Hello, and welcome to the land of Runic. A land of lush greens, the tallest trees the eyes can behold, and home to two packs of which are thriving of canines. The far east of Runic is home to the Riverside Guardians, a group of wolves who are fairly peaceful, yet can win in almost any debate. They are fairly strong, and mostly seek knowledge to fill their minds, and to tell plentiful stories onto their prosperity. On the west side, Nightgale Occupation's home is planted in the depths of the large and plentiful redwoods that hide their camp, along with most sunlight. They are known as the pack of mystery, ones that always are identified as dark and dangerous... though they are just cloaked in dark robes of lies. Truthfully, they just like to be solitary, where they can trust the wolves around them, and not worry too much of dangerous rouges or loners.
It's always been these two packs together... yet they don't even know the other exists. Though, in this century, after decades of no change, a strange group of wolves appear to finally bring these two packs into recognition of each other. Rouges. They are of the name, Midnight Striders, and they are a strict, and very dangerous pack that wishes to rule over the perfect land of Runic. As the two current packs realize their troubles... they stumble across each other. At first, they of course don't get along, and are now starting to become a bit hostile.
Will they come together to be-rid this awful threat and save their land?
Nightgale Info
(http://kevinraber.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/july-exhibit-redwood-2-00042.jpg)
Nightgale's camp is in the middle of a fallen Redwood field, which is surrounded by more of those giant trees, which shroud out most sunlight sadly. The camp looks a bit dark and lonely, yet, the pack loves it and doesn't take notice, as this has been most of their homes forever. It's rare to see a rouge or loner joining the group, as in all truth, they don't get out much into the real open lands full of light. Such as this, most of the wolves have very skilled night vision, as their eyes have adapted over their lifetime. The wolves are very tight knit, and more of a family than anything. Mostly, no discipline is even needed as they just tease each other like brother and sisters, best friends, and just random friends. They are just so used to life their, that seeing anyone new causes most to become very skittish, shy, and nervous. Even if they aren't good with other wolves, their hunting skills are perfect. Often only two are needed to take down a large buck, and this is fairly good in wolf senses, and considering how strong these bucks are. They are usually medium sized, and nice and slim, built for speed and agility, yet are very toned and skilled with their balance and agility.
Riverside Guardians
(https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRBZYwk0Foa6ZXg6tvdVobrjo75iLiecruAWk_MhSnZZSesY6Vi)
Riverside Guardians are as different as black and white to the Nightgale Occupation. They are the ones that live in the light, and encounter all types of creatures besides prey. They are more skilled in defense and actually built a type of army in their ranks, as they have had some rouge and loner problems, yet easily solved them as the largest group they ever dealt with before the Midnight Striders came, was four. Their hunting mostly is in large groups, and they aren't the fastests, and are mostly giant wolves. One of their stories even tells of their founder of their pack, yet it says he was born of a Redwood, and that is why they are all so large and broad. They have a strict leadership, as they are ones that demand respect and loyalty, yet often have their bonding moments within the pack. They have the most ranks compared to the Nightgales, and carry them out faithfully. The strong and the strict, they are called this for good reason as you see... and they train their pups at the age they can actually start to handle their strict training. They breed soldiers, and that's their goal. The wolves usually are plentiful with prey, even if they aren't the most skilled in the art of hunting, as they are right next to the main source of water. The mouth of the river in Runic lies right on the outskirts of their camp, practically leading the animals right to them... along with the wolves and other threats. That is why they must always stay on alert for threats.

Shem
Shem lay sprawled out on his side in a small pile of fallen leaves at the base of one of the large redwood trees. As normal, he spent the majority of his day lazing about and sleeping in the filtered sunlight that managed to reach the forest floor through the canopy of leaves above. The mixbreed wolf lazily slept, able to tune out the rambunctious activity of his packmates around him. In his unconscious state, he didn't bother to even twitch an ear.

