Meaning: Hebrew for “man”, “to be red”, or “earth”
Gender: Male
RP Color: #E32636 
Orientation: Heterosexual, if completely thick-headed
Build: Runtish in size and lean in build
Distinguishing Marks: Lightless black eyes (he can only really see bright colors, the rest being hues of monochrome) and the scars a lynx gave him when he was younger
Pack: n/a
Rank/Title: Seer
Acquired: RL Coms
Mate: n/a
Children: n/a
Personality: Adam has been and probably always will be an upbeat, goofy optimist. Rain or shine (or utter cataclysm as it were), he remains loyal to the idea that perseverance and patience will always be rewarded and avoids violence and confrontation whenever possible. He is a pup at heart and tries to keep things lighthearted, but since the event has become a little more cautious about revealing personal details about himself.
Well, the ones he can remember at any rate.
Adam suffers from partial amnesia due to the high amount of stress the world shaking event (especially the fires) placed on him and, incapable of sufficient hunting on his own, grew weak. While recovering, he's more skittish of strangers despite his welcoming personality impulses and overall is lost in himself. He keeps his seer power closer to the vest than ever and still mimes speech while using his thoughts, preferring to keep conversations on the other wolf rather than himself. For now, he sees himself as a wandering Samaritan who's a little worried someone's missing him.
Misc.: Adam was born partially blind and mute. The "voice" most hear is one he adapts from others using his seer power to project, thus allowing him to perfectly mimic anyone he's listened to for long enough. He also has a deep fear of fire and a less deep (but still wary) anxiety around lynxes.
Relations:
All old relations have been wiped away until he gets help regaining his memory.

Meaning: Hebrew for “secret” or “mystery”
Gender: Male
RP Color: #593800 
Orientation: Heterosexual
Build: Average for a male his age, but lighter in weight; he prefers to keep a sleek build when possible to help with stealth
Distinguishing Marks: Splotched fur and clear blue eyes
Pack: Tomkin (post cataclysm?)
Rank/Title: Beta
Acquired: Gifted by Kage/Stormy Hound
Full Family Tree
Father: Stryder
Mother: Schatze
Siblings: Kane, Abel, Aloysius, Tuilinn, Arlette
(older) Samhain, Failbhe, Beltane, Litha
(younger) France, Guitain, Lutherford, Cecily
Mate: n/a
Children: n/a
Personality: Boisterous and self-assured, Raz is the well-done son who can't locate his parents and thus projects his accomplishments to others as signs of his worth. He likes to run his mouth off more than he ought to and stretches the truth if it makes him look good, though never for darker purposes; as a result, he likes making up stories if not listening to them, fictional or otherwise.
Raz was attention-seeking and overeager as a pup but has since been forced to grow up with the sudden dissolution of his pack and the cataclysm (though he still can't help but like getting attention anyway). He retains a rogueish grin and loquacious charm, but he actually grows deadly serious when on the hunt; it's easier to bear his packless state that way. He still carries old bitter thoughts about his scattered family and prefers to avoid talking about it when possible.
Misc.: Raz managed to pick up some of his assassin training before things went to hell in a hand basket, and his splotched coat helps camouflage him in some terrain. His preferred method is quick and painless, though he has only ever brought this upon prey and not another wolf. For all his aspirations in being "the best killer" of the pack, the idea of murdering a fellow wolf now is unsettling. Additionally, when reluctant to give his actual name, he goes by Cipher.
Relations:
Ransom = a wolf he ran across a while back and helped nurse back to health; awkwardly denied sexual favors in return, but is utterly pleased someone considered the option

