Role Play

Personality:
Calm and easy going most of the time, his hackles only generally get raised in response to mischievous or reckless behaviour by the younger elves of the holt. Although a calm and gentle soul, if forced is a fierce and powerful warrior, though he does his best to hide this. He's also wary of the trolls and humans. He often acts as a counselor to the chieftess and any other elf who asks. He's a very passionate elf who enjoys romancing his lifemates, especially on warm, dusky evenings by the calmer river pools.

Recently he seems to be trying very hard to mend relationships with all the people he cares about, especially Firemoss and his sons, Wolfstrider & Clover.

Treasures:
Spear head from his first hunt, Nightbloom's pendent, Darkthorn's bracelets, Smoke's necklace and two pelts from previous wolf-friends, new spear with braided wood hilt given by Clover.

History:
Duskwater has lived ever the full Wolfrider life! Recognition first struck early when he was but a stripling returned from his first hunt and soul name search and he and Nightbloom found themselves quickly lifemated. Two turns of the seasons later, their he-cub, Dagwood, was born. However, a long life was not meant for mother and cub as Nightbloom contracted the foaming sickness from an infected animal and died shortly after Dagwood's first handful of years.

Dagwood was misfortunate in his Recognizing extremely early, too - even before he had found his soul name. Terrified, the cub did not tell anyone for fear of ridicule and forbade his Recognized mate to tell. In a haze of pain from Recognition denied, he threw himself from the top of a cliff. Duskwater was crushed.

Recognition again struck with Chillwind around the time his facefur was growing in. By the birth of their son Wolfstrider, they were happily lifemated until her untimely death, several decades later, while she was hunting. The pain of his lost lifemating has eased greatly with the love and support of the tribe.

His most previous lifemating was with the quiet and wise Evenstream, her temperament like that of her name sake. She and Duskwater complimented each other perfectly and life was again good. Evenstream died from a fall from a tree yet Duskwater was more easily consoled this time as she had lived a full and prosperous life.

Difficult weather that sometimes causes poor hunting made him learn while young how to fish in the rapids of the canyons near the holt. This has unfortunately almost cost him is life several times when he was swept away downstream while being careless. He has always survived the bruising and continues to take such risks in order to provide for his family and tribe. As tribal elder, the Chieftess often consults with him and his word is always listened to with good measure.

Several turns of the seasons ago, Duskwater sought to win the love of Firemoss, an old friend of many years whom he had admired. His quest to be with her led him to consult with one of his closest friends, Nettle. The two went on a quest to the trolls to find the perfect gift for Duskwater to present to Firemoss. After a dangerous journey and a hard bargain, the pair returned victorious with a lovely knife for Firemoss. That evening Duskwater gave it to her in front of the tribe, proclaiming his love for her. Firemoss agreed to be his lifemate but then Recognized Nettle mere moments later. Understanding that Recognition strikes seemingly randomly he fully embraced Firemoss in their lifemating, happy for her to have the cub she's always dreamed of. The two stately elders are now treeing in Firemoss' den with Clover, the cub they will raise together.

Balancing a life full of teaching and storytelling to young Clover, and any other cub who will listen, has been difficult. While he worked out this balance, his relationship with Firemoss was a bit strained at times. But they have worked out their difficulties by sharing more of their daily chores and rituals. Things had been going just fine between them until the chieftess Recognized outside of her lovemating with Rock and Dreamberry. A despondent Rock left the holt and Duskwater went with him. Someone had to keep the fool cub from getting himself killed.

Upon returning to the holt with Rock, Duskwater has felt the tension his long unexpected absence put in his relationships. He seems unsure of how to handle it. At the moment he is trying to just be there for his family to try to prove he is worthy of their trust and love again.

Wolf-Friend

Name: Shadowchaser Sex: Female Age: 14 Rank: Mid

Markings:
All black with one hardly visible white spot on the chest. Yellow/green eyes.

Personality:
Shadowchaser is an active wolf. She loves swimming and is quite adept at catching her own fish from the shallows. She spends much of her time with the pack and delights in hunting small, fast moving prey. She has become a bit more aggressive lately as she has risen some in the pack. When she's not with the pack, she can often be found frisking energetically in the river with Duskwater or sleeping on the shore.

Having returned to a much smaller pack, Shadowchaser has fought hard to maintain her position is a bit more aggressive because of this.
