1. Pre-Bleeding Souls History1.1 Early LifeBorn "Dreamer" to a small pack located around what used to be Alaska, Slay was the alpha's firstborn male and groomed to take over some day. His bizarre markings were unlike any in the clan, a throwback to sled dog ancestors from before the apocalypse. Because of them, he was revered as the moribund bloodline's savior. The pack, so steeped in old traditions and superstitions, refused to breed with any outside of their family, and the generations of inbreeding caused many unstable luperci. Slay was born with the condition of narcolepsy, living up to his given name of Dreamer. His father, the pack leader, went insane a few short months after his son's birth and would not let him leave the den for anything. Months of being trapped in the darkness left Slay claustrophobic, as well as distrustful of dark-furred luperci like his sire. Because of the small space, Slay does not transform, even though his bloodline left him Luperci Ortus. The virus was one of the changes his tiny clan fought so hard to resist. After enduring endless raving about becoming alpha and being responsible, Slay refuses to take positions of power. He escaped his father and the pack during an avalanche, and has wandered as a loner since. He is self-conscious about his appearance, and it can be the easiest way to anger the otherwise laid-back male. He is an incorrigible flirt, but generally does so out of a need for attention, rather than actual desire. Because of his narcolepsy and other such issues, he had never been in a serious relationship, and has issues with trust and dominance. 2. 'Souls HistoryHe wandered to the lands just after the fires, finding a chance to start a new life along with all the wolves that had lost their homes. Meeting with Cercelee and Colibri Soul, he became one of the five founding members of Dahlia de Mai along with Mew Sadira and Susquehanna, and took the co-rank of Head Hunter. Haku Soul came to DdM, replacing Colibri and making Slay terribly uncomfortable. His close friendship with Cercelee made him fear the new leader, and for a time he largely disappears, wandering the outskirts of the land. DdM fights a war with Inferni; Slay refuses to take part, and only re-emerges when the dust settles. By then the pack is once-again dwindling in size, and Slay wrestles with the idea of recruiting new members to please Cer, or keeping it small and comfortable to his own liking. He still misses Aniketos, but finds friendship with Mew Sadira and Cwmfen Nic Graine. He debates the merits of trying to shift, but still shies away from the new concept. New members such as Sankor Koios and Ril'o join; Slay becomes uncomfortable with Cercelee's familiarity with them, combined with his mixed feelings about Cwmfen nic Graine, and gets in a fight with the Rosea. After storming off in a fury, he is calmed down by none other than Susquehanna, one of the original five that founded DdM. Not realizing that Hanna too is developing feelings for him, Slay returned to Berwick and made Cercelee his mate. Life has become easier for the former loner - monogamous life suits him better than one would first assume. However, fate throws him a curveball in the form of puppies: Catharsis de Sadira and her four littermates are dumped at their doorstep for Cercelee to raise. Slay likes children, but didn't feel ready for his own, and is unsure how to react to this new development.  Packmates 2.1 Pack FoundingSlay was the first male of Dahlia de Mai. He's proud to have been a founding member, but it makes him jealous (and sometimes even snobbish!) towards new members he doesn't get along with. Because he's close with the Rosea, Cercelee, he gets away with it. 2.2 Life in the packSlay has it pretty easy. He is DdM's Head Hunter, but rarely pulls his weight in the pack. Most of his time is spent sleeping or socializing... He shirks his duties on every level. He feels uncomfortable being in any position of power, so he doesn't try to get promoted at all. In fact, after his disappearance during the war, he was demoted almost to the bottom of the pack, and it was only through his leader's friendship that he wasn't kicked out entirely! Since then, he's gotten a little better at keeping up appearances, but still, he doesn't help out much. 3. PersonalityMost of the time, Slay is very laid-back and flirtatious. He would be happiest surrounded by women, but alas, life is not always so kind. Around almost all men, particularly those older or of higher rank, Slay is withdrawn and anxious, and looks for ways to avoid talking to them. ((This is because of his father's abusive history.)) Around the ladies, well, he likes to come up with clever nicknames and show off his vocabulary. His happy side has been likened to both Ayame of Fruits Basket, and Captain Jack Sparrow of Pirates of the Caribbean fame, although these comparisons are unintentional. Slay does, however, tend to bottle up his serious feelings, and has been known to release his anger in destructive ways. 3.1 InitiallySlay began his RPing career on Neopets, in a small private guild called Mijarae. There, fantasy characters were welcomed and encouraged, so his backstory and talents were more exaggerated back then. He was a seer, able to see visions of natural disasters. His character was much more carefree, only angst-ing when he had a premonition. Old quote: "Alas, m'dovely, it seems you've tired of my self-absorbed company. Parting truly is such sweet sorrow - but fear not, for I can always be found! Wherever the living is easy and the femmes are pretty, I won't be far behind. Ah ha ha...if only it were that simple. I am always wandering, though - living my life, day by day, moment by precious moment. After all...isn't that the best way?" 3.2 LaterWhen he came to 'Souls ((thanks to Kiri)), his story was adapted to edit out the fantasy elements. Since he's older than most of his packmates, he complains about being single a lot, and takes life a bit more seriously than he used to. He's also more cautious when it comes to fights. He used to be the sort to show off his scars and swagger a lot.  Slay in the sky! 3.3 Love InterestsCurrent MateCurrent Crushevery woman lol Past MatesNone! And no illegitimate puppies, either. He's clean! Past CrushesHe has some history on Neopets, where he was first roleplayed - Tenova Eclipse, Faint Whisper, Shan Tia, and Amiokie are all listed as official crushes, although he's flirted with more... ((Curious? Here's his old crappy petpage: http://www.neopets.com/~slaying_the_dreamer_ )) He also used to like Iskata Sadira and Cwmfen nic Graine!  An adoptable from Neopets... 4. Abilities, talents and skillsHe's good at fishing, and knows a fair amount about hunting animals. He's talented at falling asleep during awkward moments, like when talking to Firefly Sadira. 5. AppearanceUm... Drowsy? 5.1 Luperci FormsSlay is capable of shifting, but never has. He's too claustrophobic.  Marking reference Lupus
Pale blue eyes, heavy black and white marked coat. Broad-chested and wide-pawed to denote diluted husky blood. Has white forepaws, black hindpaws, and a black-tipped tail. Secui
Optime
5.2 StatureHe's a big guy! His build is wide, heavy, muscular - he could totally pull a sled if he wanted to. He doesn't usually act his size, though, meaning he's not very physical. He's never tried out his Optime form, but he'd totally be gigantic if he did... 5.3 EyesVery pale blue, almost clear when he gets upset. Usually bleary, since he's always sleepy. 5.4 ScarsNone visible, surprisingly. He's managed to stay out of trouble in that respect!  Art by Katie 6. Notable Threads:6.1 'Souls threads
