Cogs' Collection of Incorrigible Canines

[Deleted]

Name: Sanris (SAHN-riss)
Gender: Male
Age: 6

Brief description: A stocky wolf with heavily muscled shoulders. His coat is off-white with a dark gray 'saddle mark' on his back, neck and head, and upper legs. His eyes are a watery yellow. There are numerous marks in his fur where it has grown back over scars, and the outside rim of his right ear has been torn off, making it visibly shorter than the other.

Alliances: himself, predominantly
Rank (in pack): warrior of Kairos
D&D-style Allignment: chaotic neutral


History (in brief): Sanris' parents were unknown vagrants who lived in close proximity to a large family pack in the upper Caurus area so that they could live off the fringes of the pack, poaching prey from across the border. Sanris' father was killed before he was born, and his mother held little interest him and often left him for days at a time. He was eventually caught by the pack and brutally beaten for carrying his mother's scent. He survived, and fled northern Caurus to become a loner. Eventually, despite his hatred of packs, he pledged himself to a radical pack called Osani and carried out orders to kill wolves deemed "unfit" by the pack mother, Yahvi. When the pack collapsed, he went into hiding, terrified that he would be pursued by any surviving enemies made in Osani, or the families of those he took part in killing. Recently he has returned, to pledge his service to a new rising power- Kairos.

Towards others: Sanris, with the slippery adaptability of one who will hold onto his own life no matter the cost, will act the part of whatever he thinks will please those he joins. Grovelling and pathetic displays of submission aren't below him. To rivals he's overly aggressive, fearful of losing his standing, and to subordinates or other loners he thinks he can get away with dominating he harrasses with childlike cruelty.

To himself: Sanris isn't particularly self-aware. He thinks himself neither good or bad; his overwhelming wants usually drown out any existential thoughts he may have.

Superstitions: none. Sanris scorns any kind of spirituality as frivolous, though he wouldn't dare to say it in the presence of his new master, Goliath. He did once hallucinate that the spirits of the nameless wolves he had killed in Osani were pursuing him across the desert, prior to his first meeting with Goliath.


Alliegances:

Goliath: the colossal and ruthless alpha of Kairos and Sanris' new master. Sanris fears him greatly, but sees both his youth and his delusions of godhood as things to be exploited.

Kuruk: after nearly losing his life to him on the banks of the Aughar river, Sanris has yet to know anything about him, besides that he intends never to see him again. His desire to get what he sees as his rightful revenge may change that, however, now that he has found a place in the strongest pack that has ever walked the islands.

Athena: a nameless stranger Sanris encountered during a violent storm- of both thunder and passion. He has since paid no thought to her, but there are coming repercussions that have not yet come to a head.

Atoyo (deceased): a member of Osani, the son of Yahvi. Sanris both hated and feared him.

Djinkka (deceased): a member of Osani; she and Sanris competed for Yahvi's favor within the pack.

Zaida (deceased): a member of Osani; the beautiful and cold-blooded daughter of Yahvi. Young Sanris was seduced by her easily, and she intended to use him to sire more warriors for Osani.

Yahvi (): the grand Mother of the Osani pack. Sanris feared her then, and even now, assured that he is safe in Kairos, the memory of her calcularing stares sends his hackles up in terror.

Name: Solomon (SOHL-oh-mon)
Gender: Male
Age: 4

Brief description: A large wolf with broad, strong shoulders and an imposing height. Sol is dark-furred, being a mix of browns and grays common to his kin in the north, with long guard-hairs and a thick northern pelt undernearth. His most noticeable scars are across his shoulders, gleaned from years of spats with this brother and, occasionally, offending strangers or dogs from around the Tall People's lands.

Alliances: Dire first, then himself, and finally Goliath, alpha of Kairos.
Rank (in pack): warrior of Kairos
D&D-style Allignment: true neutral


History (in brief): Sol and his brother were born far to the north of Anikira, over the ocean. They alternately travelled and fought with each other from the moment they left their small family, before falling fowl of some "Tall People" (humans) and being taken aboard an illegal cargo ship. They eventually escaped when the ship ran aground on a reef, and after jumping overboard were washed to Anikira.

