    introduction ✦ plot ✦ wolves ✦ rules ✦ positions ✦ FAQ


    Howls echo deep into the night as dark shadows slide through the moonlight like fish through water. A pointed ear, tinged a sandy color, perks at the distant call and tilts its long muzzled head to the moon. Stars sparkle above and the heavy moon washes the dark forest below in luminescent light. The creature huffs to itself and tilts away from the sky to gaze upon its companions that whimper and shudder against the cold wind that whips its way through the snow covered trees.
    The creature starts off again, wide paws sinking into the belly deep snow and thrashing its thick tail against the frosty flakes that sprinkle down from above. "Y'Ven," A voice calls, worried with an edge of weariness. said "Y'Ven" turns to gaze upon another of its traveling group with narrowed amber eyes. "The others are cold and cannot continue for much longer." The other explains eyes flashing with pity at the distant weary sigh of another wolf. Y'Ven nods, half to himself, and turns to scan the horizon. In the distance lies a wide cave with green, snow covered foliage covering the wide maw of the cave. He dips his head towards the cave and the others perk with renewed strength before heading to their new camp.
    As the sandy colored wolf attempts to follow, he is stopped by the low, shrill call of a young pup. He turns, shoulders heaving as he opens his mouth in a shocked gasp. Surely the young pup was with its mother? But...Why would the mother be out in this cold weather? Y'Ven heads towards the sound, body dropping low as to hid his bulky form from any potential dangers. A female, painted red with blood and being picked at by crows, lays in the camp. Her head is twisted at a horrific angle and from her belly, a young pup tries to fend off the birds that attempt to pick at it.
    The older wolf pauses, hesitant for a moment before stalking out towards the pup and scattering the crows in various directions. He doesn't cast the dead female a second look as he peers down at the scrawny pup with slight pity and disdain. Thinking better of leaving the poor thing behind, he scoops it up and carries it after the pack. The cave, warmer than outside but damp against his fur, presses in on both sides as multiple eyes turn to peer at the wolf and his new charge.
    A female looks to the pup then to the male with awe and wonder. "Where did you find that?" She spits out, her mouth curling down into a sorrowful frown. The male attempts to let out an answer but the pup's scruff obscures his words making him shrug instead. Placing the pup down the pack begins to gather around in wonder to gaze upon the pup. It had been many moons since they had encountered a youngling, especially with winter rearing his ugly mug at them. What to do now...? The pack glances at one another in confusion each moving to voice their own complaints, thoughts, and feelings.


    WHAT IS THE PLOT?


    A young wolf (first come, fist serve) is brought into a small pack of wondering wolves. Over time, more wolves (once lost out in the cold or abandoned by their pack) find their way into the pack and become valued members. These wolves are soon tasked with traveling across the snowy tundra in search of the ''Elder Bird'' - A strange bird-like being with the power to restore the land and grant wishes. On their way they must care for their new found youngling and overcome the difficulties that come with new wolves, pups, the meaning of family, and their adventure.



    HOW DO ALREADY NAMED CHARACTERS WORK?


    Essentially, you adopt them, make them your own, and all of that. You can change the name if you'd like but I prefer if their cannon role stays the same. The Pup, for instance, must be named, given a personality, and an appearance all from scratch. They're a blank slate for you to write on. Their role, however, CANNOT be changed in any way.
    I left spaces open for OCs to be made, and they will be given a role in the plot. No, the plot is not character exclusive, it involves all the wolves - Every one of them. Once an already created or ''cannon'' character is claimed no one else can ask for them and will have to make your own or ask for another one. You may create a form for them (seeing as they don't have an appearance and their personalities could be expanded on) and they will be yours and yours alone. I can't stress that enough, apparently...

    Sexuality;; Bisexual (can be a flaming homosexual, however)
    Position;; Co-Leader
    Fur Color;; Strange golden-sandy color

    DIGGING DEEPER




    Written Description;; At an average height of 80 centimeters, Y'Ven is a rather scruffy looking wolf with thick, golden colored fur and narrowed, piercing amber eyes. His muzzle, long with a dark nose at the end, is scarred from various battles of which he rarely speaks about. He has narrowed amber colored eyes that constantly scan his surroundings for danger, always narrowed and vigilant. He has wide shoulders, and long, well muscled legs with wide paws and slat colored claws. His tail, slightly bent is constantly propped upon his back when he regards another wolf with that scathing look in his green eyes.




    Personality;; Often seen as well mannered and well meaning, he hides his worries with a strong façade that reeks of annoyance and self-righteousness. He holds himself in high regard and ''begrudgingly'' indulges in his other pack member's shenanigans. Despite his rude, arrogant, and overly distant personality is does truly care for his pack mates as seen in battles when he rips his way through enemies in order to reach an injured wolf. When around pups or an emotional wolf he often draws a blank as to what to do and worsens the situation by giving out a haughty quip which usually lands him with a strong and rather violent talking to. He holds his leader in high regard and often bows to their whim even if it seems stupid in the moment. He has a hidden flirty side that tends to come out around wolves who catch his interest.




