Haha, after many months, we have returned! Hopefully this one runs a bit better. Please, folks, plot contributions are always welcome!
___________


It was a bitter night when war began between two wolf packs. The death of two young sisters of the Lightning Pack, daughters of the Alpha that ruled, killed by the Fire Beta during a border patrol gone sour. Their father sought out the fiendish Beta of the enemy pack and killed her in cold blood, only to be killed by the Beta's young Trainee in retaliation, through the afflicted wounds of that battle. So on went the call for justice, every wolf taking a life only to have their taken by some other's plot to avenge their fallen kin. On it went, until the fighting all blurred together and everything descended into chaos and bloodshed. Both packs were convinced that the other had caused more pain and sought to end it once and for all, but both Lightning and Fire were evenly matched. Now, nearly a year later, the war persists.

Stubborn though the packs may be, war takes a toll on us all. So much death has been seen from both packs and as the fighting continues, eight "traitors" will rise up and try to end the war. These wolves are tired of the fighting, but know that if they are caught by their Alpha as being pacifists in these trying times, that their lives as they know it will change dramatically. Will they be able to change their packmates minds and put an end to this war once and for all? Or will all perish for the sake of revenge?


R A N K S


(1 per Pack) Alpha: The leader of the pack. Has the final say in all decisions. Their word is law.

(1) Beta: The second in the command and the Future Alpha. Chosen by mods. (Or discussed with mods)

(1 per Pack) Healer: The medic.

(2 per Pack) Healer Trainee: Self explanatory.

(1) Lead Warrior: The wolf in charge of leading the Warriors. Chosen by mods. (Or discussed with mods)

(1) Lead Hunter: The wolf in charge of leading the Hunters. Chosen by mods. (Or discussed with mods)

(1) Scout: The singular wolf who keeps an eye for threats.

(1) Scout Trainee: Self-explanatory. May not go on solo scouting missions without their trainer or an Alpha's explicit permission.

(Unlimited) Warriors: The wolves who fight for and defend their pack from threats.

(Unlimited) Hunters: They'll hunt for the food to sustain their pack.

(Unlimited) All-Arounds: Wolves who can both hunt and fight.

(2 to start.) Den-Mother: She-wolves only who are nursing their pups or within a month of whelping.

(Unlimited) Trainees: Wolves between 2 and 6 months old. They'll train to become either Warriors, Hunters, or All-Arounds.

(Unlimited, but a maximum of 4 to a litter and you must have people to play them BEFORE they're born.) Pups: Youngsters under 3 months.

(3 to start) Elders: Wolves who are elderly (9-10+ years) who cannot fight or hunt anymore, but have server the Pack well.


(8, 4 per pack) Traitor: Wolves who believe that the war should end and therefore are a traitor to their Alphas and packmates to believe otherwise. This is a secret, secondary rank. If your Alpha find out that you're a traitor, you will undoubtedly be exiled from the pack (and your character removed from the RP.) It is the job of a traitor to find other like-minded wolves and convince your pack mates to end the war, without getting caught by the higher ups.

Note: Only wolves who are signed up as traitors can want the war to end. Every other character will need to believe in the continuation of the war as their Alpha decrees.

RULES


1. Be nice and respectful to other players - this is a safe space!

2. Listen to the mods -

3. You can only make as many characters as you can handle. If we don't see you posting all of the characters you've signed up with new posts consistently, we will delete the characters you aren't posting as and notify you of such. (Yes, this seems dramatic, but we've had enough of users signing up 8 characters and only posting for 3 of them.)

4. Bring all plot twists, dramatic character plots or ideas that would affect the entire rp/pack to the mods first!

5. No godmodding or powerplaying. Period. This means your wolf cannot be overpowered and needs to have realistic faults. You don't get to automatically win every fight or take down big prey all by yourself.

6. No killing/injuring another player's character without their permission.

7. No unnatural fur colors, and no superpowers.

8. If you choose to kill or remove one of your wolves from the RP, you must wait 2 real life days before signing up another charater.

9. The mods control the weather, passage of time and big events.

10. Your sign-up needs to be approved by one of the mods before you start roleplaying that character. Any character who is posted before they're approved will be automatically ignored and we will not accept that sign up.

