History: Always an odd pup out he learned to get by on his own at a very tender age. Life was a beautiful adventure to him and he was blessed with a simple innocence that was all too soon taken away. His father was shot by a hunter when Elk was only a few months of age. After his disappearance Elk's mother seemed to drift, wandering farther and farther from the pack. Being the first eldest Elk found it his responsibility to care for his younger and some what fragile sister, Katrin. She was weak at birth and expected to die in the first few days, miraculously she managed to cling onto life. One bleak day when his mother did not return Elk brought it upon himself to look for her. Her trail seemed uneven and wavered from the usual hunting routs. After miles of walking Elk found the body of his mother laying half submerged in the stream. Blood coated her beautiful tawny pelt and her eyes were glazed over, the scent of blood was almost over powering. A sorrowful howl floated from his jaws and twisted in the wind. As if something clicked in his mind a strange feeling coursed through his body, fear. Elk knew he had to get away, the scene was just to much for his tender mind. At full speed he ran, he ran from the blood, from his home and from everything he had ever knew. Katrin, his mother, the blood and the forest was left behind in his race for survival. After running for 7 days he finally stopped, when he stopped he hunted with what skills he had. When he thought he was free from his past he felt a strange tugging in his paws, then he remembered, Katrin! As if the memory sparked a bit of hope back into him Elk turned right around and set off to find his sister. When it became clear he had no chance of finding her the brute gave up and began searching for a new home. It seemed like the world was against him, everywhere he went a wolf pack already lived there. His mind seemed to grow fuzzy but he continued on, it seemed as if some unknown force was pushing him onward. After a few months of traveling Elk had successfully established a territory in a small valley with no signs of humans except a unused dirt road. Being only about 13 months it was quite an accomplishment but being an orphan made him ever more determined. For the next year and a half, things seemed to progress along fine, he near to no trouble from humans and no sign of any intruding wolves. When Elk though he had finally found where he belonged a strange object began to appear through out his valley. It was metal and round and smelled strongly of wolf, however there was the under lying scent of human. Being hardly our of puppy hood Elk decided to explore and found out that the objects were trouble. When the metal teeth closed around his paw he struggled against the trap and blood began to patch the grass. He was launched into the memory of his mothers bloody body laying in the stream. The next thing he remembered was waking up to bright lights and loud noises. Strange silver wire surrounded him and hard stone ground was under paw. Soon after gaining consciousness he drifted off only to wake again before drifting off. When Elk finally became aware of his surroundings he was laying in a crate that was tossed round as the boat rolled across the waves. That night  terrible storm hit and the boat sunk leaving Elk floating in his crate. He was washed up on Anikira's beach and managed to bite and claw his way to freedom. His first instinct was to run and run he did. He barely stopped, just ran and he's been running ever since.

Personality: As reflected in his history he is conflicted and complicated. He hasn't loved another like he loved his sister, nor has he trusted anyone else. Every day he is challenged with the memory of leaving Katrin behind. Elk is a gentle soul and tries to avoid violence if possible, he seems to have an instinct to survive that some lack. He is actually aware of his surroundings and others emotions. Elk is very trustworthy however getting him to trust you is another thing. All hope has vanished from him leaving a quiet defensive outer shell. But his peculiar way of doing things is just how he is, how he.... sees the world. He will often stop to appreciate a freshly bloomed flower, or simply stare off at the sunset as if it was made for him and him alone. While seemingly introverted he is extremely loyal and protective of his pack mates. He has a quiet, dominating, and strong presence mixed with an unstable personality that to some is unnerving. Elk rarely talks with anyone but rather sits and listens to the voices in his head. Mildly intelligent, less than not talkative, skittish and ferocious, Elk needs an outlet, he needs freedom from his demons.
