Character History: Myrhha Livy was a good soldier, followed orders, and knew her place in the pack. When she got pregnant, well many of those lower in the pecking order was up for the possibility of being the child's father. Myrhha though had never actually claimed a mate amongst the pack, she had no interest in permanent pairing. She was only mildly inconvenienced by her pregnancy, that is until the later stages. During her last trimester she was a balloon, unable to go anywhere, barely able to walk on her own. The pack had to settle somewhere resentfully until she gave birth to the beast inside her belly.
Much to everyone's surprise Myrhha gave birth to twins, two beautiful baby boys. They had their mother's dark chocolate hair, but eyes much different than her dark brown. She named them Romulus and Remus. The twins seemed oddly intelligent even fresh from the womb, their gray eyes wide and piercing. Myrhha was devoted to them, raising her cubs with fierce determination to make them strong and loyal to the pack.
The twins though, were always odd creatures. When they should have begun talking, interacting with the world around them with words and phrases cooed at them by their mother and the others of the pack assisting in their care, they remained silent. It was obvious soon after that the twins were somehow communicating with each other without speech. They would press their tiny foreheads together and giggle softly as they played.
They finally started talking at age 4, though it was only bits and pieces of communication, only things that really needed to be said. Even then the twins would either speak in unison, or finish each others sentences. It was unnerving, the way they just seemed to be one creature at times, and add to it, their verbal skills were well beyond what they should have been at that age.
By the time the twins were 9, they were already playing domination games with the other children of the pack, especially those older than them. Sometimes they won, sometimes they lost, but they always did it together, the fighting always involved both of them against one. They didn't find it unfair, because they saw themselves as one creature.
A year later their mother died in battle. They shed no tears, but silently watched over her broken and fallen body until it was time for her to be buried. They were unblinking, and more withdrawn than ever. No male had tried to step up and claim them as their sons. No male wanted to, even though they showed strength and grace as cubs. They were too odd, too strange for anyone else in the pack to really want to claim them. The pack did take care of them though, they were cubs after all, but they couldn't claim blood with anyone now.
They were bitten at age 15, even though they had tried to lobby to be bitten at 14. Soon after their first change, it was obvious how deadly the twins were in the hunt. The two of them together could take down prey that would normally take 3 or 4 wolves. They were quick, they were strong, silent and deadly. They followed orders and were good soldiers like their mother. They put on a grand face to the elders of the pack, their silence making them seem unquestioning.
Underneath it all they were mischievous, and often times would play pranks on even the older members of the pack. No one ever blamed them though, they always set it up to where another young member of the pack got blamed. They played on the rivalries in the pack, nudging this one here, this one there, until it caused minor explosions. They were the silent chaos, the wrench, amidst the well oiled machine, but easily they were able to cover their tracks. They always had an alibi.
The twins only claim a few true friends in the pack, and even those are wary of the twins. Fox is their favorite, always finding the choicest experiences to delve into. They may have considered actually loving him once, but the twins find it hard to love anyone beyond themselves. Fox knows the twins true nature and desires, just as they know his. They are trying to manipulate Fox into challenging Areyn, they want him to be Alpha. Desi is another they would consider a friend, even though she's the one who dubbed them "The Creepshow", and even though she is Areyn's daughter.
When the Twins hit puberty, instead of going through that awkward phase of sexuality, they exploded into it. Instead of spending time alone and apart discovering the new pleasures of their bodies, they were together, and have tasted and experimented with each other. They are the ultimate in narcissism, the ultimate taboo. They prefer men sexually, because well they prefer themselves above all else. They have been known to toy with a female here and there, but when given the choice, its boy meat they prefer. Of course this is something they'll never admit, and only a few know there predilections. The Twins are good at keeping their mouth shut when needed, and they know how to survive in a pack that looks down on some of their darker desires.
Character Appearance: See image for human look, save for Romulus has a scar across his neck, a mark given to him by his own brother during their first change. They both are identical in wolf form as well, a red brown color with a white muzzle. Again save for Romulus, who's fur turned gray where the scar on his neck is, even in wolf form or half form.
Strengths/Weaknesses: Some say the twins really are one mind, one soul, divided between two bodies. Others say they have a telepathic link. Whatever it is, the boys aren't telling. This strange connection makes them a deadly pair.
Personality: See history.
