Wolf Sanctuary[EX]

[undisclosedtoyou]

Wolf Sanctuary
[EX]

Yellow stone had at one point in time been abundant in all forms of wild life.  Unfortunately over time, as more and more men encroached on their area, the number of wolves dwindled down to nothing.  In hopes of a successful reintroduction of the species in that area, wolves from many parts of the country have been shipped in and set loose, with carefully placed trackers attached to their bodies of course.  It is hoped that these wolves would mate and successfully repopulate the lush forest. 

I'm propositioning a fun little game where each player would play one of these wolves; starting from a few weeks after being set free.  The game would focus on these wolves, how they come across each other, where they set up to dwell, when they breed and birth litters, etc.  In the future, once the pack is established and flourishing,  humans will come in to study them, but that won't be for a while.  And I have to warn perspective players that bestiality will be allowed once the humans come into the picture, so if your too squeaked by that idea, than this game just might not be for you.

I'm looking, specifically for six characters, the:

Alpha Male: Balek
Alpha Female: Laren
Beta Male: Hasel
Male Subordinate: Open
Female Subordinate: Kota
Omega: Isi

The list above is in descending order, from highest ranking to lowest ranking at the bottom; and all the wolves in this pack will be gray wolves.  Heres a quick, yet useful link on wolf behavior and social order.  Technically I'm not going to be as 'authentic' when it comes to actual wolf facts; for example, in a real pack only the alpha male and female breed, but in this game all will be able to, although competition can be prolific.  And even though the Alpha male in the wild is more likely to mate with with the Alpha female, I'm not going to keep to this, anyone may mate with anyone they like, hell with multiple partners if they like.  And I know mates are usually pairs, but for the hell of it I'm allowing poly mates here as well.  Wolves may be gay, bi, pansexual it doesn't matter to me, but this game is about them breeding so there has to be at least one breeding pair. 

I want this game to be more fun than serious, but there will be a two paragraph minimum, and post's do have to be understandable, but other than that I'm open to accepting anyone.  Once the roles are filled though that's it, and new players will only be accepted if a taken role becomes free, pups grow old enough to become PC's in their own right, and when humans are introduced; but that last one wont be for a while so I'm not looking for volunteers for those yet.

Bestiality isn't supposed to be allowed, because of its legality in certain states.

But I'd love to be a female beta. This seems like a fun RP.

[schnookums]

Er, unless there's been a significant rules change on here recently, bestiality play has been allowed for as long as I've been a member.

[Odin]

@Shadow. I Would seriously suggest going and reading the rules before posting something like that. It proves you didn't bother when you registered.

I Would be interested in playing the Alpha male, please.

[PeacethatPowerbrings]

I'd definately be up for playing the Alpha Female.

[Shadow879]

@Shadow. I Would seriously suggest going and reading the rules before posting something like that. It proves you didn't bother when you registered.

I did, in fact, read the rules when I registered, thank you. My memory is shitty, so all I remembered is something about bestiality being bad. Videos and photos of bestiality are not allowed. I had remembered it wrong.

So my apologies.

Either way, still would love to be the beta female.

[undisclosedtoyou]

LoL, yeah bestiality play is permitted in the Extreme section.  But Shadow, I wouldn't feel too bad about making that mistake, it took me reading the description of the Ex boards, and asking around to figure out if it was allowed.  And since I didn't even peek into the Ex boards for at least a few months after I joined, I basically thought no bestiality was a rule for a while to, thank god it's not cause well...it's fun to write.

Alright, so it looks like we have people wanting to fill these positions:

Alpha Male: Odin
Alpha Female: PeacethatPowerbrings
Female Beta: Shadow879
Omega: Undisclosedtoyou

Which leaves two spots open for two Male Beta's, or even one male beta and one male wolf.  I'll be creating a character thread today than, since we have most roles filled.

[undisclosedtoyou]

The character thread is open as of now, so feel free to make your way over there, to post your charries.  You can find a link to the thread in the first post of this thread, under game links, or you can click here.

Quick question. Given that Canis Lupus is a species, which subspecies will we be using?

[Gideon]

I'm willing to be a beta male.

[undisclosedtoyou]

Quick question. Given that Canis Lupus is a species, which subspecies will we be using?

Oooh good question!  I'm providing a wiki link that list's all the different subspecies of Canis Lupus,  In that list, only the ones that dwell in North America will be allowed.  So in the range section, any subspecies that dwell from the border of the U.S/Mexico border to the wilds of Canada are safe to use.  Hope that helps :)

I'm willing to be a beta male.

