A Wild Bond


(thank you for your patience in the waiting for the rp to finish while I had my husband get the computer available, writing on a kindle is so tedious.)

Werewolves have been known for centuries as wild and feral beasts that could not control their basic instincts and urges. Older weres have noticed that a pattern has emerged that from puberty on, a were's madness grow steadily until they no longer think like their human halves but only of a beast filled with rage, blood-lust, and hunger. These weres are usually taken out by their own kind but the occasional human hunter gets lucky and takes one out. It seemed that werewolves were doomed to lives of madness and ultimately death.

100 years ago the great leader Garth braved the dark fae woods in the attempt to find the cure to his ailing mind. The leader knew his people were not ready for his death, and he feared for his clans survival should he be put down. So he took the chance to enter the forbidden woods, on the edge of madness, to search for a cure.

The fae did not reveal themselves for three years as the were searched and traveled their woods, instead they tested, tricked, and all around confused the beast that was raging to come out. After three years of torment and confusion, Garth could no longer hold his beast back, and went on a raving rampage through out the forest, until finally he came upon the fae that had tormented him for years.

They fae had prepared for battle, ready to kill the beast that threatened their safety, until one loan female came forward and miraculously tamed the beast inside to allow the man to come forward. At first no one had known what the woman had done. But after some time it was learned that she had performed no magic on the man, but merely reached out and touched him in a gentleness that he had never felt before that gentleness had awoken wild magic that bonded the fae and were together, taming his madness and making her magic stronger.

Years later the fae and weres have come to an agreement, to bind their children at birth, promising marriage to secure the faes own strength and the weres sanity. However this twist of the traditional bond that Garth and Eva experienced years ago is bound to have some sort of backfire,right?

Basics

Now these are not the werewolves of fantasy and smut books, where the man or woman turns into a large wolf on all fours and are typically beautiful creatures in both human and wolf forms. NO in their human forms Weres are quite attractive to look at, if you like the strong large type. Even their women are robust and larger than life. (think Amazons) However when they change it is not a pretty easy picture. They are half man, half wolf creature. The head, tail, and claws of a wolf, but the body of a furred man standing painfully upright.

The moon is not what calls the wolf beast, but instinct and need. They can change at will but with each change they grow closer to the madness of the beast, and less control of their human minds. The change is incredibly painful, should one be watching you can see the bones breaking before reforming themselves to a new shape. Wolves are made two ways, through birth or through bite. Bite is rare as most die from the change. There are both male and female wolves HOWEVER it is a male heavy population as females are less likely than males to survive a bite and their gene pool is very male heavy making giving birth to a female a rare treat. Were's can breed with humans or other weres to produce offspring, however should they breed with a human they always produce male offspring.

Wolves are pack oriented, much like their wolf cousins. They have an alpha leader and a strict hierarchy. This is why they dont just kill each other right away, but wait until the madness takes over a were before putting them down. This is seen as an act of mercy not murder, as no wolf wants to be a slave to instinct that kills anything in sight.


With a Fae bond

Upon forming a bond with a fae, the wild magic that ties them together tames the wild madness in the weres mind making them able to control their beat half easily and with great power. However should their bonded be in danger they go into a deeper madness than before, a kind of berserk rage that only their bonded healthy and well can calm. Due to this should a fae die violently while bonded, the were never lives long after needing to be put down quickly.

Fae and Weres can breed, however it is a toss up what the child will be.. If they produce a female child is will always be werewolf. If they produce a male child it will always be fae.. They will appear full blood in all abilities, not half no one can explain why this occurs but just accept it as the wild magic that bonds the parents. (Weres born of a were and fae pairing still have the madness they must fight)

Not all weres agree with the fae bonds. There are a few that believe letting their kind bond and breed with the fae dilutes their blood and makes them weak.

Basic

There are litterally hundreds of different kinds of Fae. From the great queens to the little brownies any can make a bond with a were. Fae tend to be tricksters in nature, though some are more so than others and some are darker than others. Just like the weres Fae are have a strong gene pool but theirs tends towards the Females. There are male fae however, they are not seen as strong as the females and many are workers or soldier. (think bees)

Fae magic varies on the type of fae they are, however all fae from the time they are toddlers can do glamour magic that allows them to appear more beautiful than they really are. Typically it is said that the more elaborate and beautiful their glamour is, the uglier the fae truly is in real life.

