Species:
Hoektand (Meaning "Canine" in Dutch) - A new species of canine evolved. Canines with abilities. No one is sure on how they became a thing but before anyone could question anything, soon, the world was filled with Hoektand. They were all around the place, powers threatening and intimidating anyone who came near. These canines had certain abilities though and could only have one which included: Ice, Fire, Poison, Storm, and Regeneration. Soon enough though, Hoektand became more advanced and got even more powers, much more powerful and detailed when it came to the powers.

Affiliation:
Die Vreemdelinge (Meaning, "The Strangers" in Afrikaans)
Occupation:
Guardian
Appearance:
Eden is considered large on the Hoektand size spectrum. He stands at around 37.2 inches and weighs almost 160 pounds. The large male sports a medium coat when in shedding season and and a long, abundant coat in the winter. His large coat is a combination of fine silky hairs and down fur that insolates and keeps him warm in the winter. His belly and his tail is were his fur is the longest and progressively shortens when you reach his back area. His leg length is about medium height, but due to his thick fur and exceptional muscle, they look rather large. Adding onto the fact that he is a large male, his build is firm, which makes him a force to reckon with if this male decides to hurl at a canine at full force. His paws are larger than average, which is good essentially for a guardian in battle but can lead him to become clumsy; so he's not the best hunter.
This male owns a striking pelt that is a gorgeous variety of color including different shades of brown, black, and slight gray. He essentially shares the same coat with his father though, but the only difference would be that his fur is long while a his father sported a rather short coat. Adding onto his exotic coat are his vibrant eyes. They are crystalline; almost enchanting yet absolutely haunting, with the color of a faint, glowing blue which can gleam at the brightest of jewels if he decides to do so. Like his species name states, Eden's fur tips seem to have a cream tint, and looks as if he could vanish within the dark shadows if he really wishes to. His ears are erect and prop up upon his head, making his hearing exceptionally well for a Hoektand. His nose is a similar color to his coat, making it hard for anyone to see his nose from a distance and looks as if he owns no nose. Luckily he does have one and helps with every-day things that Eden must accomplish.
Personality:
This male is relatively distant; but not in a cold-hearted way. A more better word to describe him would be reserved. He doesn't normally start a conversation with another canine unless it was needed to, but other than that he is seen as a quiet male that roams amongst the pack. He is not shy by a long shot, since he enjoys the company of others, but seems to have a golden rule of "don't speak unless spoken to". The large male is mostly seen observing everything from afar when he isn't being picked for patrolling or hunting. He is also seen mostly in the elders' den, and enjoys the time spent with the older canines, and helps with comforting them and keeping them entertained rather than just doing nothing. Though the main reason for his appearance in the elders' den is because his mother, Lucia, is an elder. He loves to greet her every-day and brings her a trinket of some sort that he finds whenever he is out and hunting or patrolling. This male can be clingy once he has someone that he can trust, which can be a pain to others but the male can't help himself.
He is also a patient male, and can easily be seen as a good mentor, personality wise that is. He can be rather clumsy when it comes to hunting, which is his downfall for ever becoming a mentor. His calming nature can be seen as being weak, but don't be fooled. He stands for what he believes in and will fight for it. He isn't a push-over and knows how to say "no". He is a trust-worthy canine, one that is willing to do anything to prove his loyalty to anyone. One of Eden's downfalls is that when it comes to love he becomes timid. This subject is particularly something this male finds hard and due to that his confidence is low in this category. He will always find a way to put himself down, and doubts himself at times. So if he ever finds a lover he would be reluctant and awkward towards the canine in question, which wouldn't be so good and others can see this as him ignoring them and he could loose his lover's attention and trust right there and then. Another downfall is that this male takes mourning to a different level. When a canine dies he confides himself, and becomes quieter than usual. He can be like this for days, weeks, and even months. When his father had died he had mourned for 3 months before he became more like himself. Though still till this day, canines may see male tom sitting down and staring down at his huge paws, which is his way of mourning.
