Sylas is truly a colossal presence among wolves, standing at an astonishing 38 inches at the shoulder. His sheer size is a spectacle in the wild, often making those who encounter him gasp in awe and in horror. His burly and muscular build is even more pronounced, and he appears like a living embodiment of strength and dominance. His chest and shoulders are exceptionally broad, the power in his frame is evident as his muscles ripple beneath his thick, charcoal-gray fur. Sylas' legs are powerfully built, with thickly muscled thighs and calves, providing him with unmatched agility and speed despite his immense size. His paws are enormous, padded with strong, calloused soles with the long, sharp claws on the ends.

Sylas' most captivating and mesmerizing feature is undoubtedly his glowing orange eyes. Sylas' eyes are not just orange; they seem to emit a soft, otherworldly glow, like the flickering flames of a campfire. Although primarily charcoal-gray, Sylas' coat may exhibit subtle variations in shade. Hints of silver and darker streaks may run through his fur, creating a mesmerizing interplay of color and texture. His fur is dense and plush, providing insulation against the elements and keeping him warm during the harsh winter months.

Personality:

Sylas’s aura is shrouded in mystery, drawing beings towards him like moths to a flame. His motives and intentions are often veiled, leaving others to wonder about the depths of his wisdom and power. Sylas is keenly observant of the thoughts, desires, and fears of those he influences. He is a creature of contemplation and introspection. He spends much of his time pondering the complexities of the universe and the interconnectedness of all living beings. Sylas rarely divulges personal information, leaving others wondering about his past, motivations, and true nature. Sylas tends to stay in the shadows, observing the world around him with keen, watchful eyes. His ability to sense vulnerabilities in people and circumstances makes him a master at identifying advantageous opportunities. Sylas’s sharp wit and cunning are not just for show; they are tools of manipulation. He is skilled at steering conversations, orchestrating events, and playing on the emotions and weaknesses of others to achieve his own ends. His ability to manipulate situations to his advantage is so subtle, most go unrecognized. Sylas understands the potency of fear as a weapon. He employs psychological tactics to keep others on edge, using the threat of his potential actions to bend situations to his advantage. This mastery over fear gives him an upper hand in any conflict. Sylas views life as an eternal game of chess, where every move has consequences and potential casualties.

Sylas is naturally distrustful of others. He approaches new relationships and interactions with caution, always wondering about hidden motives and ulterior intentions. This wariness stems from his belief that people often act out of self-interest rather than genuine kindness. Sylas is an astute observer who critically analyzes situations, statements, and behaviors. He tends to see beyond surface appearances and questions the authenticity of what he witnesses. His skepticism compels him to dig deeper for hidden meanings or inconsistencies. Sylas’s cynicism often manifests in his communication style. He employs sarcasm and sharp wit to express his doubts and criticisms, using humor as a defense mechanism against the potential vulnerability of showing his true emotions. Sylas tends to anticipate unfavorable outcomes in most situations. His mindset is grounded in pessimism, leading him to expect disappointment, betrayal, or failure, even when evidence suggests otherwise. This negative anticipation shields him from potential hurt, as he believes that preparing for the worst is a more practical approach. Sylas chooses his social interactions carefully, preferring quality over quantity. He believes that most interactions lack genuine substance and sincerity, so he invests his time and energy only in relationships that prove their worth through consistency and authenticity.

Unfortunately for this hermit, Sylas’s commanding presence naturally positions him as a leader, hence him being placed as a Second-in-Command. Even in situations where he might not be the designated authority figure, his assertiveness and confidence inspire others to look to him for guidance and direction. In the midst of chaos, Sylas establishes discipline and order within his group. He stepped up when he was needed to. He sets high standards for himself and demonstrates the work ethic and dedication he expects from his team. Sylas’s leadership shines when it comes to decision-making. He's unafraid to make tough calls, taking into account various perspectives and information. He is able to look objectively from all sides, helping his Alpha make the correct calls. Sylas’s actions are not impulsive; they are carefully calculated moves designed to achieve his objectives. He weighs risks and rewards with meticulous precision, often executing his plans with a cold determination that leaves little room for error. As the group journeys into the unknown, Sylas has been extending them his knowledge in the art of survival, respecting nature, teaching to take only what needs to be taken.

