Profile of Altan: Details
Appearance
Brutish and bull-like in build, Altan is represented well by his name, which effectively translates to 'Golden bull.' He has the build and musculature of a warrior, being both tall and barrel-chested, with a short and heavy neck and thick, wiry pelt covering a tough and sinewy physique. His coat is tawny, with highlights of blonde and gold, as well as flecks of black and brown, typical for a Mongolian wolf. He has a slightly scruffy, tufted chin and ears as well- a bit unusual, but they give him an even more austere look. His eyes are a deep, pumpkin orange.
Personality
Altan is a deeply traditional wolf, having grown up in a family pack with strict laws and beliefs. Altan was exactly what his parents could have wanted in a son- dependable, gruff, respectful, serious and traditional. He fits in well with those he respects, but can be quite cold or judgemental of those who exist outside of his pack.
Biography
Altan was the only son born to Batzorig and Odgerel Buqa, in the Blue Wolff Clan in Mongolia. As Batzorig was the Boyan or lead warrior of the pack, Altan was trained to take his father's place as soon as he was strong enough to stand. He was taught to spar with other young males of the pack, and trained through private lessons with his father; a luxury afforded to no other in the pack. Altan had been chosen and was being groomed to take up his father's position once he retired or was killed in battle.

The "reapings," as they were called, were known occurrances; one happened the year that Altan was born, but he wouldn't remember it or the wolves who were taken, but he grew up acknowledging that this happened, and grew to know of it as a part of their religion. It was something that simply seemed unfathomable to Altan, who believed that his destiny lay with the pack, becoming the next Boyan.

When he turned two years of age, he and his sweetheart Tuya became mates, and she gave birth to three pups that spring. Altan was a proud and doting father, and though he was still quite busy with his training and acting as guardian for the pack, he spent as much time as he could with his children.

In his third year, Tuya conceived again, and Altan was elated. He'd begun to train up his own children, having chosen his eldest, Jochi, to follow in his footsteps. But everything came to an abrupt halt the day he felt a sharp sting on his left haunch- and then the world faded into darkness.
