xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxWelcomexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
~ The Code of Chivalry is Not Dead ~
Honor. Justice. Truth. Loyalty. Faith. Charity. Sagacity.
Diligence. Hope. Valour. Temperance. Liberality. Prudence.
Resolution.
These are but several beliefs and characteristics of many in the creed these wolves take up. In a land where lawlessness abides and instinct often overrides the mind, where the helpless have little fortune against the stronger merely because of the differences of birth or strength, it has been taken upon by a certain wolf called Fantasia to recreate order by instilling within oneself the ethics of those called Knights.
The Order of the Rose welcomes all who embrace pure notions such as these, and an integral component of the pack is the search for justice and balance. Refugees are also welcome, though they must be put to use within The Order in order to earn their keep. Two groups make up the bulk of the pack: The Templar Sentinels and The Rose Guard, each with their own specific rules to take into consideration. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxA Member's Vowsxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx A. First and foremost, my loyalty is to the pack and its alphas, and I am to follow his or her orders with good faith.
A. I am not to cause trouble either within the pack nor within another's.
A. There is no position within The Order that carries shame, but if I am discontent with my position I must work towards my intended rank and be productive.
A. Those that are not wolves have joined with the insurance of safety; never shall the thought enter my mind to ingest nor harm a fellow member, wolf or not.
A. I will work towards the safety of the pack and the peace of the land. Family is my obligation, morality my motto, and words my most preferred weapon unless danger is present.
A. Should I be cast out of this pack, I carry the knowledge with me that I shall not be allowed back in without redeeming myself in the eyes of the alpha(s). xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxA Knight's Oathsxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Ω. I will fight to protect my pack, my alpha(s), and those whom I come across that are weak and defenseless. The betterment of welfare is my cause.
Ω. I will live by honor, for glory, and with determination. 100% is what I will give when training or teaching – that is, my full, whole-hearted and honest effort.
Ω. I will respect all at the utmost, but most especially will I keep women revered.
Ω. Never will I refuse a challenge from an opponent who is my equal or higher, nor will I turn my back upon an enemy, nor will I give up in any endeavor or job placed upon me.
Ω. Deceit, bribes, bias, unfairness, weakness, wanton violence – these are what I will shun without need for debate. Cowardice is not in my vocabulary – chivalry is.
Ω. I will be ready to give up my life for The Order and its members without qualms should wartime approach. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxA Guardian's Pledgesxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Þ. The rose is a sign of beauty, and even as a flower it can cause harm to those that unknowingly run through its thorns. I will treat it with deep veneration and never seek to harm it or other flowers for my own amusement.
Þ. I will tend to the garden and the thorn barrier with the same dedication as a knight; sometimes the best offense is a good defense, and not all battles are won through brute force alone.
Þ. As a healer, I will come to aid of any ailing beast regardless of alliances. Unless absolutely prohibited by an alpha, never will I deny someone medical attention; but at the same time, the pack must come before all others.
Þ. I will choose my words carefully when speaking with other packs, for a slip of the tongue can cause great misunderstanding.
Þ. Like the Knights, I too will be ready to give up my life in order to keep the pack safe. I will man the barriers without fear and bring order.
Þ. I will exemplify all assets necessary of a parent, a teacher, and a warrior, and these I will pass on to the young without fail. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxOrder of the Rose Ranksxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
[ In Descending Power ] Grand Master // Grand Mistress (Alpha)
The formal title of the alphas, male and female respectively. There are always two alphas watching over the pack at all times unless the circumstances are straining; one oversees The Templar Sentinels while the other keeps watch of The Rose Guard, though at times these roles may overlap and exchange to adapt to the situation. It is a Grand Master and Mistress’s sacred duty to make sure things run smoothly overall in the pack, to provide heirs prepared to take on their appropriate roles, and to lead the offensive and defensive efforts in wartime.
Marshal (Beta)
Essentially a Grand Master’s right paw, marshals are the heads of The Sentinels and The Guard. These wolves keep close eye upon their charges and are the ones knights and guardians report to. Usually there is only one commanding a portion of the pack at the request of the appropriate alpha, though at most there can be two per. Knight and Guardian appointing come from the marshal after it has been officially okayed by a Grand Master or Mistress. Marshals can find only one pupil to mentor if they so choose to as the next marshal.
Seneschal (Beta, Omega [rarely])
One can call these the pack’s equivalent to vice-president. Seneschals are in essence the aids of the Grand Master and Mistress, acting as advisers to their alphas as well as a voice of unbiased reason in business-affairs. If a Grand Master or Mistress must leave the packlands for any reason, it is his or her Seneschal that takes up the role as temporary alpha until he or she returns. The wolf also acts as the official tutor of the royal children, but is also allowed one wolf to mentor to their position as the next Seneschal if wanted.
Knight // Guardian (Beta, Gamma)
Seasoned warriors gain titles of honor after proving themselves devoted to the pack. Working beneath their marshal, these wolves whip the recruits into shape as commanders of The Sentinels and The Guard. They are able to scout talent amongst their ranks and put in a knight or guardian request to their marshal if they feel a wolf has the potential.
Oldblood (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Loner, Omega, Vagabond [rarely])
These wolves have served their fellow kin well for quite some time in whatever path of life they have chosen. Or perhaps they were once warriors whom succumbed to some impeding and irrevocable injury or illness. Regardless, these wolves have been venerated to elder status and are now treated with the respect they wholly deserve, now acting as advice givers to those who seek them out, as well as pup-sitters.
