OOC Information
OOC Name: Tomcat941
Link to Previous Character: N/A
General
Name: Leo
Alias: N/A
Species: Lupus
Gender: Male
Age: 4 years
Pack: Loner
Rank: n/a
Physical
Height: 44 inches
Weight: 160 Lbs
Appearance: Leo is a large wolf, but he moves with a grace that seems unnatural. Due to his long legs, he has a long stride, and is therefore able to move faster. His fur is short, with a gleaming black pelt, with faint grey stripes that can be seen upon closer inspection running down his back. The fur on his belly is longer, and less care is taken to maintain its appearance. The fur on his belly and legs isn't a solid colour, and is a swirling mix of grey and white, and very pale blue. His tail is average in size compared to his body length, and is completely black, except for the tip, which is a very dark grey, which could be mistaken for black. He often uses his tail as a way to convey annoyance or frustration. His eyes are a pale grey, with tinted blue ridges. His gaze seems to penetrate deep into the soul of those he focuses on, as if he can deduce all their secrets. His ears are often tilted forward, unless some sound elsewhere grabs his attention, in which case his ears swivel towards the source. He often leans forward slightly, which allows him to quickly burst into chase if need be. However, he also has the ability to sit still for hours on end which he often does when contemplating a problem.
Other: His elemental power is that of fire, as it reflects his power to mesmerize, and harm those he comes into contact with. He also has the Shadow power.
Mental
Strengths: He is very determined, and will go to great lengths to achieve something that he desires, although this does not extend to all areas of his life. When he takes interest in something, he will be determined to succeed, no matter what the cost. This often leads to an almost crazed obsession, which results in him neglecting other aspects of his lives, such as friends, sleep and even food. However, it does mean that he can be relied on to complete a task (as long as he has taken an initial interest in it in the first place, otherwise he isn't bothered)
He appears to be fearless, often showing disregard for his own (and sometimes others) safety, and rushing into danger, in search for adventure. This makes him a valuable ally, as he will never panic in the face of danger, and he remains logical throughout any situation.
He is also very smart, and observational. He tends to notice little things that others would overlook, such as a faint smell of the forest covered by the strong odour of a foul smelling plant on a wolf who said it had been elsewhere. He would be able to deduce, and then would openly announce that the wolf was lying, and possibly discover the reason behind the lie.
His power of observation also makes him a skilled hunter, as he finds it easy to track down prey, and his large size, and powerful agility give him an advantage when it comes to the kill.
He is also an excellent liar, and finds it easy to manipulate people. He has a fairly low morale code (killing would not be beyond him, although he would not kill or harm without reason. He just tends to be less sympathetic towards others, and sees himself as almost superior to anyone else) so it does not bother him to use people for his own purposes, so he often uses his skill in lying to achieve his own will.
Weaknesses:
He is deeply sarcastic, with a twisted sense of humour, which can often intimidate other wolves.
He is also careless, and craves danger for the rush of adrenaline that accompanies it. He often rushes into dangerous situations without thinking about the possible consequences.
He is also very selfish, expecting everyone else to do the things he considers boring (such as marking territory borders) and expecting others to put up with his rude and offensive behaviour and still obey every word he utters. This means he often ends up isolating himself, which is dangerous when in the wild.
He is also inconsiderate towards others feelings, although not always on purpose. He tends to talk down to others, not realising that they find it offensive.
He is also irritable, and lacks patience when it comes to others, meaning he finds it difficult to join a pack, but he knows that he wouldn't survive on his own for long, as he is too lazy, and wouldn’t be able to carry his own weight.
He also struggles with his emotions, and his need for logic over instincts and emotions leads to intense internal conflict, which does nothing but frustrate him in his attempt to remain logical. This also makes him poor in relationships as he doesn't understand how to act.
Personality: He is prone to sudden mood changes, such as going from sullen and depressed, to incredibly excited. He can however sulk for days on end. When he is sulking for whatever reason, he will always withdraw into himself, and becomes a bit lethargic. Sometimes he won’t speak for days when he is sulking. Although he has a tendency to sulk, he only ever does so if he was already bored. If he is currently interested in something, he will not sulk, but can become tetchy and irritable, especially if he thinks he can do nothing about the thing that has grabbed his attention.
He becomes bored very easily, finding the large majority of individuals dull and predictable. He is often unpredictable as he does not want to become boring himself. He often remains detached towards his emotion, and very rarely conveys any emotions to others, besides annoyance, frustration and boredom. He tends to think of himself as one against the world, even if he is a member of a pack.
Although he is largely introverted, and prefers being on his own, he does have moments when he feels lonely. Due to his irritability, he does not socialise a lot, and lacks some social skills. He very rarely will go out of his way for someone else, but when he does make a close friend, it means a lot. When he manages to make a true friend, who he decides to trust (which is rare, as he has difficulty trusting others) he is incredible loyal, and will put their safety above his, although he is not beyond insulting them at times, even if he doesn’t mean to.
Although he lacks ambition, he enjoys being in control, so will challenge other wolves if it means not having anyone being superior to him.
History: He was born in a litter of four, but only him and his sister survived to their first year of life. His pack was relatively small, with only his parents, their pups, and a couple of other wolves. The pack was fully Lupus, but it spent a lot of time travelling, having never claimed a true territory, as the pack was too small to protect a territory. This meant they often came into contact with other species, especially the Keiyou. This has given him a open minded view of other species, although he still retains a sense of superiority, although that is due to his large ego, and he does not discriminate between species. He has occasionally come into contact with Myou, and finds them interesting, rather than odd. When they were approaching 2 years of age, his sister was killed by an Averra. Shortly after he received his elemental power of fire. He practiced religiously, trying to distract himself not only from his own grief, but from the grief of his parents, and the extra pressure he found himself under as their only remaining pup. He naturally excelled at his power of fire, being able to control it with ease, and with further practice he was able to manifest fire, although he still hasn’t been able to create fire every time he tried. He is able to create fire about four times out of ten. When he reached the age of three, his parents gave birth to another litter of three pups. He left shortly after, prepared to live as a rogue, until he discovered the dangers that faced a lone wolf, and realized that he found himself feeling lonely, and found isolation more boring then interaction with others.
Extra (this is more for my own benefit, to explain my OOC absence, in an IC way)- He came across a scent that he recognized, although he was unsure where from. He followed it, and came into contact with his younger brother, who he had last seen as a pup. He travelled with him, and was reunited with his old pack. He found out that his mother had died a few months beforehand. He was unsure about how to feel. He spent a few months with them, spending most o the time with his two younger sisters, and his younger brother. He kept away from his dad, as there was still some tension there, as his father was unahppy that he had left the pack, whille he felt that he had been rejected by his father. When he was out hunting with his siblings, one of his younger sisters was seriously injured, due to his recklessness. She was paralyzed from the waist down, after having her back broken. He was kicked out of the pack by his father who blamed him, while his siblings did nothing to help him. He left, deciding to search for a healer who might be able to cure his sister. It was at that time that he developed the power of shadows, much to his surprise. He was naturally angry that the Great spirit had decided to give him a power that wouldn't help his sister. He lost his faith in The Great Spirit, and decided that the reason he got the power was because he had shamed his family,s o the shadows was the best place for him.
