Chronicle
Extra Stuff
[9/1/2012 10:51:19 PM] Seruta: Chronicle's parents were loner mates (kinda what Chron and Silent are doing now) who - when it came time to birth the litter - got tempararilly taken in by Silent's pack. They stayed with the pack until the pups were old enough to learn how to hunt.
This pack named their young after something that defined them. Silent didn't make any noises after she was born, hence the name Silent. Chronicle got his name by his way of telling stories and remembering finite details in events past as if they were written. Like a story, or Chronicle. I'd like to somewhat keep the naming tradition alive.

But over time, I liked Silent being so dependent on Chron that I eventually changed their backstory to fit so that they could be mates. Chron was also originally a female... emotion_awesome XD But same sex couples can't mate in Hymn, so..
Well... mainly because there's more of a bond between the two than most would know. The original pack - though holding pups as sacred - had a ruling to rid the pack of deformities before attachments could be made. Silent was (originally) born without vocal chords. When they realized that she was trying to make noises and couldn't they attempted to rid of her, however, Chronicle - also a newborn in the same litter - just happened to crawl over her body like she was protecting Silent (juuuuust happpennneeed toooo) and the pack took that as a sign of Protection. Again, Pups were sacred. So they took that sign as a legitimate sign from the goddess and let Silent live. Chronicle got the first part of her name from that moment. Later - after she had grown and proved she had a detailed memory for events and things said/done about the pack - she got her everyday name. Essentially, The pack grants the pups with a name that defines what they're like in puphood. In Chron's case it was Protector. Silent's... was Silent. When they reach adolescense, they get a defining name that's based on their personality or defining quality. Chronicle (duh). Silent was Disruptance. To be explained in a bit. The last part is generally given to them when the individual decides how they want to be remembered. Be it by having a large heart or for Chronicle's case, she wanted to travel, see the world. Her full name eventually became 'Protective Chronicle who Wanders'. When an adult in the pack takes a mate, they can either keep their full name as they have claimed it, or choose to take on the name of their mate.
There was a bit of a cruelty play in the naming of Silent. As she has a tendency to sit back and watch, observe, analyze and things - and essentially cannot talk - she came off as a little strange, creepy, and for the most part disrupting in a rather silent way (obviously). So it was by a cruel twist of fate that she was granted the name 'Silent Disruptance with a Heart of Gold'.

"Why do we do that?" and so on... so when the decision was made to "rid the pack of deformities" Chronicle spoke up and refused to silence himself when the elders told him to hold his tongue. He eventually put himself between himself and the newborn pup (note, Chronicle was probably only a few months old at this point) and refused to move away from her. He then said he'd take care of her if no one else would and Silent's mother then asked if this pup's actions were a sign from the Gods. Hence why Silent is still alive.