Lieutenant // Steward (Beta, Gamma, Loner, Omega)
The default title given to any warrior wolf who has been accepted into either portion of the bulk of the pack and has completed his or her training within it. They are expected to keep up their training at their own pace as well as help keep the pack order, usually in the form of border patrol, hunting, and scouting.
Squire // Assistant (Adolescent)
At this stage in life, many options open for a young wolf. Depending on their work ethic and personality, they can be assorted to their strengths to just about any position in the pack. It is not uncommon for a wolf to switch between Squire and Assistant once or twice before settling, though the decision must be made before adulthood or it shall be made for them.
Newblood (Pup)
Newly arrivals to the Order of the Rose or abandoned pups seeking shelter, these are the future of the pack and treated well; those without parents are appointed a custodian to keep watch over and be responsible for. Newbloods are given much freedom for the most part, often seen exploring the regions of the territory or favoring a particular portion of the pack to investigate.
Citizen (Beta, Gamma, Loner, Vagabond [rarely], Omega)
Sometimes the life of training seems too much. Perhaps a wolf did not meet the requirements to become a warrior or guardian, or mayhaps they just were more interested in living a simpler life within safety. Citizens are no less respected for their choice, though they must make their due to the pack in some form: thus they are usually called upon to become a lost pup’s custodian, help keep watch of the youthful wolflings, or aid a group’s hunt. Others may form their own talent to hone, such as singing or story-telling. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxCustoms, Traditions, and Miscellaneous Informationxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Concerning Appropriate Conduct
Remember: When addressing someone, especially in formal situations, knowing what title befits a wolf when added to their name, as well as the proper posture, can mean a world of a difference and earn someone easy respect. Failure to do these things can result in a faux pa and possible punishment for disrespect.
* Also note that one’s second name can be interchangeable for a title as well, even for an alpha, and is the most of a title any Citizen can receive, hence why they are not listed here. Alphas
Ψ Formal address: “Grand Master ___” (male) or “Grand Mistress ___” (female). The use of an alpha’s name solely is a sign of great intimacy and should only be used by a wolf of close relation, be it family or confidant; easily, the use of his/her name can be a great sign of disrespect if a wolf oversteps their boundary as far as a relationship to them.
Ψ Upon greeting one: A wolf of any rank should, after giving the appropriate title of the alpha, always kneel completely to the ground with their forelimbs, ears docked, head bowed and tail tucked to show submission. Upon rising they may state their name and begin their business. Another courtesy that can be used is to keep one’s throat exposed as a sign of utter trust and submission.
Ψ Upon leaving one’s presence: A wolf of any rank should repeat the actions as they would greet an alpha, save for the reiteration of one’s name and business. Only at an alpha’s word can the wolf then rise and take their leave.
Ψ When Grand Master/Mistress or his/her brood walks about the pack, a wolf should always show some form of submission even if they are simply passing by, by something like a simple bow of the head.
Ψ Concerning an alpha’s children: “Princess” and “Prince” are the titles offered to them at all times regardless of age (unless one becomes an alpha), though they are also eligible for others depending on what rank they are in. For instance, a prince who is an adolescent may also be called “Squire ___”.
Seneschals and Marshals
Ψ Formal address: [For Marshals] “General ___” (both genders) // [For Seneschals] “Chancellor ___” (both genders). “Marshal” and “Seneschal” alone can also be used to address them.
Ψ Upon greeting one: Any wolf that is not also a Seneschal, Marshal, or Alpha should, while giving said wolf their appropriate title, bow their head deeply, though not necessarily to the ground as it is with Alphas. Tails should be tucked, ears docked, the usual as one does before addressing an alpha.
Ψ Upon leaving one’s presence: Read the conduct for a Grand Master/Mistress. A wolf of lower rank awaits The Seneschal’s or Marshal’s word for leave before straightening themselves.
Ψ Again, should a Seneschal or Marshal be moving about the pack, it is respectful to bow one’s head even if they make no eye-contact or conversation.
Knights/Guardians/Lieutenants/Stewards/Oldblood
Ψ Knights and Guardians are known as “Master/Mistress ___” or “Officer ___”.
Ψ Interchangeable Titles For Lieutenants, Stewards, and Oldblood: “Sir/Lord/Madam/Lady ___”.
Ψ Solely for Oldblood, of course, would be the title “Elder” (alone) or “Elder ___”.
Squires/Assistants
Ψ For Squires, it is either “Squire” (alone; more often this is bark of command from a high ranked wolf) or “Squire ___”.
Ψ For Assistants, it is either “Acolyte” (alone) or “Acolyte ___”. “Assistant” can also be used in the same manner.
Newblood
Ψ For males, “Young Sir” can be used instead of their true name or second name. For females, “Young Madam” or “Young Miss” is the case. Concerning Love ♥ The most important rule concerning love and mating is that wolves mate for life in this pack! What this means is that once you have chosen a mate, you are life partners, and disregard for this sacred bond easily means exile without chance for return or death. This is to discourage flings and to keep the honor amongst the pack. For those entering breeding raffles, indeed you may put that the pair is in a mated pack.