    History (optional);; Born into a different and battle savvy pack, Y'Ven grew to love the thrill of battle and the feeling of blood splashing upon his paws. That all came to an abrupt and sudden halt, however, when his pack was ambushed in the dead of night and brutally slaughtered. It was then that he realized what his pack had done to others, and how it must have affected their survivors. Vowing to change, he traveled across the quickly dying land in search of a meaning and soon came upon his current pack which, shockingly, welcomed him with open arms.
    Kin;; Deceased mother and father, Deceased siblings, and an unnamed, ''deceased'' daughter.

    DIGGING DEEPER




    Written Description;;

    Ann is 2'8 and weighs 90 pounds, she is a small but sturdy female arctic wolf. She is white but often seen as more gray than anything. Her paws are usually dirty from all the hunting and running she does, she lacks big muscles but makes up for her lean body. Her body was made for speed not protecting. She has a chunk missing out of her tail and a scar running up her flank. Ann's eyes are a warm soft chestnut brown. Ann's build is surprisingly bigger however it's just for show. She doesn't have huge muscles. She has a softer type of body.




    Personality;;
    Annette is often seen speaking the mind of the other wolves. She puts their safety before her own and is quick to jump to their rescue should the need arrive. She takes up the role of being the young pup's adoptive mother who is quite taken with the youngster. Annette is very adamant in following the path that she deems the right, and only path to peace and living in harmony. She can get frustrated at times and lose her temperament but she always tries her best. She doesn't want everything to fall apart and that makes her panic at times. She thinks fast but her brain doesn't shut up. Her thoughts can be intrusive and she can't always handles things. Ann doesn't want all the burden and often feels like she has the burden on her shoulders at all times.


    History;;
    Ann wasn't born into a tradtional pack, she was raised in a peaceful hunting pack. Most of the wolves were female and often would leave and return with cubs. They worked together on everything. Ann was shown so much support and love and couldn't wait to take over as the alpha one day. Ann's mother was growing weaker and wanted her daughter to lead them into victory. However, a forest fire broke out and it expanded far. There wasn't enough time to save everyone. Ann had made a decision that day for the strong and quick hunters to go out to catch something, she too was among them. When they got home everything was gone. No one had been spared, everyone tried so hard to out run it but there were younglings, elderly and some sick. They had no strong to move or run. After that she was exiled, sent off to think about what she had done. Killed her family and disowned by her friends. She just wanders now.

    DIGGING DEEPER


    Written Description;; Rok'Sha is a representation of all her family combined. She takes after the mottled markings of her father's side of the family and has a few markings of her mother's side. The coloring comes from both sides of the family, but her base color is white much like both parents.


    The once small, fragile female has now grown far beyond her prime. What was once puppy fat has now turned into thick muscle and strong built limbs. She clearly isn't a runner, and is built for more stamina and brute force opposed to speed. Her fur hides most of the well defined muscles, but she has more muscle mass in her shoulders and chest than anywhere else. She has thick fur much like both parents. She is born and made for the arctic climate and will keep her fluffy fur year round. It is thickest around her neck, chest, stomach, and tail. Even her paws have more fur than normal. Her broad chest, high shoulders, and well-defined form make her a very gorgeous goddess. One that did, and still does, attract masculines and feminines alike.


    Rok'Sha looks like she's been through a gray scale editing program and then spit back out. Her main color is white and the only splash of color she has is her eyes, which are a blue green with yellow rings orbiting her pupils in specks. Light gray overlays the white and covers most of her body. Starting at her muzzle it travels down her coat, yet it avoids her lower jaw, neck, chest, front legs, lower half of her back legs, her stomach, and underneath her tail. White spots are above her eyes much like a husky's. There is also a spot on the female's back that is completely white. It is hidden behind the high shoulders that she inherited from her mother's side.


    The last color on the babe is black which comes from both sides. On her face the black creeps up from a gray nose and travels up to her forehead and spreads out before stopping. She carries the same tear marks that is common on her mother's side. She resembled her aunt because the colors of the tears are black, unlike her mother's vibrant blue-green. Both ears are tipped with black and the right ear has an extra ragged stripe underneath the tipped ear. One last marking shows that she resembled her mother. She carries the same black spot on her chest that resembled a hole where her heart resides. The other markings come from her father's side. Black travels up her shoulders and form around the white marking lying behind shoulder blades. It also travels down the front of her front legs and line both haunches down to the knees.


