"The last time I spoke to my Alpha, he told me there was a sickness he feared would reach us. He had been moving the pack to try and escape it but there were just to many of us to be able to move quickly enough. I tried to get more information from him but he either didn't have the answers or didn't want to share them. He practically begged me to take Ezekiel and move ahead to a safe location. After about three days' travel I hid the kid in a safe location and went back expecting, I don't know, some sort of bug. Instead, my pack was foaming at the mouth, ripping each other to shreds. Their eyes clouded over with an uncontrollable madness. There was nothing I could do to save them. I went back to Ezekiel and we just kept moving from there." -Asmund

Ｐｌｏｔ

There's a sickness in the land of Erysicthon and it's travelling through animals like wildfire. It's unsure how the disease is transmitted but it's assumed to be caused through infections in wounds. The disease causes beasts to slowly become weaker and weaker, and it's noted on their last day of life they seem to become stronger then they were originally and aggressive towards anything that lives. Asmund and Ezekiel formed a new pack dedicated to surviving this rough time after their own pack came down with the ailment. They have strict rules that may sometimes seem inhumane but have so far kept most of the pack alive. However, there is another pack slowly being pieced together. Asmund refers to them as 'The Quarantines' and they are, in his eyes, a danger in some ways to the pack. Bitterness about being turned away stays in the hearts of the possibly infected, and this will eventually come back to bite the 'clean' wolves of Erysicthon.

Ｅｒｙｓｉｃｔｈｏｎ Ｐａｃｋ
Currently no ranks are available for this pack. For other ranks, check the Quarantine Pack for openings.

The Erysicthon Pack is the original survivors pack, led by Asmund. Asmund works hard to keep his followers at peace and to keep them safe from the sickness, but at the cost of the wolves' freedoms. The Alpha and Beta Ranks are earned through a hierarchy generally, meaning the son/daughter of the Alpha is next in line to rule the pack and same goes for the Beta rank. Leading ranks are selected by skill at the Alpha's command. There are no fighters and only one healer in the pack since wolves showing any signs of sickness or those who get wounded are typically banished from the pack. Since no fighting is allowed in the pack, this pack isn't made for combat, however they make great hunters and careful thinkers.

Pack Rules
1.]There is no fighting with other wolves. The only time blood shall be drawn is from our prey when we are hunting it. If you get into a fight or see a fight, it is to be reported to the Alpha immediately.
2.] Wolves trespassing into the territory will be brought to the Alpha immediately. If non-pack members are tresspassing on our land it is to be reported at once, especially if they cannot be brought before the Alpha for judgement.
3.] Sick or injured wolves are to report to the Alpha. Sick wolves will no longer be considered clean and must be banished. Injured wolves will be under careful watch. If there is any signs of infection, they will be removed from the pack immediately.
4.] Disrespecting higher ranks will results in demotion. Disrespecting your Alpha will result in banishment.
5.] All scouts, including the lead scout must take a partner when scouting. No more than two scouts need to be out at one time.
6.] All hunters must have a minimum of three wolves accompanying them when hunting anything larger than a hare. One of the wolves must be the lead hunter. If there is no lead hunter, the alpha will assign one for that hunt.
7.] The only pack member that is allowed to practice medicine is the lead healer. The lead healer is not to leave the clearing in case of emergency. Should the lead healer need supplies, they may inform the lead scout, whom then shall go out and collect whatever is needed.
8.] No pack member is allowed to leave the clearing without prior consent from the Alpha. When leaving the clearing you must have an escort of some sort. Nobody is permitted to leave the clearing without another pack member!

Ｔｈｅ Ｑｕａｒａｎｔｉｎｅｓ

The Quarantines are a pack of lone, injured, and sick wolves who were denied shelter after being deemed a possible threat to the Erysicthon Pack. Some understand this need for concern and have accepted their fate. While others believe they should fight for their right to live alongside their family members until Asmund can prove that they have the disease. This pack has no reason not to fight and are thus stronger than the Erysicthon wolves with few exceptions. They also have healers for the injured and sick, which seems to keep the disease at bay for now.

Pack Rules
1.] We do not have any quarrels with the Erysicthon Pack currently and pack members are forbidden to interact with any of the 'clean' wolves.
2.] Do not harm each other without good reason. This pack was founded to help those who need it, not bring them harm.
3.] The new quarantines are to be checked immediately by the healer and then brought before the alpha for further instructions.
4.] If any pack members wish to procreate, they must first have it approved by the Alpha. We have no desire to have weaklings in our pack, especially during a time such as this.

.::Ｐｅｒｓｏｎａｌｉｔｙ::.