11. You cannot play as your own mate/crush.

12. All CS rules apply at all times!

13. We're steering clear of darker subjects as this is a PG-13 site (examples of dark subjects include, but aren't limited to: self-harm, suicide, abusive backgrounds/domestic violence, and forced relationships.)

14. If any of the above rules are broken, there will be a warning and a 3 day ban. If a second offence is committed, there will be an immediate permanent ban from the RP.

15. Sign up using the form we provide. Adding stuff is okay, but please do not remove sections that are not marked as "optional"

16. Traitor is a secondary, secret rank. They are first come first serve, but cannot be played by Betas or Leads. See their rank description for more information. A player can only play one traitor wolf at a time.

17. We are not at the moment accepting loners/wolves with a loner history, for practical reasons. Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your understanding.

18. Only 2-4 pups per little. I understand this is a little unrealistic, but there have been histories of total overwhelm, and I would not like a repeat.

19. This is an LGBTQ+ friendly space!

20. Once you’ve joined, have questions, want to reserve spots, or are considering joining, please pop into the Discord or CS discussions.

21. Put a thumbs up in 'other' if you’ve read and accepted these rules.

Pack Law


The Alpha gets the final say in all decisions and may veto anything at any time.

Loyalty to your pack comes before loyalty to your blood kin.

Do your share - a pack is not sustained by lazy wolves.

Wolves who do not follow Pack Law are to be dubbed lawless and will be removed by the pack. (and from the RP as a whole. We are not allowing loners/rogues at this time.)

Support your Packmates in their times of need. We are stronger when we work together.
_________________


REGARDING CRUSHES, MATES, GRADUATION, MATURITY, AND PUPS:


Crushes may begin to form at around 10 months to 1 year of age.

No wolf may take a mate until they are one year, 6 months old.

Pup-bearing age is generally 2-9 years old.

Pregnancy lasts 2-3 months.

Pups are blind and deaf until they are 2 weeks old.

Wolves may live up to 12 years old for this RP, which is a bit exaggerated from real-life wild wolves, but this is fiction, I’ll have leeway with this one.

Pups become Trainees at age 3 months, and graduate at age 7 months, with the exception of specialized ranks of Scout and Healer Trainees, who will graduate at 9 months.

Wolves become official adults physically at age 1 year, 6 months, but are by Pack law considered "adults" once they’ve graduated. They become Elders after reaching 9-10 years of age.

OPEN RANKS


All in both Packs (minus Alphas, Betas, Leads, and Lightning Healer and Healer Trainees)[/b]

[sunhorsestar]

Pack: Lightning

Name: Shadow
Age: 6 years, 11 months
Gender: Female
Rank: Alpha

Personality: Shadow is courageous and a bit prideful. She believes strongly in equality and justice, and is unafraid to take action should the need arise, with the weakness of her soft spot for youngsters. Shadow is a very affectionate and motherly figure to young wolves, and often acts as a mentor of sorts to those who need assistance. For the most-part, she rules firmly, but not cruelly, and mostly leaves her wolves to their own devices, valuing everyone's individuality and uniqueness, even if at times, such as in the cases of Warriors Fish and Smoke, it gets on her nerves.

There is almost nothing that bothers Shadow more than blatant disrespect for one's elders or the hierarchy, and most shows of this are likely to cause her to snap. Shadow is a very respectful wolf herself, and believes that almost every wolf is worthy of trust and respect, save for those who are outright cruel. She knows very well how to hold a grudge, and will often hold a grudge for months if not years on end— hence the war— and can become very bitter. Shadow is a very emotional wolf overall, but often tried to bottle this up and conceal it for the better of her Pack so that she shows and overall strong, confident face. Most of the time, this is not hard, as Shadow is quite sound in and used to her role as Alpha, and is quite confident in her own leadership, being, and skills.

Shadow loves to spar and train, even though she is a graduated adult with high skill. Shadow is certainly not one to back down if she or her Packmates are provoked, and being as determined and protective as she is, she will fight to the bitter end for each and every one of her Packmates. While she isn’t afraid to lay down law and occasionally snap at, scold, or become cold to her Packmates, she will always stand by them. Shadow does not have many friends, as she’s distanced herself emotionally from most of her Pack in order to maintain a feeling and air of professionalism, with a few select exceptions to this rule, and there are many times she regrets not being closer to some of her Pack, but she firmly believes it's for the best.

