[fancypost borderwidth=0; width: 428px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; line-height: 12px; font-size: 7pt]they were not sure what had exactly caused the de dieu's to release it, why the pack seemed so intent on allowing it out into the world, however, it wouldn't ask useless questions and would simply accept the fact that it no longer needed to be hidden in the deepest parts of the nest. they were free to wander once again and she was going to take advantage of the time he had before alpha tried to push him back into that cave, before the betas dragged it snarling and ripping into the cage which had been it's prison for two years. it respected it's packs decision to lock it away but that did not mean it had to like it - it could not control her frenzies and she hadn't meant to so viciously brutalize that child, it had simply happened and there was nothing ezhno could have done to take it back nor did it want to. there was a line that the creature drew when it came to prey and pack, prey was to be eaten and pack protected and if you did not fall into the category of pack... well, then it didn't feel bad for ripping you limb from limb and consuming your flesh - it was the way nature intended to work and ezh wasn't one to ignore it's biological and instinctual desires.

which may have been part of the reason it had followed this lone stag for as long as it had, it wanted it, it needed it, it wanted to rip it apart limb from limb and consume the warm flesh that was stored behind the fur. it could feel it's mouth watering at the thought, it was sure the flesh would be warm, perfect, the flesh would be smooth when he sunk his fangs into it and tore pieces of the flesh off the large deer. the large cougar paused as the deer began to slow, huffing as if it were out of breath - it most likely was, they'd been playing cat and mouse for hours now. they let a small smile twist onto their face as they pushed themselves against the ground, her eyes narrowing in on the deer as it continued to struggle into the jungle. then, with the grace of a predator, ezhno began to move forward slowly moving closer faster than the deer had time to realize what was happening. there was a pause, the world around the two seemed to freeze as ezhno moved ever closer to the unsuspecting deer whom had most likely thought it had won the chase, outrun the predator, how wrong it had been. in the blink of an eye the cougar pushed forward it's claws gripping onto the hind quarter of the beast and digging them into the muscle - severing the tendons that allowed the deer's hind legs to properly move. it was precise, clean, it had done this before and disabling and killing the deer would be nothing to them. it knew it had won as the deer hit the ground with the painful thud, screaming and sobbing as the cougar moved around towards it's flailing front legs; ezhno stared for a second, taking in the scene as their glowing eyes seemed to narrow slightly. then, like it had intended, they snapped their jaws around the deer's throat - digging in and cutting the air from the small thing.

when it pulled away it's lips were stained red, however, this kill had been clean and not a lot of blood had been shed - it was experienced, calculated, the result of a beast that been crafted to kill; a creature that did not falter when it came to the hunt. it had been born to be a perfect hunter, designed to kill, their father a wendigo capable of inhuman senses and speed while his mother, a skinwalker, could truly be the wolf among the sheep - wearing the furs of animals to hide among the very creatures it ripped apart. there was no denying that whatever kind of hybrid that ezhno was... it was not one of kindness or anything of the such, they were a monster. a primal, feral, deceptive, pack dwelling monster who knew only three things: eat, sleep, breed.

to do those things, it need territory, a pack; the de dieu's were it's pack but they knew those creatures were not big enough to act as a good enough pack - the alpha was small and weak and the other betas too collected, the omega breeding outside of pack - ezhno needed a pack that was collective, a pack in which they could rule over... they knew she was the alpha, she'd always been the alpha and he needed to ensure those around it knew that. the creature let out a soft rumbling from it's chest a slow breeze and the cougar found itself shrinking it's true form taking place as the pelt of the cougar laid haphazardly over it's grey skin. they were smaller and definitely not as built as they had been when they'd shifted into the body of the large feline but he was still collected, cold, and it's face covered in the blood of the deer.

then, they smelled it... this was another pack's territory - another group that ezhno needed to posses and control. he sniffed the air lightly a rumbling coming again from it's chest as it turned to the deer and began pulling it closer towards the scent. this pack was theirs now, this territory was theirs, they were the alpha now and they were bent on finding their new pack mates; they needed to know the subjects that would serve under them and offer them shelter and food. huffing, ezhno stood up - releasing it's grasp on the deer carcass as it's glowing yellow eyes looked out from the skull plastered across it's face. it let out a huff before sending out a large surge of emotion, specifically, that of longing, searching; they needed to locate their new pack.

