Cert Uncert Name: Lokelani (goes by Loke) Meaning: "Heavenly Rose", Hawaiian Obtained: Jan 2011 Breedings RP Color:Cornflowerblue Theme Song: "Troublemaker", Weezer Distinguishing marks: Pelt fades to yellow around paws. Angular markings around eyes and stripes along back. Pink nose. Pack: None for now
History: Born one of two girls to Monaeka following Kai's ill-though-out one night stand with his best friend. Ashamed of how the whole thing ended, Kai left the packlands for awhile to cool his head and ended up meeting an old packmate who begged him to go back to his homeland, Kapu'Moana. Feeling that there was nothing better to do now that he had screwed things up so completely with Mon, Kai left -- never knowing that the female carried his pups. Lokelani and her sister won't meet their father for quite some time.
It doesn't stop Loke from wondering about him incessantly, though. She wants nothing more than to track the no-good loser down and give him a piece of her mind.
Personality: Loke inherited her father's idealism and her mother's dry sense of humor -- leaving her a special brand of cynic, the kind who will point out the flaws in the world only because she believes it capable of so much more. Incredibly sarcastic and dead-pan, Loke usually has a snarky comeback planned for any given situation, and doesn't care much about anyone's opinion but her own. She thinks too highly of herself to need friends if those friends don't match her standards.

Name: Anatto Meaning: A south-american plant used to make dyes Obtained: Rehomed from Milorganite; gift from Bombazine RP Color:Cool Copper (#D18719) Theme Song: Distinguishing marks: Dark brown pelt; tan and orange patches and spots Pack: YMCA
History: Rejected at birth by his sadistic mother, Anatto and his two brothers were raised by the pack nanny of Antianeira under the watchful eye of two slaves. Knowing that the boys lives were in constant danger if they stayed within the pack, Casimir chose to remove himself and his sons and live amongst the peaceful neighbors in YMCA.
Personality: Anatto seems aloof and distant -- even oblivious -- at most times. His expression is usually inscrutable and he doesn't talk much unless it's to make a smart-a** comment. The truth is, Anatto isn't oblivious; in fact, he sees and hears and feels everything.
He's not so good with emotions. His extreme empathy is uncomfortable, and he's not very good at talking about feelings. Oh, sure, he'll know how badly someone is suffering, and he genuinely cares about others. But he doesn't know how to show that he cares, and so he covers for his awkwardness by distancing himself from others, making inappropriate jokes, and playing around when everybody else is busy being serious.

And you cant fight the tears that ain't coming, Or the moment of the truth in your lies. When everything feels like the movies, Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive.
And I don't want the world to see me, 'Cause I don't think that they'd understand. When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am.

