Auger de la Croix

Overview

1.  Appearance

1.1  Basics

Essentials

• Species: Auger's dog heritage is most apparent. He inherited very little of his mother's coyote traits.
• Fur: His fur is thick and shaggy with a brindle pattern from his Akita genes.
  • Optime Hair:
• Facial Features: His snout is the bulky sort that Malamutes and Akitas have.
• Build and Size: While not the tallest dog around, Auger is broad-shouldered with a dense, muscled, stocky build, and his thick fur increases the look.
  • Lupus: 110 lbs (50 kg) & 28 in (71 cm)
  • Secui: 150 lbs (68 kg) & 41 in (104 cm)
  • Optime: 200 lbs (91 kg) & 5ft 11in (71 in/180 cm)
• Humanization: He sometimes wears a necklace with three blue jay feathers on it, and carries a bag. He otherwise finds clothes to be mostly uncomfortable and itchy, so he rarely wears anything else.

• Education and Learning: Auger grew up on the trail, learning about horses from the day he could walk. Since he couldn't shift yet, under the close eye of his parents, he learned how to herd them without getting hurt. When he did shift, they taught him how to ride and take care of the horses.

5.  History

5.1  Overview

Pre-Souls

Allers de la Croix, Auger’s father, was one of a few de la Croixes who traveled as part of a small group to trade goods, searching for rare and valuable items to bring back. A trio of coy-dogs, including Grail, joined the group during one of the trips when they were out west. Grail's job was to take care of the horses of her little group. She and Allers eventually became mates and started a family.

Auger was born on the road, along with his siblings, Flack? and Nairn?, Before shifting, he learned about horse care as well as body language. He got familiar with the animals. After shifting, he was able to actually practice the grooming techniques and learn to ride. They spent most of their time traveling, and visited Portland several times, where the youngsters were able to meet their cousins and extended family. Auger much preferred to be on the trail, though.

Eventually, his parents decided they wanted to settle down and stay in Portland. Auger decided to continue trading. He joined up with another small group of traveling traders, one of whom was named Tybalt Cormier. Auger learned about Krokar, the pack that Tybalt’s family was part of, as well as what Tybalt knew about the area. Tybalt taught him a little about fishing as well, and helped Auger improve his trading skills.

On their way back to Portland on one of the trips, their group decided to stop for a night at a little outpost. He awoke in the morning to the sounds of a commotion from another campsite nearby. A high-pitched yelp of pain had him off the ground and running over. He found one wolfish canine roughing up a small coyote while another wolf appeared to be trying to steal an overly fancy looking horse.

Auger charged forward, chasing off both of the attackers. Then he turned in time to watch the little coyote faint. Auger managed to keep his head from hitting the ground, and after quickly checking over his injuries, he started packing up the coyote’s remaining belongings. He had far too much to be traveling alone, and Auger wasn’t surprised that he had gotten attacked. When the coyote woke up, he immediately though that Auger was stealing from him now, but his injuries meant that he couldn't stand up long enough to do anything about it.

It took a bit, but Auger finally talked him into coming with them to Portland and learned that his name was Notch. When they arrived, they learned that Tybalt's family's pack had disbanded, but Auger was more worried about finding someone to take care of Notch. Once he healed up, they set off again as part of a small trade caravan and over the next few months they grew closer. Auger repeated Tybalt's stories of packs at 'Souls, and so the pair decided to set off in that direction to see what they could find.

Loner

During their travels through Nova Scotia looking for packs, Auger and Notch ended up mired in a swamp where they were helped by Santiago Tejada. Following this, they decided to join up with him as they formed a loner band because it seemed safer to have a group with them, rather than just the two of them. The group faced challenges together, including attacks from wolves, which served to bond them together with another Loner Band of coyotes.

Del Cenere Gang

The Drygrass Posse joined forces with The Cartel and formed a new pack called Del Cenere Gang. With the pack formed, Auger and Notch got to work helping to make their new territory feel like home. They started out staying in the hotel while Notch looked at the options for their houses. At the same time, they got to know their pack mates, working with them to do things such as check out their newly claimed territory, ensure the safety of the fields for the livestock, and even gather materials to build up Charmingtown. The two of them also went with a small group to collect horses left behind when Inferni disbanded.
