Kairos is a heftier male, 2.5ft in height and weighs nearly 150 lbs. While this is mostly just muscle, you wouldn't know because of his big belly and longer, denser fur. He is in all ways a very pudgy looking wolf from just a few glances at him. His nose is a dark brown/reddish color, with all his paw pads following suit. Kairos’ eyes are large, almost puppy-like, and a very nice shade of amber-y orange with a slight yellow tinge to the centers of the iris(much like his brother's eye color).

He is a brown wolf with clashes of creamier browns/tans and darker browns. His face is nearly all creamy tan, making a W from his left cheek fur tuft, to the middle point which is his nose ridge and muzzle, and to the right cheek fur tuft. From the left and right cheek tufts, a darker less saturated brown creates a stripe-like appearance to his face, they come all the way up and wrap slightly around his ears and trailing off. His eyebrows and ear tips are a rich, dark brown that makes his face a permanent angry expression.

On his neck, the lower half has a creamy tan that goes into his belly, legs and travels across his ribs to sort of “cut” his body in half. His neck is also the same darker brown present on his face, which can also be seen on his belly sides, as well as little spurts on his tail and back legs. The rich, darkest brown swathes down the scruff of his neck straight down to the tail tip, with a broken branch towards his upper back legs/thighs and on his front legs are a patch on his shoulders.

Personality:

Kairos is a wolf with a distinct presence, exuding a mix of confidence and quiet strength. Independent and pragmatic, Kairos is not one to seek the spotlight but commands respect nonetheless. His movements are always with a purpose. While he values his solitude, Kairos is a very social guy who enjoys his talks with other packmates.

Kairos’ siblings might have a connection with the Above Ones, or whoever, but clearly it didn't pass to him as well because Kairos doesn't have that gift. His relationship with the Above Ones is just about the same as any wolf other than the shamans. Even with a belief in the Above ones, he still does not believe they interact with the wolves of the pack and when something goes wrong, there is always someone close by to pin the blame on.

He's not one for unnecessary risks but will defend the pack fiercely when threatened. If he feels you have said something to be offensive, or he doesn't agree with your views on something, he will argue and even become aggressive if talked about long enough. Though this isn't often, if does get in between him and others.

In moments of downtime, Kairos can often be found patrolling the boundaries of his territory or lounging in a patch of sunlight, savoring the simple pleasures of life in the wild. When you do see him, he'll be in deep thought about his mate and/or son, or any current event happening. While he loves his son, and family is incredibly important to him, Kairos blames him for his mother’s exile. He doesn't want [his son] to be exiled either, and so he is incredibly hard on him. Kairos doesn't realize he is so harsh to him, and when it's brought up, he simply uses the phrase, “he needs to wisen up a bit” or “my parents treated me the same”. Kairos would never out right try and be mean to his son.

Strengths:

1. Kairos possesses natural leadership qualities, exuding confidence and inspiring loyalty among his packmates with his quiet strength.

2. He excels at finding practical solutions to challenges, adapting to diverse situations in the wilderness with his resourcefulness, ensuring the pack's survival.

3. Fiercely protective of his pack, Kairos's unwavering dedication to their safety makes him a reliable guardian, willing to defend his territory at all costs.

Weaknesses:

1. Kairos's strong beliefs and reluctance to change can lead to stubbornness, hindering the pack's adaptability and fostering discord within their ranks.

2. Despite his usual composure, Kairos's quick temper and impulsive reactions when provoked or challenged can escalate conflicts, straining relationships and destabilizing pack dynamics.

3. Carrying unresolved guilt and resentment, particularly regarding his son and mother's exile, Kairos's emotional baggage may cloud his judgment and impede his ability to maintain healthy relationships within the pack.

Súsán

[Irish for "Moss;" named for his appearance specifically. Name can be written without the accents if easier]

Age:

6 years

Sex:

Male

Rank:

Alpha Male

Desired Rank:

He is content

Reputation

Súsán is, well, a rigorous leader and one who does his damn best to make up for lost time. He's the one who set the curfew, and he is the one keeping the pack safe. He's confident, portrays himself as a powerful being- even more than the former alpha, and is involved within his pack, though continues to ensure his role as alpha is understood and not questioned. However, these past few months he's grown to be harsh and is less forgiving of things he was once lenient towards. He can be argued now as cruel, or that he is simply doing what is needed for the survival of the pack.

