Onyx||Warrior Garde
General Information
Alias(es): Onyx Gender: Male Orientation: Straight Age: 4.5 Years Pack: Au'Dar Rank: Warrior Garde
Tafa Information
Name: Jasper Species: Golden Eagle With a seven foot wingspan, Jasper is a massive beast with talons and a beak as sharp as knives. He is intimidating in battle, taking no hesitation in attacking those bigger than him. Jasper is protective over Onyx and the two are an intimidating pair in terms of physicality and war time tactics.
Appearance
Physical Description-He stands taller than most, but isn't a giant by most means. His eyes are a dark orange and his body covered in thick, coarse, black fur with streaks of white that are more prominent along his lower maw and paws and chest. The shape of his fur around his face is triangular and jagged. He wouldn't consider himself handsome and rarely notices the looks from the ladies. He's a bit dense when it comes to anything other than war. His tail is thick and ends in a sharp point. Along the undersides of his neck and on his legs are multitudes of scars from battle.
Height/Weight -He is a large warrior standing at 39 inches and weighing at 105 pounds of lean muscle. He is a tanky in appearance and uses the in his battle skills.
Scent -He has a strong musky odor. Nature envelopes him and is strong with oak and the trees of the forest.
Voice- His voice actor would be Tommy Vext from the band Bad Wolves. It has a strong edge and is stern though if there is a kindness in him it cuts through his voice like a knife.
Reputation + Personality
Blunt- Often thinking before speaking, Onyx is just a bit too honest. Some think the boy has no tact, but his strength and pure muscle makes up for it. He is more made for the battle field than the war of emotions that comes with social interaction.
Oblivious- His lack of social skill means he is fairly oblivious to others emotions, unless a wolf comes right out and says how they feel to him, he won't have a clue nor will he do much to investigate. This makes him seem a bit cold and is what makes it even harder for him to connect with his siblings.
Strong- What he lacks in emotional intelligence he makes up for in brute strength and agility. He has a high stamina and isn't afraid to throw himself into harms way. He will put himself between his pack mates and certain doom, which results in many scars and night terrors, the later he tells no one about.
Closed Off- Similar to his sister, Onyx is rather closed off. He would rather deal with his troubles on his own than talk to others about them. He has a hard outer shell and often it is hard for him to forget that he is more than just a machine for war.
Loyal- His pack comes first and he will do everything and anything to defend it and those who call it home, even if he doesn't specifically like that wolf.
History
Onyx was the first born of his litter. He was the biggest of them all and had a pelt dark as night like his mothers. Both of his parents were great warriors with multiple talents. Though their war prowess was highly valued, his father was also a tinkerer, his white paws always tinged brown with dirt from his experiments while his mother kept their home in strict order, there was love in her eyes but as the pups grew she was tough on them to do their best to continue on their family's honorable legacy.
Onyx was eager to take on the mantle of strength and brutality. His parents put him awe of their might and grace while in and out of battle. He trained under them strictly with his siblings, though early on he spied his sister acting differently...she was strong, she would have no problem taking on anyone in a fight, yet she never applied herself like she was supposed to. It made him irritated. If she just did as she was told she would have avoided the disappointment from their parents. As they grew it got harder, because of his sisters disinterest and his brother Mercury goofing off, their days were long and full of training, Onyx missed out on much of his childhood. If his siblings could just follow their rules then they could have had fun and made their parents proud. Like his siblings, he pulled away from his sister as they aged and when it came to the days to take on their apprenticeship, he and his brothers were chosen by elite warriors while their sister further separated from them by becoming a Shepherd. Like their parents, the boys turned away from their sister and they went their separate directions. By the Coming-of-Age Ceremony Onyx felt like a stranger to his sister, it hurt him, but he didn't voice the feeling. He threw himself into his training and took on his rank of a warrior garde like his brothers but watched in awe as his sisters future was decided: she would become the future Anima. He felt like a fool for turning away from her, but the damage was done. He would look like a fool grasping for glory if he drug himself back to his sisters social graces. He rarely see's his sister now, his work being his life as he grows older. He doesn't know what the future holds, he keeps pushing away the ideas of gaining a mate and having pups, believing he has all the time in the world to get those kind of affairs in order. Until then he does regular patrols with Jasper. The two are an amazing team, they work in sync and have yet to lose a fight or let anyone get passed them on their patrols.

