Name : Zuya Age : Adult Gender : Male Mate : None Rank : Kiowa Aloha Background : All Zuya's life, he's lived in the shadows of his older brother, Reynu. Even though Zuya was clearly the smarter one of the pair, and most capable to lead a pack.. at least in his eyes, the one to take over alpha was always the older male. Over the years, Zuya watched how Reynu ran the pack, spread cheer and joy and gradually allowing the pack become weak and susceptible to being overpowered. It took little to no time for Zuya to rise in rank, eventually becoming the second highest ranking wolf, the Beta. From there, he had hoped to be the little birdy on Reynu's shoulder and offer him guidance on how the pack should be ran. However, Reynu rarely took heed to anything Zuya had to offer, often accused his younger brother's guidance as malicious and maniacal. Some time had passed and Reynu and his mate were both found slaughtered at the paws of wolves. Whether it was outsiders or planned, no one knows for sure. There were wolves who suspected that Zuya was the one who killed his brother. There were very few, but each one of them either turned up dead or missing. Zuya is now the new pack's Alpha. He plans to demolish the old teachings that his brother once taught, and vows to make a better, stronger Kiowa pack. Violence and death is welcomed in the pack that was once so loving and caring toward one another.  Personality : Zuya can be a bit on the quiet side. He isn't one for much "small talk" .. or talk at all really. He is usually all about business. As the newest alpha, he has it in his mind that no one is truly loyal to him and that they are all out to get him. Therefore, he tends to keep him guard up at all times and gets annoyed when others are too close to his personal space. He tend to be very manipulative and cunning for his pleasure and benefit. Zuya has an obsession with increasing the numbers of Kiowa. In this way, he looks for opportunities to mate outside of his actual mate, if he actually ever takes one and deems a female suitable. If a female is willing enough to throw tail at him, Zuya will most likely deliver, solely in hopes to replenish Kiowa's numbers. Unknowingly to anyone else, Zuya does this because he believes in the curse of the dark trait, the Shaded of the pack. He wants to create a small army of wolves who will give in to their darkest temptations and he wants to be their ring leader. If he can manage to gather Shaded wolves, or Shaded pups of his own, he knows he can form them into the strongest pack members. They would be loyal to him. Kiowa would never fall to weak paws ever again. Extras : Zuya sometimes purposely disregards other names within the pack. It's his way of making others work harder for him in order to gain some sort of 'respect.' Often times, he refers to pack members by their rank only. If he doesn't recognize someone at all, he's been known to viciously attack. Zuya is not one for kind formalities. He believes he deserves respect, though he may not always give it. Zuya refuses to use words like, "I'm sorry," "Thank you," and "please," as another tactic to force others to work harder for his recognition. Zuya isn't necessarily a kind wolf, but he isn't above kind gestures for an alternative motive that will be beneficial to himself. Zuya has an obsession with power and control and can become very upset if he isn't taken seriously. Played By : Kill Lucky

Name : Vitani Age : Adult Gender : Femle Mate : None. Rank : Warrior Background : Vitani was born to Reynu's first litter. With her being the oldest, there was conflict on whether or not she would be Kiowa's true alpha. All through pup-hood she could remember others favoring Jag over herself, simply because he was male and she wasn't, even though she was older. Vitani carried the grace of an alpha from a young age, despite what others had to say about it, and she worked hard to prove her worth. Eventually, it became apparently that Vitani was destined to be the next alpha after her father. Destiny seemed to have something else in store for her and her brother. Both their father and mother were murdered. It is unknown by who but some wolves have their suspicions. As a result, Vitani's uncle had taken over as alpha and remains in the position. It was supposed to be temporary until Vitani became of age, however, Zuya has made it known that he will never peacefully step down from the position. Vitani can either fight for her rightful place within the pack or accept that Zuya's line will be the new supreme alpha lineage. Under Zuya's reign, the pack has completely changed. The once caring and loving Kiowa pack has turn into something cold and evil. No one knows it yet, but Vitani plans to gather her strength in numbers and fight Zuya. She plans on taking over Kiowa pack and restoring it back to how it once was. Personality : In a pack full of vicious wolves, Vitani seems to stand out. She carries the will and wisdom of her parents and alphas before her. Her natural instinct isn't one of the darker trait, therefore she finds herself being hurt by many things. Vitani is very sensitive, though she learned to gather a tough exterior over the years. Vitani likes to consider herself as compassionate - something that newer wolves seem to lack. Despite her gentle nature, she is no wimp. If need be, she will fight to the bloody end if given no other options. Extras : Jag is her brother. Played By : Kill Lucky