♥ Secondly but equally important is the fact that wolves can only breed with others in The Order of the Rose. Mating with outsiders is absolutely forbidden, and as OOCly discouraged as much as it is ICly. Therefore, if a wolf does fall in love with someone not of the pack, the non-member must either join or break off the bonding. Should a wolf abandon the pack to join their lover, little mercy (if any) is given should either decide to try and return.
♥ The Process of Love: There are a set of base rules that a wolf must follow for courtship.
1. The wolves in question must both be at least of adolescent age before they can officially start keeping an eye out for potential mates.
2. Once a potential mate is found, they must interact with each other in at least 2-3 full length rps, be it with only themselves or with others, showing a growth of affection between the two. This is neccessary anyway if you're looking for a breeding! The couple has to be very sure that they are ready to only settle with one wolf for the rest of their lives.
3. One of the requirements before facing the alpha to consecrate the union is for both wolves in question to either tend to or locate a rose of their choosing to bring to their significant other. This rp is the only one required in the case of wanting marriage where it does not have to be with the one they are choosing to be mated with.
4. When this is accomplished, send a pm to either one of the alphas’ owners so that the couple may then proceed to be fully recognized as an official couple before the alphas and the pack.
5. If/When pups are born, if the parents so choose in the case of a large litter or other individual problems, the children may be given to designated pupsitters or close friends to watch over. A noble endeavor also is to allow a Citizen the chance to raise pups for certain periods of the day and allow another the chance to experience the joys of parenthood. The Order is mainly about family togetherness and trust after all.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxPack Membersxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The Grand Master // The Grand MistressWolf Name: Fantasia
Gender: Male
Second Name: White Rose
Personality: A born leader – if there was ever such a thing, Fantasia wants to emulate this concept. Since springing from Disneyana's womb and gaining enough sentience to know that they were having to take care of themselves, he has taken it upon himself to learn how to become the man of the house for his family. With a determined and set will, Fantasia aspires to become a magnificent alpha while taking care of his loved ones, though he is hard-pressed to show that affection at times since he is more about duty and honor than love. He feels as though he has been branded with the markings of a true leader, and thus must adhere to a strict code of ethics and training. The only things that seems to put Fantasia most at ease, besides the presence of all of his family members, would be the sound of music and the scent of roses.
Biography Blurb: Though born of humble origins, Fantasia was convinced from the moment of sentience that he was branded by fate to lead a great movement. The white shining rose and its red cousin on his sister Terabithia proved to be the inspiration he needed to form the concept of a future pack: where all were welcomed and hard labor was rewarded with honor and respect. He now works to this aim by training himself and scouting possibilities.Username: Buffy_the_Bloody
Wolf’s Name: Terabithia
Gender: Female
Second Name: Red Rose
Personality: Kind and understanding, this female does her best to make sure everyone around her is happy. She is smart, and inquisitive. She enjoys singing and listening to stories, and can be greatly pleased as an adult by her followers telling her such stories and new songs. She strives to be the best she can and will make a good, kind hearted leader to help with her brothers dominant and harsh nature. The Marshals // The SeneschalsUsername: Roxy_roxanna2

Personality: Yensid is the most quiet among his siblings, he is glad to observe and offer his opinions and advice. He lacks brute strength but is constantly honing his mind and quietly helping from the background.
Biography Blurb: Born to Allah and Disneyana and raised on the open meadow Yensid is a thoughtful male. He was raised to show courtesy to females and always considers others before himself.The Knights // The GuardiansThe Old BloodUsername: Roxy_roxanna2
Wolf’s Name: Disneyana
Gender: Female
Second Name: Blue Rose
Personality: A tender and motherly figure Disneyana's passion is for peace, quiet, and a life devoted to raising her children and her roses.
Biography Blurb: Disneyana lived alone alone among her roses for almost her entire life. She loves the open meadow and shies away from the forest believing it to be a dark and dangerous place. Unlike other wolves who are mainly meat eaters and learn to fight with fang and claw Disneyana has always taken a more defensive stance. She has learned to eat plants and herbs and instead of fighting she normally uses the thorns and brambles of the earth to defend herself. She is content now to watch and nurture her roses and her beloved pups in peace.The Lieutenants // The StewardsThe Squires // The AssissstantsThe NewbloodThe Citizens

[b]Wolf’s Name:[/b] [Uncerted link to image]

[b]Reasons for Joining:[/b] [Both IC and OOC matters, such as activity]
[b]Additional Notes:[/b] [For anything you wish to add, such as plot points for said wolf][/color][/size] It is preferred that there is a decent amount of adults for most of the positions before applying as a pup or teen. Remember that just because a position is restricted to one or two wolves does not mean it should discourage later applicants who arrive after three or so have sent in requests. Higher positions such as Seneschal and Marshal need a certain cooperation between your wolf and the alpha it wishes to serve, hence why roleplay is asked for. Username:JetAlmeara
Wolf’s Name: Chantily
Gender: Female
Second Name: Vivid Eyes
Position Wanted: Senechal or Knight/Guardian

In times of trouble she is not one to lead from behind but will rush the enemy from the frontlines.
Biography Blurb: Chantily was born in a pack filled ith wanton greed, as she grew the tan and white female saw the error of these ways and strove to change them from within fighting tooth and nail for a position from which she cold do so. The rest of the pack however were quite happy with this lazy privileged lifestyle and turned upon her as one. Forced to leave her home or die in fight she could not win she left.

She learned much from this wolf and returned to her home pack in hopes of finally setting them on the right path.