Smoke||Magnum Assassin
General Information
Alias(es): Smoke Gender: Male Orientation: Straight Age: 3 Years Pack: Mercurior Rank: Magnum Assassin
Appearance
Physical Description-His name is derived from his pelt. It's a mixture of various shades of grays, silvers, and tints of brown, even his eyes are dark and don't betray much about how he's feeling. He moves like a ghost and has a slim frame. The Mercurior mark is on the under side of his chest, enough for it to be the last thing a wolf see's before he takes their lives. His claws are sharp like the blades of a knife and his fangs are hard weapons. That combined with his stealth makes him a skilled assassin.
Height/Weight -His lithe frame of 30 inches helps him stay quick on his paws for his missions while his weight of 85 pounds is mainly muscle hiding under his thick pelt.
Scent - His smell is a combination of light scents like almond that helps him blend into his surroundings, though he has to be careful to stay down wind from his mark or prey or else the odd notes may betray him.
Voice-Soft and smoky, he rarely raises his voice unless a nerve is touched. He likes to sound ghost like and remain like a shadow.
Reputation + Personality
Even though he moves like a ghost he has the personality of a poltergeist. He has a cocky attitude and wants to have fun. He has a strong personality that he uses to hide his own inner worries about his skills. His personality does scream 'fake it till you make it' but he'd never let you know it with his boisterous ways. Perhaps if he fakes the happiness it'll become real or if he continues to goof around less pressure will be on him.
History
Unlike most Mercurior, Smoke grew up in the guild. His parents joined at a young age, in fact, it's how they met. Both were assassins who paired up on a large mark one day. Working together became a habit and the rest was history. Together they raised a few pups but as they grew they branched off and joined their own packs or went on to roam the world, leaving behind only Smoke. He was the youngest and often ignored by his siblings which lead him to spend a lot of time with his parents. He watched them closely and during his play, would mimic their movements on unsuspecting prey. He was training himself for the future, a fact he was oblivious to until his Dad took notice and started to train him one by one.
Blaise was a strict father and an even stricter teacher. He had high expectations for his son, who met each one, though each success lead to harder trials. Smoke enjoyed the challenge though when he came of age and got his first assignment, he was scared. What if he failed? He wouldn't be able to look his parents in the eye if he did. He set off on his own to take down a rogue who was slaughtering prey for fun, wasting the meat and decimating the food population for other wolves. He was a large brute who foamed at the mouth. Smoke watched him for days, sure his pounding heart would betray him, but the rogue was none the wiser. In the middle of one of his hunts, Smoke struck. The battle was fierce and Smoke quickly realized he was no physical match for this strong man, he had to come up with something quick before being killed. He ran from the male, throwing back taunts and further enraging him, making him blind with emotion and oblivious to where Smoke was leading him. Having mapped the area before hand, Smoke had one chance to get this right. He ran towards a previous kill-a large buck with a horn broken into a sharp point. He got closer and closer to the body and leapt over it, the horn grazing his chest, making it bleed from a small cut. it was like a razor blade. The older male had no chance. He was impaled by the horn and fell dead. Smoke claimed his mark, he had done as he needed and after that held his head high, though no one knows that the mark had truly died during an accident, if it hadn't been for that antler there is no saying that Smoke would have survived the ordeal. Even with the lie he took his mark as fully fledged assassin and though he carries the guilt of lying about his first success and worries that the truth will be found out, he carries on as if he can take on the world and so far hasn't failed in taking a mark, though he still wonders what would have happened if he hadn't lucked out.

Zero||Pup
General Information
Alias(es): Zero, "Z" Gender: Male Orientation: Straight Age: 8 months Pack: Vertok Rank: Pup
Appearance
Physical Description-Due to his young age, Zero is yet to have any scars. His pelt is white like snow and his mane is of a silver color and he is highlighted with creams. Around his nose and lips the fur goes to a dark grey. His has a sharp, angular face that often makes him be mistaken for a female. That mistake results in a snapping bark of correction that will ensure no mistake in the future. He is lean and yet to grow muscle though strives to some day be the idea brawny male that he sees around the Vertok.
Height/Weight- He is steadily gaining weight and growing taller. He weights 33 pounds and stands at about Scent-He smells like his sisters and adopted mother in their den. His own smell has yet to develop due to his cramped quarters.
