❧Deep with in the growth of forest lay the hinterlands of the wolves. With little tarnished at the hand of humans, the hinterlands flourished with both plant and animal life. Though, in all honesty most humans feared treading too far into it's bramble for wolves roamed the territory. Many of folklore had demonized the wolves and people thought them better dead. But the animals were not a a malevolent nature, and were only doing what they needed to survive. "Eat or be eaten." Such was the way of the wild, and on their land humans were of no exceptions.


Resentment between the two grew.

However, not all people felt this way, and instead of trying to hunt them into near extinction some chose to live among them. For several years there was a sense of uncertainty and distrust amongst the wolves and people of the forest, for they had only ever seen each other as predators....


One morning, a girl of the forest kin lay in slumber beneath the brush. The air was crisp and calm as birds sang lovely melodies amongst the trees. But all this peacefulness was abruptly startle from the bellowing thunder of gun shots ringing throughout the canopy. For a few moments everything was still and silent. The birds stopped their chatter, and their air held only tension. Seconds later sounds could be heard once more, but not that of bird but of whimpering pups who's cries mourned their family. The girl fallowed their pleading sounds and the smell of sulfur to where the pups rest. They were small, helpless and unable to fend for themselves and she could not let herself abandon the pups, so she took them in as her own.

She would would raise the pups with her human family, strengthening the bond between the species. And as the pups would grow up and continue on to create their own packs tolerance of humans of the forest kin became more and more so. Soon it would become not uncommon for humans to be allowed to live among the packs as well. The wolves learned from their human companions over the years, becoming more adept to their language as did the humans of their canine friend's. Over time the forest kin became watchers to the wolves and helped to preserve their forest and it's way of life.❧

❧Pups❧
Pups are young and new to the world, constantly changing the path of how life will continue. Playing, exploring and and socializing with their pack mates is their only real task at this point.

(Expected growth: 4 weeks)
(Any number Per Pack)


❧Adolescents❧

Consider these your teen years of being a wolf. You're young, strong and still learning. However, you're also old enough to start going on hunts and to breed. The events in which happen during this time in your life may play an important part in which role you end up playing in the pack.

(Expected growth 4 weeks)
(Any number Per Pack )


❧Omega❧
Omegas are the lowest on the pack's hierarchy, just ranking above the pups which they tend to while the rest of the pack is out on a hunt. They are most responsible for rearing the young and teaching them pack etiquette. Oftentimes they are not allowed to partake in hunts with the pack, especially if there's a litter.

( 1 Per Pack )


❧Gamma❧
Gamma are the lower to intermediate pack members and make up the majority of the pack. The often partake in hunts, especially when it comes to big game and also socialize the pups. They tend not to lead hunts, but still hold very minor pack superiority.

( Any number Per Pack )


❧Beta❧
Beta are second in command only to the Alpha couple. The are allowed to lead hunts, and get some of the best pickings. It is not uncommon for a Beta take charge if something happens to one of the Alphas.

( 2 Per Pack )


❧Alpha❧
The Alpha couple are the leaders of the pack and are most responsible for the success of the pack as a whole. They are typically the two strongest male and female within the pack and generally do the majority of the breeding to ensure a stronger, healthier pack. They will lead the majority of the hunts and expected to protect the pack when threatened.

( 2 Per Pack, One male and one Female )


❧Lone Wolves❧
These pack-less individuals are entirely responsible for their own health and well being. They hunt for themselves and take care of only themselves. The only time the may try to seek company of others over long periods of time is when trying to seek mates.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

❧3rd Stage Growth❧
After 4 weeks of being in the Adolescent stage you may request to have your pet grown into it's 3rd stage HERE. However, you cannot have your pet simply grow into whatever rank you desire. Different ranks require a certain amount of RP.

❧Rank RP Requirements❧

++25 posts between 2 people is consider to be 1 completed RP. So 12.5 posts per person. If you're continuing from a prior RP that has 50 posts you can have it count towards your 2nd RP.

++Please keep in mind that one-liners will not be counted towards your RPs. A post must be 3-5 sentences minimum to be counted. Dialog counts too and more is always welcome.

++You may choose to downgrade to a lower rank even if you're overqualified as far as the amount of RP is concerned.

++When applying for 3rd stage growth you must have the RP logs on hand otherwise you will be automatically given the default stage. So it is highly recommended if you plan on getting a particular rank other then a Gamma to keep track of your RPs in your Journal so you do not have to go digging for them later.

++You do not have to apply for a rank right after 4 weeks has passed in adolescence. You may keep it that stage longer if so desired. (Say if you wanted to accumulate more RP for a rank but you didn't have the time, you may apply for it at a later date.)

++You may apply for different ranks after the 3rd stage, but it will require a larger amount of RP for change. You also may not use RP used for prior growth. ( If any. ) Also there may be restrictions regarding uniques and wolves with lineart edits.