Shadow has a soft spot for Pups and Trainees, and is more than a little protective over each and every one of them. She hasn’t been a mother in a long time, but when the chance arises, enjoys telling stories to the young and trying to inspire and encourage them, and is far gentler and warmer with them than she is with most of her Packmates.

Even if she’s not a strategist, Shadow is a thinker, a philosopher. She likes to contemplate the little things in life, and tends to overthink big decisions, weighing out each and every pro and con, and often seeking advice. Shadow strives to be the best of the best, and believes she has achieved that, as a skillful fighter and a firm ruler. Her mind state is not the most stable, and wavers from time to time. She’s fine most of the time, but on occasion, she forgets herself and has depressive episodes or moments where she’s not quite clear-minded. Despite this, she’s very firm in her decisions, and does not second guess herself once she had spoken, and she commands respect. Shows of disrespect are more often than not met with at least a scolding, if not worse, depending on her mood at the time, and the overall situation.

History: In RP.

Beta/Lead?: Inapplicable.

Other:

[sunhorsestar]

Pack: Fire

Name: Max
Age: 8 years, 3 months
Gender: Male
Rank: Alpha

Personality: Max is cold and firm, even with his own Pack, and is unafraid to lay down law, sometimes quite harshly. He loves being in control of a situation, and hates feeling below anyone else. He has to be on the top at all times, be the literal top-dog. He has a weakness for deals. No matter what the situation, he'll always be willing to stop and listen to a potential deal.

Max is manipulative, he likes to fill wolves' heads with ideas. He loves to pick fights, both for his aggressive streak and to prove his prowess, as he is prideful at having only rarely lost a battle due to his excessive size and strength. Max loves his family above all else, and will be undyingly loyal to them, no matter what the situation. His Pups are his pride and joy.

Max is cold on the surface and does not display much emotion most of the time. He is a thinker and a strategist, and likes to apply tactic as well as brute force, but can unfortunately be more than a little impulsive and reckless. He’s prideful, and this can often get in his way. He loves to compete in whatever way he can.

Max knows how to hold a grudge, and a strong one at that. He never forgets or forgives an insult, to himself or any of the few wolves he loves, and is unafraid to take revenge, or give way to cruel reactions.

Max knows when it’s time to be serious and despite his harshness, he acts as a pillar for his Packmates, building them up with strength and skill, creating a strong foundation for them. He does not fully trust anyone outside of his mate and a select few others, but he has faith in the physical and mental abilities of all his Packmates, and will always do his best to support them in his own way.

History: In RP.

Family: Moon (former mate), Catania, Violet (daughters), Cobalt (brother, deceased), Cinder and Maple (parents, Cinder deceased)

[sunhorsestar]

Pack: Lightning

Name: Leo
Age: 1 year, 6 months
Gender: Male
Rank: Warrior

Personality: Leo is bubbly, energetic, curious, and upbeat, and probably unhealthily affectionate, due to having been deprived of the closeness of a Pack for almost four months after his incident, he craves contact. He’s unaware for the most-part of exactly how clingy he is, unfortunately. He didn’t have support when he was on his own, and wants to make sure nobody else feels alone, so tries his best to offer support and encouragement when he can. Leo can be a bit impulsive, and aggressive when his home or his family and friends are threatened. He’s a bit moody on occasion, and clingy to say the least.

Leo is dedicated to what he does, and loyal to his friends and family. He strives to be the best Warrior he can, like his mother before him, although more than once he’s wondered if he would’ve been better as a Healer, whose whole job is to help others, with Leo himself often acting as a protective figure for his Packmates when the chance presents itself. Leo likes taking risks and stepping outside the box. He’s very open-minded, but indecisive most of the time. Leo is an emotional wolf, and makes no secret of it. He’s fine just being completely himself, and is quite humble most of the time. He does like being in the spotlight from time to time though!

Leo isn’t afraid to flirt with almost any wolf in his age range, even if it’s not for serious purposes and more for fun, and is DEFINITELY a bit of an attention seeker. He’s protective, and always tries to look on the bright side of things. He’s good at putting things together, even if he’s a bit naive to the world around him.


History: He's not shy. When he was one year and two months old, Leo and his sisters took a walk and accidentally crossed the border. They encountered the Beta at the time of the Fire Pack, who attacked and killed his sisters Anna and Merida, and Leo just barely escaped. He returned after a while to his own Pack, and went on to become a Warrior. He is unaware of his true parentage, and wonders often if there’s something he’s missing. He is not usually aggressive, but holds bitterness towards their rivalling Pack for the attack and murder of his littermates, whom he was quite protective over.

