    PLOT


    [center]


    * note: these wolves are shapeshifters and can shift from their wolf form into their human form whenever they please. I forgot to mention it in the plot so just saying this ahead of time.


    So basically i'm going to try and explain this without confusing anyone. The main plot idea is that this roleplay will start off with a group of omega wolves that break off from their pack in hopes to escape the pack's cruel leader, Alistar. All of the omega wolves have been friends since day one and have always backed each other up until one day they decide that the leader's cruel rules are too much. Deciding to escape and form their own little group, these omega wolves quickly flee from the territory and past the boarder where they are then safe on the other side of the mountain. The issue? Well, Alistar isn't happy to hear that 10 omegas are trying to flee his rule and begin to pack members to hunt them down in hopes of dragging them back and either banishing them or killing them. None of them are safe until they pass the territory border that separates them from another strong pack that has a much lighter and nicer rule. So in all this will be about a pack of 10 omegas running away from their terrible pack and attempting to flee to another pack for safety but like a lot of dangerous crap, drama, and romance cause why not. We will both be playing 5 characters each and I ask that each character varies a bit like gender, sexuality, etc. This plot will involve pairings at some point so you know, it's nice to have it different and some that are closer than others with different personalities.

    RULES


    [center]


    Alright so assuming you're at this point you must be somewhat interested. Or you might be just checking to see if I have a stick up my ass when it comes to rules. Anyways, I really only have three golden rules! It isn't that hard to follow so please don't argue them. c: thanks!



    ♦ Please be somewhat advanced and somewhat active. I ask for at least a paragraph a post and a post a day.




    ♦ Please be somewhat mature. This thread might or might not involve fighting, cursing, etc.




    ♦ Only track if you're going to join within the new one to two hours! I would like to get this thread going and if it's taken or you're afraid it will be just message me! c: I'm always open to making private threads with the same or even different plots.


    [color=#000000]Also, as a side note, i would like to add that when it comes to forms it can be as simple as mine or advanced. Personally I don't have much muse with forms so I understand and usually like putting most effort into the actual roleplay. This thread is also a multiple character roleplay. While I do not require insane posts for each character I expect each of them to have a little piece of their own.



    Tessa "Tess"


    Justin


    Ares


    Austin "Aus"


    Jessie "Jess"


    [center] just jump in with 5 small forms like mine!


    Jocelyn
    Bisexual, prefers girls • 17 • Female • "Smalls"


    Being one of the smaller omegas in the pack, she knows people assume she is easily beat, and control.
    But she is the complete opposite, with a strong head on her shoulders, she believes she can beat any opponent, no matter
    size. She is snide, and cunning, and that gives her the ability to defeat people, and get her way. She has as much
    confidence in herself as an alpha would.




    Derrick
    Questioning • 19 • Male • "Dee"


    Even being an omega, Derrick still possesses leader qualities, and is very dominate. Being the oldest in the group, he
    feels it is his duty to protect the others, and keep a level head to make the hard decisions. He will never call himself the "Leader"
    of the band of misfits, but he sees himself as such. He finds it difficult to let people get to know him, he is very closed off.




    Logan
    Pansexual, prefers girls • 18 • Female • "Lo"


    Very intelligent, but has her naive moments. She is the type of girl who believes someone flirting with her
    is just someone who's being friendly and complimenting her. She was never one for fighting, but
    when they had taken off she had quickly become accustomed to it, and was rather good at it.




    Dakota
    Homosexual • 16 • Male


    Feminine, with a heaping amount of sass. He isn't someone easily impressed, but he does give credit where he
    sees its due. He prefers to in a group, because it gives him a sense of security in a way solitude can't, so you're more likely
    to find him hanging out with one of the other members of the band of misfits than by himself.




    Ava
    Bisexual • 17 • Female

    She is a girl that, when she wants her way, she will do anything to get it. Her main weapon is her
    looks. She wishes to just become human, and not have to deal with the pack life, and just be a normal teenage girl.
    She prefers solitude over anything else, but usually sticks with the group for protection because she fears fighting, and
    conflict.





    This took a lot longer than i thought, but i hope these characters are okay c:

    The post was edited 4 times, last by Xerxes. ().


    [color=black]- they're all great! c: I'm going to start at where they kinda just meet together before starting to run away. also I apologize for the crappy starter. cx I suck at starting off.


