Ragweed

Whitewall (Brother)

Ragweed was a gray-brown male wolf with pale eyes. He was the brother of Whitewall, and was partly responsible for his brother's death. He served Vektren as a theta, or Count, Enforcer for Hekate before his departure from the Domain, alongside an Arynian he met along the way - Thomas. He was created and RP'd by Hyperesis.

## Personality

* ***Dashing and Gentlemanly.*** He most definitely has a way with others. Polite to just about everyone, especially females. It's hard to turn away from this male when he walks by. He'd handsome, and he definitely knows it. But, there is modesty to his knowledge of his looks, at least a little bit. He tends to treat female's with much more respect, putting their needs before his own. Naturally, he's a charmer, and rarely clashes heads with many.
* ***Flirtatious*.** Tying into his gentlemanly manner most definitely. Flirts with just about everyone, male or female. This is an excellent way for him to get his way. Not to mention, his looks most definitely help. His flirtatious nature comes along when he is attempting to persuade an individual to to a task, or to gather information. And most of the time, Ragweed is successful.
* ***Well-Spoken.*** Ragweed has quite the interesting collection of vocab. He tends to use it almost excessively. However, it gives off the impression that he is an intelligent individual. This is probably why he uses it in excess. He enjoys coming off as intelligent, as well as to come off as superior to to others. He keeps his need to be better than others on the down low, and keeps his false modesty up.
* ***Short-Tempered.*** His temper has gotten him into a lot of sticky situations. His body count is easily in the double digits because of it. Once he's hit his small limit, there's no stopping him from doing what will calm him. For some reason, the case of blood on his maw calms him, he feels no guilt afterwards either, only satisfaction. However, his short temper has been so far of use to Vektren, but it could also be a downfall.
* ***Impatient.*** His impatience and short temper seem to go hand in hand most of the time. Don't keep this male waiting, or withhold him from something that he wants. Regardless, he will get it, with or without your blood on his paws. However, his impatience shows through in small amounts as well, such as waiting to go on patrol, boredom, and other minute things. Ragweed is not  wolf that enjoys to sit around and do nothing. Rather, he enjoys keeping himself busy and on the move.

## Pre-Group History

Ragweed had constantly lived in the shadows of his older brother. The two were raised in a pack known as Chamlek. It was a functioning pack, to say the least, with strict rules and guidelines. Wolves began to learn to fight from an early age. Almost instantaneously, his brother, Whitewall, showed promise. The lord was most impressed by him, and Ragweed did anything in his power to stand out from his class. However, everyone's attention focused on his brother, and Ragweed was left to be wasted potential, at least in his eyes. He had dreamed to inherit the lord's throne. Instead, his brother had earned the inheritance.

The brothers turned two, and their naming ritual went underway. Whitewall was given his name based on his nobility and promise to Chamlek. Ragweed earned his name for being just that: a weed. The packed mocked him after his naming ceremony, including his brother. This only angered the male, who ran on a short circuit as it is. One day, Rag was pushed a little too far by a young pup, and lashed out. This resulted in the death of the pup. Outraged, and rather disappointed by this, the lord banished him.

But this wasn't it for Ragweed, he was more angry than ever. This is when he met another banished wolf, Dragonfear, and joined up in arms with him. The two became quite close. And soon enough, they lead an attack on the fortified pack, burning it to the ground, and all those within. To Ragweed's disappointment, his brother managed to escape. Ragweed and Dragonfear took it personally upon themselves to track down the escaped heir to the lord's throne.

After almost a year, they finally stumbled upon him by happenstance. Dragonfear ordered his execution, and Ragweed complied without a single complaint. That day, he took his own brother's life, spilled his blood in the grass. He had never felt more alive. He had completed his mission, and parted ways with Dragonfear since then, and remained a loner for quite some time. Until suddenly a new pack came to creation, known as Vektren. Lead by powerful and merciless wolves, Ragweed couldn't help but get in on the action. He has been a loyal member since then, but his thirst for power is growing, faster than Vektren can quench it.

## Group History

Ragweed entered the Domain alongside a wolf named Ruffian. They met near Vektren, where each debated about joining the harsh pack. Ultimately, they decided to go for it. Ragweed got to know several packmates, for his calm and confident attitude meant that he fit right in with the Vektreni.

He spoke to Cicero, Hekate's brother. There was a mysterious, but flirtatious, way about their interactions. Cicero wasn't one to be trusted easily, however. He brought Ragweed to the border, where one of his old associates, named Hartshorn (NPC), was looking to join Vektren. Cicero wanted to test Ragweed's skill and commitment to the pack, and more or less instructed him to kill Hartshorn. Ragweed did so with pleasure. As a reward, Cicero took him back to his den...for a night of pleasure.

After this, he grew to know Hekate's son Damien. Damien was curious about what Enforcers did when they weren't killing trespassers, and Ragweed was more than happy to enlighten him. They found the remains of a rabid fox, and went to report it to Hekate.

The relationship with Damien was also colored by flirtations, but for a time, there was nothing more than teasing words. However, not all of his packmates were romantically involved. He worked fairly well with his fellow Enforcer, Klaus, however.

An earthquake rocked the Domain, and a flood washed through Vektren's lands. After the floodwaters receded, Ragweed caught up with Damien. He told the red-furred prince that there was some attraction, but he didn't want to interfere with Damien's obligations *as* prince. However, Damien felt possessive over Ragweed, and told him that he wanted Ragweed to be *his* and his alone. Ragweed was enticed by this, and agreed.

But Damien disappeared. Ragweed had a lot of trouble dealing with this development, missing the 'blood prince' on his patrols and wishing he had come back around. He was struggling with depression and had trouble getting up to do his duties every day.

*No longer feeling a place for himself in Vektren, Ragweed set out on a journey to find his former friend, now enemy, Dragonfear, and finish what he started. Along the way, he passed by the territory of Aryn, and stumbled across a young male by the name of Thomas. The two of them immediately clicked, and set off on the journey together, a new flame growing between them as their days together grow in numbers. Although their future is shrouded in mystery, the two wouldn't want to have it any other way.*

## Trivia

* Ragweed hides it, but he suffers from a mix of anxiety and depression, and often goes off on his own to cope with it. Storms sometimes help to soothe him.
* His hatred of his brother Whitewall stems from their childhood. Whitewall was always the favorite pup...even though he was smaller and darker-furred than Ragweed, their parents still liked Whitewall better.
