the history of the tribe traces back to a single wolf named loukian. he, like many young males, left his
birth pack in order to start a life of his own. along his journey he found his mate, clea, and within no ti
me the two had conceived offspring. the small pack was happy, even finding new members to take in. t
wo years of abundance, with each passing season the family growing stronger. a stormy night struck tra
gedy as the trees began to combust; flames engulfing everything in their path. through the rain and the
smoke, loukian was separated from any familiar faces. he found himself stranded ― a stranger on once
loved territory. the storms continued for days, eventually easing the fire until it was no longer a threat.
loukian was lost, confused, and sick with worry. or was he sick from starvation? all he knew was that h
e'd given up hope. he assumed the worst fate for his pack, and couldn't bear to think about his mate. on
the last night, the clouds rolled onward in search of a new land to kiss with lightning. the full moon sho
ne down on loukian, as bright as he'd ever seen it. the sight was hypnotizing, his heart being filled with
new motivation. an echo to the right caught his intrigue, eyes lifting to the branches of an old pine tre
e. sitting on the lowest branch was a woodpecker. the bird stared at loukian but not before drilling its b
eak into the wood. the woodpecker flew to the next tree, mocking its own actions by beating the bark.
loukian felt compelled to follow, even if the bird was simply doing what it always did. the silence of the
midnight forest made it easy for him to trail his guide. the pair traveled for miles, with loukian keeping
pace as to not lose this new friend. as the sun began to rise, the woodpecker veered off into the sky, dis
appearing from loukian's view. before he had the chance to feel devastated, the soft whisp of a floating
object tickled his charcoal nose. upon wrinkling it, his optics followed a small black feather dotted with
white circles as it sunk to the dirt. the scent of his family drifted into his nostrils, indicating the bird had
been aiding all along. loukian became the first to be enlightened about the spirits above. the full moon
had sent him into a deep trance, deeming him worthy to follow the divine messengers of the beyond.ᴛʜʀᴇᴀᴛs

the pack thrives in a lush environment that provides every essential need. the perfect place, it seems like.
the tribe lives in a pine forest, making their dens near a cliff side. the alphas and betas share a den, which
is a roomy cave carved into the small cliff. the gamma, their mate, and the delta with their mate sleep di
rectly to the left in a den made from a fallen spruce tree. the thick trunk and branches provide protection,
while bushes have naturally grown around it to keep out any weather or curious eyes. the broods sleep in a
dug out hole to the right of the leader's den, the safest place for pups to hide. subordinates and omegas sle
ep either in the open, snuggled near a tree, or underneath a bush. during the chilling winter, these wolves
will dig dens from the snow that copy the design of the nursery. up the path atop the cliff rests the elder an
d shaman dens. the shaman makes their den from a pile of boulders that crumbled down from the nearby m
ountain. the entrance was dug out to provide easier access for all wolves to come in. the elder den is a coll
ection of bushes specifically placed near the shaman. beyond the forest is the lake, where the wolves pass
to their hunting grounds. since the lake has a bit of distance from the den site, the tribe gets their main w
ater source from the streams that run from the mountain to fuel the body of water. in the winter when the
se streams are frozen, the lake does become the main water source. past the lake is the beginning of the t
undra, where the abundant prey of hare and caribou roam. continuing onward through the tundra, after m
any days of travel, will get you to the coast. the fatty prey of seals and fish are promising here, but only d
esperate or journeying wolves ever dare to go that far. polar bears make their home there, much larger an
d more intimidating than the tribe's common grizzly bear. not to mention the whales that will snatch a sea
l right from the shoreline. traveling the opposite way of the coast and over the mountains will bring you to
the human facilities. as long as the tribe keeps their distance from the humans, all will be safe.

