## Personality

* ***Laid back and Playful.*** Lazarus doesn't take anything seriously. He takes everything in stride and just kind of goes with what happens. Nothing really bothers him, be in insults or injury, and he is quick to bounce back. He doesn't really care about holding grudges or anything like that, he doesn't want to put in the effort. Life is a game to this black wolf pup. He loves to play with his siblings and tease them.
* ***Adventurous and Sly.*** Lazarus, never really considering the world a dangerous place, is not afraid of anything. He will explore anything and try to play with anything and this may get him into trouble. But as he runs from the danger he's laughing the whole time, hooting his adversary on. He is a clever wolf and knows how to think quick on his feet and he never freaks out or freezes. He doesn't take anything seriously, no matter the peril, and just sort of makes it up as he goes. Lazarus has an eternal smile on his face.
* ***Affectionate.*** Lazarus can get himself and his friends into all sorts of trouble, but that is the most fun for him. Lazarus always tries to get his family and friends to play and have a good time, and is not good at just sitting around thinking. He is close with his friends and likes taking others under his wing and leading them on adventures. He is a natural leader in terms of composure and self confidence, and his abilities to make others feel comfortable, but he is much too rash and thoughtless to make a *good* leader.
* ***Talented, but Dispassionate.*** Lazarus is a very talented wolf. Things come easy to him, particularly physical skills such as hunting and fighting. He is naturally agile, strong, and swift so he has never really had to try hard to learn anything. That may lead to the fact that he doesn't really care. Lazarus is not used to having to work hard for the gifts that he has, so he rarely tries at anything. He just sort of lets life go by and does not really lift a paw to shape his destiny one way or the other. He is not at all a deep thinker, or really a thinker at all, and he does not understand the magnitude of the things that he has. He just assumes that everything is as it is and does not care to try and change anything.
* ***Unable to Handle Serious Situations.*** Lazarus is always so laid back and rolling with the punches without really caring, but every once in a while something happens that he does care about. And if that happens he doesn't know what to do or how to handle it. He is so used to being that calm, collected, quick-thinking guy who has all the answers that when something serious happens that wipes the smirk off his face he just doesn't know what to do or how to properly react. He often hides feelings of grief, anger, or hurt, feeling way too uncomfortable having a serious conversation with another that isn't light-hearted, substance-less, or a game.

## Pre-Group History

Lazarus was third born to the Aryn alphas Alcatraz and Athena. It was clear from the start that Lazarus was an adventurous pup, and one not to be brought down. The loving atmosphere of his family and his pack has instilled in him a love for his family and friends. He is talented and cannot keep still and loves to play.

## Group History

Lazarus loved having three siblings, *and* four other pups to play with! He grew up alongside Alexandro and Charaka's puppies: Huginn, Muninn, Kane, and Mavis. It was great having so many pups to play with, especially because his parents could be very busy at times with their duties as alphas. The rest of the pack also took turns tending to the eight pups, like Hani, and their older, adoptive brother Riley.

Lazarus did get some time with his parents, of course, one-on-one.

Lazarus was an adventurous pup, and he ended up wandering away from the den-site on a couple of occasion. One of these times, he was found by a Fellfangir named Rutnik. He knew that the task he wanted to take was a Ranger, and he quickly began training. Of course, his father gave him lessons in self-defense, along with cousin Kane.

It was shortly after he began training as a Ranger that he met a new packmate, who would become his best friend: Seven. The two of them went sledding in the snow, the first of many great adventures! Other wolves he met were Tristan, Valencia, and Annabelle. Annabelle was a Vektren pup, a daughter of Stallion and Raven, who wandered to the edge of the border - they played, pretending to fly by leaping from a rock outcropping to a pool below.

As he aged, he and Seven got into even more mischief.

Unfortunately, not all of their adventures ended with the same happy ending. He and Seven were caught by a thunderstorm. Seven, having terrible fear of thunderstorms, desperately needed his support - something that was more serious than easygoing Lazarus was willing to deal with. Still, he and Seven both toughed it out, and managed to catch some prey afterwards. At least they had a successful hunt, and returned home safely.

The lessons from this outing wouldn't be forgotten, though. He avoided Seven during thunderstorms completely. Their friendship didn't *end,* of course, but thunderstorms were a sensitive time. Instead, Lazarus only chose to spend time with her when the situation was positive and friendly.

Still, even happy-go-lucky Lazarus knew to be serious when Seven's adoptive father, Kris'tran, died. He offered her as much comfort as he could.

Even though he was a Ranger, Lazarus still trained for self-defense, and he ended up doing some training with Raghaalr. Not that he was very good at it! In his Ranger duties, Lazarus helped the other Rangers, like Eden, with tracking down prey. Unfortunately, the two ran into a black bear in a patch of blackberries, and they quickly hurried away.

While adventuring with Seven one day, the pair stumbled across Seven's brother Loki, a Sentinel of Vale.

Lazarus found himself unable to cope with the dark times plaguing Aryn. Merrill's kidnapping, the treacherous infiltration of the pack that led up to it, Eden's near-death experience in the bison stampede...it was all too much. He chose to leave Aryn, and Seven, behind, to live the carefree life of a loner.

As a loner, he met several wolves from different packs. One of the first wolves he crossed paths with was Finarel, a former Valerian. His travels carried Lazarus to Fellfang, where he met Olithia and Ian, and had to report the death of Moth's mate, Kris'tran, to her and her kids, Christian and Misha.

Lazarus was alone again, but not for long. He quickly met with trouble, getting caught in a cave-in. Fortunately, another young loner, Robin, was around to rescue him. The pair of them became fast friends, and Robin developed a bit of a crush on the dark male. He liked her, too, in a way, though his best friend Seven never left his mind. The two of them made their way towards Aryn, where they were greeted at the border by Raghaalr.

And then, Seven arrived at the border. The reunion between Seven and Lazarus was emotional - both wolves just overcome with joy to see the other. It stung Robin to see the pair together, because clearly, there was something very intense, some emotional bond, between the two, that she would never have.

Robin chose to leave Lazarus in Aryn when she received word that her father Thallo in Highvalley had died. She had to go back. The pair said a fond farewell, and then parted ways. For a moment, it seemed like Lazarus would slip back into Aryn life comfortably.

Tragically, he wasn't in Aryn for very long when he and Seven went on one more adventure...with devastating results. A blizzard came upon them suddenly, and they got lost. Seven and Lazarus wandered through the blinding whiteness for a long time, covering great distance before Seven, absolutely exhausted, fell trembling beside him. He got her to shelter, and the pair hunkered down. They were far from the borders of Aryn...and they never returned.

Neither have been seen since, and are feared dead by their packmates.