Voice-Zach Tyler Eisen, the voice of Aang on Avatar the Last Airbender, very high pitched and excitable.
Reputation + Personality
Serious- He is as playful as most pups, but when it comes to matters that interest him, such as watching the warriors train, he becomes as serious as a woodland fire, keeping his eyes locked on them and memorizing their moves so he can replicate them in his pay and become stronger.
Confident- Though he is a small pup, he keeps his head held high and doesn't let anything hold him back. This often results in him running head first into situations without a second thought.
Protective- Being the only boy of the litter, Zero takes it upon himself to look after his sisters-even with them being older than he, he will protect them from any sort of danger that he perceives as imminent. When he thinks of his mom, he sometimes wonders if he could have protected her from the claws of death, even though those older know the truth and that it would be impossible to remedy.
Skeptical- He isn't oblivious to the sad looks of his pack or the whispers. He knows something is different about him and his sisters but he can't place his paw on what. He wants to find the answers about his mother, hoping the knowledge will help him feel closer to her.
History
Life didn't start easy for this young boy and his sisters. Tragedy befell their mother-though not much has been told to the pups, being deemed too young to know the evil of the world just yet. His and sisters mother was young when she found her love in a mate named Yarro, the two were loners, ostracized from their packs. The two were from two packs on the opposite of a long battle of hatred so their love was forbidden. The two didn't care, enjoying each others company as they went off on their own, but it wasn't long before their mother Aleen fell pregnant. Now worried about their future pups survival Aleen focused on finding them pack to join, Yarro following out of duty though the boy wasn't ready to be a father. His discomfort soon fell to loathing as they joined a pack that he thought was too uppity, but he felt like he didn't have a choice in the matter. Settling into the pack wasn't easy, Yarro became more distant and not understanding, Aleen became angry and would nag at him for abandoning her. Their interactions became more of arguments until finally something in Yarro snapped.
He couldn't take it anymore and unleased his fury on his pregnant mate who was due any day from now. He didn't care, he though of Aleen as nothing more than a burden as he tore into her, her screams being dull on his ears. The only thing that stopped him was when her claw struck his eye, puncturing it. The pain was severe enough to make him stop. He took steps back, looking as his bloody mate who was hardly holding onto dear life. "You were a mistake." Yarro growled before turning and running into the night, passing confused wolves. Some were about to follow when they heard the young female cry for help. They rushed to her aid and Yarro escaped into the night.
Thankfully before the sweet release of death, their mother had been able to give birth to three pups, ensure. The pups were raised by wet nurses, primarily a sweet female named Ara who acts as their mother. Ara has been honest to the pups to the point that they know the she-wolf isn't their mother and their real mother had passed on during birth and all they know of their father is that he was gone into the night. The youngsters hold hope that he will be back, oblivious to his evil deed.
Zero is the youngest of his sisters and has a body type similar to them. He is lean and has sharp features but isn't afraid to show his sisters whose the boss, though if anyone dares to raise a paw against the girls he is sure to jump in without a second thought.
He is playful though enjoys watching the adults train, mimicking their moves in his play with the hopes that some day he can be as strong as them.

Ragnar||Swamp Wolf
General Information
Alias(es): Ragnar Gender: Male Age: 4 Years Pack: None Rank: None/Loner
Appearance
Physical Description: His fur is a mixture of light and dark browns with a grey-nearly black-patch that ends at his shoulders and stretches up over his head and ears. It narrows down to a point on his face, shading around his muddy eyes like the mask of a raccoon.
As your eyes travel to his chest and underbelly the fur is a light tan but it quickly turns green-stained from the algae and plant matter that served as his home when he was a young pup and adventurous teen. Whether he is in the water or out of it, his underbelly is matted and green.
Height/Weight-A larger male standing about 32 inches tall and weighs in at about 100 pounds.
Scent-He has a musky odor that can simply be described as wet due to constantly being in the water and has a slight hint of swamp plants.
Voice-Eric Vanlerberghe from I Prevail he has a rather average voice but when he becomes angry his voice takes on a harsh gravely tone.
Reputation + Personality
Gruff- He isn't one to extend a kind paw, he doesn't welcome anyone with a smile. He would much rather be left alone to his own devices.
Reclusive- He is used to being alone, he isn't one to try to find a pack or a family. He doesn't need the heart ache that comes with genuine connection. Though that cloud of loneliness does follow him-he just does very well ignoring it.