━━━━━━━━ ᴛᴀᴋᴇ ᴍᴇ ғʀᴏᴍ ᴛʜɪs ᴘʟᴀᴄᴇ ɪɴᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴜɴᴋɴᴏᴡɴ ✧ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━as a pup each wolf is developing their skills and personality that will determine their feathers. once they
come of age, a pup is ready to get their first feather. the young canines will travel either solo or in pack
s to the destination of where their birds tend to roam. it is then up to them how they want to get their f
eather. killing a bird is forbidden, and is punishable by being thrown out of the tribe. members are encou
raged to scavenge feathers. this can take days or weeks, depending on the season that they leave on thei
r journey. once they find their feather, they return to the pack. the shaman will then proceed to award t
he young wolf by entangling the feather in the thick fur around their neck. not all, but most wolves will
go on more than one journey in their life. since you earn your feather, you can have more than one. eac
h quest is just like the first ― except you usually are heading in a different direction. the tribe has exten
sive knowledge of their land, therefore over the generations more wolves have been returning. it is possi
ble for a soul to be deemed unworthy, and the spirits will ensure the wolf does not return. if all is well, t
hen the ancestors will guide the wolf to have a safe trip to and fro. each bird is chosen specifically to gu
ide every member in their predestined path. it's an honor to make the journey. each feather a wolf recei
ves holds a different meaning. to the knowledgeable, it is how to immediately distinct a wolf and their r
ank. here I will explain each feather, how they are earned, and the symbolism behind them.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ALBATROSSgiven to wolves who are larger than the rest. this feather symbolizes strength and rarity, for these
birds are hard to seek out on the coast. rare and precious, just as large wolves are in the pack. on
ly a wolf worthy of this feather could ever face the flocks of the gigantic birds. feathers are eithe
r a sooty brown or white with black tips, depending on the species you encounter.
CHICKADEEgiven to wolves who are smaller than the rest. this feather symbolizes a timid soul that may be mo
re hardworking than the rest. easily found, as to keep it as simple as possible for these wolves. ma
ny past subordinates have proudly adorned this feather even though it is seen as one of the weaker
privileges. feathers vary from dark grey, to lighter grey with streaks of white at the base.
CRANEgiven to wolves who are loud, or otherwise chatty. the piercing cry of a crane can be heard for mil
es. this feather symbolizes those who can fill the area with cheer and song. these wolves love to ho
wl, socialize, and speak in general. feathers are a creamy grey blending out into tawny.
DOVEgiven to wolves who are mates. doves are always associated with love because they are loyal to on
e partner only. this feather symbolizes devotion and affection for mates, swearing them together un
til death do they part. feathers are a creamy grey with a thick black stripe separating the white tip.
DUCKautomatically given to pups without the need of a journey. this feather symbolizes purity and rebirth.
ducks were the first birds for the ancestors to notice molting. they assumed the water washed away
any mistakes, therefore giving them a new innocent coat. this is considered one of the most beautiful
awards, albeit reckless pups losing this feather is not uncommon. feathers should be a royal deep blue
on one side, washed out black on the other, and white at the tip.
EAGLEBALD ― automatically given to alphas of the tribe. this feather symbolizes clear leadership and autho
rity. it is also associated with being a regal predator of the highest ranking. these feathers can also b
e awarded to wolves who could be considered a "war hero". feathers are white at the base and cut to
charcoal around the middle of the feather.
GOLDEN ― automatically given to betas of the tribe. this feather symbolizes shadowed authority. the
wolf wearing the feather is a regal predator, but not all see it as evidently as they see the bald eagle
feathers. feathers are white at the base, fading into light tawny with darker brown stripes, and a cho
colate tip.
EIDERgiven to wolves who are secretive. this feather symbolizes a mask. the wolves who have this feather
may be known liars or manipulators. they always have an illusory agenda, choosing to conceal their
feelings and the truth rather than spewing it out. this feather holds a negative effect for the wearer,
and is another one considered to be weak, but more so pathetic. these wolves are deemed untrustw
orthy to their tribe. feathers are scorched white on one face of the feather, while on the other they
're cloudy ebony.
GOOSEgiven to wolves who are aggressive. this feather symbolizes anger and possession. the wolves who
earn this title can have sharp tongues, often finding themselves in disputes over small issues. they
have short tempers, and are unafraid to strike first. feathers can be white fading to grey, creamy
grey fading to dark grey, or white fading to black.
GROUSEautomatically given to the gamma. this feather symbolizes attention and competition. the gamma
is in charge of organizing and usually leading each hunt or fight. they are fierce wolves who can c
atch the attention of others, keeping them in line and in their place. feathers are black up until th
e pointed tip, where there is a straight cut line of white.
GYRFALCONgiven to wolves who possess true beauty and grace. this feather symbolizes the pulchritudinous na
ture that others find attractive. a wolf so beautiful, graceful, and endearing comes along every so
often. usually a fae who can charm the fur off of her tribe mates. a wolf like this can earn the gy
rfalcon stamp, yet it is highly uncommon. this is the rarest of awards to earn. feathers are soft an
d white with ebony dots fading into stripes.
