Welcome to the Lupinar!


Before anything else, please read the parchment above. This is a place for my close friends to hang out and chat, kinda like a guild within a guild. Below is a list of Pack members and list of people who have specific permission to be here. Don't worry, you can come here, we won't kick you out right away.

Bolverk: The Bolverk is the main enforcer of the Ulfric, and is sent around through the Pack to make sure the Ulfric's will is being followed. The Bolverk, however, also receives.... less desirable tasks from the Ulfric, usually because that specific Bolverk has once challenged for a rank of power, such as Ulfric or Lupa. These tasks may include staying in wolf form more to alert the Pack immediately of any danger, the killing of Rogue members and the disposal of enemy corpses in the Pack's territory. The Bolverk is often used in an almost boogeyman-like fashion to keep the members of the Pack in line.

Born Wolves: Like this Pack, Born Wolves are Werewolves who were born as they are, instead of Turned. Wolves like these are likely to spend longer periods of time in there wolf forms, and don't travel in as tight a Pack in human form. This is due to the fact that they most likely knew each other in wolf form before human.

Erato/Eros: Although they help new wolves cope as they change from human to wolf to human, they are usually unnecessary in most Born Wolf Packs, as they don't normally turn humans into werewolves for the use of their own Packs.

Fenrir/Fenris: An official challenger to the Ulfric, he is named after the son of Loki from Norse mythology, the Wolf destined to devour Odin, Fenrir. A Pack member of any rank may challenge the Ulfric is a battle for leadership of the Pack, and is then deemed "Fenrir" no matter what their previous rank. Usually the only way to settle such a battle is a fight to the death, the Fenrir (or Fenris, if female) usually losing. However, sometimes such a duel ends in banishment, or receiving of the rank of Bolverk.

Freki: A second to the Ulfric and Lupa, he (or possibly she) helps with peacekeeping and enforces the will of the Ulfric. Prized only a bit above the Geri, he is the first to be sought after for council when a difficult decision arises. It seems that if the Ulfric and Lupa are at odds, so will the Freki and Geri.

Geri: A second to the Ulfric and Lupa, she (or possibly he) helps with peacekeeping and enforces the will of the Lupa. Prized only a bit below the Freki, he is sought after for council when a difficult decision arises and the Freki is unavailable. It seems that if the Ulfric and Lupa are at odds, so will the Freki and Geri.

Hati: Named for the Wolf that chases the Moon of Norse mythology and is a protector of the Ulfric and Lupa. A Hati may become more aware of their surroundings at night while Skoll may become less so.

Turned/New Born: A turned Werewolf is a human who has been attacked by, bled upon or had a little bowchkabowow going on with a Werewolf. Once the first three day cycle of the full moon hits, the newly transformed wolf is considered a New Born until it is able to control itself, and avoids unnecessary loss of lives.

Turned Wolves: Unlike Born Wolves, Turned Wolves were created by other wolves by the transferring of bodily fluids (that doesn't just mean biting or sharing blood...) One Pack of Turned Wolves known to this pack is Cristi's sister's Pack, where the only Born Wolf is her sister. These Turned Wolves tend to travel in a tighter pack as humans than Born Wolves, as they are most comfortable in the human bodies they've had all their lives. Wolves who have been Turned were likely a group of friends victim to a Newborn werewolf attack.

Lukoi: The term Werewolves created for themselves.

Lunaros Ciquel: A fancy term for the Lunar Cycle. The Lunar Cycle is New to New moon, a twenty-eight day cycle.

Lupa: Has just as much influence over the Pack as Ulfric, though most still think the Ulfric a slight bit above the Lupa, and will usually hold their tail a little higher than the Lupa. Lupas have the power to challenge the Ulfric's decision on matters that concern the Pack, but unlike the Freki and Geri, who have the same power, he or she may override the Ulfric's decision if more are willing to follow him or her instead of the Ulfric. In doing so, it is one point in a Pack's time that leadership may change without death or banishment. When this happens, the Ulfric lowers their tail some and steps behind the new Ulfric, accepting their new role of Lupa. Also thought of as the "Alpha Female" it is also possible for a male to have this role in the Pack.