Fae can breed with anything under the sun and their females still shine through, the only breed pair that guarantees a male fae offspring is with a werewolf.

Bonds

Once bonded with a werewolf, a Fae's magic grows ten times strong than it would normally be able to grow. Male fae have grown to be rivals of queens by bonding with rare female wolves. This can be a good or bad thing again depending on the fae that receives the powers.

Should their were bonded die Fae are more likely to survive the separation than wolves do mentally. However many emotional fae women have taken their lives to be with their bonded in the afterlife, not able to handle the emotional emptiness that they describe takes over with the lack of a bond.

Like werewolves there are a few fae who detest the bonds finding them to be polluting pure lines and tradition. The fae that oppose the bonds are louder speaking and more in number than weres.

Rules


Bonds

Bit more info on bonds as I couldnt think of where else to put it. Now this is technically an arranged marriage RP, however a bond may not happen between the two that are chosen to marry. That is where potential drama is going to come in.. A bond can be formed many ways but essentially when two people touch each other or make a connection that could not be repeated. (EX; tenderness never felt before, respect never before given. ETC) wild magic will surround the couple tying them together until death. Now the arranged marriage pairs will be boy girl partners.. does that mean that same sex partners are nto welcome? OF course they are!!!!! Wild magic isn't picky on the sex of their partners as long as that emotional connection is met. Once a bond is made it cannot be broken.. does that mean parents wont try to still push the marriage arranged? Many will, as to avoid insulting the other party. This really depends on the parents involved. Is it always parents that make the pairing? Nope, as wolves are not all born some weres dont have parents to choose. In cases like this the match is made by the pack leader.


Edit: Once a bonded pair dies does that mean they cant bond ever again? Not necessarily for either species.. there isn't one person for them in all the world but many. Most just dont ever see them after experiencing such a loss they cannot imagine re-bonding with another.. and with wolves its harder due to their berserk rage that cannot be tamed.

Characters/Profiles
PM Profiles to me, however you are responsible for posting them on the profile page.. no profile on the profile page and you cannot post.
Each person may have up to 3 active characters at a time. Should you neglect any of the characters they will be asked to be more active or be removed. Please make sure you are planning to be active before making a character, as this is a roleplay dependent on other people being active and it will be hard to fix things if you bring yourself forth to a bonded or your arraigned marriage partner only to disappear.

Arranged marriage partners will be randomly chosen by me once we get more than 3 characters. However bonded partners are chosen by you folks. Should your character and their partner not match up thats fine think of the drama and story it will make should they find their true bonded in the process.

FIll out profiles completely with no missings, unknowns, or I dont want to tells you. I will not accept any such answers. You may use any type/style picture you like as long as it is tasteful and follows Gaia TOS.

Edit: Powers : Normally I dont restrict powers for fae at all however we have quite a few with the ability to tame beasts, or even be able to speak or calm a were in madness for a short while. So I will not be accepting anymore profiles with these types of powers after this point. Use your imagination people, there are tons of fae to take inspiration from.

Posting/ content/ etc


POst at least one paragraph per post please, more is always appreciated and welcome but keep to that bare minimum. STick to Gaia TOS as always time skips and black outs where appropriate. Again I cannot stress this enough do not join if you only going to quit after 2 or 3 pages. That is not fair to the rest of the group.

OTher

The roleplay will take place at a designated meeting place in the fae forest. Couples can meet there at designated times. There are buildings for recreation, inn for the couples to stay, and bonded pairs for them to talk to and get answers from.

I reserve the right to add or change rules as I see fit or someone does something stupid.

The Bonding grove as it has been renamed, is where arraigned partners go to meet, form a bond, and learn about each other, other races, and bonds in general. All ages are welcome here as a bond is needed at various times in life. THere is a small town here run by other bonded couples that are to provide insight, knowledge, and answers for the young couples to be. Once a bond is formed the couple is to be wed right away.