    It was the midst of night when Tessa exited the den, her fur ruffled as she silently made her way out. Almost every wolf in the pack was sound asleep at this time of night besides her and her friends. Or, well, they shouldn't be asleep. The group had planned their escape for a while until it was decided on this night to finally leave before they could be marked as missing.


    "Justin, Ares, and Jess are already there. I saw them heading out not long ago, though I haven't seen anyone else." Tessa's shoulders tensed at the silent whisper, her gaze snapping around until it landed on Austin's slim framed wolf form. Tessa let out a sigh of relief, her rounded ears pinning against her head as she nodded in response. "Alright, let's head out now. They should be meeting us there." Tessa murmured lowly as she finally began to pad towards the camp entrance, Austin quickly padding alongside her with his ears perked in alert.


    --


    "Alright, here we are. It's still at least one so no one in the pack should be awake for hours. We have a bit." Tessa's voice was much louder as the two finally reached the large tree where they would gather. Almost at first arrival Tessa could spot out Jess, her white pelt sticking out like a sore thumb as she sat by the dark tree trunk. The girl seemed rather tired, her ears pinned and her eyes squinting as she attempted to stay awake.


    "Ares and Justin are right over there, Tess." Austin chimed in once seeing the girl was scanning the area, his tail swaying towards the other side of the tree where the much darker wolves sat. Justin seemed almost as tired as Jess while Ares was wide awake, her frame sitting tall as her sharp gaze landed on the two.


    "Now all we can do is wait for the others. Hopefully they'll show up within the next hour." Tess said, her voice seeming somewhat concerned as she padded towards Ares and Justin. As she took a seat in front of the two she couldn't help but fear that the other wolves had forgot or gotten caught up in something. The night would be a hit or miss and they had to get away as soon as they came, if they did.

    Jocelyn hadn't been able to sleep the whole night, her nerves had felt like they
    were burning under her skin, due to the fact that she was scared of getting caught
    in the midst of their plans. Logan was curled up next to her, mostly because the two
    would always sleep together. Jocelyn was small, and was always scared of someone
    hurting her while she slept, so Logan had started sleeping with her when she was restless
    and they had become the closest of friends from it.


    In the shadows of the den, Jocelyn could see a shadowy figure walking in the distance.
    It neared, and she finally realised it was Derrick, coming to make sure they were awake,
    and ready to go. "Jocelyn," He said as he neared the two, "are you two ready?" When he spoke,
    it spooked Logan, and it caused her to wake, and snarl at him. "I take that as a yes?"


    Logan came to her senses, and then laid her head back down on the ground.
    "Don't do that." Logan mumbled, and it caused Jocelyn to laugh. They both had gotten to their feet,
    and they slowly made their way out of the den, cautious to not disturb any sleeping wolf.


    The trio saw Dakota and Ava standing outside of the den, and Logan assumed Derrick had rounded
    them up before he had gotten her and Jocelyn. Then had all set off toward the tree line,
    to meet up with the other five wolves.


    Once they were in the safety of the trees, they headed to the large tree in a sprint.
    But when they got to the area they all skidded to a stop when they heard voices, staying weary of
    the fact that it couldn't be the others. "I'll go see if it's them," Jocelyn said, knowing she was small,
    and she would be able to hide in the bushes easier. She crawled closer to the tree, her ears pinned
    to her head in an effort to get smaller than she already was. When she heard Tessa's voice, her head
    shot up. "Guys, it's them." She watched as four other wolves emerged from the surrounding trees,
    and bushes.


    Derrick had walked over, to Tessa. "Did everyone get here safely?" He asked, watching as a very sleepy
    Dakota had     sat next to Austin. Jocelyn had sat next to Jess, nudging under her chin to try and keep her awake.
    Logan was sitting next to Ava, and that caught Derrick by surprise that she wasn't with Jocelyn. Ava was next
    to Justin, and she leaned against him, being just as tired as he was.


    [color=black][center] Tessa felt her shoulders tense under her pelt as the sound of paw steps could be heard faintly. The girl glanced over her shoulder in concern, only to be relieved when her gaze met Derrick's and the others. "Yeah, everyone is here and safe. As far as I know no one even heard us leave, which is a good sign." She explained to the boy, her gaze shifting around the now group of 10.


