Monsters aren't born, they're made
Begins life wide-eyed, even a little sweet. A lamb looking to its mother for comfort, only to find itself in the jaws of a wolf. He might try and cling to a sibling instead, searching desperately for connection and warmth, before its made clear that such a weakness is a noose around his neck. The harder he wants, the tighter it gets.

In his first few months he is pliable clay, formed quickly into hard stone. If there's no use for his heart, then he will tear it out himself. He will learn the language of pain and fear until it becomes nature instead of nurture. There is freedom in the loosening of the rope, but he will never be rid of it completely.

It becomes easier as he grows to enjoy violence, emerging from a turbulent cub-hood as an apex predator. Sinking your teeth into another is its own form of connection. The highest intimacy is tasting another's blood on your lips.
something something cannibalism and violence at a metaphor for love

Personality:
Witty and cunning, tries to stay one step ahead of everyone else to remain in control. Truly doesn’t understand the concept of morality, to him it doesn’t exist. There are those who give pain and those who receive it, and he learned early on that it’s better to be the former.

Two-faced. Though secretly desperate for connection, he believes that no one is capable of understanding him. He’s arrogant that way, thinking he’s special for how he was raised, better than those who remained lambs. If someone does catch his attention, he will be charming and polite, pretending there’s not blood hidden behind his teeth.

Quick to anger but patient, he will never forgive or forget a slight, though he might not act on it right away. Scheming for revenge is one of his favorite hobbies. He believes in an eye-for-and-eye form of justice, quite literally.

The softness he was born with has been warped beyond repair. There is no affection without cruelty, no love without suffering. A child weaned on poison considers harm a comfort.

Main Traits:
Sadistic ~ Elegant ~ Always Wearing a Mask ~ Control Freak ~ Spiteful ~ Secretly Lonely ~ Manipulative Bastard ~ Passionate

Last minute entry: tabs will make a ref and such later..



Cub#3

Name: Masten
Desc: plum with a mane of silver and lavender. He is large with a singular green eye and a silver one that will forever remain sightless. His markings blend his parents into his hide in hues of blacks silver and purples.

Personality: taking on the Drake name, he will seek to do what his father failed. Create an empire under which their banner flies high. Driven by the desire to see his superior bloodline succeed, he will denounce the Saxe name and seek to strike them from the history books. Darker alignment and fight first as questions later he has few morals, but those he does have are kept close to his chest.

Notes: I'd love (players willing) to see a potential bloodline feud as time goes on with those that are older than him. I feel that could be some enjoyable plotting :)

You guys made it so incredibly hard! Everytime I saw a new application I wanted to rip my hair out (in a good way!).

Congrats to @cas-tello @Nora @Tabs ★ -- I adored your ideas (and holy shit, all boys) I look forward to seeing these three in action! Cubs will be born on the 18th and playable by the first of the year! In addition, I will be requesting the cubs use sersie's last name going forward, for plot reasons!

To everyone else, I adored all the work you put into your applications. As it stands, if you would like to create them and have Sersie adopt them as cubs, I would be totally down for it! I would hate to see your concepts not be used <3

Thank you all again!
