Cloudburst
With a base coat of white and shades of black and silver, Cloud isn't the most exotic looking wolf out there, but he is quite handsome. For starters, black covers his form like a blanket. It wraps his back from the base of his skull down to the fringes of fur on his hind legs, draping down his sides as well like a saddle. Without breaking, his black markings stream down the sides of his neck just in front of his shoulders, where it envelops his underside and sweeps across to envelop the entirety of his stomach and underside of his tail, as well as the fur on his elbows. He has pure black socks on his forelegs, and black hindpaws that gradually fade into a grayish silver. His ears are black, while the inner ear fur is a dirty looking off-white, almost cream colored. His muzzle bears the grayish silver hues as well, as it the front of his upper and lower jaw, where it then rises up the bridge of his nose until it darkens right between his brows. Lastly, the male has a single black marking on the top-side of his tail, and two black brow dots that sit above eyes of silver (left eye) and gold (right eye).
Cloud is somewhat of an oddity when it comes to personality. He is curious about the world and those within it, wondering how things work and why. Despite his curiosity, he isn't the type to go sticking his nose into things or other peoples business. He observes from a distance, observes in silence as the world moves around him. He doesn't exactly feel the need to get into other people's business, and he's never really gotten the urge to meddle in the affairs of others. Unless of course, it involves his own family. He is a quiet soul, not really one to speak unless spoken to, however, when it's just him and someone he's close to then it's a whole other story. His personality becomes more outgoing when he's around those he has formed a close bond with. But around strangers, or those he doesn't know very well, he becomes reserved and almost...robotic, in a sense. He's quieter around others, less animated. He's not sure why he acts that way, but he doesn't really question or wonder it. He just knows he's different than those around him.
Cloud is the type to generally keep his mouth shut in most situations. Save for when it comes to his family, or again, those he considers close to his heart, of course. He's extremely protective of his them.
One key reason in particular that Cloud once chose to stick as close to his brother as possible was because when he was near Ty, he felt more...normal. You see, Cloud inherited some of his father's schizophrenia. While it may not be as severe as his father's, he still has it in some form. His mind is plagued by a single, violent voice. Cloud genuinely fears this voice, and he never knows what he's going to do when it starts whispering. The voice mostly seems to come out when Cloud is hunting, or when he's in a highly stressful situation where fight or flight are the only choices, and when he succumbs to the voice's will, he becomes extremely violent. Cloud goes on a vicious rampage and there's no telling when it will stop. He turns into a monster, unrecognizable by those who happen to witness it. Luckily for him, he hasn't harmed anyone else but his prey...so far. He has managed to get some control over it, though potentially not enough to keep from hurting someone if they so happen to cross his path during these episodes. Cloud still fears what might happen if he loses complete control. He doesn't know how to comprehend this, and so he tries his best to keep it under control. And over the years, he's had plenty of time to do this, though not without difficulty. When Cloud succumbs to the voice in his head, he "blacks out." He doesn't really know what he is doing during the time he's lost control and doesn't remember what happened when he finally comes out of it. He's working on that, but he finds it very difficult when he's fighting it alone. While he may not be the most "normal" of his siblings, Cloud has some decently good qualities about him. He's capable of being loyal to those he has come to trust, and those are very far and few in between. Once upon a time, his brother would have been the one to get his loyalty freely and without question. But since Ty's abandonment once again, Cloud decided that if he didn't matter to him anymore, then he wouldn't get a shred of loyalty. So now, Cloud's loyalty is up in the air, though it would be given to a pack provided he trusted them enough. He is indifferent when it comes to others he is not related to, and unless you're one of the select few who has somehow managed to be a big part of his life, then he doesn't really care what happens to you. He won't fall to pieces if a fellow pack mate has died, or if something bad happened to someone that he had previously met. He has his own life to live, and to spend time and energy worrying about others, isn't worth it to him (unless as previously mentioned, you mean something to him). While he is indifferent and has a sort of detached manner about him, Cloud has been known to help others in need. Quietly, of course. He's helped strangers from avalanches, helped in random hunts, and has even fought alongside complete strangers. He's selfless, though he won't admit it. And while he tries his damndest to keep others at arm's length to keep himself from getting emotionally hurt, he can't help it. It's just who he is. All in all, he's practically a white knight doing selfless acts, even if it means he gets hurt in the process. As he gets on in years, Cloud craves some form of normalcy in his life. Though he still finds it difficult to trust and still tries to keep others at arm's length, he yearns for someone to love, and for them to love him back. |