Upon her return she found it to be too late - the pack it seemed had been destroyed by their own lazy way's, too foolish to move to higher ground when a storm threatened and washed away in a flash flood. Chantily grieved for them - even as they had turned upon her she knew it was vice born of many years and did not blame them.
Still the past was the past and there was nothing she could do now to make it right.She has set off now with the hope of finding a new pack, once from which she can help to make a difference.
Reasons for Joining: The pack suits Chantily's personal belief's and hopes of finding a place where she can make a difference. Although she was young and untrained she harbors some guilt and personal shame in having been driven from her pack, she believes this was an act of cowardice and is saddened that she could never make it right. She seek's redemption for this personal guilt.
Additional Notes: I don't really have anything planned plot wise for chantily yet, after hearing about this pack a way's back I though she would be quite perfect for it and am open to any plots someone might want to start up.Username: Buffy_the_Bloody

Personality: Runescape is a sweet and tender wolf. Since she was a pup she cared for her fathers insanity till his death. She's great with other wolves, but shy and nervous around new wolves because she is a mute.
Biography Blurb: She was born to the alpha and alphis of a highly respected pack that was created for the purpose of taking in and helping others. Though at some point her fathers insanity and wanders became too much for his mother and most of the other packmates. So Runescape was the only one left to care for her father as his mental state slowly declined. Her mother then returned to Diego and in a fit of passion they conceived another litter of pups. Runescapes mother River abandoned the second brewd. Causing one of her sons Mistyk whom was abandoned vow to find his mother and kill her for abandoning him. He instead accidently kills his own father only finding this out from the straggling members that stayed around to help him. Runescape knew she couldn't stay in the territory any longer because wolves were only driven out by the storys and tales of the 'fearsome' crazied wolf that lived there. So with haste she turned on her tail and has been looking for a safe pack to flea to.
Reasons for Joining: Because I really wanted to brush the dust off of Rune. And this pack looks like a place that she could easily call home.
Additional Notes: After she settles in and makes friends I'd like to have her train for gaurdian. She would probally make a good healer.Username: ChaosTheories
Wolf’s Name: Yasen
Gender: Male
Second Name: Bright Eye
Position Wanted: Lieutenant
Personality: A cool and rather serious wolf, he isn't very inviting to strangers until they prove that they mean well. He is a wolf of few words but when he does speak, it is usually important. Sometimes, Yasen lets his emotions control him. He has a very short fuse and he is the type to jump to conclusions or into a fight with no warning whatsoever. He is also quite touchy about his scars and denies that he has a disability, even if he's in a situation where he might need help. In puppihood he was quick to trust others but in adulthood it takes a long time for others to gain his trust. When he does make a friend, however, another side of his personality shines through. He is very gentle and kind around wolves that he considers friends, especially if they are female.
Biography Blurb: As a pup Yasen lived with his parents in a pack far away from the forest. His parents were omegas and they were often give the jobs no one else wanted to do. Sometimes he wouldn't see them for days when they were sent on errands, and he became very lonely. One day by chance, he ran into Willow, the daughter of a very influential couple in the pack. They became fast friends, but Willow's parents forbade their friendship. He met Willow for the last time one night not expecting to find that her father had followed them. He attacked Yasen and left him for dead, carrying away a sobbing Willow.
But he still had enough strength to drag himself away from the pack border before collapsing. There a kindly wolf found him and nursed him back to health. He healed well except for the wound on his face, which left him with horrible scarring, a sealed eye, and a missing ear. His left side is particularly vulnerable to an ambush because of it, but he spent his teens training with his caretaker to overcome his weakness. During this time he gave up on ever seeing Willow again, though his scars always remind him of what he sacrificed for her friendship.
Reasons for Joining: IC, Yasen is looking for a new place where he can try to make a difference, and to try and prevent the cruelty he both witnessed and experienced in his natal pack. He also wants to refine the training he got to overcome his weaknesses into something more than a tool for his own survival.
OOC, because I plain just like the plot. xD And it would be fun to see how Yasen would develop in the environment.
Additional Notes: Yasen will need a strong wolf to command him, especially in situations where he might lose his temper. Rough around the edges, but his heart is in the right place. Username: Milorganite
Wolf’s Name: Cyclops
Gender: male
Second Name: I can't think of one at the moment. Perhaps it could be given to him in an joining RP or if he accomplishes something?
Position Wanted: Lieutenant/Steward to begin with, hopefully to become a knight or even a seneschal.
Personality: Once a cheerful, happy wolf, Cyclops is now weighed down by the death of his mate. He tries to do good wherever he can, and he is still patient and kind, but he does not like forming lasting friendships. He feels he must always move on. Cyclops has suffered several tragedies in his life--and they've all had him in common. He doesn't want to pass that curse on. (ripped from journal)
Biography Blurb: Cyclops was a lucky wolf in his childhood. He was born into a great pack, one of two sons. Though he was the bigger of the two boys, he loved his brother. Then came the fateful day when another pack of wolves attacked his own and claimed the territory. Cyclops knows his parents died in that fight, and he assumes his brother did, too. Blinded by the enemy, Cyke ran, blood and tears running from his eyes. He was found wandering by a human doctor who was birdwatching in the woods. The doctor caught the confused pup, brought him home, and stitched up his eyes. Knowing he could do little more than keep the wolf for a few days to make sure there was no infection, he released Cyke back into the woods.
