Mutaias

## Application Sheet

Mutaias was a brown-and-white male wolf with a cottony, flowing mane of fur. He was a Sage in Riverfell, his birth-pack, until he decided to leave, shortly before his father, Jedrek, returned. He was created and RP'd by Aekaitz.

## Personality

Mutaias is nothing short of **quirky** and **eccentric**. In fact, his demeanor could be quite polarizing, charming for some, insufferable for others. This is because Mutt is **unabashedly himself**, stubbornly so, refusing to turn himself down to fit into smaller spaces like others might. His wild fur matches perfectly his **whimsical**, **electric** energy, an energy that is unmistakably his own.

Mutt is a very **loyal** and **honest** wolf and goes to great lengths to support his closest friends and Riverfell itself. He’s also a wolf who **keeps his word**, and if he makes some kind of promise to you, expect it to be kept no matter what. Not only that, but he is **strong-willed and stubborn**, and has been since he was a pup, if that was not obvious from his persistence in the face of his father’s disappointment. Mutt has a bad habit of being **far too trusting** of someone who outwardly appears to have good intentions. He is a **terrible judge of character** and not good at reading the red flags that are presented to him. He tries very hard to **see the good in others no matter what**, despite understanding the evil that exists in the world. This springs from a defense mechanism from his father, who he doesn’t want to believe is a bad guy, just makes bad choices.

Mutt has a **fantastic work ethic** and will find himself lost in his studies often, to the point of **hyperfocus**. Though his mind works very fast and he can often find himself **disorganised** in his daily life, when it comes to his task, he is somehow the opposite and **strives for absolute excellence**.

The cotton-furred wolf also has a **sensitive** side. He is incredibly **empathetic** and in-tune with the emotional changes of others. Despite how easily dissent seems to brush off of him, it does affect him quite a bit, and is quite **self-conscious** when left alone to his thoughts. He is also quite the **romantic**, and finds himself daydreaming of love more often than he’d admit to anyone. To his core, Mutt is sensitive, **emotional**, and hopelessly lost in the idea of love. Those who enter his inner circle are protected with his life, and it’s hard to sour his feelings about them. He can often be found sitting at the Lake of Stars and staring at the sky at night, **contemplating** and **daydreaming**.

Mutaias is a **valuable, outspoken ally**, but on the off chance you find yourself on his bad side, you are unlikely to find yourself forgiven. He is **hard to anger, but holds a grudge**, and will not hesitate to shut someone out completely if they’ve wronged him, his morals, or his allies.  He’s not afraid of problems thrown his way, and is **stubborn** and **steadfast** until the end.

## Pre-Group History

Born to the warrior Jedrek and a random fling, Mutaias was a part of Riverfell from the very beginning. Naturally, his father expected his sons to follow in his footsteps and grow to become revered Warriors, or Gold Feathers, and Mutt was no exception to this. In Jed’s eyes, Mutt was always “too soft” and “too feminine,” and no amount of roughhousing, forced training, and fear tactics were changing that.

Instead, Mutaias became interested in herbs, healing, and mythology. When he wasn’t engaging in his father’s “training,” he was sneaking off to observe the Sages and learn from them from afar. The discovery of this only further angered Jed, and his training veered further into borderline abuse.

As he entered his teenage years, he became tired of his father’s emotional and physical abuse and began fighting back. He wasn’t large enough to be a real threat to Jed, but as time passed he thought he could make his point. However, it appeared his own stubbornness came from his own father.

Countless verbal assaults, failed fights, and screaming matches later, Mutaias had decided he’d had enough. One final sweltering argument, Mutaias declared he’d be disowning Jedrek as his father and “emancipating” himself from his care, leading a life in Riverfell untainted by his father’s prejudice.

“Fine, you ungrateful little shit. You were a disappointment to my namesake, and our Alpha’s from the very start!”

The last words he’d heard spoken to him from Jedrek, followed by a swift smack across his face, leaving him with an ugly scar across his sharp jaw, before making it his point to avoid his father altogether, leading his own life in the pack.

Despite his troubles with his father, Mutt was far too enamored with his pack and loyal to his brethren to leave them behind. He decided to pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a Sage, taking up an apprenticeship with one of the most revered of the task. His skills were almost innate, and he was a natural. He learned about the many herbs of their lush territory and began running collection errands for his Master while hunting small game to keep himself sharp and strong.

He grew to be a strong, handsome young male, and though his name would always be connected with Jedrek, he learned to get past this and make his own new connections with his pack. He’d always be somewhat distrusting of larger males and father figures, but that was fading with time

Murder, betrayal, and discourse shook the very ground Riverfell stood on. Things were looking grim. Mutt was left wondering if he should prepare to leave, or stand strong and fight for his pack until the end.

There weren’t many in his bloodline he was proud or happy to be around, until the day that Shiloh returned. He was elated that she had returned to her homeland, and further overjoyed that she would be usurping the current rule and leading Riverfell into a new era. Though he could sense that Shiloh had an inherent mistrust in male wolves, he supported her with his whole heart, and hoped that she’d come to trust him as one of the only family members left that would stand by her side until the end.

Little did he know, that this would further stoke his father’s fury due to his distaste with the changes Shiloh had ushered in…
