Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: He Who Slays the Beast
Nickname: Mikhail (Russian for "Who is like God")

As a pup, he spent many hours in rigorous training for battle, always pushing his mind and body far beyond their limits in an effort to reach his ultimate potential. When only an adolescent, he managed to bring down a rampaging bear, likely rabid, that had turned on his pack and caused untold devastation within its ranks. He earned his name on that day, however, a deep-seated disgust had taken root in his heart. His own pack had depended on little more than a child (though of course, he thought more of himself than that, but to all appearances, this is how he saw it) to protect them in a time of need. How pathetic. He would build a new pack, a new empire, based on strength and power, where every member was to be feared and respected for their abilities.

Driven by some unseen force, like a dark, twisted ambition, Mikhail was swift to gather Krokotas to his cause. He was charming, as well as possessing elite fighting skills. He was a natural-born leader, and those he gathered were swiftly swept up by his charismatic, inspiring presence. They swore loyalty to the strange, young, but imposing figure, and more than just swearing by word, they pledged their entire being to this new leader.

Mikhail rules his pack with an iron paw. While he normally leads with strength, charisma, strong leadership skills, he has a dark, cruel side as well. Normally reserved for the pack's enemies (be they prey or other Krokotas), when discipline is required, he will not hesitate to turn his wrath on his own pack members. His judgments are swift and vicious, delivered with startling efficiency. His followers are generally so blindly loyal, that not only would most never dare to openly disobey, but if they do, they'd never think of turning on him for his "justified retributions."

There are signs that not all is exactly 'well' with the Chief-God...like when he's alone, he can be heard arguing with someone at times. Or the sudden fits of rage over seemingly insignificant things. But of course, that's to be expected of one who considers himself a god, right?

• Mikhail's word is law. Disobey and you accept the consequences.
  
• The punishment for challenging Mikhail's leadership is death.
  
• If your Chief orders you to chew off your own tail, you will do it, for he is your god.
  
• At times, Mikhail will demand tribute from his followers. This tribute may be paid in the form of choice meats from a good hunt, or captured Krokotas to serve as his personal slaves. Other gifts of equal value may be considered.
  
• All members of the pack, regardless of status, age, or rank, will be marked with the pack's symbol, to show that they belong to Mikhail. (Likely, a paw-shaped symbol, applied to member's pelts with paint/stains made from plants and berries.)
  
• The pack will function much like a military unit. Everyone will have a rank and those ranks will respect their superiors or pay the consequences for disrespect.
  
• Likewise, all members will be expected to take part in training exercises to push the limits of their abilities.
  

Think you're tough enough to join? Got a character willing to pledge his/her loyalty to Mikhail? Or maybe you have a character you're willing to have captured by the pack on a raid. Whatever it is, if you've got a Krokotas you're interested in having join the pack, just post the following form here and we'll see what we can do.

Krokotas' Full Name: Mother at War
Krokotas' Nickname: Anna Altsoba
Current Rank: Adult
Why does this Krokotas wish to join Paws of Wrath?: Anna Altsoba believes that her daughter was simply put on the globe to serve her needs only. She hates her daughter with a passion cause she see's potential in her daughter that she never had. She is very cold and violent with a knack for playing mind games.

What position/job would this Krokotas like to take in the pack?: With her attitude and her strong history for unrelenting violence, a prison guard would be appropriate.

Krokotas' Full Name: Warrior Spirit
Krokotas' Nickname: Hehe
Current Rank: Pup
Why does this Krokotas wish to join Paws of Wrath?: Poor Hehe is her mother's slave and scapegoat for everything.Hehe sticks by her mother's side never the less because she only loves her. Hehe proves love is stronger than blood in bonding.

What position/job would this Krokotas like to take in the pack?: I see Hehe as being a warrior since she is so powerful within and still keeps going after a defeat.

He sounds perfect! <3

Mikhail: *doesn't know about this 'love' business, but will certainly tolerate him and put him to good use* twisted

Krokotas' Full Name: Witch Hazel
Krokotas' Nickname: Shock
Current Rank: Adult
Why does this Krokotas wish to join Paws of Wrath?: OOC terms, this pack leadership reminds me of Oogie in the movie. IC, this is the only refuge she has against all the family oriented packs. She doesn't want to be someone's equal. She wants to be a spy for her master and dominate over the weaker or younger animals. If she's told to chew off her own tail, you can be sure she will without much hesitation. What her master orders, she does. Mostly out of fear of what they could do to her. Nonetheless, anyone stronger than her has a loyal minion in Shock.

What position/job would this Krokotas like to take in the pack?: Hunter. Shock enjoys chasing down prey and gathering both information and animals/prisoners/victims for her masters. She's not the most powerful around.

One of you is using my name for your character.....o_o
