DEAD, DO NOT POST

[Tatterdemalion]

No, not really. This role play just has standards.

Though I would assume that anyone joining would be from the semi-lit club, I'll run over this for anyone who missed it; Our premise is a wolf pack, played to be as realistic as we can manage without absolutely sucking the fun out of everything. The only plot we've got is as follows; Our pair of alphas are new to the game. They've recently struck out from their native packs, coming together for the mere reasoning that they've both got what it takes to be an alpha - a strong personality and the ability to breed. It's their second fall together, the female having birthed her pups in the early spring, the pups are now nearly a year old. Not old enough to breed yet, but certainly to old to be looked after by their parents. Add some personality clashes, the constant challenge of survival, and we're good to go!

Outline of The Pack and other stuff

The Alphas;

Obviously the most important part of the pack. They're the breeding pair and usually the parents of all or nearly all the pack. Their instructions are expected to be obeyed and their word is law. The alpha male does most of the leading, protecting his borders, chasing off any hopeful loner looking to steal away one of the alpha's daughters, and generally provide for the pack. Though the female can and will take charge of things as well, her primary job is to expand the pack's numbers.

Betas;

Pretty much the favorite (or more than one favorite) of the family. They're the alpha's right hand and are able to dish out any correction to the pack that might be needed to keep the peace. They've got a right to eat before the others, give orders, and otherwise reap the rewards of favorite - just so long as it isnt over stepping their bounds.

Omega;

Quite possibly the runt or the odd ball. They're just the family punching bag. Having a bad day? Go pick on the omega. Just need to release some tension? The omega doesnt seem to be doing anything important, why not go beat him/her up!

Everybody else;

If you aren't one of the ranks listed, you're just another part of the pack, son or daughter of the alphas. Your job is simply to help the pack in whatever way possible. Hunting, looking after the boundaries, chasing away any rivals. Some might choose to leave when they are two years old, some might stick around. Though if you choose the later you aren't really supposed to breed, the odd run in with a lone 'casanova' might yield at least the females with a bit more than they bargained for. Your pups will not be looked after as well as the alpha females, if she deems there are not enough resources she may even have to do away with them herself. And if you're caught before, fraternizing with some dark stranger, then you'd better hope mom's in a good mood.

Rules;

01. This is pretty much a literate RP. Not because of word count, but because I'm hoping you all are mature enough to role play this thing realistically. Posts that move the plot along or add to something over all are what I'm wanting. Lazy days are understandable, just dont take advantage of me :3
02. Common sense still applies. No god-modding, power playing, gary/mary sues, or anything that makes a sane person groan in annoyance.
03. Fair warning. Your character might die. I'm not drawing names out of hats but, please remember that they cant live through everything. If you decide to kill a character off you are more than welcome to create a new one and keep going.
04. Yeah, I said drama. This does not include your characters getting pregnant. Though it might happen on occasion, the point is not to get every female in this RP pregnant. Honestly, I'd talk about it OOC before deciding to do it in the RP.
05. Your character will not know everything. No they wont know what's going on right off, no they cant solve every problem, and no they aren't super man.
06. Bearcoon and anyone she appoints as mini-mod has the rights to ban you from the RP for not following these rules correctly. Yeah, I have an attitude when it comes to this RP.
07. I expect this RP to move a tad bit slower than most. We aren't going to be breaking 5+ pages a day, we're going to wait and make sure everyone gets their say in what's going on, no leaving for dead.
08. Also no playing buddies. Two people, continuously posting, for pages, just them... not fun for everyone else.
09. Obviously, don't get my thread locked. PG-13, use fade outs and time-skips as needed.
10. You can code up and prettyfy your post to heck, just be sure I dont have to squint to read it and it follows the CS rules.
11. Have fun! I have high hopes for this thing!

[Tatterdemalion]

Username:: Tea.For.Two
Character's Name:: Thrush ; No super powerful meaning here. His mother was getting up in years when she birthed his litter and had a thing for birds (;
Rank:: Alpha Male
Age:: Something around 3 or 4 years
Gender:: Male

Description:: He is of a slender, muscular build, though is probably more built for quick fleeting fights than anything stand offish. Definitely much better for running than anything. His legs are long, giving him a bit of a awkward appearance, but it works. His pelt is a mottled gray. Flecks of black, white, and various shades of gray make an almost dirty look, but he's honestly very good about keeping clean. His fur is thick and of medium length, though sometimes he complains of being to warm because of it. Like multicolored leaves, His eyes are a mix of gold, red, brown, and a bit of green. None of them are pronounced, just making up a nice medley of colors. They are the type that already show that he is the kind and caring type.