Name: Heyoka Meaning: a type of sacred clown in the lakota culture Obtained: Acropolis RP contest RP Color:Limegreen Theme Song: "Iris", Goo Goo Dolls Distinguishing marks: Gray pelt with darker tail and paws. Mask and green marks are warpaint, not inheritable Pack: Acropolis
History: Heyoka's first memory is a bloody one. Her family was murdered before her eyes by the Brotherhood -- although she doesn't know who these cloaked wolves are -- and her survival is something of a bittersweet miracle. She had brothers. Perhaps these were stolen, or perhaps they were consumed; she has no way of knowing, as she spent the night cowering beneath the body of her dead mother.
Since then, there has been a vacant space in Heyoka's heart, as though her insides are dead and hollow.
Not long after her family's death, a black female came upon the pup and adopted her. Heyoka was raised in a small family group of wolves -- Tisiphone, Captain, and Zana'jinn -- and the four of them spent most of her young life wandering.
As a young adult, Heyoka's band of wanderers found a permanent home amongst the wolves of Acropolis. They stuck together through the disaster, finding their way to new territory in Tolas as a family.
Personality: In turns self-absorbed and totally devoted, energetic and deeply sad. In order to compensate for the gaping chasm of emptiness in Heyoka's heart, she has become an adrenaline junkie. She only ever feels truly alive when she's in danger of dying, and she pushes the envelope constantly: picking fights, jumping off cliffs, attempting impossibly difficult challenges. She doesn't have a death wish; she just wants to feel her heart pound so she remembers she's alive. She gets a kick out of driving her companions crazy, and though her heart is generally in the right place, sometimes she takes things a little far.
::Friends, Family & Foes:
Tisiphone - the wolf who adopted Heyoka; she views the older wolf as a combination of mother and older sister.
Captain - another of her companions, and the unofficial second-in-command of their group; Heyoka pretends she doesn't care about his opinion, but secretly she always takes his advice to heart (although she rarely follows it)
Zanza'jinn - the flirtatious final member of their core group; Heyoka considers him something of a rival, but would die for him all the same
::Miscellaneous Errata::
Several Native cultures have the idea of the Switch, Contrary or Sacred Clown. These are people who invert the natural order of things, pushing envelopes and doing everything backwards for the sake of proving a point -- teaching people not to feel too secure or complacent, reminding people that there is more than one way to do things.
A Safe Haven -- The group finds a new home...but Heyoka may have gotten off on the wrong paw Settling In -- Concerned that there's still bad blood about the bear situation, Heyoka lays low in the new pack...but can't help approach the wolf with a very fascinating green mohawk Mother Hen -- Tis is overprotective, while Heyoka acts like an idiot, as usual The News Spreads -- Heyoka figures out that Tis is mated to Hephaestus, and is pissed

Name: Firdaws Meaning: Seventh heaven; the highest level of paradise Obtained: Gift from Buffy (rehomed from Yttra originally) RP Color:Olive Drab Theme Song: "Armageddon," Marilyn Manson Distinguishing marks: White streaks and copper fawn-like spots Pack: The Brotherhood
History: Firdaws does not remember his life before the Brotherhood. He was stolen long ago by Loki, and was raised to be loyal to Danel. He absorbed his training easily and grew in rank, eventually earning himself the position of Huntmaster when he was still rather young. He's an older, wiser wolf now and has seen many new recruits pass through the pack, but he's far from retirement yet.
As the pack began to fall apart around him -- first with the banishment of the traitor (Firdaws was one of many who had cried for mercy against Rotiart's sins, and has regretted the decision since...although not as much as some of the others) and then with the subsequent disappearance of both Danel and Rummy (whom Firdaws liked just fine and still misses from time to time) -- Firdaws fell back on doing what he does best: hunting, training his brothers, and cracking inappropriate jokes to keep the morale up. He would willingly die for any of his Brothers, and his love of the pack is unwavering.
Firdaws does have one weakness: a certain unhealthy infatuation with females. In a way, it's lucky that he was taken in by the Brotherhood, as this personality trait runs deeper than the pack's indoctrination; in the Shadowclan, he is perhaps less of a monster than he could have been outside it.
Firdaws's unwholesome hunger was his downfall. One female he hunted turned out to be a match for him, and she grievously wounded him, leaving him maimed and impotent. He recovered, but suffered a long fever that caused hallucinations and a sort of religious fervor. He is somewhat more serious now, and even more devoted to his pack, which he believes is part of a great universal plan.
Personality: It's little wonder so many of the hunters in the pack have easy-going personalities, having grown up under the tutelage of Firdaws. Pleasant and generally smiling, it's difficult to really get under his skin. He has the kind of confidence that's not threatened by self-deprecating humor, and he tends more often than not to make jokes at his own expense, often at inappropriate times. Those who don't know him may have a hard time realizing that he's joking at all, as he has a very stern, serious voice -- a low, silky growl that rumbles in his chest.
Loyalties -- Arkadios and Firdaws have a chat about current events The Wandering Pup -- Firdaws locates a pup A Tasty Morsel -- Firdaws hunts a female, but she fights back brutally Where They Shouldn't Be -- Firdaws is found by Rorret, who drags him home Cries of Delirium -- In his fever, Firdaws has a religious experience Distorted Memories -- Arkadios tries to get more information from Firdaws about the attack

