ＰＨＹＳＩＣＡＬ ＤＥＳＣＲＩＰＴＩＯＮ
Though not as tall as his brother, Axel makes up for the difference by being lithe and agile. He stands around five foot, eleven inches and weighs around one hundred and eighty pounds. It gives him a solid build, but it is nothing like his older brother, who has always dwarfed him.
He has a nice glow about him, a killer smile, and dark hair that has only recently picked up some gray streaks. He keeps his facial hair at a light stubble. AJ's eyes are a soft hazel color, which he received from his father's side. He has a thin, ovalish face, and his forehead has begun to pick up wrinkles, similar to his brother. Unlike his brother, however, he dresses in jeans, t-shirts or flannel, and work boots without fail. His mirrored sunglasses are a favorite accessory.
ＰＥＲＳＯＮＡＬＩＴＹ
While his brother was the golden child of the Wolff family once upon a time, Axel has certainly stepped up to the plate and proved himself as a worthy leader of the pack. Once, he acted out desperately to escape his brother's shadow, but in recent years, having no one to be compared to, Axel has found his niche. Growing up, he expected life as just another member of the pack, planning to hold few responsibilities, if any.
A testament to his character and ability to stay calm on the outside under pressure, Axel keeps his stress to himself and balls up any personal fears. Instead, he has retained his wit and charm, using it as a sort of coping mechanism. He is unafraid to doll out a fair share of sarcasm in all that he says and does. Still, it comes with an undertone of affection, for all he does now, he does for the pack. However, should a pack member act out, he is quick to get down to business and show a more up-tight side of himself. These quick changes in demeanor show just how overwhelmed he truly is under the facade he shows. Get on his good side, however, and he will show his deeper, friendly nature.
Being completely unprepared for the role of Alpha, Axel certainly struggles with insecurities at every turn. He knows he wasn't the first pick, and he constantly worries that the pack still compares him to Al even though his brother has been gone for years.
ＬＩＫＥＳ
✔ His Motorcycle - Ever since he received his license years ago, Axel has ridden bikes, against the wishes of his father
✔ The Diner - To him, Felix's Diner symbolizes family and the pack, for it holds so many fond memories of his childhood
✔ Being Outside - Like any werewolf, Axel loves being in nature whenever possible
✔ His Guitar - He's been playing the guitar since he was in sixth grade
✔ Being Busy - As a man who is naturally fidgety, Axel enjoys being occupied with some sort of pressing task, lest he grow restless and irritated
ＤＩＳＬＩＫＥＳ
✖ Hubris - Perhaps a bit hypocritical, Axel hates those with an inflated ego
✖ Cats - Is it the wolf in him that hates cats? Maybe, but they just annoy him in general
✖ Guns - He has never been a good shot, and the recoil of guns always frightened him as a boy
✖ Losing - He's a sore loser, a trait common among Wolff men, and takes criticism and loss very heavily
✖ Being Alone - Much like his brother, AJ's greatest fear is being isolated from others
ＦＥＡＲＳ
☠ Death, in general
☠ Guns
☠ Losing his place as Alpha

ＢＩＯＧＲＡＰＨＹ
Axel Wolff was born as the second son of Richard and Laura Wolff. Albrecht was already a boisterous and attention-seeking four year old when Axel came into the world. Intimidated by his tall, aggressive older brother, Axel often clung to his parents and the adults of the pack. As he began walking and talking, he often isolated himself to the edges of his brother's play groups - observing, but never joining in lest his brother turn on him.
When he was old enough to begin attending school, he quickly took to companions that had no supernatural ties or, at least, were not werewolves. It gave him a chance to escape his brother's shadow - something he craved wholeheartedly. While Al excelled in school and became the golden child of the family, Axel used the lack of attention he received to stay out late and tarnish the family reputation. He was known as something of a heart-throb and a wild child throughout high school. Axel played the guitar, rode a motorcycle, and spent his free time being something of a degenerate.
His saving grace, however, was the time his father made him spend at Felix's Diner. It mellowed him slightly, made him spend more time around his brother, and fostered his cooking ability. While Al spent his days with his girlfriend Sydney and slowly taking on responsibilities of Alpha, Axel graduated and began to work full-time at the diner. And so it seemed his life would become an endless cycle of working and partying, but then his life fell apart.
He was twenty-three when Albrecht skipped town on the night before the wedding, taking a fair amount of Richard and Laura's savings with him. Though Richard was still Alpha, he suffered a heart attack soon after his elder son's departure, and he died soon after. The pack fell into leaderless chaos. Axel was left to pick up the mess, and for the first time in his life, he rose to the challenge. He began dating Sydney, Al's ex-fiancee, in hopes of rebuilding the pack with the help of someone the others already trusted. And so, his life fell back into a new routine, albeit a far more stressful, demanding routine. Six years have passed since Al skipped town, and Axel has given up any hope that Al might return. In fact, he wouldn't know what to do with himself if Al did show up and try to take the pack back.