Meaning: Chinese for “pretty and bright”
Gender: Female
RP Color: #FF7E00 
Orientation: Unexplored and distracted by the shinies
Build: A little underweight and lean
Distinguishing Marks: Striking marks on her forehead and beneath her eyes, gloved forelimbs--both from her grandmother--and a solid black underbelly
Pack: n/a (former Aves)
Rank/Title: Lone/Jewel Thief
Acquired: Gift from Alyosha
Grandmother: Antianeira (mother's side)
Father: Yuijang
Mother: Maia
Siblings: Cethin, Radek
Half-Siblings: Elore, Rufus, Kaila, Mars
Mate: n/a
Children: n/a
Personality: Li Ming is the embodiment of freedom and is always on the move for something new to stimulate her. Nosy, sassy, and independent, she takes each day with a casual air in spite of the fact that on her own, she's lost quite a bit of weight. If anything, she's embraced this new wild side of her princesshood and has happily cast off the idea of ever joining a pack. Li Ming has lost the pure joy of brawling and instead prefers to be as beguiling and contrary to others as possible: one moment teasing, the next snapping. To put it simply, Li Ming is stuck in the party girl phase and doesn't want to turn it off, even if the world burns around her. She'd rather busy herself collecting (read: stealing) shiny things, most especially human jewelry--none of that drab fang and pelt fashion, but honest to the spirits gems. The gal fancies herself an expert flirt and loves a challenge, but she doesn't like to waste her time with those that don't offer her something for it.
Misc.: Li Ming is more amicable to those with colorful pelts, having always been envious that she never inherited wild schemes like her brothers did. Her familiar, Yue, has been with her since puphood (and as such has been suffering a life-long headache since) and tries to act at the wolf's conscience. Unwittingly, Yue reminds Li Ming a lot of her old pack due to her color scheme, as it had been of the alpha's line.

🐾 Twiddle 🐾
Meaning: "to play negligently with something"
Gender: Male
RP Color: #887869 
Orientation: Asexual
Build: Bony, thin, a little below average height
Distinguishing Marks: Dragon on his back, blind left eye, tuft of hair, bent ear, bloody ribbon around neck
Pack: n/a
Rank/Title: Lone
Acquired: March '10 Commissions
Mate: n/a
Children: n/a
Personality: Twiddle shows very little emotion, but there's no particular reason why. He isn't stoic by any means and certainly doesn't try to act tougher for it. Quite literally he just doesn't seem to grasp what emotion is and thus barely shows any, aside from base ones like fear and satisfaction. The wolf's stuck somewhere between utterly childish and utterly spiritual and isn't keen on changing it. He is highly inquisitive and will doggedly pursue topics that interest him . . . which can literally be the most random thing. Word games and associations are how Twiddle interacts with the world, making him very awkward to chat with unless one goes along with it. The thing he seeks out most, aside from shelter and food, is stimulation.
Misc.: Formerly of Ignis Renatus, Twiddle is used to subservient duties and once had a semblance of pride in cleaning and janatorial duties. There's a small piece of his skull exposed under his tuft of hair, though he can't remember how that or his blinded eye came about, or really much of anything past a certain point.
Relations:
Marion = A gruff she-wolf he's promised his pelt to should he die. He calls her Marion Bear-Heart.
Rorret = They dined on a she-wolf together and chatted for a while. It's hard to erase a wolf like that from his memory.

🐾 Merrill 🐾
Meaning: Variant of Muriel: "sparkling sea" (Also called Meme by some)
Gender: Female
RP Color: #8601AF 
Orientation: Heterosexual Worksexual
Build: On the meatier side with a thick coat and broader paws; her bloodline is from the mountains and used to harsher terrain/weather
Distinguishing Marks: Pink and blue markings like a claw on her back, stripes on legs
Pack: YMCA (upon return)
Rank/Title: Beta
Acquired: Gift from Brown Wolf
Mate: n/a
Children: (w/Tierehl) Camille, Roland, Mavican, Arianna
Verse (Adopted)
Personality: Work, work, work: Merrill's mind is always focused on it, even if she should be relaxing. The beta finds herself something to do once a task is complete, satisfied only if she has packed her day with things to do. Loyal, efficient, and hard-working, Merrill is as dependable as the rise and fall of the sun. This means her social skills have suffered somewhat, but her extended time in YMCA has helped. She still remains a tough love sort of she-wolf, however, and won't settle for nonsense--and she'll most certainly voice her opinion about it. Motherhood has, if anything, only reinforced Merrill's brisk personality.
Misc.: Merrill was one of the original founding members of the YMCA pack and is quite nosy about its business and anyone remotely touching it. Having come from the mountains, she tends to suffer in the warmer weather and will always welcome the snow. Due to this very background, she also has a long-standing rivalry with all bears.
Relations:
Chivosi "Si" = Her oldest friend and a wolf she's sworn her life to.
Derecho "Si-Son" = She treats him like a nephew, with all the tough love attached.
Aleu "Minstrel" = Like her brother, Merrill gives her the same familiar treatment but will try to keep a closer eye now that she's with Verse.
Verse = A pup she once took in, Meme's ward has grown up and made her proud. She still can't figure out his poetry sometimes, though.
Corvus = A once flirtatious wolf turned into an eager father. Merrill still keeps her reservations despite this but has become more sympathetic after having her own litter.

