    THE PACK OF FALLING RAIN —

    Nomadic ★ Exiled ★ Small ★

    Chat & Roleplay


    introduction

    Two months prior The Pack Of Falling Rain experienced hell; they were forced to leave their lands behind and the rest of their pack behind. Leaving their Mothers, Fathers, Brothers, Sisters, Friends and lovers behind to get slaughtered by conquerors, just for a slim almost non-existent chance to avenge them. The pack is remaining pack is small and meek, a far-cry from its former glory but each of it's members are strong, strong enough to go on after everything. There is hope for them, real hope to one day return and conquer the conquerors and get vengeance and their lands back. To restore their honor as members of the still glorious Pack of Falling Rain. It's up to them to face on their many problems and grow as a pack and become stronger. Against all odds. Against their bitter wounds, against impossible odds, even if they are tiny and led by a... mere "pup"




    homeland

    "My family used to rule our lands benevolently, sharing our great prosperity to the lesser wolves. We were prideful and strong and no matter our hardships we would always manage through, no matter how much rain had fallen we'd manage. My father once told me that as long as we remained strong and noble our enemies would cower. That no one could stand to our right, we were born to rule these lands. To forever run across the great valleys to breathe in the fresh morning air as we chased the moon and sun to our hearts content. No wolf could stand up to us he said, and I'd believed him. Why would they, we coexisted with so many. Who would wish to steal the land promised to me and my forefathers alone. But he was wrong, and now i may never see my homeland again. We were wrong to think that land was ours. A land that was ripped away so easily..." - Sokanon


    Deep within a mountain range their lays a paradise in the form of a valley. One once ruled benevolently by a large pack of wolves and their loving alpha; an alpha who's family had led the pack for generations and generations. Leading through adversity after adversity keeping the pack fed and happy through even the brutalist of winters. The lands expand for miles filled with an abundance of prey, including migratory herds of buffalo and caribou. As well as containing deer, moose, boar and many other prey year round. The valley extends into the lower altitudes of the mountain where a raised hill goes into a chasm that overlooks the entire valley. This is the camp to the pack. This area was once peaceful and allowed passage of many packs who'd often join their numbers. The land could handle the surplus of wolves so why did it matter, pack competitions were nonexistent so why not live together. It hadn't failed them before, until that fateful day of course. It's been almost three plus since the significantly smaller pack began their trek into the mountains. And every moment away from their precious homeland is grueling.


    places been

    Crown of Teeth

    The Steep Cliff face and unstable pathways that are rough and uneven make for an uncomfortable experience overall, the mountains are hard to traverse. Little to know cover so you're constantly exposed to the elements. The middle part is steep and the altitudes make it harder to breathe. Overall food is hard to get to and mostly small. Red deer being the biggest you can find with their being more common Ibex's, Marmots, hares and occasionally birds. After you cross through the crown of teeth you'll arrive in a small forested valley just below.

    traditions - rules of the pack

    1. It is the Alpha's responsibility to tend to his/her packs needs and provide safety and guidance to them. And in return the pack should obey the Alpha.

    2. The Mothers and pups are the lifeblood of the pack and should be treated as such, they eat first followed by the Alpha and his/her consort, the healer, the beta and delta than the rest of the pack

    3. When the Alpha retires he/she will receive their final hunt. Where he/she will lead all capable adults in a hunting party that will last three days in which they will catch as much prey as they can. It is a time for celebration. If the alpha dies before they can retire it falls on the new alpha to commemorate them and do their "First Hunt" in their honor.

    4. It is customary for the Alpha to choose a consort (if they don't already have a mate) within 10 moons of being alpha

    5. If a direct heir is not produced by the time the alpha die/retires the oldest living sibling of the alpha will become alpha and it will be his/her lineage that will be the new alphas.

    6. If a wolf kills or severely hurts a member of the pack they will be exiled

    7. If the alpha produces pups with another wolf that isn't the consort their pups won't be considered viable and will be treated by their packmates as normal wolves.

    8. If the Alpha's "True" Consort cannot reporduce with them, than the Alpha will take a Broodmother/father consort to bare their pups. Althpugh not the mate of the Alpha they still are regarded with as much reverence as a true consort.

    8. The delta must lead the majority of all fighting/border patrols and always be present for major game hunting.

    9. The beta must be selected within a day of their death/retire

    10. A juvenile will not be considered eligible until they achieve/help with their first big game kill. Young wolves aren't capable of doing this or going on these hunting parties till they are atleast 13 months old. After this hunt they will receive the name they will carry for the rest of their lives.

    11.When a pup is born the mother will select a name, this is dubbed their juvenile name and it is a temporary one. Once they become a juvenile and pass their hunting assessment they will receive a name from their oldest male relative (if they don't have one, then the alpha will) that pertains to what the wolf truly represents. This name carries a meaning a majority of the time. It's rare that this name will change.




    pack allegiances

    Alpha(1/1): Sokanon (Soka) ( Kedamono )

    Wolves born into the direct lineage of the Previous Alpha are the only ones who can obtain this Rank. They are born with the divine right to rule. It's their responsibility to lead the pack and they get the final say in all matters. The Alpha is held in high-esteem and their actions should be made solely to benefit the pack.


