—...Not quite the world's deadliest catch
**Templeton Twilight** is a current Wizened of the Glacies Pack. He is played by **moon#6176.**

## Description

Tall as they come for wolves, fit, and well groomed; beneath his pelt ripples lithe but well conditioned muscles that the years have only scratched at as he's aged. Templeton's thick fur is a luxurious pearl shade which when under the rays of the sun is mildly iridescent; displaying a faint rainbow of colors across the edge of his form.  He speaks in an aloof and pleasant accent, always seeming to be on the upswing— though sometimes tired and grouchy for no particular reason. His voice is rocky and grizzly, constricted mildly by old age but still strong and resonant— it also carries a hint of a sharp accent to great affect. Notoriously, Templeton has a habit of disappearing occasionally, only to turn up a few hours or days later completely fine. Templeton always seems full of vigor, no matter the circumstances.

## Personality

Templeton is a stoic wolf with a zeal for socializing with most passerbys— if a bit impatient at times with how long it would take to talk to every single person. He comes packing with a bit of coy charm and wisdom; and it's absolutely a people pleaser at that. He can be very agreeable and persuasive, witful, and has sharply refined foresight from centuries of experience and observation amongst his pack. Templeton always seems to know what he is talking about, never thrown out of the loop by a curve ball in conversation or dismantled from his self-control— Though deep within, he has the fledglings and pyre for a temper he keeps wrapped and chained far away and out of sight. Templeton does have his share of secrets though, and can be touchy and secretive about some aspects about his personal life. He’s very defensive towards the royal family and seems to revere the King and Prince without question— Quite intensely, too.

## Primary Elemental Abilities

* "Flash-Freeze"
	+ Templeton will collect/condense a thick sheen of water saturated in his coat/along his outer guard hairs, and using this + the moisture in the air with a good bit of concentration he can cause a wicked quick and damaging flash-freeze explosion around him, freezing over and chilling anything within 30 feet of him...even if its his team-mates. It takes a couple of seconds to charge and execute, and he can only do it a handful of times before he'd wear himself out completely. On top of that, once Templeton exhausts his source of moisture or the moisture he keeps stored in his fur during a battle it becomes significantly weaker until he can re-garner said moisture to use. No water/ice, no flash-freezing.
* Conjuring an Ice Shield
	+ Bound to his fur like a set of ice armour for a wolf to protect from oncoming attacks and push through opposition. It also may aid with opposition for shoulder/head butts given it'd work as reinforcement to the blow. The shield can be smashed and isn't the most durable thing ever— not to mention constantly maintaining it is exhausting and complicated.

## Non-Elemental Abilities

* Hawk eyes, very sharp long distance vision; though it's faded a tad with age. (Twice the deep field sight of a normal wolf)
* Higher/Longer than average jumping capability from his powerful long legs.
* ***Secretly, and something he keeps under wraps*,** Templeton’s physical prowess and physical abilities are boosted by about 2.8x-3x from a wolf at peak condition making him faster, stronger, and more enduring than your average wolf— as well as a small extension to his life. The drawback of this is not only must he keep it under wraps and hide this for various personal reasons, but it will wear him out proportionally faster and potentially incur injury on himself by pushing his body to those extreme limits of the form. He would also need to eat more to recover the proteins and nutrients to sustain this after wearing himself down. At the most extreme, it’s possible the continuous strain could add up to stress fractures in his bones in the most extreme of scenarios— or worse.

## Strengths/Weaknesses

* Templeton's wit is as sharp as a whip crack, and he is very keen and perceptive; making him both wise and physically fit. His plethora of varied experiences garnered over his lifetime add up to a wolf who is never surprised and always prepared, or even a step ahead. He has a homely and welcoming gleam to his personality, and is quite the persuader when he wants to be. In the elemental abilities arena, his quick and heavy hitting attacks make easy work of those who stray too close given he doesn't exhaust his abilities; and he makes up for his lack of consistency with bolstered joint offence/defense. He's great when he's in over his head.
* His anger rests inside of him, slowly roasting him from the inside out when something truly irks him. Usually, he is a stone wall, impossible to lure him into anger— but he has his limits; though you'd have to spend a good bit of time feeling them out to find the full extent. His high and clear self discipline can almost be impairing with a sense of perfectionism, that personal things must be done in the one and correct way no matter what effort it takes— it can lead him to exhaustion in what personal pursuits he has. In combat, he can tire himself out if he takes on too much at once— and it'll take him a bit to recover, too, which can stick him on a more defensive and cautious approach.
