[Personality]

[Imaginative] [Anarchist] [Academic] [Calculating] [Pacifist] [Self-Concious] [Kind] [Engaging] [Unstable] [Jealous] [Easy-going] [Patient]

Nik is an academic wolf. His mind is constantly buzzing with unexplored ideas. He loves to learn about his world and is a natural improvisor. He's interested in unconvential and ambiguous things and has the patience and desire to figure out how things tick. Especially is his youth, Nik spends much of his time alone, exploring intriguing ideas and studying everything he can gets his paws on. Insects, birds and everything that flies is a particular interest of his. He's a dreamer, viewing the world through creative blinders.

Overly critical of all he observes, Nikolai never fails to question the apparent laws around him. He disagrees with the heriarchy created by his parents, deeming it a dangerously flawed system. Rather, he believes in freedom and a lack of rank for all wolves. He craves the power to put an end to Vale's hierarchy. He is the voice of subordinate wolves, having identified with them all his life.

Nik is capable of extreme cunning and will take calculated measures against others when he deems it necessary. He is especially talented at acquiring information. He has to make up for his physical weaknesses through the use of a sharp tongue and keen intelligence. He uses wit and intellect to overcome prejudice against him. He's rather well-spoken, especially for his age, and is very careful with his words.

Being generally weak, and much smaller than those in his family, Nikolai is a natural pacifist and does not like war, nor the fighting culture of Vale. His opinions and flaws are mitigated to some extent by his family's noble origins, but he's still viewed as a disappointment. After all, the runt was born to two, large, aristocratic warriors. Nik feels as if he's constantly on trial for being the Alpha's weak son. He fears that he will be persecuted for his lack of prowess in a pack where size and skill at arms are hugely respected. He tries not to allow it become a weakness and does his best to use his wits to an equal effect as any warrior wielding his muscle. Yet still, his shortcoming have made him a self-concious wolf, controlled by emotions and heart over logic. He's governed a bit by what others think, and this definitely weighs on him growing up in Vale.

Nikolai is a wolf capable of great empathy and genuine kindness, especially towards those he percieves as helpless to help themselves, or outcasts, like himself. He is always ready to stand up for the "little man". Nik retains a strong sense of humor, and likes to surround himself with like-minded, easy-going wolves. He has few close friends, but gets along well with others and always willing to collaborate. Often times he'll be the first to take the initiative in social situations, doing what he can to provide a warm common ground for the pack.

Nik can be quite moody, and will snap if pushed too far. Especially in his youth he can have a real snarky attitude. Usually he feels guilty about losing control of his emotions. This cycle can be exhuasting for his friends and family to put up with, but he seems powerless to alter these flaws. Nik is constantly comparing himself to his family. His mother and father are brilliant warriors, while his siblings are strong, skillful and energetic pups. He feels he is different, and cannot keep up with the physical demands of his pack. Nik is especially jealous of his brother, Gabriel, as he is the largest of his siblings and heir to Vale.

Nik is unmotivated and rather lazy. He is quite the opposite of a typical Vale wolf, who is passionate and hard-working for their tasks. Instead, Nik likes to go with flow and indulge in slothful behavior like observing nature or going out for leisurely strolls with his friends. He doesn't like to make commitments, and would rather keep his options open. If at all possible, he will avoid strenuous work. He is a true procrastinator and can easily crack under pressure. His gentle nature, however, makes him a great listener. He is patient in his relaitonships and always willing to help his fellow wolf.

[Pre-Group History]

Nikolai is the youngest son of Faust and Ira, the alphas of Vale. Driven from their home in Havir after a meteor decimated the pack, Faust and Ira along with the survivng Havirinas traveled North to reclaim Vale. After a showdown between those loyal to the new queen, Faust was able to revive Vale and chase the corrupt ruling party from the lands. They did not escape unscathed, however. Alar delivered a powerful blow to Ira's stomach, inducing early labor. The parents think this could be responsible for Nikolai's small stature.
