## Application Sheet

Ronan was a large brown wolf with red and black markings and yellow eyes. Formerly of Morrow, he moved to Blutwald, where he served as a Delta Guard. He is listed as deceased on his application sheet, but the cause of his death is unknown. He was created and RP'd by tisea.

## Personality

* ***Genuine and Blunt.*** Everything Ronan does is genuine. He doesn't have secret motives and he doesn't try to trick those around him. He's a to-the-point kind of guy, often coming off blunt or harsh. He speaks like a child, his words innocent enough even if they don't come off that way.
* ***Hopeless Romantic.*** Ro' is a sucker for pretty eyes and any form of 'damsel in distress'. He'll drop anything he's doing for a female who's sweet enough to ask.
* ***Loyal***. He's loyal to a fault. Always believing in those around him with unwavering faith and never thinking someone may have ill intent towards him.
* ***Prone to Mood Swings.*** Like a victim of PTS he's prone to outbursts and mood swings. It isn't 100% what triggers it, but the outburst is normally after a drastic shift of mood due to those around him or his environment.
* ***Easily Confused.*** A product of his head trauma, the confusion sets in often and sometimes is the cause of a mood swing. If the confusion is strong enough and isn't dealt with immediately it often leads to an outburst of aggression or depression.
* ***Aggressive.*** During one of his mood swings he's prone to fits of aggression and rage. They are far and few between however still a real looming threat. He doesn't remember anything from one of his fits and is often left in a state of delirium following one.

## Pre-Group History

Ronan was born to a pack far away that's sole belief was in loyalty, honor, and war. The pack was settled in a piece of land that knew only war. War for territory, war for food, and war for flesh. He was the oldest son of the second litter to the Beta's, with no real title, and the future of a warrior already laid out for him. At a young age he was tasked with the responsibility of taking care of his litter-mates. As he grew that task extended to the rest of the pack as well, not just his own immediate family. This laid down a firm foundation of love for his family and pack.

As early as possible his training in the art of war had begun. He was taught not only to fight and protect himself, but to defend and use mediation before violence. He was taught that just because he could destroy easily, did not mean that he should. They were rough and merciless lessons for the Alpha did not want someone who could not obey in his Guard, but he also did not want someone who followed blindly and without thought.

When the time came Ronan became a Warrior for his pack. He was put at the front lines of battles and his abilities were known throughout the neighboring packs. Not just his ability to use his size and brute strength in the art of combat, but his ability to out-think as well as mediate any situation that didn't need to resort to violence. He was a delegate, he was a warrior, he was a son, and he was a friend. A valued member of the pack, Ronan was everything a Warrior should be.

Then came the day a meeting for peace went wrong. The enemy pack did not want peace and in the middle of negotiations, Ronan was taking by surprise and thrown over a ravine and down onto the rocks below. Thought dead, the enemy pack left him for the rest of his pack to heave out of the ravine. When they did, it took almost five days for him to regain consciousness. What they found left all devastated.

The head trauma that he sustained was too much and though he had no scars to show his battle wounds, it left him wounded for many moons to come. He couldn't retain most of his long term memory and his short term memory was shot. The confusion of not knowing would send him into violent fits of rage, either ending in his forcible restraint or by luck with gentle reasoning. It began to be too much and after almost a year of this; he was asked to leave. The pack had no room for the weak.

Ronan left with no bitterness towards his family. He understood that he was a liability in their world. So he set off on his own, working each time he rested to remember, to store information and to focus his mind. He has glimpses now and then of his past, of a life he can't quite grasp the meaning of, but for the most part he couldn't tell you his own parents names. His fits of rage have lessened greatly, but they're still there, hiding in wait like a little angle of chaos on his shoulder.

## Group History

Roran settled in Morrow for a time, but this new place would not be able to house him long. Despite rising in the ranks to become a Delta Guard, all was for naught when the alpha, Howl, contracted rabies and was killed as a result. With the disbanding of the pack after the alpha's death, Ronan set out to find his new place in the world. He ended up following the few friends he had made in Morrow, Gypsee and Caidan, to a new pack: Blutwald. He hoped, here, he could make more friends and make a name for himself, serving his pack.

Fortunately, Stallion was more than welcoming, offering him a place as a Guard in Blutwald. Eagerly, he accepted the offer. While living in Blutwald, Ronan met several wolves who he would speak to, including Ocala and Thea (who he was enraptured by). Thea would die saving two pups - Ramona and Delsin - from a bear, and Ronan never got the chance to tell her that he loved her. After this, unfortunately, his story seems to end. It is unknown what became of Ronan, though tisea lists him as deceased, the cause of his death is unknown.

## Trivia

* He's not stupid, just a little slow, all in all he's a big teddy bear who just needs someone to help him now and then with a kind word or a little guidance.
* His personality fluctuates with his moods but over all the male is a kind, quiet and somewhat shy individual. He cares about those around him though he isn't good at showing it, often getting frustrated in his communication gap. Due to his head trauma at an earlier age he's easy to anger – that anger normally stemming from confusion or an overzealous need to protect those around him. Ronan is very soft spoken, his voice deep and guttural, his words always picked carefully as if he didn't know the right words to use.
* Thea and Ronan intended to become mates, but her early and unexpected death caused this plan to fall through. Ronan grieved the loss of his love.