Sylas’s harsh nature and complex personality often lead to isolation. He's aware that his actions and demeanor set him apart, making it difficult for others to truly understand him. This loneliness is both a result of his persona and a contributing factor to it. Thankfully, he has Naeva and his children. Though Sylas is typically a quiet and composed presence in the pack, anyone who dared to threaten his children would witness a transformation, resulting in a swift and unapologetic response from him.While he's generally distrustful, Sylas is capable of forming bonds built on cautious trust. He carefully selects individuals whom he believes can serve his purposes or align with his goals, and he may let down his guard with them to a limited extent. Despite his imposing exterior, Sylas has vulnerabilities he guards fiercely. He keeps his true weaknesses hidden, as revealing them would be akin to offering his adversaries a weapon against him. Beneath the cold layers lies a flicker of benevolence. Though rare, Sylas might show unexpected kindness, especially to those he deems worthy. He is deeply loyal to his pack, even if he isn’t completely vulnerable to them. In short, he would kill and die for them.

Yearling

Warrior

Appearance:

[credit to Wincey on deviantart]

Aylish is simply a stunning she-wolf. Her prescene alone is commanding and radiating. Since Aylish is still young, she’s smaller in stature than the fully grown adults in her pack.she stands at just 26 inches at the shoulder, and is still growing. Despite her relatively small stature, she carries herself with an innate grace and athleticism. Her lithe frame is built for agility, and she moves with a lightness of step that belies her developing strength. Her coat is a stunning testament to the colors of the earth, creating a captivating mosaic. Starting with the rich medium-brown as the dominant shade, the earthy tones seamlessly transition into each other, creating a harmonious blend. These earthy hues are interspersed with a spectrum of complementary tones—subtle hints of tawny browns, dark chocolates, and warm ochres. As her fur moves from her back toward her lower half, the colors gradually lighten, eventually giving way to a tan-creamy tint.

Aylish's coat is not only a marvel of color but also of texture. Her fur is dense, soft, and velvety to the touch. She takes great care of her pelt, giving it a shiny look. Her deep brown eyes are an enchanting shade of deep brown, resembling the rich, fertile soil of the forest floor. They possess an almost hypnotic quality, drawing observers into her earthy depths. Sometimes, in the sunlight, her eyes reflect a radiant orange hue, like they're drawing in the sun's essence. Her eyes are framed by a ring of dark fur that makes her eyes appear darker. Aylish's paws are relatively small, in keeping with her youthful size, but they are perfectly adapted for the demands of her wild lifestyle. Her paws are padded with thick, calloused soles. At the end of each paw, her claws extend gracefully, tapering to fine points.

Personality:

Aylish carries herself with a self-assured and poised demeanor that belies her age. Her confidence is overpowering at times, almost intimidating. She exudes confidence in her every movement, whether it's during playful romps, exploratory adventures, or encounters with other wildlife. Her confident posture is a testament to her readiness to tackle the challenges of the wild. Her confidence is not just a personal attribute; it hints at her leadership potential. She isn’t afraid to take calculated-risks. While she is young, she isn’t rash. Aylish's confidence acts as a shield against adversity. She faces challenges head-on, unyielding in her determination to overcome obstacles. Her infectious optimism and positive energy are like a beacon, drawing others toward her. Aylish seems to have boundless energy, rarely slowing down. Aylish has an unwavering belief in her own judgment and instincts. She confidently follows her intuition, knowing that she can rely on it in any situation. She is assertive in establishing and maintaining her personal boundaries

Aylish's natural curiosity leads her to investigate the world around her with enthusiasm. She's often the first to explore new scents, investigate unfamiliar objects, or inspect intriguing sounds. Her insatiable desire to learn and discover fuels her growth and understanding of her wilderness home. Aylish's curiosity is most evident during playful moments. She often initiates games and activities that challenge her problem-solving skills and stimulate her creativity. Her playfulness extends to interactions with her pack members. Aylish's keen observation skills allow her to notice subtle changes in the environment and the behaviors of her pack. This attentiveness helps her stay attuned to potential threats or opportunities. She eagerly learns from her parents, older siblings, and pack members, absorbing their wisdom and skills. Her eagerness to acquire knowledge extends to hunting techniques, communication, and the intricacies of pack dynamics.

