Basics

Lupus: Average height, whip-thin, and long-limbed: Kronin has the distinct look of an adolescent still growing into his body, no matter how old he gets. Malnourishment at a young age will keep him from ever fully growing into his full potential height, no matter how much he could attempt to bulk up. His knobby frame is swathed in utterly plain shades of brown, cream and russet, befitting his coyote background. Murky red eyes and dark chocolate markings cover his shoulders and hips; unfortunate nods to his father's appearance, though there is little he can do to change them. His body is littered with small scars and nicks, but nothing of note, other than a tuft of fur on his right shoulder that doesn't grow in the same direction as the rest. Though he is lean, his muscles are strong: he is a lot more powerful than can be imagined at first glance. When he bites, he has no intention of letting go.

Optime: Kronin tries to spend as little time as possible in this form, when the choice is his (and oftentimes it isn't). He used to pretend that he was having trouble shifting between forms in order to stay on four legs, but as he grows older, that excuse becomes more and more implausible. He keeps his hair short in this form, though often neglects cutting it for as long as he possibly can - as such, his hair is often in his eyes or curling up at the base of his neck. Kronin's posture is almost eerily neutral, designed carefully to detract notice. Though currently unadorned, he prefers clothes that are tighter to his body, such as long-sleeved shirts and trousers. Later, when he grows to be more humanized, he will often choose clothing with a large hood to safely secure his animal companions within.

Humanization: Low. Kronin rarely, if ever, wears clothing at this current time, and knows very little about pack life or the kinds of technologies that it brings. He prefers to stay as canine as possible when on the road.

• Independent: Kronin enjoys to support himself and make his own decisions, without the help or influence of others. He considers it a point of personal pride to be able to take care of himself. This does not make him a bad team player; he’ll go along with a plan if it seems like the right thing for him to do. The difficulty comes when he has to relinquish any part his own independence - and thus his ability to freely move - for the sake of group betterment.
• Withdrawn: When given the chance, Kronin prefers to stay on the outskirts of a group. His low self-esteem makes it hard for him to reach out to form strong bonds. Being naturally extroverted and anxious about being left totally alone, this behaviour only serves to stifle him more as he grows older.
• Smart: Kronin is quick to pick up things, and learns through watching. He’s not the type to ask many questions and would rather figure something out by trying it himself, rather than discussing the theory behind it.
• Untrusting: Especially of male authority figures. Kronin has basic level trust issues that make it hard for him to form attachments. This often leads to a sense of hyper-independence, and aggression when forced to put his fate in the hands of others. He has episodes where he may hoard foods or goods from others, worried that he won’t have enough for himself. He has no qualms against lying, and does so often to avoid being controlled.
• Ambitionless: Having spent so long just trying to survive, and after months of being convinced of his low worth, Kronin has very little idea what else he can be reasonably good at. He’s often confused when others offer to teach him new skills, and has a difficult time judging his actual ability level.
• Aggressive: Often without meaning to be. Kronin has a poor sense of how physical he is, both in play and when provoked. This can lead to unintended injury. The physical language that he grew up with is a poor litmus test for normalcy. He feels quite horrible about this when it’s brought to his attention.
• Somatic symptom disorder: Kronin experiences phantom ulcer-like pains in his abdomen, which started as part of his traumatic upbringing. These often arise in periods of high stress, and lead him into periods of anxiety-based fasting and general troubles with eating. These pains rarely last for more than a few days.
• Affinity towards animals: Kronin cares more about animals than he cares about other wolves. He doesn’t have to worry whether or not they’ll break his trust. His relationships with animals help him to relieve a lot of his anxiety and natural need to socialize. He will collect a small menagerie around himself as he grows older.

Sexuality

He’s too young to know!

Spirituality

Kronin doesn’t believe in any sort of higher power, but would be easily susceptible to joining some kind of cult or religious group (especially if lead by a female leader). The boy’s got a lot of pent up self-hate that repentance would do a number on.

Substances

Never tried any substances, and the smell of cigarette smoke just makes his stomach curdle.

Strengths

• Cooking (Journeyman): Despite Kronin's various eating problems, he actually enjoys the act of making a good meal. He's very good at cooking something simple on the fire, and can normally harvest a decent meal out of carrion, leftover scraps, or anything half-rotten. He's had little experience with real ingredients.
• Strength (Journeyman): Brief description on interest level and training.
• Strength (Accomplished): Brief description on interest level and training.
• Strength (Master): Brief description on interest level and training.

Weaknesses

• Sickly: Kronin’s stomach ulcer issues make his ability to commit to something tricky, especially if the obligation is months away.
• Unpredictable: He makes for a poor battle partner; one day he can be too afraid to fight, one day he’ll be so aggressive that he can’t stop himself. In those moods, he won’t stop throwing the last punch until he’s physically dragged off his opponent’s body. A better wolf than him would be able to rein this in to make him a fine soldier; a worse wolf... well, everyone’s got their aims.

March - August 2020

Kronin, Rayln, and Vaermina travel throughout the land, doing what it takes to survive. Multiple fights ensue between Kronin and various loners. They barely manage to survive, what with hunger, exhaustion, and plain old back luck. The sudden sickness of river fish leave the group at the brink of starvation come summer. Tensions run high enough that the group decides it best to split up before they have to brave the fall together.