‣ single | no past relationships | no future relationships.
‣ no romantic feelings | some interest.
‣ ½ of nothing.
‣ NPC x NPC | Gen 1 | no apprentice/mentor.
‣ ezhno is part of the di dieu family.
‣ relationships are a complex subject for ezhno - on one hand they are something that he knows it will eventually need to participate in to continue the de dieu line but on the other she knows that she doesn't exactly want a relationships, at least, not a normal one. their idea of love and relationships are more... animalistic than most relationships around here; they are nearly feral in the way they think and act so it simply assumes that a partner will assume them a pack and that they will be mated for life. it is rather confused by one nightstands or simply dating in general. they will fight to the death if she feels anyone is trying to steal his mate, they're nearly feral, and they will assume their territory is being threatened.

IMPORTANT FACTS:
‣ ezhno is completely mute, he cannot read or write and he does not have telepathic powers - complete and total silence. however, there needs to be a way in which he communicates so he simply uses his emotional manipulation to spread out the emotion he is feeling or the emotion that helps describe the situations he is in. although, if it helps any the only word he can write is his name. he has no desire to learn how to read or write and will not accept any kind of help in that territory.
‣ ezhno is pangender meaning it believes it is every gender and i've decide to try something new and play around with pronouns so don't be confused if throughout my writing i never use the same pronouns to refer to ezhno. she doesn't mind much what anyone calls him and will pretty much response to anything so if you look at them and see one gender you're welcome to just use those pronouns; it doesn't matter much to it or me.
‣ ezhno is a rather strange creature, a complex hybrid that came from the deepest, darkest part of the de dieu family. it is a hybrid between a skinwalker mother and a wendigo father - a combination of two of the scariest creatures from native american legend and while he doesn't look like much at first, do not let it's appearance fool you, ezhno is more dangerous than many know.
‣ it needs to feast on the flesh of other living creatures in order to survive, while it tries to control itself it often loses control and falls into a feeding frenzy where it will attack anyone and anything in it's vicinity. it cannot control these episodes and more often than not doesn't care much to - there was a reason the family locked it away for over two years.
‣ ezhno can change it's appearance at it's will, however, it usually cannot do so unless it has the pelt of whatever creature it wishes to turn into. it must wear the pelt of that creature before it can fully take the form of that animal - two of the most common forms ezh will take are a coyote or a cougar; however, that does not limit them and they have no problem with shifting into any other animal. those two are simply their favorite.
‣ they do not consider themselves evil nor good, they believe that what they are has no stance and that they don't really care about the ideals set by anyone. they follow their own standards and live by their own rules. they may be a murdering cannibal but they are not a bad guy and just because they love to play tag with children and make flower crowns does not mean they are a good person.
‣ when angered or in a frenzy ezhno has the ability to form his body into a bipedal-like creature, shrinking his muscles and generally forcing his body to exceed 8 feet in height while standing on two legs. he can also unhinge his jaw much like a snake can, making his mouth much larger in order to easily consume it's food.
‣ he is not quite a demon but he is... something much worse than that - an ancient spirit of chaos and destruction, the wendigo is the bringer of starvation and the winter while the skinwalker is one of damnation and control. needless to say ezh is not someone that should be taken lightly, as the combination of these two creatures it's darker than any demon, god, or anything of the sorts.

PHYSICAL: [reference] [bullskull reference]
‣ MUTATED PERUVIAN HAIRLESS DOG [birth/main] | health: 100%
— it's very difficult to explain what exactly ezhno is because, well, it can be whatever it wants to be whenever she wants to be it. their ability to skin walk allows them to be any animal as long as they have it's pelt, so it rarely likes to walk in it's own base skin as it does not allow it to do the things the other bodies do. however, it is one of their most important features and must be explained - their base body is that of a peruvian hairless dog or, at least, something similar to it; it share many of the qualities of the canine breed - including the hairlessness, the tough grey skin, and various patches of matted brown fur over their body. needless to say, their base body is anything but attractive, it is ugly and probably very uncomfortable to touch. while their base body may change and morph there is one thing that never changes about ezhno, that remains with it through every shift, that being a large bull skull which has been carved out inside and fitted to match his head size; through the shift, however, the skull can morph to fit the head size of any animal ezhno takes the form of. the skull itself is a yellowish color, with long horns that tilt up ever so slightly - over the years it has taken to attaching beads and feathers to the horns of the skull in efforts to change things up. one of the most noticeable features of ezhno is it's bright, bright, glowing yellow eyes that can only be seen through the eye sockets of the bull skull.