Family: Anna, Merida (sisters, deceased), Shadow, Max (parents), Fang (adoptive father), Acero, Mano (uncles), Sira (aunt)

Mate/Crush: None yet
Sexuality: Bi, poly-open (not required)
Pups: None yet, would like someday.

Appearance: A white wolf of average size, with pale blue eyes

Beta/Lead?: Yes

Other:

[sunhorsestar]

Pack: Fire

Name: Arian
Age: 3 years, 6 months
Gender: Female
Rank: Lead Warrior (pre-established)

Personality: Arian is fiery and has a strong will. She wants her way and if there’s a way she can have it, she'll pounce on it. She can be quite snappish and short-tempered, however, she does respect and obey her superiors. If there is one thing Arian understands, it is strength. She respects strength, and wolves who are strong, both physically and mentally. She has no tolerance for disrespect.

Arian is always on the move, she likes to be kept active, rather than lazing around most of the time, and adores her job, both for the honour of defending her Pack, and for the thrill of the fight. Arian is a strategist and a trickster in battle, largely due to her small size, she relies on this, and prizes herself on it. That said, she is a very proud wolf and is not afraid to truly be herself, and doesn’t care the opinion of others regarding her.

Arian dislikes those who are impulsive and reckless overall, she admires someone who thinks before they act. She admires someone who knows who they are, and what they’re doing. She herself knows who she is, and is very solid on that. Unfortunately, part of that is also that she’s a bit of a pessimist, living in the moment and looking often at what’s happened in the past, and while she’s working on it, she has some issues looking towards the future, preferring to dwell on the past and live in the moment.

Arian is a lone wolf in a sense, as she often suspects others find it hard to be around her and her temper, and that’s okay with her. What happens, happens, and that’s that. She doesn’t mind being alone if that’s the way she was born to be. That said, it doesn’t mean she WANTS to be on her own. Despite her sharp tongue and impatience, Arian is a social enough wolf once she’s found it in herself to place trust in someone.

On the flipside of Arian's overall impatience and mistrust is a side that loves good, lighthearted fun, and craves positive interaction. She tries her best to be a support, though this can often come off at her just giving someone the blunt, brutal honesty, and attempting to give them ways to fix whatever the problem at hand is. As Lead Warrior— a role she’s not entirely sure how she got in the first place— she tries her best to channel her strengths into keeping those under her command in line.


History: Arian was born to the Fire Pack and has been there happily. She’s always been a bit battle-hungry, and is more than happy to join in the fight. She lost her mother when she was a little more than a year old, and her father still dwells in the Pack somewhere, but is quite estranged from her. Arian doesn’t mind that in the least.

Family: Nathan (father) Andromeda (mother, deceased)
Mate/Crush: None yet

Sexuality: Bi, has never considered poly, but would be (tentatively) open should a partner want to try it. Monogamous by choice.

Pups: None yet, doubts she'll have them, but would like.

Appearance: A very small mottled red, grey, and black she-wolf with amber eyes and a small scar on her right front leg.

Beta/Lead?: Arian is content where she is, though if offered a higher position, would not decline.

[sunhorsestar]

Pack: Lightning

Name: Fish
Age: 4 years
Gender: Female
Rank: Warrior

Personality: Fish is generally cheerful and bubbly, a happy-go-lucky wolf, quite energetic no matter what the situation, and always willing to crack a joke- puns are her favourite whenever she gets the chance and is in the mood- about anything. She’s very friendly, but quite an in-your-face kind of wolf, which can be more than a little off-putting. She’s very social, and she wants to do her best for her Pack, which sadly is not enough. She’s been quite well trained as a Warrior, but often thinks she should have been an All-Around, given her love of fishing, even if all she knows how to catch are trout.

