Davian
"If you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself." –George Orwell
Appearance: Davian is a striking figure with a unique blend of elegance and strength. He is larger than most of his subspecies but still smaller than the average wolf, showcasing a lean and well-muscled physique. His coat is primarily a pristine white, highlighted by splashes of brown on his back, elbows, and front paws, along with a light grey underbelly. A brown face mask adds an air of mystery to his features, and his tail tip is a soft grey that fades to white at the base. His paws boast pink pads, and he has a black nose that complements his piercing blue eyes, which hold the wisdom of ages past and the secrets of a life lived in the shadows. Davian's appearance is a captivating display of contrasts, as if the desert's beauty and strength have been woven into his very being.
Scent: Davian's scent is infused with the earthy and warm aroma of sun-baked sand and desert rocks, reminiscent of the parched land he once called home. The dry air of the desert lend a slightly dusty and musky undertone to his scent, a testament to the harsh environment he navigated with ease.
Voice: Davian's is as captivating and mystifying as his personality and appearance. It possess a melodic quality, like the gentle caress of desert winds. His words flow effortlessly, each syllable imbued with charm and a subtle, flirtatious undertone. In moments of intensity or passion, his voice would deepen, resonating with power and conviction. It would be a voice that demands attention, one that reflects the courage and fearlessness he possesses when facing challenges head-on.
Strengths:
- Exceptional Tracking Skills: Davian's upbringing as a hunter and spy in Aldurige has honed his tracking abilities to a remarkable level. He can read signs and clues with precision, making him an invaluable asset in locating targets or navigating through challenging terrain.
- Charismatic and Persuasive: Davian's natural charm and flirtatious demeanor make him a skilled communicator. He has a way of winning people over, using his words to influence and persuade others to see things from his perspective.
- Fearlessness in the Face of Danger: He is not afraid to confront threats head-on, displaying a courageous spirit that allows him to face challenges and adversaries with unwavering determination.
- Adaptability: Growing up in the unforgiving desert has taught Davian to be adaptable and resourceful. He can quickly adjust to changing circumstances, making the most of any situation that comes his way.
Weaknesses:
- Suspicion and Distrust: While his suspicious nature serves him well as a spy, it can sometimes lead him to question the motives of even those closest to him, making it difficult for Davian to fully trust others.
- Impulsiveness: Davian's impulsive nature can lead him to make hasty decisions, particularly when fueled by emotion or a desire for action. This impulsiveness may not always yield the best outcomes.
- Reluctance to Share Vulnerabilities: He is adept at keeping his emotions concealed, which can hinder deep emotional connections with others. His reluctance to share vulnerabilities may isolate him in times of need.
- Rulebreaking Tendencies: Having grown up challenging authority and operating as a spy, assassin and revolutionary, Davian may be tempted to bend or break rules when he feels they restrict his options or go against his values.
Biggest flaw: Davian's biggest flaw lies in his deep-seated secrets and distrust. Despite his outward charm and charismatic nature, a part of him is consumed by guilt and resentment. Having been driven to murder his brother and take on his identity, he is still unravelling his own web of self-deception as he begins to let go of his brother’s traits and falls back into his own persona. This flaw will likely impact his future relationships and decisions, clouding his judgment and leaving him torn between the desire for a fresh start and the guilt of the secrets he carries. If not addressed, this flaw has the potential to unravel the new life he hopes to build.

Background
Aldurige
In the heart of a small desert oasis stood the pack Aldurige, a close-knit community that thrived under the scorching sun. Twin brothers, born beneath the watchful gaze of the shimmering stars, were destined to leave their mark on this arid land. Their parents, skilled hunters of the pack, nurtured the brothers' natural abilities from the earliest age, molding them into formidable trackers. But within the protective walls of their upbringing, a spirited rivalry burned between them. Each strove to outshine the other, like the sun and moon locked in a timeless dance.
As they approached the cusp of adulthood, fate diverged their paths. One of the twins was chosen to become the apprentice of Koros, the prestigious lead spy of the pack. The other remained under the guidance of their father, seeking wisdom from the experienced hunter.
With Koros as his mentor, the young apprentice embarked on his first solo mission. A dangerous task awaited him, to track and eliminate a rival wolf, only slightly younger than himself. The goal was ambitious, to spark a revolution against the pack's alpha, who had grown distant and oppressive. His success would ignite the flames of change, or so Koros believed.
In the cloak of night, the fledgling assassin stalked his prey, a she-wolf that bore the weight of her lineage. She was the alpha's daughter, her life entwined with the fate of the pack. Unyielding determination guided the assasin's steps, culminating in a swift and deadly strike. Yet, unbeknownst to him, the shadows had betrayed him, and his mentor's clandestine operation was exposed.
