NATIOS Babies

NAME: Hypnos
ALIGNMENT: Neutral
APPEARANCE: #2.

Like his mother, Hypnos stands tall, reaching her height of 36" inches. He weighs one hundred and fifty seven pounds. Though he is heavy Hypnos does not bear a bulky build, but rather than look big and bulky his form fills out nicely, giving him a fairly handsome look. Though not the most attractive male, he cares for his personal appearance enough to keep his fur nice and clean. His features are more soft and rounded, except for his ears which are pointed and tall. His tail is long and fluffy, sweeping up behind him.

Hypnos carries himself with pride, though a lot of the time has an almost sleepy look on his face. He tends to move at a slower pace, more of a relaxed walk than one that is in a hurry to get somewhere. When angered he does not look incredibly intimidating, save for his size, though he will make others regret underestimating him. There is one flaw that this male will have to overcome as he ages, a birth defect in his back right leg. It will be much weaker than his others, having thinner bones as well, and will take time, work and patience to get him to make the most out of using it. As a pup it will be slightly smaller than his other legs as well, a trait that will be less noticable as he grows into his adult body.

Hypnos bears a coat that is a mixture of light and dark. A color of rust lays across his dorsal half, darkest on the tips of his ears, back, and top of his tail. As it goes down the sides of his head, body, and tail it fades down. Cream covers his undersides, legs, and backs of his ears. Rings of rust surround his eyes of sea green, making them stand out a bit more. A spot of cream also graces his crown among the rust. His body, overall, has a more gentle and relaxed appearance to him providing that he is not in an angered state.

PERSONALITY:

Hypnos, at a glance, is a very laid-back male. He has a more relaxed attitude for his ?normal? one that is not easily excited or set off. He finds little point in dealing with extreme emotions of anger, or even happiness. Hypnos likes to take life as it comes. He is indeed lazy, though good natured. While he would prefer not having to do work or participate in pack events if it needed or required Hypnos will show up the same as any wolf. When he does need to do work, or hunt, he puts in his all, so that way it is done right the first time and he go back to relaxing when all is said and done. If there is an easy and quick solution that will be satisfactory, however, Hypnos is going to suggest or do that choice rather than one requiring more time and effort.

Regardless of all that happens to him Hypnos will be a male who bears a deal of pride in himself and his family. He is not one to get into a heated argument, however he is not afraid to be bold and blunt in telling you exactly what he thinks. Truthfully Hypnos is rather passive, at least to a point, not wanting to waste energy on pointless fighting. However everyone has a breaking point and Hypnos is no exception. When he is angered he is cold, ignorant of the feelings of others. He is merciless, speaking with a sharp tongue. Crossing him, or his family, will earn you a spot on Hypnos? bad list, and he is one who does not forgive others easily.

Especially as a pup, and even while he grows, Hypnos is going to seek the attention of whatever guardian he has, being a 'baby' in some ways around them. Running to the caretaker while he is still to young to learn skills will be his skill of getting out of trouble. He?ll be a bit more mischievous when he is young as well, favoring pulling tricks on others, even his 'family' and friends. He means them in fun, though such tricks might get certain wolves rather mad at him and then back to caretaker he goes. Regardless of his age Hypnos will be extremely protective over his 'siblings' or younger wolves, particularly younger males. Even when he grows, and seems more distant, he will still hold strong feelings and bonds with those of his family. His loyalty to his 'family' and friends is absolute, and he would do anything for them. Befriending Hypnos as he ages might not be the easiest thing to do, but if you can past his initial distant nature you will find a true friend for life.

IC ROLEPLAY SAMPLE:

[[For the purpose of this sample I will be writing Hypnos as if he has a twin, Thanatos, as was found somewhere when I was originally looking at greek mythology and whatnot. Not changing the writing sample, though his background will change some.]]

A single sea green eye would open, looking up at a smaller version of his color pallet. Thanatos, his younger twin, stood before him. The other pup was far more distant than he was, though the two brothers were close to each other. It was Thanatos, or Thany as he called him, who truly brought a smile to Hypnos? face. The older brother, a larger than his twin, would get to his paws and give him a gentle nudge. ?Morning already?? He would ask, letting out a yawn. He felt like he could keep sleeping, personally.

?Nearly the afternoon, actually.? The other would reply in a soft voice. He would move slowly away from the other, starting in the direction of the pond. The events of the day before had certainly been interesting. He had been working on a prank to pull on their Empress, Virgil. The boy was grinning a bit at the thought of it. Some frogs from the pond were needed, as well as a lot of moss and some of those long, thin, leafy vines. Thanatos had agreed to help him with gathering the frogs, for which he was grateful, though he would plant them in the den himself. He didn?t want Thantos to risk getting in trouble.

Another yawn would escape the boy?s jaws as they reached the pond. His stomach rumbled, though it wasn?t time yet for his parents to be back with food. They would before too long though, he was sure. That was why they had to be quick about gathering the frogs. He would wad into the water, looking around as the cool water went up onto his cream legs. He was glad that he had been born when the weather was warm. The insects could be rather annoying though. Hypnos would turn his head towards Thanatos, grinning. ?Alright then, let?s get started!?