    Personality;; Just like the ghoul her pardons of guns and roses lie solely on the devil's head. She's manifested into something far worse than a sinner, than a succubus, she's labeled the siren in the night. Preying off the innocent souls in this world, her manipulative antics is something to watch out for. She can easily lure any organism who lets down their walls for just a second, with that she will use her quick excuse-making and justifying accusations to allure them. She is the cat and you are the mouse, and this is her game. she always wins, no matter the price she may pay. this goddess has a problem manipulating anyone who knows how she works, though when someone new and interesting catches her eye; they better watch out. she uses certain tactics to accomplish her demise, which are: conceal her aggressive intentions and invite you to fear, be doubtful, or optimally to concede or give in. manipulation comes with the trait of "good read", meaning she can pick up on someone almost instantaneously and know them from the inside-out. if her victim has sensitivities, fears, insecurities, core beliefs, level of conscientiousness than that opens a vast opportunity to using that person's traits against a covert war of dominance. being focused also comes with this trait, if your not focused than you can't be manipulative now can you? exactly, this is the reason why she's a manipulative bitch.


    Seductive, when she wants to be seductive, she makes all the right moves and says all the right things; of course only to get a masculine wrapped around her paw she will indulge upon accessing his personal space. her body will usually come down to being the motivator, seducing the male by series of body language to clog his head with her sexual intentions. though, as she won't always use her seductive tactics for sexual affairs she will also use them to show her feelings as well. but we all know that's never the case for Rok'Sha unless she really has deep genuine feels for you.


    Survivalist, Rok'Sha has a keen ability to adapt to hazardous situations, has a strong will and commitment to survive and will do so to her highest advantage. Rok'Sha's extremely heightened sense of self-preservation has helped her develop a knack for creating elaborate plans and deceptions. even when she takes a risk, which must be well worth it, she proceeds with caution and a means of escape in place. thus, despite whatever feelings she has for someone, it cannot be certain whether she would save their lives over her own, though the evidence so far suggests Rok'Sha could not help but choose her own survival above all else, which brings out her intelligent trait, albeit she will not hesitant to risk her life at the expense of her pack. For that is where her loyalty lies.


    Feisty, Rok'Sha isn't a delicate, shrinking flower. she doesn't hesitate to tell anyone what she's thinking, she let's her opinions be known in the past and will not bite her tongue for as long as she lives. whether or not she's just shooting the breeze with her pack or participating in a serious debate, she'll want to let the people around her know what she's thinking, even if it's something they won't agree with. this has benefits beyond just making her seem feisty — a fearless expression of her opinions can lead others to respect her for her boldness, even if they don't agree with her. as a feisty individual, just as she'll want to let the people around her know what she's thinking, she does not give two flying fucks if you are God - she will snap at your thorax and no regret if she comes in contact with flesh. if she wants to laugh she will. if she wants to cry she will. if she wants to shout in somebody's face she will. she is quick to hurt someone's feelings, and to be honest, she doesn't really care. her words can hurt.


    Cruel, Rok'Sha is a self proclaimed narcissist, dishonest and insidious female. trying to reform her by reasoning with her or by appealing to her better nature is about as effective as spitting in the ocean. what you see is what you get: they have no better nature. the fundamental problem here is that this narcissist lacks empathy. the behavior pattern is inflexible across all personal and social situations and significantly impairs her social or occupational functioning. Rok'Sha is cruel to whoever threatens her safety or her loved ones. she does have cruel intentions, when severely angered and her demons start to come out all she sees is the color red and blacks out. after that, there's no telling what could happen. maybe, murder in the 1st degree..


    Selfish, her personal motto - "better you die than i" - does well to encapsulate her instinct for self-preservation as well as the detached cruelty. she is selfish, not selfless like she used to be. no, that side of her is long gone, she will do anything in her power to benefit herself before others, but will make and exception for her pack. putting herself first in everything, and never has she been a fan of sharing things or someone. but still, Rok'Sha may be selfish but there is a side of her that seeps out to show the sweet and innocent little girl who once said that life is to cruel to live without love.


    Tough, Rok'Sha may look weak, but she is strong mentally and physically, so never underestimate her. she'll always prove you wrong, and when you think you can take her on, that's where she'll turn around and bite you in the ass. the bitch is always two steps ahead of her enemies. her hardcore outer shell proves to be tough and made for crude remarks and iron clad punches, just so she can dish them right back. tough is never a metaphor nor foreign trait to Rok'Sha.


    Independent, Rok'Sha is an analytic and witty fae. she is normally self-confident and does not let herself get worked up by conflicts and criticism. she is very much aware of her own strengths and has no doubts about her abilities. she loves being as flexible as possible and, ideally, of being able to work alone because she often finds it a strain having to make her complex trans of thought understandable to other people. she cannot stand routine. once she considers an idea to be good it is difficult to make her give it up; she pursues the implementation of that idea obstinately and persistently, also in the face of external opposition.


    History;; to be revealed
    Kin;; Mufasa [brother], Gasepi [sister]
    Strengths;; fighting, combat strategist, leadership, motherhood
    Weakness;; speed, heights, hunting isn't really her specialty but she knows how, and love.
