Coming back from his summer pastures and home, finds the endless forest full of life as rut time has arrived. This is what life is all about.

Traits:
o Something of his own kind, "Sui generis"
o Visited the forest in 2013 for the first time.
o Homeworld is based on Finland and it's nature.
o Not 100% feral minded. Wise with age and years spent around humans.
o Respect needs to be mutual. Others are expected to respect their elders to gain more trust and kindness.
o Aggressive behavior can easily be taken as a challenge.
o Does not mind other males around him as long as they know their place.
o Fawns are safe with him as long as they know manners. Believes that especially children learn from antlers faster than from words.
o Has grown very old and wise, but is far from the end of his golden days. Can engage in a fight and play, though wears down sooner if not given plenty of rest.
o The crow skull hanging from his antler tine once belonged to a crow companion.
o Deep inside very sympathetic. Cares deeply. Misses good things from his past. Gets melancholic. Any of these feelings are not easily shared unless you have gotten close to the enclosure of his heart.
o Watches over lonesome deer often. Might even try to greet if they appear mellow enough after observation.
o Does not have a problem with backing away from a situation that makes him feel uneasy or annoyed. Can turn his back anytime he feels like it.
o Easy to annoy with specific actions. Might not look like he's bothered, but might suddenly lash out at you. Unpredictable for those who don't know him.
o Has something against roe deer. Civil towards them but feels both annoyed and amused by them.
