Darwin
featuring more bite now than ever in his youth
Name: Darwin
Age: 9
Gender: male
Rank: fighter,
resisting elderVoice: low, raspy.
Personality: Darwin has a good sense of humor. That's how you best live in the moment, after all! He is perfectly willing to make a spectacle of himself by chasing his tail and falling flat on his face if it got a few laughs from cubs.
Despite his friendliness, he is also quite serious and stern.
Physique: Darwin's muscle mass is beginning to decline with his age, and he may be one serious injury away from retirement. It may be that elite males are stronger than him now, but Darwin can still be competitive with them.
He has a rather patchy coat of blacks, grays, and whites. White hairs pepper his snout and are beginning to spread towards his eyes and cheeks as he ages.
History: Darwin was not born from
Pelikoria, biologically-speaking. However, the man he is today
was fostered by it. He takes pride in the pack, and continues into his later years to protect it and keep it safe under the rule of
Iorek. His and
Kyro's sudden passing is of a great personal loss to Darwin.
In his youth he was not thankful for the things he had. Darwin fell into a trapโa common trapโof greed and glutton. He was always on the hunt for more. More food, better territory expansions, more females. His deepest regret was hunting far from those he had, and slowly watching those dear to him vanish from his life. They have been mourned, and Darwin actively tries to be better man now than he was years ago.
He resists his age as a limitation, and instead accepts it as a
strength. He wants to teach and mentor, and remain close with those who welcome him into their life. His selfish desires are few; perhaps
too few, as his life was not for himself any longer. He has entirely lost sight of any of his own personal needs, and puts others before him. And so, though his face is one of wisdom and confidence; it could be he is far more insecure than he realizes.
He is afraid of loss.
