❝ To run with the WOLF is to run in the shadows, the dark ray of life, SURVIVAL and INSTINCT. A FIERCENESS that is both PROUD and lonely, a tearing, a howling, a HUNGER and THIRST. Blessed are they who hunger and thirst. A strength that will die fighting, kicking, screaming, that won’t stop until the LAST breath has been wrung from its body. The will to take one’s place in the world. To say ’I AM HERE.’ To say ‘I am.’ ❞

Aspen is never afraid to say what is on his mind, as he is a true assassin. Brash, direct and very forward, he is a man of his word, who when he does it, does it with gumption and spirit. Having been a natural born hunter all his life, Aspen never has any remorse for any kills that he makes, simply on the basis and notion that he is too far down on the road of darkness to have any sort of remorse, and that every kill is justified and to him, in self-defence. Being a wolf has made him more primal and more animalistic in his personality, so listening to his instinct is imperative for Aspen.
He is quite the man with mood swings, even if he has some measure of control over them, making him highly unpredictable. He can be fine and normal for one and belligerently mad the next. Some people think his mood swings to be so spread out in spectrum that he is bipolar, but there is no medical proof. Aspen nature is as cold as a wolf; he is hard to read and has neither empathy nor compassion for anyone. This being said he neither hates humans, nor does he love humans. He just doesn't have a preference of what to think about these naive creatures. Aspen's can be a very funny man, he loves fooling around and teasing. He can easily bring someones mood up in just a blink of an eye, as well as bringing someones mood down. With the wolf running through his veins he his very protective and loyal to his clan._____________ ( ♔ biography ♔ ) _____________
From the beginning, Aspen was brought up to be a killer. He knew nothing else, did nothing else but train for hours on end. Fight. To clear his name. Fight. To destroy the royal family. Fight. For the clan. Aspen's father was harsh on him when he was a kid. Taught him to shut off his emotions, to kill or be killed. That was the way of the clan. He was brought up not to cry. A single tear is weakness; weakness that the clan does not tolerate. His father; the previous clan leader before the present, taught him everything he knew. Getting a few scars on his body here and there from training is a sign of strength. The more you had, the more wisdom you had in fights.
When his father died, the new leader of the clan was hand picked by his father. Thinking that it was going to be him as the next; some guy with a fancy name got the job. He was angry. Very angry. Still remaining as the clan's captain. He wanted power. He wanted to rule. He wanted to inherit his fathers legacy. But instead a want- to- be Sicarius. He doesn't care much for the leader. But he does care for the clan.

If Sloane smiles at you, be worried. Be very, very worried. Emotions are not her thing. If she smiles, there is definitely an alternative reason for it. She keeps her emotions in check, all locked up in a little box in the back corner of her mind. Of course she can feel, she just chooses to ignore the feelings and doesn't act on them. If she smiles, she wants something from you. She has what's commonly called a silver tongue, and she has learned exactly how to combine that with her looks to get what she wants. Usually money. That's her main motivation. She doesn't enjoy killing people, it is simply the easiest means to an end. Smiling and pretending to like someone just makes it so she can kill them quickly and easily. Unlike almost all the other assassins, Sloane doesn't know about her wild side. She's been steady and cool from the very beginning, and has never lost control into her anger. She isn't aware of her transformation abilities.
If she doesn't have to, she isn't going to talk a lot. She's what most would call aloof, preferring to distance herself from others. She's far more likely to just sit in the corner of a room and watch. She's pretty observant, but also pretty paranoid. The good thing is she's also incredibly patient. She has the ability to wait for hours to see if that person is a threat, or sit still and wait for her target to come out of their hiding place so she can kill them quickly. It takes a lot to make her angry, and even more to actually goad her into acting on it. It's far more likely for her to just put someone in a headlock to intimidate the rest of the room so she doesn't have to put up with their idiocy. She's cold, but not cruel. She doesn't enjoy hurting anyone, she's just desensitized to it by now.

Life always ends in death, but for Sloane it began that way as well. Her mother had tried to escape the Sicario clan to be with the man she loved, someone who worked for the royal staff. But he had already been killed, and on her way to see him she went into labor. As she did, the poison her clan had put into her bloodstream took effect, and she dies moments after holding her child in her arms. Sloane would have died too if a small group of mercenaries hadn't been passing through and heard the baby's cries. She was discovered, but what was a fighting force supposed to do with a baby? They planned to keep her just until they reached the next town, but by the time they were there... their blacksmith had always wanted a child, and he was attached to her and kept her. He raised her as her father but the rest of the group taught her fighting skills. But she was never as good with plain old brute force as they were. Her skills were a bit more in finesse. When she sparred with them, Sloane was far better at sneaking up behind someone and stabbing the back of their neck than she was in taking them head on. She had the ability to fight them and do it, but when given the chance she took the easier way to do it. In other words she fought smarter, not harder.
But at last came the battle that her small group couldn't win. She was heartbroken when her blacksmith was killed, and her friends as well. All of them were slaughtered, except for her. She was the only female in their group, and an attractive one. With her upbringing she was solid and steady, biding her time through the abuse and rape. She'd always been used to blood and gore, knew how to deal with death. But this pushed her over the edge, and she started boxing up her emotions. She stopped caring. Her captors grew used to her resignation, and didn't keep as close of an eye on her. And so when she saw her opportunity she took it. She stole a sword and she killed her way out, stabbing her lazy guards in the back and escaping. But she didn't have anything else to do with her life. So she put her skills to good use and started hiring herself out as an assassin, soon becoming infamous. She doesn't have any personal vendettas against anyone, and doesn't care who she works for. If she's hired to kill the king she will, but if the king hires her she'll kill who he asks.
