Are you hungering for some more vikings? Do you like raids? How about sparkledogs? Boy oh boy have I got the adopt for you!   Deion is trying to continue his line, after a sobering reality check that involves realizing that he's getting older and he hasn't had kids yet. Coincidentally, a trader from his mother's homeland (read: very sparkly) has wandered into town and they'll be sharing a romantic night together in the near future. A month or two later, she'll be dumping a litter of pups on his doorstep because they'll get in the way of her work if she were to keep them. She's not the mothering type, either way. The kids will be freshly weaned, and malleable little mongrels to boot. Having been sneak attacked with progeny, Deion will likely be taking his leave from the Hallows with these new kiddos, and taking them to see the world and learn the ways of their heritage. They will be learning to fight and raid and plunder, and mostly be left to do as they please. This does mean that Deion will likely be holding them accountable for their own actions to a certain extent, and so if they get injured he will patch them up, but he will also be very bluntly informing them that there are consequences to every action, and sometimes it's maiming. Yeah, he's not exactly parenting material. He will love them all fiercely, and gladly lay someone out for messing with his kids, but he won't coddle the rugrats at all. Expect them to be fluent in Macedonian, Icelandic, and English. Those are the languages that he learned as a kid, and these little ones will be no different! There will also be a slight inclination towards his ancestral beliefs, which centre primarily around animism. The world contains a multitude of spirits, mostly tied to the land itself and its features. The Long Night was full of them, and he's recently come to terms with the fact that his parents might have been right about something. If one of these kids decides that fully committing to their beliefs is where its at, he won't dissuade them. His mom and uncle did originally come to Boreas to escape being ritually sacrificed, so it's a pretty gory culture. Strength and self sufficiency are paramount, though Deion wouldn't be one to hold back his love from a child that might not be either of those things. Basically, take what you want and sacrifice the occasional captive for a good harvest. OKAY! With the long preamble over and done with, here's the actual adoption info! Names: Botanical, Astrological, or Macedonian names fitting those two themes. No deity names plz. I've got a working list that's a few pages long if you're stumped for ideas, just DM me!   Size: Probably sticking close to the XL-Dire range, but not mandatory. His parents were massive (45" - heavy and 41" - medium), his uncle was also massive (45 - heavy), and a lot of his cousins onsite are massive (see: Jupiter and his ilk). Not gonna be super picky about this though, since big babies are pricey and since they're an off-site litter there aren't the usual fun discounts that would come with having the sire being max height.   Designs: SPARKLEDOGS! These are space-themed designs, and very colourful. If you want some natural colours in there, I won't fault you, but this is one of those rare opportunities to go hogwild, since Deion throws p much every colour, and his family has strong cosmic/rainbow genes. I've thrown a good few of them at the bottom for y'all to peruse, but feel free to make your own!   Alignment: Anywhere from True Neutral, running through the full Chaotic gambit, to Neutral Evil. They're proud marauders, and come from a background that included ritual sacrifice. No wilting flowers around here ;) Courtesy of the wondrous Fox <3 Magenta on Sapphire / Emberling / Bleached Sky / Lapis Inclusions / Cloud Covered Sky Handiwork of Virgil Violet Lattice / Umber Cosmos / Cupid's Constellation / Sunspots No deadline on these little ones yet, since I'm still uncertain of when they'll be coming in/working out the kinks. Consider this as both an interest check and an adoption page, and once there's a few of y'all I'll give a deadline and a date when they'll be coming in <3

Styx Aeris
male ─ alignment ─ bisexual ─ light ─ 41" ─ fighting / nav
by skelle.

Appearance ─
─ Mutations ─ using pup mutation coupon thing for bio-luminescence and something else offensive or defensive
Where to begin? From an early age, Styx is beautiful and he prides himself in it. Keeping his coat clean and well groomed is part of his daily routine, careful to keep his luminous coat pristine. His fur in fine and plush despite his apparent size, growing to be quite the tall man at a near-staggering forty-one inches at the shoulder. While he is proud, he isn't cocky though it could easily come across as that way. With the glowing fur and (MUTATION???) setting him apart from the regular wolves, its a surprise he isn't more full of himself.

