Thornstrike / M / Northern Islands / Retiree

[Geo]

Name: Thornstrike Gender: Male Age: 13+ years (lost track, old for a mortal wolf) Sexuality: Straight Breed: Timber Wolf, Fire Element Pack: Northern Islands Pack Played by: Geo Appearance Thorn is quite a small black wolf with yellow coloured eyes. In his youth his pelt was a vibrant black colour and his fur was soft and thick. Age has whitened his appearance, particularly around his face. His fur is a patchy, exposing many scars obtained from the past battles and is a little matted at the back as his legs have stiffened and appear thinner and frail as if he could be easily broken. He is losing some eyesight and his once yellow eyes are beginning to cloud. His hearing however is as good as it ever was. He has also lost some teeth and consequently dribbles in his sleep. Thornstrikes main power is breathing out flames and being able to create and throw small fire balls. However it is extremely difficult to create even a spark these days but still holds the ability to transport himself through flames(teleport) however this is dangerous as he cannot any more create a fire to exit from. Personality Thorn is a very unforgiving wolf to others and will hold a grudge for a lifetime. He is grumpy and snappy towards his pack mates, not out of spite, but to put up a wall against disappointment as he has grown to see the worst in everybody and situation. Tending to create a miserable atmosphere around him. Because of this he is a lonely old man, although he would never admit that he is and tends to push other wolves away more. He has a lifetime of experience and has grown wise and thoughtful over the years and probably less trusting of everyone because of his family. He is however always been very noble and brave and will still fight if he has too to be loyal to his own pack and his beliefs. Even though he has learnt to see the worst in everyone he believes in giving each wolf a chance to prove themselves good. History Thorn was born long long ago to the Northern Islands. He was the only pup in the nursery at that time and formed a very close bond with his parents, Dawnfire and Turtlestripe. It was around this time that Silentspark had defeated Fleshspark and was currently leading the pack. At six moons he was apprenticed by Nightflame and learned how to hunt, fight and control his fire powers. He was a small wolf alike Turtlestripe though unlike his father he was brave and noble whereas Turtlestripe was jumpy and nervous. Time passed and one day he awoke to find his mother missing from the camp, worried about the Eastern Rock packs reputation he tracked her scent into the woods till it crossed the border, he followed confused until he lost he trail, had his mother abandoned him and Turtlestripe? It was then he found that Nightflame had also disappeared with her. Angry and disappointed Thorn stuck close to his nervous father who didn't take the abandonment very well as he had really truly loved Dawnfire. Thorn tried to help Turtlestripe move on but it was no use as all his father could think about was how he wasn't strong enough or brave enough to keep his mate. The next day Turtlestripe went missing as well, presumably to find Dawnfire. With no other family Thorn trained hard until he was made into a soldier, Thornstrike. He lived his life alone until he found his mate, Ivyshine. An ambush by Eastern Rock left many of the pack dead even Silentspark, and was then succeeded by Blackspark. The ambush resulted in Ivyshine losing her ear and an eye and Thornstrike to carry many scars for life. But they had survived. Thornstrike joined the battle for the compass and Ivyshine had their pup, Needle. At this time Thornstrike encountered his father Turtlestripe again. Turtlestripe was different this time, his powers were stronger and crazed by his obsession over Dawnfire and Nightflame. He was mad and demented, he wasn't his old nervous self, he didn't care what happened to anybody anymore, including himself. Thorn learnt that in the years he had left he had killed Dawnfire and her new son to get back at Nightflame. Turtlestripe after having took everything from Nightflame wanted to return to Northern Islands and to his son Thornstrike. After being abandoned for all those years Thornstrike wasn't about to welcome back a bloodthirsty version of his once father so chased Turtlestripe away from the territory warning him to never return. At the next battle for the compass it was seen that Turtlestripe, with his new dangerous personality had joined Eastern Rock and was killed shortly later in one of the battles. Upon returning Huskeyspark became the new alpha. Later Ivyshine passed away from an unknown illness and Thornstrike retired shortly later. His pup Needle, had grown into a adult wolf while he had been gone and he didn't know him very well, nor had any interest in Thornstrike. It is unknown whether Turtlestripe eventually killed Nightflame, or even if it was Nightflame who killed had him in revenge, but he would have definitely attempted to. Thornstrike grew old, very old and his eyesight deteriorated as he became as frail and nervous as Turtlestripe once was.
