Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Howler
Gender: Male
Species: Grey Wolf
Temper: Watchful
Likes: Fresh meat, clean cool water, running
Dislikes: Being chased, Overprotective Soquili, rain (Fur isn't light when it's wet.)
Mission: Get a Basket away from the other Soquili.

About: Howler's a very Quite sort. but just cause he's quiet doesn't mean he doesn't know what's going on. He watches others, listens closely. He much prefers learning about a situation before deciding if he wants to get involved with it or look for something elsewhere. The only exception to this is when his Alphas give him a Direct Order. A Direct Order is how he came to the Soquili lands looking for a Basket in the first place.

Quiet and usually calm, he acts like most wolves. He hunts his food, he stalks about in the shadows, he scouts a territory to call home and protects it from other wolves, but the life of a lone wolf is not the one he particularly wanted or enjoyed. He'd suffer it though, in the interests of bringing his mission to an end, one way or another.

History: Howler used to live with a pack of other wolves on the edges of the lands where Soquili resided. One day, his Alphas spotted a strangely-colored horse leaving their territory, crossing over into the Soquili Lands. Curious about the strange coloring, The Alphas sent Howler to find out about the Soquili.

Howler, not wanting to disobey an order from his Alphas, left the pack following the strange-colored horse. One of the first things he spotted in Soquili lands were Mares tending to colorful baskets woven by the resident humans.

He'd seen baskets before, but he couldn't figure out why the Mares were doting over the things. He'd been trying to sneak off with a basket of his own ever since, in order to find out what makes these baskets so special. He's too afraid of the Mares tending the baskets to go up and ask them, and the Stallions are even more frightening if they've got a basket near by.

He's quietly watching, hoping to find an abandoned basket somewhere he can drag off away from the other Soquili. So far getting a basket for himself hasn't been easy. He's been chased off and nearly kicked by protective Soquili and humans alike for trying to steal a colored basket, but he dosn't like failing when his Alphas ask him to do something, so he'll keep trying until he gets one.

Plottings:
What's Inside? - Howler has been placed on assignment by his pack to find out what's inside the Spirit-Horse baskets, his solution? Steal one! (This plot will come into play once I obtain Tempest)

Howler's pack, now knowing why the baskets are guarded so well by Spirit-Horse mothers, are no longer interested in them, and want to eat the young one, but Howler, something in him says he needs to protect the little Spirit-Horse, and so he does, only to be excluded from his pack. At least he has the Spirit-Horse...

Uh oh, Tempest's growing up, and getting attention from her 'friends'. since Howler's raised her he's as protective as he would be over his own pups about her going off with some stallion, no matter what they say they're going to do. He's not ready to lose his daughter, no matter how unexpected she was.

Tempest's starting her own family, and Howler's eagerly awaiting being a part of the new basket's lives after putting so much energy into raising Tempest.

Howler's Pack is curious about the baskets and scraps they find on the edges of Soquili lands. they smell Soquili on the baskets, but can't figure out why. Alphas send Howler to investigate.

Howler Enters Soquili Lands!

Howler discovers that previously pregnant Mares and Stallions protect the baskets. that explains the smell of them on the remains that get blown in his old pack's territory, but why?

In attempts to find out (several times) what's inside the baskets that the Soquili protect, Howler gets beat up a bit by the various Mares and Stallions for getting too close to baskets.

Howler decides if he's ever going to complete the mission, he needs to steal a basket. Planning to steal one begins.