His base is a deep indigo, almost indistinguishable from the deep void of space, but brighter streaks and smudges of purple highlight his coat and brighten it along his face, shoulders, hips, and tail tip. The brightest of colors fleck and dot around, but the true beauty is in the form of his blue markings that glow in even the brightest of lights. At his dark paws the swirling cosmic display begins, wrapping up each limb in a separate pattern. Reaching higher on his rear legs and claiming territory on his lower thighs, the color fades and dissipates towards his waist. His underside however was dipped in the other-worldly glow and spirals upwards onto his ribs. Seemingly random tiger striping claims his lower nape at his shoulders, fading in and out quickly. Dark indigo encases his muzzle and reaches upwards in between two inter-galactic blue and purple swirled eyes. A bioluminescent smudge of blue accents between his eyes as well as a bit of a shadow underneath them.

Personality ─
─ Traits ─ charming, protective, sassy, amorous, adventurous, competitive, fearless, drama queen

Plans ─ Protective of his sisters/siblings for sure! other than that, i dont have anything in mind but would love all the plots!

Name: Tethys
Sex/Gender: Female
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Design & Appearance Description:

Tethys has a coat reminiscent of the earliest stage of twilight, when the first rays of sunlight just barely begin to peek over the horizon. Her base coat is a deep, nearly-black purple. Littered across her coat are the sparsest hints of white flecks, closely resembling stars in a night sky. The most prominent feature of her coat is the sprinklings of light across her coat, gradients of bright purple and blue to orangeish pink, namely found on her tail, limbs, sides, back, and beneath her eyes. Finally her eyes are a vivid orange, standing out like a setting sun against the dark facial features.

As for height I'd like to make her as tall as possible (looking like 42" right now).

Personality:

Alexithymic — Otherwise known as the inability to recognize emotions, Tethys will always struggle with identifying the emotions of others when they aren't expressed explicitly. Of course she understands that crying means sadness, and yelling means anger, but the finer subtleties of emotions are completely lost on her. Likewise, she often has difficulty recognizing her own emotions unless they are super polarizing.

Nonchalant  — Generally she masks her difficulty in relating to others with an air of complete nonchalance about everything, often making her seem wildly disinterested in everything around her - unless she's attempting to beat someone at something, of course. Nothing seems to phase her much, often to an unnerving degree.

Competitive  — Everything in life is a contest that can be won, at least according to her. She is perpetually weighing her abilities to that of those around her, wanting to always best everyone at everything they do, even if it doesn't particularly interest her. She believes she can excel if she just tries hard enough, and so she'll be driven by the success of those around her, always wanting to one-up everyone.

Stubborn — Perhaps due to her competitive streak, when she has her mind set on something it's hard to get her to budge from it, and she'll sooner go down with a fight than ever admit she's wrong about something. Somehow this leads to her being true to her word, because she doesn't like going back on something she's set her mind on.

Skills: Fighting, Hunting (subject to change)

Plans?: Nothing specific, open to possibilities! I envision her as a true wanderer who is never quite content anywhere for long and doesn't latch on easily to others, so she could go anywhere really.

Name: Divna Napellus Aeris

Sex/Gender: Female

Alignment: Chaotic neutral

Design & Appearance Description:
Coat: Her base colors are painted in shades of blue with darker, navy hues through most of her body and lighter royal and cerulean blues rippling across the back of her neck and torso. Splashes of magenta splatter across her back and wind their way up her front legs with the markings from her ankle to shoulder almost looking like flames. The same magenta coloring forms markings under each of her eyes with a small shooting star-like marking between her eyes. The magenta pink has small accents of a lighter pink throughout, giving the markings subtle dimension.
Eyes: Her eyes are a rich amber gold that stand out from the cooler tones of her fur, appearing like golden coins that shine in the light.
Physique: She's a tall woman, standing at forty two inches tall, with a strong, powerful build made for fighting and traveling over rough terrains.