🐾 Captain 🐾
Meaning: "a powerful or influential person in a particular field"
Gender: Male
RP Color: Chocolate 
Orientation: Heterosexual and feeling vaguely old
Build: Wizened but tough, slightly taller than average but not bulkier
Distinguishing Marks: Painted mask and pawprint on thigh; old scars here and there
Pack: Acropolis (post apoc?)
Rank/Title: Beta/Not!Uncle
Acquired: Contest by Ash
Mate: n/a
Children: n/a
Nephew: Dover
Personality: Avuncular and polite, Captain approaches everything with long-suffering patience and a small sigh. While unafraid to assert himself or even throw himself into battle, his temper is a hard thing to rouse and an equally hard thing to quash once incited. He has seen enough in his life that very little does get to him, and he tries to keep the peace whenever possible despite lacking the actual skills of a diplomat--he comes across more a doddering parental figure at points. Captain was born and raised a soldier, but his original stoicism has since evolved into a softer, if still somewhat gruff version of affection. The only thing particularly odd about him is his (sometimes obsessive) need to keep a clean pelt, which he has yet to explain to anyone.
Misc.: "Captain" is of course not his actual name, but a carry-over title from his old pack. His real name has been eschewed in hopes of finding a second chance at life with his ragtag band and the pack.
Relations:
Tisiphone = The leader of the group and where his loyalties first lie, though now that she is with Hephaestus this encompasses the whole of Acropolis as well. He trusts her judgement even though the she-wolf can be quite brusque.
Heyoka = He still fusses over her, usually for the sake of fussing. Captain is quite aware that she can take care of herself and probably does half the things she does just to give him a hard time in return.
Zanza'jin = While Captain appreciates how laid back he is, it's very apparent to him that the boy needs some guidance: his charms aren't exactly all they're cracked up to be . . .

Meaning: Ναϊάδες from the Greek νάειν, "to flow," and νἃμα, "running water"; naiads were a type of nymph who presided over fountains, wells, springs, streams, and brooks
Gender: Female
RP Color: #EABA02 
Orientation: Heterosexual
Build: Sleek, slender, and constantly exercised through swimming
Distinguishing Marks: Silver markings, especially the one stretched across her body
Pack: Akiiki Chibale (post apoc?)
Rank/Title: Beta/River Guardian
Acquired: ???
Father: Butterfinger
Uncle: Musketeer
Mother: Tae
Siblings: Cascade
(older) Nereus, Nimue
Mate: n/a
Children: n/a
Personality: Naiad comes across as an energetic and outgoing tomboy who's happy to get rough if necessary, but on the inside she's a delicate little princess with a sensitive ego and a slight fairytale fantasy--not that you'll ever know. She's got a stubborn streak that'd give a donkey pause and will only get increasingly so the more she feels threatened. Due to her upbringing, she's got high standards when it comes to her company, morals, and how family should be treated, and is greatly saddened by anyone who doesn't have a life like she does. After all, everyone deserves the best. Well, except for the very obviously evil, naturally. Naiad's as goodhearted as they come, but she's a little naive to the ways of the world and unable to cope with a lot of stress.
Misc.: Like the majority of her family, she's most at peace near bodies of water, especially freshwater. Naiad is a vegetarian by choice (read: she's a poor hunter) and highly protective of fish, believing them to be the most helpless prey of all. She longs to be whisked away by a princely male and shown the wonderful ways of love, and yet her very personality comes into opposition; the idea of going soft with anyone is terribly, terribly frightening.
Relations:
Kailani = A traveler who stayed for several days at AC whom Naiad developed an unwitting crush on; it certainly helped that he happened to be a prince. His sudden departure left a sour taste in her mouth for a variety of reasons.
Nereus = Her older brother, bless his patience, helped teach her how to hunt, though she's still quite awful . . .