Pessimistic- He doesn't see a reason in keeping hope. Everything is going to end eventually. He doesn't see himself as good company to anyone or worth the time spent in someone getting to know him.
Problem Solving- Having been alone for so long now, Ragnar has become skilled at solving his own problems. He thinks things through before jumping to conclusions and thinks of round about solutions to his problems.
Intelligent- Though he seems like a back woods wolf living in a primitive fashion, Ragnar is smarter than he looks.
Adept Swimmer- He is able to hold his breathe under water for extended amount of times. He is more nimble in the water than on land. Murky and dangerous looking water doesn't phase him. He does fairly well in keeping himself a float and using the water to his advantage.
History
Judging by the long drawl in his voice and the green staining of his fur, it's obvious Ragnar is not a native to this land. He grow up in a valley that was completely swamp land in a rather small, close knit pack. They swam the thick muddy water over grown with plants like they were nothing, the water was home and the earth was only good for sleeping and the raising of pups.
Ragnar's parents were simple folk who doted on him and his brother Rohan, The two were confidants in each other, the best of friends, they were there for each other through thick and thin until Ragnar fell in love with Lily. The feelings were mutual between the two of them, but unknown to Ragnar, Rohan had always had a flame for Lily and seeing his brother with his only love made Rohan hate Ragnar.
Instead of speaking with him, Rohan left in the middle of the night and was never to be seen again. The loss of him made his parents sad, they were ashamed that their son had left such a tight knit pack that valued family above all else. Them losing Rohan made them like black sheep, which resulted in many ignoring them, even when the two elders fell ill.
Ragnar did all he could to save and heal his parents but it was no use, they passed after a few weeks. Ragnar was lost without them, but at least he had Lily. The two were still a young couple, no pups yet, but they were in the plan...until Lily got sick. Her symptoms were identical to his parents and Ragnar tried to treat her, but nothing worked.
Lily passed soon after and one by one this mysterious illness claimed the lives of every pack member until only Ragnar remained. He didn't understand it, he waited to fall ill but it never came to claim his life. Instead he was left in that swamp by himself, he buried each corpse with care but by the end all he saw was a grave yard, he had to leave. Ragnar set off on his own, leaving his only home and still having no idea as to where his brother went and why he left.
In this new land Ragnar found a small bog that he calls his home, digging out a den between hallow logs and spends most of his day waiting for death to claim him.

Briar||Rook Apprentice
General Information
Alias(es): Briar Gender: Female Orientation: Straight Age: 2 Years Pack: Vertok Rank: Rook Apprentice
Appearance
Physical Description - She is a slim framed wolf that is more on the average side. Her stature lends to her strength and increases her speed. Her claws are a dark black and have sharp hooks that help her gain traction and take sharp turns when she's in a run. Her pelt is a blend of blacks and earthy browns, the black more prominent around her pale yellow eyes. Her pointed ears are soft like velvet and are always in an alert position.
Height/Weight- She stands at about 35 inches tall and weighs in at 65 pounds.
Scent- From being out in the woods with her paws churning the dirt, Briar has a rather earthy smell to her. It isn't a displeasing smell, more like the scent after a heavy rain.
Voice- Cricket Leigh, the voice of Mei from Avatar the Last Air Bender. Her voice is raspy and serious, thus strengthen her aura of seriousness.
Reputation + Personality
Determined- If she has a goal, there is rarely a thing that can stop her from pursuing them and conquering them. She loves a challenge no matter how big or how small. She is often called stubborn, though she prefers the term determined.
Serious-Her parents have put a lot of pressure on her to be perfect and bring honor to them, this upbringing has made her focus more on her future rather than enjoying her present as she has gotten older.
Dreamer- Below her serious exterior Briar often dreams of her future which she believes is better than the life she has as a pup. Her current life isn't terrible, but she holds hope that things will be better when she is older.
Sweet- Briar does have a soft spot under her had exterior, it just takes a moment for it to come out, but once you're past that surface she will do anything she can for a friend.
Agile- One of the traits that makes her stand out as an apprentice Rook is Briar's agility, she can navigate tight turns on a run and has rather quick reflexes.