Aylish has an innate sensitivity to the moods and emotions of her pack. She can discern subtle shifts in body language, vocalizations, and even scent signals, allowing her to gauge the emotional well-being of her pack. When a pack member is distressed or in need, Aylish is quick to notice and respond. When another wolf is experiencing emotional distress, Aylish doesn't hesitate to offer comfort. She might nuzzle, groom, or simply sit quietly beside the distressed individual, providing a calming presence. Her empathetic gestures help alleviate tension and reinforce the pack's sense of unity. Aylish's empathy extends to her protective instincts. She feels a deep responsibility to ensure the well-being of the pack's vulnerable members, including pups and injured wolves. Her nurturing and protective nature are evident in her actions as she watches over and cares for those in need.

On the flip side, Aylish has a short fuse and can become easily provoked. Her temper flares up in response to perceived disrespect or when her boundaries are crossed. When angered, she doesn't hold back. Aylish’s outbursts can be intense, characterized by passionate and sometimes explosive reactions. She doesn't mince words when upset. Aylish can be brutally honest and verbally cutting when she's angry, often leaving others stunned by her sharp tongue. Her explosive temper can strain relationships, as it's not uncommon for disagreements to escalate into intense arguments or even temporary rifts. Her anger is all consuming, Aylish can experience a blinding rage that clouds her judgment and fuels her destructive tendencies. She holds grudges for extended periods, nursing her anger over time until the opportunity for retribution arises. Her ability to maintain anger over long stretches can be unsettling. While her temper can be intense, it often dissipates quickly. Aylish may cool down just as fast as she heats up, leaving those around her bewildered by the rapid shift in her emotions.

Thoughts on the Borealis Pack

As long as his pack is left alone, he is impartial to their existence. His focus is on building up his own pack, and that focus will only shift to the Borealis Pack if they do something... regretful.

Pack Reputation

He is the levelheaded, aloof one. Agnar doesn't put himself out there; he's content doing his duties and listening to those above him. However, he has been known to maim or kill wolves who have threatened the pack, and it is clear that he will take care of a threat no matter where it comes from - even from inside the pack itself.

Appearance

This male is, frankly, massive. Standing at 34 inches and weighing in at nearly 170 pounds, he certainly has all the qualifications for brute force. His body is well-muscled and set in such a way as to provide him with impeccable strength and endurance. His speed and agility are hindered by his size, but he is not in a deep deficit of such things.

His thick coat has a deep black base coloration. Slate and silver hairs create a rippling appearance and lighten him in some places. His neck, shoulders, and hind ventral are most decorated with this color mixture. His elbows and along the inside of his shoulder blades are also significantly lighter. A few light gray patches reside on his flanks, elbows, tail, and back legs. His face is a shiny black; how light it appears depends on the sun's strength. His coat, overall, has an almost liquid-like appearance to it.

Agnar's eyes are a pale yellow. They almost appear gray, though the slight hint of gold offsets that notion. His stare is intense, unwavering, and cold. While he does not make an effort to really hide his emotions, his relaxed face often appears as though he is much more mysterious than he is intending to be.

Combined with his foreboding coloration and large stature, this male is quite intimidating to those who don't know him -- and even some who do. His walk is a powerful, languid stride. There is no uncertainty to this male; he has a steady, eerily calm way about him. His low tone is composed and collected, even in the most heated of situations.

Personality

Agnar has a cold stoicism to him. As his appearance suggests, he is a very capable individual, and not just in physical strength. His mental prowess is just as great; this wolf is extremely intelligent and strategy-driven. He is a warrior through and through; his plans are always centered around the goal of maintaining the pack's wellbeing and success. The means by which that occurs is completely in the air. He can play fair, or he can fight dirty.

Agnar is loyal to his pack as a whole. Certain wolves hold more respect or admiration than others, but he would never cause harm to any of them from a place of malice. Unless, of course, they were traitors or otherwise unworthy of any wolf's respect. Agnar has no problems with bloodshed. He's killed before and he will kill again, and perhaps one day he himself will be killed. It is simply the way of life.