Meaning: "a related group of emotionally significant ideas that are completely or partly repressed, causing psychic conflict and leading to abnormal mental states or behavior"
Gender: Male
RP Color: #C645A2 
Orientation: Has yet to explore
Build: Feminine/less stocky than the average male
Distinguishing Marks: "sock" markings, black wings
Pack: n/a
Rank/Title: Beta/Wandering Hero
Acquired: Breeding
Grandfather: Paranoia (mother's side)
Grandmother: Bipolar (mother's side)
Uncles: Hysteria, Craze, Ecstacy, LSD
Aunts: Lithium, Schizophrenia, Xanax
Cousins: Sirius, Valium, Zephyr, Mayhem, Neon, Disco, Derealization
Father: Domovoi
Mother: Delusion
Siblings: Eidolon, Triplicate, Deviant, Skoll
Mate: n/a
Children: n/a
Personality: Named specifically for the hero's complex, this wolf is always happy to crusade for a cause to the point that if he doesn't find any, he tends to try and make situations himself. A grieving mother, a stranger needing food, that one dude who needs help murdering someone . . . Complex's moral compass is completely out of whack: to him, helping anyone do anything (outside of self-harm or hurting himself) is "doing a good deed", and he'll feel next to little or no guilt about it. After all, one person's villain is another person's tragic hero, right? Complex is utterly guillible and, in spite of his heroic bravado, is much better as a follower than actually intiating anything himself. He goes through life like it's the best game in the world and that he's the chosen protagonist to right its wrongs, but at least he's very sincere about it.
Misc.: Complex's heroic identity is simply "X". There are days he really thinks he can fly thanks to his markings, which has led to more than one accident. He has also inherited highly, highly suppressed anger issues thanks to his dad (and the overall not so normal family upbringing), and while his temper is hard to instigate, it can get pretty Hulkish if incurred.

Posted: Thu May 22, 2014 10:48 pm
Meaning: Named after a keyblade
Gender: Female
RP Color: Cornflowerblue 
Orientation: Heterosexual
Build: Average in most respects, though with softer fur; sometimes appears less than wholly physical, however
Distinguishing Marks: Colorful mane, wing accessory, thalassa shell memento
Pack: The Realm of Light
Rank/Title: Shaman/The Keeper of Chronicles
Acquired: June Jamboree Concept Contest
Father: ??? (adopted by Ultima)
Mother: Skyglow [IC]
Mate: n/a
Children: n/a
Personality: Serene and compassionate, Oathkeeper exudes a quiet aura not unlike a satisfied mother wherever she goes; her base mood always leans towards being open with others and offering assistance, hating to ever take attention for herself. The shaman's behavior is somewhat flexible, able to join rowdy pups in a game one moment and all but flawlessly move back into formal conversation the next. The one thing that never changes, however, is her peaceable nature: she will always try the diplomatic route and would rather compromise than cause an incident. Oath is almost passive to a fault because of this and may come across as a pushover, though on tougher issues her spine can shine through (albeit the calmer kind). Underneath her warmth lies a surprising amount of melancholy that dogs her to this day.
She is true to her name, however: a promise is more binding to her than anything in the world, and to make one is a serious, almost intimate matter.
Misc.: Oath's domain is memories: she has the power to retrieve, modify, and even erase them (though not without great exertion); she may also at times get unintentional glimpses simply by being around another creature. The trinket around her tail was from her past (and thus far only) lover, though it usually spends time in her den rather than woven around her person. Denied her own family, she can often be seen doting on the young almost shamelessly when not helping Key run the pack.
Relations:
Kingdom Key = The current alpha of the Realm of Light and one whom Oath trusts, though what few glimpses of memories she's seen make her sympathetic to her loquacious friend.
Lalita = A refugee from an unforgiving mother, his flirtations are gently taken and circumvented the best Oath can.

