thoughts that make me go insane,
PERSONALITY:
The first thing to be said about Tortuga is that he's avaricious - he is greedy, and he doesn't have any shame in it. He is also argumentative and garrulous, talking excessively sometimes and not caring if the one he is talking to is interested in the subject or not. He can be overbearing at times, domineering and completely masculine. He is prying, asking many questions and not caring if they're personal or not. He speaks slowly to make sure he is heard and understood, and when in the right mood, he's a bit of a madcap - crazy and reckless, usually to be amusing. He is easily made jealous, and likes a female who is powerful and beautiful. He has high standards and won't pant over just any bitch, or so he likes to tell himself. He is foolhardy, recklessly bold and rash. He is influential when he speaks, able to talk himself out of many situations, not that he needs to. He is a fighter, which is one of his main flaws. When Tortuga does come to care about something or someone, he would defend it with his life, although so far, Tortuga has never held anything nor anyone close to his heart.
all over my shoulder,
FATHER: Tormand
MOTHER: Kayta
SIBLINGS: Astrid [f], Alexander [m], Pryce [m]
HISTORY:
Although the pups were never told of it, Tortuga and his littermates were a product of forced breeding. Kayta had wandered off from her pack one day, where she had stumbled apon a particularly cruel male who had no shame it taking advantage of her. Crushed when it was done, she fled back to her pack, who hunted the brute down and killed him. Her mate was particularly enraged, especially when Kayta was discovered to be pregnant. They decided then and there that her mate, named Famurr, would serve as the pup's father and that they would never be told of their biological one, Tormand.
When Kayta gave birth to four lovely pups, she immediately fell in love. Famurr felt differently though. From the moment he saw the stunning pups, he was envious and resentful that they weren't his. As Tortuga grew up romping with his brothers and annoying his sister, it became clear that he was the most dominant puppy, and Famurr kept a close eye on him. As Tortuga grew, he became fond of wrestling with his brothers, proving that he could beat them. At night, however, he would cuddle close to his mother, her bulk protecting him from the harsh weather conditions that the pups were born into.
For months, Famurr watched from the sidelines, whispering to the alpha of the little pack that Tortuga and his brothers would challenge him one day. The alpha easily gave into this talk, and the moment that Tortgua and his brother's were a year old, they were chased from the pack, much to Kayta's dismay. At first they stayed together, but eventually, their personalities began to clash and Tortuga wandered off on his own.
For years, he stayed that way, moving across countries, never settling down for too long. He knew he was looking for something - home, perhaps? - but he was never entirely sure what. To this day, it baffles him.
