Ivichi

Jetta (Biological Father, NPC)

## Application Sheet

Ivichi was a dark-brown wolf with brown eyes. He spent some time in Dawnguard, but when the pack merged into Heylguard, he took his charge Shoshana with him to Chandor, where he served as a Gamma Cousin until he left the Domain. He was created and RP'd by Spicerooni.

## Personality

* ***Perpetually Gay; Positive and Happy Always.*** Right off the bat, even just at a first glance, the first word that comes to mind when one meets Ivichi is just plain 'gay'. However not necessarily that he is homosexual, but just bursting at the seams with quiet positivity. Just being around him will either put you in a unusually comfortable mood or make you squeamishly uncomfortable, depending on social preference. He's seemingly never upset about anything and it's as if he physically can't be upset. He's just in love with everyone and everything all day every day.
* ***Calm, Mellow, and Laid Back.*** Normally there's two types of 'happy' - the loud, energy-sapping happy and then the content-with-life, quiet happy. Ivichi fits the latter. Even with every step he takes its as if he's just perpetually comfortable in his own skin, something that's rather uncommon. He can often be found lounging around with a dreamy expression or comfortably rolling around in patches of soft grass or flowers. He has a slight obsession with brightly colored objects and flowers, which makes one question his sexual preference in the long run but he doesn't dabble too much in relationships. His sexual preference is a mystery even to him.
* ***Hopeless Romantic; Cheesy; Bashful.*** Going deeper into his content trait, he is most definitely a lover and not a fighter. He sees the beauty and grace in everything, and his emotions primarily rule over his actions and decisions. He feels real love and sorrow for those around him, even if they don't exactly deserve it. He fantasizes often about fairy tales of love and faraway lands, which makes him pretty great at story telling. He can get pretty sheepish and bashful if complimented or starts to notice a budding relationship among his friends. It's almost as if he were the one falling in love, and most of the time he loves the idea of relationships more than the actual ones who are in a relationship. He definitely cries a lot over silly things and is extremely sensitive to words.
* **Gullible, Trusting, and Naive.** While Ivichi is an overall big ball of passion, he is subject to fall for just about anything he hears almost too easily. He puts way too much faith and trust in those who do not deserve it, even as far as trusting a complete stranger with something extremely precious. This also makes him incredibly unreliable if someone needed him to keep a secret. Just flashing a pretty smile his way will make him crack faster than a bolt of lighting in a thunderstorm.  The only thing that keeps him from completely blabbering everything he knows about everyone is his respect for authority and his loyalty to his friends. Once he's been given a job he sticks to it, regardless if it means telling somebody no, much to his dismay.
* **Well-mannered, Polite, and Courteous.** Complimenting his primary calm and positive traits, Ivichi is very well mannered and polite about everything he does. Whether it be eating conservatively or making sure everything he does is neat and precise, you can be sure to trust that Ivichi will do a good job with whatever he's tasked with (except for keeping secrets). He makes a point at complimenting others on a regular basis, spreading his good energy to those around him and can be very generous to those who seek his help or opinion.

## Pre-Group History

Ivichi's story is hardly anything but what it is; a chronicle of events. He didn't experience any hardships or suffering that carved him out to be who he is today. He grew up in a very blessed situation and doesn't take it for granted.

Ivichi's birth pack was very loose in terms of culture and tradition. There were no rules or regulations others had to abide by, in fact the members of the pack just sort of 'existed' together and lived as a group of friends who functioned like one big adoptive family. And as every family functions, there's always the head of the family who generally oversees everything, which in this case was the eldest male in the bunch. Ivichi's parents, two females actually, needed aid in conceiving Ivichi for obvious reasons. Luckily for them the head male was a longtime friend of the pair and had no problems providing such aid. Ivichi knew about his biological father and the given situation of his family, but that didn't make him love his moms any less. They raised him to be sensible, sensitive, and independent. And most importantly, the value of love. In turn he grew into the pride and joy of their lives.

