Riftrax
Age: Two Springs
Gender: Male
Breed: Himalayan/ Timber mix
Pack: River Rapids
Rank: Soldier
Physical Description:
Riftrax will always be smaller in size, as much as he dislikes this disadvantage. His paws are huge in comparison to the rest of his body, and he tries to take pride in them. His fur is of no unique hues, either, being a light creamy color, almost white, with dull streaks of grey to jacket him. His eyes, though, are something to look at, as they have a vibrancy about their green irises that's hard to ignore. Though he barely stands at shoulder-length of most dominant males, he has proven his worth as a fighter, a true Soldier.
Personality:
Riftrax has, and always will be, a thinker. The muscle most used by him is his brain. It gets irritating for him and for others, as he tends to be an overthinker and blurs the lines between what's logical and what's merely a far-off possibility. Despite his mind over matter perspective, Trax is a really good wolf at heart, wishing for what's best for those around him, though often getting frustrated when he cannot be the one to provide "the best." In times of true trail and error, Riffy can be quick to give up hope - but, even when all seems lost, he nevers stops fighting despite that. It's this courage and, in many ways, his loyalty that earned him the rank of Soldier despite his debilatating size.
Throughout his life, Riftrax has never understood why River Rapids and Forest Fire has been two seperate families. It's because of his aspirations for a peaceful, new Utopia of one unified pack that is now testing his loyalty as a Soldier, a River Rapids wolf, and above all, a believer in the laws of the Utopia...

History:
It was not an easy puphood for Riftrax. He was born right at the beginning of tension between the two packs of the Moonlit Meadows Utopia. Food was harder to come across because of the activity, skirmishes, and mere chaos the short dispute brought upon them. Though the two packs were committed to keeping the peace, Riftrax soon learned that fighting for peace when there was a seperation of one unit could not ever work out. It hadn't always been peaceful in the past, and it never would be in the future.
One of the neighbors of the Utopia got involved in the skirmishes, seeing it as a chance to possibly take sides with one of the packs and possibly moving in on the lands when it was all over. Only, when the Forest Fire came close to thinking about letting these neighbors join on their side, River Rapids decided they needed act now before the balance was broken or they were destroyed in the process.
They waged war against these neighbors. The battle lasted a full day, but those who lost their lives, lost them forever. Among those who were slaughtered in battle were both of Riftrax's parents, Cloud and Shay. Riffy was only three months old and barely weaned. He and his brother, Cory, were bitter all up until their Juvenile days, where Cory flew up in the ranks and was one of the most aggressive Soldiers in the pack. It was around his eleventh month of age when he blindly attacked a Forest Fire Stalker out of cold blood, that he lost his life.
Ever since those terrible times, even after things got better and peace has abounded once more, Riftrax has never believed in the way the Utopia is runs. He doubts it, and he longs to bring a better future for all of those living in the 'now.' How can peace ever be won when the Forest Fire and River Rapids wolves are not always working together? Riftrax wants to see where the traitors will lead the future, and he wants to help that future arrive.