Angelray
Angelray was trying her best to rally up a herd of pups, which bounced and squealed around with delight across all her herbs and medicines. When they messed with the unconscious old wolf laying inside, Angelray snapped at them with a growl. "Stop it! Quit messing around and get out you little fluffs." She barked. Even when she was angry, she was playful. And thus, making her a very formidable medic. The pups blinked, and than skipped on out of the den, laughing up a storm. Angelray sighed, looking to the elder wolf that didn't even budge, and let out a relieved breath.
(And Accepted! Love Hudsons too baby, don't worry XD Go ahead and join in whenever my baby fluff <3)

(http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/266/0/4/hudson_bay_wolf_204_by_wolfstory-d5fo06o.jpg)
Japthen
The loud an snappy chirps of the birds filled her ears as Japthen rolled onto her side. Morning birds always ruined her day - squawking their high-pitched heads into the air. Rolling her eyes, the Hudson wolf stretched out on the ground, relaxing a little as she rested her head onto her paws. The familiar squeals of the pups bursted into her ear, and she raised her head to see that Angelray, the medic, was shooing them away from her herbs. Pups...always so troublesome. Japthen decided, keeping her thoughts to herself. She never understood why pups were so...annoying, and she certainty didn't want to find out.
Rising to her paws, her gaze followed the herd of pups as they skipped towards the nursery. A sigh escaped her maw as she raised her head into the direction of the medicine den, and she willing padded towards it. Nosing her way in, the hunter stood in the entrance as she glanced around. Once her eyes got adjusted to the dim light, Japthen craned her neck in attempt to search for Angelray.
"Hey," she called. "I noticed the pups leaving from your den. I'd figure you might want some help."
((Thank you, m'dear! Very polite and sweet c:))

((Of course my fluff <3 And congrats on the MOTS Nomination! I hope you get all the votes you can later on <333))
(http://a-z-animals.com/media/animals/images/470x370/red_wolf3.jpg)
Angelray
Angelray perked her ears to the familiar fae, and sighed, giving a tired-like smile to the wolf. "Thank you for your concern, but, nothing too serious happened." she said reassuringly, glancing to some of the ruined seeds which usually helped with pain. They were all covered up by dirt and even a little worm slithered over their little pale coatings. Angelray just glanced up, as if saying, 'Why must this always happen right when everything's in order?'. The fae than just gave Japthen a little sigh, a little shrug joining the party. "I just need to make another gathering trip I guess..."
-
((Ooo, yeah! Congratulations on that, floof!! C: Imma vote for 'ya!))
(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ydc2lV7D618/TEBuhCF08lI/AAAAAAAAB0c/TmuxjU0kj6c/s1600/Mexican+wolf+compr.jpg)
Shem
The sleeping male let out a groggy groan and covered his head with his forepaw in an attempt at blocking out the noise. "Hnng. Someone just- shut those kids up. I'm trying to get my beauty sleep." Shem grumbled sleepily, not bothering to open his eyes. Stretching out his legs, he lazily rolled over to his other side so that his back was to the rambunctious noise of the pups and the other small voices of the waking pack members. With a heavy sigh of contentment, Shem quickly began to drift back into a careless slumber.

Japthen
Japthen dipped her head politely in return, still standing in the entrance. "Well, if you need an assitance, feel free to call. It would be a pleasure to help," she offered, before turning and padding out of the den. Squinting against the sunlight, the hunter made her way through the den-site, as a soft breeze ruffled her fur. Scanning the area with her brown optics, Japthen padded over to the Alpha, dipping her head again.
"Do you need me for anything else?" she inquired, wishing she could do something out of camp. At the voice of Shem, Japthen rolled her eyes at the sight of him. "Lazy butt," she muttered under her breath, before returning back to the Alpha.
((D'aw - thank you very much! I appreciate that, sweeties. <333 :3 Also, we need an Alpha as well))
-
<3 ))
(http://a-z-animals.com/media/animals/images/470x370/red_wolf3.jpg)
Angelray
The fae's ear flicked at the phrase 'beauty sleep', feeling her playful tone slip into her words as she spoke to the lazy brute. "My dear, real beauty actually comes from getting up and doing something." she said simply, though smirked as she was only teasing. As if she'd actually smart off to a hunter like that, heavens to betsy no. She only chuckled, shaking her head. The fae acknowledged Japthen, sighing in what seemed awe at the kind she-wolf. "My, that's someone you could put in the role model section." she said to Shem, raising a brow.
(By the by, added some basic rules and I'm going to update my Application to bring in another character ^^ And I'd trust you both with Alpha if you were to make a character, since you guys are deadly active. Whichissogood XD)

Shem
Shem's ear flicked and he lightly rose his head, only turn and raise an eyebrow at the medic. "Pshhh. You think working myself to death could get me this fine complexion?" He smirked sarcastically, raising a paw to frame his face and bat his eyes to emphasize his 'outer self beauty.' With a chuckle, he quickly lay his head back down, huffing from his nostrils. Before getting too comfortable, he rolled onto his back and lightly wriggled a bit to use the earth as a back-scratcher to soothe a sudden itch. That done, the hunter flopped back onto his side.
[[Hehe. X3 I'll leave the alpha position up to one 'a you two.]]

