The Lonely Rook

I used Rooks base for the Aural sheet, but this is what he actually looks like. 

Rook isn't actually all that lonely, he's part of a clan. Even though he's of Lightning Energy, he's a healer. He won't let his gift be anything more, because of the destructive power he'd experienced in the past. He's constantly vexed, not confused, just constantly thinking about how he conducts his Energy. The lightning marking is only on his left side. He also has one silver band in his left ear as well. 

"...It was dark, a pitch black night, a swirling storm. The rain hit the dirt outside the den. I watched it hit. I smelled the rain. It was relaxing. My parents, asleep by my side, my brothers, curled around me. We were warm, sleepy, filled with food. They'd known I was born of lightning. I'd watched storms since my eyes had opened....Lightning split the sky. My brother, Knight, jumped, but didn't wake. The light illuminated the whole gathering area. Two Scouts sat there, keeping watch. 

We were a small clan, numbering ten counting me. It was quick, the take over. The Scouts, taken within seconds. The scent of intruders permeated the air. My father was up and flew out of the den, my mother standing over us protectively. There was growling and snarling, my mother rumbled low in her throat, reassuring us that everything would be okay...

...the next thing I remember is being drug out of the den by the scruff of my neck. Knight and King, lay curled up in the dirt, blood staining their fur. Their eyes glowed in the night and I managed a growl. The wind howled, the rain pelted. I heard them talking.
    "This is the whelp, then? The one Alpha Jinx spoke about?" 
    "Check him." I was thrown to the side, the marking that had been with me since birth stretched out before them. 
    "That's him," came a growled voice. Fear constricted my body, but I wasn't going to let them take me. My ears flattened back. I had to find my parents. The hair on my back stood as I backed away. They surrounded me. I spun around and tumbled over something. In the dark, I didn't need to see. My mother's scent surrounded me. The life was gone, she was dead. I looked up at their shadowy forms and the air around my fizzled. The sky split. The light was blinding. The sound, defining. When I opened my eyes, they were all dead, every one of them. My shaking body felt weak, I sunk to the ground, curled into my mothers body, and let the rain fall down. Slowly, I slipped into unconsciousness. The Energy had been too much..."

And he never used the Energy again. It's on his mind constantly. He spends a lot of unneeded time alone, unless he's healing. He's kind of tragic and I didn't want to have your typical tragic/bad past/no parents character, but I thought why not? I don't have any other characters like him.
