Lokki

## Application Sheet

Lokki was a sandy-brown wolf with charcoal markings on his face and back. He was a Theta Hunter in Fellfang, where he lived with his familiar, Rasmus, and his dear friend, Primrose (who he had feelings for). His story is ongoing. Lokki was created and RP'd by Strawberry-Tate.

## Personality

Lokki is a wolf with great politeness, and respect for the hierarchy and other wolves that considers as superior to him. He always thought of himself as a wolf that gods offered to serve others and the pack. He will therefore easily obey the slightest orders, even when he disapproves them. If a superior asks him to commit an unforgivable crime, he will do it. If he has to protect his pack and his Alpha, even against -more- numerous and stronger enemies, he will. He has the soul of a guardian and a protector and puts the honor and the codes of his hierarchy before him.

He still has anger that he can suppress, or negative feelings that can invade him. He can quickly get carried away and get angry when he's disrespected or made fun of. He's quite subject to curse wolves who will betray him. He will always obey wolves who will treat him with respect.

He's a wolf who often stays discreet, he likes to take initiatives on his own when no wolf is expecting something from him. He's also very attentive to puppies when he has to watch and protect them. He's a lonely soul and likes to be quiet. He doesn't know how to be sociable in despite being a helpful friend.

The young golden wolf has kept the lores of his old pack. He believes in several cosmic gods bringing the night, the stars and the moon. These gods often have the appearance of prehistoric animals such as mammoths, bovids and other animals hunted by wolves. They are originate from old stories told by his ancestors over generations. They are passed from parents to puppies. Another god he prays is a gigantic deer that bring death and life. He often isolates himself at night to observe the stars and to gather with these gods and Thanatos, his deceased tutor and "master". He's always embarrassed to talk about his beliefs to other wolves. These gods can be reminiscent of the ghostly and boreal appearances in Brother Bear. He has never seen these entities with his eyes, but he imagines them and often dreams of them in his sleep. He can imagine them by observing the stars. He enjoys living in packs which share strong beliefs for the spirits of nature, and who also like to dream of imagination and fantasy. He dreams of being able to see these gods with his own eyes one day, even though he knows it will probably never happen.

When Lokki hears about the cursed blood of Fellfang, he wonders if his coming here is not a coincidence by recognizing a lot his beliefs, and his spirituality in their culture. He always needs to learn, and Fellfang's medicine allows him to satisfy his need for learning. He dreams of learning how to use plants and minerals ( and lithotherapy) of the territory to cure the rarest diseases. Sadly, Fellfang's story reminds him of his own birth pack, and he's afraid of getting a cursed blood too, and going mad like the wolves of the Edda pack. His greatest fear is that his gods will come and ask him to kill everyone in his sleep.

Lokki is a cerebral. He thinks too much and too quickly. sometimes it's plays tricks on him, these ideas are not always the best when he take them immediately, and he needs to rethink an idea several times for it to be perfect. Sometimes these ideas make him anxious, he easily has a lack of self-confidence. His thoughts or bad ideas tend to get him a lot of problems, or to make hunting attempts fail. Fortunately his small size and weight make him a good runner and sprinter. And he can quickly manages to catch preys known to be difficult to catch when they are too fast.

## Pre-Group History

Lokki was born into a far clan, far south of the map : the Edda pack, which was decimated by a lot of conflicts with neighboring wolves packs. His birthplace was a sandy, dry, hot desert. Which gave to his fur a color like sand, all the wolves of his first clan have a clear fur, with beige and orange tones. It was a war-tainted pack and wanted to steal territory from neighboring packs. His mother Una had a puppy in a previous union with a lone wolf. This loner was exiled from the pack because Una was offered to a mighty warrior as a reward. The puppy was called Daniel who grew up and was two years old when Lokki and Pollux were born. He immediately welcomed the arrival of the two twins and considered them as brothers. Lokki and Pollux's father Ivraldii was a powerful warrior with a fiery-red fur and knowing for the terror he inflicted on his enemies. These wolves were known for their strength in battle, and had to survive by stealing food from neighboring clans. Diseases also affected this pack, many wolves who living in this desert died from epidemics which made a large number of them disappear, and plunged the survivors into madness. Their beliefs and their gods were all they clung to for hoping during the years when disease, hunger, and thirst decimated them.

