Role Play
Personality:
An emotional worry wart with pessimistic tendencies, Slingstone has often blamed himself when things have gone awry when he was involved. In recent times he is struggling to face his greatest fears and open up to those who are important to him rather than run away. He is learning to say nothing rather than distress those he cares for; choosing to remain silent and reflect rather than vocalize his own inner torment.
Likes: Hunting, running, elderfish hunts and spending time with his lifemate and son.
Dislikes: Humans, his poor ability to communicate his feelings, criticism. Seeing his mate and son in emotional distress.
Outlook on Life: Time can cause even the most selfish soul to grow with wisdom.
Treasures:
Cubhood sling, fisher cat pelt from his first successful first hunt, his necklace made by Harmony and a troll-made spear he found on his peace quest. Also guards a single dose of foaming sickness cure obtained from the trolls.
History:
Slingstone was an emotional child who was easily upset and had a surprisingly hot temper. His temper led him to his times of wanting to be alone and recoiling from others in his life. He used to scream and cry when he was too little to join the Hunt; his Hunt blood strong even in his young age. He taught himself how to use the sling at an early age. Once he was satisfied with his own skill he announced himself Slingstone to the tribe and insisted that he be allowed to join the Hunt. All this before his first hunt had taken place. He impressed the chieftain so much that he was allowed to hunt that night proving his worth as a hunter and tribesman.
The problems began even before his official first hunt. His mother was not happy with his choice of weapon and didn't think that his choice in a name was good enough for her son. She often contradicted him and told him he should take up a noble weapon like a sword. After some time he did take up the sword and pushed himself at learning how to use it. This pleased his mother but his father supported his name and weapon choice.
His first hunts proved to be troublesome and less glorified for him than when he took his name. He went through three first hunts before being successful. This stung his pride even more than his mother's disapproval. His first hunts ended in various disasters which caused a number of the tribe to label him as a jinx. This caused him to become very pessimistic. He believed that when something went wrong it was all his fault. He had a tendency to blame himself for all the bad things that happened around him.
He never took a mate until Harmony Recognized him. He fell so deeply in love with her that he has no desire for another. For a short time he was happy and content with his new found love. His temper and attitude became noticeably cooler when he became lifemates with the calm clay shaper.
When Harmony was pregnant with their son Mystic, he devised a romantic meeting between them. Unfortunately, on the way to this meeting Harmony was attacked by humans. Harmony and her wolf-friend killed the human before Slingstone arrived to protect her. The incident shook the calm clay shaper very much. Slingstone fretted over the attack and blamed himself for what had happened. This caused him to pull away from his love, which exploded in an internal battle of self-guilt when his son Mystic was born mute.
His own self-guilt lead him to never grow close to Mystic. He was always there to protect mother and cub but was unable to surpass his self-blame and thus lingered in the background, having a tendency to snap a lot, even at those who cared the most for him. Reconciliation came unexpectantly upon the death of Harmony's sister when his family suddenly needed his support more than ever. Searching through grief and guilt, Slingstone finally pushed through and found a source of inner strength, using it to approach and reach out to his son. In that single moment Mystic knew his father didn't hate him. Similarly, when Harmony left the holt to come to her own terms over her sister's death, Slingstone followed her and further healed the couple's bond. He has come a long way in repairing his family and father and son now share quiet hunts together.
