## Application Sheet

Jaeger (or Jäger) was a dark-red-furred wolf with yellow-orange eyes. He was born in Aryn to Riga and Ragnarok, in the midst of a war with Vektren, alongside three siblings: Leviathan, Minerva, and Cybele. His mother died in childbirth, and so he was raised by a single father, and the supportive efforts of his grandparents Kane and Eden. He served his pack diligently as a Ranger, educated by Daenerys, but ultimately left the pack after the Hive Wars at his alpha's request to track down stragglers of the Hive. Jaeger has not been seen since. He was created and RP'd by Sychynte.

## Personality

* ***Sarcastic*.** If one word were to describe this wolf, Sarcastic would be it. Even as a pup, everything from his motions to his words and expressions are the pinnacle of sarcasm. His delivery is well formed, however, and despite how his jabs and sneers may seem rude in word, he has a knack for delivering them in a humorous, jeering manner.
* ***Sullen*.** Jaeger is a sullen young male, usually scowling or frowning with his brows furrowed in his bad mood. It's easy to make him laugh and smile, but that is not his state of rest. [Resting Bitchface™]
* ***Short of Temper.*** Jaeger is easily brought down to a place of discontent and anger, it doesn't take much to poke his buttons, to the point it could even be considered amusing how quickly he is angered.
* ***Condescending*.** Stemming from his sarcastic nature, little behemoth can sometimes have a condescending streak when his patience is up. When speaking condescendingly it's not difficult to identify his frustration.
* ***Self-Conscious.*** Despite being a handsome young male, Jäger envies his brother's sheer size and golden coat over his own reddish one. He's also very jealous of his siblings having been born smaller, and weaker. Despite his anatomic blessings, he still feels a sense of anger towards his physical inferiority to his brother. Because of this, he attempts to compensate in ways that make him appear foolish or overbearing at times, especially with his younger peers.
* ***"Aggressive" but Gentle*.** Despite putting on a grand display of dominance and aggression for his peers and siblings, Jaeger is gentle in body and heart. He's not exactly conscious of his own weight, but he knows how far he can push things before actually hurting someone physically, and can be gentle and kind when someone may need it the most.
* ***Devoted*.** Jaeger is extremely devoted to the Arynian lifestyle and the future duties that come with it. He absolutely idolizes his superiors, and wants to learn as much as he can as quickly as he can so he can be a mighty Arynian warrior some day.
* ***Expressive*.** Jaeger is absolute garbage at hiding his emotion or thoughts. He wears them openly for all to see, and even if he doesn't always say what he's thinking, it's apparent by his facial expression almost a hundred percent of the time.

## Pre-Group History

Jaeger was born third child to a young couple during Aryn's darkest era.

The Vicar and new parents feared for him at first when he refused to breath or cry, but thanks to the One, the pup soon after spat up the liquid caught in his lungs and began a weak cry.

It was a travesty that Jaeger's one younger siblings, his brother Leviathan, was barely birthed with complications that killed their pale mother. This travesty was hard on the initial development of Jae, but even harder on his heartbroken father, who has also lost his father, and Alphas.

It took the child a notable amount of time to recover from the liquid that had once been trapped in his chest, but alas, with the help of the esteemed Vicars of Aryn, Jaeger survived his infancy and is now just as rambunctious as the rest of his siblings- if not more so.

## Group History

As he grew into a juvenile, he took a keen interest in taking a task. He was delighted by the chance to be tutored by two of Lady Athena's daughters - Daenerys, who would teach him about being a Ranger, and Dyana, who sought to teach him to be a Courser. He took as many opportunities as he could to practice and hone these skills before settling on one path or another. One day, when he set out to practice, his brother Leviathan tagged along - and the pair were attacked by a lynx. Fortunately, neither was seriously hurt.

However, Leviathan would be hurt by Jaeger's words after the incident. Jaeger was frustrated that the two of them already spent all of their time together, he just wanted to be left alone to practice his skills before choosing a task! Leviathan was stung by this and ran off, leaving Jaeger feeling even more upset than before. He hadn't *wanted* to hurt his brother's feelings...

In the end, though, he would find himself always directing his negative emotions towards his brother.

Another incident occurred after he had started training as a Ranger. Jaeger was among the first to greet Ragnarok, Leviathan, and Catalaya when they returned from a battle against three Vektreni - Ghislaine, Vieste, and Ivar. Ragnarok would lose his eye in the fight, causing Jaeger to turn his rage on his brother for being so close to the border. He could only yell once at his brother before Daenerys plunged between the two and scolded Jaeger soundly, in front of other packmates. Humiliated and ashamed, Jaeger would retreat, leaving the Vicars to tend his father and brother's wounds.