And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be. For though they may be parted there is still a chance that they will see, there will be an answer. let it be.
Let it be, let it be, .....
And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light, that shines on me, shine until tomorrow, let it be.
::Basic Info::
Name: Nakine Meaning: "Hope", Hawaiian Obtained: July 2011 breeding RP Color:Rosy Brown Theme Song: "Let it Be", The Beatles Distinguishing marks: Orange anklet markings; pale marks on nose and sides of face; yellow-orange stripe down back; smattering of black spots. Dark blue eyes. Pack: Realm of Light
History: Born one of two unwanted puppies after a tryst between her parents, Nakine was born at the worst possible time. Her mother, Kamiya, had ventured long and hard to find her way home...only to discover her home in ruins. Knowing that journeying further would be unsafe for her offspring -- and that some of her company were very bad influences around the pups -- Kami chose to circle back and leave the pups with their father. Kami disappeared from Nakine's life shortly after.
Personality: Nakine is a rare combination of optimist and realist -- one who knows that the world can be terrible, but who believes in her heart that the world is still a beautiful place despite it, a world which can be constantly improved by hope and compassion. Physically weak due to her premature birth, Nakine compensates by learning as much as she possibly can; she is not a particularly naturally intelligent wolf, and she is very self-conscious of this, so can come off as something of a know-it-all only because she is eager to prove that she knows enough to make her valuable.
::Friends, Family & Foes:
Roshan -- This former packmate of her mother grew rather fond of the pups and chose to stay behind with them at the Realm. Nakine likely would have died during the cataclysm if not for Roshan's help.

I just can’t look its killing me And taking control Jealousy, turning saints into the sea Swimming through sick lullabies Choking on your alibis But it’s just the price I pay Destiny is calling me Open up my eager eyes ‘Cause I’m Mr Brightside
::Basic Info::
Name: Roshan Meaning: Persian; "shining light" Obtained: Twitter-RP thread game RP Color:Sandybrown Theme Song: "Mr. Brightside", The Killers Distinguishing marks: Fading golden pelt; bold white vines/filigree Pack: The Realm of Light
History: Roshan was captured on a raid by Kapu'Moana when he was quite young. Stolen from his home due to his bright coloration, he was always treated rather well -- for a slave -- and never had any major complaints about his life. Eventually he met a female of similar rank and fell in love with her, and together they shared as good of a life as any slaves ever had.
It was doomed not to last.
Roshan's mate, Oksana, was chosen by the King as a favored harem-member. Roshan could have forgiven this, except that Oksana was not only the King's personal slave...she also began to fall in love with him. Bitter and enraged, but completely unable to do anything about his position, he tried his best to bury his misery. He began to wander out at odd hours, sneaking to the border, too frightened to run away but always flirting with the idea.
One night, a mysterious, dark-colored female approached him in the dark. She asked him all the right questions, and he opened up to her -- slowly at first, but soon enough all of his misery was pouring out of him. He told her how the alpha had stolen his mate...how he and so many others had been stolen away from their homes...how wolves were kept as slaves, their fates determined purely by birth...how some members were offered as sacrifices...how inbreeding was rampant and the king gave females no choice in joining his harem. He had never realized until it was all teased out of him just how bad his pack really was.
But he never intended for her to kill them all.
How should he have known that the wolf he spoke to was none other than Poine, the lady of vengeance? How should he have known that his tale of woe was the first step to a heartless slaughter? And how was he supposed to know that, perversely, he would survive the onslaught -- forced to watch the murder of dozens of wolves he had once considered friends?
When the long-absent prince Kailani and the scout-slave Kamiya returned unannounced, they came upon Roshan, and he was overcome with guilt. He was never able to admit to what he had done, and now carries this terrible, massive secret with him.
Personality: If he were not weighted down with the pain and guilt of what he had done, and bitterness over the loss of his mate, Roshan would be the sunniest wolf in the world. Most of the time, he manages to keep up a high morale: always the wolf speaking words of encouragement, always the one making friends. Sometimes, though, he falls into deep moods of brooding misery, and almost nothing can get him out of them until they've run their course. He has a deep love of pups and tends to seek out company as much as possible, as being alone makes him feel especially prone to depression. He prefers acquaintances to friends, however, and will tend to push others away when they get too close.
::Friends, Family & Foes:
Nakine -- Kamiya's daughter, whom Roshan chose to stay behind and help mind. They weathered the eruption and ensuing chaos together, and if not for the pup's quiet optimism, Roshan may have fallen into the depths of despair by now.

