Dereth - Alpha Male
Young Adult (He's around 21 human years).
Lightning Powers
From Wikimedia commons Power: Capable of building up an electric charge and holding it in his fur, Dereth was once known as the Lightning Jaw for his bite. Of course there is that flaw that electricity doesn't mix well with water and he can hurt himself with his own lightning.
Personality: Dereth is a happy go lucky kind of guy. He has a good heart and cares deeply for those around him. He doubts his own ability to lead but hasn't stepped down from the task set before him, partly afraid of what happens if he loses the legacy his father started. He's an intelligent guy for the most part, except when it comes to how others feel about him, without being flat out told he has no clue. This can make some think he's oblivious, and in some ways he is. Still, a good guy all around, he lives up to the courage his father has, though not always in a good way. Known for charging in to help someone, he can get into trouble very quickly and find himself in over his head.
History: The son of the previous alpha, some call him the first alpha, Gix. The eldest of Gix's children, Dereth inherited the position. Gix was a fierce leader, a black wolf with two heads, who had fallen for Mist, a silver wolf who was capable of moving at unseen speeds. Dereth becoming alpha male was not without problems. Korj, Dereth's sister who was massive in size rivaling their own father, felt Dereth shouldn't be the leader, granted she didn't want to be the leader, she just thought Dereth wasn't suited for it. Gix disagreed and Korj kept her distance until after a patrol, Korj never came back. Everyone has told Dereth she ran off, but he doesn't believe it, he believes something had to have happened to her it wasn't like her to just leave, no matter how angry she got. Still, he can't leave the territory to find out, and he's searched all of the territory for her. Korj wouldn't have been stupid enough to just leave the territory, even at her size she wouldn't have handled the backlash of losing the magic. Still he has his reminders of Korj. His father had left a mark on the stone table in the back room of the castle, Dereth tried to do the same. His claws weren't strong enough nor was his bite, so Korj did it instead for him. He looks at the mark often and wonders where his sister went off to.
Dereth grew up with Korj and Leon, both were his closest friends. He still trusts Leon with all of his thoughts but Leon refuses to accept any rank Dereth offers him due to their friendship. Still, it's not uncommon to see Dereth visit with Leon rather often.
Dereth is the guardian of Geren, a young pup they found at the edge of their territory. There were no signs of his parents anything and the pup refuses to talk about what happened. Dereth found it better to leave the pup alone, even though he is curious about what happened that would keep the pup quiet and how anyone could leave their pup.
Kin: Korj - Location unknown
Geren - Adopted Son
Other: Dereth is open to having other younger siblings. Please PM for information about Korj if you wish to be related to them.

Natalia "Talia" - Fighter
Female - Adult (Around 28 Human Years)
Shadow Shifter
From Wikimedia commons Power: Capable of disappearing into the shadows without any problem. She moves silently through the shadows, to reappear in another place to attack. Of course while moving should she hit a spot of light it causes a slight burn and makes her visible for several minutes. This is why she prefers nights.
Personality: A rough personality who doesn't like other people. Natalia tends to be called Talia by those closest to her, and Natalia by most others. Speaking with a light Russian accent, despite living in the ruins for a rather long time, she doesn't like to overshare, or share at all. She is more likely to bite and attack than ask questions. It takes work to get close to her, but once close enough she will remain someone's friend for the rest of their lives and is loyal to them.
History: Loyal to Bane, rather than the Pack, Natalia stays very, very close to her friend. Often found sleeping outside of the healer's den, well, room, she doesn't go near the other fighters unless she has to for patrols or something.
Her parents were from a distant pack, moving when Natalia was younger, old enough to not be considered a pup but not old enough to be an adult, which is where she picked up her accent. When they entered the cursed forest that leads up the castle, they lost themselves to the magic, unable to control it before getting killed by one of the creatures that lurks in the shadows. Natalia was able to hide away from the creature. After that she swore to get strong enough. She avoided the pack as much as she could until she saw another loner enter the territory, that loner was Bane. He was attacked by the same creature that had gone after Natalia's parents. Natalia chose to help him and in the process got injured. Bane was the first time she had seen someone other than her family show her kindness, mainly from not being around others, always sticking to the shadows. He helped with her wounds. Ultimately, he was the reason Natalia agree to approach the castle and talk to the pack, eventually joining. Natalia and Bane are close friends, nearly siblings in how they act.
Kin: She considers Bane her brother otherwise none.

Bane - Healer
Male Adult (Around 30 Human Years)
Draconic Transformation
From Wikimedia Commons. Yes, it is a picture of a coyote, but still looking for a public domain image with the same fur colour.Larger than the average wolf, he looks like he should be a fighter.
Power: Bane transforms into a dragon hybrid. Growing in size, he can rival of that of a a bear, covered in grey scales with draconic features and a long lizard tail. He doesn't have any wings though and cannot breathe fire. Still his strength increases and his claws are nothing to laugh at. He's not very good at controlling it and he is very slow.
Personality: The Gentle Giant. Despite his large size, he's one of the nicest guys anyone could meet. He's a tad nervous around most people, but still very kind. He's afraid of stepping on those smaller than him and losing control of his powers. Despite being around Talia rather often he is the polar opposite of her. His first instinct is to help someone, not question or fight them. He'll do all he can to avoid a fight in fact. Despite his large and sometimes clumsy paws, he's a skilled healer when he's focused on work, though relies more on his very high intelligence and aiding the other healers by knowing every herb, even the rare ones.
History: Bane's father killed his mother when he was young in a fit of rage. Before that Bane's life was never perfect, his father had a quick temper and it terrified Bane. The moment he could escape it he did, becoming a loner though not a very good one. Already large Bane struggled to hunt and survive, often relying on the remains left behind by other hunters, on injured animals and ones that died on their own.
It wasn't until he approached the cursed forest that things turned around for him. While he fear the power he gained he got control over it soon enough, always being on to internalize such things. He was attacked though by a creature, he wasn't sure what. All he knows is Natalia saved him and was injured in doing so. During his travels he had learned a lot about different herbs and how to patch up wounds, this was a skill he used to save Natalia. Ultimately when he realized there was a pack nearby he convinced Natalia that it would be better to join that pack, and he went for it, surprisingly she followed.
Bane is thankful for Natalia's close friendship, even if they are so different.
Kin: None

