 First and foremost.
My goals for this endevor are to create a very diverse pack, something that will be fun to RP often and with good friends that are good roleplayers to boot.
---------
We're open for applications and suggestions, so have at it. <3

WE'VE A TALE TO TELL
This would be a non-Balkar pack. This is not to say that former Balkar are not welcome to join at later points.
The general backstory is an overall average, but a long and deep history nonetheless.
---------
Vidar was the largest pup of his father's first litter, as he grew it became known his desire to challenge his aging father's rule. It did bode well with the pack, because all could see in him the air of authority and the traits that would make for them a great leader. Vidar was very young when he overthrew his father, and in his fervor he unintentionally inflicted a fatal wound upon his sire. Even with the mother having passed some time ago, when he fell to infection the pack mourned silently for his loss, but most turned with bright eyes to their new Dragga.
When humans began to move into his pack's lands, Vidar and his were forced to flee from their home that raised so many generations. Chased as swordtip and horseback by humans. The Dragga's once proud pack had been halved. Too old or young to survive, felled at the blade, or simply lost in the winter's snows that ravaged them as they departed. Among these tragedies was the death of the Drappa, Vidar's beloved mate who fell to the sword of a stray human. Vidar was quick to avenge her death by killing the offender when he discovered her broken body and the assailant standing over her. Though she bore no pups to him, she was warm and kind and loved by all.
From that point it was slow going and a life of vagabonds and gypsies. A ghostly Dragga and his followers traveling through territory after territory under Larka's blessing looking for a place to settle. When they found it many were quick to rejoice their new territory, a land of hills and trees not too different from their former home, holding both forest and plains and boasting abundant prey, deer and rabbit alike. As they try to settle in there are many things going on. Scouts moving thought, new hopes and revelations, and the Dragga's decree allowing free breeding to all, a wise choice to help restore the pack to its former glory.
---------
Key Points:
Vidar is the current Dragga and stands unchallenged.
He is not actively looking for a mate, but is open.
Free breeding rights until further notice, but remember that actual breedings being open is as the discretion of the colorists.

THE LAND
Their territory looks thus and is situated at the fringes of the Carpathian Mountains, west of where Buzau is located. [Also see: Map of Romania.] You can spot Buzau in the mid southeast. The town dates back to 376 AD, 4th century AD, and as a market town since 1431, so I'm relatively sure its around in the shop's time period. Which means the town exists some 38 miles to the east. The Hills are situated far from any human towns or settlements, though. Their borders are some 225 miles around and extend only eight miles to the west-southwest verses 35 miles to the east, northeast 45mi, and as many as 61 miles to the north. Covering a range of approximately 680 square miles which is, in fact, rather large. They keep a territory that size because, in the winter, prey becomes rather scarce.
Pictures of the territory:
Autumn, Buzau River, Hillside, Lake Siriu, The Plains, Mud Volcanoes.
Their new lands are much, much larger, bounded only by mountains on the north and northwest. In their old home they lived in cold, snows in those places and more ice. Earth hilly and forested alike. The large amount of reindeer and pasture in the area attracted the humans that drove them away.
The land is mostly mountain foothills, bordered to the remaining flanks by plains and human settlements far to the east. Forest lies within their territory, up to the lake somewhat far beyond the fringes of the trees, and stretches to the opposing side of Siriu as far as the treeline and the ends of prey on the mountains. It snows here often during winter, but is warm and bountiful in the summer and spring. Lake Siriu is tucked within the hills, and just atop the hillock you see across the lake lies Vidar's den, In actuality about 2 miles east-southeast of the lake edge. Those hills are where the pack is majorly situated. There are mud volcanoes some a day's travel from the territory, but the area is forbidden for safety and its being close to the human villages. Most adventurous pups will go there at some point nonetheless.
---------
Prey items include small rodents of the vole, hare, and mouse persuasion. Followed closely by squirrels. Eagles are not a uncommon sight in the hills, but none prey on the flying puntar. Big game varies from sheep in the footstones closer to the mountains, deer, and reindeer as they migrate through. Small birds as well, of course, sparrows and the ilk.

THE PEOPLE
What I'm looking for are people who, on a regular basis, make it a point to type correctly and reflect the same care on their RP. While this pack is not RP required, save for the actual shop's RP requirements, I'm sure everyone has a better time communicating with people who have a care for their words. This pack IS literacy required.
Capitalization.
Grammar.
Punctuation.
Whenever possible is all I ask. You don't have to write like Shakespeare, but you do have to type intelligibly, namely in RP.
This is not to say I'll turn you down if you make a few mistakes, but if you type like a monkey I just might.
Smilies are fine.
OUTSIDE of RP.
---------
FAIRNESS
KINDNESS
LITERACY
And we'll get along fine. <3

Username: Ryuukishin
Wolf's Position: Sikla (He's a Gamma now, but I'm working on de-ranking him.)
Origin: New Member, I suppose, seeing as in all of his RPs, he mentions looking for a new pack. xD
Brief History: Mm quick version:
1. His parents ran off when people came close to his den.
2. Random dog found him and took him in.
3. He lived in a village.
4. Peeps find out he's a wolf as he grows and chases him out.
5. He finds a lone Kerl, learns how to survive in the wild with the Kerl's help, and eventually joins a pack.
6. He was kicked out during famine because he was, to put it simply, worthless. xD He sucks at hunting, lemme tell you. |D
7. Now he's looking around for a pack to join, 'cause he's a wimp and doesn't want to be alone. Yeah. He's probably clingy, too. o3o

Kay. C: Just wanted to make sure since I don't think it's listed under "The Wolves" section? o3o -unsure if it was on purpose or not because Tsusu's mind works in strange ways- 8D
Edit: Mmkay, I see teens now. Pretend I never typed anything. |D

Brief History: Woo. :3
[1] Not much is known except that he and his brother Cross were born in Russia, which attributes to their large sizes.

Username: Jellybeans Toes
Wolf's Position: Sikla
Origin: Reunited
Brief History: From the time that they left their birth pack, Miora always followed her sister, Moria. They joined the first pack they found that would accept them- Vidar's. When the rest of the pack left for new territory, they went, too. During the journey, Miora stayed slightly behind the main pack, especially when one of her hind paws caught a thorn. Seeing her weakened state, a hungry adolescent bear attacked. Miora's sister and a couple other pack mates came to her rescue, managing to kill the bear, but Moria was killed in the process. Miora herself seemed to be dying from the wounds she'd sustained. Due to an oncoming storm, however, the pack could not stay to ease her journey. They left her in the snow near the bodies of Moria and the bear. When the storm came, Miora managed to build a snow cave next to the dead bear. She ate its meat for days. When the storm passed, Miora realized that she could walk, if only barely. She stumbled after the pack. Sheer luck kept her fed and on the right path until she was recovered and had found her pack-mates.

Username: Ol-j-man/Mediciner
Wolf's Position: Currently Gamma, working towards Beta eventually (I fail at getting rps is all x.x)
Origin: New Member
Brief History:
In note form: Grew up in the snowy mountains with momma Beta and daddy Sikla. Meme wanted to be just like momma in rank but never got the chance. As an adolescent, storm came over moutnains. Biiiiiiiig rocks. Lotsa snow. Chaos. Territory crumbled 'round them, separated them all pretty much. Merrill left to wander down for a safer location with some altitude or nearby mountains because that was the only climate she felt comfortable in. Thinks self a failure for not achieving beta status like momma and perhaps being able to help more in the escaping. Wants to find a pack to restart her life in.