Name: Zarathustra (Zarath, for short) Meaning: From Nietzsche's philosophical novel, "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" Obtained: Breedings August 2011 RP Color:Mediumslateblue Theme Song: "Sonne," Rammstein Distinguishing marks: Plum and green paws, muzzle, tailtip; eye marks; bright yellow eyes
Pack: The Brotherhood
History: The only male born from the illegal union of Rorret and Azalea, Zarath's identity has never been revealed to him. As a pup, he was filled with quiet curiosity, soaking up every bit of information he could about the pack. Rorret, eager to put him in a position of power, quietly fed him suggestions and propaganda, planting the seeds that would blossom into a young adult wolf who was deeply spiritual and thoroughly convinced that he had a divine right and duty to lead this pack. When the cataclysm hit, he was able to lead his brothers to safety, and now they travel through Tolas, spreading terror among wolves who have never heard of them.
Personality: Zarath is smart, but without the conniving nature of his father. Instead, he seems gifted with a sort of nobility, an easy confidence that rolls off of him. Quiet and thoughtful at times, he experiences his world through deconstructing it; once he has thoroughly taken something apart, his goal is to put it back together better than it had ever been. He has no patience for mine games or bullying, and he's a firm believer that the individual should never be placed before the pack -- one person's triumph or suffering is shared by all.
::Friends, Family & Foes:
Tides -- A wolf he grew up with and counts as a very dear friend, despite the other wolf's bouts of jealousy toward him.
My love is real as real as the flowers I love you, you hate me I took math class that ain't a fair exchange I call you, you hang up Don't have to be a b***h and get your number changed! I'm sorry, forgive me I never meant to call you those names But I'm lonely, so lonely please
::Basic Info::
Name: Eros Meaning: A Greek word for intimate/passionate love. Also the god of love. Obtained: Breedings Feb 2012 RP Color:Fuchsia Theme Song: Distinguishing marks: Black marks over eyes; hearts along foreleg; striped tail
Pack: Followlight
History: Eros's young life was bookended by tragedy. His sister died shortly after birth, leaving his father miserable at the loss -- and though Eros tried to be his dad's "baby girl" to make up for it, it didn't work well. Later, both his mother and surviving brother were lost during a Brotherhood raid and the ensuing confusion, and both are now assumed dead. Fubar has never forgiven his son for surviving when so many better wolves have died, and Eros has been so desperate for love throughout his life that it's like a bottomless pit. It is impossible to give this wolf all of the attention he craves.
Personality: You know that guy who you smile at, just to be nice, and then he comes over and starts telling you his whole life story, and then follows you around the rest of the day, and invites himself to your house, and tells everybody you're his best friend even though you really don't like him but you're just too nice to tell him to go away?
Yeah. That's Eros.
Filled with love for everybody he meets, Eros is quick to make friends and tends to cling to those friends with an almost disturbing fanaticsm. Clingy, needy and oblivious to boundaries, he's just a little....much...for most people. Don't you dare tell him that, though, as he's apt to fall apart at the first suggestion that maybe you don't want to be friends.
I'm the fear that keeps you awake I'm the shadows on the wall I'm the monsters they become I'm the nightmare in your skull I'm a dagger in your back An extra turn on the rack I'm the quivering of your heart A stabbing pain, a sudden start.
And it's so easy when you're evil This is the life, you see The Devil tips his hat to me I do it all because I'm evil And I do it all for free Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
::Basic Info::
Name: Abraxas Meaning: A term for the devil. Also a magical word, with the same root as "abracadabra" Obtained: Gift from Nyx & Ash RP Color:Orangered Theme Song: "When You're Evil," Voltaire Distinguishing marks: Skull marking on face and skeleton paws; orange-brown stripe down his back
Pack: Acropolis
History: The younger son and middle child of the alpha's pups, Abraxas was born without fanfare and set about his goal of living in the shadows of his siblings. It's so much easier to get away with things when you're not in the spotlight.
Personality: His mother's hot temper, his father's pride, and a healthy dose of mischief from his "aunt" Heyoka has made Abraxas more than a little bit of a handful. Intensely protective of those he cares for, Abraxas isn't really evil...but he sure likes to pretend he is, sometimes. In truth, he's just a master at playing devil's advocate, and has a penchant for asking hard questions. He relishes making people uncomfortable, and he believes that pushing the envelope of morality and good behavior helps to shape exactly what those things really mean.
::Friends, Family & Foes:
Heyoka -- His favorite babysitter, this thrill-seeking female really seems to "get" him. This is generally considered a bad thing as she's not exactly the best influence a pup could have.
You're cynical and beautiful You always make a scene You're monochrome delirious You're nothing that you seem I'm drownin' in your vanity Your laugh is a disease You're dirty and you're sweet You know you're everything to me

