There are several ways to get a wolf.

Most wolves have packs, this is basically their family. There is an alpha male, alpha female, and most of the times other adult wolves and pups. A few packs have elders, though they are fairly rare. Pups are normally born into a pack, though they may leave and become a loner later on in life. Some will remain undecided until the last minute, when they decide to join a pack. Most loners are males, though there are a few female loners.

~::Current Packs::~
Blitz pack: This pack lead by the alpha Aren are known for their speed and amazing attack formations when hunting and fighting, typically this pack contains mostly natural coat colors though the odd patterns of oddly colored member does exist. The blitz pack lives in the mountainous northern region .They keep to the base of the mountain and upwards for the most part. Due to prey and territory issues the Blitz pack most often quarrels with the Lowlands pack.

Lowlands pack:currently less a true pack than a band of former loners and young adults seeking to leave their home packs the lowlands packs is know for it's oddity. Both in coat colors it lack of a true hierarchy. The lowlands pack inhabits the valley beneath the blitz packs territory and so they are often fighting with them.
Note: If you would like to start a new pack please PM me with some basic information like thier typical coat colours and where they. Make sure to include another rival pack as well.

Every wolf has a spirit. It's what signifies them in life. There are strong and weak spirits. Strong spirits are held in high regard, but even weak spirits have their own advantages.

Normal growth
User Image

Pup
Pups eat, sleep, and play during their day. They are very inquisitive about everything and this is the stage where they try and use everything. Their personalities are yet to stabilize and most like to chew on everything that enters their path. In pack life, this is when the adults find the pups a rendezvous site where they will play and spend most of their time with a supervisor.

Adolescent
The wolves are much bigger and finally start to calm down at this stage. They still love to play, but they do much less sleeping and develop a slight interest in the opposite sex. Their personalities and tendencies are much more stable, though still somewhat shaky at the moment. Now, they will have learned from their parents how to hunt small game, and will eventually join with the adults in the pack hunt. At this point they start to decide for sure whether they want to stay in a pack or become a loner, or if they want to branch out and find a new pack.

Adult
These wolves are the foundation of the pack, and are most normally wolves that were born into the pack and never left. With no specific ranking, they take on any job they need to, and help around. They form the most part of the pack, these in-betweeners, and are the most commonly found rank of wolves. They do everything, from giving simple advice to their Alphas to hunting to pupsitting to storytelling. By now, they are ready to settle down, and are ready to have pups.

Specially obtained
User Image

Newborn
Newborns can only be obtained through breeding. At this stage, they are helpless and have yet to inherit their senses of sight, smell, and sound. They stick close to their parents, and are completely defenceless without them.

Loners *No shading template*
Loners do not have packs. These wolves are wolves that, during their adolescence or sometime in their adult years, found the pack life to be too stifling, or were separated from their packs. They live alone, keeping to themselves and are rather elusive. They mark out their own territory, but often only appear at dark. Loners, like most adult wolves excluding Speakers, Shamans, and Elders, can breed. However, it is rare for loners to breed, as the female must raise the pup (loners are limited to only one pup, a trait developed over the long years of living alone) alone, as the male will retreat into solitude after the breeding.

Loners are, in fact, the only wolves that may become Speakers or Shamans, and therefore the only wolves who may become Elders.

Speakers
Speakers are much like Shamans and Loners in that they do not live in packs. They are like Shamans because they are also extremely rare, though nowhere near as rare as the Shaman or Elder wolf. Speakers are not exactly magical, but they do have a knack for language. A Speaker can understand the language of one or two other creatures, along with their native wolf song. The creatures that they can understand and talk with are normally the creatures of their spirits, or creatures closely tied to their spirits. Many young wolves often feel a distinctive tie to creatures at a young age and do their best to understand their language, which will become clearer over time if there are truly destine to become Speaker, however many such feelings may be triggered by their growth and may mean nothing significant. If, however, the young wolf tries hard enough, they may gain the ability to shakily converse with the animal.