    Consort(s)(-/-): TBD

    Mate of the Alpha. Respected and honored almost as much as the Alpha Themselves.


    Heir(0/0): -

    Pup of the Alpha that will one-day take over when the Alpha dies or retires. Almost always the firstborn male of an Alpha's first litter. All other pups are well regarded but bare no special rank or have any special treatment.


    Beta(1/1): Kamikaze ( Dracarys )

    The most trusted wolf of the Alpha, Often serve as their adviser and confidant. They serve as a pseudo-leader in times of stress.


    Healer(1/1): Octavia ( tamsen )

    The wolf charged with tending to the needs of the injured, sick and pregnant. It's their duty to keep wolves healthy and allow them to continue to provide for the pack. They are heavily respected. (They normally patch up wounds and clean them, assist with birth or set bones back in place. They do not use herbs like in warrior cats)


    Healer Assistant(-/1): DECEASED (TBD)

    The Healers apprentice of sorts. They are still learning.


    Delta(-/1): Deceased (TBD)

    The third in the chain of command. While the Beta serves as more of a co-leader that's solely appointed to help the Alpha, the Delta serves a much different role. They are the Gladiator, or "strongest" warrior of the pack. They're the wolf that leads battles and the ones that make it their sole duty in life to protect the pack. Heavily Respected by their peers. Often referred to by a nickname or title unique to them.


    Pack Members(6/7): RESERVED for Midnight, Narah ( M!NK ), Orion ( Raspberry ), Sasha ( ~~~Whisper~~~ ), Claire ( ~~~Whisper~~~ ), Elenita ( KagomeMoana ) , open

    The largest portion of the pack, and the section that felt the loss of members the greatest. They make up the heart of the pack. They are responsible for Hunting, Fighting, Scouting and scavenging.


    Juvenile Pack-Members(1/3): Eros ( rau. ), Open, Open

    //All around the ages of 9 Months - 15 Months//

    Wolves who are to young to properly be able to do all the duties of an adult but to young to be nursing or staying in the nursery. Learning the basics of pack life; typically are taught by the entire pack or an older family member (typically an Aunt, Uncle, or Father)


    Den Mothers(1/1): Abhaya ( rau. ) //Note: Currently Pregnant with three pups

    She-Wolves who dedicate their lives to reering and tending to the needs of the young. Also includes temporarily females who are still nursing pups.


    Pups(0/0): All Deceased //Note: Abhaya's three pups are adoptable, One has to have a white pelt. However they are not born yet so expect some delays. - (Raspberry, )

    Young wolves who are still nursing or unable to do even the most basic tasks of a pack-member. Typically around the ages of 1 Month to 8 Months


    "Others"

    During their journey the pack will meet a multitude of wolves, good and bad. It is the job of the pack to recruit strong wolves and find old allies so these wolves are key to finally going home. The main types are....

    Lone Wolves: Wolves down on their luck or just choosing voluntarily to go solo. Often living in area's away from packs and avoiding others they are perhaps the most elusive of all the types of loners.

    Nomads: Wolves who are either alone or in a small group who travel voluntarily from place to place either for the fun of it or to look for a home/pack. Often friendly.

    Rogues: Vicious or unfriendly wolves who either travel alone or in groups. They are basically nomads except for the fact they are looking to conquer.

    Packs:The most daunting to face, packs are large quantities of wolves serving under an alpha or a pair. They typically rule over a territory and can ethier be friendly or hostile. You are the intruder in their lands and you take a risk when you even catch a whiff of a a pack. Although frightful, its Rain-packs goal to get as any wolves to join them as possible. And packs provide the biggest amount.

    OCC

    This is a revamp of an older thread i ran earlier this year. This revamp is mean't to flesh what was originally planned and make it flow more fluidly. I want to make the plot very linear and flexible, with a ton of room for opportunity. Squished down it's about a pack of wolves who are traveling around the countryside and mountain range to search for wolves to join their cause and to eventually return to fight the "evviiiiiil" pack as soon as their numbers are big and their strong enough. I'm all ears when it comes to plots or future interactions. And although there is limited spots right now you can expect it to expand big time as the plot progresses. If you have any questions i'm more than happy to answer them! Just shoot me a pm. Now to go over just a few things....

    Rules

    1. As to expected FF Rules apply

    2. Major Gore (incredibly detailed), Mating scenes, descriptive Birthing scenes aren't allowed. If needed always use Fade-In Fade-Out

    3. Do not force plots/mates on someone

    4. Before you start a major plot shoot me a PM asking me if its A-okay. Most of the time i'm fine with most plots, and if not i'm more than willing to compromise

    5. This is a LGBT friendly thread, please be respectful.

    6. In general be respectful to your fellow roleplayer; this is for fun after all

    7. Please be active; especially if you play or plan on playing a important role

    8. I'm happy to hold reservations for spots. However anyone who was originally apart of the first thread gets priority.

    9. Only 2 pack members per person; Loners/other pack members are unlimited but remember the loners are paced out so you may not use them for a good while

    10. Characters should be balanced, Make sure they make sense in terms of the plot.

    11. Use real pictures for your wolf

    11. This is by no means an advanced thread but it's also not a beginners thread. Proper grammar (I'm okay with a few mistakes) is expected, as well as atleast a few sentences to a paragraph per post.