Lupanar: A Gathering place for a Pack of Werewolves, such as ourselves, to meet. A Pack receives the location of it's Lupanar from its Guardian Deity, or Spirit. It is usually impossible for another Pack or other humans to find one Pack's lupanar unless one of that Pack's members divulges its location. Christi knows the location of her Sister's Pack because she was told verbally, and once led there in a Dream.

Sikla: Sikla is a term that may not be used in every Pack, but is used to describe the weakest member or in some cases, a member who may have been dishonored.

Skoll: Named for the Wolf that chases the Sun of Norse mythology and is a protector of the Ulfric and Lupa. A Skoll may become more aware of their surroundings during the day while Hati may become seemingly more tired.

Ulfric: The most leader-like figure of the Pack, often seen by humans as the "Alpha Male", although this can be misleading. Though Ulfric is usually a position held by the strongest man of the Pack, and the chances of a female Ulfric are slim to none, it can happen. if a female had been appointed Ulfric at the very beginning, that decision stays until a challenger can take her place. Having a female Ulfric can be very taxing on her and the Pack, as it is rare that all the males in the Pack will accept her as the Ulfric, and she has the constant worry of keeping the Pack undivided and following her lead.

Wolf Description: A very unique shade of blue-white that seems lighter in moonlight. He has the most average build for a wolf, but knows how to use every bit of it to his advantage. His eyes are pale green that get brighter when he's fighting or talking to the Ulfric.
Human Description confused ??
Bio: In the past he challenged the Ulfric to a duel for leadership. In his challenge he stated: "There shouldn't be two female Alphas, especially since they're best friends. It'll cause conflict in the Pack." He lost this challenge and was to be banned from the Pack, but for unknown reasons was not. However instead of becoming resentful of the Ulfric as many thought he would, he became strictly loyal and was given the rank "Bolverk" by the Ulfric and Lupa. He prefers his wolf form as he feels it garners more respect from the rest of the Pack.


My Challenge???

I'm a very odd person, who believes basically anything is possible. Therefore, I think it's possible that the rest of the pack is out there somewhere, and our Lukoi bond makes it all the more likely that I'll find them somehow. If you think you are one of these pack members, PM me the missing information, currently filled with ???s, and I'll see if it strikes a chord. I go on instinct for most things, so I'll be able to tell if you're one of them.


Extened Pack Members


These are people I know and trust enough to consider part of the Pack. Basically, people I would (mostlikely) trust with my life.

When I have them, I will be adding dreams about the Pack. These usually occur in our Wolf forms, but may occur in human as well. So far I've had two dreams, one was the first dream that started this whole thing, the other a dream I had sometime in November, 2007. these dreams are not written, but expressed with my exact though as I type. this means there won't be proper breaks, puncuation or paragraphs. I want these to be experienced as I felt them, and the only way to do that is to right what I feel, when I feel it, how I feel it. Don't think of these as stories, or explinatons of dreams. Instead try to put yourself in my Mind. Try and memorize the names and their corresponding Pack Titles, it will make more sence than trying to read it off-the-cuff. Now look below and sink into my Mind, let your Body feel the Power of the Pack, and your Spirit slide into the Essence of our Dreams.