🐾 Kingdom Key 🐾
Meaning: Named after a keyblade; prefers Key or KK instead
Gender: Female
RP Color: Gray 
Orientation: Heterosexual, more inclined to take temporary partners than a solid mate
Build: Limber, a little thinner than most and with longer legs
Distinguishing Marks: Shimmering fur, crown markings, gloved paws
Pack: The Realm of Light
Rank/Title: Alpha/The Key to the Past
Acquired: RL Coms
Mate: n/a
Children: n/a (IC: three presumed dead)
Personality: Key has never been a quiet type: even if she's got nothing to say, she'll find a way to talk about how she's got nothing to say, sorry about that, really she is, she's normally better at this but it's literally like no, nothing, zip, nada, but she feels for you, bro, really she does. She's an all around good guy who prefers to think about the present rather than the future or the past, very much a "forgive and forget" sort of wolf. Key has terrible commitment issues, however, which make her appear flighty and hesitant to engage with more personal things, even if it's just among friends. About the only thing she remains inflexible on is that her pack stays neutral to all others, whether they wish to be allies or not. She can also appear a little scatterbrained as Key likes to have multiple things on her mind without necessarily having the ability to juggle.
Misc.: Her one and only relationship in the past ended on a sour and violent note, thus making her less inclined to open up to others; she uses the alpha facade to cope instead and prefers that people think of her as two-dimensional since that makes everything easier. She shares duties with Oath as far as leadership is concerned, tackling the dry work such as boundaries and other alpha duties while the shaman works on the individuals' concerns. To be honest, she was never groomed to be an alpha and finds the work hard and nervewracking, though satisfactory.

Meaning: Japanese: 1.) "daybreak," 2.) "enlightened," 3.) "fast learner," 4.) "knowledgeable," 5.) "perceptive," 6.) "persuasive," 7.) "understanding," or 8.) "wise." (He really is, at max, maybe two of these)
Gender: Male
RP Color: #4B5320 
Orientation: Unconcerned
Build: Slender and feminine, tail is usually tucked
Distinguishing Marks: Gleaming fur like metal, piercings
Pack: The Brotherhood
Rank/Title: Omega/Pupnapper + Teacher
Acquired: Contest
Father: Aurum (never met)
Mother: Kurosage
Siblings: Teita, Agrona, Xavierie
Mate: n/a
Children: n/a
Personality: Satoru is that one guy who feels like he has to make up for a grievous past mistake by never messing up again. Ever. His exuberance and emotional conviction for the Brotherhood is such that he has happily become an overbearing mother in the pack, coddling pups and preferring to see his life through a rosy lens. Utterly loyal and utterly subservient, Sato lives to please others by any means necessary. He's not so great at being violent, but this has caused him to adapt by using charm instead, especially when it comes to younger wolves. A smile is almost always on his face, for better or for worse.

Meaning: Greek Καστωρ (Kastor), possibly related to κεκασμαι (kekasmai) "to shine, to excel". One half of the Dioskouri in Greek/Roman mythology, aka Gemini Twins in Latin; also a star in the Gemini constellation
Gender: Male
RP Color: Cadetblue 
Orientation: Heterosexual
Build: A little more muscular than average, but his frame is still on the thin side
Distinguishing Marks: Various lightning bolt marks, silver nose and lips
Pack: The Realm of Light
Rank/Title: Gamma/The Flash of Inspiration
Acquired: Breeding
Father: Hero’s Crest
Mother: Artemis
Siblings: Maera, Calaeno, Glory Storm, Endymion, Last Stand
Mate: n/a
Children: n/a
Personality: Castor is first and foremost a tactician: he prefers to see things from every angle possible and then take the most successful path of them, bearing in mind the well-being of others but sometimes falling prey to his own calculus. He is secondmost a wannabe warrior, combining tactics and training to make up for his shortcomings when in battle or on the hunt. Castor takes after his mother in that he believes life requires balance, and he tries to reflect this need in himself while trying to do right by his family of warriors.
This also, coincidentally, makes him extremely awkward in casual gatherings. He's almost a closeted nerd among popular people in every exchange, sincerely trying to get his point across but usually in the worst way or most confusing way possible because he's nervous of how he comes across to others outside his family. Things come easier to him in simple facts and hard numbers; things that don't abide by this personal code baffle and entice his curiosity, making him appear nosy or impersonal in his search for the truth. Like his father, however, Castor believes in persevering and never giving up and will always give 100% in whatever he throws himself into.
