nikolai
MY HEART IS LIKE AN OPEN HIGHWAY, LIKE FRANKIE SAID I DID IT MY WAY
{ name } nikolai
{ species } swift fox
{ gender } reynard
{ age } four years
{ loyalty } the novelle
{ orientation } heterosexual
{ power } this reynard possesses the ability to change his own pheromones in order to warp the emotions of others around him. he can decrease said emotions, increase them, or cut them out entirely. he uses this ability to soften moods, create diversions by causing arguments and fights. as well as just keeping everyone at length. he makes sure that he doesn't abuse his power, or overwork it. the kinks still need to be pushed out, as sometimes.. he's not exactly sure what he's doing. however with the ability to morph others emotions and change them, he is a particularly strong minded fox. even if others think he isn't.
{ height } 12 inches
{ weight } 7 pounds
{ build } unlike other vulpines of his breed, nikolai is quite the muscular fox. strong legs, large paws. wide shoulders, and a decent weight to throw about.
{ coat } nikolai has thicker fur. not a whole lot thicker, but definitely longer than some others. the colour standpoint-however is the same. the greyish tan colour that is found on his haunches and face. pale yellow fur that stretches from his neck to his stomach. beige otherwise covers his entire body, apart from the dusty grey tan colour that also stretches up his back.
{ eyes } his eyes are rather narrowed. devious, rather chilling. with his deep amber eyes, he seems able to look through you, to the truth and lies that you've told him.
{ other } nikolai has scars patching his chest area, the side of his face, and even his tail.
{ likes } being on his own, peace and quiet, arguing on some occasions, showing others his strength, keeping himself calm
{ dislikes } being taunted, lied to, cold weather, hurting someone else, being hurt by someone
{ strengths } staying calm, taking a beating, being able to throw his weight around
{ weaknesses } becomes angry when lied to, falling in love, or becoming close with someone weakens him, makes him feel the need to protect the said person.
{ hopes } he dreams of becoming someone people look for, for help, or anything. he also dreams of being able to come to people, to open up.
{ fears } he fears dying, whether it be himself, or someone he cares for. his other fear is being unworthy of someone higher of him. he fears not being important, not being able to do something.
{ habits } digging his paws into the ground when he's getting annoyed.
{ secrets } nikolai holds a few many secrets inside of him, many that he does not like drifting around the gossiping lands. one of them being that he let someone's meal, someone who he hated, go. as in, nikolai the big, aggressive reynard, let someone's mouse for a meal go run. he keeps this a secret because he does not want anyone making fun of him for being a sap for the poor mouse. hey, when someone you hate is going to eat a poor, defenseless mouse for no reason(the other fox was horrendously fat) what would you do? probably eat it. but nikolai wasn't hungry during that time.
{ attitude } sure, he looks all huff, gruff, blow your house down. sure, he glares at you like your some kind of demon that he anticipates killing. but he's really not that bad. he only acts gruff in order for you to walk away and stop bothering him. deep down, the guys a real softy. seriously. nikolai's personality may seem very aggressive. and it is, but not in the way you see. this guy is a sarcastic animal. to most questions, he will answer, but in a more rude, obnoxious retort. he isn't the most sociable fox on the block. he's never had much luck with othes. no one really knows why. he's a solitary guy. doesn't talk a whole lot. keeps personal problems to himself. he also finds babies, small animals. very irritating. despite all of this, he can be quite the laughable vulpine. however, again in a sarcastic way. he'll laugh, but rudely.
if ever nikolai is angered, frustrated, or in a rage he has a more snarky attitude. speaks loudly, and yells a lot. i know what you're going to say. really cheesy angry mode. yeah, i know. but it's absolutely true. when he disagree's with something, he immediately states it. even if it's blunt, and not the nicest way of stating his opinion, he doesn't care. he's a very opinionated character. usually ending up sticking his nose where it doesn't belong. even for a fox of the lowest level on the tier ranking. he acts like he understands what's going on. even if he doesn't really like have the people in the area he lives in. however he rarely gets very angry. nikolai is actually quite the calm critter. in a vulpine standard, that is.
