Other:

Name: Mr. Kool-Aid Man ("Kam")

Link to wolf: Link

Pack rank: Lead

Gender: Male (he/him)

Orientation: Panromantic demisexual

Age: 3 years, 4 months

Personality:
+++: Caring, courteous, patient

///: Outspoken, moralistic, soft

---: Awkward, cowardly, gullible

A wolf who leads with heart and love, and not so much an iron fist. Kam is an awkward, innocent, but hopelessly adorable presence who seems like everything but a worthy leader. He is bashful and is about as courageous as a pup afraid of the dark, frequently seen blushing when faced with embarrassing situations that he doesn't have a handle on. Nonetheless, it appears that his pack adores him. He tends to them readily and seems to be a great caretaker to those he finds himself attached to. He is patient with them and is the type that is willing to see things out, no matter how unusual the situation may be. His naïve demeanor may make him seem like an unworthy leader, like nobody would dare follow him and he'd be overthrown within a matter of minutes, but...Kam is a wolf who holds respect due to his heart of gold. While he may be much more of a listener than he is a speaker, he is always courteous- despite how often he trips over his words in the presence of pressure. 

To be frank, the wolf wouldn't harm a mouse- better yet, Kam himself is a mouse. He is far outspoken by the bolder members of his pack, known well for being an individual of few words. No matter how much he might disagree with another, he is gentle in his approach and typically somewhat submissive- yeah, he's a coward. He'll own up to it. But the wolf carries a strong set of morals- respect others, tend to the needy, and never kill without explicit reason (as in, to feed yourself). He is hopelessly naïve in conversation, and seems to always be in need of the guidance of his pack, as he tends to take some things too literally. Taking advantage of Kam is easy- but how could you? He's so nice and cute...you'd have to be a monster to do so!

Or just be STONKS.

...Or Carnage.

Physical: Slender, semi-short. Known for having remarkably soft fur, and appears to have a few small bite scars along his lower legs due to the "company" he keeps. Seems to carry a very fruity scent, something almost tropical. Appears to frequently adorn himself with flowers, because he likes their smell??

History: He was not Azkaban's son. He had been found and raised alongside a mute that grew to be his best friend in the companionship of the Umbravi, the pack of shadows. Stories had been spun about them by wolves who never dared to set foot in their territory. They were said to be sorcerers, wolves of dark magic and twisted minds. Some of it was true- indeed, some of the members had once been cursed by the shadows themselves, but the pack had another meaning: they were wolves of the shadows, forgotten and long since tossed out by their own packs. The pup had no place of his own, and so the endearing Azkaban took him in as his own. He was raised alongside the lead's mate, Alastor, a sharp-minded and reclusive female who was nonetheless a gentle soul with a rough exterior. 

The pup had no name, no blood to call his own. Some of the hunters were joking around and came up with some sort of absurd name: "Mr. Kool-Aid Man", whatever that meant. The pup thought it sounded cool enough- as young as he was, he already had insecurity issues. If it sounded cool, then it would make him cool. So...they rolled with it. 

Azkaban and Alastor, as they began to climb in age, were yet to have any pup to call their own. As Azkaban was growing older, he took note of Kam's kind demeanor and general responsibility within the pack. He saw quite a bit of himself in the awkward wolf, and deemed him his heir. A good number of the males thought it was an outright joke- Kam was no leadership material. Hell- he was scared of his own shadow. How could that kid run the "pack of shadows"?

Some protested, some shrugged it off, and others supported the young wolf. Azkaban eventually passed away, making Kam the Umbravi's new leader. His mute friend, Estryd, offered her silent support and comfort during his troubling moments. The snarky comments and jokes fired at him from the males of the pack only further murdered Kam's ego, but the older and respectable wolves were there to pick him up during his worst moments. Before long, Kam's gentle disposition and general attentive attitude towards the pack won the respect of most of the members. 

Sundavar, the shadow-wolf, was one of Kam's most protested actions. Allowing the unusual being into the pack made some of the members weary, but Kam reminded them to be mindful and give the male a chance. Sure enough, the stranger proved himself useful with his unusual abilities and visions. 

But when it came to Carnage...

...even Sundavar warned against Kam's decision to invite the strange loner into the pack. Something about the ash-colored male made the hair on one's back stand up. He was not normal- something was wrong with him. Although Kam continues to give the stranger a chance, his horrible appetite and somewhat vicious demeanor makes him feel insecure. Being trapped in the Lunar world with this crazy guy? Not ideal. Kam swore he saw him swallow another wolf whole once, and he's not sure how he did it. He doesn't want to ask, either.

Family & Relationships:

Estryd - best friend

Several unnamed mustelids - pets, absolutely adored.

Other:

Name: Mikasi

Link to Wolf: Link

Pack Rank: Lead

Gender: Male, He/Him

Orientation: Demiromantic Asexual

Age: 4 Years, 1 Month

Personality:
+++: Accepting, Honest, Imaginative

///: Steadfast, Affable, Daring

---: Oversensitive, Stubborn, Ambitious

Not a natural born leader, Mikasi none-the-less took to the role with the best of his abilities - and has somewhat benefited from it. Whereas as an adolescence he would have jumped into the frying pan without a second though, Mikasi will at least now sit and consider for a moment before leaping anyway. He tries, but  Mikasi has little impulse control and a hankering for adventure. His packs mates, used to his antics, mostly just shake their heads and go on with their day, or group up and sit on him, depending. Mikasi is lucky Stonepath Pack is small and off the beaten track; seldom does trouble come knocking at their door. In true conflict, when cool-heads and strategy is needed Mikasi is not truly the wolf for the job. He would be the first to put his life on the line for his pack, sure, but would not consider the consequences of leaving Stonepath leaderless.

