Averill

## Application Sheet

Averill was a dark-furred male wolf with dark, forest-green eyes. He was the brother to Caoimhe, though they were separated as children, finding themselves in different packs. A guilt-ridden Averill settled briefly in Chandor, before deciding to leave the Domain - and hopefully the memories that haunted him - behind. Averill was conceptualized and designed by Celtic-Barbarian, and RP'd by IraWolfeh.

## Personality

* ***Charming and Flexible, but Irrational and Cowardly.*** Humble, kind, easy on the eyes; these are all things that come to mind when you first encounter the young male. He gives the impression that he has no flaws, and in your desperation to find even one flaw he may possess, you’ll very quickly learn that appearances are deceiving. No matter how charming you may find him and how nice he may treat you, there is no way to tell what he really thinks of you. Any little misstep, no matter how minor or insignificant, can cause him to come up with outlandish conclusions as to your intentions with him, and he’ll be sure to be rid of you should he come to view you as a threat. His M.O. is to avoid any potential dangers or discomforts at all costs, no matter who he screws over to do so. Though he may be a cowardly escapist who is mainly out for himself, he doesn’t delight in being that way.

## Pre-Group History

*Because Averill's history has been lost, his history has been taken in part from Celtic-Barbarian's application for his sister, Caoimhe.*

Born to an unfortunate pair, Caoimhe and her brother Averill were the result in a breeding of unknowing, half siblings. They shared the same father, but not the same mother, and were raised separately from one another and unaware of each others presence until they met. This drove the parents apart, their mother and father rarely talked despite the small family remaining together.

Caoimhe was extremely out-going as a pup, she enjoyed exploring the world before her illness symptoms began to show. This was something her parents had been fearful of. Her hind legs muscles slowly began to decay, their strength over the first few months of her life had remained strong were now fading. Caoimhe constantly grew stick, feverish and fluish, having to be kept beside her mothers side while their father hunted. Averill seemed to be unaffected, other than his hearing was a bit patchy. *It grew worse as he aged, though, resulting in almost total hearing loss in one ear, and ringing in the other.*

But their father never returned. Their mother, growing in a mixture of concern and annoyance, started on a journey as such to locate him. The pups kept to their mothers side, due to Caoimhe's weak immune system they did have to stop for days at a time. But after a few months, they located their father.

But he was dead.

His body hung over a dried dead tree, the organs that remained, and not feasted on by ravens and crows and other creatures, hung out. His eyes gone, but it was him. His soft rustic coat in tatters, no smile, no laughter. Their mother was in a horror stricken state, before they were quickly surrounded by wolves. Their eyes lingered on the three, eyes hungry, teeth bared in sickening smiles. Caoimhe had no time to argue, as their mother pushed her and her brother beneath a fallen log and told them to run. With the aid of her brother, despite her protests, the duo ran. It was raining, the grumbling of the storm clouds above silenced their mothers screaming. But it still rang inside their brains.

She was gone. Their father was gone.

They were alone, but they had each other.. But how would they survive..

Something happened, Caoimhe struggles to remember but the weather had worsened, the storm growing more in rage and the rapids of the water were growing. Her and her brother tried to cross the rapids before someone.. something, no someone had knocked them in.

*From here, Averill's and Caoimhe's histories diverge, and how he ended up in Chandor is a mystery.*

## Group History

Averill's time in Chandor was relatively brief. He was haunted by the memories of the things he had seen - the brutal murder of his father, the loss of his mother and sister...those were things no wolf should ever have to witness. He'd hoped living with a pack would help him to overcome his nightmarish past, but ultimately, he decided that travel might be the best way to forget his past. And so, Averill departed Chandor, hoping for a brighter tomorrow.

## Trivia

* Averill has severe hearing loss in one ear, and ringing sounds in the other. He has a permanent limp due to being born with wonky legs, but they grew stronger as he aged. His legs are strong, though, he just limps.
* Caoimhe and Averill are the result of inbreeding. Their mother and father were half siblings, same father - different mothers. They never met until they were adults, they had no knowledge of them being related. This was only found out once Maya was expecting, this destroyed their relationship and their parents lived separately.
