Hannibal

Kestrel (Adoptive Mother)

Fitu (Adoptive Father)

Andi (Adoptive Sister)

Eir, Sigurd, and Vindur (Adoptive Brothers)

## Application Sheet

Hannibal was a cream-colored male wolf with pale teal-colored eyes and a severe scar on his throat. He was raised in Heyl by adoptive parents Fitu and Kestrel. He had four adoptive siblings: Sigurd, Vindur, Andi, and his best friend Eir. When Fitu chose his sister, Poppy, as his successor, Hannibal joined Eir in a coup to overthrow Poppy. He had a change of heart in the midst of the attack, and Eir turned his fury on his brother, ripping at his throat. Hannibal survived the attack, rendered mute, but left the Domain, leaving the shattered remains of Heyl behind. He was created and RP'd by Wolfess4.

## Personality

* ***Benevolent***. He is incredibly friendly and selfless with his peers. As a wolf of Heyl he believes it’s his absolute duty to help those in need. Although he has a tendency to be wary of outsiders. He’d still welcome them with open arms nonetheless.
* ***Update***. After his past actions and the loss of his voice, he has become much more closed off and wary of others. A strong bout of depression has left him the opposite of what he used to be.
* ***Assertive***. Han is very confident in himself and others. He isn’t afraid to be forceful on his beliefs with others. Especially when it comes to diplomacy and politics within and beyond the pack. However he has a bad habit of taking this to extreme lengths.
* ***Update***. Han has lost complete self confidence and has sunk into self doubt. He is more submissive than he used to be.
* ***Reserved***. This wolf is not stoic, but it takes him longer than others to pour out his feelings to you. Han see’s confiding in others an emotional burden, which he doesn’t want them to bear.
* ***Opportunistic***. Han isn’t afraid to take advantage of something. Especially if it benefits his family. Although he would snag an opportunity for himself if it really convinced him.
* ***Courageous***. Han is very bold. But only when something calls for it. He isn’t afraid to step into danger or question someone who is strongly in the wrong. Even if doing so puts himself (or unknowingly) others at risk.
* ***Orator***. This wolf knows how to use his words. Public speaking and overall conversation comes as easy as breathing. Either his word choice is to sway a crowd or bring good influence is solely up to him.
	+ UPDATE. Without a voice, Hannibal had to learn to use more body language to communicate with his peers.
* ***Eccentric***. He is what you’d call...different. More in an emotional sense that is. He does his best to get creative with the way he acts around others. He has made it his personal mission to stand out so that others don’t think he is boring.
* ***Careless***. Han over looks and underestimates everything. He shrugs off the matters that require thoughtfulness and caution. He fully believes that as long as he is Heylian- nothing could possibly go wrong….right?
* ***Wise***. Despite his carelessness, Han still pertains a high influx of knowledge. Being a wonderful orator, he is a wolf worth listening to. He has proven himself to be a great storyteller as well.
* ***Poser***. He tries really hard to be like his parents. Especially his father. Although he is loose on some aspects of his fathers moral. While his father is a pacifist, Han has a harder time performing the same way. But he’d rather do what he believes is right in his father's eyes.
	+ UPDATE: Han no longer believes he could be anything like his father was. He is now more committed to taking inspiration from himself.

## Pre-Group History

Hannibal’s biological parents were what you’d call...star-struck lovers. Growing up together, the small pack saw what their relationship would turn into from a mile away. Fern- the father, was the packs lead healer. Hazel- the mother, was the packs best huntress. The pair were elated when they learned that they were to expect children. However good things never last. Something went very, very wrong. Unexpected complications arose when Hazel went into labor. She died giving birth that night, taking three other young lives with her. Fern being a healer and all, was the one to assist his mate during the ordeal.

There was a spark of hope when the last born pup was revealed to have lived. Grief stricken, Fern had no choice but to hand over his only son to someone else. His pack had no wet nurses and his grief was too great to bear. He couldn’t bear to even look at his son for he looked so much like his lover. The healer left the next morning with his newborn son in tow and left him in the nearest pack territory. Hoping that his son would have a fighting chance without him.

## Group History

Hannibal grew up in Heyl, enjoying the privileges of being the son of the alphas, in a time of complete and total peace. His best friend was Eir, and the two were rarely seen apart. Still, Hannibal enjoyed interacting with the rest of the pups in the pack, like Barbosa. He also enjoyed picking on his sister Andi, by trampling the wildflowers she enjoyed looking at. He got a little bit of a kick out of using his carelessness to irritate others.

When he became older, his parents decided it was time to tell him the truth of his heritage - and, of course, to reassure him that he was loved and still their son. Hannibal played it off as though he had known all along, and outwardly expressed that he forgave them for keeping it a secret. On the inside, however, Hannibal was hurt and angry, and refused to forgive Fitu and Kestrel for keeping the secret.

As weeks passed, Fitu debated what to do about his position as leader, and he decided that he wanted to give his position to his younger sister, Poppy. When Eir heard of this, he was outraged. That was *his* title! Eir conspired with his brother Hannibal to depose of Poppy - Eir promised he'd do the deed itself, if only Hannibal would distract Kestrel.

Hannibal followed Eir's guidance, but at the last moment, looking at his mother's face, he realized that he had to stop Eir from killing Poppy. He ran to protect his aunt, and Eir, blinded by bloodlust and rage, attacked Hannibal in retaliation. His fangs sank into Han's throat, and ripped it away, before he ran off, mortified, leaving Hannibal in a pool of his own blood.

Hannibal was dying, and Poppy realized she couldn't stay. She and Eir had both fled, leaving Kestrel alone with her dying son. She did what she could, and then ran as fast as she could back to Heyl, to get help.

Han survived the ordeal, but not without being severely injured. His vocal cords were damaged beyond repair; his mental state forever altered by being attacked by his own brother; he was left completely alone, after his and Eir's actions caused the pack to completely dissolve. He was now a loner, and recovering in Heyl's old lands.

After recovering, Hannibal chose to leave the Domain. Where he chose to go, nobody knows, but he has not been seen since.

## Trivia

* In the attack from Eir, Hannibal's vocal cords were so badly damaged, he has been rendered completely mute.
* Han doesn't really care about nature, and will step on anything that's in his path without a second thought.
