Of sinners and saints [open]

BEHOLD HIS GLORY

Raphael is fire made flesh, gifted with a coat the color of a furious wildfire with fur as soft and fair as smoke his fur coils in some places and moves like fine rolling waves in others. His ears are long and end in fine points like blades. The charcoal markings on his fur rise through the blazing orange like the tongues of a fire and the golden streaks in his fur shine like embers amid a blaze. Below the coal black stripes along his shoulders and stomach, his fur is steam white and covers the majority of his form. The Light Bringer is large in height although he lacks the bulk of his brother’s build. Instead his legs are long and graceful like a deer’s allowing him to sail soundlessly and effortlessly through whatever lands he comes across. The male’s eyes are deep blue like the white-hot core of a flame, where it shines brightest and burns hottest

HEAR HIS GRACE

Calm

Raphael is, for the most part, a very reserved wolf; his peaceful nature can often be soothing to others and his lighthearted demeanor is welcoming to both wolves and on occasion other animals as well. Raph prefers talking and battles of wit rather than physical fights, although with his great size he is more than capable of protecting himself.

Kind  

The Light Bringer is known for his random acts of kindness, the man hates death regardless of species and can’t stand to see others in pain, both physically and emotionally. Although he isn’t a healer himself he will do what he can to comfort those in need. He respects that animals need to die so he may live and often prays to thank them for their sacrifice before he eats.

Practical

Although he is gentle and respectful Raphael is no fool. He knows that sometimes violence and death are a necessary means to a peaceful end and when the time calls for it he forgoes peace and pushes for war. He isn’t much of a fighter himself but will fight boldly and with all his effort if there is a need for it. Ultimately, he is more logical than he is kind and  will always choose what is necessary over what is morally right.

Scholarly

In his four years, Raphael has learned many things and met many other wolves and has, with every experience learned something new. He refers to these experiences when giving advice and for the most part the lessons he has learned in his time. He prefers to take the role of a wise advisor rather than that of a hunter or fighter, and although he sees the benefit of being a healer he is best at reading the signs in nature and navigating by the stars.