Even during times of peace and overall relaxation, this male is calculating. He is not always thinking up plans for battle or hunts; occasionally, he thinks of more normal things as well, such as trying to figure out another wolf's mind or predicting the weather. He can be a fairly easygoing creature, though he is never one to be stepped upon. Agnar will not hide his dislike for a wolf, no matter their rank, especially if they treat all those below them as wretches.

He is patient in some ways and short in others. When dealing with pups, executing strategies, and hunting or fighting, he has all the time in the world to watch, respond, and perform perfectly. However, when it comes to adolescent wolves, whining, blatantly snide comments, or picking fights, this male becomes the "you started it and I will finish it" figure. And he will act on his words, usually to the hurt ego of the other parties.

He does not share his feelings or thoughts outside of working. Even those who consider themselves to be closest to him have but a small glimpse into his emotions, his desires. He has a strong set of morals and does not deviate from them; Agnar can be described as quite chivalrous, though he is no respecter of rank alone. Lineage means nothing to him, and anyone who banks on their heritage for sway in anything disgusts him. Agnar does not tolerate obnoxiousness, whining, laziness, lying, or anything else of the sort.

He is a rule follower. He can be fairly snarky when annoyed or agitated. Agnar is mature, though, and he almost always acts as such. He will become playful around pups and perhaps share a joke or two with other males his age, but he is mostly just a wisened wolf with leadership capabilities.

Thoughts on the New Lord

So far, he's proved to be a good pick. She is actually quite satisfied, though she has never been one to show much outward affection, so she doesn't broadcast it to the world. Freydis is interested to see how he grows, and thus she will stand by him until he proves tyrannical or otherwise unfit for leadership.

Pack Reputation

She's known to be callous in battle, reserved on hunts, and deathly chilly during confrontations. She works hard at everything she does, but she is not so eager to please as to become a suck up. Freydis works with the pack in mind, and she's good at letting grudges go for the sake of the whole. Some may tread lightly around her due to the difficulty of determining her ambitions.

Appearance

Freydis is a lovely wolf. She stands at a solid 31 inches and weighs in at a healthy number for her height, albeit on the slightly lighter side. Everything about her is long and relatively slender. Her build is muscular and lithe all at once, giving her boosted agility while still maintaining a considerably formidable strength. She is certainly not the strongest when it comes to brute force, but she has impressive stamina and is surefooted and nimble.

Freydis is lighter in her coloration. Her coat is made up of an array of honeys, tawny browns, and ambers, with the occasional dark streak or extra light section making a more jarring appearance. Her fur is on the shorter side but is thick and soft, providing her with ample warmth and basic protection against claws and teeth. She doesn't leave gobs of fur lying around, so that's a plus. Six butterflies. Her scruff is thick and the fur is longer here and around her ears, giving her a semblance of a short mane. This fur dwindles back down once it reaches her shoulders and just past her shoulder blades.

Freydis's shoulders and along the sides of her back are the darkest areas by far, reaching a near black color. They contrast with an immediate transition to a paler creamy tan, which gives in to grays and more honey and tawny colors. Her face is checkered with a little bit of every color, and the bases of her ears are nearly red-orange. Her tail tip is black.

Freydis has piercing yellow eyes that are surrounded by darker fur that resembles winged eyeliner. Her eyes often appear to hold no emotion and can easily be described as unsettling. Her left eye hosts a scar just above the browbone at a slight angle and another that appears to be a continuation of the first, streaking across and beneath her lower eyelid. It is not a very deep scar, though, with her shorter facial fur, it is more noticeable. She hosts many other scars that are scattered across her frame. Such is the life of a warrior. However, none of them have been worthy of stories, in her opinion; they are simply from doing her job.

Freydis has a fairly sultry voice, low and silky, that matches her appearance well. Her words and movements, when she is not in danger, are languid and steady. They are always well thought-out. In the heat of battle, her voice takes on a scary harshness, and her movements are quick and nimble. Deadly. She is deadly. Freydis is a poisonous rose.

Personality

On the outside, this wolf is rather sweet. She charms those around her with words they want to hear, feeding their desires in a subtle, innocent manner. Freydis is witty, charismatic, and persuasive. Her softer appearance and her approach to things give her a harmless look about her, allowing her to get close to multiple wolves. From there, she continues to work her magic until her own goals are achieved.

