Becoming Cade

[+Cade-]

Name: Cade
Origin/Meaning: From Welsh origin, meaning 'Spirit of Battle'
Pronunciation: Kayd
Alias: Caden, 'You', Cloudy-eye or Cloud; some have called him 'baron' repeatedly.

Gender: Male
Age: Six

Clan: Anatu
Position: Head hunter

Element: Water
Skills: Two greatest attributes are justice and intellect. Water provides strength and healing, and seems to move at Cade's will. Nothing dramatic such as cyclones or whirlpools, but simply trickling forth or drawing back from his command.

Species: Gray Wolf
Appearance: General figure is nothing impressive. Muscles are well developed but not intimidating; in fact, they hardly lend shape to his body. Paws are wide, black claws worn, and fur a slight bit thinner than most. Built for agility and power with flexible joints and density. Height is average, taller than most females but shorter than most males. Fur is gray-brown, the colors speckled together. Eyes that grant him his nickname are an opaque whitish shade. This color doesn't cover his whole eye, but surrounds the pure black well-defined iris. The 'black' rims of his eyes are actually navy blue, and the darkness around his ears is the same dark blue.

Quote: A defining quote from this character
Sanity: Has a firm grasp upon his thoughts and mind.
Personality: Skills are average, though Cade possesses a mind that analyzes most everything. He can hunt and defend himself adequately, but will not go out of his way looking for trouble. However, once some idea permeates his mind, some scheme to gather something he wants to have; he is unstoppable. Personality is generally friendly or awkward, having been a solitary wolf for nearly four years. Cade's methods of interaction are a little rusty, but he is a fast learner. Friendship interests him more than a mate most of the time, but he won't object to advances. Laws are important to him, if he agrees with them. Strong feelings take a long time coming to the brute, and he's mostly an in-between, calm sort of mood. His age, older than the average wolf at six years, permits him to have a reasonable mind. As much as his intellect is a strength, the color of his eyes is a weakness. Because they are so bright, sunlight blinds him.

Mate: None. Hasn't met a female with the potential.
Offspring: None. Doesn't expect any either. Only alphas should breed in his opinion.

Father: Deceased
Mother: Deceased
Siblings: Deceased
History: His past is nothing remarkable; his birth pack was his home until summer of his second year, before he had turned two. Then, the alpha removed him forcibly from the pack for fear the intellect Cade possessed threatened his dominance. Cade had no such intention to take over, and left his family grudgingly. Later that week, as Cade still hung around his ex-pack's lands, his family was attacked and slaughtered by a rival pack. There was no longer a reason for him to stay, then, and he escaped the invaders by being a loner. Sometimes he wonders if the old alpha knew, but it seems unlikely. He set out and survived as a scavenger and small-game hunter for four years before becoming an Anatu wolf.