HAWKautomatically given to the delta. this feather symbolizes hidden potential. the hawk is a versatile
predator, but is lower on the food chain because of its size. the delta has less experience and wisd
om than the alpha or beta, but is still being trained to be a regal killer like the rest. within time,
this wolf can blossom. feathers are cream striped with tawny and tipped with a pale muddy color.
HUMMINGBIRDunlike every other feather, this is not a symbol of status that you are awarded. a wolf who finds
a hummingbird feather is considered lucky. their attention to detail is praised. because the feat
hers are minuscule and fragile, these are kept safe as a personal "prize". the swift hummingbird
symbolizes swift fortune for the carrier of their wings. feathers are tiny, and are painted orange,
green, and black with a soft white tip.
JAYgiven to wolves who are silly. this feather symbolizes optimism. a wolf who dons this feather is us
ually the life of the tribe. they're always in a good mood, and at the ready to cheer others up. the
y have a great sense of humor, and are as playful as pups. feathers are a lovely hue of blue with p
ale dark stripes near the tip.
KESTRELgiven to wolves who are swift or have superior stamina. this feather symbolizes energy needed for
survival. those who can perform tasks quickly are appreciated by the tribe. the wolves who earn th
is feather shall act as messengers if danger ever occurred to the tribe. feathers are a bright tawny
with a black and white tip.
OSPREYgiven to wolves who are skilled primal predators. this feather symbolizes proficient hunting. wolv
es can train their whole lives to earn this worthy title, while some are simply born with the talent.
those who have truly mastered hunting can earn it. gammas normally are awarded this feather wi
thin time. feathers are cream with pale tawny stripes that fade into black.
OWLautomatically given to elders. this feather symbolizes age and wisdom. the owl is often seen in dr
eams of shamans leading them to visions. elders are the most experienced in the tribe, and have m
uch advice to offer just like the owls do in the spiritual dreams. feathers are a dirty cream with th
ick brown stripes leading to tawny, continuing with darker stripes until the very tip.
PTARMIGANautomatically given to broods. this feather symbolizes individuality and change. each feather is u
nique, as two ptarmigans don't have the exact same markings. like many animals in winter, this bi
rd grows white feathers to blend in with their surrounding snow. a wolf who has gone through a dr
astic transformation can also earn this. owners of this feather normally have one feather from spri
ng and one from winter. feathers in spring are white with striped tawny patches splattered random
ly along the feather. feathers in winter are pure white.
RAVENautomatically given to the exiled, even if the wolf chooses to dispose of their feathers. this feather
symbolizes humility and disrespect. ravens are considered the ugliest of birds, and definitely the bi
ggest pest. unknown to most, ravens are one of the smartest birds, just as the exiled are some of th
e smartest wolves to have ever been in the tribe. those with this feather are shown little respect or
tolerance. feathers are a shiny black color.
SPARROWautomatically given to subordinates. this feather symbolizes unity. the wolves who wear this are t
he backbone of the tribe. they're the majority who, if they choose, can sway the pack in the dire
ction they want. the smaller feather may appear insignificant, but it does represent an important
role. feathers are small and gray with lighter stripes lining it.
SWANautomatically given to shamans. this feather symbolizes beauty, peace, and hope. the white repre
sents divinity, since the shamans are the direct connection to the spirits. their unnatural communi
cation has saved the tribe multiple times in the past. those who wear this feather are crucial to th
e pack. they spread love and hope to keep the tribe sane. feathers are solely white, and much mo
re soft than any of the others.

the tribe is back after more than a year! this is a revamp of my old roleplay with a new twist.
the plot centers around the tribe newly being led by their former delta, an inexperienced
young wolf. the death of both the alphas and their late beta came due to a forest fire on t
he tundra. with no vegetation to eat their prey has fled and the tribe is beginning to starv
e. constant, rumbling storms fill the skies above. it's up to the tribe to leave for a new hom
e or wait out the natural disasters that keep spoiling their abundance. their faith will be te
sted as days turn to nights without improvement. none of them are prepared for the discov
ery ahead. a novel yet promising era for the pack shines brighter than any moon ever could.
the beta & delta positions are currently closed but will be decided within the roleplay.