One day, Thanatos, one of the highest ranking in the Edda pack, came to steal puppies from the neighboring packs to carry on the lineage of his clan, which was also decimated by diseases. He wanted to take with him all the newborns pups with golden and sandy furs he found, and which physically resembled to the members of his pack to preserve the legend of wolves with bodies of blood and sand. And maintain their reputation as fierce desert warriors. Because Kersangak : the Alpha of Edda is a conqueror and wants to expand his territory as much as he can.

Thanatos will thus steal many puppies for his Alpha from many surrounding packs, all this to make himself visible when he asserted that their gods was speaking to him to recover puppies. The Edda pack will quickly become powerful again with all these new members, and dominate the desert over the other clans who will see themselves weakened, even exterminated. All puppies are trained in combat to become a warrior for the Alpha, and act in the name of their gods.

Lokki's father will be known to be the best assassin of the clan, the alpha's favorite soldier, and will be feared by their enemies. Thanatos quickly sees potential in one of his two sons : Lokki, and wants to manipulate this pup into convincing him to side with him so that he can serve his cause. He sees in this puppy a future protector for his ass when he becomes an adult, and a powerful fighter like his father. But he starve him, and mistreat him in order to break him psychologically without his parents noticing. Thanatos also takes care to prevent Lokki from approaching his two brothers by finding excuses to keep the puppy close to him. Explaining to his superiors that he wanted to teach Lokki to speak to the gods, as he can. Seeing that Daniel wanted to help Lokki, Thanatos will make him believe that Daniel wants to kill him out of jealousy. Because his father prefers to take care of him to make him a powerful warrior in his place. And indeed, Daniel is very close to Lokki's father who wants to train him for combat, and he abandons his youngest son. Lokki is going to believe all of Thanatos' words, while his brother doesn't mean any harm to him. He's going to walk away from him and hate him.

Deceived by Thanatos, Lokki and his kidnapping companions will grow up in the madness of adults and their thirst for power, but also for wars. Attacking more and more packs around. When Thanatos's secret is discovered, Ivraldii gets angry. Because his son has been mistreated and psychologically abused, he realizes that his son has been deprived of food for days. His son fell ill and became so afflicted that he could not remember his parents and his brother Pollux. Thanatos has shown that he manipulates all of the puppies in the pack by seeking to steal power from the Alpha by pitting them against him. He was planning a mutiny to kill the alpha, whom Ivraldii was protecting. The pack decided to exile the criminal from their pack, and force him to live far from their territory. Thanatos forcibly took Lokki with him, whom he had manipulated, making him believe that their gods had ordered him to serve him until the end. Lokki who was fragile and weak will believe him and follow him into his exile. He will be convinced that the gods created him to serve a superior wolf all his life. Sadly, Thanatos died quickly from illness, leaving the poor Lokki alone. This disease will fill Lokki with despair, and will dream of finding a medicine to cure the wolves which are decimated by this epidemic which affects all the wolves of the desert.

During a patrol, wolves from an isolated pack in the desert discover him. He agreed to follow theses wolves on their territory. Lokki was soon accepted by this new pack and made some friends there. He had a slightly higher rank than when he arrived, but his behavior who is different from other wolves did not make him feel at home. Lokki was still trying to attach himself to this pack and love them... to survive, because of the fear of being alone. Despite his efforts, he felt that he didn't belong to this pack. After a year, wandering wolves give him news of his old pack, and Lokki learns about is sibling : an identical twin with whom he has been separated. Lokki learns too that his brother lives in violence and war in a distant land, because he has moved far away from the desert where he was born during his wandering with Thanatos. One of the wolves thinks his brother is no longer alive because the disease is once again taking its toll. But Lokki refuses to believe it and wishes to free his brother from the Edda pack. One night full of stars that lit the road, Lokki made the difficult decision to go looking for his lost familly.

Lokki will travel for miles and walk along the sea in search of his brother, and ask many wolves if they did not know his family. He will fall on Fellfang's territory after months of wandering. Exhausted, he asked this new pack for permission to stay a bit, slowly losing hope at the idea of finding his brother. He's convinced that the stars have separated him from his twin, and that he's in a different world than his own. The gold-one learns that in this new territory, many wolves are learning medicine, and the art of healing. This knowledge will quickly fascinate him, which will make him want to stay in Fellfang longer than he expected. He only thought he would stay in the winter, the time that the cold weather allowed him to resume his journey. But the beliefs of this pack are very similar to his, and for the first time, he feels at home even though he does not know much about their habits and traditions.
