## Application Sheet

Rocky was a gray-and-brown male wolf with topaz-orange eyes. He was born in the midst of the Hive Wars (as quite a surprise!) to a loner mother Robin, with the name "Baby", alongside a sister who would be named Mewlin. His father was Paimon of Aryn. After several seasons as a loner with his mom, he decided to change his name to Rocky, and his story is ongoing. Rocky was created and RP'd by Lachtaube.

## Personality

* ***Sweet.*** Rocky is, above all else, kind. This trait stems from empathy, compassion, naïveté, everything that goes into a little, impressionable pup to ensure he puts on his very best for others. This trait comes at the expense of a general lack of ego; the boy will altruistically always put others first because he is nearly incapable of considering his own needs and desires. As an adult, this may be seen as a grave weakness by those who hold power over him or wish to take advantage of him. The greater good is Rocky’s dogma—whatever that means to him at any given time.
* ***Optimistic.*** A branch of Rocky’s sweetness is his ever-enduring optimism. You would be hard pressed to find this wolf down about something, and even more so if he’s not trying to shine a light on someone else’s blight to turn their frown upside down. While his uncanny ability to see the silver lining in every cloud of rain is a wonderment to behold, it is equally unbearable to the wolf who only wants an ear for sympathy.
* ***Trusting.*** Why, yes, stranger, he would gladly accept free candy and puppies from you! Rocky makes friends easily. All sorts of friends. All. Sorts. Thanks to his traits listed above, Rocky may also be able to see something in a stranger they didn’t even know was there. (Let’s hope it’s not homicide.)
* ***Gullible.*** As a pup, Rocky grew up around creatures who had no reason to lie to him. He accepts everything at face value and is slow to catch on to jokes and tricks.
* ***Obtuse.*** No (original) thoughts, head empty. Critical thinking? Who’s she? Cleverness? Never heard of her. Rocky says what comes to the surface of his mind, it doesn’t have far to travel. And yet, sometimes even the simplest of thoughts can sometimes be so profound...
* ***Perplexing.*** It's less a trait of his personality, and more a feeling that creatures who meet him just can't shake. Rocky is predictable, but unexpected. Something about him is a little... off -- it's not necessarily malevolent, but still unknown -- though it's impossible to put your finger on. Many will at times attribute it to the juxtaposition of his traits with his mother's, or his constant smiling, but that still isn't quite the source of his enigmatic Otherness. He is, very simply put, strange.

## Pre-Group History

Born to a single mother who had no idea he was on his way, this pup's infancy was terribly fleeting. The world was a mix of bright and dark as they moved around, kept to the shadows, occasionally resting in the sunlight. They did a lot of sleeping, though he wouldn't know it as hiding. His mother kept many secrets from him, but he couldn't know. She also explained many things to him, to both of them, and they learned a lot from an early age. What was food. What was good. What was kind. She never really called him, or his sister, anything other than "Babies," or "Your Brother" and "Your Sister." To him, those were their names. She never gave them any other. But he didn't need her to. She was his world. He never knew of the lanky male who sired him, the one Robin abandoned so hastily after a fleeting fling. Because Rocky didn't know of his existence, there was no speculation, no questions, wondering. All he had was Mom and Sister, and that was all he ever needed.
