● Joining, Breeding Updates, and Promotions

[NymiiNym]

If you wish to join then please check the posts below and fill out the correct forms! You also can request promotions (as long as you've reached the requirements). In the event you wish to have your wolf banished or they die please DM/PM Nymphiea to discuss the removal of your wolf and any RPs that could follow up to the event.

Breeding puppies must also use the correct form to be added onto the roster, as information on desired role and parents need to be known. If a form is not posted, Nymphiea will reach out by the time the puppy is an adult to check in. As The Crows are very puppy orientated to the point they encourage stealing all the puppies from a rogue breeding, it is unlikely a puppy will be turned away from the pack. Usually, something must have happened for them to have lost a pup.

Please read carefully the options below. This is for non-breeding entrants. There are two options presented; joining as an entirely new member, or joining and claiming the wolf has been a part of The Crows prior. As a cautionary, once the pack grows in size enough the option to join as a pre-existing pack member will be removed.


Joining as a new member means your wolf was never a part of The Crows and has intent to join. Due to the cautious nature of the pack, new members are not permitted onto pack lands without being blindfolded originally. Once they are within the pack territory, their blindfold is removed and they must go through a trial to prove their worth. This trial requires the wolf to be completely silent and not move from their spot for 24 straight hours. Pack members are permitted to tempt with food, poke at the wolf, and try and strike a conversation. Failure to remain silent and still will result in being denied entry. Sleeping, eating, and drinking also counts as a failure. You are not permitted to try again.

Once the trial is over, the wolf must state their request to join to the Alpha and why they'd be a good member.

All new entrants must go through this trial except puppies. This includes members joining to be with their mate. Puppies, however, are instantly granted access. Please only enter a puppy if they were not born within the pack. Born-in puppies have their own forms to follow.

You must post your trial in the forum with the tag [TRIAL] before the title of the RP. It can be as long as you like, but it must detail the wolf and their trial experience. You may assume wolves interfered with the trial and RP nameless members bothering the wolf in question. You may not RP a specific member, and you may not involve another pack member. This is a solo RP. You may also choose to draw the trial experience. You must end your trial RP with the wolf telling the Alpha why they wish to join and how they'd be a good member. It is safe to assume once successfully staying awake/not moving during the trial they will be brought to Big Bad.

Currently, due to how small the pack is and the fact it is an old pack, you may request your wolf has already been a member of The Crows. This will be removed once the pack is at a more reasonable size.

If you choose to go this route, your wolf does not need to go through a trial as they already are a member.

Not all members were brought willingly. Wolves who have been captured and forced into the pack as a prisoner will have to fill out this form. Your wolf can be captured for multiple reasons, which include but are not limited to; having broken a contract/refused to pay after a job is done, trespassing, stealing from the pack, resisted a raid, betraying the pack, and more. You can fill out why your wolf is a prisoner in the form.

If you plot with a Crow member you may also claim a specific wolf captured said prisoner. A prisoner system will be released soon for prisoners! This system will allow wolves to 'do their time' and, if the owner wishes, either be released or become a member of the pack.

Pack members who give birth are automatically assumed to bring their puppies into the pack. Big Bad emphasizes the importance of puppies whenever he can. Breeding's with two pack members are of little concern and it's generally assumed the pups will also stay within the pack, however rogue breeding's have pressure that follows. The pack prioritizes the pack and heavily encourages stealing all the puppies as soon as possible to bring into the pack.

There are exceptions, of course. The Sand Raiders are a close ally and both packs happily allow breeding's to be split between them. They also are accepting of a Sand Raider and Crow lifemating. Generally, a breeding with a Sand Raider will result in as even as a split as they can get with the puppies.


Puppies born into the pack still must post a form, as information is need on parents and role. You are not required to post as a group, although you can. Generally, whatever is easiest on the owners is best. This form is specifically for puppies born into the pack.

Breeding puppies do not need to go through a trial!

