adoptive parents:Sephtis Van Denend was Narkissos' original adoptive parent. She took him in when she had just became an adult, and while she was obviously far from perfect to anyone else, she was perfect in Narkissos's eyes. She'd often call him "Nark" for short, and would take him with her whenever she was traveling. He got to see the world, giving him a love for traveling and a dislike for having to stay in one spot for too long, and she would often teach him stuff on the fly. Some of it was obvious stuff you'd learn, but she also taught him stuff you wouldn't learn in a normal school, like lock-picking and self-defense. He loved every minute with her, and while he didn't always know what she was doing for her job that had her constantly traveling, he never asked. He trusted her too much for that. Perhaps she should've been more careful though, because she didn't take as much time to teach him right from wrong, probably because she didn't really follow society's rights and wrongs either. He was picking the lock to someone's home, intending to see if they had anything valuable for him to steal. He wasn't careful enough though, and the wolves who owned the house were home. They called the police, who caught the startled pup and took him in for questioning. They wanted to know who his parents were and what he was doing, and they were threatening to get him arrested. When he called Sephtis, being careful not to mention her name and use her special phone number just like she told him to so she wouldn't get tracked and identified, he explained what was happening. Septhis was panicked and didn't know what to do. She couldn't go herself, because she would probaby get arrested. But she couldn't leave her adoptive son there. So, she did the only thing she could think of. She called her brother and begged him to join the fray and get her little boy out of there. She was crying and said that she didn't care if she never got to see Narkissos again, she just wanted him to be safe and knew that he would be able to do that. And so, Deimos joined the fray.
Deimos Van Denend came into Narkissos' life when Narkissos got in trouble with the law. Narkissos had no idea who this wolf was when he arrived, but somehow he convinced them to let him go, and so he went with them. Deimos took him home, and on the way, explained that Sephtis hadn't been able to take him home herself because she was already in trouble with the law. Narkissos refused to hear any of it, and so Deimos gave up trying to explain, instead explaining to the pup that he was Sephtis' brother. He took him back to his house, and explained that Sephtis was going to have him take care of Narkissos. Narkissos cried for one of the only times in his life, but Deimos wouldn't budge and said that Sephtis had made him promise to do it, so that Narkissos would be safe. He called Sephtis herself to have it confirmed, still crying when she told him that Deimos was telling the truth, and promised that she'd come see him whenever she was allowed. Narkissos doesn't see Deimos as an adoptive father. He sees him as his adoptive uncle, and doesn't get along very well with him. He doesn't like the fact that Deimos doesn't want him seeing Septhis, and thinks Deimos is too strict and too nosy. Narkissos does his best to not have to interact with Deimos, whether that means hanging out with friends till late at night or staying in his room. Deimos checks in all the time to make sure he's not slipping back into old habits, and this seems to annoy Narkissos even more than the other things Deimos does. All in all, they don't get along well at all, and it's a wonder Deimos even keeps him. After all, he doesn't like Sephtis, so it's not like he's doing it for her sake.
how do they feel about their hair ?: For the most part, Narkissos really likes his hair. The hair on his head he finds extremely attractive even though he doesn't do anything to make it look good, and seeing as it covers his eyes he finds that it helps with keeping secrets, lying, and just avoiding eye contact in general. Not to mention it lets him get away with sleeping in class easier. His tail hair he also likes, because he thinks it looks cooler than some of the tails other wolves have. However, he does have some issues with his paw hair. Often times it would get in the way when he was trying to pick locks, making it harder. It also is inconvenient for him just when he is walking around, because it gets tangled and caked with mud all the time. Not to mention stuff just gets stuck in it so easily. It's quite frustrating for him, but he deals with it anyways. This is partly because Deimos wants him to cut it Narkissos wants to do the opposite, and partly because he does like it somewhat. Narkissos doesn't really appreciate other wolves who go touching his hair though. It's not that he outrightly states it, but he'll begin to get easily annoyed with them and often times his mouth will show he disapproves. If you could see his eyes, he'd probably express it with them too, but since the hair hides them that's out of the question. He actually can see through his hair, although he likes to give the impression that he can't sometimes to be silly with girls he likes. Only other wolves that he trusts - certain family, close friends, crushes - are allowed to touch his hair. It's not necessarily a trust issue, it's more like he just doesn't like it being messed with. He has to be able to at least tolerate you if you want to be allowed to touch it.
