Rasmus

Rasmus was a black-and-white feathered razorbill with dark eyes and a faintly visible blue iris. He served as the familiar and companion to Lokki of Fellfang. He left the pack after the Hive Wars, joining Lokki in his search for his missing mate, Primrose, and neither has been seen in the Domain since. Rasmus was created and RP'd by Strawberry-Tate.

## Personality

* ***Curious, Cheerful, Kind, and Sociable.*** Rasmus is very curious, cheerful, kind, sociable. A little possessive also with his family or those he loves. It's a very attentive bird who can see when someone is not well or not in a good mood. His intelligence allows him to understand everything around him, even when it's an animal of another species. He is curious and always wants to discover his environment, rarely feeling in danger. He doesn't hesitate to wander around Fellfang even though he's more used to living on the cliffs and rocks that line the northern ocean. He meets a lot of wolves but is not afraid of them, and likes to approach them to learn about their way of life. As he finds it difficult to integrate into his colony and the other razorbills do not interest him, he prefers to develop his intelligence by exploring the beaches and the forest nearby.
* ***Cautious, Jealous, and Afraid to be Close to Others.*** When Rasmus sees that an another animal is not dangerous for him, and does not risk being attacked or eaten, he may come in contact with this animal. It almost cost him his life several times because he is quite unconscious. He can nip or growl when a stranger get too close to someone he loves. Sometimes he prefers to be exclusive and can be jealous. He could have such behavior with a wolf if he becomes his friend, or with his companion if he were to find his (Razorbill) partner again. The fact of having lost his mate has affected him a lot and worsened his possessive behavior, because he is afraid of knowing again the abandonment or the loss of a loved one. He will quickly become a pot of glue, and follow the animals everywhere which will give him a little attention. He doesn't like loneliness, and having lost his companion has confused him a lot.

## Pre-Group History

Rasmus was born in a small Razorbills colony, near Old Fyrebringer. He grew up on a cliff, and lived in a mostly rocky environment. As he grew into an adult, he realized that he was not like the other birds of his species. He was not at all interested in them, and did not want to spend his time in the colony. Females didn't interest him at all, and he mostly wanted to spend time in the ocean for swimming and playing. The other Razorbills started to move away from him and he quickly found himself on the sidelines despite being very social. One morning, another male Razorbill joined him in the ocean, and they started collecting seashells together, and teaming up to catch fish. He quickly fell in love with this male, and got into a relationship to become his mate. After the winter, his companion confessed to him wanting to start a family with him. They started to build a nest not far from the colony. They started to see if young couples left their eggs and their nests. Razorbill pairs sometimes dropped eggs because they were too inexperienced to care for the entire clutch. When Rasmus may have found an egg for them upon seeing that a couple were thinking of abandoning their nest, his mate never returned from fishing. He waited for him hoping to be able to raise their first chick together. But as his companion did not return, Rasmus resolved to give up his search for an egg. He stayed on the beach waiting for his companion for weeks. That's how he saw Lokki enter in the ocean. The golden wolf couldn't swim and it immediately intrigued Rasmus. He decided to approach him to teach him how to swim, hoping to find comfort and not be left alone with is new friend.

## Group History

Rasmus would become fast friends with the friendly wolf, Lokki. He wasn't the only sea bird to befriend a Fellfangir, either - Cacao and Creg would sometimes hang out with the duo! Rasmus wanted to help Fellfang defend itself against the intruding Hive, and participated in several methods of protecting the island, including gathering up rotting fish for wolves to roll in to disguise their scent!

When Lokki and the other wolves went to fight against the Hive, in one of the intense battles that would make up the Hive Wars, Rasmus waited patiently with another familiar: Tadita's mouse, Clover. They watched forlornly as the wolves came back to Fellfang, but Lokki and Tadita weren't amongst them. He feared Lokki hadn't made it.

Fortunately, Lokki and Tadita would return - just trailing a bit behind the others on account of injuries. Rasmus was immensely relieved to see his companion and rushed to greet him.

When the wars reached their conclusion, Lokki wanted to leave the pack in order to search for his mate, Primrose. Rasmus, after so long not seeing his own mate, agreed to join his companion. Though they needed to travel along the rivers and coast, so Rasmus could catch fish, the duo were willing to stick together, through thick and thin, thenceforth.

Neither has been seen in the Domain since.

## Trivia

* He loves swimming more than anything and the ocean is one of his passions. He has fun catching seashells at the bottom of the sea and filling them on the beach with pebbles. He's obsessed with these treasures which he keeps for himself in his nest.
* His plumage color can change in winter to become lighter and white, like many Nordic animals.
* Rasmus cannot survive far from the Northern Ocean. That's why he can't follow Lokki when he gets away from the sea and Fellfang. He can wait for him for weeks on the beach.

## Quotes

* "Please, when you're out there for battle...don't be too reckless. Don't forget that I'm still here, and I'm waiting for you to come back..." (to Lokki, *Let Somebody Go*)