Asmund is a logical leader and he makes decisions based on what's best for the pack. His rules may seem strict and inhumane, but he does it in order to protect the ones he cares for. He struggles as a leader during this plagued time; He's used to the occasional challenge for rank and fighting for food amongst the subordinates, but with the plague going around, he must keep the wolves unmarked and safe from harm. He's a talented hunter and does well in emergencies, but he doesn't like having to make the tough decisions and never intended to become the Alpha of a pack.

.::Ｈｉｓｔｏｒｙ::.

Asmund was the Beta of the first Erysicthon Pack and an advisor to the Alpha. When the plague hit, He and his pack travelled for months trying to escape it, but with no such luck. Many of the wolves had fallen ill or gotten hurt during hunts, and were showing signs of being infected. The alpha pulled Asmund aside and told him that there was a danger nearby and to take his son, Ezekiel, and travel ahead of the pack to somewhere safe. The young beta did as asked and after travelling a couple days, he hid the pup in a safe place and went back to find his pack tearing each other to shreds. He went back to Ezekiel and they kept travelling. In there travels they gained followers who showed no signs of illness. And that's how Erysicthon's second generation pack came to be.

.::Ｐｅｒｓｏｎａｌｉｔｙ::.

Ezekiel is a wolf thirsting for knowledge about the world around him. He seeks to understand both sides of how infected (or possibly infected) wolves should be dealt with, and to deal with it in the most appropriate way possible, a way that everyone understands. He understands he is next in line to lead, and takes this role very seriously. He is already doing well with his diplomacy and hunting, and works hard to learn how healing and fighting would work. Despite Asmund's demands for nobody to practice healing or fighting with the exception of the single pack healer.

.::Ｈｉｓｔｏｒｙ::.

Ezekiel was born to the alpha of the original Erysicthon Pack, but was put into Asmund's care when the plague hit. Asmund and Ezekiel travelled for days ahead of their pack, narrowly escaping their doom. Asmund went back to check on their pack and when he returned, he brought back news that the pack had died, which included Ezekiel's father. Ezekiel spent many days grieving for his father as they continued to travel but eventually he started hiding his sadness as newcomers began falling in line with the duo. Since then, Ezekiel has been trying to gain all the wisdom his father had and become the next great leader of the Erysicthon Pack.

Mikhail can be considered the Switzerland of all wolves. He's very cautions and sees each side with an equal opinion. He can always find the rights and wrongs of an argument but he never chooses a side. In general he's unsure and not very brave, often needing encouragement from those around him. He acts pretty lax and easily makes friends with his kind and relax attitude. Just remember not to feel hurt when he points out the flaws of your ideas. He often makes a good middle man so it's not too uncommon for an argument to come his way. He's a bit of a pessimist and sometimes can be a bit too lazy for his own good. He has a bit of a problem standing up for himself and is no alpha. But he is a true friend, loyal and will follow you in the end even if he knows it's a losing situation. Sometimes he's not as honest with his feelings as he should be, while other times he's way too blunt. Also, he complains a lot...yep.

♥♥♥ Bye Bye Sad Bird! ♥♥♥
Mikhail was a mere pup when he was found by the Erysicthon pack. He came from a small family and had several siblings. One day his father got injured while hunting, he bit their mother and sickness soon spread. Mikhail's siblings were teared apart by their mother but during the cruel event, Mikhail got pushed away which gave him time to crawl underneath a rock that kept him safe from harm. He began to soon whine from hunger and fear, noticing it was quiet now, he stumbled out and looked around, not knowing what to do. He was found by Asmund, deemed healthy after some doubt, and then raised alongside with Ezekiel. Mikhail considers Asmund as a father, and Ezekiel as a brother as well as his best friend, though that's embarrassing to admit for him. If Mikhail ever got wounded he would confide in Ezekiel first before deciding what to do. Most likely he would accept whatever fate was given to him. He would prefer execution over being chased out and being allowed to turn into a monster.


((Hope you don't mind the relationship I gave him with Asmund and Ezekiel))

Meet Baldr, an extremely cheerful male who always sees the brighter side of life. He loves socializing and company to the point that just being around others makes him the happiest wolf he can be. So as expected, he's friendly and has lots of energy. At times he likes to be cheeky and loves to tease anyone he meets, harmless teasing of course. If he truly hurt someones feelings he would sincerely apologize. He can sometimes be a bit too childish so remember to have patience. Though with his warm heart, it's hard not to smile alongside him, he's like the sun! The sad thing is, this guy is a lot more depress than he leads on. He's sad and bitter about all the things that have happen and he's just silently letting it all store up inside. It hurts a lot, but Baldr doesn't want to be a bother to anyone with his negativity. He's a selfless guy, but these dark feelings may cause him to break.

