 (He's grown, I just don't have his adult image.)The Pythaeon Pack
(after too many years of math homework on the Pythagorean Theorum words start to stick .__.)
A pack based primarily around a medieval-type system, the Pythaeon Pack often functions like many other packs, but varies in that it has a firm love of spying, and is more than welcome to embrace most familiars into its ranks.
The pack is not maliciously inclined, nor is it an easily pushed over group.
The wolves and familiars in this pack strive to maintain a stable and functioning pack, and to keep all members safe from outside attacks and demands.
The utilization of spies is to ensure that other packs or lone wolves are unable to create plans to attack the Pythaeon Pack or harm its members without them knowing.
Even allies are spied on here and there, but only to ensure that the pack is true to its claims of friendship towards the Pythaeon members.
Familiars are valued just as equally as wolves, so long as their swear their allegiance to the King. The only exception being deer, as the wolves themselves eat their fair share of deer meat.

History
The Pythaeon Pack has a large variety of personalities and personal histories. As paths collided during undesirable times a small group of wolves banned together to seek revenge on those that had wronged them, and on the world in which they found little satisfaction. They made few attempts to improve their good qualities and instead set out to ruin others. Which worked out fine and dandy for them until a formerly shunned member returned and over-threw the alpha Xipetotec. Thus began the reform of the pack.
Past Events
Pack begins as the Black Merchant Pack
Gifted by Meskeet the seer unto Xipetotec
Xipetotec & Kiah have their first litter
Their pups are much hated
Malady & Cizin have their first litter
Their pups mostly run away
Kraken & Amoy take Lestat as a slave
Lestat ignores them
Kraken & Amoy make Alianne a slave
Alianne's life becomes fail
Rosto & Crookshank join
They are generally not welcome
Meskeet disappears
Paranoia sets in
Sickness afflicts entire pack
Alianne is shunned as the cause of the sickness
Alia returns with Kiann and Soweto to over-throw Xipe
Alia, Kiann, and Soweto fail
Lestat teams up with Soweto and over-throws Xipe w/ packmembers' help
Rosto and Crookshank slip out the back door
Lestat renames pack, and appoints himself alpha
Kraken, Kiah, and Xipetotec are no where to be found
But no one really bothered to look
Malady & Cizin have their second litter
This is regarded with no enthusiasm
Malexxi raises her parent's litter
This is expected
Lestat struggles to rebuild the pack
And still struggles

Territory
The Pythaeon Packlands are home to a variety of different types or terrain. From rocky cliffs to sinking sand these lands are best navigated with a more experienced guide until a wolf has learned where to go, and where not to. While most of the land is covered by dense forest, a good portion of it extends up the jagged face of a mountainside littered with multiple caves.
Be careful not to become lost or stuck somewhere. Even if these packmembers hear your cries, they won't always be the first creature to come to your rescue.
Perhaps the most noticeable, and avoided part of the packlands are in the furthest section of the forest. The trees grow terribly close together, and bushes seem to grow just as tall. Vines snake all over the place, and the forest forms a labyrinth. This is the Pythalocreon Labyrinth, and it's said that the cannibalistic seer Meskeet lives at its heart.