History
Briar was the only pup born of her parents litter, they doted on her and encouraged her to strive for the best, though her parents had their own ideas for their daughter. They wanted her to be a Bishop, a healer, both of her parents are Pawns in the pack, dedicating their lives to the Vertok and though they found pride in their rank they wanted more for Briar. At first she thought she could become a healer, but as she grew she became less interested in the medicinal properties of plants and found herself watching the Rooks as they left the pack and came back with prey. She admired their work and sometimes would sneak off to watch them leave on a hunt until they got to far. She spent more time avoiding her studies and eventually her parent began to take notice. Though they weren't happy they let their daughter continue to watch and observe her until Briar got up the nerve to tell her parents that she wanted to start an apprenticeship as a Rook when she was a year of age. Her parents agreed, thinking she could bring them honor by becoming a strong huntress.
Unknown to Briar, when she would follow the Rooks as they headed out onto their hunts, she was spotted by Ryv, a long time Rook who found potential in the brown toned pup. Eventually he began to sit with the pups around Briars age and tell them stories of their hunts, making the little girl stare and listen with wide eyes. Every story made her want to go out into the world more and more. Between stories and studying the Rooks when they were in the pack grounds, Briar focused on improving herself physically. She would make up her own training routines in her head and every day she would go out on runs, jumping over obstacles and coming up with whatever she could to become more fit.
Her frame began to bulk up and Ryv noticed the change, giving Briar hints of what she could do to improve and Ryv would check in on her parents here and there. Once Briar was of age she asked Ryv to become his apprentice. To her horror he laughed, she was sure he was going to turn her down, instead he countered her with: "I was hoping you would ask."
From that day on Briar has focused hard on her apprenticeship, so much that she often forgets she is still young and has a full life ahead of her so it's up to her friends to help her remember that there is still fun in life and that she doesn't have to wait for her dreams to come true in order to enjoy the world around her instead of just sticking to the tasks at hand.

Post by Bri on Nov 23, 2020 22:33:22 GMT
Venturis Ventis is a semi-realistic wolf roleplay, which means we mix together both realistic and unrealistic factors when it comes to our characters and their world. But, minus wolves having the ability to talk, many factors of our characters are based on real wolves. Information about wolves, their appearances, their behaviors, ect. can be found here. This info can be used to create acceptable characters, as well as make in-character interaction feel more life-like.
Appearance Before we get into the details, a few things need pointed out first. -Breeds: On VV, we don't really use specific breeds of wolf. You are welcome to if you wish, but we do not. All of our information is a sort of combination of many breeds. So it is possible for a wolf who looks like a certain breed to also have other features, such as size, that they usually wouldn't. -Terrain: We are also aware that not all wolves live in the same sort of habitats. Similarly with breeds, we are basically throwing all of them together and are under the idea that all breeds can live in a place with a climate like the one our site has.
Eye Colors:
Wolf eyes are most commonly varying shades of brown, yellow, amber, gray, and sometimes green. In real life, wolf pups start the first few weeks of their life with blue eyes, but their eyes change to their adult color within 6 to 10 weeks. Another branch away from realism, on VV we will allow wolves to have blue eyes, but do be mindful that even here a wolf with bright blue eyes would not be very common.
Pelts Colors: Colors of wolf fur, realistically, can be many different ranges and are usually a combination of multiple colors. While most pelts are multiple colors, it is also possible for them to be solid in color. Black - Gray - White - Brown - Tan - Orange - Cream These are the primary wolf colors, most pelts having a combination between at least 2 or more. Those are the base colors, but various shades of each are possible. While realistic fur colors are obviously acceptable, on VV we do allow slight variations to give characters more...character. For example, if a silver wolf has a slight blue tint, that is acceptable. Or browns and oranges that are slightly more red than normal. If you are unsure if a certain pelt color is acceptable, ask the staff.
Markings: The markings found on typical wolves can be a very large range of things, whether they have light underbellies, darker ears, tipped tails, ect. Just looking up pictures of general wolves, there are a variety of patterns, very few that are exactly like another. Because of this, markings acceptable on VV can't really be put into a specific list. But, keep in mind that this is still semi-realistic. No, not everything is completely true to real life, but we aren't full fantasy either. You aren't going to find a wolf in the wild who has a black pelt covered in big white stars and hearts. While we know none of our members would do that, if you have a marking idea for a character and don't know if it is alright, ask a staff member.