Cyclops wandered, lost and afraid, until he met a wolf of diamonds who "took him in." In reality, he manipulated the young wolf, forcing him to steal, hunt, and kill for him. During this time, Cyclops honed his other senses. He can now find his way about in an almost uncanny fashion. He was rescued from this wolf by another pack; in the end, Cyclops killed his tormentor. In this new pack, he thought he had found happiness again--his mate. She was lovely, strong, and clever--but also hid an evil side. It revealed itself when she killed a litter of pups. Unable to live with herself, and knowing she would always be a danger to the pack, she killed herself. Cyke was present. He left that pack then, and has wandered since--a bit of a vigilante, occasionally joining a pack to help with a fight against other, less civil-minded wolves, but always leaving again. Depression and anger keep him from staying. (also ripped from journal)
Reasons for Joining: In character, Cyclops is lonely and thinks that maybe he ought to hang around with a pack for awhile (again) before moving on.
Out of character, Cyclops needs to get over himself and fulfill his potential of being a great warrior & leader.
Additional Notes: Um. "Needs to get over himself & fulfill his potential."Username: ChaosTheories
Wolf’s Name: Shiloh
Gender: Female
Second Name: Will edit in~ Or will discover it in rp
Position Wanted: Civilian (with knowledge around the level of lieutenant/steward)
Personality: A mild-mannered wolf, Shiloh can come off as shy. She chooses her words very carefully and will reflect on what others have said before speaking up. But her quietness does not mean that she is not confident in her abilities; it is just in her nature to be gentle. She will always speak up when she is needed. However, Shiloh can get a little carried away. She believes that her values (and as such, the pack values) are superior to all others, and she feels the need to 'correct' anyone who believes differently. Anyone who disagrees often ends up on her bad side, at least temporarily. Sometimes Shiloh will be more lenient when it comes to pups and youths who are just learning. She has a soft spot for youngsters, even if it does not always show.
Biography Blurb: The daughter of two loners and a drifter most of her uneventful life, Shiloh traveled across the forest in search of a place where she could settle and start anew, and where she could actually do something worthwhile.
Reasons for Joining: Pretty much the same as the bio. xD
Additional Notes: I was thinking that she could have trained to be a steward, but decided that she wasn't quite suitable for it, due to her personality. Her main job would be teaching youths the basics before they could be trained by other, more experienced wolves. Username: ChaosTheories
Wolf’s Name: Willow (Don't have uncert)
Gender: Female
Second Name: Would like to find through rp
Position Wanted: Civilian (To start)
Personality: Willow is very shy and reserved. She is a thinker, but she usually keeps her thoughts to herself. Her haunting dreams make her reluctant to tell other wolves about herself except if they are very good friends. She often has trouble sleeping because of her dreams and her personal fears, so she tends to wander more during the night, sleeping during the day since she believes it's safer to rest in the sunlight. As independent and as standoffish as she may seem, she longs for close relationships with others, since she hasn't had a real family or friends for a long time.
(Will change a little later on)
Biography Blurb: As a pup Willow lived with her parents in a pack far away from the woods. Her parents were overbearing with their rules, not interested in much else. She found a friend in a male pup named Yasen, but her parents immediately forbade the relationship. When Willow tried to see him one last time, her father severely wounded the male pup and left him for dead, right in front of her eyes. Willow does not know if he survived or not.
In her teens she ran from home, never looking back. She needed a place to escape to where there weren't rules and restrictions on everything she wanted to do. Seeking freedom, she found her way into the woods, where she began to seek refuge here and there, never really staying in one place for long.
As an adult she has spent most of her time drifting from place to place, though she wants to find a place to settle down. She has met a few wolves in her travels, but she is yet to form a strong connection with anyone. She still fears that she will be attacked and taken back to her old home, or that her male friend will appear to her as a ghost and exact his revenge on her. She is plagued by nightmares involving his death, his cause of death different in every dream.
(Though this will change too.)
Reasons for Joining: Willow is looking for a safe place, where she will know that she will not be bothered by hostile wolves. She will be looking for protection.
Additional Notes: Fwee~Username: shia bean
Wolf’s Name: Allister
Gender: Male
Second Name: THE LOCHNESS MONSTER. Eh, actually I’ll think of one shortly <333
Position Wanted: Lieutenant por favor
Personality: Aside from his strong sense of leadership, Allister is no different than any normal, sane, and functioning wolf. He has great morals, desires a mate, is kind and frugal and an all around honorable male. With no real ailments to the family, he is formidable for scouting, hunting, errand running; all of it!
>He hates fights, though is a fierce warrior if the situation calls for it, often trying to deter from an argument rather than instigate one.
>DOES have a hard time being completely submissive. He will protect who it is he must, but don’t talk down to him, he really doesn’t like it. :[
Biography Blurb: Again, rather normal in nature Allister was born to Jenna and Tristan, two technically ‘lone’ wolves, though I believe they were part of a pack when the kids were birthed. He grew up amongst his siblings, mother and father consistently caring for the young till he was a teenager, from which point he left the nest and began life on his own. There really weren’t many obstacles for him to stumble over, and in a way I suppose that makes him a little ‘wet behind the ears’, but in his adulthood he has gone through hunger, depression, and still sustains the same persona as he has always upheld.
Reasons for Joining: Well, OOCly I do like the concept, and for Allister IC, I could definitely see him being a part of the pack. He is devoted, and upholds honor as well as any wolf. I also needed him RP’d, and with his personality I didn’t want him to stay a lone forever.