Ranks
Members may hold multiple ranks upon IC discussion.
All roles except King and Queen may be held by familiars.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
King: In ‘charge’ the King is equal to, at times, the Advisors. Members of the pack follow the King’s lead and he is expected to be strong enough to ensure the survival of the pack.
Queen: Mate to King, depending on their relations she may not necessarily be his lover, or at least his only lover. Equal rank to King, and takes his place in his absence.
Advisor: Whomever holds the rank of King is often busy. Because of this there are Advisors to the King. The Advisors inform the King of what is and should happen. There can be one or many. They can out-rank the alpha if it is the best interest of the pack.
Spy Master: In charge of knowing the identity and whereabouts of all pack spies and even enemy spies the Spy Master is sworn to secrecy. Not even Advisors know all spies under the Spy Master. There is only one wolf who will hold this rank. They will confer with the King or his Advisors, but mainly with any pack Seers. They are also incharge of keeping the pack spies in line.
Provost: The main disciplinarian under the King the Provost is expected to ensure the protection of the pack. The Provost must also ensure that all rules are being followed. Under their command are guards. High gammas, betas, or alpha-like wolves may hold this position. There is generally only one Provost. Provost may be male or female.
Lord: A more dignified role for the pack. Lords have often served time as guards, or at least are capable of defending themselves if the need came to it. They are often higher bred. While they aren't required to deal with Princes and Princesses, they are generally considered to be about the same level, just more appealing to be around. These are often males on beta or gamma lines.
Lady: A more dignified role for the pack. Ladies have often been lures or nannies, or at least are higher bred. Also considered to be the same level as Princes and Princesses, Ladies are some of the more respected members of the pack, as they are expected to be wise and helpful. These are often females on beta or gamma lines.
Vagabond: Not required to stay within the pack at all times it is generally preferred that these wolves seldom make appearances. Much like spies vagabonds generally have two specific tasks. They can either wander free range in search of potential members or allies, or they can be sent to quietly follow any wolves deemed potential threats. Some times they will be required to carry out small tasks away from the pack.
Princess: Diplomats for the pack. A Princess is expected to be a speaker for the pack. They will meet with wolves from other packs and befriend them, or carry out any other intentions. They are expected to have dignity, and have a way with words and other wolves, or at least be a good enough pretender to fool those they talk with. To satisfy them Lures are generally expected to attend Princesses when not engaged in other activities. Due to the general obnoxious behavior of Princesses it is generally frowned upon to have more than one, unless the Princess in question is actually kind. If Princes and Princesses have puppies together those pups can assume the role of Prince/Princess through little effort. One does not have to be a descendant from the King to be a princess.
Prince: Also diplomats for the pack. Much like Princesses except fitted for males. Lures are not required to attend to Princes, though some do, and for the most part Princes can boss around low ranking scouts or guards. Princes are expected to accompany Princesses if they are present in the pack. Due to the general arrogant behavior of Princes it is generally frowned upon to have more than one, unless the Prince in question is actually kind. If Princes and Princesses have puppies together those pups can assume the role of Prince/Princess through little effort.
Spy: Unlike Vagabonds Spies can either remain watchfully inside the pack or plant themselves in an enemy group. While they mainly exract information from enemies it isn't unheard of to find them even in ally packs. Spies can relay learned information to some trusted Vagabonds, but mainly report to either pack Seers or the Spy Master. Spies sometimes carry out small parts of pack plots and generally should not draw much attention to themselves. In some cases spies must be willing to save themselves as the pack will not always be near enough to aid them should they be discovered.
Lure: Likely the only 'seductive' rank Lures are generally meant to be distractions. In any situation Lures are supposed to draw attention away from the pack and to themselves. Lures are especially useful in ambushes or kidnapping attempts. Lures are generally adolescents or young adults. Primarily a female role there can be males if they fit well enough to the task.
Guards: Pack Guards are expected to keep intruders out and protect the pack lands. They must be willing to fight when needed. There are three variants of the guard position:
High Guard - Often seen with the Provost High Guards are the muscle of the pack. Whether through strength or cunning these wolves are the best of the guards. High Guards deal mostly with wolves outside the pack to prevent threats from making their way into the pack.
Common Guard - Allowed to command over Lower Guards to an extent Common Guards' main concern to to ensure that pack members are all filling their roles. If a pack member is being bullied by another member Common Guards will sometimes be allowed to aid the member and straighten matters out so the pack can function normally. Common Guards deal mostly with wolves inside the pack and domestic issues.
Lower Guard - The lowest of the guards these wolves are concerned mainly with the pack lands themselves. Often seen amongst scouts, Lower guards are expected to ensure the pack boarders are secure. If enemies are able to infiltrate the pack it is considered a fault of the Lower Guards. Lower Guards deal mostly with scouts and perimeter security.
Scout: As their name implies, scounts are constantly on the look-out for the pack. Often enough they're on the lookout for new members as well. Close in friendship and role to spies, scouts are some of the more adventurous members of the pack, when they aren't stuck in one place at least.
Groom: Those that serve the Provost and the King. These are not guards, though they had some similarities. Grooms are wolves that are either vying for the Provost's position, or want to be personal attendants to the King. As such, they have a considerable amount of power in the pack, and would be regarded as higher than Lords. Grooms are the closest to warriors that the pack gets. When the King retires, he may very well select his replacement from the grooms.
Consort: Consorts are generally not members of the pack. This role is reserved for mates or love-interests that are lones, or belong to other packs. These wolves are welcome at any time on packlands.
Weaver: The role of the weaver varies within the pack. While weavers typically only have one skill, they are usually excellent at it. Weavers are not limited to simple arts and crafts, they can be fishermen or gatherers.
Common: It is not bad to be a common, it just doesn't really mean anything. Commons are at the bottom of the ranking level. They usually lack skills or confidence, and so are generally either ignored by the pack, or taken on by other members until they learn enough about themselves and other jobs to obtain a higher rank.

Customs
If you do not already have a wolf or familiar, but would like to join in the pack you may custom a member in.
There are no specific rules for coloration or personality.
Wolves or familiars that are very cruel or constantly in some blood lust will not be tolerated by Sisky if they begin to get in the way of things too often.
You're more than welcome to custom members of Lestat or Cizin/Trystan's extended family, as long as you work out the details with me. :]

Current Plots
Sisky needs to build a strong pack foundation as well as get it to become an actual and established pack.
Rats Rats Rats!
Since their disappearance from the old pack lands, Kraken and Xipetotec have found entirely new roles to fill. After a vicious fight the two found themselves at the bottom of a gorge where they fought off and killed a large snake. Kraken then found herself Queen of a population of cave rats living at the bottom of the gorge, with Xipetotec as her unwitting prisoner. Yes, being blind works out well when you're living under ground. With Keegan and Bree available to do Kraken's dirty work back on the surface, these four (as well as Kraken's rats) are open to plots for those interested.

Username: numbahx1xnobody
Name of wolf/familiar: Lookaz
Picture of wolf/familiar: -- I'd like to wait until her adult image is ready, as that's when I'd like her to join. Hope this isn't a problem.
Wolf/familiar gender: Female
Short history: Raised by an overprotective mother and a push over father. She lived a quiet kithood, never got into fights. Her mother and father always thought of her as the baby of the litter, smaller and thinner. But Lookaz wanted more out of life, so she went searching for a pack.
Brief personality description: Kazzy is very old-fashioned in her mind-set. A follower, not a leader. She was raised to be very gentle, and though she can be a bit vain sometimes, never tries to offend people. Often, Lookaz looks down upon herself in the heiarchy, feeling that males should always be above and higher than her.
Why you want them to join: I've always loved medival style packs, and it sounds like Lookaz would be at home here, due to her personality.
Preferred rank(s): Lure