And I'll be happy to have you in my little game :)



On another note, I'm happy to say that we have two characters up, yay. 

[Gideon]

w00t lol I'll try to have my character up by tomorrow

[PeacethatPowerbrings]

It does help, though I picked a sort of large arctic wolf on the assumption that we'd just use all the so-called wolves, as acceptable subspecies. It is a funny thing, the modern taxonomy, especially when it does things like putting domestic dogs as a subspecies of grey wolf.

[undisclosedtoyou]

w00t lol I'll try to have my character up by tomorrow

I went and read some of your post's, btw I was sooo thinking about joining that zombie game lol.  But my question was, this game has a two good sized paragraph minimum when it comes to post's, are you comfortable with that length?

Lol, for the hell of it it's okay if you use an arctic wolf, it's the ones from Mexico, Europe, Asia and Australia that I wasn't accepting.  And omg, I know; I guess to some it could make sense since some breeds of domestic dogs hail from wolf ancestry, and they can still breed domestic dog/wolf hybrids.  It's still funny though.

[PeacethatPowerbrings]

It makes sense, its just interesting, when all dingos and all dog breeds are also subspecies of wolf, instead of species in and of themselves, as they're usually referred to by most people.

[Black Orchid]

I'm not sure if I want to take on the responsibility of a beta wolf, but count me as interested.

[undisclosedtoyou]

Too true!  It makes me wonder, just how closely related domestic dogs, and dingos are to wolves.  BTW I loved your wolf, very fun to read :)

I'm not sure if I want to take on the responsibility of a beta wolf, but count me as interested.

If you would prefer, I can make the last wolf spot a regular male wolf instead of a beta.

[Black Orchid]

Hmm... no, actually I'll do it, it'll be interesting.

[undisclosedtoyou]

Hmm... no, actually I'll do it, it'll be interesting.

Your comfortable playing a male?  I'm just making sure that you saw the last spot open was for a male character.  I have nothing whatsoever with one gender playing another, just throwing that out there lol.

[Gideon]

Lol I want to join this to try it because I've found myself easily doing paragraphs when nessecary so I figured two paragraphs would be an easy way to get into this type of rp.

[Black Orchid]

No, I'm fine! I didn't realize it until later, but I actually have more thought on a character now. So, it's good  :-)

Edit: I also wanted to ask, about the species, I'll keep the trait North American, but can I be a little creative (i.e. longer fur, slight slimmer built?)

[undisclosedtoyou]

Sweet, than I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun with us :)  And oh!  I fully promote the 'more than two paragraphs' mentality, so if you want to write more, than feel more than free to do so lol.

lol awesome!  Than I will make that last spot reserved until your character profile is up.  Which makes this game, tentatively filled for now!  Yay!!!

Of course you can be creative on how your wolf looks.  All I ask is that it's nothing too out there.  My rule of thumb is, if it's not seen in the wild than it's not accepted.  That being said, all the averages I put up in the character thread, are just averages, so feel free to go lower or higher than that.

[Black Orchid]

Understood then  :-). Okay, I'll need a little help with age, I'm not sure what age to put in wolf form, I don't want an old wolf, maybe a little below middle age, but not a pubescent child, kind of like twenties-thirties; so what would the age be?

[PeacethatPowerbrings]

2-3. Wolves can be considered equivalent to a large-breed of dog in the age ranges, though wild wolves only live to about 50 in human terms. So, 2-3 is twenties to early thirties.

[Gideon]

I might not exactly do that in the beginning but I will starting adding more to each post lol.

[Black Orchid]

Okay then, thank you!

Yup yup, thanks for answering Peace.

Whatever your comfortable with :)

[Shadow879]

I would like my wolf, Kota, to be friends with yours, Isi, regardless of the pack structure. Discuss?

[undisclosedtoyou]

I would like my wolf, Kota, to be friends with yours, Isi, regardless of the pack structure. Discuss?