Leon - Fighter
Male Young Adult (Around 20 Human Years)
Quill Shot
From Wikimedia Commons Power: Leon can harden his fur into spikes, while doing so he can shoot out spikes but is only capable for shooting six at a time, it takes an hour for one to grow back, six hours for all of them. With high accuracy they are extremely dangerous.
Personality: Leon is a soldier in every sense of the world. He sits straight, stands straight and always keeps watch. While not very talkative in a group he will certainly talk in private. He's friendly enough at the right time but very work oriented. He likes most others, as long as they don't get in the way of him and his job. Leon will risk everything to save someone and will never back down from a fight.
History: His father was the lead fighter before falling to a creature in the forest. He won the fight but at the cost of his life, no healer could save him. He expected Leon to be a strong a fighter as he was. Leon didn't hold back from training for the most part, if his father called him he was there in a heartbeat. When his father wasn't there though, Leon went around with Dereth rather than doing whatever exercise his father wanted. Generally it was because Dereth would point out that Gix was his father and thus it was clearly Leon's job to protect him since Leon's father protected Gix.
After Leon's father died, Leon changed in very subtle ways. He can now be found at the entrance to the ruins or one of the still standing watch towers always looking out for danger. He doesn't seem to sleep much but he refuses to talk about it. He follows orders except those that order him to go sleep, he tries to follow them but it never lasts for more than a few hours.

Hawk - Scout
Male - Young Adult (Around 18 Human Years)
Winged Flight
From Wikimedia Commons Power: Hawk has wings that of course hawk wings. He's not the greatest flyer with them, often crashing into things if he doesn't get high enough. He also needs a running start.
Personality: Hawk is carefree, and lazy. He'll go for a run if he wants, or he'll find somewhere to sleep. Usually sleep. He loves to sleep, and enjoy himself. This can frustrate most others but it is just how Hawk is. The one thing he certainly has going for him other than a laid-back attitude is a great sense of loyalty and a great singing voice.
History: Hawk was born in the territory, meaning if he leaves it he will grow extremely weak and likely be unable to survive. He's tested this a few times, trying to fly low and out of the territory and a few times he struggled to make it back in just from the momentum he got. He's tested every direction to see how far the curse extends. The only edge he never found was going up or down, mainly because he couldn't go far enough down to find out and because he couldn't fly high enough to find the end. As far as he can tell it's a large circle with the castle at the center.
Hawk had a brother when he was young known as Lev. Lev went missing shortly after Hawk's parents died. Lev was a strong fighter and out on patrol. His patrol had never come back. Hawk tried searching for him but never did find him. He just found where Lev's tracks ended.
Kin: Brother - Missing

Torquil - Loner
Male Adult (Around 34 Human Years)
Stone Body
From Wikimedia Commons Power: Capable of covering his body with stone that he draws up from the ground. Being covered in stone does slow him down and also means he sinks, falls through weak supports as he becomes much heavier. It does make great armour though.
Personality: Torquil is a fighter when confronted. If not confronted though he loves to tell stories of his home. He enjoys laughing and being around friends. He is loud, he is large, and he is happy to be friends with anyone who will be friends with him. Torquil is a the equivalent of a wolf viking, often using older words that come across a bit Scottish but are from the Norwegian area.
History: Coming from a pack of pure fighters who only existed for the fight, Torquil is a great fighter. He just couldn't stand the constant fighting, the constant battles every single day. He lost a lot of friends in fights. He lost a lot of family. He just realized if he kept going he'd end up dead. So, he ran away from the pack in the dead of night becoming a loner until he came across the cursed forest. He's been going in and out ever since, doing his best to avoid patrols, afraid the pack inside is also all about fighting.

Geren - Pup
Male Child (Around 7 human years)
Falcon Shift
From Wikimedia Commons Power: Geren is unable to really use his power much at all. He turns into a Peregrine Falcon but he can't hold it for very long nor can he fly straight or well. In fact when he changes it always seems like one of his wings is injured rather than his skill holding him back.
Personality: Extremely quiet, Geren barely speaks at all. He seems afraid of most things, and extremely nervous, the makings of a potential omega. He hides behind the legs and tails of older wolves that he trusts, thus is often found hiding behind Dereth's legs.
History: Left on the edge of the territory, Hawk was found hiding by a patrol. He wouldn't speak about what happened, how he got there or anything. Getting him out of hiding was tricky since he really did not want to move away from the spot. It took most of a day to get him out from under the roots of a tree. Since then he's been with Dereth and sticks closer to the older wolf.
Kin: No one knows where they are
