Name: Baldur Hr??vitnisson Age: 2 years (from second litter) Personality: Baldur is the first to start whatever he sets out to do and he often approaches life head-on. Active and energetic, Baldur is a direct, straightforward and uncomplicated wolf and he expects the same of others, often becoming baffled by those that pussyfoot around an issue. Baldur can be a bit slow to finish what he starts but he is anything if not determined. A wolf of physicality, Baldur is a natural athlete with the inclination to use his body to get things done. He's not given to long, drawn-out emotional moments and he isn't very big on planning ahead. Instead, Baldur prefers to live his life simply. Baldur's greatest weakness is his impatience. Nothing ever seems to happen soon enough with this wolf. There is an inherent impatience with getting what he wants that's only exacerbated by the fact that he lives in the moment and has a hard time waiting for things to happen. Whims of the moment take absolute precedence in his life and seems to make others think he enjoys trouble and confrontations. While it's true that he's easily bored with environments that are to peaceful, he isn't one to constantly seek out fights, especially when his home seemed like a battlefield. That is also part of the reason he puts such value on self-reliance and independence. Though more forthright than outright aggressive, he does have a youthful and direct manner that sees what it wants and generally goes for it. At the same time though, there is rarely malice in his intentions. Baldur loves to start anything new and has trouble sitting still. His first instinct is to do, rather than think. Planning ahead? Forget it. Baldur simply charges forward without much ado. There's a basic quality of bravery in Baldur's determination that is unmistakable. He generally knows what he wants and the quickest way to get it. He has no problem taking shortcuts if he has to but generally his actions are on the level. Baldur is not the kind for wolf who resorts to underhanded tactics, it's just not his style. He'll rarely sulk or play any drawn out game of manipulation. You can pretty much know what he wants at any given time. Baldur feels independence is his birthright and he has no problem just putting himself out there in the world. He loves to make an impression in whatever he does. Nothing emboldens him quite like a brand new day and a brand new start. Baldur enjoys a challenge and is happiest when his life is moving forward and active. However, his seeming confidence is quite variable and Baldur is often plagued by periods of self-doubt and these up's and down's can lead to periods of moodiness and temperamental behavior. There's also a childlike innocence to Baldur's curiosity and adventurous spirit, even though the brute is far from naive. In some ways it's almost charming, even when he's using it to get his way. Baldur has an inner passion and fire. There is simply no pussy-footing around when it comes to dealing with life and even his feelings. Though general rather than talk or work out negative feelings Baldur prefers to get them out through physical interaction whether this be hunting, fighting, or competition. While a competitive wolf Baludr generally puts most of the pressure on himself. He feels a tremendous drive to make himself better, and no, he doesn't know why or what for. Oddly enough, despite his mostly outgoing disposition, Baldur is a fairly defensive wolf who can be quick to take things personally. It doesn't help that he feels the need to face his problems right away instead of mulling them over. He feels like he needs to face it instantly or it can't get on with other things though any flare-ups in ill mood tend to end almost as quickly as they start. Baldur also isn't the type to hold grudges for very long. He's not the kind of wolf that likes to live in the past. When it comes to communication Baldur is a quick-thinker and a rapid decision maker. True to his nature he doesn't have a lot of patience for mulling things over and he prefers to be quick to the point and candid, even if his statements are a bit crude. At times he can seem downright aggressive but this is only when he encounters outright opposition to his opinions and ideas. Whenever Baldur's excited about something he pursues it with unmatched enthusiasm and a sense of fun that can be almost infection. He's a leader, or at least would like to think he is, and is quick to adopt new ways of thinking and to try new things. Baldur's determination and persistence is his greatest strength and while he constantly seeks to define himself he is also willing to compromise in his relationships and is very attached to those he holds dear. Design: This large male boasts an athletic and well-toned frame that is sufficiently lithe to make him a rounded hunter and fighter. While not a tank by any means, he is a strong wolf with a fair amount of stamina to make the long treks to Alacritis and wherever else he may roam. Framed with broad shoulders and slim hips, Baldur walks swiftly with his head leaning slightly forward as he meets life head on. Quick to smile with a youthful charm, Baldur's most noticable feature is his pale, sapphire eyes that seem to pierce through darkness. His overall coat, is a rich, thick, luxurious blanket of fur whiter than snow. The only marks on this wintery backdrop is a mottled mark of black fur over his left eye and long, solid, black socks on each leg that mottle in a similar way to his eye where the black fur meets with the white. RP Sample: (short and sweet, maybe we can use it to start a thread?) Well? they were clearly close to finding the stray members of their family. Baldur's left ear twitched as he stared at the chunk of mistletoe that was laying outside the makeshift den. It twinkled in the morning light and Baldur glanced back in the den at his sleeping older brother, Thor. The pair had been on a long journey to get to Alacritis, more to escape their homeland than anything though Baldur suspected Thor was quite concerned about their brothers, well Loki any how. Hati was another matter entirely and probably would have slaughtered them in their sleep. With a frown Baldur pawed at the mistletoe, all to aware of the significance to his namesake. He personally felt the legends were a bunch of stories and little more but Loki just loved to poke fun at anything that breathed and Baldur was an easy target? pardon the pun. The pale brute scoffed. Whatever? Loki could crow all he wanted about his namesake slaying Baldur's. When the story finally ended, it was Baldur that was alive to see the new dawn, not Loki. "HAHA! Very funny, Loki! You need some new material you jackass!" He yelled out into the forest, ears flicking forward for any sign of this troublesome, older sibling before turning back to see if his outburst had awakened Thor? |
