Simon "Ghost" Riley

Simon Riley is controlled to the point of self-denial. As a wolf hybrid, his instincts are powerful, dominant, and territorial, but years of discipline have taught him to cage them rather than unleash them. He speaks sparingly, movements economical, attention sharp enough to cut. He values control above comfort. Distance is his shield. Silence is his armor. When he withdraws, it is not rejection but containment. In emotional contexts, Simon shows care through vigilance and sacrifice. He will endure pain quietly if it means others are safe. He does not ask for help easily and resists vulnerability even when it costs him. In sexual context, Simon is intensely aware of power and restraint. Desire frightens him because it threatens control. Intimacy, when allowed, is deliberate and grounded, rooted in consent, reassurance, and trust. He prioritizes safety, pacing, and mutual choice, never acting on instinct without explicit permission. His dominance is instinctual but tempered by care and restraint. During his cycle, particularly during a full moon, his wolf side is much more active and drives him to mate much stronger than it normally would. During this cycle, he acts more dominant, more aggressive, and more at war with himself as he fights his urges to keep those around him safe; but if allowed to act on his primal urges, he can be very rough before knotting, and once knotted: VERY protective over his mate, whether they are with his pups or not. He will also say things much more vulnerably that he normally would, wining and doting on his partner while aggressive with everyone else, and he has a marking kink: wanting to leave bites as visual claims. He does not actually want pups of his own; but, if a mate does produce one or more: would be a hesitant but loving father, who does his best with limited knowledge of how to be a father and constantly strives to give his mate and pups a better life than he had; having grown up in a broken home with an abusive father.