    Austin gave a small chuckle at the sight of a tired Dakota sitting next to him, amusement playing in his canine orbs. "It seems like a lot of us are tired. While I would like to take a break and have a bit of rest we should probably start heading off now. We can make it a mile or two away and possibly rest then, but only because it'll be a good distance away." Austin said, his gaze shifted back to Derrick and Tessa. Tessa only shrugged and nodded. "Sounds reasonable. What do you think, Dee?" Tessa glanced towards the male with a questioning look.


    Austin glanced over towards the other wolves for a second, taking a small count on everyone and seeing what was going on. Justin seemed to be still tired as usual, now only to have Ava leaning up against him which he seemed to have no issues with. Jess on the other hand jumped slightly at the touch of the other wolf, her eyes flying open for a minute before her muscles relaxed at the sight of the girl. Jess gave a small yawn, her canine jaw cracking open and stretching before she leaned up against Jocelyn.


    "Yeah, we definitely have some tired people." He muttered sharply as he finally looked back to Tessa and Derrick, his tail tucking by his side carefully as he put his full attention back onto them. While Austin was usually goofy and feminine acting it was a rather serious moment for everyone, even for him. He knew the consequences of getting caught and would rather take all the chances and flee as far as possible.

    Derrick looked over at Dakota as he slumped over, seemingly falling asleep again.
    He watched as he leaned down farther and farther until his nose touched the ground, and
    his head shot up again. He mumbled something about how he agrees to the plan so he can go to sleep
    asap. "Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. Maybe after the first mile we can see how everyone is. Maybe,
    we could get two or three down before dawn."


    Jocelyn looked down at the sleepy Jess that was laying against her, and it made her want to laugh.
    "It looks like they're thinking about leaving soon, so try to sleep as much as you can." She said,
    giggling. She leaned her head on Jess', and closed her eyes also.


    Logan had plopped down next to Ares. She tried to go back to sleep, but the fact that the girl next to
    her was still wide awake amazed her. "Ares, how are you so awake?" She said, sleepily.

    [color=black][center] Tessa chuckled at Dakota as the boy seemed to struggle with staying awake, though he seemed to give in once muttering a word or two. "Alright, so it's a plan. I'll make sure everyone gets ready to head out. We can't waste much time." The girl said as she finally stood, her tail giving a small sway as she stepped out to the small clearing in front of the tree. "Alright guys! We need to head out now or very soon so get somewhat awake if you can. We're going to push for a mile and depending on how others are we will either stop and rest or continue on for a few more miles and then we can stop." She informed them, making sure to keep her voice loud enough for everyone to hear though she also kept it low enough so that any other possible wolves couldn't hear.


    Jess gave a small whine as she heard Tessa's announcement, her ears pinning back as she kept her white pelt leaning against the girl's. "It's too early for this." She muttered with another small grumble and whine, her tail twitching tiredly as she gave a tiny sigh. She shuffled her paws slightly as she finally forced her eyes open, blinking a few times in hopes of waking up.


    Ares' gaze shifted to the girl as she spoke, her ears flickering back as she rolled her eyes. "How are you almost sleeping when we're about to escape this hell hole." She butted back in her usual flat tone, though she obviously meant no offense to the girl. Ares shifted on her paws slightly before sighing and standing. "We have to go like Tess said. You can sleep in a bit." She told the girl as she leaned down, her nose nudging at the girl's cheek in attempts to liven the girl up slightly.

    Once Tessa made her announcement, Ava let out a low growl,
    and leaned into Justin even more. "I wish we could just teleport away from here,
    then take a nice nap." She stood, then stretched with her but in the air, and her jaws
    wide open. "But I think leaving with be worth the missing shut eye." She said, although
    her words were slurred.


    Logan looked up from her spot on the ground as Ares spoke, and her words caused her to huff.
    "That's what can force me to get up, and go." She said, laughing tiredly. She left Ares' nose
    at cher cheek, and she got to her paws. She let out a long yawn, "Let's get going, I guess."


    Jocelyn felt Jess lean farther into her, and she nuzzled her cheek. "The faster we get going, the
    faster you can go to sleep Jess." She said softly to the sleepy wolf. Jocelyn had stood up also, and tried
    to clear her head. She watched as the other girl tried to wake up.


    Derrick saw as the wolves got to their feet, one of the last ones being Dakota. "I guess we should get
    going, right Tess?"

    [color=black][center] Tessa nodded and turned. "Yeah, we should get going. So we have time." Tessa said before she began to pad off into the woods, hoping that the others would follow her. She kept her pace easy, trying not to make the tired wolves too worked up.


