Turaia - a beautiful land filled with many creatures big and small. Among them, five packs live a blissful life, thriving on the bountiful plains and rocky mountains.
But paradise never lasts. Grassy plains turned to ice and snow, and food became scarcer with each passing day. The once clear, inviting waters turned to vicious cold, and the sun's rays have been absent for a year. The packs grow hungry, and what was once a peaceful alliance has turned into a tension akin to the eye of a stormy war.
Strange happenings are afoot, and death always lurks around every tree.
Hey guys! Attsos here.
So recently I've been developing a roleplay idea, complete with its own map pack (being made by yours truly) as well as a site.
The plotline I have for it in my head is very well-developed - it just hasn't been written down yet. I've been working on a site and map, though if I could get a map made for it so I could work on everything else, that would be better I think. Either way, I'm searching for a few people to help me make it happen.
I'm not active enough to be a leader for a pack, so I would just be a lone type of character that helps drives plot forward whenever I'm roleplaying, as well as helping manage the site etc. since I'm often around online, but not always able to be in-game.
The details of the roleplay are as follows:
- Geared towards somewhat advanced to very advanced roleplayers, but paragraphs upon paragraphs are not necessary. Provided someone puts in plenty of effort in their roleplaying, I would let off grammar mistakes and spelling - medium-level roleplayers would be welcome based on that notion.
- Primarily a wolf roleplay with five packs, which is why I'm searching for leaders. All leaders would be entirely responsible for their pack's wellbeing and I would not interfere with how they run it unless I have to.
- The realism of the plot is pretty much fantasy (should you apply to be a pack leader I would explain this to any of you being considered), but characters in the five packs would be realistic.
- Ranks in the packs would be mostly decided, but should you wish to change any or add any you would be able to request as such.
As for the packs themselves, here's a bit of information about each of them.
- Achuak: The beach folk. They are fantastic swimmers and generally a bit clumsy out of the water. Since the sun disappeared and the water turned to ice, they have grown extremely thick coats and have evolved to have large, slightly webbed paws. They survive on sea creatures, primarily fish that have grown accustomed to the icy waters.
- Charir: The cave-dwellers. They are tough, resilient canines with long claws for quick digging. Their claws have evolved to be strong enough to scratch at the ice covering the ground, and their ears are usually very large in order to hear small animals hiding underground better.
- Ulhar: The mountain folk. Extremely sure-footed and calm individuals, their legs are short and strong, living comfortably at perilous heights. Their pawpads are as tough as the rocks they live on.
- Yrev: The plains tribe. These canines are the lightest on their feet of all, and can run over snow as fast as the wind that sweeps it. They are particularly in-tune to the weather and can sense a storm coming from miles away. They burrow into the snow at night unless there is a storm, in which case they seek shelter in the small, unclaimed caves dotted around Turaia.
- Aussir: The nomads. This pack has no one set home, and instead has a cycle of dens they move around every week. They consist of the smallest wolves of all the five packs, but are also the wisest. They keep in regular contact with one of the few (dubiously) accepted lone wolves in the land, a wise wolf who claims to be an oracle.
- Vutha: This is a legendary pack in Turaia's history. Every pack tells their pups the story of the Vutha - a pack so strong, they were said to have powers beyond what any canine can imagine in the present age. The Vutha are a dead breed of canine... Or are they? (Currently only for plot purposes, the Vutha are not open for character applications)
Each pack will have its own territory (including Aussir) and their names are subject to change if a leader should desire it. Think of each pack as a people, rather than a pack. You're free to add your own rules to your pack as you see fit, but there will be set ranks and rules for each one otherwise. Everything is subject to change - if you want to change a rank's name or add a new one, you're free to.
All the packs will have more or less the same hierarchy, but not necessarily the same ranks. I will try to individualise each tribe. Leaders will be free to write up information for me to put on the site, or request something be changed. Other than what I've stated, it will absolutely be yours to care for. If you're not very active, I will find someone to replace you.
If you're interested in becoming a leader for it, there is a form below that you can use to apply for a position.
Name: Your character's name.
Gender: Males are more common than females.
Age: Wolves in Turaia tend to have a very short lifespan. 8 is considered extremely old, and 1 is considered old enough to no longer be dependant.
Appearance: A link to a screenshot/reference sheet is more than enough here, but if you'd rather put a description then that is also fine. Please make sure it's detailed if you do go for a description!
Personality: Doesn't need to be super detailed.
Likes:
Dislikes:
Fears:
Biography: This also doesn't need to be super detailed. Just points of interest in your character's history is fine.
Which Pack: The pack you would like to apply to be a leader for.
Roleplay Sample: Be honest! There's no point writing paragraphs upon paragraphs if that's not what you roleplay like all the time.
Simply fill it out and put it in a comment below. Don't note me it, a comment will suffice! :) I'll let you know if you have been accepted. Note that I may not decide straight away, as I would like to give everyone a fair chance.
This journal has been posted on my deviantART as well. You can view the journal here (http://attsos.deviantart.com/journal/Turaia-FeralHeart-Roleplay-Proposition-449331550).
All leaders have been chosen! Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances, the Chirar leader has had to decline the leadership offer. If anybody would still like to become a leader, the Chirar will be open for applications for a little while longer. Thank you for your time!
Updated
Name: Orion
Gender: Female
Age: 3-4
Appearance:
(https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSD9aWw95YH0Va3tpmrYmjqJScDj22PZkclvQbtVpIKaduDoRCCqw)
Personality: (Summary) Fierce, Protective, Masculine, No-nonsense, Blunt. Easily mistaken for a male, her voice even carries the deep vocals of a brute. She will not tolerate threats or insults.
Likes: Meat, sparring, smooth rocks.
Dislikes: Berries, water.
Fears: Anything extremely bright.
Biography: Born and raised in the pack, the fae had always bared the stature and traits of a brute, resulting in her parents mistakenly giving her a male name. Easily the largest of her littermates, she quickly became the one in charge, looking out for and protecting her siblings. At the age of 2, the former Alpha perished from the harsh environment, and Orion was chosen to fill the rank.
Which Pack: Charir
Roleplay Sample: The steady dripping of water onto stone sounded in the small cave, the noise like a lullaby to the large fae. She lay sprawled out on the cold, smooth stone in her den, muscles relaxed except for the slow rise and fall of her chest. The day had been a long one, consisting mostly of hunting and digging, the dirt under her claws evidence of it all. A cold drop of water landed squarely on Orion's large black nose, causing a twitch of her ears as golden eyes opened. An irritated snort flicked off any of the extra moisture, and the wolf sat up, stretching in an attempt to wake her limbs.
(I could go longer, but I estimated the size of the chat-box. I usually go a little past it or use two full ones, depending on the situation being Role-played)