Thoughts on Disappearance

It's odd; there is a lot that doesn't add up, but as of now it isn't his main concern to seek out the dead. He needs to focus on his pack more, especially with the recent stirring.

Thoughts on New Alpha

He is new alpha, he can't really vocalize his own thoughts on himself that'd just sound like his inner monologue.

Appearance

Súsán is a dark pelted wolf, standing at around 30" to the withers, 6' from nose to tail, and weighting a hefty 145 lbs. His build is muscular, although it is often hidden underneath his thick coat. His paws have feathering, alternatively called tufts, and his chin too is tufted, almost like a beard. His cheek fur is long, hanging down similar to that of a lynx. His legs are stocky, not too long nor short, just right to carry his strong body across the terrain he resides in. Súsán has a long face, which some can at times tease about, his nose bridge having a bump on it and being best described as roman with its slight downward curve. His ears are small, which looks out of place compared to his long face and fur, making it seem like they never grew with him. There is a defining scar on Súsán's right side of his face, starting from his lip and ending all the way above his brow. The scar leaves a tear on his lip, exposing his canine. There are no other visible scars on his body.

His coat itself is a rich earthy color, a dark muted charcoal brown that comes off as black unless the sun bathes it in its rays. His muzzle is a slightly lighter brown, traveling down his throat before being segmented then continuing to travel down his chest halfway down his belly in a thinner streak. His paws are also this same shade of brown, only really painting the underside of his paws rather than the entire paw itself. His tail also has this slightly lighter undercoat, only going from halfway to his tip. Due to his age, he has greying on him. His muzzle, only around his nose and maw, has a much lighter earthy brown that can also be seen on his tail, ears, and chest. With his age he has some "greying" hairs on his pelt, those hairs mainly being the same color as his scarce undercoat and paling fur. They're sprinkled across his body, some on his face too, and it being especially concentrated on his snout by the base of his nose.

Besides his scar, there is yet another defining feature on Súsán's face: a 3 point marking in this same lighter brown. The marking is broken unevenly, and rests between his eyebrows. His eyebrows themselves are bushy, this same shade of brown, the right one being split by the scar. They're often furrowed, though it's less to do with his emotions and more that he is just very used to it. Were he not a hairy fellow he would be so very wrinkled on his face. His facial expression almost always defaults to a slight frown and furrowed brows, though he does have other expressions he shows. This is just his resting face, I promise.

His eyes are a pale yellow, ringed with a small variety of blue around his pupils. His right eye, however, has a clouded pupil; Súsán is blind in this eye, the cause being the scar he received on his face. The blindness he has in this eye is not total blackness, but rather vision that is so fuzzy he simply cannot recognize much besides lights and shadows. This means vision wise he relies more on his left, and will compensate with his other senses such as his hearing. His nose is a rich charcoal black, and his paw pads reflect that same color. His ears however are a dark reddish pink color, his scar being a lighter color of this.

Personality

Súsán can best be described as, well, rigorous. He rules the pack with an iron fist (paw ??), and while he is not of the lineage that initially ruled the pack he is, in ways, well adjusted to his position within the pack.

There are certain things Súsán can be described as, but no one specific word can truly describe this fellow. He just is. Súsán, as many may know, has a strong affinity for family. While he cares to keep the entire pack safe, he very clearly holds favorites which can be seen when he displays far more attention and affection towards them. He loves his sister, Affogato, and while he may hold himself above the "foolishness" of gossip he can never resist the temptation to sit down and let them lend him an earful a-many when the time comes for. He finds it to be an enjoyable form of bonding, and he's sure his sister can agree. His brother is of a position not that different to him, being beta male and all. Súsán will usually try to align their schedules so that they may have at least one slot of time that allows them to converse and just know how one another is doing. He too cares not just for his blood but for his mate as well. She is just as new to the job as him, and he makes sure she knows she isn't just his mate but his equal. He always consults her prior to making decisions for the pack, and gives her almost equally as much authority as he has. If he is to be ill, or absent, it is her and her alone who will hold the reigns; and if anything it makes him grateful she cannot have her position challenged as it'd mean he would need to place his trust in someone he simply wouldn't be able to trust.

