Personality:
Rygor is a stern face wolf though he has a habit of making the first joke or wisecrack in a group setting. Often at his own expense. His dominate male personality has caused him to get into trouble several times in the past with other wolves who don't take kindly to his high and mighty attitude. Rygor likes to pick fights he knows he can win, often to prove to Jai that he's still worthy of being her mate and feels that he is earning her love this way. Jaimara doesn't really care that he does this but she puts up with it because it is one of the only ways Rygor can still show he is strong enough to be her mate.
History:
Rygor was born to loving parents who raised him as best they could in order give him the highest chance of survival in the harsh, unforgiving lands of Estysion once he grew to adulthood. Rygor left his parents at age two and wandered the lands for more than a year before stumbling into the study of a female wolf. The initial greeting was tense though as Rygor talked to Jaimara Raggedfur they soon both relaxed. Over the course of the afternoon they stayed together and talked, getting to know each other better and deciding to become mates. Rygor and Jai cemented their new relationship that long night together and after a few days had passed, Rygor was told by Jai that she was pregnant. Though unhappy with the prospect of being a father Rygor decided to met the task head on. Sadly, only one pup survived the difficult birth out of five and the pair decided to name him Nako. Rygor was initially happy that he had a son and taught him everything he could within the first few months of Nako being out of the den. Then, as if someone had flicked a switch, Nako changed. He would constantly get into fights with the other pups and would wander away from his home to be alone for extended amounts of time. Rygor and Jai neglected his upbringing from then on and pursued other interests, bored and frustrated with their distant child. Rygor became a hunter for the pack and Jai restarted her previously intellectual life of reading, studying, and observing stars and planets. A year later Nako left his parents to start his own life. Five uneventful years later, Rygor woke up one morning to the sight of some deer grazing the sparse grass after a heavy rainstorm washed away the soil in front of their home at the Roseburr Farm. Not wanting to waste an opportunity of a quick meal to feed Jai and Aria Riversong, Rygor took off after the herd. The deer scattered and the old male gave chase, singling out a doe and maneuvering her away from the main group to make an easy kill. Suddenly, Rygors world exploded in a deafening flash of fire and mud. He had stepped on a human landmine. The blast severed his front left leg two inches above the knee and hurdled him into the air and onto the mud, unconscious before he even hit the wet ground. It was a fluke that he had survived, the rain had cause mud to ooze over and cover the human weapon, damping the blast. When Rygor had stepped on it in the soaked earth, he pushed down on the far side, angling the blast away from most of his body a split second before it went off. Jai heard the detonations report and raced outside, looking at the scene before her in horror. She hurriedly dragged her mate inside and saw that the heat had cauterized the stump when it exploded. She cut away the dead tissue and cleaned out the debris with many lick of her concerned tongue before finally giving her still unconscious mate a hard nudge, waking him. Rygor still had several holes in him from shrapnel but all they could do was hope they weren't life threatening. It took several months of learning walk on and use his right side for everyday things though occasionally, Rygor would lapse into a coughing fit from pain in his chest and blood would come up. Showing that his lungs were nicked by shrapnel during the explosion. Eventually life returned to normal for Rygor and Jai and they are now known as the oldest wolves still alive in Estysion today.