— ezhno is a rather confusing thing as it never truly seems to ever stay consistent about the way it acts, it's ever changing, much like it's body. they can be kind or nasty depending on how they feel that day - they could make flower crowns with children one day and then the next ripping a child apart with little to no mercy as it feasts on the child's carcass. they have no moral standing and cannot be considered good nor evil as they never really fit into any category, they cannot be labeled and that is how they like it. they're impulsive and unpredictable and it is simply impossible to know how they will react in any given situation as it is never the same - they're... feral in a sense. they do what they must to survive and then deal with the other emotions and feelings that comes with being alive - they see everything in a way of, pack or not pack, or simply, predator or prey. however, in a way, they are still a very intelligent creature - do not let their impulsive and chaotic behavior fool you. they are a trickster and do things calculated in their chaos. they know the response they will get and despite never acting the same, they have a method to it's madness.

The seapanther blinks, spotting the carcass of the deer not too far off before looking back at this fellow. Someone poaching on their land is certainly not something that should be accepted, but if he's here to join then it can be forgiven surely. "Uh... May Ah help ya? Who are ya n' what do ya need?" he offers as politely as he can given that he's frankly a little weirded out. Not particularly scared, but wary of a dude so odd. They get a lot of weirdo joiners here and there and this beast reminds him a bit of a man named Geiger he once knew, but he keeps the observation to himself for now. Perhaps he's nice under his feral look. Nat was after all, and his own son too.

PHYSICAL:
⚓ SEAPANTHER [only] | health: 70%
Voice: (young) Ewan Mcgregor
O'Fraiser is a seapanther that appears to be a mixture between an aquatic creature and a leopard. His form is lithe with pointed shoulders, a very long fish like tail, and webbed feet. His body is primarily peachy orange, white, grey, and turquoise in color. His whiskers are long and are more sensitive than a domestic feline's whiskers. They help him feel his way around dark ocean environments and his large tail helps keep orientation when swimming as well as provides extra power. Just under his ear and tracing his upper jaw are two fins on each side of his head, the top one larger than the bottom one. He has similar looking fins (though more ruche) along his side behind his arms. Both sets of fins conceal gills and only one set has to be active at a time when he his traversing the sea (head gills for shallow waters, side gills for deep sea diving). His movements are otter-like in that he will often hold things between his paws and stand up on two legs though he has trouble walking like this. He is quicker in the water than on land, but he is still able to adequately move and fight. O'Fraiser is very emotive in the face and has bright, life filled golden eyes perched under thick black lashes and over a red waterline underneath both eyes. His body is about as long as an adult alligator's and his paws have non-retractable, small and usually blunt claws. The real danger is his powerful bite facilitated by two rows of sharp, shark-like teeth. On his neck is a collar that looks like it belongs to a person's shirt, but acts like a regular collar for an animal. In his right ear is a small earring of gold and red and his head and neck sport curly hair. Down the back of his neck the hair becomes longer and he holds it in a ponytail with a lime ribbon. O'Fraiser is Scots-Irish so he speaks in an accent reflective of both cultures, having been raised in Sule Skerry (Scotland), but influenced by the Irish harbor seals that helped raise him.

[fancypost borderwidth=0; width: 428px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify; line-height: 12px; font-size: 7pt]ezhno had not spoken a word since the moment he was born, not for lack of trying, but the simple fact he had been born without a voice - destined to live his life mute with nothing but rumbles and growls to help express it's emotions. it wasn't as hard as some would assume it to be - not when he had the emotional ability that he'd taught himself; no, it was rather easy to convey what he wanted or what he was thinking the problem was if the others could understand what he wanted to say or do. he stared at the packmate whom had just arrived - eyes narrowing as they made themselves appear bigger than they may have actually been. the other was large, old, and in a way, a threat to the alpha authority ezhno wanted to give off. it knew the other stood no chance against them but it still refused to allow a lower beta to even come close to the power she held. however, this beta was pack and despite the challenge the other seemed to give to the hybrid it knew it needed to remain calm. it let out a rumbling growl, before it decided to give some kind of vulnerability.

then, the cougar's body begin to snap, to reform, to shift until the creature standing before o'fraiser was no longer a large cougar but that of a small, hairless dog. the large bull-skull continued to stand upon their head and the pelt of a cougar laid across their back as ezhno slowly pushed it completely from her body. it was an old pelt, one of their favorites, and the hunt that had taken place to acquire it was one that remained fresh in their mind. it had been an unfair hunt, yes, but one ezhno had been proud of - it was a good thing it did not require the bottom of the furs or this fur simply would not have worked well for it. it blinked a few times, pulling itself from the feel of a hunt and stared at the other for a second as if contemplating what exactly he was supposed to do. they were pack... why was the other asking it questions? maybe it wanted one of those things that creatures used to often - names. that seemed logical, yes?