On the surface, Fish does not appear very intelligent. She’s a bit out of the loop in general, and is slow on the uptake. She’s not a strategist, and is quite gullible. However, she DOES have reasoning and logic to a degree, and is very empathetic to those around her. Fish is an emotional wolf, and unafraid to show it. That and she has no filter, for like, anything. She acts however she wants, whenever she wants, and says what’s on her mind, regardless of what others may think or say. She doesn’t appear to care what others think of her, but truly, she wishes she’d be able to make ONE real friend. She remembers having had one once, but that friend has long since disappeared. Fish is quite blind to whether others like her or not for the most part, and doesn’t pick up easily on if others are frustrated with her. She’s blissfully oblivious to much. When Fish connects to someone as a friend, she connects strongly, and will support them to the end, and accept them for who they are, and not place on them any judgements. Despite the hierarchy system, Fish sees all wolves as equals, regardless of skills, rank, age, or gender, and bases her opinions solely on actions.

Fish is quite determined and stubborn despite her overall goofiness, and unafraid to take action when she needs to. She has a good memory for the little things, but strangely has a hard time recalling important information. She may be an oddball, spending much of her time in the river and sleeping in trees instead of a den, but she’s loyal to the core, and when it comes to fighting, she knows to take things seriously. Fish is by no means totally selfless, but nor is she selfish, so much as impulsive, and perhaps even bordering on reckless, she has no inner voice of reason. She’s open-minded and ready to accept and try change, though she does harbour a fear of the unknown, and even more, a fear of being left out of the loop, large due to her memory gaps.

History: Fish was born into the Lightning Pack. However, a walk in the forest after her parents split led to her mother's unfortunate fate, and Fish herself taking a fall…straight into the river. She claims a pair of salmon are her parents now, and has a tendency to be found in rivers and trees somehow, but it’s pretty common knowledge that something's not quite right in her head, so very few take her claims— any of them— very seriously.

Family: Shadow, Acero, Mano, Sira (cousins)
Mate/Crush: None yet
Sexuality: Bi, monogamous
Pups: None yet.

Appearance: A muscular silvery grey she-wolf with blue eyes and a scar over one eye.

Beta/Lead?: Nope!

Other:

[sunhorsestar]

Pack: Lightning

Name: Smoke
Age: 1 year, 11 months
Gender: Female
Rank: Warrior

Personality: Smoke is generally goofy, energetic, and ambitious, always striving to be the best. No, BETTER than the best! She can be a bit self-centered at times, and foolishly brave, rarely thinking before acting. She’s very dedicated and passionate, despite her lack of focus and almost total lack of respect for the hierarchy...and sometimes wolves as a whole.

Smoke is social and hates being alone. She’s very curious and will never leave a mystery unsolved if she can help it! She’s creative, an outside-the-box thinker, and is quite proud. She boasts often, and doesn’t give a rat's tail what others think of her, as long as she’s being totally herself, then everything is fine!

Smoke likes lighthearted fun, but is surprisingly good and passionate about deeper conversations when the opportunity presents itself. She undyingly loyal to her few loved ones, but is a bit uncertain of the world around her in general. She hovers on the border of being depressed, and tries to cover it up with exaggerated happiness and cheer in hopes of a fake-it-till-you-make-it situation. She’s not afraid to throw her ideas out there and express herself, and has an almost CONSTANT craving for attention.

History: In RP…maybe.

Family: Unknown. Adoptive mother Daisy (deceased)
Mate/Crush: None yet
Sexuality: Lesbian, monogamous
Pups: None, likely won’t have based on attraction solely to females.

Appearance: Dark grey wolf of average size, with dark bluish amber eyes.
Beta/Lead?: She'd love to be a Lead or Beta one day!

[sunhorsestar]

Pack: Lightning

Name: Toby
Age: 1 year, 8 months
Gender: Male
Rank: Hunter (he will also be my traitor character)

Personality: Toby is a very open and fun-loving wolf. He takes his job very seriously, and likes to look on the bright side of every situation. For all the bad in the world, there’s an equal amount of good, in his opinion. He’s bubbly and cheerful, yet empathetic, and not so much an in-your-face wolf as a curious and excessively supportive one.

Toby is an imaginative and creative thinker. He likes to look at hard situation in an abstract way, and consider ALL possibilities. He has genuine empathy and respect for each and every one of his Packmates, sometimes a little more than he should, as he often takes their burdens onto himself. Toby is very openly emotional and sensitive, which is good in some ways, and bad in others, as it has meant he does not have much of a filter.