Name : Ku'Jin Age : Adult Gender : Male Mate : None Rank : Tracker Background : Ku'jin was not born to any ordinary pack. In fact, he was born in a wolf sanctuary that the humans kept for show in claims to protect wolves who would never survive on their own in the wild. The "pack" he knew was dysfunctional. None of the wolves knew their real purpose in life and many of which died due to poor conditions kept by the humans in charge. One of the newer human keepers had been lackadaisical and left the latch to the wolf enclosure unlocked. Ku'jin, being a meddlesome young wolf, took that as an opportunity to get out of the enclosure and explore the wild. Ku'Jin traveled for what seemed like months. Due to his lack of knowledge of the outside world, he would often times go days or weeks with food or water. Ku'Jin hadn't quite grasped the concept of being a wild wolf. He had become very weak and skinny due to his inability to be able to hunt and fend for himself. Luckily for him, Noctis came along and they both decided to travel with one another. Noctis soon became a good friend of Ku'Jin's. Noctis taught Ku'Jin everything he needed to know in order to survive on his own. Despite being armed with the new knowledge to survive on his own, Ku'Jin opted to stick by Noctis's side until the bitter end. Together, the pair joined Kiowa back when Reynu was still the alpha. Ku'Jin liked Reynu, however, he loves Zuya and the way the new alpha is leading Kiowa now. Personality : Ku'Jin comes off quite intrusive to many wolves. He seems to be stuck in a prepubescent body and mind. Even though he is an adult, due to his early beginning, he has a small frame similar to that of a young wolf. If it wasn't for what lies between his legs, he may even be mistaken as a female. To go along with his imp-ish body, he has the voice to fit it. It is a much higher pitch than most other full grown males. It is rare that he takes anything seriously, including a fight to the death. Ku'Jin's best skills lie with tracking, however, he is quick and nimble. In a fight, he can be a pest due to his ability to slip between the jaws of his attackers, though he is far from a formidable foe. It took Ku'Jin quite some time to hone the skills he now holds but often times he is still sub-par at a lot of what he does. Ku'Jin seems to carry the "dark trait" that some wolves who were born withing the pack tend to carry. He enjoyed the sight of blood and a good show. Often times be can be found pestering others until the point of being chased away out of frustration. Extras : Noctis is an NPC hunter. Despite Ku'Jin's overall playful demeanor, he is very protective of Noctis and pups. Both Ku'Jin irises are white, however, there is a red mark on his right eye due to a popped blood vessel from a pass fight that never went away. He's also covered in various scars and some patches of fur is missing on his body from old burns some cruel humans had given him. Played By : KillxLucky

Name : Nuka Age : Elder Gender : Male Mate : None Rank : Pack Member, former Inyanga Background : Nuka had somewhat of a boring puphood, at least in his opinion. He never thought to have any adventures or go wondering too far from the densite. It wasn't until he was older, that he eventually started to explore a little more. Out on one of his exploration adventures, a falling tree branch had knocked him hard in the head, almost killed him. It was after than incident that he started to have these wild ideologies that he was the "chosen" one within Kiowa. All while he was a pup, he had heard stories or rumors of the dark train in Kiowa, and always kept it in the back of his mind. While others didn't care too much about it, Nuka always knew deep down it was true. After his tree incident, he started to dabble further into these stories and theories. While he spent majority of his life learning the ways of the inyanga and soon becoming one, he still spoke openly about the trait that was soon take over them all. Nuka spent many seasons as an inyanga, but there were various incidents that had happened to him during his time that caused him to not want to serve that role anymore. Things like pups dying from the dark trait or adult wolves having complications that he sometimes failed to treat. After each instance, Nuka grew a little more delusional. He had stopped using herbal remedies for every day practices, but instead as a way to try and find a way to subdue to dark trait to prevent deaths. After his years of the inyanga life were over, Nuka kept his status as a pack member. He uses his knowledge of herbs to soothe the minds of who he thinks is plagued by the dark trait. There had been no solid proof that any of his ideas or theories are true but he stands by them wholeheartedly. Now, he takes the time to teach pups at a young age what he knows, whenever he can, so long as there isn't another wolf getting angry with him or chasing him away from the pups. Personality : Nuka rambles a lot, mostly to himself since no one really cares to listen. He tends to think all his thoughts out loud, which is why many believe he just likes to talk to himself. In his mind, he believes he's been around long enough that he knows about the "dark trait" in the Kiowa pack. He thinks he had been reborn many times, for as long as Kiowa had been around, which is why he knows so much about the trait. (Or at least, think he knows.) He's confident in his mental state and teachings. It doesn't bother him that others don't pay attention to his teachings, but he still takes the time to try to educate others on the matter, especially pups. While it is true that he never was a fan of pups, he still makes it his duty to instill the hear of the trait into their minds at a young age. His love/hate for pups is the reason why he's never taken on a mate or attempted to mate with any fae. Nuka may come off as a loner, but it's not by nature.  He likes to take the time to gather his information, therefore, he speaks slowly, which sometimes annoys other wolves and causes them to avoid him. Extras : He knows about the dark trait that has plagued Kiowa for so long, though most younger wolves don't care for his warnings and teachings. He believes Kiowa was somehow cursed and that all death and destruction within Kiowa is because of the dark trait. Nuka has many stories, mostly of younger beings, who have died from what he believed the chaos of the dark trait. He spends most of his time in search of new herbs, and mixing old ones in an attempt to stop the dark trait, and slow his decaying mind. Played By : KillxLucky