    Justin began to wake up slowly, though he still looked as tired as before. He gave a sharp sigh and stood, stretching his paws in front of him and yawning before he stood straight. "Hey, at least we get to rest after a bit." He said with a soft sigh and began to pad off after Tessa who then began to walk off into the woods.


    Ares only nodded a she began to pad off, leaving Logan a few paces behind as she began to speed up slightly. She was ready to go and would enjoy any minute away from this hell hole.


    Jess whined softly like before, her ears pinning against her head as she stood. She glanced at the girl with a still tired look before she began to slowly pad after the others, hoping that Jocelyn would follow after. Jess wasn't a real crowd type of person but she needed someone to help keep her awake, especially when her head hung low as she walked behind the others with her usual sleepy look.


    Austin stood and chuckled before he began to pad after Tessa, speeding up slightly to catch up with the girl.

    Derrick kept pace with Tessa, and looked over his shoulder at the other wolves.
    "You know, I hope these miles come quickly. They look like they need sleep, but sadly,
    they can't right now."


    Logan just sighed as Ares moved far ahead of her, and she walked a few paces back.
    She took slow sleepy steps. She tried to keep up with the other girl, but her body wasn't letting
    her in any way. It caused her to grunt, then look back for Jocelyn. But when she found Jocelyn with Jess,
    she decided to leave her alone and stay at her own pace. If someone wanted her company, they could
    come to her themselves, because she hated the feeling of following others around for their company.


    Jocelyn laughed at Jess' sleepiness, and kept close to her as they walked. She was there for Jess to lean
    on if she needed to. Jocelyn also didn't want her to get left by getting to sleepy, and far behind, so she stayed next
    to her.


    Dakota grunted as Austin went away to join Tessa, and looked around for someone else to join up with.
    His canine eyes landed on Justin, and Ava. He trotted over to them, realising they were probably the sleepiest
    out of the group, and it caused him to laugh. He had woken up a little more when he had started to move around.

    [color=black][center]Tessa gave a small sigh but kept her gaze ahead of them. "Yeah, hopefully. I'd hate to lose time because they can't rest. We just really need to get away a bit, ya know?" She said with another sigh.


    Ares finally caught up with Austin and Tessa, her tail twitching behind her as she held her head low. She didn't speak and only followed, ready to get the mile out of the way.


    Jess was relieved when the girl stayed by her side as they walked, her eyes watching ahead of them as they walked on. She wasn't wobbly but Jess easily got distracted sometimes. The girl sighed and leaned against her slightly as they walked, slowly waking up a bit more by the minute though she still kept a look of sleepiness.


    Justin glanced at the other boy as he joined them, offering him a small wolf like grin though he still looked tired as ever. Yawning, his gaze flickered back ahead as he continued to walk. "God, this is such a pain. At least we're getting away, though."

    Derrick looked over at Tessa, and nodded. "I understand, and getting as far away as possible
    is the best for the group." He mostly stayed silent for awhile, thinking about the search party that would be
    out for them when the sun rose. It made him shudder.


    Jocelyn felt Jess lean into her as they walked, and she looked over to the sleepy white wolf.
    "This walk will be over quickly, then you'll be able to sleep Jess." She said, trying to reassure the girl
    that eventually, they'll be safe, and able to sleep. Jocelyn saw Logan a few steps ahead,
    and noticed how her head was low, and her tail down. She thought of reasons why Logan seemed
    to be acting weird, but she brushed it off that she was tired.


    Dakota scoffed when Justin spoke, "Isn't that the truth, but the farther away, the less likely to get found."
    He heard Ava sigh, "You're right, I just wish things wouldn't be so hard." She commented.

    [color=black][center] Tessa only listened for a minute, keeping silent after Derrick agreed with her statement. "I was thinking we should hunt down a cave of some sort once we're at least a mile. I doubt everyone will make it past a mile but a cave will give us shelter and finding us will be much more difficult." She suggested after a moment or two of silence, glancing over at the boy to see what his reaction would be.


    Jess yawned softly. "If you say so. Hopefully we don't have to go farther than a mile." Jess muttered softly in her usual low tone, her gaze shifting to the girl for a second before returning ahead of them. She kept herself leaned against her slightly, ears still pinned. "What's up with her?" She asked after a second, her gaze finally following the girl's to Logan. "You think it'd be a happy moment to be escaping." She added with a sharp sigh, another small yawn escaping her muzzle.