She may appear docile and perhaps even submissive, but she is a fierce creature. Freydis is ambitious and constantly works to prove herself, to her pack, to be reliable, strong, loyal, and worthy. Worthy of what, she cannot say. Love? Fear? Respect? A rank? ...Acceptance? In her younger years, and perhaps now still, she was looked down on by many. She knows this, and she cannot let it go. She lives to be the greatest.

Freydis is cunning, intelligent, and wily. The line between facade and reality with her is so blurred that it's impossible to tell whose side she's on or what her real plans are. The only firm, set-in-stone, foundational truths to this she-wolf are these: she is loyal to the pack, she works hard, and she's after the high ranks. She respects the wolves holding them, obviously, but even the greatest legends leave the world.

Her emotions are unknown. She messes with everyone, but only a few are genuine. The question is, which ones? In summation, she is a different kind of dangerous. Freydis whispers in many ears. She turns many hearts. She lulls wolves into a dangerously relaxed state. Whether or not her intentions with any one wolf are malicious is unknown. She is an enigma -- a smart, calculating, devious enigma. And a fierce warrior to boot.

Thoughts on the New Lord:

He is watching carefully. While he has faith in the lord's parents and their decisions, he is wary to automatically assume all will be well. Their successor is capable and possesses all the right qualities, and this wolf certainly loves him like his own son, but a smidgeon of doubt lingers. Was going by bloodline the right choice? Will everyone else accept this new leader? Dakota is 100% certain every young female only supports him for a chance at becoming the queen, and he wishes a mate had been picked before this fiasco.

Pack Reputation:

He has been around since the beginning. Any wolf who has since joined or been born into the pack knows Dakota. He's the terrifying instructor that all the yearlings had to impress in order to become full fledged members. He was renowned for his prowess in battle and his success as a hunter as well. Even in his older age, he is still an intimidating figure.

Appearance

He was taller, once. More well-built, athletic, stocky even. He has shrunk down a little, now standing at a fair 29-30 inches. His muscle remains, but it is more lean than it used to be, and it holds taut on his bones rather than fleshing him out. Dakota walks a little slower now, and his steps are somewhat disjointed at times, but he still carries the pride and power of the young brute he once was. His gold eyes are just as sharp as they've always been, their position painting his face in a perpetual glare. There are no signs of blindness in them, nor is he losing hearing yet. He reluctantly awaits this fate, but his senses remain largely intact for now, which he counts as a blessing.

His once thick and sleek coat has dulled and become rather patchy in some places. His face, which was once pitch black and set atop a gold-rimmed neck, has several white and gray hairs now making their appearances, though, rather than congregating on his muzzle, the majority of them line his cheekbones, temples, and eyebrows. The honey gold fur behind his ears and intermingling with the black on his neck has dulled to a paler tan. His rump, sides, and shoulders show his age the most with missing patches of fur, more gray hairs, and the ever-increasing thinness that makes rips and hocks more visible.

Scars are scattered all over his body. Most of them are small enough that only a close inspection of his pelt will pull them into notice, but he has some -- especially on the left side of his face, on his neck, and on his hind legs -- that are much more prominent. Dark skin has been pulled extra taut in these places, and his lips don't quite meet on that left side due to a small chunk being taken out once. This last scar gives him a curled lip look even when he is relaxed. He is well-versed in battle and hunting, and it shows.

Now, he is not so old yet as to be classified as the "skin and bones" category. There is still plenty of strength in his aging frame, and any wolf with two brain cells will know it. He was always built for agility, always on the leaner side, which hasn't helped his case as he's aged; however, his voice remains strong, deep, and authoritative, and his wits are still very much about him.

He will always be willing to help her with her ambitions -- as long as they're good, that is. Any male who vies for the attention of any of his daughters will have him to answer to, and he does not take broken hearts kindly.

Ansa (daughter - 3Y) -- Another pride and joy of his is Ansa. He's quite proud that she took after him in appearance and maybe a little bit in personality as well. She is also subjected to his advice, and he is quite supportive of most of her dealings as well. As it is with all his girls, he will put a suitor through a trial by fire to make sure they are fit to take care of the things he holds most dear.