Sizes Height:
Minus the specification of breeds, this is the general size chart that would be used to pick how tall a wolf is. In case it is difficult to read: Small Wolf: 24-29 inches (60-74 cm) Medium Wolf: 30-37 inches (75-94 cm) Large Wolf: 38-41 inches (95-105 cm) Any of these sizes is acceptable on VV.
Weight: Females: 60 to 100 pounds Males: 70 to 145 pounds For the sake of creativity, these weights can be slightly above or below, but do not go crazy.
Length: An average wolf's body is 3-5 feet long and their tails are normally 1-2 feet long, but, like with weight, these can be slightly stretched for the sake of character creation.
Mutations There are many mutations in the world found in all sorts of creatures. Just as many specific mutations are rare in real life, there are mutations that are rare here also and are limited in their creation. Keep in mind that the listed mutations are both realistic and unrealistic. Some of these may not even be found in real wolves, but to provide more creative freedom and make unique characters, mutations found in other animals, mostly other canines, will be applied here. In addition, there may be a mutation or two that would not be found in real life at all and are here, once again, for the sake of creativity. This is a small list, but it may expand in the future. If you think of a mutation that is not on this list and are not sure if it is allowed, message a member of staff. Albinism: Or albino, this is a coat/eye mutation in which the fur turns solid snow white and the eyes are varying shades of pinks and reds. Gigantism: When a wolf grows to an unnaturally large size. This is not common in real life, so it would be extremely rare here. Heterochromia: Different colored eyes. Should someone on VV create a wolf with this mutation, you are limited to only realistic wolf eye colors. This mutation can not be paired with the unique eye color. Unique Eye Color: A special mutation, this applies to eyes that would be completely unrealistic colors such as red, purple, ect. Though it may be obvious, this does not mean a wolf can have eyes that are a rainbow. This is a singular color.
[Sources: 1, 2
Development -To make the growing of wolves easier, some realistic aspects of a growing wolf will be left out.-
Litters: Typical wolf litters are between 4-6 pups. On VV, there can be between 1-6, with 6 being somewhat more uncommon.
Communication/Behavior "Wolves use three main avenues of communication: olfactory (scent), postural (body language) and vocal." -Some things stated below are inputted for the sake of roleplay and are not entirely realistic. These behaviors are italicized.-
Scent Paws: "Because wolves have scent glands between their toes, they leave their personal signature wherever they walk." Urination: Wolves will most commonly urinate to mark pack borders or to mark prey they believe to be theirs.
Vocal "Vocal communication among wolves consists of howls, whines, growls and barks." Howling: Assembling the pack, claiming territory/prey, or in some cases for entertainment. Whining: Showing affection, expressing pain/fear/sadness. Growls: Establish dominance, express warning, or general aggression. Barks: When alarmed, excitement, or during chases.
Body Language:
[Source: 1]
Diets/Hunting "Wolves usually hunt in packs or sometimes individually. A wolf will nearly always eat what it catches almost completely." "Wolves have large stomachs and can devour 20 – 25 pounds of food at any one feeding time. However, wolves are able to survive without food for up to 2 weeks or even longer if prey is scarce."
Primary Prey - usually hunted by packs and not individuals
- Deer
- Moose
- Bison
- Mountain Goats
- Sheep
- Elk
- Caribou
Secondary Prey - most commonly hunted by those who are alone or when opportunity strikes
- Rabbits
- Snakes
- Mice
- Birds
- Fish
- Beavers
Extras - these are typically only eaten when prey is scarce or as a small snack
- Blueberries
- Ash Berries
- Cowberries
- Apples
- Pears
- Grass (such as when their stomachs are upset)

If you created an NPC and they were accepted, but are not listed here, contact a member of staff and it will be fixed.

[googlefont="Michroma"][googlefont="Hind"] NPC is explained as a non-playable character in table top and video games. For our role play an NPC is like a side character with a brief back story, a picture and a name. Instead of making an entirely new character to serve only a few purposes in role play, an NPC can be made and used by anyone to further add to their story telling. Characters that can be NPCs are virtually endless. NPCs are useful for history and character building.
There aren't many rules for the NPCs. Members are welcomed to design their own and post them to the creation thread the same way a regular app is done, BE SURE TO LABEL THEM AS AN NPC, and wait for them to be approved by the admin team and moved to the appropriate place. Accounts for the NPCs are NOT necessary. Once submitted anyone is free to use as many or little NPCs as they want in their role play. If you find yourself liking a certain NPC and want to make them into a permanent character, let the staff know and we will help you get things in order! Some NPC's may also be up for adoption by their creator, so if you take an interest, make sure to look for that! If you want to kill off an NPC, please let admin and the original NPC creator become aware of this move so that all threads can remain updated for everyone involved. Additionally, please respect the wishes of the original creator. If they do not wish for the NPC to be killed, please do not do so.

