PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:
Art (c) me
Height: 28 inches
Weight: 55 pounds
Fiver is a rather skinny and small male, not only because he's a runt but because of his lineage as well. He inherited his family's physical features: large ears, short fur, and narrow build. This allows him to hear extremely well and run for long periods of time; however it is to be noted that Fiver cannot smell. Due to his inability to keep himself clean and free of odor, the stench overpowered his poor sniffer over time. Most of him smells like rotten meat, mud and other assorted scents (AKA, death) he'd gathered along his travels. A bath would cure this problem, but Fiver hates being in contact with water--unless with someone he trusts. It is a little known fact that the young male possesses a light golden coat - if one takes the time to wash off layer after layer of mud. His short fur also makes him vulnerable to even cool temperatures and he will become easily ill during the winter seasons.
Past and Present Health
Physical Health: 85% (forever capped)
Fiver's small stature has never gone unnoticed. Being skinny and fragile, he looks as if a simple gust of wind could tip him over. It is partly due to his anxious tendencies and also because he was just built that way. He was the runt of a litter in a land fraught with drought and famine. All the wolves there were already small in size. He just happened to be born smaller and weaker.
Mental Health: 75% (forever capped)

Mental Health: 75% (forever capped)
Unable to relax and push away his worries, Fiver lives in a world of constant fear. At any second, he could die. He treats everything as an immediate threat and thus sticks to his paranoid self. It takes a great amount of gentle and patient coaxing to get Fiver to open up. One misstep could send him running for the hills.
Past Illness and Injury:
- Tear to left ear (healed)
- Sides pecked by turkeys (healed)

Skills
Sight:
Fiver can see perfectly well, even if his long mane gets in the way sometimes.
Hearing:
Due to his long ears, Fiver's hearing is probably his best sense. He can pretty much hear anything if he focuses enough.
Smell:
His ability to smell is practically non-existent. He can't smell anything unless it is amazingly strong and pressed right up against his nose.
----------
Hunting:
While his confidence is limited, Fiver actually has a good knowledge of hunting, it being his best skill. He strays from hunting larger animals; however, smaller critters better watch out because Fiver will catch them.
Healing:
Never having one healing lesson in his life, and probably not having the mental capacity for it, Fiver knows little of the medical aspects of the pack. The three herbs he knows are poppy seeds, cobwebs, and honey. Nothing more, nothing less.
Fighting:
His skills in fighting are significantly less than what he has in healing. The thought of a skinny little thing like Fiver fighting, even sparring, is laughable. He would be crushed instantly. Because of this, he stays far, far away from anything that might be considered violent.
----------
Speed:
Probably one of his greatest skills, Fiver is quick on his paws. He can't really hold his top speed for long, but he is fast like a cheetah while he still has his energy.
Stamina:
Fiver has some stamina, although not as much as he does speed. His muscle mass is severely depleted and he isn't as fit as he used to be.
Strength:
Fiver has none. Simple as that.

PERSONALITY:
Art (c) me
- Selfish
Fiver only trusts his instincts for he has been taught no other lessons. The goal of any species is to survive and he is no exception. He'll do anything for himself, by any means to get it, and rarely takes others into consideration. Nothing out of him is usually in good intention. He has recently learned to share, though; however, he only feels comfortable in doing so if it's with someone he trusts.
He could very well pass as a pig and not a wolf; his love for food has become more than an obsession. Any chance of eating he takes. From past experience, the young male knows that it could very well be his last meal. It's also to be known that it's fairly easy to bribe Fiver with food.
Fiver hates meeting new faces and talking to them much less. At any loud noise or sharp tone, he'll flee to the nearest bush. In fact, there really isn't a time when he is out in the open. He'll only show himself if he needs something to eat.
Thinking the world is out to get him, he often over-thinks every minor detail in one's behavior and tone. Anything one does around him will be quickly observed, recorded, and held against said individual. This makes it hard to gain Fiver's trust and easy to break it; prying him away from being skeptical is a long and hard task.
He isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, probably close to the dullest. Although paranoid and skeptical, Fiver generally takes things literally. He still retains some of his innocence and child-like thought process despite roaming the lands alone. And because of this, he'll believe anything said by those he trusts and respects.
Much like being paranoid and skittish 24/7, he can get afraid and upset quite easily. It isn't unlike him to cry or shake in stressing matters, although he hates to do so in public. He has never fainted before, but it could be a possibility at some point.
Fiver can be extremely protective when it comes to the things he loves. The most important about this aspect of him is that he his incredibly food-aggressive, meaning he'll protect whatever food he has claimed until the very end. Of course, this can extend to individuals he deems his friends; however, that would be a very big step for Fiver.
Probably the most noticeable aspect of Fiver is his unkempt fur and repulsive scent. Indeed, it is true that Fiver hates cleaning himself; he never pays attention to it. Most of the reason comes from his lack of smell, and he always wonders why others shrivel their noses at him. Besides this questioning fact, he never spends a moment not rolling around in the dirt.