he can really take a verbal beating. metaphorically speaking. when in an argument of any kind, the stature of nikolai remains fairly calm. the twitch of the end of his tail, an roll of his eyes, and any movement of his ears may provide the notification of annoyance. but.. he can usually contain his emotions within him and propel a calm, somewhat quiet tone of voice. all as well, one might think with an attitude like his, he would be a devious liar. one that would lie constantly. but no, he's actually not. this male is absolutely honest. he just puts things bluntly. sometimes makes it look rude. because of this, others usually think he's lying. but if you asked whether your parents were alive. and they weren't.. he wouldn't even hide it. he just plainly say 'no, they're dead. i saw them over there a-ways.' and move on with life. he doesn't necessarily mean to be rude, it was just how he was raised.
to those fellow vulpines that happen to touch his heart in some way that makes him relax, and enjoy life a little. he becomes deathly loyal to. but, it takes a lot to get his attention, and hold it. if you accomplish that, you've got a very good ally on your side. however, with his opinionated self, he might not always be on your side. nikolai, whom usually has a very clear mind, and is more of a judgemental person that pays attention to things, might let you down sometimes. if he knows your wrong.. thats too bad. he won't stand by something and lie. if he knows your wrong, your wrong. no ifs, ands, or buts about it. 'deal with it, and listen to your conscience, it comes in handy.' -- Nikolai

{ events } you can hardly expect him to recall being born. no one can really remember that far back. however, nikolai was obviously born. otherwise he wouldn't be here. he was born alongside his elder brother. though, they are only a few minutes apart. they grew up together, however nikolai was always the victim of lies. his brother fed them to him, and of course, the little vulpine took them in, believing every measly word his brother said. however, as he got older. nikolai began discovering his elder brothers lies. looking between them and seeing the truth. he began resenting his brother, initially seeing him as a backstabbing monster that wanted him to be his puppet. the final straw came when daryek stole the stash of mice his mother had been hiding. as nikolai had never met his father, it was not of much concern to him. in this case, it was only his mother to care for him and his brother. once daryek had told his mother, elecia, that nikolai had stolen the mice.. the elder son came back to his younger sibling. whipping stones at him with his earthen power. breaking through nikolai's skin. it bled, making him look like the culprit.
then, when he ran to his mother for help. she snarled in his face, lunging at him, teeth shearing the fur on his face, drawing yet more blood. " you thief! stealing the mice. just as your brother said.. get out of here, scram! " she lunged again, missing him this time as nikolai scrambled backwards, running from the den and hiding. his mother didn't know.. couldn't smell. she didn't realize the blood on him was his own. he looked like he'd taken the mice. but he hadn't. he'd been cut up by his brothers earthen powers. he hurt all over now, and since that day. he's never returned home. wandered, yes. found the novelle group of foxes. he's lived there ever since. that was well over three years ago..
{ name } castaway, but you can call me anything

{ codeword } code accepted by staff
{ roleplay example } nikolai's eyes rolled as she, once again, continued to speak. he snorted in dismay at the rejection to shut down her attitude. she still seemed to think she owned him. it was pathetic. he was twice the size of her. he could fairly easily kill her. maim her. do whatever to her, without anyone knowing. he doubted anyone would care, with the way she acted. he could imagine her doing this very same thing. toying with other males feelings, playing with them. taunting them. he knew what happened next. it wasn't that hard to calculate. she'd ditch him the moment she found someone better. for that reason, nikolai strayed from other felines. females, especially. they provided nothing but trouble. when she plainly asked him to show her how to flirt, he snorted in mock amusement. " i don't flirt. but i sure as hell know that's not the way to go about it--how you're doing it. " he had a smirk of amusement plastered to his maw, at the way he'd totally just brought her down. at least, he thought he had.
but then, she started insulting him. saying he bowed down before the nobles. his muscles twitched in his shoulders as he stopped, turned around, and headed back towards her. " you do not know what i have been through. i do not bow down to those selfish pigs they call nobles. i do not bow down at their every beck and call. do not ever, ever lay claims on me. i absolutely hate liars. " he spat, every word enunciated with a hiss. his tail lashed from side to side. his back was arched, fur detailing his masculine frame. he looked menacing. demonic. angry. " you do not know who i am. and you will never become queen. in the monarchy, no one is top of the line. there are no kings, or queens. only the council. and the council would never let a selfish bitch like you reign. " he snarled, teeth flashing. he was yowling at her now, threatening her to take one more threat against him. warning her into proclaiming another opinion against him, false. they were all false. he wanted to rise, just the same as any lowly serf. he didn't want to be stuck in this life forever. he wanted to rule the monarchy with a carefree hand. he didn't want the world to become some sort of hell at this she-cat's paws. he'd challenge her. he would.
and this time, he wouldn't back down.