[googlefont=Quicksand] ----- The Rules -----
Respect your staff and the rest of your players
- No pestering, stalking, or harassment of ANY KIND. We do not tolerate bullies and it could lead to an instant ban.
- When it comes to our characters, yes, we all grow attached to them at times, but please do not attack another person's character just because you are having trouble with another member. Also remember, don't take what happens to heart. This is a roleplay: if a character doesn't like your's, that comes with the territory of role play and developing character relationships.
- Also, if you have an issue with a fellow member we ask that you take care of this problem privately rather than publicly. We do not partake or encourage shaming someone. If things get out of hand, please DM staff and we will assist with what you need.
- Your admin team is here to keep the environment safe and welcoming; we aren’t oblivious that there may be issues, we just want them to be taken care of in a mature way.
-- Most communication takes place on our Discord, located here, this is where we have fun and chat, it's up to you if you join it, by joining it you will be easier connected to the other members in order to plot and get to know them. It is recommended but not required to join the Discord. --
Character Application
- Due to this being a wolf role play there are no face claims, just try to not use the same exact picture that someone else is using. Some handy places to find free-use images are:
- Please wait for you character to be accepted before role playing-we try to get characters accepted within 24 hours of completion. When you finish a character please post a link to the page in the appropriate thread of the Discord. If you haven’t heard anything by 24 hours, please contact staff.
- If you are still working on your character and have not completed it, but you started roleplaying said character, you will receive three warnings; if you do not comply you will be suspended for one week before being allowed to return. If you continue to disregard this rule, you will be banned.
- There is no character limit at this time, we encourage you to have as many characters as you can handle.
This is a one account per member forum, which means your characters will be made in separate threads and will be rped from your one account.
No God-modding/Overpowered Characters
- This is a simple one; you only have control over your own character. DO NOT make actions for others unless given permission.
- All characters have their own strengths and weaknesses, no on is indestructible. Do not force people into have characters fight if they don’t want to or constantly argue with them over why your character would be the dominant one. We get it, your character is precious to you but that doesn’t mean you get to push around other people in order to argue that yours is “best”.
This forum is about having a good time, not creating a toxic environment where one or two characters rule supreme.
Mature Content
- We are a semi mature site. You do not EVER have to partake in a story line that makes you feel uncomfortable, violence in terms of fighting and hunting is okay, just don't make it too gory.
- We reserve the right to stop you from going into explicit scenes that are morally wrong. While mentioning that your character was taken advantage of in their history is fine, playing such scenes out will not be welcomed here. We ask that you make sure to respect other players triggers!
Word Count & Literacy
- We welcome RPers of all types. Though we ask that English be your primary language and people can understand you. We do not believe in word counts. Both one liners, semi-lit, and paragraph types are allowed to be played. No Chatspeak allowed, unless you are using ( ) or OOC:/ or BIC:/
Mating, Pregnancy, and Birth
- Mating of characters must be agreed upon by both players. Pregnancy can only happen if both players involved agree to it. Pregnancy must be played out for one IRL month before a pup is born.
- It is up to both rp partners involved to choose if the child stays as a character or will placed into our adoptable's section for someone else to pick up. Until the pup is adopted it can be played as an NPC.
Character Death
- Characters can die here- either for story purposes or because you wish them to, we do have a retired characters section. This is in case you don't want to roleplay your character anymore, but don't want to delete them either in case you ever decide to do so.
Activeness
- Please be active! A forum with only a few members that get on and others that don't will fail to grow and those few who are roleplaying, their characters will not develop like we all want them to. We understand that life happens, and you are not able to stop by every day, BUT if possible, please inform an administrator that you will be absent for a little bit: No explanation needed, the best way to do this is by messaging an admin directly or by posting in the appropriate Discord thread
- If you have made a character, and posted responses, after three months of being in-active, you will be deleted. Unless you have informed an administrator of your absence.
- If you have been accepted but have not created a character, you will have two months of being inactive before being deleted. Unless you have informed an administrator of your absence.