Trust is another thing Súsán holds in high regard. He doesn't believe much in traitors, not in this pack, as there isn't much of anything to betray really. There's just the honest and the dishonest. The trustworthy and the untrustworthy. The loyal and the disloyal. If he trusts you, that is something to hold onto dearly, as his trust is rarely given out to anyone outside of his family. Yes, only a total of 3 wolves has his trust. The rest only have his faith- the faith that they will do their end of their bargains to aide in the survival of themselves and the pack as a whole.

Súsán is not a very social wolf. Well. He is, somewhat, a social creature. He makes sure he's active amongst the lower ranks and isn't just a voice that commands. He isn't foreign. He tries to be involved. He is, hopefully, familiar to any varying degree in the pack. But he isn't very interested in being social. This isn't helped much by the fact Súsán experiences antisocial episodes where he loses all empathy and sympathy, as well as any interest at all, with anyone but himself. He needs to be left alone during these episodes since he is cold and abrasive towards others no matter who they are. Luckily he learned how to tell when these episodes come on, and will promptly inform his mate and brother about them so they can handle things in the meantime while he does whatever and waits out his episodes. This episodes usually last a few hours tops, and only occur no more than 2-3 times a week.

As a leader, besides being rigorous and involved- as involved as he can be, he's grown more harsh these past few months. Súsán is doing it for the sake of everyone's safety, but there's no denying that there is a certain level of stress and frustration that also causes it. He knows there are wolves who don't trust him, wolves who don't see him as fit, and in some way he is trying to prove something.

The list can go on, discussion of his bluntness and active choice to not sugarcoat, his lack of empathy for others, his serious nature that can as easily turn playful when he so chooses, his confidence, and so on. However one thing that will play significance is his spirituality. Súsán grew up with the tales of the Above Ones. At one point he believed them too, but nowadays he isn't much of a believer at all. He simply lost the faith. Because of this, he isn't exactly fond of the spiritual nature behind shamans. He appreciates them for their work, they are a backbone in the pack, but only for medicinal purposes. They aren't much else to him, just doctors who interpret things that are supposedly spiritual. It is likely that he may even begin to stop seeking out advice from them, not wanting to place value on the uncertain, and only consult with his mate. This lack of belief will, eventually, take a turn and become something new for him but it isn't yet anything of importance.

Strengths

• Logical; Súsán is not one for allowing the words of shamans and believers cloud his judgement, and because of this he focuses more on the practical and logical. This is how he kept the pack safe thus far, and how he held onto his new position as alpha. This does, however, only take one so far
• Leadership; despite not holding any relation to the alpha lineage, some can argue Súsán has a gift for command and control. He's done an excellent job so far, maybe even better than the previous alpha, and it's because of his skill in this field. A shepherd for lambs, so to speak
• Physical strength; with his bulky build and heft one can only imagine Súsán has strength, and that he does. His strength not only aides him in fights, but it allows for him to have excellent stamina
• Agility; while he lacks in speed and acceleration, Súsán is quite agile and is good at weaving through any terrain so long as it isn't something too narrow.. he'd be too big to fit through ahah

Weaknesses

• Empathy; Súsán struggles with empathy, being that he only has a low amount of it. Cognitive empathy he has little issue with, but emotional empathy ? He has very little of it, and mainly reserves it for his mate and his siblings as he has little emotional connection to anyone else in the pack
• Spirituality; Súsán was never much of a spiritual being, believing more in practicality than the unsound. However this will be his downfall as he gains a newfound rekindling in beliefs that he once barely held onto or cared for, albeit ones that will turn out to be the last thing he needed in his life
• Family; Súsán holds high value on family, blood and otherwise, and this can lead to some.. conflicts. It's hard to just ignore a family member in need, and he will do anything and everything for them
• Speed; while things like agility and stamina are not all that affected for Súsán, he does struggle with speed. He can only top around 32 mph when most wolves can reach up to 37 mph tops. On top of speed there is the acceleration issue as well, takes longer to bolt into top speeds thanks to his build and weight

Other

Much like his sister, he has a connection to the Beasts of the Night. This is a rather new connection, one that absolutely no one is aware of at the moment. They're mere whispers, barely audible, and yet he knows what they say. They do not approach as sinister, albeit that their intentions entirely are. He is coaxed as special, that they are the whispers of the Above Ones, and that he is the only alpha to be touched by such divinity directly. This is something that will play out further into the roleplay.

los campesinos,