slowly one of it's hairless paws crept forward, large talons slipping free as the moved ever closer to the ground in front of the fishy-feline. ezhno did not know how to write, no, but from the moment archibald had become the alpha of the family he had ensured that ezh could at least give strangers it's name. it was better than the collar the last alpha had given it; there was a reason ezhno had ripped their face from their body - ezh was no pet, it was wild and it deserved to be treated as such. however, it liked the new alpha; he feared it and it liked that, but the alpha still taught ezhno things, things which allowed it to communicate with pack. one of the few things that alpha had taught it... was it's name - something that had never been uttered by the creature itself but the one that had been spoken when it's father threw it to the beta's in the time when the true bloods had lived in their pack. slowly, it's claw clanked into the ground, slowly running across the dirt as it made out the shapes that alpha had told it made out it's name. slowly, each letter formed in the ground 'E Z H N O' they looked up to the fishy-feline before snapping their paw below the written name 'D E' it glanced up again before looking back to it's claw again 'D I E U'. it had no idea what any of the marks meant but alpha had told her that it meant a lot for others and it was good for pack, and ezhno was nothing but a pack animal. his yellow eyes glanced up to look at the other before the claw instantly snapped back into his paw and the leg snapped back to her side. then, he shoved out a wave of emotion - the feeling that came with bonding, one to tell them he was pack now.

WINTERNIGHT · Dec 31st 2016

[fancypost bgcolor=; border:0;width:450px;text-align:justify; font-size: 8pt; line-height:1.4]
/ you responded as i was responding so i just. added on lmao. ~~also i love your writing omg~~.

He could smell blood. There was little mess, but his senses were keener than usual as hunger was getting the best of that side of him. It didn't matter, he told himself, even as a headache began to drum at his forehead. The feline swipes a paw across his forehead with just a touch of pressure in some attempt to alleviate the pain, the ache. Instead, it only seems to get worse, so Darkknight drops it and instead follows the smell. It could just be an injury, but he doubts it. He can hear a few heartbeats mixing in the cacophony of a winter forest, but neither sounds incredibly panicked. Not as if it is injured. Dead, then, or maybe just nonchalant about the whole thing. At this point, he can't tell, but he pushes forward anyway, to be confronted by something that looks as if it came from a nightmare. The lion himself is easily over six feet tall at this point, and it's rare to find something that unsettles him, yet this beast manages it well enough.

Pale blue eyes rove over it again and again, as if he's looking for some answer in the stranger's physicality. He finds nothing, aside from the deer and an intense urge to chase it off. Perhaps it's simply because he doesn't like it, or maybe some part of him is picking up on the stranger's drive to be in charge. That would certainly be a problem with him, considering that not only is he an incredibly dominant person and the Warchief here (as well as temporary leader), but he would also find it incredibly irritating to have anyone else think that they were in charge of him. Still, Win manages to fight down his unease well enough to simply sit at the border and wait for O'Frasier's question to be answered. Charcoal fur seems to raise a bit along between his shoulder blades and along his spine, a decidedly canine way of showing aggression, but that's all that he'll allow for the time being. But it did not answer, and his discomfort only grew.

Watching it change the way it did made him uncomfortable on another level, his stance widening as he watches, waits. He can feel Ezhno's attempt at authority now, or perhaps it truly is paranoia. Then there's a different feeling, one of — he can't quite call it much of anything, because all it serves to do is make him more uncomfortable. The lion could only consider a few people friends, and he was not sure that Ezhno would ever make that list. Perhaps. He hasn't decided yet. "Ezhno," Darkknight repeats, breaking his own uncomfortable silence for the first time. "You don't speak, do you." It's not a question, and instead almost comes out as a sigh, but the lion instead ends up clearing his throat and speaking to O'Fraiser. "What do you think they're trying to say?"

Hard to get along with, irritable, and doesn't take orders well. Disciplined and almost always in control. (Not So) Secretly a gigantic softy, especially towards children who have been through some sort of trauma. Not very good at affection, but he does try, most of the time. Usually oddly charismatic and surprisingly trustworthy for an ex-assassin. Known for putting on very convincing fronts when he needs to, anywhere from a diplomat to a coward. While he can manage any of those with ease, Win is a warrior first and it shows. He's been pretty friendly as of late but don't expect it to last.
