Welcome to the Bear Cubed Purewalker contest! This contest is for pawed newbies. It's a character concept and plot contest, with a dash of roleplay thrown in for good measure.
Read below for rules, information about the bloodline, and the forms.

Rules
Read these rules. Follow them, the rules of Soquili, and Gaia's rules/ToS. You MUST follow the skinwalker rules; if you accidentally break them, do not give the staff a hard time when they ask you to change something to fit the shop rules. Pawed newbies only. This includes purewalkers. Newbie = own zero pawed Soquili. Do not enter if you know you will be receiving a pawed soquili soon. Fill out the form completely, or your entry will go unread. No late entries.
Guidelines
"Bear" (with a modifier) is a good go-to name. If you like it, make it your own. We prefer active Soquili regulars who will stick around to roleplay or at least plot with their new basket. Keep in mind that skinwalkers do not form constructive relationships or family bonds, and that will be the case with this "family."

Bloodline
As you know, skinwalkers do not form family bonds. This is merely here so you know who these baskets are related to and what some of their personalities and killing styles are like.
Mother: Bear "Death's Warden About: While this mare simply goes by "Bear," much like her father, the locals who have heard of her from those who have escaped her pens call her by another name: Death's Warden.
She keeps a prison of captured ponies, feeding and fattening them and, for entertainment, pitting them together to force them to fight or do other unspeakable acts in exchange for the chance of freedom.
The soquili who commits the most horrifying acts the most often by the end of the year, her tally carefully kept, is given one final test before the slaughter. If they enjoyed what they did, or claims to have to please her, they are killed and she moves to the next highest up.. If they hated every moment of it, and is shown to be clearly broken, the soquili is is set free to know that the rest have died instead of them because of what horrors they had done to their prison mates, but only after making them watch before their release as the Warden of their prison slaughters the rest, one by one in front of them, and dresses them in their trophy: the pelt of their closest friend in the cells, strapped on tight so they had no option but to go to others for help to remove it.
Note: Bear will be leaving all three baskets in one spot and as far from her territory as possible.
Quote:
Father: Glacier About: Glacier is as cold as his name implies, caring for nothing beyond his own personal desires at any given time. He views the inhabitants of the land as little more then walking meat and perhaps, if he's bored, things to toy with. Their overly emotional reactions to him are somewhat amusing and although he honestly doesn't understand why they insist on getting so pointlessly attached to one another the way they flail and moan and scream when he interferes with their lives can make an other wise boring day a little bit less so.
He's not entirely stupid however, like most predators he has a highly developed sense of self preservation and while he might toy with the weak and certainly will fight if he's cornered - he generally prefers to disappear when actual stiff resistance shows its face. Not that it matters to him - he's a wanderer and there are always more to torment on the road ahead, why bother expending energy against strong prey when he could find something which requires a bit less effort down the road.
Glacier is a migratory creature, birthed in the far North he found the area up there too desolate - not enough prey to sustain him and the decent areas to live in already taken and defended by older stronger creatures. As such he's followed the seasons... coming farther south in the winter and moving back to the north when the hot weather becomes to much of a burden. He follows his whim's and the demands his thick heavy coat places on him.
His meandering path throughout the land has left devastation and sorrow in its wake, grieving mothers, heartbroken sons and daughters etc but Glacier see's only the whining of the emotionally burdened inferiors that are only around for him to eat or toy with and pays it no real mind. He enjoys watching their reactions simply because he caused it and it appeals to his inner vanity to know he has made such an impact..but in the end all the wailing is really inconsequential.

Basket
Now that you've read thus far, here is the basket that is up for grabs:
We are looking for someone who will actively roleplay - or, at the very least, heavily plot with some light roleplay - their new basket. Purewalkers can be very difficult to play well, and we are looking for someone with a clear understanding of the skinwalker rules who also has an intriguing character concept. The gender is male.
