P e r s o n a l i t y___Othin is a brave and powerful Sentinel. He is a skilled and selfless fighter, undoubtedly willing to give him life for his pack. Around pups he is gentle and affectionate, but when dealing with older Xholi's he has little patience and is quick to mock their mistakes. He was considered for pupsitter because of both his great stature and the way he treated pups, but he desired to be a Sentinel and was considered more useful in that field either way.
An independent Xholi, Othin does not obey orders well, and can be unreliable. He prefers to listen to his instincts, as well as snatch up opportunities to show off. He is also easily frustrated, and can sometimes get a bit sour. His packmates avoid him in these times because of his intimidating size and sharp tongue.
Othin is very observing and careful when alone, and often goes out to patrol the territory alone or with one other Xholi because he is able to handle himself well... and also because he does not coordinate well with others in larger groups. Sentinel is a serious position and Othin understands that, he is a skilled leader but too low ranking to be trusted with that sort of power, advancing in his position is unlikely again because he is a terrible follower.
When not working Othin does enjoy fooling around, including playing games and acting frisky in general. He is no longer as skilled in games as he was when he was a pup, but instead has developed his fighting skills and physical strength as a Sentinel. He is mocked by younger Xholis who still are skilled in winning in the unproductive games that Othin occasionally participates in.
Othin could have come out spoiled and selfish as his parent's did attempt to baby and spoil him, being their first child, but because of his independent nature the only negative effect his parent's behavior had on him is that he feels that he can act based only on his own desires, which isn't too bad since he desires to be a useful and valued member of the pack.
H i s t o r y_________From an early age Othin was brave and curious, handling himself well as a pup. Though his parents were frustrated by his lack of obedience and how aloof he often was, they were proud to see their pup so strong and independent.
When Othin became a yearling, he bravely faced the wild, undaunted by the animals and extensive territory he faced. Though he lacked refined actions and precise movements that Savants look for in Hunters, the patience and scavenging skills to fit in as a Gatherer, and as mentioned in his personality had no desire to be a pupsitter. He was a perfect Sentinel Apprentice instead.
His Savants worried about him, as he did not reliably obey his commands or fulfill his given tasks, but more reliability came with age as Othin matured into a beautiful young Xholi.
Still a bit of a pain when organizing patrols and trying to fulfill specific tasks because of his forgetfulness and tendency to ignore orders, Othin must deal with the occasional scolding even as an adult, though he remains unchanged in his ways.
P o w e r___________Othin as a pup and early as an apprentice ha trouble discovering a way to take advantage of his gem position. He considered using the gems on his legs to run faster and swim faster, but he did not find any way to boost himself with water.
Othin finally developed a specific thing late in his Sentinel training as an apprentice when he and a couple other young xholis were racing eachother. As they ran towards a stream with Othin in the lead but the others closing in, he had the grand idea of trying to use the water to slow them down.
When his back paws hit the ground on the other side of the stream he focused his powers on making a wave of water to splash his friend's faces as they leaped across, it worked and they stumbled and struggled to get across for a moment, and Othin was plenty far enough ahead that he won the race.
Since then he has been developing that ability and using it both in playful races and to escape from aggressive animals.
When outnumbered he can taunt the enemy into chase and after hitting them with the initial wave he can whip around and continue fighting with the upper hand and the enemy struggles to focus and adjust themselves.
He can jump rather far and is able to jump across small rivers when he does this, which sometimes is enough alone when faced with less agile animals.
Othin's first wave attempt, small and weak compared to current day waves. F u n . F a c t s_____- Othin has an underbite
