## Application Sheet

"Devil's Grin" Davis was a large, dark-furred male wolf with orange markings and one blind blue eye. A son of Roman, Davis lived the life of a scoundrel before settling in Chandor, where he formed a long-lasting partnership with Magpie (more or less becoming unofficial mates) and raising a family with her - Payton and Graham. Ultimately, he sired several unknown children, including Ender, by Rose, though this was before he entered the Domain. He was created and RP'd by Hyperesis.

## Personality

* ***Sarcastic*.** Spoken as if it were his first language, his sense of humor is rather easy to pick up on. Overall, this makes him rather alluring and incredibly likable as an individual. However, his attitude tends to get him into quite a bit of binds with wolves who do not know him well, or rank far above him.
* ***Alluring*.** It's hard for anyone to simply look past this male's chiseled looks and charming personality. His sarcastic attitude and rather "honest" way of constructing his sentences makes him all the more attractive to be around. Davis most certainly doesn't mind the company.
* ***Secretive*.** Although he allows others to be an open book in his presence, his openness towards others is rather scarce. Few know his genuine motives or the truth behind his past. For the most part, this is overlooked by his peers, as many cannot see past his dishonesty.
* ***Coarse*.** If its inappropriate, a curse word, or brash, chances are it's something that's probably came out of Davis' mouth at some point in time. This language is often paired up with his sarcastic personality. However, Davis' speech often lacks a filter in even casual conversation, this often takes his peers by surprise, regardless of how well they associate with him.
* ***Manipulative*.** If Davis wants it, he gets it, and he will do everything in his power to assure the outcome of a situation is in his favor. whether that be lying, making a deal, making promises, or even threats and blackmail. Although he appears to be friendly from first impressions, its often best to never share personal vulnerabilities with him. If he sees an individual as useful, he will never hesitate to use those vulnerabilities against them.
* ***Possessive*.** A firm believer that the world probably revolves around him. He is not only possessive of his personal den and belongings, but possessive to those he has manipulated, and those who have made the mistake of getting too close. Often, He has a hard time letting go of the ones he has used for his dirty work, or those who consider him a friend. He believes those individuals belong to him. He will protect them at all costs, and often guard them from any outside influence.

## Pre-Group History

His name is whispered to in ghost stories, from mothers to scare their children to obey. Some, are even nervous to tell of his stories. Some rumors say he'd befriended all of the Ravens and Crows because of the amount of death he has caused, and has been around. Others, say he spawned from the fiery depths below, only to bring chaos and disorder to the forest. He haunts the woods, awaiting his next opportune moment to raid packs. The nerving thing is, most of these rumors are true.

He began his life as most other pups, he was born into Blutwald, fathered by Roman, and mothered by a harem wolf. He was the only surviving of his litter. At first, Roman approved of his son, sending him into rigorous training, to become the fit and sculpted warrior he wanted all of his offspring to become. But Davis was a little more free willed, despite his brute strength. As he entered his awkward, lanky years, his top teeth began to protrude from his mouth, giving him a vampire-esque look. This made his birth mother nervous, and to Roman, it was a mutation, an imperfection in his perfect world. With the combination of Davis' unusual maw, and unwillingness to listen to his father's orders, Roman was planning to kill Davis.This news reached his mother, and, although she feared her son, she did not want him killed. She warned Davis of his execution, and demanded that he leave Blutwald. In the dead of night, the son of Roman escaped camp to never return.

Although he was already rather large, he still did not hold the capability of fending for himself. Soon, and older lone male sought out to raise Davis. Davis learned of the harm of packs like Blutwald. But, he was even taught that most lone wolves were lone because they were thought of as weak by other packs. This sent Davis spiraling downward, and his adoptive father only encouraged it.

As he entered his adult years, he had banded together, and became captain of a small fleet of raiding wolves. Their goals were to raid the goods of packs, and utterly destroy everything that was taken with, even pack members. This is how Davis' legend was born, from the ashes of slaughters and raids. Davis earned the name "Devil's Grin" Not long after his 4th raid, where pack members were howling in terror upon his arrival that fateful night. One spoke of his teeth, how 'the devil had given him that grin'. The wolf whom had spoke those words was soon killed after. But, the name stuck among his comrades, and even Davis himself enjoyed the terror that came along with him. His scars, were all earned from attempts of mutiny from his fellow raiders. Those who attempted to kill Davis, were killed as well.

The amount of raids Davis has done has significantly decreased. Though, he still participates in them, he cannot seem to find a decent number of wolves in the area to join up with him. He now lives in the center of No Man's Land, the unclaimed territory between all of the packs. He visits them on occasion, secretly admiring the social life the members all have, but also, scouting the land, planning for his next coming raids.

## Group History

Davis lived primarily as a loner for his time in the Domain, befriending wolves in a variety of packs, and making enemies in others. He was quickly acquainted with his older brother, Ivan, who believed Davis to be *weak* for leaving the pack. However, Ivan was intrigued by Davis's stories of bringing death and destruction to packs he raided. Ivan told Davis that he would find a way to contact the pirate, should his plans to out Stallion as a traitor fail.

Davis had other plans, however. He planned to lead raids on the packs in the Domain, as soon as he gathered enough followers to raid them. He skulked around near Chandor, where he was spotted by Gabitrix. She asked what he was doing, and he delivered a chilling message - a warning to the alpha. Gabi was unnerved and hurried back to her packmates.

While hanging around the borders of Chandor, Davis met a she-wolf named Magpie, who intrigued him. He and Magpie fell in love, and they found and raised two pups together - Graham and Payton. He decided to hang his hat on raiding packs, and instead become a family man. He had found his brother, Ivan's, two sons, abandoned - Rheagan and Aleksey - and decided to raise them himself. He was a dad now, and an uncle. When Rhaegan and Aleksey were old enough to care for themselves, they left their uncle's care, and Davis handled it well.

But when Graham and Payton decided to leave the Domain, to seek their own fates, as youths, and it was just Magpie and Davis in Chandor, Davis began to feel a sense of solemnity and loss. When Magpie mysteriously vanished, he found that he had no reason to stay, and he, too, departed the Domain, to continue his life of piracy away from wolves he could potentially care about.

*Outside of the Domain, he infiltrated a pack; Skalavik, a pack of old-world wolves where he manipulated their future chief into having feelings for him. After he had gained their trust, he took over the pack and reigned as their leader for several years.  That is, until Skalavik turned thier back on their new leader. A mutiny sprouted, and among the chaos, Davis set their homeland ablaze, ordering any follower remaining to kill the Skalavik wolves on sight.*

*Leaving Skalavik in absolute rubble, Davis returns to the domain with a vengeance, but this time, seeking out a rather interesting back that was whispered of; Vektren. He approached the border, quickly met by their patrolman, and personally requested that the son of Roman have an audience with Hekate. The two met and after much consideration, Hekate allowed the brute to join. While still getting his feet wet and familiar with the pack's beliefs, Davis has seemed to find a happy balance for his thirst for blood and the security of a pack. At least for now.*

He entered Vektren alongside a she-wolf he'd met along the way: Morana. He was eager to participate in Vektren's pack life, but his story stopped there. Nobody knows what became of Davis, but he slipped away from Vektren almost as soon as he joined it, and has not returned to the Domain since.
