About Highlander's Wolves:


Note: This is more an OOC history. Only read it if you want to.

Highlander Wolves was originally owned by Angel Yuna-chan, who ran the shop for several months, but then she said she couldn't handle the load and gave it to Mhiranda. Mhiranda then hired DesertedDreams as a co-owner/colourist. They are now working together, and are going to soon be starting a guild for the shop.

A long time ago a philosopher known as Shitak Highlander was visiting the cold Alaskan mountains. It was a cold night, and it was so dark. He was attempting to make camp, but could not see. He had no wood for fire, nor any flint. He was in much dismay, till little streams of light began to cross the sky. He looked up in wonder, as the lights grew bigger, and brighter. He stared at the lights for a long time. They swiveled and moved so intricately, Shitak could almost make out the shape of an animal in its radiant glow.
It was faint at first, fading in and out. Shitak squinted, and attempted to make out just what the animal that rode the lights could be. the lights started wailing and howling,...like a pack of wolves before the hunt. Shitak closed his eyes to listn to the haunting sound. Upon opening his eyes he saw the aurore beasts run, clearly now, in stable streams of dark rainbow light. One of the beast leant back its head and released another howl.
"Wolves,..." Shitak said in amazement.
A gust of wind blew around him, and he looked behind him to find his tent set up, and ready for him, bathed in the fog-like particles of the glowing aurore, twisting to form the form of a lone wolf, who looked to the philosopher with golden eyes, as it's mist-furr faded in and out. The wolf jumped to the sky, once more turning into misty aurore light. Shitak became weak in the knees and knelt down. The lights went on and on forever, as continuous rainbow wolves poured out of the heavens, into the sky. Some swiveled throught the mountains, landing thier rainbow-mist feet upon the cold snow. Some decended to the earth below.
What became of the wolves, born of the aurore? Shitak decided then, to dedicate his life to finding out.
It was a task that he continued, till his death...now his records...his journals filled with information, tittled "Highlander's Aurore Wolves" have been found by a historical company...and the stories inside dismissed as meer fairytale. But what really happened to the wolves born of the Aurore?
Perhaps it is your turn to find the answer...

1. Keep it PG-13 at all times!
2. No godmoding/cheesing/munching/powerplaying, etc. or controlling other people's characters.


example
____ ran through the woods, his shiney coat glimmering in the moonlight. Everyone thought his fur was beautiful, and now he was going to challenge the Alpha. He ran toward the area where the alpha's den was, snow falling all around him. As the alpha stepped out of the den, ____ growled at him, causing ____ to step back a bit, then growl back. He then leapt powerfully at the other, causing tha alpha to scream with pain. The alpha then tried to bite ___, but he dodged easily.....

(Note that this is really exaggerated, but you get the point.)

4. Try to make somewhat longer, more descriptive posts, unless you're doing OOC RPing. (EG: ___: *does something* Says something) I know sometimes it's hard to come up with long posts, but "She nodded at ___ and then walked away," is way too short.

5. That brings me to my next point. I don't like OOC RP stuff, but I'll allow it. When doing this, keep your character's personality pretty much the same. If they have a mate, then don't pair them off with someone else. Also, once the guild is established, keep chatting either in the main thread or in the OOC section of the guild.

6. Don't argue with the staff about shop-related things, ever.

7. Don't fight, out of character in the thread. If you must, take it to PMs.

8. Fighting in RP is okay, but don't kill them/get them close to death, unless you okay it with the other person AND one of the staff.

9. Don't get mad if I don't get your pup/growing/LA edit done as soon as you ask for it. If I'm backed up with orders, especially. Do be patient.

10. If you don't understand something, you CAN PM the mule or Mhiranda.

Newborn Pup:
At this stage, the young wolf pup has just come from the heavens, into this world. At first it will have the misty glow of the aurore still around it (Last for 1 rl week) untill it fades, and the newborn appears just like any other wolf pup. At this stage it can make animal like noises, and move around, but can't exactly converse. (Lasts for another week-2 weeks)

Pup:
Now the pup has gotten a little bigger, become playful, and fully aware of its surroundings. It will also attempt to eat solid foods now. It will also begin to learn some words and be able to form easy sentences. (This stage lasts for a while, so be patient. take the time to RP you wolf, and establish a personality.)