Additional Notes: He’s up for anything, except dying. My baby can’t die. >[ <3333333Username: Cut_Me_Coffee
Wolf’s Name: Fawkes
Gender: Male
Second Name: Red Bird
Position Wanted: Knight
Personality: Friendly and helpful as can be, Fawkes is described as a gentlewolf. He roams the lands looking for people to help or talk to, even comfort from a broken heart. Terrified of two-leggers, Fawkes won't be found anywhere near where they've set up civilization. Currently, he's wandering by himself and thinking rather hard about his past life. He can remember bits and pieces, but nothing to major. Fawkes doesn't let himself be bothered by it, however, as the wolf is hardly bothered by anything anymore
Biography Blurb: Fawkes grew up in a good pack, with loving parents and lots of littermates to play with. The pack roamed, never really having a territory, which was a little hard on him when he was a pup. But, he grew up to help the smaller pups, giving them encouragement when he could, kind words. When he was a teen, he'd fallen in love with a female of his pack. He absolutely adored her since she was a puppy. While he watched her grow up, he realized that this female wouldn't want him. Fawkes was, and always will be, a bit of a push over. So he let those feelings go for her, which was hard, but it didn't break him. They were still friends until the day the pack was attacked by humans and he was forced to run for his life.
He never found any of his pack and has long since given up on it. He realized that, though they were family, he was alright without them. So he grew from teen to adult with the same helpful streak as always. Wanting everyone to be happy, wanting no more war and bloodshed. No more tears. He'll strive for everything.
Reasons for Joining: Looking for a place to fit in, he doesn't want to be alone anymore. He also wants to find others who will help him when it comes to helping others. Many times he's failed in his endeavors because he didn't have the help he needs.

Wolf’s Name: Alesdair
Gender: Male
Second Name: Forest _____, hopefully the second would be bestowed or come through from RP
Position Wanted: Knight, if too high, Lieutenant
Personality: His name means "defender of mankind"... but really he's a defender. Alesdair has a righteous sense of justice and values chivalry. He doesn't believe in cowardice. He doesn't look for fights to fight for himself but for others. He values honor and believes in defending those who cannot do it themselves. He thinks of the "evil" and unruly as those that need to be fought for the sake of others, for they are cowards.
Biography Blurb: Alesdair grew up knowing what was honor and such from his father. He helped others but all went south when horrible and cruel wolves took Alesdair's family from him, killing them like cowards and without honor. He is now looking for other wolves, a pack, kindred spirits, who like him hold values so dear to himself.
Reasons for Joining: IC, Alesdair is looking for other wolves just like him who hold values such as honor, chivalry, and self-righteousness dear to themselves. OOC- Kage thought the idea was awesome so this was her concept she submitted :3
Additional Notes: ... I customed him for here? *shot*Username: Chibi_Kokoro143
Wolf’s Name: Celt
Gender: Male
Second Name: None. May be given one during the Rp.
Position Wanted: Knight. If not, then the Grand Mistress or Grand Master may give him a position in their choocing
Personality:
Abandon when he was a pup, he was left to wander around fighting for servival and food. He became a warrior later on, testing the skills he learned to survive in this so called life. But in the case of so much bloodshed, he has stripped away all emotions. But he does have morals. He shall respect those who are higher them him, and treat elders with respect since they are wise beyond their years. He respects the women for they are their soul survival to breed and stay alive.
But....for Celt. He may never find companionship with his feelings gone. He believed that for how much blood he shed, the only repentance is to live and die alone in honor.
Who knows. May a female heal this soul and...make him feel alive once more.
Biography Blurb: None
Reasons for Joining: I would like my wolve to be involved more and I want to rp more and more. (Since being this is my first b/c shop and has special meaning to me) If given a higher rank. I would rp more actively.
Additional Notes: He may been given scars ((If Jade decides to add them)) to show how much he has suffered and how much he is still suffering.
Other then that. Good luck Celt.Username: Daeril-sama
Wolf’s Name: Shateiel (Moonlil is a common nickname she’ll answer to)
Gender: Female
Second Name: I would like this to be discovered through rp.
Position Wanted: Well, assistant for now, and advance to Citizen(may change) upon growth. If I do manage to promote her to a seer rank, then maybe her position will be questioned and may be moved to some other title.
Personality: Shateiel is a quiet thing, as her name suggests, but though she limits herself to a blunt conversation, that doesn't mean she will not voice her opinion. She is curious, inquisitive, challenging, and eager to make something of herself, feeling the need to contribute to life however and with however will be the most effective path. Though her appearance is rather dark, mysterious, the young she-wolf doesn't quite live up to the rumors that might spread about her (her quiet responses often fuel them, however). In fact, she is rather easygoing so long as you don't get in her way. To her, no matter what she is doing, the end justifies the means. Her will is formidable. And if feeling the need, she'll do whatever she can to get it is she wants, from information to some more tangible object. Regardless, she is usually friendly and easy to get along with.
Biography Blurb: Shateiel is the daughter of Grigor and an unnamed female he was mates with. However, despite how storybook perfect their relationship seemed to be going, Grigor snapped one afternoon, hearing voices telling him to kill the female. After the deed was done, he snapped out of his psychotic meltdown, noticing his newborn pups alone and bloody, and decided to leave them with Asiavik, a lone female who lived in the territory and he was on good terms with. From that point Shateiel lived with her surrogate family up until recently. Her brother was lost months ago and she presumes he is dead, and her surrogate mother just gave birth to a litter of pups with her mate, leaving the young she-wolf wondering what her place in the family is. She has been looking for something more, something she can involve herself in and not feel left behind.
