PERSONALITY

• + Easy-going
• + Adaptable
• +/- Talkative
• - Irresponsible
• - Undisciplined

Sarcastic, mischievous and too smart for his own good, Corbin finds himself at home in the Ash Crow Pack. It is not a unknown fact that Corbin's mouth can run faster than his filter can catch it, and he's done nothing to improve that poor habit, consequence be damned. He is never one to mind his words or actions, not that his intention is to create confrontation but rather to entertain himself as he laughs his way through life. He isn't someone who enjoys the spotlight, but he is definitely an accessory to mischief when any of his pack members are up to no good. He lets them take the credit for the shenanigans mostly to avoid repercussions. It never works.

He is driven by his enthusiasm and his determination, but what he is oftentimes unaware of is that's not all it takes succeed. For that reason Corbin's resilience isn't always up to par and he isn't quick to correct or improve his shortcomings. Not for lack of potential, that's for sure, but his inability to take said criticism and constructing it into a tool to better himself can keep him stuck at a plateau. Corbin can be rather ardent and stubborn when it comes to his desires, no idea too big or too dangerous to deter him. It's heart over logic, emotion winning out over the brain in every situation in his life. Despite Corbin's immense ability to just feel, he is jaded and keeps up the mask of a jester to hide his vulnerability and insecurities. His pack is his family but he waits for the day he's told to move on. Although he silently yearns for life in pack structure, he is unable to step out of the safety net that the Ash Crow Pack provides.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION

• Athletic
• Lean
• Wavy curly hair
• Dark brown eyes
• Scar under his left arm

Being of Howler descent, Corbin is naturally athletic in build. His definition isn't model worthy, but he is strong and has a lean build that attributes to his naturally active lifestyle. He's not entirely unkempt, even if his clothes aren't always wrinkle free and hair freely flows to his shoulders, there's a certain modest air about him in the way he dresses. Not one for frivolous spending, Corbin sticks to simple shirts, thrift store jeans, and he will wear his shoes until water starts to leak in through the soles. His eyes are a dark brown, but the color is a stark contrast to how soft they are. Behind his right ear are three arrows pointing up, and on the outside of his left wrist is a minimalist cherry blossom tattoo no bigger than two inches long. He also has a scar that runs from under his left arm right where his pectoral meets his armpit that stretches down the span of his shoulder blade.

HISTORY

Corbin hadn't always been parentless. He has vague memories of his mother helping him onto the step stool in front of the kitchen sink, teaching him how to tie his shoes, and unbuttoning his mismatched buttons on his raincoat. It had been when he was four that she died, only due to aggressive ovarian cancer. Corbin found himself lost to the foster system after that, with other moms that were never quite like his own. From being the only child in a wealthy environment to scrambling at the table for food in a house with too many mouths to feed, the consistent environmental switches only becoming a bonus to his adaptability. He could never find a forever home because Howler children were always considered difficult.

Eventually Corbin found himself cozy in a night middle class household in his own bedroom with one other foster sibling down the hall and a pair of parents who took extracurriculars too seriously. Sports were his forte, and his foster father pushed for him to join football. Corbin chose lacrosse, partly due to spite but mostly because he preferred it. He did decent in school regarding his academics, but Corbin never developed a goal for his future. When he was sixteen, he ran. He didn't care about the single bedroom or the home-cooked meals. The money for the varsity jackets was nice, but he could do with them. He only really missed that beat up junk car that was supposed to be all his come his seventeenth birthday. But, he couldn't hole up there when he felt nothing but stagnant.

Corbin came across Graycross not with a purpose, but because most trains eventually bring you to some big city. The plethora of Howler smells enticed him to stick around. He sat on the streets with a cardboard box for the rainy nights on the Outskirts of Graycross. One day, after days of hunger and sleepless nights, a sorcerer make an off-handed remark that provoked him to instigate. It led into a street brawl that left Corbin unconscious. He woke seven hours later drowsy and out of his wits, but he wasn't too out of it to realize he was no longer on the streets. An Ash Crow Pack member picked him up and brought him back to nurse him back to health. From then on out, Corbin stuck with the pack of vagabonds, misfits and troublemakers, finding himself at home for once in his life.

HEADCANONS

1. Corbin always has a pack of jerky around. He enjoys chewing on something, but because he doesn't like bubble gum it tends to be some form of jerky. Preferably a Teriyaki flavored one.
2. Corbin is deaf in his left ear. He'd pissed off a sorcerer that retaliated and left him incapacitated with a head injury and severe concussion.
3. Corbin likes to listen to old cassette tapes. It gives him a sense of nostalgia from the old car he had as a teenager. Though he only took it for a handful of test drives before it was ultimately taken away (when he ran away) he misses that most about it.
4. Although Corbin is out as bisexual, he is also polyamorous.