Name : Bhaltair Age : Adult Gender : Male Mate : None Rank : Sitter Background : Bhaltair was born under the rule of Reynu, he grew up along side the siblings. His father was a warrior and his mother was a hunter, but he jokes he got he really got his grandmother's genetics. She was a sweet white wolf who was a Inyanga. She is long past, but he took after her and was a big softy. He had the body of a warrior, but preferred to be with the sitters and Inyangas. While his siblings were sparring and beating each other up for kicks and giggles to see who were stronger, he was learning from the older wolves, learning to care for pups playing with them. One might say he would be a wonderful father one day, but he has never really taken an interest in wanting to have a mate. It's not that he's interested in the males, he just hasn't found anyone and was more focused on learning how to support and care for the pack. He was there for his family when they hurt themselves, supporting them and cheering them on and giving them confidence. When he became an adult, he settled in the sitter position to watch all the pups of the pack and teach them how to become the most successful in whatever route they wished to go. Personality : He is openly sweet and caring, not really bothering what others might say. Back in the day, he never stood for bullying and would stand up for others. These days, he only really can pick up the pieces left behind from the aggressor. He hates that he has to just sit and watch other be mean and bully. He hates that Zuya encourages blood shed and fighting. But, he must. The times have changed. He learned how to fight from his siblings, they wanted to make sure that he could fend for himself and make sure he didn't get left behind as everyone became colder and angrier. While his soft exterior never really changed, he did form a defensive wall around his heart and tried not to let harsh words hurt him. If pressed to prove himself strong, he would take the challenge and never let him personally be bullied. He took pointers from warriors, which one could say to help keep pups safe if ever needed, but it was also to help keep himself safe. Extras : He's still, ultimately, a big softy and encourages everyone to do their best. Played By : SweetPotatoPie

[SweetPotatoPie]

Name : Ifrit Age : Adult Gender : Male Mate : None Rank : Warrior Background : Ifrit wasn't born in the pack, but he came to it with his parents back when the previous alpha reined. He was young then, but he remembered how the previous one ran things and prefers it, but he wouldn't dare tell a soul that. He respects Zuya, he is the alpha, but he would be lying if he said he didn't miss how things were before. He hates that he can be more inclined to be angry. With most of the pack becoming more aggressive, it taps into his aggression and he has a harder time containing it. A part of him hopes Vitani will challenge Zuya, he would stand beside her for sure as traditionally she and her younger brother are the true heir. But, he does have his doubts. He sees no sign in her doing such or even being near aggressive enough to so much as match Zuya's strength. Perhaps, though,  maybe Jag when he is old enough. Personality : Ifrit is kind and caring, but only for those he is close to. While he will protect his pack, he does have favorites that he is more inclined to show his soft side too. He definitely has a shaded part of him, but it only shows when he is fighting or hunting, pretty much only if blood spills and he's angry enough. He is aware of it, but wants to be a good boy. He isn't the type to play with the pups or play fight, he would rather spar for training purposes or relax and conserve his energy for when he is needed. Ifrit does like to take jogs around the territory to keep himself in shape and has no problem throwing around his weight. He may not be the biggest wolf, but he's a thick muscled wall of fur and he knows it. He is a bit sexist, believing that males are stronger than females which is why he doubts Zuya's niece would dethrone him as alpha. He still respects a female and female warriors, but he still believes males are ultimately stronger and more leader material.  Extras : Ifrit has no particular side between Zuya or Vitani and Jag, but if a challenge were to occur he would be swayed more towards the siblings. Until then he follows Zuya. Played By : Sweetpotatopie

Name : Slasher but goes by Slash
Age : Adult
Gender : male
Mate : N/A
Rank : Warrior
Background : Slash was born and raised in this pack, Kiowa. It was clear out of all of his siblings, he was the strongest, even at a young age. He was a bit bigger than his siblings, and always pushing them around. He was even the first one to venture out away from the den to check on things.

Growing up, he continued to practice his fighting skills and had no problem trying to show anyone who was boss. Which he had to learn a bit of the hard way, to understand not to challenge the Alpha. He had to be roughed up a bit and put in his place a few times before he understood.

Since Slash seemed to be quite strong and always ready for a fight, he was put into the warrior ranks. He had tried out hunter first, but he was always too eager to try to tackle the prey himself, and often spooked the prey before they got close enough. Since then, he has continued to train himself and always looking to better his strength. Among the warriors he often finds himself provoking the others to get into a fight so he can test his strength. To him it's nothing but sparring.

Though lately, Slash has become bothered by thoughts of the pack and questioning Zuya's leadership.


Personality : Slash is quite rash, and easily comes off as a jack ass. He often speaks exactly what is on his mind and never holds anything back. He also has a tendency to flirt with anyone in the pack and often doesn't take hints when it isn't wanted. He loves doing what he wants when he wants which often gets him into trouble. He also is very possessive of what is his.
Extras : Slash may come off like mentioned above, but he always does what he believes is best and in his own weird way he really does care about most of the pack and will always do his best to protect them.

[finalwolf]

Name : Sasha
Age : adult
Gender : female
Mate : N/A
Rank : Tracker
Background : Sasha is Slash's sister. Sasha was the youngest out of the litter. Growing up Slash had a lot of fun picking on Sasha. It was clear Slash had the muscle, however as Sasha grew up, she started to become wiser. She learned to study Slash's movements and anticipate when and how he'd attack. This trait seemed to continue on with other wolves when playing around. Sasha just needed to dodge or hold on enough until she had movements figured out. Of course this only helped and wasn't always a guarantee that she'd find a way to trump.