- Unhygienic
Probably the most noticeable aspect of Fiver is his unkempt fur and repulsive scent. Indeed, it is true that Fiver hates cleaning himself; he never pays attention to it. Most of the reason comes from his lack of smell, and he always wonders why others shrivel their noses at him. Besides this questioning fact, he never spends a moment not rolling around in the dirt.
Comforts
- Food
It is a well-known fact that any morsel of food--whether big or small--will immediately bring Fiver peace. Granted, he can become highly possessive of food bestowed to him, but it still makes him calmer.
- Mud
There is something about rolling around in filth that Fiver enjoys. Probably because he cannot smell, he doesn't find the revolting odor to be a downfall of his unhygienic habits.
- Loved Ones
The only social interaction that Fiver is completely calm around is his friends and family. He only puts immense trust in those worthy enough, although said trust is also easy to break. Still, he loves nothing more than to snuggle up beside his mother or father.
- His Bush
Fiver has one location in which he doesn't stutter or freak out as much--his bush. It is ultimately his most prized possession after food and family. He is extremely protective of it and will not stand any form of harm dealt to the plant.
Fears
- Physical Contact
When it comes to wolves he doesn't know, Fiver can be extremely sensitive to touch. Any sudden movements around him can cause the timid male to be anxious and paranoid. Anything considered too rash will not go unpunished.
- Water
Fiver does not like water. Plain and simple. Unless with his adoptive parents--and even then its a challenge--he will never concede to getting his pelt wet.
- Starvation
Due to his obsession with food, Fiver hates to be hungry. It is the worst feeling of all. The simple rumbling of his stomach will trigger this fear, as he knows all too well what its like to nearly starve.
- Turkeys
Ever since the Great Turkey Attack during his time as an apprentice, Fiver cannot stand the mere sight or sound of a turkey. He refuses to hunt them. To him, they are the scariest creatures on the planet.

HISTORY:
Fiver was born in an isolated place, Kinage Desert. Not many wolves besides his family resided there; in fact, not many other species made this land their habitat. It always was in a state of turmoil, whether it be drought, famine or - in most cases - both. Year after year, the Kinage pack was subject to these unfortunate events and it barely could care for its adults, let alone offspring. The alpha, Fiver's maternal grandfather, had to make the tough decision to rid his pack of the weak. They wouldn't survive the harsh summer months anyways.
His mother and father unwillingly though obediently let go of their youngest son and threw him into the arms of Mother Nature at the ripe age of two months. He struggled to survive at first, but his little mind gradually begin to accept the realities of the harsh world. He found himself stealing from whomever and ate whatever. Fiver learned to never trust and to never let another come into contact with him.
After only a month of traveling alone, Fiver wound up inside the Pack of the Intrepidus. His mental stability and social skills had basically ceased to exist from the rough treatment he faced in the wilderness alone; he isn't about to give up his survival instincts. It will take him great courage to overcome his personal obstacles - that or a brave individual to help him through this transition.

RELATIONSHIPS:

Friendly and Trusted
THEME:
If There Hadn't Been You - Billy Dean
Next to Vulcan, you are indubitably the closest wolf to me and I don't know what I would do without you... I trust you, respect you, and love you more than ever. I promise I'll be the best hunter for the pack!
THEME:
My Dad - Paul Petersen
You're back... but for how long? My heart yearns to spend time with you and act as father and son should, but my head tells me to not get used to seeing your face. It makes me scared... not necessarily of you... I can't quite describe it... I love you dearly and you still do no wrong... I'm just... scared.
You are very loud... I don't know what to do with you.
At least you aren't as loud as Cormac... That makes you cute, I suppose...
You are loud and feisty like Cormac... Oh brother, what am I in for...
You are my very best friend in the pack, Avery, the one I feel the most comfortable around besides my family. I am somewhat nervous, as the last time I let my heart out to someone in this way... well... I lost them forever. Please don't let me down.
You have shown me good will through the many meals you give me. I have to say your presence has always been a pleasant one and I won't forget the kindness you've given me.
It has been a while since a stranger has been able to earn some trust from me. I know I'm not the most... stable of wolves, but you are patient and seemingly concerned for my well-being.
Whatever reserved feelings I had about you are gone now. I feel like there's a lot to learn from you, as you seem knowledgeable with the ways of the world.
Neutral..... Kiilua | Friendly acquaintance | Chief Sleuth II
You were polite and kind, although I did get quite alarmed from hearing you go on about that horrid loner. I... don't like loners. You probably noticed that. Just try not to get so hurt next time...
..... Octavia | Unsure acquaintance | Pup
While I must say you are much calmer than most of the pups I've met... you do talk a lot. I hope your dreams in becoming a hunter are successful. I'm a bit biased, but I do think its a great rank to have.

I didn't mean to make you sad. I just don't like you licking my face and following me...
Feared and Disliked
..... Elise | That devil woman | Scout
None of your encounters have been pleasant. I suppose you're just someone I will avoid from now on.
..... Thistle | Somewhat betrayal | Chief Hunter I
I... I thought you were my teacher... Where have you gone? I showed you my vulnerabilities and thought you were the one to help me with my confidence... I suppose I put my trust in the wrong wolf...
..... Sarai | Wary of | Hunter
Dear sister... I know why I wronged you, but... I never thought it impacted you much... I'm just scared... of everything. Please don't yell at me... I don't know what to do now...

..... Springsteen | Adopted kin
I know we never talked much, but... you were Vulcan's family and I'd do everything in my power to make you happy. I'll... try to do as you told me.