So how does a wolf like Mikasi, whose obviously not good leader material, stay in command? Charisma, mostly...as well as the fact there are no other wolves who want the job. He'd foist it on them in a heartbeat if there were. Instead, he's flying by the seat of his (metaphorical) pants and really hoping he's not screwing up to bad. The huntresses haven't killed him yet, so he must be doing something right. That might be partly due to him acting more as their friend than their leader. Affability is one of his charms, meaning he's friendly, good-natured, and easy to talk to. His packmates find approaching him is easy, whether it's just to chat, or with questions or concerns. He will attempt to sort out pack matters alone, but is not stupid enough to turn down words of wisdom from the older wolves. Usually. Tremisiss would disagree, but Mikasi's loud, boisterous voice tends to drown out the older lead huntress anyway. In a argument the lead male is not one to back down, and when his tactics or plans are questioned he gets easily upset or offended. He will then sulk like an overgrown pup.

Though Mikasi has plenty poorer qualities, there is a reason his pack hasn't been too bothered by his presence as leader. It's because in the end Mikasi is not a bad wolf. His pack will always come first, even if his methods are sometimes a little unconventional. He's put his entire life on hold to lead them instead of using his best years to seek adventure like he'd always planned. He'll get into roaring arguments with Tremisiss one minute and bring her the healers herb for a hunting wound the next. Will allow the pups to use him as a playground while attempting to remain stoic in the face of their excitement (all of Stonepath knows he's internally squealing in delight). Allows the hunting group to wake him extra early if one of the team isn't feeling well to take their place; he's an awful hunter, but having that extra able body will even out the odds for a hunt. So in the end he's not all bad, even if what he really wants is to be free of the burden of being leader and allowed to explore the world.

Physical: Relatively average for a male his age. Mikasi's a bit taller than he is broad, but neither is noticeable. His fur is thick and coarse, in particular around his neck and tail, where it is just long enough to see a bit of curl. He has a terrible time keeping the whites of his paws/underbelly clean(ish) so he appears a bit dingy unless he's recently come from swimming. His most notable feature are his white eyes which always appear to sparkle with mischief.

History: Stonepath Pack was founded by two close friends, Aodhan and Milady, who sought sanctuary from an oppressive upbringing. They'd not thought to bring in other wolves or settle when they set out, but an accidental run in with Blackelk, a shy rouge who stole Aodhan's heart, changed things. With three of them hunting became easier, and they'd found an abandoned ruin and made it home. From there other like-minded rouges joined, following the reluctant Aodhan's leadership. Mikasi's mother was one of these. Sisika'd wanted a safe haven for her young son after losing her daughter to a bear. Though a pack, Stonepath was still so young during Mikasi's formative years that roles and rules were very lose; though Aodhan made sure everyone was taken care of. He was a wolf others wanted to follow, strong and wise, but it was obvious he was uncomfortable in the role. He would often hide behind his mate when overwhelmed, and the typically timid Blackelk would turn vicious when it came to shielding Aodhan during these times. It was from watching their relationship that Mikasi learned what love was.

It was also from Aodhan Mikasi learned what it was the have a father. Being that he'd never have pups of his own, Aodhan took Mikasi under his wing, teaching him life lessons and attempting to groom him into being the next leader. Not that the latter worked very will. Mikasi was hard-headed and stubborn, and often Blackelk would have to step between the two to keep the peace. Then during his adolescence Mikasi's temperamental streak grew worse. Milday and three other females decided to leave Stonepath in hopes of finding males of their own; Sisika included. She did not give her son the option of going with her, but left him in Aodhan's care and disappeared. Bitter at the abandonment, Mikasi acted out more and more, trying the patience of the entire pack. More than once he'd thought of leaving, making his own path. Seeking adventure.

At a year and a half of age he finally gained the courage to do just that. Two nights in, Blackelk slunk into his make-shift shelter and it was only when the small black male pressed into Mikasi's larger bulk that he realized how skinny his second father-figure truly was. His usually silky fur was unkempt and lackluster -- his blue eyes hazy and sad. Blackelk admitted, in the quiet of that night, he was sick, was dying, even if his mate refused to see the truth. And once he was gone, what would happen to the pack, to Aodhan? They needed someone strong, and the only one capable was Mikasi. Heartsick, Mikasi promised Blackelk he would take care of Stonepath, of his adopted father.

Three months later Blackelk died.

It would be this event where Mikasi would say everything went wrong. Aodhan, heartbroken, retreated into himself and left the daily duties of leadership to Mikasi and Tremisiss, the lead huntress. The two butted heads, but for the sake of Stonepath they tried to keep their arguments quiet. Though both tried to get through to Aodhan, it seemed the loss of Blackelk, the abandonment by Milday, and the unwilling task of being leader took it's permanent toll. Aodhan passed away within the year. With the role of lead left wide open, it was through unanimous vote that Mikasi take it. He was not exactly pleased. But he's tried, taking what Aodhan taught him to lead Stonepath the best he could. It took a while, but eventually they came together, returning to a small, but successful, pack under Mikasi's leadership.
