Description:
Rawr. D< Shakun is a bright, fluffily white color, and his fur is very thick and white. His eyes are bright blue like two clear drops of water. He's tall and bulky and seems like he should be slow, but he's surprisingly fast for his size. He's not super fast, just surprisingly fast for his size. It's often an advantage because it's surprising. Something like, "Wow, I didn't know that boy had such long hair!" It's just a kind of realization.
Beliefs
None.
History:
Muuuur. I finally decided to type this stupid thing up and get it over with.
A long, long time ago, before Shakun was even born, there existed a pack of gods and demons in the Arabian desert. They killed and ravaged as they pleased, threatening all creatures around them to the point of extinction. The humans... the wolves... barely anything stood in their way. Years later, a new pack moved into the vicinity and threatened their so-called "peace". They were a pack of angels and healers, part of a species created by the gods to keep the peace in the world and create balance between evil and good. Needless to say, the Deadwill pack wasn't exactly privy to the company of the Regency.
Tensions rose and most of the killings stopped while Deadwill focused all of their might on trying to drive out the Regency. As hard as the Regency tried to keep the peace between the packs, they couldn't find a solution to keep the other pack from attacking. Then one night the Deadwill pack proposed an idea. They proposed sending one wolf from each side to the border each night for a month to see if they could get along, and if they did there would be peace. So the Regency sent their beta, not expecting that the Deadwill was plotting against them. The Deadwill sent one of the daughters of the alpha named Alcippe and set her with the task of seducing the beta of the Regency, named Synester.
They met, and well... fell in love. At first they bickered constantly, but then things settled down and he took her as his secret mate for fear of falling away from the pack. Well, the Dead will pack exposed them for what they were(dumbasses D:<), Before they were ripped apart, Alcippe revealed the weaknesses of a few of her siblings to Synester, who took it to the monarch of his pack in an attempt to make good. He got a lecture on keepong the peace, got his powers stripped, and everything. After that, the two pack broke the tension by declaring all-out war on one another. It also turned out that Alcippe was pregnant. She was allowed to have the pups before her punishment. She was allowed to see them once before... her demise. Her punishment was to fight her father, and her mother whispered his weakness in her ear to make it a fair fight. She almost killed him, but in the end death won and Ealdræd took his daughter's life. The Deadwill pack kidnapped a female healer from the Regency and forced her to play nursemaid to the pups.
Shakun grew up learning the songs and littanies and language of the Regency. He was bitter and felt he didn't belong amongst his siblings. When he was a little older, he managed to sneak away from the nursemaid's watch and was caught by his grandfather. He told the pup of his past and told him his fate belonged to neither death nor life and laughed about it as if it were his own private little joke. When he was one, he began training to kill. When he was four he escaped the pack with a few of his siblings and wandered for a few years. Eventually he found his father's old pack and was given a chance at salvation if he could prove himself. Shakun willingly failed the test. He faced his grandfather and was given the scars on his cheeks for his insolence. He had his wings and power stripped by his uncle Callistus and left after stealing his grandfather's archaic helm.
He wandered for many years before taking a mate. However, when he began to feel again he left and wandered again, eventually providing services(get your mind out of the gutter!) for Odin, the God of the between. He ferried souls to the Between, the resting place before the next life began. It was hard to listen to the stories that the souls told him, but eventually he hardened himself and listened with an open ear. He provided as much constructive criticism as he could and finally Odin rewarded him with a strange armor and released him from his term of service. Odin was a kind God, but Shakun had always resented the hold that the Gods had over his race. He traveled to Nozomi and found himself caught up in a war.

Personality:
I have one word for Shakun, and it is dead. He is almost completely emotionally dead in every way. Oh, he can fake emotions and he’s pretty good at it, but that’s the most he can manage most of the time because of his laziness. He does feel emotions occasionally(he usually gets mad when he does). He gets in really moody moods, too(OMG like a girl! Not really!) And is a very prideful wolf. Wow, so many sins rolled into one wolf(D: This is one angel that may never earn his wings!) While ferrying souls to the world of death, he learned to become emotionless so that the scenes of despair that he saw would never affect him again. He's very stubborn and tends not to be the easiest wolf to talk to, but underneath it all he's a really great wolf.
Likes:
Trees. Grass. Rocks. Pine cones. Not you. Wood to chew on. Rambling about his soul-ferrying adventures. Muttering pointless things. The weather. Being safe. Coming up with great comebacks.
Dislikes:
Feeling emotion(not feeling makes him feel safe). Idiots. Tyrants. Rapists. Cowards. Stuff like that.
Powers:
This may seem somewhat psychic, and it is. He can read other wolves' minds and communicate into them. Only wolves that have learned to block their minds off can block him. He can also create flashes of light in the mind of the other wolf to confuse/blind them, but it usually does the same thing to him, so he doesn't use it.
Spirits
This is the power that Odin gave to Shakun out of purest pity. He gave him the power to see and hear spirits, but not to communicate with them. Really it’s more of a curse than a blessing to him, which is really quite strange. But anyways, Odin had pity. OMG. : D So yeah, Shakun is kind of like a male Valkyrie.
Weaknesses:
Elemental(‘cept for fire).
Affliction/torment/torture.
Making him feel.
Other: His mother was a goddess, so he has an extended life.