Personality:
Bold: If there is one thing that can be counted on from Divna its that she will always be to the point and straight with everything she says. She pulls no punches and always tells you exactly how she's feeling or what she wants. Sometimes this can make her a bit too much for some other's tastes, maybe even considered rude by some, but she'll never say something that isn't entirely honest or real. She just lacks the ability or desire to sugar coat it. She can easily get bristly with others, especially when they first meet, and it takes quite a while for her to be more than just a standoffish acquaintance. It's only once you wear her down and make her like you that you get to see the other sides of Divna.
Affectionate: Once you peel back the layers of her prickly, potentially unlikable exterior, you'll find a wolf that's actually very affectionate and passionate in most areas of her life. She enjoys physical affection, even just things like leaning on someone or playful head butts. Emotional attachment and deeper relationships won't come easy for her, but if you just want someone to pal around with and are willing to put up with the random sneak attack hug or playful nibble then she's your girl. She's far more tom-boy than girly girl so her affection does tend to be more of the hit a boy to show that she likes them kind of affection, but to her it's affection none of the less.
Spiritual: Divna has an affinity and an appreciation for the beliefs passed down from her family, and enjoys seeing the world as spirits and energies all tied into one another. Especially as she gets older, she likes the fact that there is something out there bigger than herself, even if she doesn't exactly know what that something is, and whenever something good happens in her life she attributes it to the universe's spirits helping her out. She has no qualms with sacrificing and giving things back to the spirits that gave her what she has if she feels like its necessary, but doesn't let that idea run her life. Her spirituality and beliefs are usually more of a pleasant background noise to her day to day thoughts that she thinks more deeply about when its convenient.

Skills: Fighting, Healing

Plans?: Nothing concrete just yet! Probably follow dad around where ever he takes them for a while and maybe venture off on her own once she gets older to find some poor saps to torment and "love". I'm interested to play and develop her with the beliefs side of things, but I think that's more stuff that will play out IC depending on what she's told about it!

Name: Vesna
Sex/Gender: They/Them
Alignment: Neutral Evil
Design & Appearance Description:
Pinks, reds, and tangerine oranges blend seamlessly with russet browns and shades of velvet black to create a rather appealing coat on this strapping young wolf.  Splashes of white stipple through to create a space-like theme that unmistakably ties them to their father.  A couple of other traits that the wolf seemingly inherited are their thick, dense coat and their massive size.  Vesna will grow to be only an inch shorter than Deion, standing at 41 inches tall.  They will be heavy with muscle and carry an air of confidence that might be intimidating to some folk.  Both eyes are a bright, vivid red.
(Height might change but I think this is where I'm sittin' at)

Personality: Resilient and Innovative, Vesna will find a way to get what they want.  
A strong sense of self importance that will always tiptoe the line of an actual God complex.
Disagreeable, once Vesna has decided the best course of action to get the job done it will prove to be horribly difficult to sway their mind.  They believe they are smarter than other wolves and won't risk pursuing a plan that is destined to fail, so once they latch on to an idea it's basically the end-all-be-all or count them out.  That isn't to say they have to come up with every plan, but it has to be the one that they think is the most fool-proof.  (And that isn't to say that they are as smart as they think they are either)
Desperate to be seen as equal to those they respect, probably especially their father as they grow into adulthood.
Cocky.  Very cocky.
They won't go seeking a fight for no reason, at least not 1v1, though they will gladly welcome one if it showed up on their doorstep.
Charismatic, creative, and more than willing to pull their own weight to get the job done.  
Skills: Fighting/Healing (Healing with the intent of not having to rely on anyone)
Plans?: viking family viking family viking family viking family viking family
