{ A P P E A R A N C E }
Kazmarez was born to Kivak and Hinaezuu Atradico and so as a result of being a Kivaezuu, he possesses traits of his parents. Kaz inherited the beautiful fur of his mother who gave him a long and thick coat of Sienna, with a silvery fur color in the tips of his hair, a cream colored under-belly and inner legs, with a mighty black 'cape' across his shoulders. As he matures from a pup into adulthood, his fur becomes more and more striking and beautiful. His father, Kivak, also contributed to his genes - but not in a way of coloration, but instead in body size. The arctic blood will make Kazmarez one of the largest wolves in the pack. His shoulder will easily gain to be over 36" tall when he is finish growing.

Though his personality is still developing, Kazmarez was born with a bit more of a shy personality than would be expected in a alpha's heir. As a pup, he spent most of his time alone or with his best friends Azamakaios and Timur. Seldom would he venture over to others that were unknown - he considered them all slightly dangerous. But as his age matured his mind, he started opening up more and more. Adventure and play became his focus in life. It started with Aza and Timur, and then rapidly spread to others as well. His vision of the dark, scary, threatening forest also began to change. He often asked questions of what it would be like to venture outside and explore? But all this time, Kaz's heart was also changing. increasingly he became more concerned with others. Were they feeling alright? Was there anything he could do to help? A caretaking and loving instinct grew within him for his friends and family. But all this was going to be shaken and altered slightly at the age of about 10 months. This was the time when the first news was given to him about being an alpha. Walking in his father's pawprints became the focus of his life. But he held so much doubt about his ability in his heart - even if outwardly he said he could do it. However, his entire life had been leading up to one moment when his personality, heart, and even body would be tested. During the fight between the Darkhearts and the Earthensongs, his father Kivak would be taken down to the ground with jaws clenched around his throat. Forever, Kazmarez would have that image burned into his memory. But in that moment, something woke up inside of him in the deepest part of his heart. Something was ignited that gave him a sense of need, a need to be more. It was as if the spirits themselves had come down on him and showed him his destiny. Instead of listening to his mind when it cried out for safety, when it told him he was just a pup, when it said 'you're going to get yourself killed', he listened to his heart. Kaz sprung out of his hiding spot to attack Darkheart head on. With Timur at his side, the two pups distracted and hurt Darkheart enough to give Kivak the upper paw and finally kill him once and for all. Ever since that day, Kazmarez has been different - stronger, more loving, and he finally has the faith in himself to be more - to be an alpha.
{ H I S T O R Y }
Kaz was born on March 7th 2010 as a huge surprise to his parents. His mother, Hinaezuu, had been very sick but she and his father Kivak had no idea that she was pregnant until his birth. Kaz became a very special pup to both of them and quickly stole their hearts as he developed from a fearful and scared pup, into an ever loving and protective one.
Kaz also grew up with two other pups, Azamakaios and Timur, who had been rescued from the fate of another pack. While they were raised in infancy as siblings, Kazmarez and Azamakaios quickly developed a bond that would only strengthen as she was adopted by Kaz's uncle.
At 10 months of age, Kaz would be given news that shook his world. His father, whom was the alpha, expressed his will to retire from the rank and eventually have Kazmarez step into his pawprints as the next alpha male. Kaz's best friend Azamakaios was also chosen with similar news from the alpha female - Kaz's mother - to lead as alpha female one day.
Together, the two pups trained... or tried. As the training increased, so did their bond together. This had often distracting qualities as Kaz and Aza preferred to play or tease each other more than learn. They did, however, train well in spite of the distractions and gray hairs they gave Kivak and Hinaezuu.
As much as Kaz trained, there was one quality he still did not have. It was not a trainable quality but rather a personality flaw. Kazmarez was inherently fearful and doubtful of his own abilities. But those qualities still developed deep in his heart. It wasn't until the war with the Darkhearts that Kazmarez finally became the brave wolf his is today. In the face of enormous danger, Kaz - only a pup - ran out from safety to try and protect his father whom was nearly defeated. While Kaz did very little harm to the offender, he and Timur (who ran out with him) gave his father just the break he needed to overpower his adversary. Kaz would never be the same since.
As the months grew on and Kaz turned his first year, a new emotion wakened inside of him. It was a warmth and a tenderness he felt for a certain wolf - his puphood and best friend Azamakaios. Eventually they would fall in love and become courts.
Months would continue as their bond strengthened as the two heirs became a team just as Kivak and Hinaezuu had been together. Just before their second birthday, Kaz and Azamakaios would be inducted as the new alphas of the Earthensong as well as complete their mateship ceremony.A couple months later, the couple had their first pups - three little bundles of joy: Kaliyo, Perrin, and Micah.
Both of them thought that life was only going to get better. Kaz had no idea what was in store for him. As time wore on and the months passed Aza grew weaker. It was very slow at first and something even Kaz didn't pick up on. But as time continued, it became more evident - if still unexplainable. Slowly, Aza would retreat back from her hunting and scouting duties to more of guardian and caretaker which was closer to home. As such, Kaz took up the duties that she couldn't handle and continued on - though his worry increased.
One of the nights when Kaz was on watch, he met a young alpha named Saigh. It was friendship at first sight as the two alphas were leading their packs at a very early age with little guidance. They could identify with each others struggles and laugh at their mistakes. It was a friendship that continued even after Saigh's pack was ravaged by a massive flood.
Time continued to take its toll on Aza though. And Kaz became ever more worried about her heath without any ability to make her better. One cold February night, Aza and Kaz spent her last moments together before Aza passed away.
To say Kazmarez was sad, broken, or devastated would be a massive understatement. There was nothing more that he wanted to do than just lay on her grave and mourn. The pack did everything it could to help and comfort him. Zari even spent nights at his side. But Kaz's close friend Saigh - even living in a pack many miles away - stayed by his side through everything. Kaz often credits her with saving his life in a number of occasions when all he wanted to do was die to be with Aza once more - where-ever she might be.
With time, Kaz became more accepting of what had happened - though still upset and broken. However, a distraction in the form of a tiny blind pup would come to his rescue. One day while walking with Saigh who was trying to cheer him up, Kaz heard the cries of a little pup abandoned in the snow. It took the efforts of both Kaz and Saigh to bring her back to the safety and warmth of the clearing, but she was saved.
Kyrie, as the pup was eventually named by Kaz and Saigh, was raised in the Earthensong clearing. But both Kaz and Saigh (much to her mother's disappointment) took part in her nurturing).
...more to come
{ C H A R A C T E R - Q U I R K S }
Kaz has an extremely playful personality... but sometimes the outcome of play can be predictable. During the winter (at least), he'll get at least 1 faceful of snow at any given play session due to a silly accident (like tripping) or due to Aza's paw.
