Name: Markus

Age: Five years

Gender: brute

Pack: Loner

Position:

Appearance: Markus is a wolf with a standard pelt color. His underside and face are white. However, his face is masked by a color that is neither solid grey nor solid brown, but a mixture of the two. His eyes are light brown, so light that they are close to tan. His legs are long and slender, but his large paws barely seem to belong to a wolf with such slim legs. Markus' ears are tall and bushy, mostly brownish-grey but flecked with white. As he is beginning to age, the end of his muzzle is starting to take on a grey tinge. His body is large and fairly muscular, and his muzzle is long and very pointed. Markus rarely fights, but he appears to be the type that could be a major threat if he wanted to. Markus has long fangs kept white by chewing many bones throughout his life, and his claws are sharp, for he rarely walks on hard surfaces. Markus is a bit uncomfortable with his large size and dislikes being around small, skinny wolves because of it. His overall appearance is somewhat threatening, but he has a serene aura that can draw others to him.

Personality: Markus is generally a very kind, caring wolf. Despite this, when he becomes angry, he can easily act very threatening. He panics often and has a tinge of insanity about him - he is almost borderline neurotic. He enjoys resting, since he is often tired, and his normally peaceful personality makes him enjoy talking with other wolves. He refuses to fight, due to the fact that he strongly dislikes violence. Indeed, Markus believes that everything can be handled in a peaceful way. He is intelligent and has a good grasp on what to do in nearly every situation. However, this doesn't keep him from panicking, as he often forgets just how smart he is. Markus can be a bit paranoid at times, and it is hard for him to completely trust anyone. He is bold around those he is familiar with, but sometimes has a hard time talking to strangers. When he isn't having one of his outbursts of panic, he is very calm, confident, and laid-back. Markus' kind personality makes him easy to get along with, though his strangeness sometimes makes him hard to understand.

History: Markus' father died a week before he was born, leaving his mother to care for him alone. His birth was a hard one, and at first, his mother even thought that he was stillborn. However, he was very much alive, and became healthier as the weeks passed. His first memories were of his mother's soft voice, soothing him quietly. He remembered her doing it from the moment his hearing came. Then his sight came, and he saw that she was a gorgeous white fae.

He knew that he had no siblings, and his mother explained to him that a bear had taken them. It was then that Markus began to ponder life and death, and how it worked. At the time, all he understood was that wolves were born, and they eventually went into a sleep that they would never awaken from - peacefully or by the force of something else. However, it was a good thing that he understood death at such an early age, unlike most pups. As the weeks passed, Markus began to impatiently await the day he left the den. Finally, his mother led him into the sunlight one day. Markus instantly loved the outdoors. He enjoyed the feeling of freedom, and of being surrounded by the natural world around him.

One day, tragedy struck. His mother went out to hunt for a rabbit - Markus' meal - about one hundred yards away from the den. Markus saw motion and heard a loud noise, something he had never heard before, yet he could instantly tell that it was not good. He ran to his mother, and saw that she was dead. There was a wound caused by what his mother had taught him about early on...the weapon of a human being. Markus ran away from the scene, blinded by tears. He was almost a yearling by then, and so he could take care of himself, but he still missed his mother, his only family member, deeply.

Since then, Markus has lived as a loner, taking care of himself for years. Despite what has happened to him, he rose above and remained a kind wolf. However, his pain shaped anger, and that anger shaped a temper that emerges in desperate situations. He has also become a panicky, nervous wolf, and is especially fearful of what he does not know of. He only hopes to be able to find a home again someday, to find a family. For with a family and a home comes the most important thing of all - happiness. Though he dislikes wandering, he is willing to do so for as long as it takes to find home. However, he wonders if a pack will ever accept him, what with his corrupted personality.

Heya,

This looks like a fun wolf to play. Good profile.
