Background/History
Virgil was born to Elijah and Jane Cassidy in the spring of 1851, who at the time had just bought a choice piece of land in the untamed plains of Oklahoma to start up a cattle ranch. When he was young, Elijah taught Virgil everything he knew about foraging, hunting, breaking horses, farming and many other skills, while Jane taught him about using his agility and quiet weapons like the bow. When he was 16 Virgil was out running errands in the nearby town of Flatfield, returning to the rach with groceries only to discover it on fire, his father dead and his mother in the middle of a frenzied shootout with members of The Pack, a ruthless gang of outlaws lead by a direwolf known only ass The Alpha.
Despite trying to intervene, Jane was killed like her husband and Virgil took a whip to his left eye, which scarred him and made him blind in his left eye. When he came to he mourned amidst the smouldering ruins of the Cassidy Cattle Co. ranch, before burying his parents and riding back to flatfield with what little possesions he had left. From Flatfield he began working as a bounty hunter in the hopes of tracking down The Pack and avenging his home and parents.

Body
Virgil is a hybrid, Pronghorn on his father's side, bobcat on his mother's side. He's got a toned athletic build as a result of growing up on a ranch, with the fur pattern of a typical pronghorn plus the spots of a bobcat. His primary fur color is mauve, secondary fur color is blue jay and his tertiary fur color (spots) are eggplant or indigo. His face and snout favor his pronghorn father, though he did inherit his mother's whiskers. His teeth are that of an omnivore, some flat for grinding plant life and some sharp for shredding meat. His horns have been straighted and shortened to about six inches to allow him to wear his hat, his ears are the more triangular feline ears with the small tufts of fur at the tip. Adorning his head is long and messy hair, braided into a ponytail at the back. His eyes are gold and green. From his mother he interited feline slitted pupils for better vision both during the day and at night. He's blind in his left eye and has three claw marks over it beginning at his central brow and ending at his left cheek bone. Due to being 1/16th whitetail deer on his father's side he has the telltale tail of a whitetail deer instead of the practically nonexistent pronghorn tail or short rigid bobcat tail.He has plantigrade padded feline feet.