Attacks:
Many say that Eden is the most powerful Hoektand in history in this is why.
La Mordida (Meaning, "The Bite" in Spanish but it also has another meaning which is bribery) - This attack is something which passes down from his family. It's genetic and very rare to find, mostly recessive. Eden was born with it but still had to train himself. La Mordida can do all sorts of things, especially with Eden's type of protection and power.
Frost Bite - Front canines that freeze at the touch of flesh. Debilitates the enemy, causing immediate frostbite in their skin. Capable of ripping muscle. - Eden uses this whenever he feels threaten but tries his best to not use it much.
Freezing Breath - The opposite of a fire breather; wolves that harness a freezing breath can huff out icy air that can be cold enough to freeze blood, if close enough to the enemy. Very rare. Can turn canines into a frozen statue in the proper temperatures. - This is very difficult for Eden to use and the power to do this usually comes upon him when he is in a life threatening situation.
Flame Spin - Body turns to flame; reference fantastic four. Using great force, flames appear on the ends of this canine's fur, causing harm to canines close enough to feel the inferno. Extremely temporary, practice can elongate this ability's use for up to 30 seconds. should be used as a last resort. - Eden uses this often but it really tires him out. He practices and trains a lot though and his flame turned blue from all that he's mastered.
Flame Breath - Ability to huff out an extremely hot flame for a few seconds at a time. Good for up-close attacks, or hunting, to roast or scorch the enemy. Extremely rare ability. - Eden uses this a lot, probably his most used move. Although it only lasts for a few seconds, he mastered it so well that his flame turned blue as well and it can last for at most five seconds, the highest that a Hoektand ever mastered it being seven seconds.
Venom - Fangs that contain venom. Easily poisons the enemy, though useless in scavenging, as biting into prey will contaminate the meat. Rare, not of much use. - Eden rarely uses this. He finds this as an honourless and cheap way to do anything, prefering to keep his pride. This attack is looked down upon in Die Vreemdelinge.
Strengths:
+ Great Endurance.
+ Very quick.
+ Really strong.
Weaknesses:
- Very emotional which affects his attacks.
- Lacks in agility.
- Hesitates often.
Backstory:
Eden was born in the middle of winter along with two other pups. His parents are Lucia and Luxen, both were guardians that had little to no experience when it came to becoming parents. So Eden and his littermates was the two guardian's first litter; and it was their last. Only a few days had past before Eden's siblings had died due to the season being to harsh for the pups. He himself had been on the verge of dying as well, but luckily he was under the watchful eye of the healer after his parents had rushed his tiny body to the healer's den. From there he began to flourish into a rather large pup. Once that event had passed in his life, he continued as if nothing had ever happened. He didn't blame his parents for his near death experience, it was just bad timing is what he had always told himself.
A year later; the next winter, his father had passed away due to an illness. That had stucked the male tremendously. He began to not eat as much and started to become skinny. It was to the point were his mother had to step in after a few months had passed to help him move along from his fathers death. The attempt was successful, and his weight and personality returned eventually; at least most of it. Eden still felt like as if a part of him had died along side his father. What would feel worse than the pain of loosing his father would be if his mother had died as well. So to make sure his mother wouldn't leave him anytime soon he checks up on her daily; bringing her food to share with whomever elder decides to join his mother for a snack and objects that had been left in the rubble that seemed interesting.
Relationships:
Mother - Lucia - Alive
Father - Luxen - Deceased
Siblings - Two, both deceased.
Mate - None
Crush - None
Best Friend - None
Rival - Gabriel - Gabriel and Eden never got along well. Gabriel came from a strict and very powerful family line where everyone who he was related to was the alpha. He had learned, mastered, and gained powers all his life and was very strict about his ways. He is jealous when it comes to Eden though since he didn't even try or do anything special to gain his kind of power while Gabriel did everything he could to do so.
