Air Manipulation

Gale Guard – The air directly above his body moves at hurricane speeds, protecting him from incoming attacks. He cannot use this ability and attack simultaneously, especially not with his sword.

Wind Walk – By concentrating powerful blasts of air from his paws, he can move at incredibly high speeds.

Equipment

Starfall Blade – This short sword is made from meteoritic iron and has been passed down through his family line as a symbol of their status as royalty. The first born always receives the sword upon the death of the previous wielder.

Cape – This short cape is made of soft black fabric, trimmed in gold, featuring a double twist motif. Black leather cording secures the cape around his chest and the base of his tail. Beneath the cape lies a small harness that houses his shortblade. 

Wristlets – Metal and gold wristlets bearing the same double twist motif as his cape. These are mostly aesthetic, but may provide some protection against attacks.

Before

The Māvora Clan have ruled the Ohllypian Dynasty for generations, with most monarchs acting with benevolence and generosity. Beloved by their subjects for treating all with respect and equity; never asking anything that they would not do themselves. Deimos, the first born, and only whelp in his litter, of his parents Jezero and Minerva, was destined through cosmic birthright, to one day wield his mother's sword, Starfall, and rule the Goldthorn Clan. His younger sisters, Rhea and Aenia, were always more level-headed than their fiery brother and tried their best to influence him towards a more benevolent disposition. Unfortunately his ambition and temper won out, creating a restless and power-hungry young man.

When he was very young, a pair of parentless pups were found and adopted into the pack. One of them, Daphne, was quickly identified as an excellent choice as a future wife for Deimos. His parents could teach and train her and mold her into the perfect queen and so the two were betrothed. Deimos was mostly tolerant of this. The other canine, Iris, was supposed to be a sort of personal-guard-in-training for Daphne, but she showed little interest in combat and instead excelled at blacksmithing. This disappointed Jezero and Minerva, but they generally let the girl be. As time went on Deimos was paired with a new trainer, Adrastos, and Deimos quickly developed secret feelings for the other man. He never has expressed his affection for Adrastos, but the two are close as teacher and pupil.

As a son, Deimos was obedient and diligent in his duties and training, his ultimate goal of ascension spurring him onwards. As a prince however, Deimos could be cruel, using his status and combat prowess to get what he wanted more often than not. It wasn't until he turned three years of age that he realized the good health of his still young parents might mean he would never rule in his lifetime and that it would be one of his children. He could not abide by this and began to plot against his parents. Daphne, eager to please Deimos, supported him, along with Iris her eternal guardian. Opportunity presented itself when he and his mother were out training together, working on battle tactics for uneven terrain. As they climbed higher onto the mesa cliffs, Deimos knew that this was his chance. As they engaged in one on one exercises, the young male pushed too hard and went to far. Thinking that her son would back off, Minerva told him to reset as he corralled her against the cliff's edge, dropping her guard. 

When he returned to the pack, feigning tears while carrying the broken body of his mother, Deimos told the story of how she had slipped from the cliffs and tumbled to her death. No one could have fathomed the truth and so after a period of mourning, Deimos was coronated and bequeathed the Starfall blade. His reign was tyrannical, bloody and ultimately short-lived. One of his first acts as King was to declare war on the neighboring pack with the goal to overtake their territory. The campaign was successful but both sides suffered incredible loss and injury, but Deimos saw it as a success and indication of his skill as a leader.

The canines of the now conquered pack were given the choice to leave or bow. Those who chose to stay were treated as inferior and subject to completing most of the manual labor required to support the pack. After a few short months his sisters, Rhea and Aenia, lead a nearly unanimously supported coup. Rather than face his siblings as both a failure and a criminal he fled with his retinue, taking Starfall with him.