Towards others: to most, he is very highly guarded, even gruff, though it is mostly his controlled and apathetic nature. He learned detachment at a very early age and it has stayed with him, with the exception being his brother. It's not so much as he "softens" around Dire, it's just that Dire was there before everything else, and has always had the ability to bring his emotions to surface, whether they be affection or, previously, frustration. To Goliath, he is respectful in the presence of unrivaled power, and keeps his thoughts and misgivings, as usual, to himself.

"Sol is profoundly solemn – he rarely shows strong emotions, and comes across as a little hard-hearted, though this is merely an extension of his apathy. He follows his instinct before he follows laws or rules. He is sincere and honest in all that he does, though he is highly guarded; patient and very slow to anger, he is an excellent brute to confide in. He assumes a ‘quiet but powerful’ aura, which can often come across as intimidating to females. He has no interest in a mate, and lacks ambition altogether."

To himself: Solomon is very internal and knows where he stands. His own instincts come first over the law of his alpha.

Sanity: stable. Sol is kept well-grounded by his disinterest in most matters.

Superstitions: none. He is indifferent to deities above and below, the only one concerning him being the one he pledged himself to as a warrior.


Allegiances:

Jedidiah: Sol's brother. The two have been inseparable, whether they have liked it or not, their entire lives. After escaping the Tall People, their bond has become very close. Sol puts Dire's wellbeing before even his own, and looks upon him with muted brotherly concern.

Goliath: the intimidating alpha of the Kairos pack. Solomon and Jedidiah joined him out of necessity, being the first wolf they encountered and needing to find a firm hold in their new world. Sol finds no reason to dispute his alpha as of yet, but holds no real attachment to him.

Name: Ayiti (Aey-EEE-TEE)
Gender: Female
Age: 1

Brief description: Ayiti is slim, a little gangly, not quite grown into her adult body. Her fur is dark brown, and ruffled and messy, with a white splash down her throat and white toes on her front two paws. Her ears are large for her head, and her eyes are wide, golden-brown, and very expressive.

Alliances: her mother, brother, and anyone else she might happen to meet
Rank (in pack): N/A (travelling fortune-seeker)
D&D-style Allignment: chaotic good



History (in brief): Ayiti's parents were members of the late Zakur pack, which disbanded shortly after the Annaika pups were old enough to venture from the den following the death of several of the pack members, including Ayiti and Kadar's father, the hunter Chaika. In the months since, Annabelle stayed in the area of the former Zakur, an almost-paradise of a place surrounded entirely by a sweeping mountain range. Ayiti was content for awhile, but as winter dragged on she began to chafe for adventure and the world outside their secluded home.


Towards others: Ayiti has lived a very sheltered life; she was too young to have met the other Zakur members before the downfall of the pack, and has only ever met her brother, Belle, and Chaika. Since she has nothing but good to base her judgements on, she hold strangers in very high regard, and is openly friendly and honest.

To herself: Ayiti isn't the soul-searching type, only the adventure-seeking. She is quite happy with the way she is, and has no desire to change herself in any way. She has, in fact, never had reason to think about it.

Superstitions: she'll wholeheartedly go along with whatever tales may come her way. Annabelle has wisely not told many stories of spirits to her children, or else Ayiti might have gone looking for them sooner.


Allegiances:

Kadar: brother, and the soul closest to Ayiti. The two are nearly two halves of a whole- have been since they were born. Ayiti couldn't imagine doing anything without him, but has never considered the possibility that his dreams could be different from her own.

Annabelle: Ayiti's mother, and the only other she has constant contact with. Ayiti loves her with her whole heart, and is a little torn between leaving her on her own and adventuring out into the wide world, and staying in the Oriens with the unbearable restless feeling of needing to see the other side of the Kinaths.

Chaika (deceased): Kadar and Ayiti's father, and Belle's late mate. Though her time with him was cut short, she loved him and misses him greatly, and tries to drown it in mad schemes and hovering over her brother.

Yahvi (): though Ayiti has never heard of her, the mysterious wolf who attacked Belle in her pregnancy is thought to be responsible for Kadar's blindness. Belle and Chaika never told their children the extent of what they knew, and though the unknown pack has since fallen into the shadows and Yahvi reaches, Ayiti may later find that her influence still reaches farther than previously thought.