Upon his return, instead of glory and accolades, he was met with capture and despair. The revolution he hoped to ignite had been snuffed out like a candle in the wind. As he languished in a holding den, awaiting the swift blade of justice, his twin brother slipped through the darkness to bid a tearful farewell. The night whispered of love and regret, and in a twist of fate, it was this very moment that set the stage for deception.
Driven by desperation, the young twin devised a daring plan to evade his own execution. With a heavy heart, he made a life-altering choice. In a single, swift motion, he took the life of his own flesh and blood. From that day forth, he took his brother's name and adopted his identity, becoming Davian.
News of the prisoner's death quickly spread through the pack, but no tears shed for traitors. The curious glances of suspicion were cast elsewhere, as the begrudged alpha's family was assumed to have sought revenge. With little investigation, the pack moved on, and Davian's secret remained veiled in darkness.
A year later, Davian stood at a crossroads. Tradition demanded that he either claim his father's rank within the pack or venture beyond the familiar confines of Aldurige to seek further growth under a mentor. Knowing that the truth would unravel under the prying eyes of home, Davian chose the latter, using the guise of a yearning for wisdom as his shield.
Winter approached, heralding the customary time for return, but Davian could not bring himself to look back. He had let down the guise of his brother’s personality and longed for nothing more than to be himself. As he ventured into the vast expanse beyond Aldurige, he carried with him the weight of a hidden past and the hope for a future yet unwritten.
Mendeku
For a year and a half, Davian continued his journey across vast landscapes, seeking solitude and reflection as he distanced himself from his past. However, the solitude eventually gave way to companionship as he crossed paths with a fellow traveler named Korzeń. It had been far too long since Davian could be truly himself around another wolf, and the companionship was a refreshing change of pace. The two shared stories, shared meals, and forged a bond that began to mend the fractured sense of self Davian had carried.
Months passed in the company of Korzeń, and just as they became accustomed to each other's presence, fate struck a harsh blow. During a hunt that turned unexpectedly treacherous, Davian suffered an injury that left him crippled and unable to keep up with his companion. In a heart-wrenching moment, Korzeń made a choice born from survival instincts: he abandoned Davian, leaving him to fend for himself.
Alone and with limited use of his injured leg, Davian faced a grim outlook. Miraculously, his resilience prevailed, and he managed to endure for a week, scraping together whatever sustenance he could find. It was during this time that another wolf named Ksenia stumbled upon him. Having been betrayed before, Davian initially met her assistance with suspicion, but necessity trumped caution. Ksenia's aid proved to be vital, and the two of them formed an unlikely alliance.
Through the changing seasons, they traversed the untamed wilderness together, their dynamic remaining cautiously neutral. Mutual benefit forged an unspoken alliance as they relied on each other's strengths. Spring arrived, accompanied by heavy rains and swelling rivers. Melting snow brought torrents of water that surged beyond their bounds, bringing chaos to the land they knew.
In a cruel twist, torrential flooding separated Davian from Ksenia. Desperation and fear clawed at him as he searched for her amidst the tumultuous currents. He could only watch, helpless, as she was swept away by the relentless forces of nature. His heart heavy with the loss of a companion, Davian faced the harsh reality of survival once again, his solitude deepened by the absence of someone who had briefly shared his journey.
As the tides of fate led him onward, Davian found himself in the territory of Silver Ash. Reluctantly, he joined the pack, aware that circumstances often have a way of guiding even the most stubborn souls. A newcomer to this pack, he resolved to tread carefully, observing the dynamics, making new connections, and deciphering who among them could be trusted.
Yurick
[ Father ]
He was never close with his father, as most of Yurick's energies were put into training his brother. Once he assumed the identity of Davian, he got to see a more compassionate side of his father he never knew and it only made him grow resentful.
Josilyn
[ Mother ]
Dav cared deeply for his mother, and watching her grieve after he faked his death truly hurt. Even with his crimes, it was evident she still cared for him. Keeping his secret was difficult around her, and as much as it hurt to leave her behind, she was the main reason why he had to.
Davian [Deceased]
[ Twin Brother ]
The only one who knew his truth, and it died with him.
Koros [Deceased]
[ Mentor ]
The moment Koros took him as an apprentance, he may as well have been adopted by the older wolf. Every skill that insured his survival was thanks to Koros.
Korzen
[ Travelling Companion ]
Once a friend, Kor abandoned him when he could no longer keep up after injuring his leg.
Ksenia
[ Mate ]
Never again will he let her slip away.
