Spike the Clouded Leopard by !!

He's paired with Lazuli and she can be found Here

Spike is a bit more soft spoken / silent. He's extremely protective over Lazuli and even has the scars to prove it.
He smokes and tells people he's trying to quit but never actually tries. He works on bikes in a shop and on his off-hours he likes to play music with Lazuli. They started a band together and he does all he can to help make her dreams come true. Together they live in a run-down little studio apartment above a cafe. Spike used to be in a biker gang but when it almost threatened Lazuli's life, he disbanded the gang and tries to live a more quiet life.

His soft spot is for baby animals and kids.

Yes. He does lift. ;P