Reasons for Joining: Excellent plot idea! As for Moonlil’s reason, her motivations are something she probably wouldn’t reveal, but I believe it would be a mix of feeling crowded with her adopted family and wanting a higher purpose, a place where she can feel needed and a valuable member of a greater cause.

Wolf’s Name: Numair
Gender: Male
Second Name: to be declared
Position Wanted: New blood but will strive to be a Seneschal
Personality: Nuamir is the more solid one of his group of obnoxious siblings. He is lead by his heart and level head, finding it impossible to say no to someone in need of help. This male detests when others are discriminated against and will rarely stand to see one being picked on by someone larger. Though he is small, he has a distinct personality seasoned in chivalry. Rarely does he let fear override his other senses, if groomed correctly he has the potential to be a natural leader underneath his thick pelt. Numair will rise to the occasion, but he doesn’t want all the responsibility of being a leader, he would rather be someone that advises and helps, but still has his own life at the end of the day and not be a beacon of hope for all of his subjects.
Biography Blurb: Numair grew up with his father and mother in a cave by a waterfall, his parents were both Lones at the time, and by giving birth to their children in the lone they were able to give their children freedom to choose their paths. Numair was always close with his sister Aranel, and in the future will be one of the only stable things in her life. They were always curious and more then once he got her out of a rock and a hard place, so he has practice at taking care of the weaker.
Reasons for Joining: Numair doesn’t really fit anyone’s description for a pack, he is strong, brave, and not cruel in the least. He is not afraid to make critical decisions and relishes being put under pressure, so it was only natural that I thought of sending him to the rose. He is respectful and always willing to help those in need, and all of the requirements/rules sounded like things he already lives by, so here we are.

Wolf’s Name: Chantily
Gender: Female
Second Name: Vivid Eyes
Position Wanted: Marshal, possibly Sensechal
Personality: Chantily is quite firmly set on making the world a better place for all wolves to live in, she believes strongly in the addage 'group before individual" and expects those with her to live up to this ideal. She believes that all things good must be worked for and so is ever striving to better herself and encouraging those around her to do the same. In times of trouble she is not one to lead from behind but will rush the enemy from the frontlines.
Biography Blurb: Chantily was born in a pack filled ith wanton greed, as she grew the tan and white female saw the error of these ways and strove to change them from within fighting tooth and nail for a position from which she cold do so. The rest of the pack however were quite happy with this lazy privileged lifestyle and turned upon her as one. Forced to leave her home or die in fight she could not win she left. Still young and with much to learn she spent several years with a grizzled old warrior whose life of fighting had eventually wore him down. She learned much from this wolf and returned to her home pack in hopes of finally setting them on the right path.
Upon her return she found it to be too late - the pack it seemed had been destroyed by their own lazy way's, too foolish to move to higher ground when a storm threatened and washed away in a flash flood. Chantily grieved for them - even as they had turned upon her she knew it was vice born of many years and did not blame them.
Still the past was the past and there was nothing she could do now to make it right.She has set off now with the hope of finding a new pack, once from which she can help to make a difference.
Reasons for Joining: The pack suits Chantily's personal belief's and hopes of finding a place where she can make a difference. Although she was young and untrained she harbors some guilt and personal shame in having been driven from her pack, she believes this was an act of cowardice and is saddened that she could never make it right. She seek's redemption for this personal guilt.
Additional Notes: I don't really have anything planned plot wise for chantily yet, after hearing about this pack a way's back I though she would be quite perfect for it and am open to any plots someone might want to start up.

Wolf’s Name: Runescape
Gender: Female
Second Name: N/A
Position Wanted: I lost all her old RPs n-n() But right now Citizen is fine for her.
Personality: Runescape is a sweet and tender wolf. Since she was a pup she cared for her fathers insanity till his death. She's great with other wolves, but shy and nervous around new wolves because she is a mute.
Biography Blurb: She was born to the alpha and alphis of a highly respected pack that was created for the purpose of taking in and helping others. Though at some point her fathers insanity and wanders became too much for his mother and most of the other packmates. So Runescape was the only one left to care for her father as his mental state slowly declined. Her mother then returned to Diego and in a fit of passion they conceived another litter of pups. Runescapes mother River abandoned the second brewd. Causing one of her sons Mistyk whom was abandoned vow to find his mother and kill her for abandoning him. He instead accidently kills his own father only finding this out from the straggling members that stayed around to help him. Runescape knew she couldn't stay in the territory any longer because wolves were only driven out by the storys and tales of the 'fearsome' crazied wolf that lived there. So with haste she turned on her tail and has been looking for a safe pack to flea to.
Reasons for Joining: Because I really wanted to brush the dust off of Rune. And this pack looks like a place that she could easily call home.
Additional Notes: After she settles in and makes friends I'd like to have her train for gaurdian. She would probally make a good healer.