As she grew, Slash still wouldn't give up on his harassing. Many times, Sasha would just flop down and give Slash the win without a fight. Sasha decided she wanted to become a tracker like their father. Sasha studied under her father quite some time before picking up on things herself. Tracker she obtained about four months ago and she is focused on being the best.
Personality : Sasha can be seen as goofy and silly when she isn't doing her job. She's often one of the first to jump in and chase her tail to break up arguments or fighting. She's seen as a bit reckless because it's believed she leaps before she thinks, though that really isn't the case. At least not to her.
When she is doing her job, she's rather serious and quite quiet. When she tracks, she makes sure she is not seen or heard.

Name : Tsuki
Age : adult
Gender : female
Mate : N/A
Rank : Inyanga
Background : Tsuki was born into a different pack. There was a fire shortly after her birth, either her pack died or fled the area. She had been hidden in a hole under a tree. She was too scared, too young, to move out. An elderly human found her and took her in. There, she stayed for the next year and a half. She had learned actually a lot from this human. She had lived in a small cabin in the woods away from other humans. The human had shown Tsuki which berries to eat if she couldn't find game. She also had watched the human mix berries and certain leaves, for injuries.

When her human friend passed away, Tsuki left to seek out either other wolves or humans. She came to this pack as an outsider, but she proved to them over time she held knowledge to become a healer and was eager to continue her learning and help others. In time, she was accepted and rose in rank to be a inyanga. Since then, she has tended to those that need help, but she still continues to learn and try new things to help the pack.
Personality : Tsuki is a bit quiet, but she is quite trusting of others. This can make her come across as a bit naive. She isn't afraid to try new things, though she may not be the best at them. She is outgoing and quite kind. Always willing to help others when she is able to.
Extras : On Tsuki's left front paw/ankle, she wears a bangle that was given to her by her human friend. She is also not a fighter, but is quite agile and able to move quite swiftly.

Name : Jag
Age : Adult
Gender : Male
Mate : Unmated
Rank : Hunter
Background :  Jag was born in the same litter as his sister, Vitani, but he was last born. Growing up, there was talk that he should override the first born being the next alpha as he was male and Vitani wasn't. He hated that talk as he felt Vitani would make a great alpha and he supported his sister. Months before they lost their father, Jag had spoken out that he felt Vitani was the right choice in being an Alpha and that he would not take what was birth right to her.

When his parents where killed, he wasn't sure what to think. Not at first, anyway. Zuya had taken the position of Alpha, which Jag didn't really have a problem with. He had seen Reynu and Zuya argue about certain things, but they always got along from what he saw. He supported his uncle, for now, until Vitani came of age. One thing Jag wanted, was Zuya to be proud of him, since he no longer had a father or mother, he sought out his approval. As time went on though, he started to notice that Zuya didn't have any plans on letting Vitani take over. Which put him into uncertainty. Especially with the way the pack had been run, he no longer believed Zuya was the right fit, but he also didn't want to oppose against his Uncle.

He has told Vitani that he supports her and will fight along side her for her rightful place. Though at times, he wonders if he should take the position himself as Vitani seems more uncertain than he is. Either way, he understands Zuya cannot stay Alpha.
Personality : Jag is rather laid back when he isn't working or something isn't bothering him. If something is bothering him, he would rather see to it right away and figure it out. He has no problem showing authority if he must to get others to work better within the pack. He comes off as a strong leader, kind, and caring. Someone who works hard for his place in the pack, and also willing to help others.

Name : Relic Age : Adult Gender : Female Mate : None Rank : Tracker Background : Relic was born to Kize, she has a few siblings but they have left to pursue their own lives. Her father was a hunter, but she doesn't remember him much. Her mother once said he died in a hunting injury and left it at that. Her mom never speaks of him so she learned to just never ask. Over time she did learn that they were very close and were a great hunting pair, but any time she heard a story here and there it was usually accompanied by pain in her mother's eyes. She still missed him. She was always an adventurous pup, along with her brothers, and always gave her mom a headache as she tried to keep up with them. Relic was never content, she was always asking questions and watching the pack. She loved to spar and play with anyone who would indulge her. She grew up to be a wonderful Tracker, just like her mother before her. Sometimes she jokes that she is way better than her mother ever was, but she does know otherwise and will often ask her for tips and tricks. Personality : She's a boisterous wolf and full of personality. She's a quick wolf, and knows how to be stealthy, but doesn't mind letting her presence be known when she isn't needing to be stealthy. She's just figuring herself out and what it is to be a part of the pack and loves that she's among everyone and contributing. She may be a little judge mental on the "pack member" role and sometimes sees them as useless but she has deep respect for older wolves, especially the warriors. She sees them as all knowing and must have all sorts of secrets and generally just admires them. She's known to have little crushes here and there and is a little, well, boy crazy. She often thinks about what it will be like one day to have pups and be a mother and admires the mothers of the pack too. She can have jealous tendencies and can can be like a snippy hormonal teen at times, as she's only just become an adult. Extras : She is Kize's daughter. Played By : SweetPotatoPie

