Xanilov Adoption

Character Name: Demyan
Design: 6
Gender: Male
Age: Pup
Personality:

Demyan is an arrogant, self-assured wolf even as a pup. He's got that cocky swagger like you wouldn't even believe. He's always right, even when he's wrong, and he has no problem telling you that to your face. Snarky, sarcastic, and snippy, he runs his mouth constantly with no filter for either compassion or profanity. At least what he says is funny. Usually. Sometimes. To him, anyway. It's a constant stream-of-consciousness of jokes from him and usually at your expense, with no attempt whatsoever to keep the profanity to a minimum.

Demyan also has very little concept of his own mortality, nor does he generally care enough about others to worry about theirs. This coupled with his arrogance and an insatiable curiosity can lead to some very dangerous situations, for Demyan can't resist poking sleeping bears - both metaphorical AND literal. He jumps into things with an utter disregard for consequences of any sort.

A brawler through and through, Demyan will gleefully roll into any battle no matter how big or small. Particularly in defense of his family, though don't expect him to hesitate if the opportunity comes up to whale on one of his siblings. I mean come on, the guy may be loyal to and love his family, but he's no saint. If anything he qualifies as a bit of a bully and comes across (rightly, in most cases) as a selfish jerk, though his selfish-jerk attitude can be turned to his family's advantage fairly easily since no one messes with his family except him.

Demyan is ambitious to the core, though certainly not through any altruistic intentions. No, his ambition stems entirely from a disdain for his inferiors, who can't possibly be allowed to hold a higher rank than he, and a quite simple need to show off how amazing he is in every way.

Growing up he was conditioned to (begrudgingly) believe in the importance of family and to (equally begrudgingly) give them his loyalty and respect. He will - groaningly and with a show of great reluctance - accept a lot more from family than from anyone else and will - in public - give them his complete support and... sort-of obedience, particularly his elder two siblings who he'd learned early to look up to. Of course in private it will be a completely different matter, with him reverting immediately to his abrasive and bullying self.

As he grows to adulthood Demyan will discover the joys of the opposite sex, and come to consider himself something of a stud. God's gift to women, that's Demyan Xanilov. If you don't think so, well clearly that's a problem with you and not with him. Maybe you should get your eyes checked.

Plans: Demyan is unlikely to join a pack at all. He's not interested in being under someone else's authority and since none of his siblings or immediately family have a pack now that they've been by necessity exiled from Ebony he wouldn't accept anything less than that. He'll stick close by his older siblings until old enough to strike out on his own, and until and after he will be wrecking merry havoc in Ardent. No one will be allowed to forget the name of Xanilov again.