((Alrighty. ^^ @Jim: Good luck on the MOTS as well, Jim! I just checked the topic and noticed you were nominated. C:

XD Guess I'll just take it up with my little baby Anbu c: And goodbye baby fluff! Sleep well :'D and of course it's accepted c: ))
(http://www.wallsonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/gray-wolf-.jpg)
Anbu
Anbu watched the fae approach him, blinking his dark eyes slowly, and soon nodded with a lopsided smirk. "How about you go out hunting, I could join you... not much is going on that I need to worry about." He said with his low chuckle, his voice nice and smooth, yet always having that serious type of appeal. Not Royal, but respected.
(http://a-z-animals.com/media/animals/images/470x370/red_wolf3.jpg)
Angelray
The medic just chuckled at the hunter, rolling her eyes. "My, I kept my perfect complextion, yet I don't lay around all day." she argued playfully, rolling her eyes. Her dull amber eyes went to her ruined seeds, sighing as she finally just laid down... thinking she at least deserved a little rest. Might be nice to relax a bit.

Changed the rank in Anbu's bio to fit to Alpha~ ))

((Thanks and you too! :3))
(http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/266/0/4/hudson_bay_wolf_204_by_wolfstory-d5fo06o.jpg)
Japthen
Japthen's ears flicked forward at Anbu's response, and her tail resumed to a slow wag. "Fine by me," she replied, dipping her head. "Should we gather more hunters as well?" she inquired, gesturing towards Shem. "He needs to stretch out his legs for once." (short)
(http://animals.timduru.org/dirlist/wolf/TimberWolf2-DrinkingWater.jpg)
Acorpeth
A soft breeze pressed past the Timber wolf as he shook out his pelt, raising his ears as he glanced around. Acorpeth nosed around the river, disappointed when there wasn't much prey, but the hare he had caught was good enough. Deciding to scout around some more, he briskly buried the hare, kicking some dirt on top of it before resuming to a trot. As his tongue lolled out of the side of his mouth, his ears still stayed alert, searching for any sound of prey. His eyes narrowed at the border between Riverside and Nightgale, but he stayed clear of it - veering into the opposite direction. The sound of the river gushing out soothed his ears, but he ignored it this time - averting his gaze over to the other side. Not a speck of prey glistened on the other side, however, Acorpeth knew that they would come out sooner or later. Waiting patiently, he stretched himself out on the grass in attempt to lower himself, watching the river as he waited for his catch.

Anbu
The Alpha just nodded with a chuckle, "Of course, don't anyone slacking about. Shem!" he called to the brute, not bothering to move. He just tilted his head for him to follow the two, starting to lead the fae out of camp and into the depths of the red forest. His white fur seems to highlight to red under the rays that shined on the red bark, green dabbling across his practically pure white fur as well. He glanced about, glancing back to the fae, and finally paused, making sure the other hunter had followed them.
(Sorry, thought I posted xD)

Shem
Shem let out an exaggerated groan and heaved himself up to his haunches. "Yeah, yeah, don't get your tail in a knot, I'm goin'..." He mumbled, flattening his ears distastefully as he shoved himself to his paws, pausing to shake out his amber pelt. Flicking his tail, he quickly trotted after the hunting party.
-
(Hi there, is there room for one more?)
-
[A'course!
-
Yes indeedy ^^))
(http://www.wallsonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/gray-wolf-.jpg)
Anbu
Anbu lead the way out more, and soon came to a stop as he entered the very depths of the forest. He glanced back to the two, and smirked. "Smell that?... I guess the deer must be making their way through the trees." he said, glancing about, and soon focused on the head of a buck, remaining silent as she glanced to Shem, nodding for him to go to a position first. He glanced to Japthen then, and just nodded again, signaling her to be the back-up for Shem. Clearly, he was giving Shem the first attack, and then Japthen.
-

