Introduction
Welcome to Of Grandeur and Savagery, my Shadows of Asia journal! I've always had a particular fascination with Russia and other such Slavic/eastern cultures, and although these RPs are about wolves and foxes and have nothing at all to do with the socioeconomic effects of the Bolshevik Revolution, I do plan to incorporate the mythos of some of these cultures into some of their personalities.
That being said, if you're interested in an RP, please send me a PM (do not post in this thread), or post in my plot thread (I will have a link when I make the thread =P) to get an RP going! I'd prefer to RP in guild, but have MSN as an option. I have AIM, but I honestly hate it a little bit, though we can RP through it.
If I am slow to respond to RPs, I WANT you to bug me about it. If I can't get at least a little post off every day, I'm probably just lazy and could use a boot in the rear.

 Name: Dimah (Дима)
Name Meaning: Torrential rain
Colorist: Meepfur
Received: Forum contest 11/13/09
Rank: Rogue
Family:
Mate: Zaledenet (Sergeant Sargent)
Background: Dimah’s parents were rogues that broke away from their pack. On their own, they sought to start their own family and pack, but their intentions went awry. Of their four pups, the two males froze during a blizzard, and Dimah’s only sister broke a leg and became fatally ill from the untreated injury. Dimah’s parents, aging, their dream not only unfulfilled but littered with the corpses of their offspring, decided to join one of the nearby packs. However, for the past several years Dimah had the growing suspicion that her life would be as cursed as her siblings’ if she stayed with her parents, so she left them readily. The break from the familiar smells of family and territory has since dimmed Dimah’s eagerness to be alone, and she now seeks safety in numbers, and perhaps a family.
Physical: Dimah is a young wolf with a compact, strong frame and fur made heavy against the elements, but in each movement muscles shift visibly beneath the skin. She is still sharp, but lacks the smooth weight of the comfortably fed. So far she has no noticeable scars.
Personality: Put shortly, Dimah is superstitious and stubborn. She believes that the forest and hearts of outsiders are full of danger, and that gods and spirits leave signs so the wise may know of these troubles before being destroyed by them. She sees symbols in everything and can seem to make erratic decisions from time to time, but often the perceived symbols conflict and she will rely on more common logic. However, when her mind is made up about something, it is all but impossible to change. Her stubbornness is valuable in a fight though, and she will staunchly defend family or friend until the purpose is exhausted. She hates being confused or conflicted about situations and can be abrupt with those who are hesitant, though she is good-hearted in general and prefers getting along with those around her. (She may also be rather protective of future cubs and not willing to share parenting responsibilities, but that's in the future and still debatable.)
Best Quote: Shame is for those who don't know how to live.
Status: Seeking RP! Dimah has a mate lined up at the moment, but she might not be immune to temptation? Other than that she's also lined up for a pack, but needs some general RP to build her character and whatnot.

Name: Pyotr (Пётр)
Name Meaning: Stone
Colorist: Lithia_Brandon
Received: Forum game 11/29/09
Rank: Rogue
Family: ---
Background: Pyotr was born in a rocky cave decorated with the bone armor of slain wolves and leopards. He and his sister, Olga, played under the critiquing eye of their mother, who would tell them how to best incapacitate an opponent until they were no longer playing, but sparring. Although Olga was a female, she was larger than her bother and typically won their little duels. She was vicious outside of battle as well, and Pyotr grew under constant antagonism. He often tired of his mother and sister’s talk of attacking other rogues and would wander out to a stream and sing very quietly to himself under the babbling of the water. He was not an especially talented singer, and when he was an adolescent Olga ruined his private amusements in a duel where she “accidentally” clawed his throat. Pyotr, no longer able to speak over a hoarse whisper, gave up on earnestly fighting his sister during spars. His mother had long only given her son a secondary interest next to the daughter so dear to her own heart, but she still had some maternal concern for her offspring and spoke with Pyotr, encouraging him to leave. Staying, she reasoned would likely only leave him further maimed. Deeply troubled but agreeing, Pyotr left his violent relatives. Alone he has found some measure of peace and relaxation.
Physical: Pyotr was born slightly undersized, and today he remains so. His fur is extraordinarily soft, thick, and well groomed, and besides keeping him comfortable in bitter cold, is quite lovely and feeds his ego. In spite of his typically docile nature, his hunting is skillful and has given a stocky build, though if confronted about it he would blame call it muscle or blame his poofy fur. Due to a fight in his youth, there is a small scar on his neck that troubles him from time to time and has given him a soft, whispering voice.
Personality: Pyotr has a remarkably kind personality. Living without the harassment of his mother and sister has relaxed him a great deal, and he’s learned to appreciate small joys. He is very vain of his looks, but also particularly sensitive on account of his voice. Because of this, he is usually quiet and cocky when first meeting others, which makes him appear a snob. When he becomes comfortable enough to speak though, his words show him for a caring leopard that appreciates beauty and happiness.
Best Quote: There’s so much out there to learn, but there some things I would rather die than know.
Status: Looking for general RP, plot, and a mate or fling. Pyotr could use a good friend, and as far as the ladies go he has a particular weakness for those with kind hearts. He especially admires singers.