Of course, they can be friends.  But keep in mind that her role in the pack is to allow the rest of the pack to vent feelings, sorta like the glue that holds them together.  If frustrations in a wolves pack aren't vented, than needless and constant fights for dominance over higher ranking wolves would be incessant, and in effect weaken and break down a pack.  So if Kota ever feels frustration, she can rough house with Isi, like children who mock wrestle do lol.  but that being said, I in no way would be averse to them being friends.  Although since they will just be coming across each other, and forming a pack, she might be a bit ill at ease with Kota at first; eventually she'll warm up to her though :)

[Shadow879]

Ok, awesome :)

[undisclosedtoyou]

Hey everyone, just thought I'd put this up here since I know it can be a bit tricky at first.

The code to make a word(s) a link is:

Code Select Expand

[url=link here]your word[/url]

An example of this is:

Gideons Wolf

Ok, awesome :)

:D

[Gideon]

I can't change the appearence because I'm a ning sorry Undisclosed

[undisclosedtoyou]

I can't change the appearence because I'm a ning sorry Undisclosed

Bleh, I keep forgetting that lmao.  You can post your changed profile up again though, instead of editing it since you can't.

[Shadow879]

What's an NING?

[Gideon]

We are an elite mod...... errrrrr nevermind we're halfway approved members yeah that's the official story, yeah we're halfway approved memebers who can do anything except edit.

[Shadow879]

Ah, ok.

[undisclosedtoyou]

Lol you beat me to answering!

[Black Orchid]

Maybe if you delete it, and write it again? I don't know, if it really matters, delete it. I'm sure no one minds if you do  :-).

[undisclosedtoyou]

Maybe if you delete it, and write it again? I don't know, if it really matters, delete it. I'm sure no one minds if you do  :-).

Actually that might be a good idea.  Once you've posted your edited character profile, delete the last one, that way it keeps the thread looking clean.

Loved your wolf Black! We have almost all the characters up, I'll be throwing out an OOC thread soon.

[Black Orchid]

Thank you, I always love making the odd ball of the RP ;)

[Gideon]

Well I added an updated character sheet I don't know if I can delte the old one though. Damn you Ning status!

[undisclosedtoyou]

Thank you, I always love making the odd ball of the RP ;)

And I will admit to thinking "odd ball," well not in those words exactly, when reading your wolf's profile lol.  Although I'm thinking there are a few oddities in this little pack that's forming, lol; Which I'm delighting in btw.

Well I added an updated character sheet I don't know if I can delte the old one though. Damn you Ning status!

I read it!  And loved it, your wolf's name has been added to cast of characters :)  Go to where your first post in that thread was, and check the top right hand of that post.  It's here that you'll see you're quote button, if you're able to delete the post the "Delete" option should be right next to your Quote button.



And we only need one last character profile to go up and we have a full cast!  Yay!!!  The OOC thread is also up, and can be found in the first post of this thread under Game Links, or you can click here.

[Gideon]

Yup can't delete it lol

[undisclosedtoyou]

Yup can't delete it lol

Lol, than it's fine, no worries :)

I'm really excited, we just need our Alpha's character, and we can start.

[Gideon]

Yay! lol

[undisclosedtoyou]

I'm a lil bit surprised at how fast this game filled up, but a good surprised lol.

[Gideon]

I know right? lol it filled up in less then 24 hours that has to be a record.

[undisclosedtoyou]

Well I don't know about a record, but it was speedy as all hell.

Okay moving all conversations to OOC, and locking this thread since the roles are filled.

TTYa in the OOC!

[undisclosedtoyou]

What exaly is the Subordinate wolf?

[undisclosedtoyou]

What exaly is the Subordinate wolf?

A subordinate wolf is one that doesn't hold an Alpha, Beta, Omega title, but who's still a member of the pack.

[Dragonfly7022003]

Ok thought so just wanted to make sure, I guess I could play that,

[undisclosedtoyou]

Ok thought so just wanted to make sure, I guess I could play that,

Oh, don't sound so excited :P

The part we need is for a male wolf, if your willing to play a male, you can have the spot.

[Dragonfly7022003]

Yeah I have no problem playing a male char, What kind of wolf is he? or do I get to choise.

[undisclosedtoyou]

Yeah I have no problem playing a male char, What kind of wolf is he? or do I get to choise.

All wolves in this game are gray wolves(Canus Lupus), but there are a bunch of sub species for that classification, so lot's of choices.  If you go to the character thread, a link of which can be found in the first post of this thread, than you'll find the answers to a lot of questions you may have.

[Dragonfly7022003]

Cool give me a min to get a char together.

[undisclosedtoyou]

Cool give me a min to get a char together.

Oh, please take your time, I prefer a thorough character profile to a fast one :)