( Please keep in mind that the amount of RPs required may be subject to change.)

❦Gamma: This is the default stage. No RP is required to obtain this stage.
❦Omega: 2 completed RPs required.
❦Beta: 3-4 completed RPs required.
❦Lone Wolf: 4 completed RPs required.
❦Alpha: 5+ completed RPs required.

❧Cerka Deer❧
Cerka Deer and an indigenous species to the Hinterlands, closely related to whitetail deer. They have slightly thicker pelts and inward antlers which both sexes possess year round. Cerka Deer are often used as means of travel by the Forest Kin, much like their equine counterparts. However, with long slender legs and smaller bodies, Cerka Deer are more adept for treading the forest terrain.

User Image


❧Foxes❧
Foxes are among many of the woodland creatures that have taken an unusual liking to both the Forest Kin and their wolf companions for reasons yet unknown. Probably for food and other such comforts. These small canines are most notable for their thick, luxurious tails and pelts that keep them warm during the coldest of winters.

❧Have Fun ❧
1) Have fun! Seriously I cannot even begin to stress this enough. The pets are meant to be enjoyed as well as the shop.

❧No God-Moding ❧
2) No God Moding. You can only control your own pet's actions. Not the pets of other people. Anyone caught doing this will receive a warning. After three warning you may be asked to leave the RP under temporary suspension. Also, god moding includes invincibility. Like the real world you are not indestructible. However, I would advise against any role playing that may end in the death of a pet to avoid conflict. People tend not to like it and it's hard to RP something that's dead.

❧No Magical Powers ❧
3) NO MAGIC POWERS. The wolves in this shop are low of magical origin and it would be appreciated if it was left that way. That means no fire, water, air, electric, shadow, poison.etc related abilities. Although being able to talk to both animals, humans and spirits is fine. If you believe you have a reasonable request for an ability for your pet to have please run it by one of the staff members beforehand.

❧Pets from other shops? ❧
4) Other pets in role play is fine as long as the animal is not magical. For example. (Foxes are fine but foxes with multiple tails are not.)

❧Keep it Clean ❧
5) Keep it clean. No use of excessive profanities. Also keep all content PG13. I'm not terribly concerned about this happening but you never know how people are.

❧You do NOT have to RP ❧
6) Although it is not required to have the pet, RPing with affect it's growth. If you do not RP your pet it will become a Gamma by default. For more specific rank pets you may have to RP or participate in events.

❧Be Literate ❧
Try to be as literate as possible. Spelling mistakes are understandable, after all none of us are perfect. However leave chatspeak out of the RPs.

❧Include Others ❧
Although sometimes it may be hard, if you see someone wander in try to include them in. No one likes being ignored and it helps to create a more welcoming environment.

❧One liners ❧
Although it is not against the rules to use them we would prefer if you refrained from using them. People tend not to like it and it doesn't give a whole lot to work off of. Also one liners won't be counted as RP towards growing into ranks and may lead to you becoming a default Gamma.

❧Regular Breeding ❧
Regular breeding passes down randomly traits from each parent to their pups. Each pup, while retaining some traits from their parents will not look identical to one another unless one or more of the parents of the pups have twins or blood related members have twins. However, this is not 100% guaranteed if there are twins. Gender for regular breeding is random.


❧Custom Breeding ❧
Custom breeding allows the owner(s) to select which traits will be passed down to the pups as well as gender. How ever there will be a +10k fee for each custom bred pup in the litter.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



❧About Breeding ❧
Family members cannot breed. Yeah, no incest guys. Even if they aren't blood related. You can't do it, so don't ask.

You may gift a pup to a friend. You did pay for it, so if you want to give a pup to a friend as a gift that's fine. However you CANNOT sell, auction, take bribes for the pup. If you're caught doing so you will be black listed. End of story.

A wolf must be an adolescent or older to breed. Think this is just common knowledge. Pups are structurally unsound and unable to conceive and must wait till their bodies have matured before they can breed.

A female cannot breed again till after her pups have reached adolescents. Like any good mom you should be tending to your pups till they mature. And if you're pregnant you cannot get pregnant during a current pregnancy.

Male lone wolves can breed as many times as they want with any rank. Because they're jerks and aren't sticking around to create a pack or be in a pack. Lone wolf males are not the best fatherly type. Female lone wolves can breed with any rank also, but still can only conceive again till after their pups re adolescents before she takes off again.

If there are 2 alphas in the pack, only those alphas can mate with each other. The alpha couple are essentially mates for life and can only breed with one another if there are two in a pack. If there is only one alpha in the pack the wolf they mated with will also become an alpha unless it's a lone wolf. Breeding Alphas with none alphas will cost +20k to the normal breeding fee.

If two different owners are choosing to breed you will have to decide how to split the pups. This is pretty self explanatory.
