Character Sheet for Erebus Umbriana
Character Description
Nyx's younger half-brother, Erebus is the son of both Nyx's mother and the enigmatic shadow wolf deity that watches over the kingdom of Crescenta. As a result, though he is a pure-blooded wolf, he also inherits his father's genes as the creator of nightmares and manipulator of fear, thus making him a demigod.
Personality
Despite his intimidating appearance and stature, Erebus is actually a very curious and gentle individual who's always fond of making friends with other animals besides his canine brethren. He may not be the sharpest wolf in the pack, but his natural immense super strength and vitality more than makes up for these shortcomings.

Background/History
Erebus was born a year after Nyx on the same birthday, and the two would often play together as pups. He would often stay by his sister's side during the time she had to be hidden from the public, knowing that she is merely a half-breed wolf. Although Erebus himself is a pure-blooded wolf, his common heritage didn't save him from being constantly belittled by other wolves for being an incompetent hunter and bonding with other animals instead of killing them. Others also feared him for his strength and "unnatural vibes," thus driving others away from him. His sister and mother would comfort him for his misfortunes, and though these everyday obstacles would repeatedly knock him down, he pressed on and grew stronger over time. By the time Nyx was sent away from Crescenta, Erebus was saddened and had to look out for their mother on his own. Word broke out around the kingdom regarding Nyx's identity, and an angry mob began to swarm around the young pup's home. His mother was captured while he was hidden in their secret cellar. At the wolf king's court, just as his mother was on the brink of death by public execution, the young Erebus interfered and easily defeated the royal guards and held his own against a pack from the angry villagers. He was then confronted by the king and was challenged in one-on-one combat. Erebus was unfortunately overpowered and defeated by the king's might. Though the wolf king had considered executing the pup alongside his mother, he had soon discovered the hidden power within Erebus and learned of his inheritance from the shadow wolf deity. The king had offered one ultimatum for the frail pup: He would promise to spare and free his mother from incarceration in exchange for lifetime servitude and to hunt down and capture his own sister. Erebus reluctantly accepted the offer and was banished from Crescenta. His mother then spent her days living in harsh conditions in the king's dungeons. Erebus, with conflicting goals in mind, set out to live in Fardowsa, where he would grow into a powerful wolf and begin his quest and find his sister. However, he would soon then meet some unexpected allies along the way.
