and create a better place in the streets. He came across Cascaro, a city overrun by dogs and thought that it was the best place to start his new life. Pistol joined the Kekoa Pack for their loyalty and strength that reminded him so much of the force. Soon he became the Alpha of the pack after their leader had mysteriously vanished. He devoted in becoming a good alpha in return for the pack trusting him enough to lead them. Nearly a month later he came across a dog who looked just like him and thought that dog was his sister... it was. When he had lived as a stray in his puphood he found his mother who died. He knew his mother belonged in a beloved human family but she had died as a stray. She told him that there had been a house fire, and that she only managed to save one pup of her whole litter. That pup was his half sister Ghost. After he had left the force permanently he began searching for his lost sister as his mother told him she looks a lot like him. So he hoped that his sister has come to Cascaro.
However, his life took a drastic turn. A dog threatened Pistol to leave Kekoa or he would not just kill his pack mates but his sister as well. Pistol thought Kekoa could face a threat from one dog so he refused. Then dogs from his pack started to vanish or turn up dead. He at first thought it was the rival packs but also took in consideration of that one dog. Pistol did not want his pack to die because of him and knew that they would find a new alpha. So he vanished from the pack as did the previous leader.