Some Speakers can talk to the dead, the result of a strange gene mutation often considered a curse, which leads to these Speakers being feared and occasionally shunt. Those rare Speakers that have the ability to converse with the dead always have wolf spirits. Those with spirits such as the earth can arouse magic. For example those with spirits of the earth help bring spring a little sooner to Wolf's Woods. However, it is only simple magic, and often is only an illusion. Such as with the spring issue, a Speaker who can do such a thing may be able to boost the growth of plants and such, but cannot banish the cold of winter, or the snow. Speakers still remain a baffling mystery to even the wolves themselves.

Speakers may become Elders eventually. However, because Shamans are the ones who are normally the Chosen to ascend to the stage of Elder, it is rare for a Speaker to win the rank.

Speakers are a very arrogant type. They do not believe in the mixing of blood, and because it is so rare to have to Shamans in the same few generations, they do not breed.

Shamans
Shaman wolves are hardly ever seen. They are a legend among humans, wolves, and other animals alike. Very little is known about these stunning wolves, except that they are strong, and extremely wise. Their knowledge of healing and herbs surpasses that of the Alphas and perhaps even the Elders. Shaman wolves are said to have healing abilities and can understand the language of all the creatures. They are also rumored to be able to cast strong magic, though few are foolish enough to try. They are very calm and legends say that Shaman wolves can heal any sickness or injury if they find a reason to stop the course of Mother Nature. Stories in human culture tell that Shaman wolves can transform into their spirit. Those with spirits of water can flow downstream like they were water itself. Shaman wolves do have a bit to do with bloodlines, but often wolves will be blessed a Shaman who have no blood history of magic of any sort.

Only Loners or Speakers may become Shaman. And like the Speaker wolf, Shaman wolves do not breed. They are not as arrogant, but they have their reasons.

Elders *No shading template*
Elders are the oldest of all wolves. Because they are so rare, they tend to live in solitude, but are often seen within the forest to offer advice to any who come for it. While Elders no longer have the magic they had as a Shaman or a Speaker, they are wise and virtuous, and are the only wolves who can teach the usage of the skills for the newer Speakers and Shamans who have yet to get the hang of their roles.

Elders are looked to for help, and are treated with the utmost respect. However, being such old creatures, they no longer reproduce. And although Elders do not live forever, it is said that obtaining this rank somehow lengthens the life of a wolf.

Omegas
Omegas are the lowest rank of any pack wolf. Timid and shy, they are the ones who have the worst jobs, and are bullied by all, even the pups. They may or may not help with the hunting. Although they are so low in rank, even Omegas can fight when they need to. Omegas are mostly wolves the pack saved, or wolves that entered the pack without the complete consent of all, and are treated as lowly creatures.

However, they get protection for doing little, and often, Omegas have very attractive coats, perhaps to make up for their poor rank.

Alphas
Alphas always have strong spirits. They are the leaders of their pack, and decide everything. They patrol their packlands, making sure that no intruders come onto their territory. Alphas are often the leads to hunt groups, and get first dibs on food and breeding. If the Alphas have pups, they may or may not allow other wolves within the pack to have pups. However, once the Alpha’s pups grow up, they may no longer enforce a no-breeding policy upon the other wolves.

Lineart Updates
I thought it was the most appropriate place...

User Image

You MUST pm all purchase requests to the mule, with the title the name of the wolf in question and 'Potion Purchase Request' (Ex: Toffee: Purchase Request Request). The colorist who colored that wolf will then read the information and see if enough rank-appropriate RP has been provided, and you will be answered.

If your request is turned down, you will have to wait until the next month (at the very least) before trying to purchase the potion again. During this time, you should work on the RPing, because most likely it is that which is the problem.

Also, do not send the trade to the mule until an approving PM has been sent to you.

