Somnio

Age:
Three years.
Gender:
Male
Breed:
Timber Wolf
Pack:
Earth
Rank:
Hunter

Personality:
Somnio is a very calm being. Most of the time you can find him laying around, minding his own business. He doesn't get involved with the affairs of the pack very often, and he always avoids their drama. He has never taken a mate or even entertained the idea of a mate for this reason. He has seen the drama that goes along with taking a mate. Being worried that she will hurt him, that she is with another wolf. Even if they are happy, what of pups? When they have pups, he has to worry about them too. He would rather not be involved in all of that and just lead a carefree life.

He takes his rank very seriously, and does his best to bring in as much food as he can for his pack-mates every day. Without food, the pack would wither away to nothing and be taken over by their neighbors. He cares deeply for his pack, even if he refuses to get involved with petty squabbles. He would give his life for any of them, any day without a second thought. Most of the pack doesn't know he cares that much about them, though. They take his silence and seclusion as a hint that he doesn't like them or want to be around them. He doesn't ever correct their assumptions, so it isn't really anyone's fault but his own.
Likes:
Fall - The weather is nice, not too hot, not too cold and there aren't many bugs around.
Relaxing - Nothing is better than laying in a comfortable nest of leaves after a long day.
Running - One of the main reasons he was chosen to be a hunter is his speed, and he loves to run and exercise his muscles.
Rain - Somnio loves the rain. It is refreshing, and it is the bringer of life. Without it, everyone would die.
Dislikes:
Summer - Summer is entirely too hot for him, and the bugs are unbearable.
Bugs - He can't stand bugs, swarming, buzzing, and crawling. They freak him out.
Hyper Activity - Watching another wolf run around crazy with all sorts of energy annoys him to no end.
Sadness - He doesn't like to be sad, and he doesn't like to see others sad either. He isn't exactly good at comforting anyone.

History:
Somnio's history starts out as normal as anyone else's. His mother and father fell in love when she was two and he was three. The two of them were both hunters, they were where he got his lean frame from. They were inseparable, always slept in the same nest, and never fought. They loved each other deeply, and all they wanted was to have pups. But they couldn't. Even when Dahlia got old enough to conceive, no matter how many times they tried, nothing ever happened. Dahlia became upset, all she'd ever wanted was to have pups. Thanatos wasn't as bothered, pups would have been nice but his life didn't revolve around them. Dahlia couldn't understand why he was being so nonchalant about it. All she wanted were puppies, the least he could do was pretend. They began to fight, and started to grow apart. They remained mate, but they were distant. When Dahlia was around five, she finally conceived.

Dahlia had never been so happy, and she and Thanatos grew close again. They were as in love as ever, and Thanatos made sure to protect her and keep her off of her paws. Finally, the time came for her to give birth. She gave birth to three pups, but only one survived. They named him Somnio, which means dream, because he was their dream. The other pups were buried, and mourned over, but Dahlia and Thanatos were just so happy to have one pup; they didn't want to seem ungrateful. Somnio was smothered with love and affection by his parents, and they gave him everything he could possibly want. When he was weened, his parents went back to their duties and trained him in the ways of the hunter. He was doing well for being so young, and they couldn't have been prouder.

It was when he was six months old that it happened. His parents went out in a hunting party with one other wolf. Normally the party would have been larger, but it was winter and the pack was run thin. He'll never forget how the other wolf stumbled back, covered in blood. Apparently a bear had attacked the three of them over a deer they'd taken down. Dahlia and Thanatos had sent him back to get help. The pack rallied, ordering Somnio to stay. He was too young to fight. But by the time the pack made it, it was too late. His parents had been torn limb from limb, and the bear was gone. Eventually it would be driven out of the lands, but that didn't ease Somnio's suffering. He had no other family. No siblings, no aunts or uncles. Nowhere to turn.

It was then that he started staying by himself more. It wasn't that he didn't care, he just didn't know how to deal with it.
