## Application Sheet

Arthur was a golden-furred male wolf with cerulean colored eyes. He the firstborn son of Saurugol of Havir, and Malika, his trusted Beta Guardian. He had a sister named Zevahni, but she passed away as a pup. When a meteor destroyed Havir's lands, Arthur traveled to Vale with many of his packmates, where he dealt with the aftermath and comforted his younger half-siblings, Denahi and Morgana. Eventually, he left to search for Tilika and his half-siblings, Mohawk and Yuaei, but he vanished on this journey. Arthur was created and RP'd by Anhurs.

## Personality

* ***Kindhearted, Noble, and Courageous.*** As a youngster, Arthur behaved a little bit spoiled, being Saurugol's firstborn, and only, son. He was narrow-minded and could be a bit arrogant, though he had a good heart. In his younger days, Arthur was very much a rough and tough sort, always wanting to prove his strength. Eventually, Arthur matured into a kind hearted, noble, and courageous young wolf, becoming honorable, dutiful, and just in all his actions. He's very charismatic, and  a born leader. Like his father, he has decided to use his talents as a hunt master, often found leading hunts when his father is unable, or being right beside him so that they may lead the hunt together. Arthur is incredibly loyal, almost to a fault, but he cares for his pack and his family dearly. Betrayal is something he doesn't take lightly.
* ***Emotionally Reserved.*** Like his mother, Arthur is talented in the task of hiding his true feelings, and has difficulty expressing his emotions. He does not cry in front of anyone, nor does he allow himself to get very emotional, even in situations where it would be expected. This does not stop him from keeping some of his boyish personality from his youth, and often Arthur can be found joking around with other hunters and guardians his age.
* ***Fiercely Protective and Family-Oriented.*** Despite his kind heart and good nature, Arthur has a hot temper, and can become violent and aggressive, particularly when someone he loves is threatened. But Arthur always seeks to do the right thing in all situations, and refuses to harm or kill an innocent person, and has a great love for all the wolves of Havir. They are his family, and he would be glad to give his live for them if the need arose. He is no doubt one of the bravest wolves in Havir.

## Pre-Group History

The way Arthur came into the world was rather unconventional. His mother, Malika, was a Guardian of Havir, and his father, Saurugol, the Alpha. When winter came around, Saurugol noticed there had not been many litters that year. If the pack were to thrive, they needed strong, healthy pups to carry on the pack's traditions. After careful consideration, the alpha decided he would sire a litter, but he needed a female. Though he knew of Malika's apparent distaste when it came to having children, she was one of Havir's strongest, which made her the most logical choice to have his pups. He approached her on the matter one evening, and to his surprise she agreed to it. Within a few months, Arthur and his sister Zevahni were born, blessed by the gods and destined for great things, coming from such a holy union.

## Group History

As as youngster, Arthur and his sister were raised mostly by their mother. Their father had little time for his children, but he tried to spend time with them when he could. He remembers several times when his mother and father would take them on short walks around the territory. His father also had another child, an older female called Ira he had adopted long before Arthur's birth. He doesn't recall much of her from his puphood, but he does remember her teaching him to catch mice once when he was young. He greatly looked up to her as a child and still considers her a good friend.

He was extremely close to his other sister, Zevahni. She looked up to him greatly, and Arthur was always teaching her new things and looking after her. He was a very protective older brother, and he absolutely adored her. Unfortunately, Zevahni's life was cut short and she passed away when Arthur was very young. He remembers it all very vividly, and it very deeply traumatized him. She died in their mother's arms in the den after falling very ill. His parents explained to him that Zevahni was a perfect soul, and need not stay in Havir to be tested. Instead, the gods would take her now to Paradise, and she would be waiting for them on the other side when it was their time to go. After her death, Arthur became somewhat withdrawn and much more stoic, much like his parents. He tried desperately not to let her death affect him, but still often felt the pain of her loss. He was comforted by Tilika.

Time marched steadily on, and as he grew into a juvenile, Arthur was attacked by a she-wolf named Valda. She wanted him to spy on Saurugol and a wolf named Fallon, but Arthur refused, so she tried to kill him. He managed to escape and warn his father, who tracked the traitor down and killed her. Arthur recovered from his wounds, and got to meet other packmates, like Dahlia (who was quite playful with youngsters!) and Neo, a wolf his age.

As a juvenile, Arthur was bold and a bit rough around the edges, having struggled with his sister's death. A Hunt Master, Sage, eventually took him under her wing and set him on the path to becoming a Hunt Master himself.