    Justin just shrugged as he sighed. "It can't always be easy. At least we have the chance to leave." He replied with a yawn, his gaze still glued ahead.

    Jess' question caused Jocelyn to laugh a little, "Logan isn't exactly what you would call
    a morning person. She could sleep for 24 hours, and still not get enough sleep." She nudged the
    other girls neck softly, hoping it'll help her wake a little more. "Deep down, she is very excited,
    you just have to get past the big bad wolf exterior."


    Derrick nodded at her proposal, "That sounds like a plan, once we hit the mile mark, we
    can look around." He looked down at his paws, then back at Tessa. "But they're probably few,
    and far between, so we might have to go a little ways over a mile to find one." He commented,
    hoping she would get where he is coming from. Just stumbling over a cave would be lucky, "We
    can keep our eyes peeled."


    "Sometimes I'm envious of humans, because they can do as they please. They can be poor, and become
    rich by marrying the right person." Ava commented, looking over at Justin and Dakota. "But we're omegas,
    and that's all we will ever be. Even if we are like Derrick, or Tessa, and have admirable qualities, and have the
    ability to be strong leaders, we would still only be omegas. At least that's how it was under Alistar's rule." She sighed.
    Then Dakota decided to speak up, "Hopefully where we are going, would be different. We have to keep a good head
    on our shoulders Ava."

    [color=black][center] Jess forced herself to stop leaning against the girl when she felt her nose against her neck, her ears twitching on top of her head. "Oh." She said simply before falling back to her usual quiet self. As they walked she would stop for a second but quickly speed up once realizing, even leaning to the side a bit as she walked though she also quickly corrected that.


    Tessa gave a sharp nod. "Yeah, we won't find one on the mile mark but at least it's within a mile, ya know? Plus it's worth it when it's a lot safer." She replied, her tail swaying behind her as Austin sped up slightly to walk beside the two. He glanced over. "Hopefully it's closer to the mile mark than the second mile mark. Some people are looking really tired." He chuckled softly.


    Justin kept quiet as the girl spoke, disliking the fact that he silently agreed with it. Humans had it easy. They didn't run from where they were birthed because they were born a certain way. At least they usually could change, though no Omega could change who they were. Most were born with it in their blood. "Tessa said they're nice and protect anyone as long as they help protect the pack. They don't care where you're from and respect everyone." He added, hoping that it was as good as it was said to be.

    Jocelyn noticed Jess stop leaning on her, but didn't think too much of it. "What do you think
    the other pack is like?" She asked, looking over at Jess. She still walked with the sleepy girl, seeing
    that she was swaying. "If you still need to lean on me, you can." She offered.


    "We will find one as soon as possible." Derrick said, his tail swayed slightly. "I'm just nervous,
    about everything." Derrick looked behind himself, noticing that Logan had caught up to them. She
    walked at a slow pace, but her long legs helped her walk faster. She looked grumpy, really grumpy.


    "But had Tessa been there personally? We won't know until we arrive." Ava said, her tiredness blocking
    out her filter. She never spoke like this, just letting her thoughts out willy nilly. Dakota then looked over at her,
    "You and I both know Tessa is trustworthy, so there is no reason not to believe her in this situation." There was
    a small growl in his voice, almost unnoticeable.

    [color=black][center] Jess thought about the question for a minute, trying not to lean on the girl despite her reassurance that she could lean on her. "People say they're nice but I dunno. Everyone in these packs seem terrible and I really don't even like the idea of being in a pack anymore. I mean, what's the point? They only treat others bad anyways." She pointed out with a gentle shrug before glancing at the ground, keeping her pace.


    "Understandable." Tessa commented at his nervous part before glancing over her shoulder also to see Logan. She then glanced back ahead, Austin taking his turn to glance back before also continuing on. "It's worth it all, at least. It's either we run with pride or we sit back in that stupid pack and let them treat us like we're trash." He said, ears pinning back as he grumbled his annoyance.


    Justin sighed slightly. "Yeah, Tessa wouldn't lie and have us risk our lives to run for no good. She is treated just as bad, if not worse because of her attitude." He pointed out before chuckling. "Anyways, I'm sure whatever they have going on can't be worse than Alistar's rule. He treats everyone like they're not worthy licking the dirt off the bottom of his paws." He added, scowling slightly before shaking his head in annoyance.