[SweetPotatoPie]

Name : Kize Age : Elder Gender : Female Mate : Deceased Rank : Pack Member Background : Kize wasn't born in the pack, but she has been there for a long while. Her parents grew old in the pack and she met the love of her life in this pack. She has pups to help the pack grow, thought her own have left to follow their own paths. She doesn't mind, after all Relic decided to stay with her. She adores her daughter, she reminded her so much of her father and loves her all the more for it, thinking that Kuruk would be proud to see how much his daughter had grown. In her golden years, Kize and her mate were quite the pair. He was a hunter and she a tracker, they worked together very well and most of their hunts were very successful. She is very warm and motherly to her daughter and is kind and gentle in nature, but much like her daughter she has quite the temper. In fact, it is more that people know to keep an eye on Relic's temper because it rivals her mother's who can turn around in a blink of an eye and rip someone a new one. Personality : These days in her elder years she is quite impatient and won't put up with much. Pretty much the only one she won't have a temper with is the higher ranking wolves, but anyone else she'll snap to respect their elders. She sees herself above certain wolves, especially when they're much younger than she. She is kind and gentle to Zuya, as with anyone of the alpha linage. And will also proceed to snap at anyone who she might think disrespects him or the siblings. Really, she kinda just enjoys barking at anyone she can. The only time she isn't grumpy, is when she's fully fed and enjoying the company of her daughter or other elders. She also likes talking about some of the hunts she's been on, or some outrageous tracking story that one might question really happened. But she never talks about her beloved mate, she misses him dearly and thinks about him often and misses him very much. Extras : She's like a batty old lady, but an endearing one and isn't that crazy. She just likes to pretend she is because she's old and wants to have fun. Played By : SweetPotatoPie

[satnis]

Name: Zander Age: Young Adult Gender: Male Mate: None Rank: Warrior Background: Zander was born into the pack. His mother and father left to another pack when Zander was coming of age, and all of his siblings besides his brother Kythe followed them. Zander and Kythe had always been close, despite their intense rivalry as they grew up, and it was natural for them to stick together. Both brothers were intent on their goal on becoming the packs strongest warrior, and spend much of their youth 'training' and sparring to see who was strongest. As they aged, Zander became the more adept of the two, growing to be the stronger and larger wolf. One morning, during one of their usual sparring sessions, Zander exerted too much strength and Kythe went tumbling into a ditch. Kythe hurt his hind leg, and since then is slightly lame. Zander continued in his goals towards becoming a strong warrior without Kythe, although they remained close. Personality: Hot headed, to the point of being explosive and headstrong. Zander's dreams of grandiosity sometimes overwhelm him, and he tries (occasionally in vain) to hold onto reality and remember to be aware and empathetic to those around him. He's a very large, powerful wolf, and can resort to intimidation to get his way. He is fiercely loyal and protective of his own, and when given a job is responsible and dutiful. When calm, he is polite and serious--Zander isn't one for small talk. Although he is interested in having a mate, he feels it's a distraction and is therefore cautious around females. He holds quiet ambitions to become Alpha, either of this pack or of perhaps of branching off and creating his own. Extras: Zander is Kythe's brother. Played By: Satnis Name: Kythe Age: Young Adult Gender: Male Mate: None Rank: Pack Member Background: Kythe has always felt second best. Since he was small, he engaged in losing battles with his brother Zander as they sparred and tested who was strongest. However, this never discouraged Kythe, and he pushed on to be his best. After being pushed into a ditch by Zander, he broke one of his hind legs, and since then has had a slight limp. His dreams of being a strong warrior evaporated, and now he struggles to find a sense of purpose. After his accident, he spent most of his time either hanging around with other members of the pack, or taking walks around the forest, and finds comfort in the company of others. Personality: Kythe is lighthearted and can put a positive spin on any situation. His energy and warmth is contagious, and consequently, he is generally well liked. He prefers to spend most of his time in the company of others, and becomes restless when alone. Kythe is always knee deep in whatever gossip is going around the pack, and enjoys spreading it and watching whatever calamity ensues. He has an abundance of energy and is spritely from the time he wakes up until late into the night. All of this energy sometimes gets put to bad use, and he has been known to stir up trouble. His streak of immaturity can be annoying at best, and dangerous at worst, as his devil-may-care attitude can put him in dangerous situations. He’s a flirt, but the seriousness of having pups and being saddled with responsibility is off putting to him. Extras: Kythe is Zander’s brother. Played By: Satnis

[Loremaster Kenchi]

