Gaius

Corrin (Sister)

## Application Sheet

Gaius was a shaggy, dark gray male wolf with burning orange, heavily-lidded eyes. He is the son of Rutnik and Tayen, loyal Fellfang wolves, and brother to Corrin. He was ranked as a Delta Sage, training under Petra until he and his family left the Domain. He was designed by boogiepaw (with some edits by ipann), and created and RP'd by ipann.

## Personality

* ***Compassionate, Charismatic, and Loyal.*** Gaius has grown greatly since his youth. Instead of being the brat he once was, the last seasons change and of course Sage training has opened him up into the wolf he was meant to be. He is aloof and sentimental. His words seem cryptic at times and he believes he sees prophecies and omens in all things. He tends to sound a little pompous as Gaius is sure his connection to the other world makes him better than others and ensures him of his absolute righteousness. After all, his mother says she sees spirits and his father is the great Thane. Gaius is sure he is meant to help Fellfang and be a bridge to the Spirits for his people. The young wolf comes off as charismatic for his kind and cool personality. He doesn't allow his emotions to effect his stature despite being pushed to. Gaius shows great compassion and concern for others and will stop at nothing to protect the ones he loves and his Skuld. His loyalty is unfaltering and his life in Fellfang feels like the path he was meant to follow from birth.
* ***Religious, Mature, and Intelligent.*** As a child Gaius wanted nothing more than to be a Sage. He takes quite the pride in being a Sage and proud voice for the Skuld's religion. Once he became old enough he even sought out Petra and requested to be her apprentice. Since then Gaius has devoted himself to the studies of a Sage and the past of Fellfang. He believes he has a deep connection to the Spirits and to their religion. His mother had a head injury causing her to become deaf, but also see hallucinations of ghost and other worldly beings. Gaius believes deep in his heart that his mother is a prophet and can see into the afterlife. Because of this Gaius believes he is a child of a prophet and prays he too will see to the other side. Gaius is very mature and understands adult things and accepts them. His childish behavior died early and he has become a bit more stoic than he was before.
* ***Stubborn, Aloof, and Arrogant.*** Though the young Gaius is kind and gentle; loyal and smart; he also is stubborn much like his mother. When Gaius sets his mind on something it's hard to change his mind. It will take a lawyer type to really debate with Gaius and if the subject is about his religion, he is very defensive and hostile to those who question it or him. He tends to be a lazy type despite this. He always seems to confident and sure of himself, but the young wolf likes to lounge around and act as though he knows everything. As a scholar he sees himself as an intellectual but he mostly comes off as a jerk assuming others don't know what he's talking about.

## Pre-Group History

Two strangers met in the woods one day. One was a handsome wolf of a great pack of Fellfang. The other - a gentle and deaf lady of grace. From that day on, neither of them would think their futures were so intertwined. Both went through their troubles, but in the end, the two ended up together. Tayen had fallen madly in love with the great Thane of Fellfang. It took many moons for the deaf she-wolf to feel welcome and apart of the Skuld. It was thanks to the kind wolves Tayen met that helped her grow into pack life- a life she wasn’t sure she would ever be apart of again. But not all was peaceful. A strange Spirit joined Fellfang and spoke of sickness into the ears of the Jarl. Tayen could tell this being to be a Spirit of ill will, and together, the Skuld removed the vixen demon from Fable’s mind, releasing him from her spider web of lies. The end of this dark era was soon to be behind them- Rutnik decided to expressed his desire to marry Tayen when the ordeal was done. Tayen welcomed the proposal. Though the rest of the pack were not aware, to the two lovers, it was official already for them. Before the rebellion against the demon Spirit, Tayen and Rutnik shared a passionate night in fear of the coming days of Fellfang. At least they had each other.

When the vixen witch was plucked off of Fable like a ripe tick that is when Fellfang began to heal. Polaris was pregnant and Fable had began to return to his old self, and it seemed peace had found them all once again. Until Tayen noticed a constant pain and sickness recurring daily. Worried for his mate, Rutnik pressured her to see the great Aldinwitch to ensure her health. In hopes of easing his mind, Tayen agreed. However she was not prepared for the new she heard. After a in depth check up, the grey wolf was surprised to inform Tayen she was already over a month pregnant and would be due soon! Tayen had never really been around pups before- nor did she really know how to be a mother. She rushed to her mate and told him. Though both were terrified of this- they were also thrilled. They built their nest together, preparing a comfortable place for the family to be together and raise their pups. Tayen attempted to hunt for herself as she did not swell leading most to believe she would have a single pup or two, Rutnik was sure to remind his mate she should not be so reckless. Reluctantly, Tayen went to bed rest. Though restless, Tayen followed her mate’s worried advice and he would constantly shower her in love and admiration - and of course a rabbit for dinner.

And only a good week or so time after the Jarl’s children were born, Tayen gave birth to two small bundles of fur. She couldn’t believe how beautiful and small they were. And the sight brought Rutnik and Tayen both to tears and embraces. The first born was a male pup who looked much like Tayen. He had the same colors as his dark furred mother but markings that resembled Rutnik The two decided on the name, Gaius. The second born was a beautiful golden pup. Tayen felt tears well up and she spoke, “She is like a child of Koma herself.” the new mother breathed. They agreed on the name of Corrin wanting their golden daughter to share part of the great Entity's name with the 'Ko' sound.

## Group History

Gaius was raised with much love by his mother and father, and he and Corrin were close (though, like any brother, he could be a bit of a bother to her!). Being so close in age to Fable and Polaris's children, he formed a strong friendship with Saga, and he grew to greatly admire Yael, Asteria, and Lincoln.

When he came of age, he became apprenticed under Petra. Gaius admired Petra above all other wolves in the pack, awed by her connection to the Spirit World and her knowledge (and place) in the history of Fellfang. She was the one who gave him the nickname of "Little Sparrow."

Gaius worked very hard at his task, but he and his family felt as though they could not remain in Fellfang. And so, after training for a short time, he joined his family on their journey away from the Skuld, and into the mystery beyond the Domain, the four of them together.

## Trivia

* Gaius has some daddy issues, believing Rutnik would rather him be a Vanguard than a Sage.
