## Application Sheet

Ophion was a dark ginger-furred male wolf with pumpkin orange eyes. He was born to the alpha of Vektren, Nimh, and Lord Berserker Monty in order to replenish the pack after a bitter war with Aryn. He had three siblings: Theodosia, Judith, and Amon. Nine other pups were born at the same time. He rose in the ranks as an Enforcer, following his father's footsteps. His story is ongoing. Ophion was created and RP'd by sunkissin.

## Personality

* ***Opportunistic.*** From a young age, Ophion knows exactly what he wants and is willing to do anything he can to get it. He’s immensely driven and dedicated to his goals, and works tirelessly to achieve them, unwilling to give up for any reason. If something can be his, he will use all his wit and cunning to make it so. He is more of an optimist than a pessimist, and isn't one to give up easily or sit back and watch an opportunity pass him by. He is determined to his very core, and is extremely passionate about his goals and plans. Regardless of the situation, he has a massive sense of self-reward and pride when something goes exactly the way he wants it to - and when something DOESN'T go his way, he can become extremely bitter and anti-social. This is especially bad while he is a puppy, and as he gets older it does simmer down a little as he becomes more patient. But that doesn't mean he won't still become a huge sensitive grump when he fails in getting what he wants.
* ***Arrogant.*** His pride in his heritage really helps to shape his driven personality and nature, and as a result he becomes very arrogant and absolutely *will* boast about it every chance he gets. He has an extremely high opinion of himself, and struggles to accept criticism from anyone who isn’t important or close to him, often brushing them off with a haughty scoff or a rude remark. Every step he takes, he takes it with his head and tail held high. Full of purpose and over-confidence, he has no shame in showing off or striving to prove himself. Anything to impress others and keep his ego aflame.
* ***Outgoing.*** Despite his prideful and self-important nature, Ophion is friendly and sociable and greatly enjoys the company of anyone he’s close to. He’s very playful and affectionate, and absolutely adores his family and his friends, loving nothing more than roughhousing with them and playing pranks on them while also protecting them fiercely if the need ever occurs, even when it comes to seemingly small things. His heart is almost as big as his ego, and he never shies away from showing affection to his family or telling grand stories to anyone close enough to listen. Good luck getting him to shut up.
* ***Devoted.*** Ophion is unwaveringly devout and religious, and fully embraces all of Vektren's customs and laws as he believes that he exists solely to serve his pack and his Gods (and himself, of course). His loyalty is unwavering: the thought of questioning anything he’s taught never once crosses his mind as nothing else exists in it. Anything asked of him, he will do without question. The pack and its members mean absolutely everything to him. His reverence goes beyond the pack and its religion, as he is also fiercely devoted towards his family and friends. While a little unreliable and cruel at times, his loyalty is endless and has no bounds.
* ***Flirtatious.*** As soon as puberty kicks in, Ophion starts to become a *lot* more aware of the fairer gender. He loves being around girls, showing off for them and receiving praise and compliments while also giving them in return. Sometimes he can be a little disrespectful and crude due to his boastful nature, but never truly intends to cause harm or offense. He enjoys playful innuendo, and is by no means bashful when it comes to blatantly flirting with beautiful women. His boyish charm is his greatest aid, as well as his impressive lineage and sociable nature. He is typically undeterred by anything short of a firm and clear rejection of his advances, and while he's an opportunist, he's not a forceful creep, and will cease his behaviour if asked to. If his affections aren't reciprocated, he loses interest and will apologise. He's a good boy, deep deep down.
* ***Ambitious.*** As the son of the Patron and Lord Berserker of the pack and gifted with very high prospects, Ophion believes he is destined for greatness and glory. As a result of this, he is *extremely* obedient and hard-working, utterly dedicated to his goals to the point that absolutely nothing can get in his way. Everything he does, he does for the benefit of the pack- and himself, of course. His determination and passion drive him forward, and while his huge ego can sometimes get in the way, he strives hard to earn his place and impress his impressive peers and guardians.
* ***Mischievous.*** Forever immature, Ophion is extremely cheeky, quick-witted and sarcastic, and loves nothing more than a bit of banter and play with those close to him. He loves telling jokes, pulling pranks, playing games, and generally just being annoying and seeing how far he can push his limits. He can be a bit of a hell-raiser, and while he's very obedient and respectful and would never intentionally cause problems for the pack, he can be a bit of a bratty nightmare who sometimes struggles to take things seriously.
* ***Domineering and Distrustful.*** Due to his unwavering devotion, he’s very suspicious and dismissive towards anyone and anything not from within his home. He will defend and stand up for himself and his pack with his life should the need ever arise, and won’t tolerate any kind of backtalk or disrespect and ESPECIALLY won't take kindly to trespassers or troublemakers. Anyone who is so ignorantly insulting or dismissive towards Vektren aren't worthy of living, according to him. Very malicious and playful at the same time, he can be a huge bully, and won't ever back down from a challenge.
* ***Ruthless.*** If his patience is pushed too far by those who have no business pushing it, Ophion can become extremely unpredictable and violent. He knows how to be commanding and imperious when he needs to be, and learns to become very effective when it comes to dispelling troublemakers and doing his duty properly. Much like his mother, he has a cruel streak a mile long, and has absolutely no issue with removing hearts or heads when the need arises. He craves destruction and glory, and as a result can be extremely aggressive and vicious, but also a very smart and tactical fighter. He'll gladly protect his pack and anyone within it until his last breath.
* ***Sensitive.*** Partly due to his sense of self-importance and partly due to a complicated relationship with his mother, Ophion is surprisingly emotional and delicate despite his egoistical and tough façade. More than anything he just wants to prove himself and his worth to the pack (and Nimh), and struggles greatly with anything that causes him to feel insecure or doubt himself. His self-assurance helps to push him forward, and anything that could weaken that would cause him to falter greatly. He's extremely self-conscious and cannot stand the feelings of embarrassment or shame, and never wants to be seen as weak or unimportant. The way he's perceived by others matters greatly to him. He never wants to be seen as lesser, pathetic, or unworthy to Vektren.