Name : Mute
Age : Young Adult
Gender : Male
Mate : None
Rank : Inyanga
Background : Mute is a foreign wolf from outside of Kiowa Territory who has just graduated from being an outsider of the pack by the time of Renyu's passing. Rumoring to hail from the far northeast, his pelt still carries reminiscent aromas of dark pine and subarctic brisk lichen. Unbeknownst to any living soul but himself, as a pup, Mute was banished from his home territory as an ongoing purge of any wolf carrying the "dark trait" was taking place. Duty bound, but merciful, his parents dismissed him themselves rather than end his life with hopes he would survive and find a way to live. However, what are the chances any infantile animal can survive on it's own in a part of the world where it snows nearly every month? Where nearly two thirds of the year can go by without anymore than half a day of sunlight? Unable to cry out in his woe, Mute had all but lost hope within his first day of exile. That was until a peculiar set of parents happened along his petite shivering frame...these animals would be unlike anything he had ever seen, yet in their own way whether intentional or not, they would ensure his survival during their migration. They showed him how to hunt, make shelter when dens were not available via burrowing, administer self-control when it came to the desire to succumb to violence, and even to recognize invaluable herbs and other valuable plants. Communication was present even if he never could understand what they were saying, and it was not like he could ever ask them. Eventually, Mute's life embraced the cusp of young adulthood, and it was here he felt he could begin his new life on his own. He wanted to try his own mettle against making his own way in the world. There was no desire to return home, because "home" was wherever one's heart resided. The idea of a pack was foreign to him, as he was foreign to the new region his adoptive parents had migrated to. Even despite being unable to say goodbye, his adoptive parents seemed to understand, at least to his level of understanding. So could you imagine Renyu's reaction whilst leading a hunting party to find this dwarfish brute treating a wounded bear with a tooth chewn poultice? Needless to say, the scene was just as outrageous as Renyu's jovial invitation to become a member of his pack. What kind of canine hollowed himself to the treatment of primal animals? Mute would, as he would look into the hearts, actions, and soul torn stories of every other pack member from afar during his graduation from outcast to inyanga.

Personality : As his name suggests, he is authentically mute and is unable to yip,growl,speak, howl, or utilize his voice box. This leads to interesting means of communication and interaction with others; more so because wherever he grew up before Kiowa, he was not properly socialized. He exhibits behavior not often associated with wolves, leading to speculation that he may have been raised by something other than wolves for a substantial period of time. His stature is dwarfish and petite by every stretch of the word. He is quite small compared to all the other adults of the pack, but average for whatever breed of wolf he represents. Behavior wise, he's affectionate and awkward, unsocial and enigmatic. His most common past time is just staring at other wolves from a respectable distance, often out of earshot. His pensive warm stare and coy ginger smile encourage much speculation to why he spends so much time "staring into the pack" instead of out or around their borders. Like he's staring through you and into your soul. His affectionate features come into play when others choose to interact with him in private even to those bearing the dark trait, usually one on one. Too many too close just seems to force him to bow out with an adieu and he's furtively dismissing himself. In fact, so much staring at his fellow pack mates with so little interaction have apprised him the nickname "Mute the Ghost" or "Spook."

Extras : Mute exhibits behaviors reminiscent of other forest dwelling animals at times, choosing to burrow instead of inhabiting a den for example, leading to a sort of growing bet of who or what his adoptive parents could have been. As previously mentioned, ever since Mute's discovery of his own curse bearing the "dark trait" he often disciplines himself in solitary settings with the desire to overcome it's vices.

Name : Jadene Age : Young Adult Gender : Female Mate : n/a Rank : Hunter (aspiring Racija) Background : Born close to the end of Renyu's reign, Jadene was too young to remember much of the previous leader. She vaguely remembers him at best, and growing up learned more of Zuya's teachings, role, and his leadership. She flourished under it. She wanted to be the best of her siblings, the fastest, the most nimble, the strongest. Not to say she doesn't care for them, but oh, as she grew she prided herself on being better. From there, she watched the trackers for a long while, wanting to grow to be like them, but her dreams changed. They rarely got to hunt, they only followed, and who wanted to be the leading follower of followers? It sounded terrible, in her opinion, so moved her interests to hunting. Strategy, ferocity, the adrenaline that pumped her heart in her ears, oh that's what she lived for. What was better than bringing home dinner, knowing you made the kill? She aspires to be in charge of the hunt, and after that, who knows? Racija is just halfway up the ladder. Personality : Prideful, vain, yet coated in a soft and warm personality, Jadene likes to be well-liked and thought of as a good wolf. It feels like some sort of justification for her guilty pleasure. While hunting is a necessity, it feels like a sport, and in her heart, she treats it as one. It sustains the pack that's true, but oh, to bring in the kill feels like a trophy. She enjoys talking to the pack, teasing and spending time with them, and she's not above helping pack members with whatever they need help with, but she's also likely to disguise a demand as a polite request, because they have no official role, so they have the time to do other things. Despite all of this, she hardly mentions things about herself that don't include her role as a hunter. She just doesn't seem to share a lot about herself, and if she does, it's the bare minimum, leaving others questioning the validity of her statement. Extras : Thanks to Zuya's rule, she is very quick about showing any anger and aggression, not at all shameful or shy about it. Played By : Cascarones

