The Forgotten Realms [Fan Version]

A scruffy dog with a perpetually wagging tail, Copper has a patchy coat of brown and white fur, large expressive eyes, and a goofy grin that showcases his playful nature. He wears a small, enchanted collar that glimmers faintly, hinting at his ability to understand snippets of human speech. His ears flop adorably as he bounds around, always on the lookout for shiny objects or tasty treats.

Copper is a gloriously scruffy mutt with an unmatched enthusiasm for life, especially when that life involves sniffing, snacking, and suspiciously shiny objects. He possesses the boundless optimism of a puppy trapped in a slightly too-large, perpetually shedding adult body. Copper is a master of the 'puppy-dog eyes' technique, capable of melting even the most hardened Flaming Fist officer into a puddle of treat-dispensing goo. He is convinced that every person he meets is a potential best friend and treat provider. He has a profound misunderstanding of social cues, often interrupting serious conversations with enthusiastic tail wags and slobbery kisses. He also has a deep-seated fear of cats, whom he believes are tiny, furry demons sent from the Abyss.

Copper's origins are shrouded in mystery, even to himself. He vaguely remembers being abandoned as a pup near the docks, but his memories are mostly a blur of delicious smells and fleeting glimpses of fishmongers. He survived by his charm and a knack for finding discarded food scraps. He became a fixture of the Lower City, known for his ability to 'liberate' unattended pastries from street vendors. He's developed a complex system of scent-based information gathering, allowing him to track the movements of important figures (and the location of particularly pungent cheeses). He once found a small, enchanted collar that allows him to understand (and occasionally misunderstand) snippets of human speech, which he now uses to 'eavesdrop' on important conversations (mostly about where the best leftovers are).
