## Application Sheet

Athens was a brown-furred male wolf with turquoise-blue eyes. He was born in Aryn, in the midst of the Hive Wars, to the pack's head Coursers, Hani and Lawson. She had three littermates - Cage, Beatrice, and Altaeya - as well as older siblings Harley, Lidya, Seava, and Yamarashi. His story is ongoing. Athens was designed by Aerial-Vew, and created and RP'd by switt.

## Personality

* ***Nervous**.* He's anxious, paranoid, and a bit of a hypochondriac. With very little social interaction in the early days, he doesn't really like interacting with anyone outside the family, but even that can be taxing. His sisters are crazy.
* ***Family-Oriented.*** That being said, as is a common trait in this family and Aryn, he is extremely close with his family and siblings. Well, probably with his brothers more than his sisters... Athens will find any opportunity he can to tag along with Yama, Harley, and Lidya. Athens finds Yama and Harley's quiet nature comforting compared to the craziness of Beatrice and Altaeya. Plus he likes listening to Yama talk about all the different rocks. For Lidya, due to his health complications as a pup, he spent a lot of time with her. It also sparked his later interest into becoming a Vicar. With his littermates, his favorite is without a doubt Cage. It's not a secret. Everyone knows.
* ***Narcissistic.*** Born into a famous family known for their speed, strength, and size, Athens possesses none of those. He is miles behind everyone in terms of physical attributes and he's quite aware of it. Not only that, he's built funny. He has big paws, long legs, a slim figure, but with his father's height. It will be quite some time before he grows into his body and even then, who's to say he'll ever be considered graceful. Not only that, he has loose strands of fur that stick out despite his best efforts that become more unruly as he ages. Even as a pup, he has a borderline obsession with his appearance and is constantly comparing himself to just about everyone.
* ***Soft-Spoken.*** Athens may have a lot to say, but it's rarely said out loud. It's also hard to get a word in with the rowdy siblings he was born with. He learned quickly it's better to keep things to himself rather than stir the pot with his opinions. However, keeping things bottled up only lasts for so long, so he is prone to sudden outbursts, though they are far and few between. However, he has mastered the art of the side eye.
* ***Fussy**.* He's a bit obsessive and has a hard time letting things go. This could be something someone said or an event - sooner or later, he'll bring it up, especially if he feels he was wronged in some way. Athens is very good at holding a grudge for a very long time. Honestly, he's an old man trapped in a baby's body.
* ***Inquisitive**.* Having spent a better part of his puphood in the Vicar den, Athens became curious about the herbs being given to him and Hani while they recovered. How fascinating is it that plants could possess such powers? Or the fact that different combinations produce different results? He also loves to listen to the different hunting strategies his parents implement, different fighting techniques from Wardens, or the best paths for scouting from Rangers. It's not uncommon to see the young wolf on the outskirts of the densite, ears constantly swiveling.

## Pre-Group History

Hani and Lawson had tried years ago for another litter but when they were unsuccessful, the two accepted their fate. Thus, being pregnant was the furthest thing from Hani's mind. What should have been joyous news instead brought doubt and concern, as well as the harsh reality of the situation. Hani's health had been in the decline for weeks before the news, not to mention food was scarce due to the Hive's constant encroachment into Aryn's land.

The birth had been quite an ordeal on Hani. Athens came some time later after his other siblings, considerably smaller and weaker. It was touch-and-go for a few days before the little pup pulled through.

## Group History

Athens spent a great deal of his puphood in the Vicars' den with his sister Lidya, who was the one responsible for his medical care as the highest-ranking Vicar. Though his health was touch-and-go, he would eventually grow strong enough to not be considered constantly-at-risk-of-death.

He'd just reached young adulthood when the Hive attacked Aryn's densite.

Lidya immediately took him and ran to safety, after they got separated from the other Vicars. Athens obeyed his sister's every order, sticking right by her side as the two fled to reach safety. Fortunately, they both made it through the battle.

## Trivia

* Athens is the youngest of all the Lawni children.
* Continuing with the tradition, Athens got his name from his parents' dear friend and former Lady, Athena. He considers it a great honor to be named after her.
* Probably the best sleeper in the family. He goes to bed early and wakes up late.
* Hates the cold. He loves the summer; lying in the sun is the best place to take a nap.
* He holds some odd grudge against Altaeya, pretty much since birth. Lawson used to joke Taeya stole all the food from him in the womb and Athens believes it.