    Misc

    - The Delta will be chosen by a poll after a few loners have joined.

    - Ranks such as the Healers assistant will be chosen by the Healer through the plot

    - The plot was slightly inspired by the ginga series, which is very near and dear to my heart


    Affiliates

    Other threads partnered with this one, for eventual plot or miscellaneous reasons. If you're interested just shoot me a pm with a link (if its not made yet a description of your pack) and how you want the interaction to be like (Such as: Tries to fight them, become allies, Wolves join/leave, just allow them to stay or pass through etc.)

    Currently None

  • I put Claire as wanting to be Soka's consort, but since they can't produce pups, maybe she can fall for Sage instead? You mentioned a loner

    HISTORY -- Sage was born to a distant pack further to the north. As he grew, he fell in love and started a family, but his only pup was viciously killed by a bear. Grief stricken, he withdrew from his pack and disappeared. In reality, the male had fallen into a river. The current was so strong that it bashed him against the rocks and carried him far away. He woke up on the bank with no memory except a single name, Sage.

Too injured and weak to do anything, Kitchi could only listen to the snarls and painful cries of the nearby dying pack.

    *:・゚✦ KAMIKAZE —— ima kamikaze, gonna smash into everyone, crash into everything.

    kamikaze / kami but she doesn't take too kindly to it / "god-wind, divine-wind"
    PAST NAMES -- birth name is "Kataná", but everyone called her Kamikaze given her speed and agility in and out of battlefield and her appearance could be mistaken as "God-like" given her odd and mystifying melanism pelt and scarlet eyes.
    AGE -- 5.5 years
    GENDER -- female
    RANK -- beta
    RANK WANTED-- alpha
    FAMILY -- mother and father: ryü x violet

    Siblings: gaia (sister), Egypt (brother)
    SEXUALITY -- heterosexual
    RELATIONSHIPS -- - love interests: no one
    - friends: tba
    - enemies: tba
    PERSONALITY --

    On the surface, Kamikaze doesn't seem like an overly remarkable woman, nor does she generally stand out in a crowd. Initially, she doesn't come across as someone with an overly strong personality, and she keeps to herself more often than not. However, once you get to know her you realize she is more complex than she lets on.


    Surviving is a main priority for her - and because of that, she is extremely adaptable - though thanks to her rough-and-tumble personality she doesn't always make that easy on herself. She has the tendency to be loud and audacious, unafraid of taking risks in life. She has a penchant toward fighting, though in the thrill of battle she can easily go overboard and turn a friendly brawl into something with permanent consequences. She wears her scars as a badge of honor, and rather than hoping that others think twice about challenging her she hopes that it attracts those who are unafraid of fighting to see if they can leave another mark on her pelt.


    Despite her independent spirit, Kamikaze is not a wolf who has chosen to be in a pack willingly. She feels she is most at peace when she has a group to work with - and once her true loyalty is earned, it will rarely if ever falter. Of course, she isn't the most affectionate woman, preferring to show her camaraderie through friendly rivalry - and thus her tendency to be competitive is quite obvious.

    STRENGTHS -- combat, poisons/herbs, speed and agility, strategies, tracking, stealth and speech.
    WEAKNESSES -- swimming, hunting (just bc she was never a fan), climbing up trees, motherly, showing empathy.
    NOTES --

    - native tongue: Kamikaze speaks purely Russian, although she knows English very well, she can be heard speaking in her mother tongue.
    - scent: shes smells of roses with a hint of pine

    - Scars: she has many that parade the canvas of her physique, they litter her entire body, some big while other small. Her largest scar was gifted to her by a bear that she had gotten into a brawl with years ago, those scars are located at the base of her right scarpula and they outline the whole of that one limb, deep heavily maimed gashes inthe shape of claws. She wears her scars proudly.

    - Markings: none, she is pure black, not a single white hair can be identified.

    - Allergies: none

    HISTORY -- to be revealed
    PLOT IDEAS-- if I come up with any I'll let you know huh <3
    OTHER -- nope
    PLAYLIST -- tba[/size]

  • @~~Whisper~~

    Just to clarify do you mean the ones you already have WIP forms for or two entirely new ones?

    If it’s the latter, Just a quick reminder, I’m Only allowing two pack-wolves per person because of the limited space. If they’re loners they won’t be used for a little while due to the plot. Which won’t be to long as the first section of the plot/area (The crown of teeth) is basically a warm up. With the following area have quite a few.

  • Dracarys  

    Gonna put that down into my docs,so I can reserve one of those spots for her c:


    Just to throw it out there They’ll be around 7 Loners in the next area if anyone else wants to grab early.

  • finished, also please unreserve the normal pack member. i think he's the only one i'll be making! love this plot.
