Zephyr Swiftpaw

[Zephyr]

Your character's full name: Zephyr Swiftpaw
Age: 28
Species: Wolf
Gender: Male
Allegiance: Neutral
Appearance:

Zephyr is a large, very well built wolf with long, snow white fur and big dull yellow eyes. He almost always wears white pants without a shirt and a golden earring on his left ear. most think that he wears this earring to enhance his "bad beast" appearance, but it actually was his brothers who, along with the rest of his pack, was murdered by a villainous wolverine and his horde of vermin. he wears it as a symbolic reminder of his hatred towards the wolverine and his vow of revenge he took so many seasons ago. the only marking that Zephyr has is a large x shaped scar on his chest, but most don't notice it because his long fur covers the mark. when he still lived in the land of ice and snow he had sharpened his top two canine teeth to give him a more ferocious appearence.

Belongings:

Zephyr doesn't carry much on him. he may have a small duffel bag with some food and supplies if he is making a long trek from one town to the other. He carries one weapon which is his pride and joy. A giant scimitar the size of a claymore with a rare black finish in contrast to his all white coat and pants. he is able to wield the large weapon with one hand very easily and can perform stunts such as spinning the blade around his body and throwing it high into the air and catching it by the handle with one hand. some say that it was his pack chieftains sword before he was murdered by the wolverine and his horde, others say that the badger lord of salamandastron had forged the blade for him, and some even believe that he simply took it from an enemy he killed. no one really knows. Zephyr keeps it a well guarded secret. he takes great pride in his blade and often can be seen polishing it.
the only other items he has are a soft cloth and a special polishing liquid given to him by a river otter named Scottie Waterdrop.

Job or Position:

Zephyr doesnt have a job. just wanders from place to place seeking food, and any information about the wolverine that killed his pack

Personality:

Before he moved to the lush and friendly lands of Mossflower
his personality resembled that of any typical vermin. he didn't mind killing just to prove a point and thought all beasts were inferior to him. if you gave him respect he might, or might not return the favor. if you didn't give him respect than you would be a dead beast. he couldn't take a joke very well and the jokes he told were usually harsh and hurtful. although he has always had respect for skilled and proven warriors, good or evil. Though This was the only life he had ever known. living in the hospitable conditions of the land of ice and snow for much of his youth, where stealing and killing were a way of life and sometimes necessary to survive will do that to a beast. but after his pack was murdered by a wolverine warlord with a horde of vermin, he left the harsh conditions of the land of ice and snow at age 19 for the lush and friendly region of mossflower. to seek better conditions and revenge. but spending seasons in the friendly environment of mossflower and the land around it, Zephyr started to take a personality curve, now at the age of 28 he has made a considerable change. now he actually pays for meals and lodging instead of freeloading from house to house and village to village. and he makes friends much easier. but he is far from a saint. he still carries an arrogant and cocky attitude, and still cant take a joke very well. although once you warm up to him, and he warms up to you, he is a cool beast. One noticeable thing about zephyr is that on the battle field he has unparalleled stamina and will power. he can take multiple hits and still wont stagger. He has a motto that he tells him self if he starts to get discouraged in battle "I WILL not die, I CANNOT die, I WILL survive to fight another day!!!. he will never back down, and really hasn't yet learned how to back down.

History and Background Information:

Zephyr SwiftPaw was part of a small Pack of 8 wolves that Dwell in the land of Ice and Snow. As far as the pack knew, they are the very last of their kind. one Early Morning Jeriah the Grey Coat, Leader of the pack, ordered Zephyr and a young wolf named Thormoor to pack rations and search for a place to relocate camp more suited for the upcoming harsh Northern Winter.....After 3 days of searching with no avail, Thormoor threw in the towel and headed back to camp, But zephyr decided to continue on for another day searching... A decision that saved his life. The next day, sensing that heavy snow was on the way and unable to find decent shelter, he decided to turn back. Not far from camp zephyr smelled the unmistakable odor of fresh blood. Peering cautiously over a hill he saw the dull red embers of a dying fire.
And a scattered assortment of bodies belonging to rats, ferrets, weasels...and his fellow pack mates. Bounding over the hill he raced to his fallen comrades. The only one still alive was Thormoor.
But with multiple wounds zephyr doubted he would linger through the hour. Thormoor told zephyr that a horde of vermin led by a nightmarish wolverine that went by the name of Krieger the Axe had attacked the camp. Those that resisted were slain. The 6 that didn’t were forced to join the tyrant. Zephyr stayed with Thormoor till his last breath
From that day forward zephyr made a vow to rescue what was left of his pack and avenge the deaths of those who had fallen that day......................