## Pre-Group History

Ophion was born to Vektren’s Patron, Mistress Nimh, and Lord Berserker, Baron Montu during a bid to raise Vektren's numbers following the war with Aryn and Hellion’s gruesome betrayal. His mother had earned her position as Leader to honour Hekate, and it was her Gods-given right to keep up the Herald’s teachings and continue leading the pack to greatness.

Despite Nimh being his birth-mother, Ophion was mostly raised by her wife Vieste as well as his birth-father, Montu. He absolutely adores Vieste and Montu who dote on him and his siblings, and is blessed to be raised in such a loving and nurturing environment as a true Vektreni. Even though Nimh isn’t involved in his upbringing at all, he greatly reveres and admires her, desperately wanting to impress her and be seen as worthy in her eyes. He’s fascinated by the circumstances of his birth and loves hearing stories of the pack’s former Herald, and feels truly honoured to have been birthed by her replacement. It’s not something he takes lightly, nor is it something he lets anyone forget. Everything about Vektren amazes him. He never tires of learning all the many aspects of it: being told the thousands of stories and legends it offers and exploring its many fascinating areas and landmarks.

## Trivia

* Ophion refers to Vieste as “ma” or “mother”, Montu as “dad” or “father”, and Nimh as “mistress”, despite desperately wanting to call her “mother” as well. He sometimes does by accident, and will immediately correct himself whenever it happens.
* He has no volume control and can be very loud, especially when he gets too excited.
* Due to his extroverted and prideful nature he isn’t shy in the slightest, and has little to no issue talking to strangers unless they give him a reason to.
* Stories of bloody battles and gruesome deaths are his absolute favourite.
* His favourite season is Autumn, he really loves playing in the falling leaves and tearing them to pieces!
* While he’ll adamantly claim he’s “not scared of anything”, he greatly fears loss, natural disasters, and most of all, failure.
* He’s VERY proud of his golden highlights: especially the one on the tip of his tail, so he’s normally seen with it sticking up in the air like a waving flag.
* His favourite food is boar.