Toby is not as impulsive as some wolves, and almost always considers his actions before he takes them. However, he’s not afraid to make unexpected or reckless moves when a situation calls for it. He's very brave, even if he couldn’t quite be considered selfless, and always looks out for his Packmates. Toby is quite prideful about what he does, and yet a bit awkward, and he has a high focus on family, valuing that family above all else.

History: Maybe in RP. He's quite reserved about it.

Family: Karter (brother, may make him later), Valley, Cole (sisters and older brother), Addilyn (older sister), June, Forest (younger sisters), Jen and Thomas (parents, Jen deceased)

Mate/Crush: None yet
Sexuality: Straight, monogamous
Pups: None yet

Appearance: A wolf of mottled greys, with dark amber eyes and white underbelly and paws.

Beta/Lead?: He would LOVE to be Lead Hunter one day, but he’s not holding his breath.

Other:

[sunhorsestar]

Pack: Lightning

Name: Karter
Age: 1 year, 8 months
Gender: Male
Rank: Warrior

Personality: Karter is a rather sarcastic and dry fellow, if not determined, confident on the surface, and doesn’t react particularly well to high stress situations, try as he might, unless he has some reassurance of his own safety and— if any— the safety of his loved ones. He will do anything he can for his own survival and benefit, save for the sacrifice of the one or two wolves he may have that are closest to his heart. Those are the ones he would do anything for. He’s incredibly loyal to those few, and will open his heart to them, the wolves he truly loves. However, he knows that doesn’t make him good, as he would— sometimes begrudgingly— even work for all the wrong people or do things most wolves would not see as being "right" if it helps HIM move forward.

Karter is solitary and focused. He’s not opposed to social interaction, but he’s certainly not the life of the party. He’d rather watch before he approaches someone, deem them to be "safe" or not. He's adverse to touch when not warned first, or with a stranger/near stranger. When he’s not busy with his work, he can often be found watching and taking mental notes about what he observes. He often needs to retreat, hiding from the chaos. Sometimes at social gatherings or parties he tries to flirt or make people laugh just for the heck of it, as at the end of the day, he’s still a wolf, and wolves are pack animals. While not an extrovert, Karter can still APPRECIATE company on occasion.

Karter is what one may call an adrenaline junkie. He'll do anything for the thrill and the burst of adrenaline it gives him, it’s his drive. Sometimes he ends up putting himself in…precarious situations for such reasons. However, he's liable to panic attacks and desperation if he finds himself in a truly dangerous situation, and he is not above ANYTHING in order to maintain his own safety, be it something as low as pleading, or something as extreme as attacking HIS attacker. Whatever it takes. He’s never one to skip out on a fight, and despite his physical challenges, he’s often the one to attack first, and prompts attackers to get them revved up.

Karter is very instinctive, and always follows his gut feeling, no matter what it leads him to. He has sharp senses, and does his best to put them to good use. Karter is able to acknowledge his own flaws, physical and mental alike, and will even acknowledge them aloud, often very dismissively, and sometimes to the faces of others, unafraid of what others think of him. That doesn’t mean he prides himself on those flaws.

Karter is flighty, and liable to run from situations when he can, assuming it’s not a fight he started in the first place, and especially if it seems impossible odds, even if it leaves others at risk. He often feels no remorse about such things, though is decent at faking it should the need to do so arise. He’s selfish and he knows if, and sadly, he has no wish to change things on that front. He feels insecure about a number of things. For all his callous and cold commentary here and there, Karter is quite an emotional youngster, and he’s unafraid to show it when the need to should arise.

Pack: Lightning Pack

Name: Blizzard
Age: 4 years, 6 months
Gender: Male
Rank: Warrior

Personality: Blizzard is energetic and hyper most of the time, save for those few times where he'll sink into a depressive episode. Mick can usually help with that! Blizzard is loyal to the bone, and would never let harm come to the Pack if there was anything he could do about it. He likes a good fight, and places strong value on his friends and Packmates.

Blizzard can be a bit judgemental and is highly emotional, being quick to snap and slow to recover, and he has a hard time admitting to his faults. However, he always tries his best to make things work out for the better. He’s also a cuddler with the wolves he's closest too, very touchy-feely.

Mate/Crush: None yet
Sexuality: Gay, monogamous
Pups: None

Appearance: Blizzard is an average sized wolf with sleek white fur and ice blue eyes.

Beta/Lead?: He doesn’t think he’s suited for it, but if offered then role, he wouldn’t turn it down.