Because the pack had no actual structure, wolves could come and go as they pleased and they didn't really have a firm grasp on an actual territory claim. Often times they moved from one location to the next to try and avoid hostile environments as much as possible. Sometimes it would be easy relocating and settling in, while other times it would prove to be more difficult trying to feed that many wolves and fending off other aggressive wolves who tried to tear the family apart from the inside. It was easy to become separated during situations like this, and that's exactly what happened to Ivichi. During a rather unfortunate move, one that was incredibly last minute and nonetheless in the middle of the first rains of Spring, he lost their tracks and scent trails to the flooding. But instead of brooding in misery over the separation, he took it and accepted it almost instantly as a sign that it was time for him to move on and find his own place. He knew he would have been happy either way with his mothers and their traveling friends, but it was better for him this way.

It wasn't even a few days after the separation when a strong scent marker nearly knocked him on his rump. The idea of a secure territory was so new to him, it made him feel a glimmer of hope that maybe trying out his luck in a pack that had a definite system might be the change he was needing. It wasn't long until one of the wolves that was apart of the pack came across him loitering around in a field, and introduced herself as Ylva Nahi, the leader of the Dawnguard. He was then taken into the Duskguard upon showing interest in the pack's culture and his mutual respect for one of Dawnguard's most precious landmarks.

## Group History

His days spent as a Duskguardian seemed to fly by as Ivichi grew more accustomed to Dawnguardian customs. It came as no surprise when he quickly passed all of the necessary tests to be eligible to join the ranks of Dawnguard, and once he had, he chose to begin learning the ways of a Luperca.

Almost immediately after he was welcomed as a true member, he was blessed with a grand reunion with a young female puppy he once knew as a child back in his birth pack, and started to feel more like he had a purpose now that he had a task and Shoshana was back, now in his care. He began to meet and interact with other wolves, like Asterion and Samhradh of Dawnguard, and Kaiser the loner.

But just as quickly as he had found his new home, change was already beginning to creep into his seemingly stable lifestyle. One day, Ylva Nahi announced her union with a neighboring pack's alpha named Fitu, and that both Dawnguard and Heyl would be merging together to form a new pack upon their official mating.

The very idea of moving again discouraged Ivichi, for it made him feel like Dawnguard wasn't meant to be his home if it meant they would be moving around again just like his old pack. He wanted stability. So during the middle of the night, he consulted Shoshana with a secret plan to leave Dawnguard to search for a new, more stable home. But Ivichi however made a huge mistake in that he chose not to inform Ylva Nahi of their departure of the pack, which was vital rule in the laws of Dawnguard.

During the morning of their departure, they were attacked and chased by a massive grizzly bear, which both Ivichi and Shoshana believed to be the angry spirit of Onatah, cursing the two heathens for abandoning their pack and breaking the law. It was many days of sleepless travel southeast until finally they found the borders of Chandor, where both were accepted into the pack at first as weary travelers, and then later on it's newest members.

After getting used to the ways of Chandor, Ivichi chose to train under the ways of a Cousin after being inspired by one of Chandor's very own beta Cousins, Impala. He lingered at the borders more often than he should have, hoping to see Kaiser again - maybe someone to love? - but he never saw the loner again.

He spent some time in Chandor with Shoshana, grateful beyond words for Nadia's kindness and hospitality, but vanished one day without a trace. Shoshana missed him, and eventually, she, too, left the pack (though her paws were set towards Aryn). In the end, Ivichi vanished from the Domain, and was never seen again.

## Trivia

* He and Shoshana came from the same birth pack.
* His voice is extremely high, it's very unlikely it'll get any lower than what it is. He's often mistaken for a female or a very young male.
* The nick in his left ear is to symbolize the tradition of marking first time trespassers in Dawnguard. He chose to stay after being marked, but left upon learning of Dawnguard's merge with Heyl.
* The flowers in Ivichi's crown are hibiscuses, which bloom all year round.

## Quotes

* "Nothing wrong with being outside the norm. I was raised in a place where gender wasn't really anything but a way to have children. I guess that's why I take so much after my moms." (in response to Asterion's stereotypical views, *A Brief Dinner Conversation*)
