[» Instinct «]

Name: Arrow
Nickname(s): n/a
Age: 5 years
Gender: Male

Height: 32 inches
Weight: 110 pounds
Overall Description:

Arrow's body is built like that of an arrow; smooth and sleek, yet powerful and dangerous. His size won't intimidate you, but it will make you think twice before you decide to engage in a battle with him. He has a smaller build than normal, and his body has very little fat on it. Hardened, lean muscle occupies most of his body. His eyes are round, but have a sharp look about them. A short muzzle leads to a large, black nose. Alert, cone-shaped ears sit at the top of his skull. His chest is rather deep, with long legs supporting his body. A long tail tapers off to a feathery end.

Arrow's color isn't too astounding. His back and the top of his head is a mixture of black, white, tan, and grey hairs. The mixture of colors continues until his until about halfway to his belly, where it recedes to a light cream color. His lower flank, underbelly, and legs are made up of the light hairs as well. His muzzle is made of the light color, where it goes up as far as his eyes and as wide as both sides of his throat. A patch of tan fur sits atop his head, between his two ears.

Personality:

Arrow is probably one of the most intense, serious personalities around. He doesn't respond well to humor and sarcasm. Coupled with his immense pride, he can easily rub somebody the wrong way. Arrow can also be rude sometimes and seems to forget about being kind and polite. Formalities are just an excuse to waste energy, in his opinion. Arrow has an extreme control over his emotions and can easily put on a mask if he needs to. Most people will never see Arrow fully relax, as he never lets his guard down when he's around others.

He is fierce in battle, able to dive into war without any qualms and continue fighting even when he is wounded. He is surprisingly calm among chaos, and can deliver orders in the thick of a battle. Outside of battle, Arrow is a fair leader and never rushes into making important decisions. He will always allow someone to give their side of the story before making a judgement when a conflict presents itself. He is, in fact, so devoted to his pack that it takes a toll on him, both physically and mentally. He doesn't allow himself to get close to many people, as he views life as a battlefield and doesn't want to bear the pain of losing a close friend or lover.

Arrow has a hidden dark side to him, one that he doesn't allow anyone to see. His main motive in his quest to power over a pack is to gain a force behind him strong enough to wage war on The Empire and get revenge on it. He is a very stubborn wolf and will never relent an inch when it comes to compromising. It's either his way, or the highway.

History:

Arrow's birth pack was a small group of about ten wolves that were closely knit. Arrow grew up with eight siblings around him, three of which were litter mates and the other five from his parents' previous litters. The pack always had enough food and everyone in the pack were strong and healthy.

Arrow had lost two older siblings by the time he was one and a new litter had been born into the pack. The pack decided it was time for Arrow to step up and contribute to the pack. Once it was determined that they would be the newest addition to the hunting groups, there was never any going back. The atmosphere became strict and military-like with little or no play. Arrow didn't mind it, though, because it was his father's words and his father's words were law.

At two and a half years old, one of his brothers left the pack to form his own pack. Arrow never got the urge to follow him, though, as he was content in his parents' pack. At three years, he would be forced to leave his pack due to it's perilous end. The Empire attacked the pack, sending it into chaos. Arrow fled the scene, managing to be the sole escapee. He returned to the carnage once the large pack had left, and determined it there that a vendetta was to be placed upon The Empire. He would see it destroyed, even if it kills him.