Every member starts at the basic level of their rank. Through proof of their skills and merit, a wolf can become a Head of certain ranks. While not all ranks allow for Head positions, those that do rely on Head members to help direct those within that rank and command other wolves.

Head members will be one of the firsts to be called to the Alpha during meetings and trying times. With the rank comes great respect and responsibility. It is seen as their duty to ensure their rank works smoothly.


To apply for a Head position, you most first go through a few requirements. Beta ranks are also considered Head positions, although higher. They too have their own requirements, which can be found below. Before looking to see if your wolf can become a Head rank, please check that the position is open here.


Head Position Requirements:

• [1] RP with another pack member.
  
• [1] Job RP completed.
  
• [1] Monthly Prompt finished.
  
• [1] RP with the Alpha where they will give out the promotion.


Beta Requirements:

• [2] RPs with another pack member.
  
• [2] Job RP completed.
  
• [1] Monthly Prompt finished.
  
• [1] RP with the Alpha where they will give out the promotion.

While familiars are welcomed as long as they're bonded with a wolf, birds are of most importance. It's no secret the pack prizes crows the most. In fact, they love them so much that they've become important to pack proceedings. Crow familiars are used to communicate messages quickly and effectively. Crows are the only familiar that does not need a bonded wolf to join the pack.


When a crow arrives it is often to deliver a message. Certain crows are specifically used to give out precise messages. A crow is always assigned a "meaning". Sometimes, things are moving too fast to stop and listen to a bird. Instead, the pack relies on sending crows and their arrival alone meaning something. Common examples are a crow representing death, birth, or danger. You can find the complete list of the birds currently in the pack and their meaning here.

Position Wanted: Guard

Big Bad laughed lowly as the brilliant coated wolf was brought before him. They had withstood the trial, and with that a smile plastered on his face. Forbidden Oath sat beside him -- the very wolf who had tried to break him with a brush of her tail and a flirtatious smile. Gone were her playful eyes. Instead, pride washed over her.

Another Crow.

"You did well! Welcome to your new home," Big Bad barked, pleased with the strong male before him. What story will this wolf tell?

Wolf Name: Snake Bite

Brief Personality: Sly and stealthy, despite his rather eye-catching coat, Snake Bite is a thief in the night (not literally, but you get the picture). While he moonlights as a Scout, this Gossip fits his position to a T. He loves knowledge and information and all the power that can come from it. Although he recognizes he will likely never be a Claw, he deeply enjoys the leverage holding information can give him. That being said, he isn't the type to hide knowledge from his superiors - in fact, he is more likely to spill the beans specifically because he yearns to be liked and respected by them.

Snake is a flirt with all genders, in part because it's fun, but mostly because it helps him become more liked by the recipient wolf. It's a tactic used to ensure he's trusted by those he seeks to use. Though it is notable that he's not a malicious wolf, just a very clever one that puts the livelihood of the pack first, no matter what.
Position Wanted: Gossip (although he will be known as a Scout in the public eye)

Big Bad remembers this wolf, and well. He's been the recipient of their attempts for approval and honestly he doesn't mind it. He's willing to give Snake Bite the praise he needs if it puts his pack-member at rest. Not only that, but Snake Bite has proven their usefulness as a Gossip. While to the public eye he may be a Scout, Big Bad and Snake Bite know the truth.

Wolf Name: Milky Way

Brief Personality: Milky Way is on the outside a very cheerful and hilarious wolf who loves his job. On the inside, Milky Way has had a bit of a twisted history that has made him hard to get to know beyond his humour. Otherwise he is a very cunning wolf who comes by acquaintances fairly easily. He is very loyal to the Crows and feels indebted to the pack for now banishing him alongside his bird murdering birth mother.
Position Wanted: Assassin or Gossip - If Gossip he will be a Guard to the pack.

(( I think Assassin fits nicely if you're A+ with that? ))

Big Bad remembers this wolf. Really, he remembers the wolf's mother, and the chaos that came with her. He has never judged Milky Way for the ways of his mother, not has he felt a desire to punish him. Milky Way is an Assassin, and a fine one!