Name: Dahlia Meaning: A type of flower Obtained: Breedings August '11 RP Color:Forest Green Theme Song: "Dizzy," Goo Goo Dolls Distinguishing marks: Dark green fur; smoky pale green tendrils along legs, haunch, and face. Silver eyes Pack: Antianeira
History: One of the pups born of the illicit union between Rorret and Azalea, Dahlia has only the vaguest memories of her missing brother. As no one has ever spoken of him since, she decided she must have misremembered and gives it very little thought. She was brought into the Antianeira pack and raised among the warriors, used along with her sisters as pawns in a power struggle between her mother and her grandmother Thealia.
Personality: Dahlia loves being the center of attention, and she isn't sure how she gets there. A born extrovert, she thrives on being around others. She's competitive and smart, and her thirst for attention leads her to excel in anything she puts her mind to.
There is a wicked streak in this wolf, however. She enjoys toying with affections and isn't above being cruel to others, especially if it will get her more attention. While she loves the energy of a crowd and likes to keep a wide circle of friends, she trusts very few wolves and ultimately only cares for herself.
::Friends, Family & Foes:
::Miscellaneous Errata::
I originally had a very different personality in mind for her, but as soon as I set her down in paper she took over and became what she is.
Also, I think she might be bisexual, but only time will tell.

Name: Solaires Meaning: A combination of "sun" and "air" Obtained: Custom contest for the Sunlords pack RP Color:Goldenrod Theme Song: "Blinded", Third Eye Blind Distinguishing marks: Intricate tattoo-like markings up foreleg, sunburst over eye, golden-cream extremities.
Pack: The Sunlords
History: Born to a warrior in the Sunlords pack, Solaires was a bit of a disappointment for his father and brothers. He's just not warrior material -- a pacifist (most would say coward), he's far more interested in making friends than training for battle, and he's more apt to run from danger than confront it. His only saving grace is his speed. His long legs and sleek physique make him an excellent runner, and he used that ability to its full advantage by taking a scout rank within the pack. He gets derided for his low rank sometimes, but he doesn't mind: Being a scout means that it's easier to meet strangers, and some of those strangers are female. Life for Solaires is pretty sweet.
Personality: Out-going, confident to the point of arrogance, and more than a little lazy. Solaires makes friends easily but isn't necessarily the best friend to have. He's an unrepentant flirt, and his greatest regret is that he must some day settle down with just one female. He's quite grateful that the Sunlords will let him keep a mistress (or two) on the side. There's so much beauty in the world, what's wrong with appreciating it?
::Friends, Family & Foes:
::Miscellaneous Errata::
An old OC: Solaires is another old, old OC -- originally part of a sibling group with Kaeerah and Lungaia. He's been through several iterations since then and in every version always somehow manages to find his way back to Bombazine's Deolaya.