Purchase Request

Owner: (If it's for someone else, make a note of it so I know)
Wolf's Name: (The wolf the potion is for)
Colorist: (Of the wolf, not who you want to color your wolf's lineart update. If you don't know it, no biggie.)
Potion of interest: (If it is simply a stage up/down or freeze potion, no need to fill in RP bit)
Purpose: (Such as the stage up/down potion, you need to tell me if you want a stage up or a stage down. With other potions, simply state why you want the potion and what you will use it for.)
Links to Roleplay: (You must have proof of RP that your wolf has acsended to the said stage, and you must have sufficient RP. Sufficient RP being anywhere from 5-15 roleplays with other wolves, each consisting of at least 70 posts. One-liners will not count, nor will sloppily done RPs. Once you get your answer, it is final and you will not be allowed to try for the potion again for a month. So be careful, and no bitching if the answer is no)
Any discounts: (You CANNOT make up discounts. WE WILL KNOW who has the discounts and will remind the owner if they forget to fill this part in. But fake discounts will result in immediate graylisting, and may even lead to blacklisting.)
Total: (This if for if you have discounts.)

When PMing the form, please do not include any of the bracketed wording!

Love... is in... the air...? o.o

Yes, that's right! Because like any sort of living species, these wolves have the instinct to produce babies.

Most wolves mate for life. However, these wolves do not. It is up to the owner to decide. Does their wolf prefer the safety of just one mate? Or does it not mind jumping from wolf to wolf?

The wolves must be an Adult, Omega, Alpha, or Loner to breed. The pairings must be male/female, because despite odd quirks here and there in the behavior of these wolves, nothing short of human technology will suffice in same sex breedings, and wolves don't want to mess with humans.

.. Adult x Adult breedings results in.. 1-3 pups.. Newborn-Adult
.. Adult x Alpha breedings results in.. 1-3 pups.. Newborn-Adult
.. Adult x Omega breedings results in.. 1-3 pups.. Newborn-Adult (occasionally Newborn-Omega)
.. Adult x Loner breedings results in.. 0 pups
.. Alpha x Alpha breedings results in.. 2-4 pups.. Newborn-Alpha
.. Alpha x Omega breedings results in.. 2-3 pups.. Newborn-Adult (occasionally Newborn-Omega)
.. Alpha x Loner breedings results in.. 0 pups
.. Omega x Omega breedings results in.. 2-3 pups.. Newborn-Omega
.. Omega x Loner breedings results in.. 0 pups
.. Loner x Loner breedings results in.. 1 pup.. Newborn-???

The stages listed are the phases of change the offspring are guaranteed to go through, without RPing. However, with RP, they have every chance to become something more.

Of course, there is a fee...

.. Adult x Adult.. 7k
.. Omega x Omega.. 8k
.. Alpha x Alpha.. 8k
.. Mixed.. 10k
.. Loner x Loner.. 15k

(Currently very tentative numbers, subject to changes)

Loner breedings are a tad bit pricier, because here, it is so rare to see lone wolves pairing up to raise pups.

Shop Rules

1) Be nice
2) Please do not argue. Take this up to PMs, and if it continues and you find the need to bring it to the staff, then do so, but do this only as a last resort, and PM the mule only. Whichever one of the staff that reads it will decide if it needs to be forwarded to the rest of the staff.
3) Do not flame
4) Read the entire front page. Any questions you'll have should be answered here. If it's not, post it in the thread. PM to the mule ONLY as a last resort, such as if you have asked a question and it has been ignored for a week. DO NOT EVER PM COLORISTS UNLESS YOU HAVE PERMISSION
5) Keep cussing to a low. We know that you're all people, you all need to rant. And we will know a rant when we spot one. So don't feel like you can't rant, but certainly don't fill every other word in an ordinary chatting post with profanity!
6) We'd very much appreciate it if you wouldn't get a wolf and disappear off the face of Gaia, never to be seen again. If you've forgotten about the thread, just pop back in and say 'I LIIIIVE!' or something. We'll still love you!
7) The staff reserve the right to alter any rules

Do you do pet Trades?

Yes we do however we are not always in the mood or don't have the time.

If I already own a wolf can I participate in Raffles, auctions and Flatsales?

Even if you already own a wolf you can participate in any event you wish unless it is for non owners only.

How many wolves can you own?

You can own as many wolves as you see fit. If you own a whole bunch of wolves and there are a whole bunch of new people wanting them I might ask you to take a break for a little while, but that would just be a request. ^_^
