Role in Pack:
Beta
Personality:
Ryker Chaise stands as a calming presence, blending an easy-going spirit with a serious commitment to his responsibilities. There's this serene vibe about him, like the quiet strength that comes with the coastal breeze in Bandon. Ryker's the kind of guy you can approach for advice or just to share a moment of tranquility under the canopy of trees.
His easy-going nature doesn't mean he's all laughs and jokes, though. There's a certain seriousness to Ryker that's hard to ignore. It's like he carries the weight of responsibility with grace, and you can see it in the way he organizes the equestrian events or guides folks through the arts and crafts activities. His calm and steady leadership style makes you feel like everything's going to be alright, even in the midst of festival chaos.
When it comes to nature, Ryker's got this connection that feels almost spiritual. You'll catch him enjoying the outdoors, especially with the horses. It's like he understands the language of the wind and the rustle of leaves, adding a touch of harmony to the pack's existence. His love for the simplicity of the outdoors shines through in everything he does.
Appearance:
Ryker Chaise stands tall at 6 feet 3 inches, his presence commanding attention in a crowd. His build is lean and athletic, a result of his active involvement in equestrian activities and outdoor pursuits. His fair, sun-kissed skin reflects the coastal influence of Bandon, embodying the connection he has with nature. Ryker's short-cropped, sandy blond hair gives him a rugged yet approachable look, and his piercing blue eyes convey both warmth and a depth of understanding.
Ryker Chaise's clothing reflects the practical and easy-going spirit that defines his character. For casual occasions, he leans towards the comfort of well-worn jeans or cargo pants. His choice of shirts or soft flannel reflects a laid-back coastal charm, with earthy tones seamlessly blending into the natural surroundings of Bandon. Sturdy yet comfortable boots, worn from countless trails and festival setups, complete the ensemble. Ryker might add a personal touch with leather bracelets or accessories, each piece carrying a story from his experiences within the pack.
Hidden talents:
Woodworking:
To relax or a hobby, Ryker has taken a liking to making intricate and simple designs into small wood pieces, many revolving around his horses. They can be found around his room and his office.
Navigation:
He has a sense of direction, whether he's on the beach or in the woods, always finding his way back home.
Herbal Knowledge:
Ryker does know quite a bit of herbal knowledge, mainly for his horses but also for his pack if Maeve and Sam needs extra assistance.
Fears:
Pack Safety:
Ryker worries constantly for his pack's safety, whether they are out on the job or just around the community. He can also be a bit stern on safety equipment for everything as there is always a chance of getting bucked off a horse.
Losing his horses:
Yes, it's real. He connects with his horses like he does his packmates, bonding with them. Losing them would most likely take a piece of him away, like losing a family member.
Tradition Changes:
Ryker is one for tradition, he believes tradition should stay. If anything changes within that, then there was something wrong. Festival events changing were perfectly fine with him, but changing the festival would not sit well with him. Similar to a certain alpha female that isn't immediate pack.
