♖ ＣＨＥＳＳ ♜ | Sign Up | High Ranks Open

♚The King ♔ -> Ruler of the pack, having inherited a title that is passed from father to eldest son. In the event of a leader passing without any surviving sons or brothers to take his place, the most senior (male) Knight can claim the position. Mages can also choose to make a claim. The position is usually settled by a pack vote, though direct challenges between two young rivals can also be settled by a fight.

♕ The Queen ♛ -> One of the strongest female warriors in the pack, chosen by the King for her prowess in battle. She is not the mate of the king by default, though it's not unusual for that to happen after a time. Their responsibilities are primarily protecting the King, but on the battlefield they are expected to call the shots. However, they have no political influence beside their own personal opinion when it comes to councils of the higher ranked wolves. They're glorified bodyguards and little more. Wolves are expected to obey them out of respect for the Alpha, regardless. Disobedience is taken seriously, least of all by the Queen herself.

♗ The Mages ♝ -> The healers of the pack; they are not only responsible for healing physical wounds, but mental ones too. As far as power-brokers go, the mages have a lot of influence on the decisions of the pack, but they do not have the power to issue orders.

♘ The Knights ♞ -> Equivalent to the Betas of the pack, responsible for keeping the law and order in the pack, as well as assisting the King in his decisions. They have the power to issue orders and, in an ideal world, have as much influence on decisions as the Mages.

♖ The Rooks ♜ -> They organize the defense and maintenance of the camp, including setting vigils and hunting. They barely have any more influence than pawns and can only issue minor sanctions when their suggestions aren't followed. Repeated issues mus be sorted by one of the Knights, the king or the Queen.

♙ Pawns ♟ -> Hunters, scouts and fighters, rolled into one. They form the main body of the pack. Pawns under 2 years old are "apprentice" pawns, those between 2 and 4 are "juniors" and those over 4 years old are generally the strongest, known as "seniors". Pawns over 8 years old are considered "retired" and are exempt from having to fight - unless it is an emergency. They have little influence on pack decisions until they are retired, but by pulling together and voting unanimously in the favour of one choice they can potentially overrule the King, if half of the higher ranked wolves agree.

TYRAEMAR

☆☆☆

NAME→

Tyraemar ("Tie-ray-mar"), but he prefers Ty.

GENDER →

Cismale

AGE →

47

☆

ALLEGIANCE→

Black

POSITION →

King

☆

DESCRIPTION →

A kind hearted and vaguely noble King who - although not afraid to lay down the law at a push - generally believes in his people settling their own disputes among themselves, only stepping into intra-pack conflicts when things start getting violent. Whether out of sheer laziness or just a huge level of trust, nobody is really sure.

As an individual, he's perhaps not the bravest, but so entirely devoted to his pack he never seems to show his constant inner paranoia and rules (on those few occasions where he decides to actually use his authority) calmly and reliably. At least, until he can safely pass the task across to a subordinate. And, once those hours have passed, he quickly returns to the quietly cheerful brute that insists everybody calls "Ty" and tries to "raise morale" with his awful jokes. To everybody's despair. As surprisingly smooth a talker as the alpha can be, his jokes unfortunately aren't quite on the same level.

His body is of average size, well-proportioned, sleek black and markingless, with bright green eyes and a smile larger than he is himself. Though his paws are noticeably on the large size, and his fur is somewhat shorter than you'd expect in this part of the land.

FARIANAERA

☆☆☆

NAME→

Farianaera ("Far-y-an-erah"), or Faria ("Far-y-a")

GENDER →

Cisfemale

AGE →

42 moons, or three and a half years.

☆

ALLEGIANCE→

White

POSITION →

Queen

☆

DESCRIPTION →

A cold, somewhat agressive fae who can always be relied upon to do whatever has to be done, no matter how dangerous, bloody or amoral it may be. She's an ambivert who excels in getting her point across quickly and efficiently, even if she doesnt wear her heart on her sleeve. The same efficiency carries across into her actions; she strongly believes the end justifies the means, and once handed a task will stop at nothing to complete it. However, although selfless, fearless and extremely hard-working, it's fair to say she doesn't have many other talents than for shedding others' blood - even if, in that one talent, she stands far above any other - and wreaking havoc. Nevertheless, she was chosen for her quick wits and superior strength, not her (non-existent) sense of compassion or her (non-existent) talent for catching rabbits, and she does her job well. Her lack of sense of smell and stealth impairment has nothing on that.

Heavily scarred, tall and thick furred, Faria is a female often mistaken for a brute at first glance. Her ears are somewhat tattered and her tail is long enough to skim the ground as she walks. Her fur also has a silvery-blue cast in some lights, and her eyes are a dull gunmetal. She tends to move with long, vaguely irregular strides, reflecting her aptitude as a long-distance runner rather than a sprinter.

WENLYN

☆☆☆

NAME→

Wenlyn. Lyn, affectionately.

GENDER →

Cismale

AGE →

72 moons, or around six years

☆

ALLEGIANCE→

White.

POSITION →

Former Knight, now a Senior Pawn, following his defeat in a challenge.

☆

DESCRIPTION →

A violently loyal brute with a lingering superiority complex and a motto somewhere along the lines of “duty has no higher limit”, he’s usually found at the side of either the King or the Queen, and - no matter how badly they may treat him from day to day - he loves them fiercely. The term “blind loyalty” comes to mind. Like his cousin, the Queen Faria, he is the fearless, reliable type, but is also highly combative and metaphorically trigger-happy. To him, a kill is a means to an end and nothing more. One less obstacle in their path to victory. If his King and Queen will it, then it will be done.

But despite that vague callousness and his gruff manner, he’s proud and level-headed and he knows when to cut his losses. To those closer to him, he’s blatantly affectionate and more than happy to wear his heart on his sleeve, even if he comes across as a bit of a whiner at some times. He sees everybody in his pack as family, whether they have a blood connection or not, and would be more than willing to lay down his life if it will make a difference in the slightest.

Outwardly, he’s an ivory-coloured wolf with some tan hairs across his back and ears and dark amber eyes. Despite his sudden demotion some time ago, he still walks with a bit of a saunter and, despite his age, he’s still powerfully built and strong.