Name : Lavi Age : Adult Gender : Female Mate : N/A Rank : Outsider Background :  Far beyond the western territories of Kiowa, there lies a mire known as the Bojuka Bog; an intricate series of marshland and swamps. The region is regarded inhospitable by most animals because most creatures that live there are venomous or rife with virulent plagues and diseases. And yet there was once a pack of wolves that called this mire "home." During Renyu's reign in Kiowa, they were known as the Myr. However, there is not much else to say than that. The Myr always kept to themselves, and never once ventured into Kiowa territory. Stories say Renyu once attempted to make contact and establish relations, yet he never gained an audience. However, another tale amongst the older members of Kiowa states there were once a band of outcasts chased into the Bojuka Bog by Kiowa's warriors. And they were never seen again that day. But, upon the following morning, the warriors of Kiowa returned to investigate. And they found the bodies of the outcasts neatly presented just outside Myr territory. They had all been drowned. That is the brief history of the Myr of Bojuka Bog. This was the land and pack Lavi once called home. However, this lone adult has come out of the bog, the first to be seen of the Myr for many years. What story could she be leaving behind in that hellish landscape? And could she be bringing the same hell of desiccation to Kiowa? To be told truly: she is the sole survivor of the Myr, a dead alpha's daughter, and she carries the same burning ambition to recreate the same fate for Kiowa. Personality : Charismatic, zealous, dangerously intelligent, and reverently collected. A priestess and sociopath rolled up into a sinister scoop of dark chocolate ice cream. Lavi's creed is a dark sense of religion; a belief system desperate for worship in death. All shall admonish her in their despair. And they will do so longingly and willingly. However, when such examples of personality are on display, it is already too late. Indeed, Lavi's charisma stems from her genius to craft an alluring mask of reverence and security. She learned well from the hooded snakes and orb weaver spiders of her home. She is a cultist with a deadly religion that infects her surroundings. And she would love nothing more than to add another mass suicide to her personal history. A demon in wolves' clothing. Extras : Fun fact: Lavi's silver eyes can dilate while her iris' constrict; giving them the same visual characteristics of a pit viper. Her fur coat lightly smells of nightshade and often precedes her wherever she goes. Lavi believes that the soul of every sentient creature she kills becomes imprisoned within her own and is doomed to worship her into eternity. Lavi carries the Dark Trait.

Name : Aspen
Age : Adult
Gender : Female
Mate : None
Rank : Warrior
Background : Second born to Reynu's litter, she took more of the appearance of her mother. As a pup, however, she had begun to show signs of the dreaded bloodlust her bloodline carried. Fortunately, that was quickly corrected and she went on to live a normal puphood. She grew with confidence, intelligence, strength, and beauty. She took interest in the Warrior ranks when she was young and began her training the moment she was able to. So far, everything in her life had ran smoothly, up until wolves with the thirst for blood rose, but were quickly chased away by her father. Unfortunately, one night, both her parents were found dead, mauled by other wolves. Upon hearing these news, Aspen went to see for herself. Being young, it was not something her age should've seen, but the moment her eyes laid upon their mauled corpses, something within her ticked, as if awakening. The scent of coppery blood filled her nostrils as her gaze turned from one of horror to one that was disturbingly calm and emotionless.

After that day, Aspen was not necessarily the same. It was something she herself knew, felt, and nearly feared. To others, she was still the same 'ol Aspen. The moment Kiowa went under Kuya's rule, everything changed. The bloodlust overpowered many, and those who showed weakness were 'taken care of'. Whereas many showed their dislike of how the pack was now in secret, some did it openly but had the strength to keep themselves alive as they were 'useful' to Kuya. Aspen however, she merely observed, with that same. expressionless. face. The look on her face had every now and then caused her uncle to question her loyalty to not only the pack, but to the 'family'. Whether he feared what crawled through her mind or maybe he was trying to bring out the bloodlust she had shown as such a young age, it was unclear. Aspen herself doesn't know what goes on in her head when she's alone to her thoughts, and it frightens her in a way. Something was prodding in the back of her head, as if unraveling itself. She's held it back for so long, but it'll be a matter of time before it breaks free.

However, long before the death of their Alphess, Aspen was tasked by Zuya to seek a new territory with the help of a Tracker. Off she went with her partner in tow, not to be seen for many, many moons. During her journey, she and the Tracker were able to find a larger, better den that could accommodate the pack and more, with enough space to maybe ease those who prefer to be on their own and away from the rest. Before her return, the Tracker had...expired, leaving her to try and find her way back to the pack on her own. She trekked through thick forests, using whatever minimal tracking skills she learned from the one who accompanied her, returning back to Kiowa. But not without a reminder, from that of which resides within, a large scar that runs from between her shoulder blades to her shoulder and down her leg. From an encounter she would not soon forget.
Personality : Aspen is a blunt fae, she will speak her mind without giving too much care about one's feelings. At times, she can be unpredictable and is not afraid to sink her fangs into the flesh of some disrespectful mutt. That action has unnerved many and causes them to think before they speak. Although unpredictable, she is mostly reasonable and understanding, using logic to figure things out and their purpose should it be beneficial for the pack. Aside from such, once you know her, she's a rather friendly fae, with loyalty that can outlast her life, should one play their cards right. She's not about to lay her life down for just anyone. However, as the story progresses forward, her personality will be bound to change.
Extras : Pelt as ivory as the purest of snow, eyes as blue as a clear sky are not the only thing that make her stand out. Although a Warrior, her howl is as beautiful and mesmerizing as her looks. And don't be fooled, she's no princess, as keeping her pelt pristine is not one of her priorities. One of the things that she discovered about herself, was her high pain tolerance, often not knowing how severe something is unless she falls ill. Pain does not phase her in the slightest, but one is more than welcomed to try and get a scream out of her.

