Taiga is a small wolf, with the body of an average, male, adolescent wolf and therefore, is often mistaken as a child. His legs are a bit longer than proportional for his body, making him quite the fast runner and a great hunter. His pelt is a deep, rusty red color with a slight glow that could be compared to flowing lava. It is of average thickness and is quite soft. His eyes are a bright, glowing orange-yellow color, also to be compared to lava. His body is slightly heated, but not exactly. On top of his head, sort of worn like a hat is the skull of a lion. The skull seems to stay on his head regardless of what happens to him. On the left side of the skull is a string of twine natural rocks that have holes in them dangling from the end like beads. His tails, two of them, slightly glow at the tips and both have twine wrapped around them with more natural beads. Around his neck is another string of twine, but this has a pendant of cooled lava hanging from it. He is unaware of where it came from, but that his mother gave it to him before her death. His movements are swift and agile, making him a great runner. He has a heated feeling about him, like he was born from fire itself. His face is often unmoving and his replies unemotional, almost as if he is disconnected with the world.Power:
Three white, ball-ish shaped, floating spirits always surround him as a sort of 'companions'. These cannot do anything, but are merely there. He does tend to talk to them when he has no one else.
Lava - Taiga holds the power of fire. But, despite popular thinking, it's not the fire that many other wolves have.Eyes:
His power comes in two seperate parts, one is when he is unstressed and normal and the other is when he is stressed.
When he is unstressed, he can feel the extreme heat of the earth flowing beneath his paws. He can heat up his own body to burn, but it also runs the risk of burning himself. He may dig many symbols into the ground to heat up the land around him, but this takes a lot of his energy from him and so he only does this under two circumstances: right before spring to melt the rest of the snow, and in an extreme fight in which lives are at stake.
Now, when this wolf is stressed or angry, the glowing color of his iris' envelop his entire eye, his mouth and paw pads begin to glow the eerie gold color as well. With this, he can 'summon' lava pits to develop in the crust or large gysers of fire to shoot up. While this seems intimidating, he cannot properly control where the fire steams shoot up from, so you have a fifty-fifty chance of him missing. Lucky for you, he doesn't get angry or stressed easily and he doesn't like to use this part of his powers because the one time he has used it, it nearly killed him in the process.
His eyes are a bright, glowing orange-yellow color, also to be compared to lava.Wings:
nonePersonality:
Taiga is a very unreactive wolf to most things. He is extremely passive and doesn't take much in stride. He is a hard worker, but he doesn't show his emotions on his face. But when he does show them, he does so almost violently.History:
When he is happy, he will go around basically attacking everyone with a long lick on the face. When he is sad, he will crawl into his den and hide away from the rest of the world. When he is angry... well, his powers take care of his anger for him, so he doens't enjoy being angry that much- unless it's directed towards Shakti.
He isn't that talkative and mostly just sits off to the side, observing everyone and everything that is going on. He will talk to Reo a bit, but not a lot. The wolf he talks the most to is Shakti.
Shakti is his rock, and despite their love-hate relationship, Taiga knows that he couldn't stand the thought of Shakti leaving him. And so comes to light of their twisted relationship. Yes, Taiga snaps at the older wolf often, but deep down he knows he has fallen for the brute completely- too bad he doesn't want anyone knowing that. It may make their relationship complicated, but it works for them.
Our tale starts before Taiga and his siblings were born. Freya was a simple fae, and she was wooed by a wolf of many colors and powers- Talisman. Sadly, he was chased from the pack after she conceived their children, and she never got to see him again.Other:
Inside her womb were four little pups- Taiga of the Southern Flames, Sibir' of the Western Waters, Jaguar of the Northern Lands, and Esinti of the Eastern Skies.
Giving birth to her litter of four pups put a lot of strain on her body, and before she passed away, she gave each of them a necklace and told her best friend Rheak to make sure they were taken care of.
Rheak took them all to another land, far away from the pack that had chased away their father and raised them. Each of them were different in their own way, and he taught them each to embrace that difference, as it would set them apart from the rest of the wolves. He often fought tooth and nail to keep them safe, and one time, it cost him his life.
He came back with a large injury that just couldn't be healed and soon was infected. Rheak knew his time was near and he told the wolves he had raised and watch grow to go out and make their own lives.
He died two hours after they left him.
-
Taiga didn't know where to go, what to do. So he headed in the direction he thought best, South. He traveled through many lands, often getting picked on for his smaller size.
One afternoon, he spotted a group of rogues attacking a small fae who was helpless and couldn't get away from them. He grew angry at their ignorance, and soon the stress and anger got to him and he created large lava pools that swallowed some of the brutes whole and the land became so heated that it ate their bodies up in flames. He passed out soon after.
Waking up, he saw the burnt landscape and he also saw the frail body of the fae. She was untouched by his flames and lava, but instead was brutally mauled. He had been too late to save her. He buried her in the fresh ground, knowing that she would be the spirit behind the new growth of this land.
He continued traveling, during which, he kept meeting up with a wolf by the name of Shakti. Though he hated the attitude the wolf presented, they became mates.
Now he searches for a home in the lands of Aelyn.
He is one wolf in a set of four Shamanic wolves based on the directions of the earth: North, East, South, and West. He is the South- fire.Parent Description:
Mother - Taiga's mother, Freya, was a beauty. She had a silky white pelt that seemed to shimmer in the moonlight. Her eyes were a crystaline blue that made the sky envious. Her body was smaller than the average female, and her tail and legs were slightly longer. She was born powerless, a trait she gained from her ancestors, and never gained powers.Mate: Shakti
Father - Taiga's father, Talisman, was a large Shamanic wolf. His black fur and gleaming purple eyes made him feared among his fellow wolves. Along his black fur were markings of the colors of gold, dark green, aqua, light blue, and a transparent silver color. He was gifted with five powers of fire, earth, water, air, and spirits.