♥♥♥ Bye Bye Sad Bird! ♥♥♥
Baldr use to be a wolf from the Erysicthon pack. He became a lone yearling due to the disease taking his family. Running into the ban of wolves Asmund was forming, he joined them and became a part of the family. He enjoyed his life there and though there was the threat of disease all around them, Baldr truly felt blessed with his new family. Then one day, one of their packmates got infected and they didn't realize it until it was too late. The wolf aimed to bite one of his fellow pack members, but instead, Baldr shoved them out of the way and took the bite that had been meant for the other wolf. After they killed the diseased wolf, Baldr was banished by Asmund for the nasty bite wound he received on his shoulder. Despite the betrayal and being tossed out by the family he cared so much for, Baldr smiled and merely walked away as he was ordered. Now he is part of the Quarantines, his shoulder still in bad condition, but he can still smile and hide the pain away.

♥♥♥ Can You Repeat That? ♥♥♥
Nonna is, well, quite the character. She's not really right in the head. You see, she believes in wolf domination and aims to control both of the packs someday. She personally declares to everyone that she is a villain, and often talk in fancy 'villainous' ways. She can go off in hilarious but strange speeches that are hard to take seriously. Also her definition of evil is a bit messed up. "Muhaha, take this, puny soul of purity! I shall clean and eradicate the dust from your den, tremble in fear and mourn for the lost of the dust!" That's basically her definition of evil. So you decide if she's actually evil or not. You know when she's thinking about 'evil' things when she starts chuckling to herself and drooling. Besides er, this part of her. Nonna is innocent in a way and is extremely loyal to the wolves who tolerate her. She's also not as stupid and childish as she seems to act. This is a wolf who can make very good decisions and truly is alpha material. She can surprisingly be very meek when you least expect it, and is more sensitive than she appears.

♥♥♥ Bye Bye Sad Bird! ♥♥♥
Nonna was born as a single pup with her family that consisted of only her parents. Over her mother's pregnancy, her parents had grown to hate each other but had stayed together because of the pup, that pup being Nonna. As the pup grew her parents would constantly argue and belittle each other. It greatly affected Nonna's mental health so to distract herself from the chaos she would dive into her imagination. She loved the idea of heroes and wished for one to take her away from all of this hatred. She also wanted to be a hero herself. Lost in her daydreams, Nonna grew into a strange wolf who sees the fantasy world as a reality. When she was about a month old, her mother had snapped and killed her father. When Nonna asked why, her mom merely said that she was a bad guy. Nonna asked if she was a bad guy too because she was her daughter. Her mother indeed said she was a bad guy because if she had never been born her father would still be alive and somewhere faraway, happy and free. Nonna then ran away from her mom who did not follow her, the daughter she blamed everything on.

As Nonna wandered, she managed to survive her first week by herself but her health was quickly deteriorating. She wouldn't survive much longer. That's when she encountered a wolf by the name of Arcano. He looked scary to Nonna, but for some reason he took her in, and Nonna knew she had found the hero who would save her from all the bad stuff. She was then raised by him, but in a way that made them like siblings. Nonna was the one who always got into trouble with her overactive imagination. She believed she was a hero now too, Arcano's sidekick! Little did she know about the dark things Arcano did to try and keep them safe. As Nonna grew, their relationship changed and they became the best of friends, nothing more and nothing less. Their trust and respect for each other was on a high level of rarity. Spiritual wolves would not be surprised if these two met multiple times in previous lives. It became clear to Nonna when she became older that Arcano was a bit overprotective and paranoid, but Nonna tried to overlook that, pretend that those were some of his hero traits.

One day, the two came across a pack. Nonna liked them and wanted to join right away. Arcano was more reluctant but they joined anyways. Nonna thought everything would be fine. But one day she was being bullied by a wolf and Arcano defended her, the confrontation turning into a fight. Arcano had gotten injured from the fight and the alpha decided he needed to leave the pack. Nonna was struck with horror. They were kicking out her best friend and hero? Enraged with the unfairness of these wolves who claimed this to be justice, Nonna declared then that she must be a villain and told the pack that she would someday come back and teach them a lesson. No one messed with her hero like that. If she had to play the villain to justify him then so be it. After the two left the pack, Arcano made and Nonna made their own pack for the sick and the weak, giving them a chance no one else gave them. She was then elected the alpha heir due to their relationship. Nonna now acts like she's a villain, preparing to someday destroy all those who were unfair. Despite her insanity, this doesn't mean that she neglects her duties. She would never break the trust Arcano has within her.

Before she left Erysicthon, Nonna had a crush on Ezekiel. Sometimes she still thinks about him and pities the fact that she will have to destroy a wolf that she might actually love.