Name : Juno
Age : Adult
Gender : Female
Mate : None
Rank : Hunter
Background : Juno was accepted into the pack at a young age. She was born to loner wolves who simply didn't care enough about her to be bothered with teaching her and loving her. She ventured off on her own one night and after wandering for who knows how long, she stumbled upon Kiowa pack where she found a home, a community, a place to belong. She joined just before the change of leadership. While on her own, she learned to fend for herself. Through trial and error, she became a skillful hunter and while she's wasn't the most graceful fighter, she could scrap with the best of them. She learned independence and to trust no one but yourself. Living as a one wolf pack also taught her vigilance. Juno is always painfully aware of her surroundings and can notice even the tiniest of details. She now lives as a Hunter in Kiowa pack, using her skills to help her family. She mostly keeps to herself, but will spring into action when needed.
Personality : Juno is a hard wolf to know, but an easy one to love. She is a realist and is very blunt. She'll tell you how it is. She keeps to herself, mostly found on the outskirts of wherever the pack is currently idling. She is mature beyond her years and doesn't find pleasure in silly, trivial things unless broken down to a point where her steely facade falls away. Her emotions are wild and she is very passionate about anything she feels. If she is angry, her vengeance and determination will push her past her character, and will eat into who she is. She does not easily forget how others treat her and will hold a grudge for a significant amount of time. If you happen to weasel your way into Juno's heart, you will find an unwavering friend and a strong ally. She will support you in your endeavors and can be counted on whatever the occasion. Juno struggles with her morality quite a bit. She would describe herself as neutral in the scheme of things but it gets complicated. She does what she needs to do to survive, even if that means hurting others...but that doesn't quite make you evil, does it?
Extras : She is small in stature but can carry her own weight. She's strong and reliable. Her lonely upbringing causes her to be distrusting, yet her biggest fear is being alone.

[Loremaster Kenchi]

Name : Machamoti-Chi Age : Adult Gender : Male Mate : N/A Rank : Warrior Background :  Kiowa's own sentinel of the mountain was born and raised within the pack under great promise. His parents and lineage both were always in great standing within the territory. They could not have been prouder of the newest addition to the Chi family. Miraculously born as the lone living pup in a litter of still born brothers and sisters, Machamoti hailed from a tradition of prodigious warriors. And like his parents before him he was fated to walk the path of prodigy. Ceremoniously buried while their bodies were still warm, his siblings would watch on as their eldest brother bore the burden their family expected him to carry. The Chi clan were not anything f not strict; Machamoti's upbringing was dictated to the very extent of a warrior's expectations liken to the definition "prodigy." His training was overseen by Kiowa's finest veterans, his sleep schedule and diet were carefully dictated, and his free time was severely restrained. He was an athlete who adhered to all his family's pride expected of him. He was a prodigy and a naturally gifted fighter. And it was this harsh upbringing of regulation that, over time, left his big heart feeling so cold...and alone. When a lifetime was spent clawing for the top, little room was left for friends or romance. Therefore, upon command, he continued to beat his head against the wall till it was fated to topple. Only...it never did... His family soon passed on due to old age; one after the other. And upon reaching the prime of his adulthood, Machamoti was free. The sun kissed his cold heart. And he soon discovered new would-be friends surrounded him in the territory he had never really bothered to call home. Warmer wolves. All to guide him that the wall never needed to come down; he was free to simply go around it. He did. Machamoti-Chi never looked back. Instead, he learned to bask in the sun and value the taste of sugarcane. He grew to appreciate long naps. And, most of all, he learned what it meant to share burdens. Thus, upon adulthood, his life begins anew in Kiowa. Personality : What was once an empty wolf is now a brave heart filled to the brim with confidence and sunshine. Any sitter or pup around can tell of interactions with Kiowa's gentle giant. "The Sunhome Sentinel" as he is affectionately called. And this large mountain of a canine is wholly devoted to the idea of being a heroic protector; even if he is a wolf of grandiose whimsy. However, his upbringing has taken a toll on his mind. By so severely trying to overcompensate for his prior alienation and strict upbrining; Machamoti-Chi has grown to be very short-sighted and narrow minded. Wanting to be so direly accepted and loved by his neighbors; he is often too trusting and easily manipulated. He often fails to grasp sarcasm and rarely ventures beyond simple solutions when a more advanced/complicated strategy would be more useful. Therefore, like a zealous crusader with his heart openly displayed on his shoulders, he often forsakes logic for feeling and emotion. What's worse is that he is only semi-aware of his own shortcomings: resulting in him occasionally second-guessing himself. Extras : Wild sugarcane is Macha's favorite snack! And he will often make private ventures to snag a few stalks to chew on when the occasional craving hits him. Also, he enjoys belly rubs much more than he would care to believe or share. His paws are ticklish. And all of creation have mercy if he ever spots something round and bouncy...for some reason, despite all his willpower, he just can't resist trying to fetch it as if hoping it will also squeak.