Personality:: He is rather adorably awkward, but he is growing out of it. He trips over himself verbally, stumbles for the right words to say and even then may come up with the wrong thing. The problem is he knows exactly what he wants to say, but it's just how to go about saying it. Being on his own wasn't so terrible, but once he started this pack of his he realized he might need to work on his ability to communicate clearly. There are times though that he gets a bit self conscious of his flaws. When this is the case he can get quite nasty, though is really just confused. Being the crowd pleaser he is, it taxes on his own self confidence. He enjoys being alpha though, so far. It's much better than having to take orders and be pushed around all the time and there is that added perk of actually being allowed to have a mate. He's determined to make things work, if not only for his pride's sake.


Other:: Cant think of name... personality is still up for debate... I should have done this when I had the muse.

[Right so I've touched this up a bit and changed his name, sorry 'bout that, as well as plumped up his description and personality. I'll likely develop him a bit more as the RP progresses but for now this is a basic glimpse at the psyche of Shadow.]

Username::
Ashwyn Laurelwin
Character's Name::
Shadow.
His mother saw his strange pelt just as the shadow of a raven flew over him so she just went with calling him Shadow. Turns out to be a highly suitable name for his personality.
Rank::
Beta
Age::
2 Year old
Gender::
Male
Description:: Shadow is fairly large for a wolf, about an inch taller then his alpha and he walks with the self-imposed confidence of a Beta. His fur is unusual in that it isn't the typical/gray/silver/brown of most wolves, being almost solely white with reddish-brown fur patches. His eyes are the typical golden brown of a wolf and they often glint with arrogance and pride. He is well aware of his unique appearance and the way he walks reflects that. He walks with a slight swagger, his head held high, and his chest puffed out.

When he fights he relies on brute strength and his substantial size. He is almost completely useless when it comes to maneuvering out of tight spaces and any smaller wolf with great agility and speed would find him easy to defeat if they were able to make use of their abilities. Don't underestimate his strength though or else you'll find yourself in a tight spot. Shadow isn't an imbecile in any way, he's completely capable of formulating a strategy so its of the utmost importance to be careful when fighting him. His arrogance, however, causes him to generally underestimate his enemies which is likely his biggest flaw as a fighter and individual. If you can exploit that arrogance you stand a good chance of beating him at his own game, just don't let him catch you with his front end, he has a brute strength that is almost frightening.

Personality::

Shadow likes to be in a position of power, being Beta and having influence over the rest of the pack is something he enjoys but he honestly would like the position of alpha. That being the case he often steps on the alpha's toes, pushing his authority a bit. If questioned about this he would no doubt give a wolfish grin and simply say that he 'Is making sure the alpha stays on his toes'. When he can push his ambitions aside he's a pleasant enough wolf, caring towards his pack and even playful when he wants to be. He adores the puppies, devotes his time to them and will even stoop to playing with them when he's in the mood. This makes it not -so-surprising that he wants his own pups, though whether he has the bravery to do so is another matter entirely.

That Shadow is arrogant is not something he hides, he feels himself to be bigger and better then the rest of the pack which leads in to his belief that he should be alpha. That being said he isn't stupid enough to attack Thrush head on, especially since he's aware that the pack has his alpha's back more than his. Oddly enough he holds a deep respect for Grace as his alpha female but regards Thrush as more of an equal or even a lesser wolf then him. This may be due to Thrush's awkwardness with words though whatever the reason he has the potential to cause chaos in the pack if he decides to openly challenge his alpha. Were Thrush to step things up its possible that Shadow could settle into the position of Beta nicely but as things stand now he feels that he is at least as suited to be alpha as Thrush is if not more so.

Other::
Nothing really.

[[ Ooh! Would it be okay if I played a son of the alphas?? Of course, I'd need permission from both the alpha male and female! ]]

Rank;
None. He is a normal member.
Age;
4 1/2 years
Gender;
Male

Description;
Breeze is a small but muscular wolf with a beautiful dark brown pelt. His fur is very thick, coating his whole body in the dark color that makes it extremely easy to blend in with the many trees in the forest. His eyes are a light golden-brown, ringed with dark edges, giving him a very piercing gaze. His legs are extremely long and lanky, which aids him greatly in running - he's one of the fastest in the pack, making him a valuable asset for hunting. He isn't the best fighter but he has some capabilities if placed in dire need to fight.

((Yeah Rëune, they're all pretty much the alpha's kids. (it's buried somewhere in the beginning there) Will get mine up soon... having a rough morning.))

[WalkerNom]

[[ Thanks! I know its in the beggining, I just wanted to be extra sure ^.^ Oh, and by son, I mean like a pup! ]]

[Tatterdemalion]

((Oooohhh! Well it's perfectly fine by me. And looking back on Ashwyn Laurelwin's post I realize I misread/didnt read all of that. Curse you itouch screen and your smallness. SO, unless someone chimes in that they'd like the alpha female you can have her, but I think there's a few more people that should be popping up. M'yeah...))
