## Application Sheet

Arash was a pale-furred wolf with a reddish head, tail, and markings along their back and silver eyes. They were born in Xassa, in the midst of the Hive Wars, to parents Majavis and Anshar, alongside siblings Soraya, Alkor, and Soheil. Their story is just beginning. Arash was created and RP'd by sea-lamprey.

## Personality

* ***Taciturn.*** Why speak full sentences when just one word will do? Arash is a strong advocate of never saying more than one needs to. More often than not, he chooses to say nothing at all.
* ***Direct**.* But when he does need to say something, he certainly doesn’t mince words…Arash has no patience for flowery language and needless embellishment.
* ***Reserved**.* This is a wolf who keeps their cards close to their chest at all times. Arash believes they must maintain a strong and unflinching image, for Xassa’s sake… Only around close family and friends will they allow themself to show their true feelings.
* ***Composed**.* With eyes unclouded by needless emotion, it is far easier to see to the heart of an issue. Arash is good at keeping a clear head in all but the most stressful situations.
* ***Arrogant**.* Arash takes perhaps…too much pride in his illustrious lineage. He can’t help but think he’s fundamentally better than other Xassans, as a scion of the Susa bloodline. He’s also quite vain about his appearance…
* ***Pitiless**.* You will find no mercy for rulebreakers or wickedness in Arash’s cold gaze. He doesn’t forget or forgive transgression. Perhaps because he grew up in the shadow of a great war, Arash is somewhat desensitized to the idea of wolven death — if someone does something evil, why shouldn’t they die for it?
* ***Devoted**.* Xassa and Xerxes are everything to Arash. There is nothing he loves more than his home and his culture, and he wholly believes in Xassa’s ideals. He also expects others to show the same loyalty…

## Pre-Group History

Xassa was a pack with a long and storied history going back through generations. But in the time when Arash and his littermates were conceived, the fate of the pack had never been more uncertain. Majavis’s own clan, the Oxus, had already been destroyed by the Hive — and now it felt like Anshar’s family could be next. Were these new pups hope for the future, or were they the last panicked gasp of a lineage doomed to death?

## Trivia

* About as inexpressive as a wolf can get, ever since puphood. Those that know him well will eventually learn to read his microexpressions, but to a stranger, figuring out what’s going on in Arash’s head can seem like an impossible task.
* Likes to stare at people and freak them out.
* Has a long memory, especially for slights against him and his family.
* They do have a mischievous and playful side! It’s just really hard to tell when they’re joking…
* While he’s most proud of the Susa side of his bloodline, he takes almost equal pride in the Oxus side of his family. Even if the Hive ultimately destroyed them, they were strong enough to rebel against Xassa’s rule for generations, after all!
* Haunted doll vibes. Doesn't speak a word for most of childhood. Watches everything.