A short time after Ragnarok recovered from the incident, Jaeger was caught spying on him. HIs father was taking time to talk to the spirit of Riga, his mother, and invited Jaeger to sit with him. He spoke a bit about Riga, and admitted that he had let fear run his life for too long - and he asked Jaeger not to let fear rule *him,* nor to withhold love from his family. Jaeger would ponder this, telling his father he *did* love his family, even if he was bad at showing it.

As time passed, Ragnarok would grow closer to Daenerys. Feeling a bit playful, they decided to prank Jaeger by openly flirting and interrupting his meal, causing him to feel nauseous at the sight! Wolves were feeling lighter, though, when the war against Vektren ended, and the Inquisition instated by Lord Raphael concluded with his supposed death. Despite many wolves feeling lighter, though, Daenerys would start to withdraw from her apprentice, confusing and hurting him.

For a time, there was peace in Aryn. Unfortunately, this peace would not last, for after the coldest winter the Domain ever knew - the Deep Freeze - invaders later dubbed "The Hive" encroached on the lands. These white wolves were vicious, held no regard for pack borders, and tried to kill any wolf they spotted. All Arynians were on high alert.

Jaeger kept busy, but tried to make time for his family. He grew to resent his mentor Daenerys for withdrawing from the rest of the family - constantly working as a Ranger, away from the pack, never taking time to spend with Jaeger and his family...he was outraged. Jaeger eventually lashed out at Daenerys, accusing her of abandoning their family. He wanted *nothing* to do with her anymore. The two fought, with Jaeger drawing blood and saying he didn't consider her family anymore, and he stormed off.

There were other trials to face in Aryn, as well. Jaeger would be with Hieronymus when they were nearly killed by stampeding caribou, whipped into a frenzy by the actions of Paimon. Paimon hadn't intended the caribou to harm Jaeger and Hieronymus, but they quickly brought him back to Lady Cassandra for some kind of trial or punishment for nearly *killing* them.

After harsh words with Paimon, and feeling emotional about the departure of his parents (and Jaeger's grandparents, Eden and Kane), Ezra confided in Jaeger, who, despite his sullenness, was willing to listen to his uncle's woes.

The Hive Wars dragged on, but eventually, the Domainians were able to defeat the Queen and her forces. Life could go back to normal. Only...for Jaeger, 'normal' meant seeing Daenerys more often. Jaeger awkwardly avoided Daenerys whenever they crossed paths, though as often as each of them were out ranging, they rarely ran into each other. He found himself wanting to make amends with her, though so much time had passed, he wasn't quite sure what to say.

He was incredibly uncomfortable seeing Daenerys, and even being in her general vicinity. He couldn't take it. He approached Lady Cassandra one day and asked if he could be assigned a lengthy mission as Ranger. He had to get out of Aryn for a while. He missed his sisters, he hated the distance that yawned between him and his mentor...he needed to leave Aryn.

Cassandra would allow him to do this, and sent Jaeger on a mission to track the last remnants of the Hive and eliminate them. Relieved, Jaeger set off shortly thereafter, to do his duty. Despite this, Daenerys caught word and ran after him, intercepting him at Pinefell. Daenerys apologized for growing so distant after the Inquisition, for their fight, for *everything.*

Jaeger accepted the apology, but he could not stay. So much of his family were gone - Ragnarok had died, Cybele and Minerva were gone, he'd never known his mother, his grandparents and Uncle Barin were gone - *gone, gone, gone.* He needed to leave. He asked Daenerys to take care of his brother Leviathan, and Amara, before setting off. Danny promised to wait for his return, and Jaeger wished her well until they met again.

Then, the red wolf set off, his paws set on a path beyond the Domain. He has not returned since.

## Trivia

* During his traumatic birth, Jaeger had fluid-filled lungs, which threatened his new young life. Fortunately, he would survive and be a rambunctious pup!

## Quotes

* “We GET it...your family is dead, boo-hoo...get over it already. Don’t be such a wimp. I DON’T WANT TO HEAR your *pathetic* excuses. You let your own weakness pull you away from the people who loved you, you’re just PATHETIC trying to make up for it now! You’re a rotten excuse for *family*!" (to Daenerys, *Stroke of Bitterness*)
