A scarred bod tells of fights, of struggle, of enduring... but what tales does a scarred mind tell?
History: Bane was taught from the moment of awakening, one must be strong to survive. Pups fought for food, even in timed of bounty, if they fell behind they were left behind, injuries were just in their minds, weakness was a death sentence, if one made it to adulthood, well, good job to them, now get over it. This was a failing system as one can see, however those it produced were truly formidable. The pack’s numbers dwindled to near nothing before finally disbanding. Within a few years, he had another pack, a mate, pups, a home. His love was the first one to be taken by a Dreamer. Other pack members followed close behind. Finally, his pups. Bane was left to his own devices. After a time, he took up a purpose, repay the Dreamers for the kindness they showed him.
Personality: Now a lone creature by nature, Bane tends to keep out of the way of others. Unless, of course, he feels that he owes you something. Which may not always be a bad thing. Fiercely loyal, the brute willingly fights for his beliefs, whether they are good or moral is another subject though. The dark is his element of choice. Stalking his targets with absolute stealth, feeding upon the adrenaline, an activity that has become his largest addiction. Yet, when all is said and done, Bane is generally a good ally to have one ones side, even if he is slightly mental.
Physical description: Molded from the darkness and licked with gold, Bane is not a difficult creature to look at. His orbs mimic the moon, though once deep and thoughtful, they are now set with cold hate. His form is powerful yet limber, conditioned to the demands of survival. Something about the wolf seems to betray impure lineage, though it is difficult to point out exactly what it is, or what has been mixed in. Tooth and claw are healthy, intimidating items, lending themselves to the brutes deadly skill. If one could become close enough to notice patches of unevenness in his coat, they would have a rough idea about the hatch work of scars that crawl about his body, his battle trophies. Though after so many years of, essentially, bounty hunting, his bod is beginning to show wear, having several gouges upon his hip that never got around to completely healing, their slight silvery discoloration may even suggest he was touched by the Dreams himself.
Physical description: The fea wears hues of pale silver and black. Her bodice lean, sleek, powerful. Her long shanks are white, leading into the silver coat she carries upon her muscled torso. An onyx line has been traced down her back, streaked down shoulders and haunches. Long tail followed suite, mimicking the colors of her bod. Cobalt blue orbs peer out from a finely sculpted cranium, their cold gaze often apt to jump shades. Looking at the beast, no one could tell the disease held her form with an inescapable grip. Every marking, every pattern, every color was a long practiced deception.
Personality: Duma has become a moving infestation of the disease, out to literally feed her addiction. Long years of patient control had given her the skills necessary to survive, yet that control unwinds a little bit further with every hunger pang she suffers, every kill she makes. Those moments of thrill when your running with your target, when you launch your attack, when your maw squeezes their throat in a death hold, that ultimate satisfaction of staying the cravings for just a little bit longer, they weigh more and more upon Duma’s mind, suffocating that small part remaining, clinging to sanity.
History: One of a large littler, the small beastie seemed normal for all intents and purposes. Their mother had breathed a sigh of relief, hiding her own weakness was hard enough, never mind hiding the disease of several puppies. After a time, the need for hunger over came them one by one, spreading all the while. When one is provided lemons, make lemonade. And oh, did Duma make lemonade. When one is willing to eat what she did at such a young age, it shouldn’t be put past her to repeat doing so. In that act she committed, the young she-wolf ingested unusually large amounts of the disease, speeding the process of converting to a full shifter. An intense focus enabled her to have control over her color tones, the one stroke of luck she had, for it was extremely difficult to go undetected when one is walking about roughly the color of a ladybug, or of the sky when one is stalking prey.
Physical Description: Rive is of a slight build, her limbs seemingly over long, bod sleek and streamlined. Not so much as far as power goes, but one would be hard pressed to find a quicker beast within the wood, or one that could put as many miles beneath her paws before resting. Running is an essential to one that has been rejected from pack life. The fea’s other aspects are relatively normal, her coat vibrant shades of snow white laying beneath the purest of onyx designs. Her eyes a silvery green shade, wondrous to anyone who takes the time to so much as catch a glimpse of them. Overall, a rather appealing creature, to bad no one informed her of this.
Personality: Gaining the trust of Rive can take a rather long while, however once won, it is hard to push past the breaking point. The young fea has been left with a feeling of festering inadequacy that eats away at any little self confidence she has left. Despite this, a quiet patience lingers about her, enabling the young thing to simply survive without giving up. Yet, Rive still retains a certain puppyish element making her excitable and playful by nature. The fae also hides a fiery little beast right below her exterior, ready to fight when called upon.
History: Not something a large pack would want to haul around with them, so they didn’t. As soon as Rive was old enough, they left her to fend for herself. Depending upon her own skills, the young fea quickly learned to survive, and survive well at that. Those reasons her pack abandoned her were soon found to be nonexistent.
History: Orox descends from a large pack, and he, being part of the unwanted litter of a beta female, was not fussed over, nor very much cared for. There had been a brother and sister. The brother took ill and was soon left motionless. For a long time, the undersized sister attempted to keep with the pack, however was driven away, the older wolves not wanting to bother with such a low ranked, weak, female. Not long there after, Orox could no longer take part in the insensitive acts, and stuck out on his own. Endurance became his life. He out endured the prey he stalked and ran after for days at a time. He out endured hunger that clawed through his stomach. He out endured the simple thought of ‘why?’
Personality: The shifter mutation has only affected Orox’s looks, apparently the rest of him doesn’t taste very good. Though not particularly strong nor out spoken, the brute holds his beliefs close and will be hard pressed to trod upon them. He tends to be out going, eager to meet other wolves, even if he isn’t planning on hanging around for too long. Confrontation isn’t high on his list of things to do, rather he attempts to avoid it whenever possible. Yet, if it does somehow manage to get him, Orox has never run from a fight. Running is his profession by nature as he tends to lack brute force, it provides him with food and bears him safely away from other wolves’ issues. Yet, of all his traits his favorite is a reckless lust for life.
Physical description: Orox has a long lean look to him, a build that is typical of his parents pack. A base coat of silver wraps about most of his body, fading away into pure white upon legs and face. A black dorsal stripe has been etched down the entirety of his back and flows into his tail. Several vertical onyx stripes grace his body, two minute ones stretching across the bridge of his nose, three run up his shoulders and back down the other side, and two more repeat the pattern further down upon his haunches. The brute’s eyes are forged of a piercing ice blue. Three deep scars race over one eye socket, the result of a poor choice in animals to bug.
