Lucius

Lucius was standing in the middle of camp amongst the pack, sunlight glittering on his mixed coat as a full young adult at one year. His two sisters, Ivy and Forsythia were also with him preparing for their own role assignments. Lucius felt warmth as he assumed his upcoming role with pure inner confidence - a scout.

"It is our duty to watch our puppies grow. To observe their skills for their future pack purpose as adults. From our own personal insight as Queen and Beta, to the opinions of the parents and other packmates." Jasmine would begin, her voice friendly yet powerful as always.

His sister Forsythia got assigned first as an Herbalist in training. Lucius was not surprised the keen wolf obsessed with helping others and the scent of bitter herbs was chosen, plus as Suchong was getting old the pack needed a future replacement. Lucius would give his sister a supportive nudge on the cheek, a petal dropping from one of the flowers always adorning her fur.

Then it was his other sister Ivy's turn.

Lucius rolled his eyes and wasn't sure what Ivy was going to get. The she-wolf was so lazy ever since she was a pup! He loved her, but she did, well, nothing except rush for food when it was dinnertime. Still, being family he wanted to see her assignment as she stepped forward into the open clearing where the sun shined the brightest, a yawn escaping her mouth and in that moment he was glad Jasmine wasn't one of those types of Queen's because he was certain some would've taken that as a sign of disrespect!

Then he was motioned forward. Lucius stood there assuming it was at someone else. Then Jasmine directly asked him to come forward.

Lucius was confused, but listened and came forward.

"As we all know," Jasmine began, looking around the small packs clearing, "Hunting teams are one of the most important roles in any pack." As soon as those words left Jasmine's mouth, Lucius anxiously bent his ears

I hope I'm misinterpreting this.. He thought.

"Neptune's Bounty is shrinking as our eldest hunters begin to age. Fort Frolic, our most recent, is young but small. These groups need to be filled and prepared consistently. And as such, today, we get two new members to Fort Frolic." Jasmine stepped first to Ivy, "Ivy, some may consider you lazy but we have seen the glimpses of focus and energy you can give when needed. You are a Chaser of Fort Frolic."

And then Jasmine stepped forward to Lucius, "I'm very sorry Lucius, you're not ready to be a Scout. Your adventurous personality is respected. But I've seen how positively you work in groups compared to being alone. With a supportive team, and the packs wellbeing in mind, I believe you'll do great as a hunter. You will join Ivy as a Chaser."

Adventurous wolf Lucius always wanted to be a Scout since he was a young pup. Unfortunately, he just wasn't fit for that role. Some taste in adventure and curiosity is needed for scouting, but too much is a danger and this young wolf still needs to grow into his personality and learn lessons.

Lucius gets easily distracted and has bad self-judgement in terms of risk, timing and even direction all by himself. Whether he likes it or not, he is more of a natural follower than he is a self-sustaining wolf capable of exploring unknown land alone as such his puphood dreams of being a Scout like his older, experienced packmates Hircine and Leliana are left to simmer for now.

Fortunately, he is a good teamplayer. He may argue or disagree occasionally, but he listens well and will do what he can in the end, if reluctantly, to help the pack or the team for the better. This is further cemented by how he never actually did anything by himself and always had a packmate with him.