[[Welcome! Bootiful wolfeh, you got there! :O]]
(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_ydc2lV7D618/TEBuhCF08lI/AAAAAAAAB0c/TmuxjU0kj6c/s1600/Mexican+wolf+compr.jpg)
Shem
Shem lazily trudged after the hunting part. He froze his pawsteps and tipped his cranium to the side as the Alpha slowed down. Perking his ears, he nodded in response to Anbu's gesture for him to go ahead. Lowering himself to a stealthy crouch, he silently crept forward, eyes locked on the whitetail buck ahead in anticipation and focus. Slowing to a halt, he kept his attack stance, ready for the signal from the alpha to make his move.
-
((Welcome^^))
(http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2012/266/0/4/hudson_bay_wolf_204_by_wolfstory-d5fo06o.jpg)
Japthen
Japthen continued forward, her tail slowly swishing out from behind her as she followed the two. She stopped abruptly when a buck came into a view, and her breathing slowed down. Her gaze drifted over to Anbu as he gave silent orders, and a quick nod of her head followed. Forcing her paws to stay put, she watched as Shem silently crept forward, his eyes focused on the buck as seemed to be waiting for the Alpha's next orders. Glancing at Anbu, Japthen pressed herself a little to the ground to be sure that if the buck noticed Shem, she would be ready to launch herself at it.
-
Accepted~))
(http://www.wallsonline.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/gray-wolf-.jpg)
Anbu
Anbu made his way to the thicket, his grey eyes focusing on the two. When the deer lowered it's guard, he nodded to Shem, flicking his tail as the signal to go. He than glanced to Japthen, as if telling her with a slow nod to be at the ready when Shem lunged at the buck.

Acorpeth
The water lapped at the bank, neatly wetting Acorpeth's paws as he remained still, resting on his haunches as he gazed at the other side. He was lost in thought and had not noticed the hunter approach him, crouching beside him. Kodlak's abrupt voice startled him, stumbling a bit as he scrambled onto his paws. "Oh, um, y-yes." Acorpeth stammered at Kodlak's question as an awkward dip of his head followed. "Is it close by?" he inquired, deciding to forget his klutziness.

Shem
Shooting a glance over his shoulder at the Alpha, Shem nodded his head quietly in response to the signal of attack. Snapping his attention forward, he took a couple strides forward before breaking into a sprint towards the bucks' backside. The buck reared and quickly began to make a run for it once noticing the wolf, but by then, he was already at its flanks. With a smirk, Shem snapped his jaws at the deer's thin legs to frighten it. Extending his strides to keep up with the sprinting buck, the brute quit his mind games on the creature and instead went for the physical approach. With a quick leap, he sprang up onto the deer's hindquarters, sinking his teeth into its muscular flesh to keep hold and weigh it down to allow the others in the hunting party to catch up and get it off its feet.

Japthen
The Hudson Bay wolf fixed her eyes on Shem, watching as she was careful not to disturb his hunting. When the buck reared and prepared itself to flee, Shem had already snapped at its flanks, before throwing himself onto the hindquarters of the prey. Sprinting after the two, Japthen pressed forward, thankful that Shem had dragged the buck down to a slow run, and she could easily catch up with it. Clamping her jaws around the deer's flank, she pressed down hard, feeling a trickle of blood enter her jaws. Deciding to allow the Alpha to make the kill, Japthen clung on, glancing at Shem for a moment, before focusing back on the buck.

Acorpeth
Acorpeth remained silent, not bothering to utter a word as he mostly listened. Meanwhile, he zoned out for a while, staring at the leaves as he trotted along. Suddenly, Kodlak muttered something, before darting off, heading after the deer. Shaking his head out of his thoughts, Acorpeth sprinted after the hunter, his tongue lolling out of the side of his mouth as he pursed it, lagging behind a little. At the sight of the large prey, Acorpeth let out a snarl, determined to bring it down with Kodlak. Besides, he did want to impress the hunter. When he was close enough, he snapped his jaws at the hindquarters of the deer in attempt to slow it down, but it pulled ahead slightly, making him stumble a little. Catching his balance, he quickly rushed after the two, a little embarrassed by his act. When he approached the hindquarters, he quickly launched himself at it, clutching fur of the deer as he hauled himself onto it, not bothering about his claws as they pierced the skin of the deer.