Teen:
The Wolf is begining to get to it's full size. It's shedding its puppy ways, and begining to take on a bit more responsibility. It should now begin to find it's place in its pack, if it's in one. It will be able to talk like most of the normal adult wolves.

Adult/Final stage:

The Wolf is now fully grown. It should have by now well established its place in a pack, if it's in one. They can now take a mate, if thier rank or Pack Leader approves.

Packs may be started by Adult Males Once they have claimed thier teritory, they must find a mate. THEN they may officially be a pack, after achieving 5 members (excluding the Alpha Male and Alpha Female)

Also, you must have the permission of ALL the staff, before we will let you have a pack. You must also prove your wolf to be worthy of owning a pack. While you may have all the requirements, technically, your wolf still must have leadership qualities and fit the personality of his pack that he wants to create.

Pack Rankings


Head of the Pack

Alpha - Leader of the pack. Male and female and they are usually mates.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Beta - Is second in command of pack - If Alpha dies, Betas gets their position. If only one of Alphas die, one whos alive must quickly find a mate or fight for a position.




Neck of the Pack

Gamma - Usually peacekeepers - their work is to keep the pack in harmony. There is usually two of each gender in a pack. Usually gentle and kind members of the pack, that help with pups.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Delta - If an Alpha wishes to tell something to the Alpha of another pack, these members are used as the messengers. Usually swift, lean, and smart.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Epsilon - Something like a shaman or elder,...they are usually older wolves, that can no longer hunt, but serve the Alphas with thier knowledge.

Digamma - These members usually help new members of a pack become aquainted with everyone. Usually kind, intelligent members.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rhos - The lead hunters in the pack, and usually quite stong.

Kappas - Male Guards of Pack. Usually strong and rugged, sometimes join in with the hunting party.



Tail of the Pack

Omega - Lowest ranked, weak. Usually old and sick.

Flat Sales:
In a FS, there will be a prompt for you to write an RP response for. There will be a predrawn wolf, so you don't get to choose colours or anything like that. Whoever writes the best prompt for the FS will win it. You will then pay 6k to the mule, and one of us will cert your new pet for you.

FS Rules:
1. All prompts should be PM'd to the mule AFTER one of us says "Go"
2. All FS's will be 6k, unless stated otherwise.

5. If you proofread someone's prompt and copy it, both people will be disqualified unless the original writer can provide concrete proof that they wrote it.

Auctions:

Auctions will be held not as often as FS's, but we will hold them. All starting bids will be 6k, just like flats. Autobuys will be stated by the artist.

Auction Rules:

1. Don't place a bid until one of the staff says it's okay.
2. You may make joint bids, but if one person doesn't make their payment within a certain amount of time, the other person will be asked to pay the rest if they can. In that case, the wolf will be given to them and them alone. If they can't make the rest of the payment, they will receive their money back and the wolf will be resold.
3. Please don't retract your bid.
4. Although you amy bid on more than one wolf on auction, give everyone a chance. Don't AB more than one wolf on auction.
5. Don't get mad if someone else outbids you. There'll be more chances.

__________________________

Rules:

1. Your wolf may have only ONE mate. Once you have your wolf mate with someone, they may never mate with any other wolf! They may, however have more than one litter.
2. if your wolf is in a pack, the breeding must be allowed by your pack leaders, who will PM the mule their approval, and we will have to approve as well.
3. Wolves must be at the adult stage to breed.
4. Breedings will result in a randomized 2 to 3 pups. You may give away the pups if you wish, but you are NOT allowed to sell them for profit!
5. Same Sex pairings are accepted, however, this is only for first generation wolves. You see,..the magic of the aurore that these first generation wolves posses, allows the more submissive of the couple (for males) to temporarily change gender, in order to carry, and have, the pups. For females, it allows the more dominant of the couple to become a male when they are "breeding.
6. Do not have any sexual scenes in the thread/guild/in plain sight. If you want to, you may do so over PM/an instant messenger system.

Breeding costs are 12k

These are people who have done things to get on our blacklist. People on here may be shot on sight. xDD

Kouseki - She caused a lot of unnecessary drama at another shop, and hurt a lot of people's feelings, causing some of them to want to leave forever.
Pata_lover: - She caused so much drama to one shop, it nearly fell apart. She apparently doesn't know the difference between "in" and "out" of character. She's been very naggy/throws fits when people don't give her her way.