Dream One


Dream Two : 11/12/07-11/13/07
......... What's that scent? Water? There's a stream close by, but no fish? Polluted? No no, it's just cold. The pads of my paws hurt, how long have we been running? All night. We'll have to cross that stream to get there. It will make my Pack uncomfortable, but we have to get there. Lupa's running closest next to me, Freki and Geri close on our sides, beyond them, Hati and Skol. Derek's running behind me. I hear him grunting in... pain? no, excitement. He's picked up the scent. we'll turn by the stream, we won't have to cross it yet. For now, we hunt. Derek takes the lead for an instant, till I or Lupa catches the scent. It's on. We run faster, spread out. I can't see the blurred surrounding land, but it's framiliar territory. I know where we are. My sister's Pack Gathers on the other side of that stream, her Lupinar. Stay foccused, the scent is fresh, but it's obscured by the decaying leaves. Rabbit? Yes, definately a rabbit, no doubt it's young but good sized. My paws hurt, but I can't stop running, I don't even want to. Lupa signals to me there's another hunt to be had, a second trail. I bid her leave with Hati, Freki and Skol, but she doesn't deviate. Our second prey is close. Derek growls and barks a quick, sharp bark. The prey knows. Derek, Geri and I flank the prey. Lupa and the others run on. Soon I hear our Skol give a similar yelp. We eat well tonight. Geri dives and snaps her teeth on something. Blood. But she runs on, the prey has survived. Derek runs ahead, doubles back. He pushes the prey to us. I feel my mouth water, grin slightly. I lean, lurch forward and stop abruptly. The rabbit twitches in my jaws. It goes limp. No, not a rabbit, but a young racoon, who had taken refuge in a rabbit's home, he'd been hunted by something before us. We run again, returning to the path we had set ourselves upon earlier. My paws burn from that momentary rest. I smell my own blood, and it makes me salivate on the racoon clamped securely between my teeth. I see Lupa return with some other small prey and......... we're running again. My paws ache, but not like they were. The prey is gone. Prey? There was no prey. We're running for sport. Racing. Lupa and I take the lead, our Freki close behind with Derek a fraction of an inch ahead of him. The others, Hati, Skol and Geri are running, but chasing eachother, not racing. Skol nips at their heels and I give him a stern warning not to injure them. He eases back, grins in my direction. Color? I've never seen a color like that before. Ah, yes I have seen that. That's the color of Derek's coat in the sun. He comes beside me, attempts playfully to pin me down......... We're running again. I didn't hit the ground? No, of coarse not. We have no time for play now. Another gun shot. I feel the warm blood seeping through the blinding pain in my paws. A tree near us is struck with the shot........ No, that isn't gun shots, there hasn't been a hunter in these woods as of late, has there? No. No there has not. That sound is lightning. The tree is set ablaze, an odd site in the middle of this down pour. Healed? No, my paws weren't bleeding, we've been running in this storm all night. My paws are wet, cold, in pain, but not bleeding. I shake my dark, soaked coat of fur........... My paws burn, I can't think straight the pain is so bad. Hati, Geri, where were they? I'm so scared. Derek, Lupa and Freki, they're here. Skol? Where is he? Where is my Pack? s**t. s**t! what's going on? It's so dark, and cold. But I'm so hot. I can't run like this. Who was that? Who dropped? I saw someone drop... Lupa? No... Derek, Freki? Damn, they've both fallen. Where am I? It's me and Lupa left? Are we hunted now? Not humans. ShitshitSHIT! What's going on? I can' see anything now. Lupa? I call out but nothing. I howl. I bark. I scream. Damn it! I can't run! god DAMN it, why do I have to run? where is my Pack? My paws... So damn much blood... and I'm so tired. I'm so tired of being this hot, this scared. I can't see. What is this fear? I have... to keep running, but I'm so damn tired, so... scared... and the pain... I can't form and clear thoughts... Just the pain... and fear... I'm so warm... so... cold... I don't want to run anymore... The pain................. I don't want to run...


If you have a Dream about the Pack, I'd like to know. You can PM me, call me or text my cell, but it's important to tell me what you dreamed. If you'll let me, I'll write a summary of your dream, but if you can right it yourself, that'd be wonderful. If you don't feel you can write it, call me (I'll give you my number if you PM me about a dream) and explain it so I can try and write it out as close to your Dream as possible.

Rules are important, and if not followed will land you in Pink or even Puce on The List!


Rule 1 -->No flamming the Pack or other people in this thread. Everyone has a right to their opinion, but if it hurts others, keep it to yourself.
Rule 2 --> Listen to me and Brenna or leave.
Rule 3 -->Follow the Gaia ToS. I'm pretty sure this is standard everywhere, but follow it nonetheless.
Rule 4 -->I reserve the right to make up nonsensical rules just to get you thrown out if I don't like you. add rules as I see fit.


There is no Black List because black is an awesome color. Pink and puce, however, are not.


THE LIST
Pink Listed (Warning already given, banned for a week)
Puce Listed (Banned permanently, Banned from all my threads)
