## Application Sheet

Golan was an albino male wolf with white fur and glowing scarlet eyes. He was born in the midst of the Hive Wars to two of Vektren's highest ranking wolves, Lady Divine Helh and Lord Nightmare Damon, alongside a single sister, Sin. He was a ghostly background presence in Vektren until he disappeared from the pack, his fate unknown. Golan was created and RP'd by SpookyWonders.

## Personality

* ***Brooding, Quiet, and Aloof - but Inwardly Kind-Hearted.*** On surface level, Golan is just a broody pup for reasons many cannot understand given his family’s jubilant personalities. However, he does possess a gentle heart towards those he holds dear, the one who created such a spot being his mother. He tries to do his best to live up to this blessed role because of her, he wants to make her proud and finds she understands him the most out of anyone. Which is why even though he acts as if he is disinterested in everything, it’s because he doesn’t believe he’s good enough. Although he would never outwardly admit or act on such thoughts, many times he feels his sister would have held this title better.
* ***Passive-Aggressive, Irritable, and Serious.*** Given his silent demeanor almost reminiscent of his father, Golan comes across as passive aggressive many times. While his expression remains disinterested his hard gaze and limited words makes him seem stone cold and distant. Truthfully, he is just a very serious character even as a pup. In contrast to his family, he doesn’t like goofing around or playing pranks, he finds them highly irritating. He isn’t one to scheme or build a facade to make others think he likes them. Golan is very much a blunt child in that regard, if he doesn’t like you, you’ll know. He has this idea that everyone knows what he is feeling just from his looks so he doesn’t have to verbally voice it. Which in many cases is the problem when trying to communicate with others. Especially considering he is easily irritated and will often walk away if he feels like he’s done with the conversation.
* ***Judgmental, Highly Perceptive, and Low-Spirited.*** Like his sister, Golan is judgmental of others and often finds that's where he bonds with Sin the most. Unless he is the one she is judging. His judgmental nature comes from his skill at analyzing others. Given that he prefers to observe instead of interact, he is good at understanding things or figuring them out. Which is why he assumes many can do the same with him given how easily he expresses his irritation. Although he knows some, like his sister knows this and chooses to bother him on an annoying level. If Golan was honest, he isn’t as disinterested as he seems and takes importance to any tasks he’s doing. He is exceptionally well at getting a job done but he will refuse to put any unnecessary energy into something he feels doesn’t need it.
* ***Practical.*** Coming from a devoted background, Golan is unnaturally focused on the idea of actually doing or using something rather than leaving it to theories or ideas. That isn’t to say he doesn’t believe in Vektren’s gods, he actually holds a strong connection to them in many ways akin to his mother. He just prefers to ignore that connection given how much his sisters excels at everything while he falls short. Sometimes he thinks he’s some sort of punishment…

## Pre-Group History

Born of the divine union between the Lord Nightmare and Lady Divine, Golan and his sister Sin come during a time of war. Blissfully ignorant to the crisis that is spreading and the battles that are raging across the domain….

Their birth came to be, after their father had established a debt to the Gods, filling the Lord Nightmare with fear for those he holds dear. Leading him to venture to the Lady Divine one fateful night as her connection to the Gods proved to be actually what he needed.

Hearing from the Gods, Helh is able to discover what Damon needs to do in order to satisfy their needs and pay a long owed debt. Which is allowing them control over him as their vessel for one night. Trusting Helh above all, Damon accepts this form of payment and allows the Gods use over him. However, what he soon came to realize was that the Gods wanted more than just a simple heart to pay for his family's damage. They wanted something far more valuable: new blood. Not just any blood, children holding a divine birth to serve a purpose that soon awaits them.

## Group History

After he left his mother's side, eyes and ears open to the world, he became acquainted with packmates. One of these packmates was Judith, who (rather rudely) asked him if he was *positive* Lord Nightmare Damon was his father. Golan assured her, in his monotone, no-nonsense way, that yes, he was the child of Damon. Judith was skeptical - the two were *so* different!

Growing up, Golan decided not to take a task - after all, it was the midst of the war, and he would go where he was needed. Though, to be honest, he wasn't terribly interested in participating in battle to begin with. He fought for his pack despite his disinterest in combat, considering his enemies "Pathetic."

As a child, Golan was easily irritated by his father. As a young adult, he found Damon to be *utterly exhausting.* He left the Nest to escape his father's seemingly permanent presence (after having a rather tense conversation between father and son), and ran into Aralynn, who'd also had a rather negative interaction with Damon. The two vented to one another about their respective problems with the Lord Nightmare.

Once the Hive Wars had concluded, Golan found himself putting more and more distance between himself and his packmates - and his family. He found comfort in isolation, and knew that the more time he spent at the Nest, the more his father would push him away...and the more he would be expected to take a task. He wasn't ready or willing to take a task, though, and put it off as long as he could.

Ultimately, it seemed he decided to leave.

Golan vanished one day in summer, shortly before Damon, too, vanished. Perhaps Golan had run away, with Damon going after him, or perhaps something more sinister was afoot. In any case, the pale ghost of Vektren disappeared and has never been seen again, and nobody knows if he lives or walks among the spirits now.

## Trivia

* A subtle sideways glance is a good way to tell when Golan is irritated.
* Golan absolutely hates nicknames and will always correct someone with his full name if they refer to him in such a way. Unless you are his direct family, then he knows that’s a lost cause, however, he secretly likes his mother’s nickname because it makes him feel special.
