## Application Sheet

He died fighting a bear, sacrificing himself to save his mate and unborn children, finally at peace with his religion. He was created and RP'd by ipann.

## Personality

* ***Big-Headed.*** Quidel is a thick headed guy. When it comes to being persuaded from his own opinion- its half near impossible. Quidel also thinks pretty highly of himself, he knows he is a pretty powerful wolf and built to kill and isn't afraid to show that off. For Quidel, his greatest dreams are to become an extremely feared and powerful leader, one that pups will awe and yet shake in fear at. He knows that is what the spirits have decided for him, soon his time will come to show the world what he is made of and what he has to offer. He is loyal all the same to Havir and the gods they believe in. He knows to not break the rules, but he also knows that the gods want him to be someone.
* ***Aggressive.*** This guy isn't really nice. I'm sorry to say, but if you come around this guy, he often sees you as a threat, if he isn't to lazy to care that is. Most of the time, Quidel doesn't give a shit who you are, you are no friend, you are only foe unless proven otherwise. His aggressive and quick tempered nature often chases away others- and should be taken with a grain of salt. He isn't a "Bad guy" I would say, he's just got a mixed up perspective of others and how a pack's relationship should be.
* ***Aloof.*** A nice way of saying how this guy acts is aloof- but honestly he's a lazy bum! He wont do a thing unless he feels like he wants to. When it comes to hunting, trying to tell Quidel what to do is like trying to pull a lion through a ring of fire with some thread.- in other words, really difficult. His laid back nature is sometimes admired by some, although not usually. He honestly avoids working and group efforts. He's also not a very good looser and an even worse team player. But once you get to know him, he isn't ALL bad, just 99.9% of the time.
* ***Grumpy.*** Does this guy ever stop his complaining!? HARDLY! Quidel finds something to complain about in every situation, poking and pulling at other's strings just to cause a fight. Quidel also dislikes pups and younger wolves, heck, if you look at him wrong he will most likely glare daggers into you or stomp over and demand you to fight him. Some say the reason Quidel is like this is because he lost his mate a year ago and has never really recovered from it. If you mention her name, the dark wolf often gets very savage and might even attack you! In a way, her name is a trigger word for him.
* ***Depressed.*** Long ago, Quidel wasn't so sad. He actually was a very happy and loving wolf. Of course he was still lazy and often quick tempered, he still have a heart that was easy to love. But since the death of Nova, his old mate. Now you can find the wolf sleeping or moping about. Avoiding places and things that remind him of her, Quidel if often seen laying about on his own. He dislikes the company of most- but if you are really willing to help patch this guy up, being his friend is easy.

## Pre-Group History

Quidel was born into the Havir pack years ago, to a young she-wolf named Anevay, and her much older betrothed mate, Hakan.

Originally he was betrothed to Malika, another female in Havir pack, but through the years of pushing and pushing, both wolves just ended up getting fed up with one another. They didn't love one another, and hardly got along. Most of the time Malika and Quidel would argue and sometimes even tussle out of frustration, so eventually, both of Malika's and Quidel's parents broke off the future engagement. Even so, the two still bicker.

On his third-and-a-half year, Quidel met his future sweetheart, Nova, a loner she-wolf found around Havir territory. It was a chance meeting and at first, Quidel almost had his fur ripped off by the aggressive she-wolf, but the two ended up getting caught in a blizzard and had to retreat into the safety of a cave for the night. Over that time the two got to know one another and grew to easily have feelings for one another. Quidel found himself escaping Havir whenever he could just to meet up with Nova. It was a beautiful relationship for a while, until he turned 4 years old, an official adult and found out that his sweetheart, not even official mate yet, told him of her pregnancy. It wasn't viewed highly to mate with a loner let alone one who didn't believe in the their gods, so Quidel was about to give up his life in Havir for her when he was told by a patrol the next day that they found a dead she-wolf lingering around Havir territory, said to have been attacked by a bear and was disemboweled. Quidel quickly ran to find Nova only to meet with her deceased body. The male after that was never quite the same.

Today, he remains loyal to his pack, vowing to never love and to never question the gods, for it was they who killed Nova. They knew Quidel was leaving his pack for her and saw what sin he would commit, he knew that it was his fault that her death had occurred and he would never forgive himself.

## Group History

Quidel went to Saurugol and told him of his transgressions, meeting with Nova, their pregnancy, and how the gods had taken her as punishment for his actions. Saurugol was willing to offer forgiveness to Quidel, assuring the dark male that the only punishment he would receive was that his packmates would know of his transgression, and he would have to earn their trust again. Quidel thanked Saurugol and the gods that he was able to remain in Havir.

Quidel earned his packmates' trust again, though. He helped Aphrodi with his first big game hunt, for instance.

One day, he and Malika were down by the seashore, and they had a heart-to-heart. Malika accused him of hating her for having pups with Saurugol (he didn't) and he thought she hated him for running off with Nova. Ultimately, however, the pair revealed that they still had feelings for one another - even though their relationship had been badly strained for so long. They admitted that they loved one another, but were not yet ready to become mates.

The pair were not together for long when Malika, and a few other Havirian females, were stolen by a band of loner brothers. Quidel had been shattered, and feared her dead - the news she'd just been kidnapped was the most wonderful news he had heard in a long time. He was eager to help get her and the other females back. He was assigned by Saurugol to keep an eye on Tadashi - who had been a part of the loner band - and to kill him if he was leading the Havirians into a trap. Fortunately, it was not a trap, and Quidel didn't have to kill him.

In the aftermath of the kidnapping, Quidel decided he wanted to ask Malika to be his mate. He approached her and asked if she was willing, and she told him yes. They went to Saurugol for permission, and it wasn't long before the pair were expecting pups.

He would never have the chance to meet his pups.

He and Malika were attacked by a bear, and Quidel - determined for Malika not to meet the same fate as his beloved Nova, for her to *not* pay for his sins as she had - sacrificed himself to kill the bear and save Malika's life. He died knowing that he had done the right thing, that the gods would welcome him to paradise, and there, he would see Malika again.

## Quotes

* "With this food, I symbolize my ability to feed you. With my body, I symbolize my ability to protect you. With this heart...I symbolize my ability to love you unconditionally. Malika...I thought I lost you when you were taken...I thought I would lose the only thing that matters to me in this world. I never want to feel that way again.