Wolf’s Name: Yasen
Gender: Male
Second Name: Bright Eye
Position Wanted: Lieutenant
Personality: A cool and rather serious wolf, he isn't very inviting to strangers until they prove that they mean well. He is a wolf of few words but when he does speak, it is usually important. Sometimes, Yasen lets his emotions control him. He has a very short fuse and he is the type to jump to conclusions or into a fight with no warning whatsoever. He is also quite touchy about his scars and denies that he has a disability, even if he's in a situation where he might need help. In puppihood he was quick to trust others but in adulthood it takes a long time for others to gain his trust. When he does make a friend, however, another side of his personality shines through. He is very gentle and kind around wolves that he considers friends, especially if they are female.
Biography Blurb: As a pup Yasen lived with his parents in a pack far away from the forest. His parents were omegas and they were often give the jobs no one else wanted to do. Sometimes he wouldn't see them for days when they were sent on errands, and he became very lonely. One day by chance, he ran into Willow, the daughter of a very influential couple in the pack. They became fast friends, but Willow's parents forbade their friendship. He met Willow for the last time one night not expecting to find that her father had followed them. He attacked Yasen and left him for dead, carrying away a sobbing Willow.
But he still had enough strength to drag himself away from the pack border before collapsing. There a kindly wolf found him and nursed him back to health. He healed well except for the wound on his face, which left him with horrible scarring, a sealed eye, and a missing ear. His left side is particularly vulnerable to an ambush because of it, but he spent his teens training with his caretaker to overcome his weakness. During this time he gave up on ever seeing Willow again, though his scars always remind him of what he sacrificed for her friendship.
Reasons for Joining: IC, Yasen is looking for a new place where he can try to make a difference, and to try and prevent the cruelty he both witnessed and experienced in his natal pack. He also wants to refine the training he got to overcome his weaknesses into something more than a tool for his own survival.
OOC, because I plain just like the plot. xD And it would be fun to see how Yasen would develop in the environment.
Additional Notes: Yasen will need a strong wolf to command him, especially in situations where he might lose his temper. Rough around the edges, but his heart is in the right place.

Wolf’s Name: Cyclops
Gender: male
Second Name: I can't think of one at the moment. Perhaps it could be given to him in an joining RP or if he accomplishes something?
Position Wanted: Lieutenant/Steward to begin with, hopefully to become a knight or even a seneschal.
Personality: Once a cheerful, happy wolf, Cyclops is now weighed down by the death of his mate. He tries to do good wherever he can, and he is still patient and kind, but he does not like forming lasting friendships. He feels he must always move on. Cyclops has suffered several tragedies in his life--and they've all had him in common. He doesn't want to pass that curse on. (ripped from journal)
Biography Blurb: Cyclops was a lucky wolf in his childhood. He was born into a great pack, one of two sons. Though he was the bigger of the two boys, he loved his brother. Then came the fateful day when another pack of wolves attacked his own and claimed the territory. Cyclops knows his parents died in that fight, and he assumes his brother did, too. Blinded by the enemy, Cyke ran, blood and tears running from his eyes. He was found wandering by a human doctor who was birdwatching in the woods. The doctor caught the confused pup, brought him home, and stitched up his eyes. Knowing he could do little more than keep the wolf for a few days to make sure there was no infection, he released Cyke back into the woods.
Cyclops wandered, lost and afraid, until he met a wolf of diamonds who "took him in." In reality, he manipulated the young wolf, forcing him to steal, hunt, and kill for him. During this time, Cyclops honed his other senses. He can now find his way about in an almost uncanny fashion. He was rescued from this wolf by another pack; in the end, Cyclops killed his tormentor. In this new pack, he thought he had found happiness again--his mate. She was lovely, strong, and clever--but also hid an evil side. It revealed itself when she killed a litter of pups. Unable to live with herself, and knowing she would always be a danger to the pack, she killed herself. Cyke was present. He left that pack then, and has wandered since--a bit of a vigilante, occasionally joining a pack to help with a fight against other, less civil-minded wolves, but always leaving again. Depression and anger keep him from staying. (also ripped from journal)
Reasons for Joining: In character, Cyclops is lonely and thinks that maybe he ought to hang around with a pack for awhile (again) before moving on.
Out of character, Cyclops needs to get over himself and fulfill his potential of being a great warrior & leader.
Additional Notes: Um. "Needs to get over himself & fulfill his potential."

Wolf’s Name: Shiloh
Gender: Female
Second Name: Will edit in~ Or will discover it in rp
Position Wanted: Civilian (with knowledge around the level of lieutenant/steward)
Personality: A mild-mannered wolf, Shiloh can come off as shy. She chooses her words very carefully and will reflect on what others have said before speaking up. But her quietness does not mean that she is not confident in her abilities; it is just in her nature to be gentle. She will always speak up when she is needed. However, Shiloh can get a little carried away. She believes that her values (and as such, the pack values) are superior to all others, and she feels the need to 'correct' anyone who believes differently. Anyone who disagrees often ends up on her bad side, at least temporarily. Sometimes Shiloh will be more lenient when it comes to pups and youths who are just learning. She has a soft spot for youngsters, even if it does not always show.
Biography Blurb: The daughter of two loners and a drifter most of her uneventful life, Shiloh traveled across the forest in search of a place where she could settle and start anew, and where she could actually do something worthwhile.
Reasons for Joining: Pretty much the same as the bio. xD
Additional Notes: I was thinking that she could have trained to be a steward, but decided that she wasn't quite suitable for it, due to her personality. Her main job would be teaching youths the basics before they could be trained by other, more experienced wolves.