THe image above is pretty accurate as to how the village looks at the northern edge of the grove. IT is a larger than life tree with home built naturally in its branches and trunk. (no wood was cut or harmed in the making of this village) At the top of the tree the branches form a natural platform for festivals and parties and holds a large inn 250 ft up in the air. There are pathways leading from the tree to various places in the grove such as the welcoming area where most people arrive at. It is surrounded by large grassy fields and flowers (not swamp like the picture)


The tree is a giant magical sequoia, who has lived for thousands of years and has given its branches to be the homes and safety for those who need.
The homes in which the couples live in start off as basic homes with extra rooms. The tree is literally alive though and as it learns each couple needs, wants, and life styles it will change to fit those needs, even ones that the couples do not know of yet. All of the buildings in the tree are brought forth by the tree nothing is cut or forged through dead wood it is all living. Anything made of wood grows straight from the tree from the floors (so they can't be moved or thrown) Buildings like the tavern constantly change to the needs of events and parties so one day it can look grand with many tables and others a plain tavern or inn with a handful of tables. (basically the public buildings are constantly changing they will be drastically different one day to the next)


weather

It is a warm spring day and the grass and dirt are drying from recent rains. Nature is just starting to live again and the smell of spring is prominent.

Time Era

Medieval England

Events

None at the moment.

Credits and shout outs



The inspiration for this Rp goes out to my roommate, who upon seeing the first picture wrote a quick plot and passed it on to me for tweaking into a roleplay format. She is the mastermind behind the idea of bonding a were and fae together to tame their beast inside. I only came up with the back-story and guidelines.

Pictures were found on bing and edited by myself, formatting for profiles was also created by myself.

Brielle had been traveling for two weeks now, though her body hardly appeared to have the wear and exhaustion that a weary worn traveler would have. In fact she looked only slightly out of breathe, and thanks to a river she had found an hour before appeared to be cleanly washed clothes and all. Her hair was even damp still as she got closer to the bonding grove.

She was skeptical about this mission, and that was all she would see it as. Her fathers pack had a tentative peace with neighboring tribes and she felt more needed there, than here wooing a husband to bond with her. This all was a waste of time, she was a long way off from the madness taking over and she felt her father worried too much.

She refused to think about how hard it was for her mother and brother to pull her out of the madness after her last trip, it was a fluke she was too young to go mad yet she was just really agitated after being attacked. With a sigh and another delusional thought on how she was ok mentally Brielle hefted her pack up higher on her shoulder and crossed the trees into the clear land of the grove, a small town run by bonded pairs to help others do the same.. here it would be that she would be her betrothed, and hopefully her bonded fae. If not she was doomed to go mad and kill all around her.

Volundre ☽☾ Laaska


The sunlight filtered through the thick canopy of trees, making the werewolfs sapphire eyes sparkle as they hit the light. Volundre walked gracefully through the trees, not making a single sound to disturb the silence of the forest. The animals had fled, knowing that a predator was in the area. Him. And a predator he surely was, even to his own kind.

Volundre hummed a soft tune, his deep voice carrying each note perfectly. A tall man, with large rippling muscles and a tendency to not wear shirts, he was an intimidating man. The scars on his arms and torso could clearly be seen against his dark skin, and his dark shoulder lengthwas was tied back to keep out of his face. Despite his intimidating size, he had kind eyes and a flirtatious smile. Whenever Volundre walked into a crowd, he seemed to make everyone feel more at ease. Which was his goal in the first place.

Seeing the Bonding Grove up ahead, he quickened his pace. He wanted this, needed this. He was so close on the edge of madness, that within the next few turns he would become rabid. There was no way that it could be stopped, except with a bonding. And Volundre desperately hoped that he could form a bond, with one of the fae attending. His alpha had told him to go immediately, even making a temporary replacement for the man. He was a beta, a peace keeper. With just a few words Volundre could dispel an argument between two pack members. But now he was basically temporarily kicked out. No one wanted to lose Volundre. And Volundre didn't want to lose himself.

Stepping into the clearing, now whistling a happy tune, he noticed another werewolf standing there. The two of them must have been early, because no one else was around. And because Volundre was Volundre, and she was an attractive woman, he made his way over to her. With his signature, seductive grin, he introduced himself. "Hello there, fellow early bird. I'm Volundre. And you, gorgeous creature, must surely have a name as well." He chuckled whole heartedly.