Arthur matured into a skilled Hunt Master under Sage's guidance. The two wolves were extremely close as mentor and mentee, and both were chosen to help Saurugol rescue the she-wolves who were kidnapped from Havir: his mother Malika, as well as Siobhan, Shandris, and Ira (who'd been believed dead). Along with Arthur, Sage, and Saurugol were Nadina, Faust, Cyrus, and Quidel. During the pack meeting to decide who was to go on the rescue mission, Arthur was level-headed and wise, pointing out to Koudem that they needed to be careful with their rescue plan, so the captured she-wolves didn't get hurt.

After arriving at the lair of the Brothers (the wolves who'd captured the females), Arthur and Sage worked together like they would during a hunt, to track down the brother who'd fled: Ha'an. They brought him to Saurugol for punishment, and Saurugol killed Ha'an. The rescue was a success.

Still, Arthur began to realize the strangeness of his parent's coupling, brought on when Malika took another to become her husband, the large dark Guardian Quidel. The two were wed and Malika again was expecting puppies, and Arthur struggled with that, uncertain of what that meant for him. His parents did not love each other, they were not husband and wife, and this made Arthur feel somehow like a carefully bred soldier for the pack rather than their son. He went to Saurugol for help understanding, and Saurugol assured him that just because he and Malika hadn't become mates, didn't mean they didn't love one another or Arthur.

Shortly before his siblings were due, Malika and Quidel went on their daily walk and were attacked by a bear. Quidel was killed and Malika was left crippled. Soon after this, his siblings Morgana and Denahi were born, and their mother was a fierce protector of them, never letting anyone near. Including Arthur. That was okay, though. Arthur knew she had every reason to be protective. Arthur himself was greatly shaken by this bear attack, and he began to question the goodness of the gods even more after this event. Saurugol assured him that the gods were not *punishing* Arthur by killing and harming wolves he cared for, but fulfilling their plans *for those wolves*. Kotori offered further comfort, too.

When his siblings were mere juveniles, the sky itself seemed to crack apart and a piece of the heavens came down upon Havir's lands, Both of Arthur's parents perished in the crash, leaving Arthur alone and devastated. He had little time to grieve, as his siblings were still unaccounted for. When he found them they were huddled together in the snow, terrified, and Arthur immediately took on the role of father figure for his little siblings. They were in his care now.

Arthur followed Faust and Ira (as well as Dahlia, Silvanus, Evander, Nadina, and her pups, Alastor and Renae) to Vale, where Faust intended to take back his title as alpha and provide a safe home for the Havirian refugees. Arthur tried his best to be strong, for his family, and they carefully made their way towards Vale.

After arriving in Vale, Arthur met his uncle - Saurugol's brother Artemas. The two offered condolences to one another for the loss of Saurugol, with Arthur remarking that he knew all too well how painful it was to lose a sibling.

He served for several seasons in Vale as a Huntsman, tending to his younger siblings, and watching silently as Faust and Ira decided to leave the pack, placing Loki in charge as the new alpha. Arthur approached Loki to ask permission to leave Vale in order to search for Tilika, and the pups she had been pregnant with at the time Havir was destroyed. Arthur believed she was alive out there, and he wanted to bring them - whatever family he had left - to join the rest of the Havirian refugees. Loki agreed, and Arthur set off.

At the border, Arthur crossed paths with a young loner named Robin. She told him how to get to Highvalley, where Tilika was rumored to have gone. His travels took him towards Aryn and he was escorted through the territory by Raghaalr, before arriving at the borders of Chandor and meeting Kaen, who escorted him through *her* territory.

However, after leaving Chandorian lands, Arthur vanished. Nobody is certain whether he made it to Highvalley, or if he got lost, or something worse happened to him, but Arthur has never been seen again.

## Trivia

* His mother always called him "Little Prince" and, as he's gotten older, has continued this by frequently calling him "Prince Arthur". Other wolves in the pack picked it up due to his slightly spoiled behavior as a pup.
* As a youngster, Arthur was frequently passed between his parents, as neither really had the time to look after him all day. His mother was always eager to get back to work and, of course, his father was the alpha, leaving little time for Arthur to be given the attention he desired. This made him a bit prone to acting out, wanting his parents to pay more attention to him. He grew out of this as he aged.
* Because his parents didn't have much time for him, other wolves in the pack tended to look after him instead.
* Arthur still mourns his parents, both of whom were killed in the meteor shower. He suffers from a great deal of nightmares, flashbacks, and many other symptoms similar to that of PTSD. He looks after both of his juvenile siblings, Morgana and Denahi, though he feels he is too young and unprepared to raise two children. Despite this, he's doing his best and loves them both dearly. He feels somehow to blame for the loss of his parents, believing the Gods are punishing him for something.

## Quotes
