The prey that once was abundant in this land has seemed to be gone- no food- nothing left but small creatures that are mostly a snack for the wolves. Bigger game has run out- they aren't anywhere- and how degrading it is for the pack of wolves that currently led that territory. They were once strong and mighty, the most feared pack throughout the forest and now what? Now they were resorting to snatching up smaller creatures and even resorting to cannibalism if they had to. How disgusting, those smaller canines, wolves aren't supposed to eat one of their family- which is why they have resorted to hunting something worse. Humans, or even human cattle. The poor wolves know the consequences, but the alpha is running out of decisions, and all the arguments are causing many bloody fights, and now distrust is now dancing about in the pack! The poor alphas alone in this leadership they both don't know what to do; they try to reason with the pack- but frustration is causing most to go crazy. The alphas have begun to think they should follow what the prey are most likely doing, leave and find a paradise, nothing else is going to come but bad if they stay at their territory, what worse is that the smaller ones they are feasting off of are coming down with a sickness, any wolf caught eating an infected one should be killed immediately. Foaming at the mouth, they are becoming insane- what better is to put them done despite how hard it is. Rabies, that is the sickness that is killing many- and the wolves are slowly becoming weaker and weaker. The humans are also making it hard for the pack, invading and looking out for blood, they are incredibly angry for the loss of many of their kind and their cattle, and now guns are killing off many members of the pack- and they are even ruining the wolves habitat, maybe that's the reason for the prey's disappearance?
However,
Word is going around about a paradise, the current alpha has heard of it- and doesn't know whether to follow the myth, was it a myth? Oh who cares, it was their only hope in escaping- they needed to- or else they'll be lost. They have to go- they are being driven out by many others, many are going to be lost, and only the strongest will make it- they have to cross many hard physical features- and its all to get to a place many don't think is real, but maybe..just maybe.. the myth might just be true.
Elyaris.
The season of this roleplay is going to take place in winter- and a hard one at that. It snows almost everyday, and the snow is continuing to rise in inches. Prey is scarce as stated before, and only smaller canines such as foxes roam about to catch little creatures in the snow. The matted down pine needles are all covered in white snow, or are bare- creating frosted leaves that sometimes drift to the white floor. The trees are also sagging, sometimes touching the backs of anyone walking under them, however the winds are very harsh- sometimes blowing the branches this way and that and causing them to break off into the air. Anyone who appreciated nature could at least see how beautiful it was, how peaceful it was and how that could provide warmth, but no, winters are bad, too cold and too hard to walk through, and they sometimes add to the bad mood others might have. Everything, such as vegetation and water sources are all icy and have a snowy edge to it, forcing many to find new water and making plant-eaters have to search to find any sort of green; making many of the smaller game die as well- and also increase sickness and even the spread of it due to the desperate creatures. The snow is everywhere- there is no escape from it- so far- the wolves haven't seen any place without snow, and they have even seen the rare sight of icicles, that reflect the image of the snowy forest- however there is no sound, and it is still unless bothered. Oh Elyaris, that myth of a place, it is supposed to be viewed with rich prey all about, game that stands in a beautiful meadow with splashes of color everywhere! Flowers of every scent and kind, with many shrubs and vegetation that adds to the detail of that paradise. Trees are supposed to be tall but friendly, with flowers decorating its green covered branches as sun shines above it. It is normally warm there, and has a tropical feel to it whenever it rains, however it is not hot- nor cold- how strange. But it is after all, a paradise for all creatures. Elyaris is also described to be a forest of healing- that is the biggest myth of them all- but when one is desperate, they'll attempt to believe anything about that paradise that is hidden from a human's eye.
?? 1. The main rule of this roleplay is going to godmodding, ghosting, powerplaying, and all that, none of that please. If you wish to challenge the alpha do it fairly and don't do a: Wisam jumped and killed the alpha, then became leader.
2. No wolfspeak, and when I say that I mean: The glorious fae known as Night walked with her long pillars out ahead of her, her orbs scanned the terra and the fae swished her long banner.
3. You may only have one to three characters, and you must play ALL of them, and keep them all active too; for example someone might be speaking to one of your characters and in your next post you don't reply and only reply on your two others, which might leave them quite frustrated, so keep all your characters roleplaying and active if you want multiple ones.
4. Realistic pictures are needed, no drawings of wolves, no photo manipulations of wolves, just realistic pictures. Also, if you don't have a picture describe what your wolf looks like- but keep it realistic. Also please know that the secret word is 'escape to elyaris'. But double also know, ask me if you want your wolf to have different colored eyes, and I want a specific and or scientific reason.
5. Excessive inappropriate language is not allowed, minor language is acceptable but don't go overboard. Also remember to follow all feralheart rules.
6. Wolves are the only species you may play in the roleplay, no owls, no foxes, no lions, no nothing, just wolves, and no lone wolves either. Due to the fact that the second secret word is 'earth beneath my paws', and also due to the fact the pack is going to be moving a lot, and loners getting behind is just kind of stupid for the roleplay.
7. Be active in the roleplay please, not saying you have to post 3-4 times a day, but at least try to be active. Also, don't flood the roleplay with your posts, wait until some others have posted!
8. This is a realistic roleplay, which means no unnatural markings, no super powers, no special abilities, no items or clothing, no taking a big game down for yourself, and no extra big teeth or claws, nothing of that sort, be a normal wolf in this roleplay.
9. If your character develops rabies and is killed, you are free to make other characters.
10. Don't steal another characters appearance or personality, be unique and creature your own character that you'll be comfortable roleplaying with!
11. This roleplay is literate, so not text speak, and no one-liners of a post. Four sentences is the minimum, but you are free to exceed that limit! Its encouraged actually.
12. Hate the character, not the player, be friendly! Also, if you feel you are being ignored, force yourself in the roleplay, offer some advice, help someone, encourage someone, anything so that you don't feel left it! Don't just sit there and sulk saying: No one is roleplaying with me. :c. NO. Get into the roleplay.
13. Expect gore and blood in the roleplay possibly, due to many fights that might occur.
14. Post in third person!
15. Have fun!
The alpha female rank is currently occupied by Meowzers, and the character's name is Inxis. Being the alpha female means that they are the female leader of the pack, what they say is law and must not be challenged. This spot can be taken if another fights the alpha female and takes leadership.
The alpha male rank is currently not occupied, however is locked until Rae finds a love interest and declares him as her mate. Being the alpha male means that they are the male leader of the pack, what they say is law and must not be challenged unless the other alpha mentions something, then they are free to argue. This spot cannot be taken unless the current alpha female accepts the other male.
The high council rank is locked unless the alpha has pups. They are the pups of the alpha, and usually become alpha if the previous ones retire or die- or leave.
The main council rank is currently not open. The main council rank is a high position in the pack, they usually give advice to the alphas, and help out with others in the pack, but otherwise are below the alpha and their word is not law.
Subordinate rank is currently open, and there is unlimited spots. Apply! Subordinates are the 'normal' wolves of the pack, they do things such as hunt- protect the park- guard the pups, whatever that is assigned to them.
The young rank is currently closed unless a female has pups, but this may not be good due to the hardships the pack is going to have to go through.