((OOC: This will be my last post for the night, Wanted to let you all know im typically on until around 10 pm US Central time, but am on nearly all day otherwise. WIll make an OOC thread tomorrow and post the pairings for marriages at that time as well. ))


Brielle looked up as a deep voice sounded nearby and she turned her head to see a male wolf of a different pack. She noted right away that she was an inch taller than him which wasn't odd for her.. She was taller or the same height as most weres, this was due to the fact she was born into her species instead of turned. Turned women tended to be on the short stocky side Brie had noticed.

Brie hadn't even blinked at his flirty nature, she was again used to it. Growing up in a male heavy population, particularly one whos instinct was sex and breeding, well girls got hit on.. a lot. Brie had not time for such things and gave him a smirk. "I have heard our kind described as many things Volundre, gorgeous is not one of them. " she replied first without giving her name.

Despite her cut down on his flattery Brie allowed him to come closer without a growl or snarl in warning. She knew he only meant to bring forth a smile to her lips and perhaps warmth to his bed. IF he was hostile he would not be so easy going at the moment. "I am Brielle of Holt's Clan to the East. " she introduced herself formally, extending her hand towards him for a firm shake.

Shidha Maeya McLyre


Shidha sauntered into the clearing, dressed in the full livery of a Fae Knight, hand resting casually on his sword hilt. He was barefoot, as any proper Fae should be. He could feel the forest around him. So much life. So much potential for death. Shidha resisted the melancholia, pushing it away from himself and affecting a cocky grin as he approached the to wolves. The female was comely, attractive even by the lofty standards of Fae maidens, though like Fae maidens she was dangerous, perhaps more-so than the mountain of meat of testosterone besides her. His size didn't impress Shidha, giants were bigger and he'd slain his fair share at the battle of Aeloyn Pass. Though to the wolf's credit he was doubtless much smarter than a giant.

"Hello, my name is Ser Shidha of the Autumn Fae." He bowed with all the grace of his people. "I am to guide you back to the Village if you'd be so kind as to follow." His voice was a lilting thing, musical, dancing about the forest trees, resonating with the sounds of the forest.

▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃


                                      Having been suffering from a depression (as he should be, he did tickle his beloved to death!) for some decades now, Erik’s cousin finally pushed him out of the forest. The fae crossed her arms as she made sure Erik really left. He would pull no tricks over on her! At the edge of a forest waited a wolf pack, these wolves were particularly large, being the strongest pack in most likely all the north. They had a love for the male fae, thinking of him not as just a fellow creature of the forest, but apart of their pack. He sighed and at the urging of his cousin transformed into a raven, the corvid bird species always found near wolf kills. “Remember, you’ll be the first of our kin to travel so far south, you must represent us well.”

                                      The raven croaked, which the wolves and the fae understood as Erik telling his cousin not to worry so much. Of course, she had plenty of reasons to worry. While many of their folk were playful, Erik sometimes took it to an entirely new level. With a final croak, Erik spread his wings and flew off with the echoes of howling wolves behind him.

                                      It was some journey, even on wings but eventually he made it to the right forest. At least, he hoped so. Ah, no matter, whether he was close or not, he was getting hungry. Flying so far, and in such form, required much refueling. With grace the raven descended, landing on the ground and walking towards a berry bush with swagger. Some nearby rustling disturbed the eating raven, making him fly up into a high branch. It wasn’t long before he heard voices. A male voice, followed by a female and another male. The raven half hopped and half glided through the boughs, eventually he came upon those whom he heard talking.

                                      One of the males was clearly of his kin, though he was a very serious looking fae. The other two...the raven hopped from side to side, tilting its head as he studied the creatures. For a moment he thought they were human, though their manner of dress, rather lack of dress, was odd. Ah! It must be the weather, their lack of dress was to accommodate the warmer weather down south. Had to be...The female was rather large, in fact, she may be the largest female he’d ever seen. She was quite...handsome. The male on the other hand, while of impressive physique looked rather average in size to the northerner. He too was handsome, though the adjective fit him better.

                                      The Autumn fae asked the others to follow him, causing the raven to call out with a gurgling croak. Gliding down from the tree he landed between the fae and the weres. On two feet, he puffed up his chest, feathers ruffling and with a flap of his wings repeated one word, “Follow.” With that the raven walked towards the fae, taking an occasional hop as he swayed left and right with each step.
