Clothing Style

Hurricane tends to dress in the typical style for his tribe, which includes all handmade garments, many of which are made of or include leather. Since the weather is usually rather warm, he almost always wears sleeveless tops and/or vests along with shorts and leather boots. His outfits usually have a lot of light brown from the leather with the traditional patterned accent designs shown in many of the Soratan Wolves' clothing or clothwork, which most consist of purple-dyed leather or cloth with yellow/gold symbols embroidered on. Some of his clothing will include fringe, but he usually opts for simpler outfits when going out to explore. He almost always wears a leather purple and yellow patterned headband along with a gold armband with the symbol of the Cloudline family engraved on it. Inside the armband are multiple tiny tubes set into a hidden maze of sorts, and it can only be unlatched using Ayr rifting to go through the tubes, and obviously only members of the Cloudline family are taught the specific way to open it.

Personality

Hurricane is a headstrong and rebellious young warrior of the Sorata Wolves who always seeking thrills. He can be confident to the point of being cocky, and he's typically irreverent and believes himself outside the standard rules set for those around him. He has issues with following orders or respecting authority, and he often just does whatever he wants and rarely thinks too far ahead about the consequences. When things go completely wrong for him, he has a habit of getting very defensive and often skirts his responsibilities, although he is capable of facing certain serious subjects with the proper respect. His curiosity is insatiable and frequently gets him into trouble when he overestimates his abilities and winds up in over his head. He's not afraid to take risks, and as irresponsible as he can be, he always is looking to improve his skills and better himself in any way he can. 

He can be a bit teasing and sometimes a jerk toward his friends with his attitude, but he's still very loyal and protective nonetheless. He often gets his friends into trouble along with him when he doesn't think ahead, but he will do everything he can and even risk himself to get them out of any bad situations. Hurricane would never abandon any of his friends or allies, and his sense of honor will keep him from resorting to dirty tactics to overcome foes or even cheat his way into completing tasks. He might ignore tasks that don't interest him or don't seem valuable to him, but he'll never half-ass something once he actually starts it.

Hurricane's arrogance and cocky attitude is much more exaggerated in public than he would normally be in private. A lot of his rebellious actions seem to be a cry for attention since his relationship with his father is very strained, and he has no other family to tend to him. Hurricane tends to be loyal to those around him since he has a deep fear of abandonment, which have come up in his life when his mother died and when his older sister denounced their father and left the tribe. His feelings for his father are very conflicted, since he wants to respect and admire him and have a close relationship with him again, yet he is constantly frustrated by his father's cold nature and the way he's been leading the tribe. Hurricane may vent a lot about his father to his friends, but he is often too meek to actually bring up his feelings and concerns to him directly out of fear of losing him in his life completely. In general, Hurricane doesn't like talking about his father or hearing others bring him up in conversations, especially if anyone speaks ill of him. Their interactions tend to be very tense, and neither of them are very good at properly communicating with each other. Although Hurricane is rather uncooperative with him, likely to get his attention in the first place, the few times that his father actually takes the time to mentor him or give advice, Hurricane does listen wholeheartedly.

Backstory

Hurricane was born and grew up in a tribe of Ayr rifting wolves on Sorata, the clan known as the Lupatyn Wolves. His father, Dusk Cloudline, was the chieftain of the tribe, and during Hurricane's early childhood the tribe grew larger and stronger than ever under his leadership, leading the clan into a golden age where they claimed the majority of Sorata's ranges as their tribe-lands. For as long as Hurricane can remember, their tribe was known as the Sorata Wolves, which is a name they took on instead considering that they were now more powerful and far reaching than any other Soratan tribe.

However, when Hurricane was still young, his mother passed away from illness, and his father became colder and emotionally closed off to everyone. His spirit seemed to have died with her, and his conquest of the other lands came to a screeching halt. Although the clan maintained their vast lands, over the years the other tribes stopped fearing him and even mocked him for falling from grace. Hurricane never really understood what the rumors meant since he was too young to remember that golden age. He did however fall into a mild depression since his mother was no longer present, his father was no longer affectionate with anyone, and the relationship between his father and Hurricane's older sister, Darkova, was becoming incredibly strained. Hurricane still isn't sure why, but he remembers one day his sister vowed to become stronger so she could one day strike down their shameful chieftain and lead the clan herself before leaving Sorata.

Currently Hurricane is sixteen years old and a skilled warrior apprentice for the clan, albeit a somewhat arrogant one. Although he's at the top of his class, he frequently frustrates his mentors due to his irreverent and irresponsible behavior. Hurricane finds most of his training boring and sees no point to the mundane tasks assigned to the apprentices, and he frequently shirks his assignments to explore the Expanse behind his mentors' backs. 

His relationship with his father has become very complicated over the years, and the two have become even more distant from each other. Hurricane often scoffs at how his father doesn't do anything impressive anymore or lead the Wolves in more conquest like he's heard about in stories of the recent past. However, it's clear he still wants to have a good relationship with him considering how defensive/aggressive he gets with anyone else who talks about his father in such a way. Hurricane seems to be channeling his frustrations through his rebellious behavior and dismissal of his boring training. He wants nothing more to learn directly from his father, the undisputed strongest member of the clan and his greatest role model, despite how much he'd deny it if asked by anyone else.
