Welcome to the Pack
If you're one of us, then you surely know it. We're shifters, a proud race, and we stick together. What's a shifter, you may ask? We're human, in a way; the ability to shift comes from our genetics. Shifters house the instincts and the soul of an animal within them, and because of that, we can be a seen as more... savage. We deal with our own problems, and we don't get outsiders involved. Most shifters don't shift for the first time until they hit puberty, but there are exceptions. If someone is in danger, their animal half might surface early for protection. There are negative consequences to such an occurence, however. Mental processes tend to suffer; the shifter might experience debilitating headaches, memory lapses, or seizures, if the situation grows severe enough. Despite our reluctance to trust outsiders, we alerted the humans to our presence a decade ago. Ever since the humans became aware that we existed, it's as if the world is holding its breath, waiting to see who will rise to the top of the food chain. We break the mold that the humans have built to understand the world, and that scares them. The fate of us shifters is up in the air, and it's up to us to make sure we survive.

Find Pride in Your Heritage
To be a shifter is to be proud of who and what you are. Shifters are born from shifters, whether both parents can shift or only one of the parents can. A half-blooded shifter is still able to shift and embrace their animal, but their level of dominance may be a little weaker, and it may be more difficult to sense or smell whether or not they're a shifter. The ability to shift comes from one's genetics, as stated, but someone might be a shifter without the ability to shift. Such a person is referred to as a latent shifter, and the level at which they may be able to sense their animal, or utilize their dominance, may vary from person to person. A shifter might also be a healer; the abilities of healing also varies. Some healers may be able to heal physical wounds, some healers may be able to reduce the level of pain but not heal the wound, and some healers might be able to heal psychological scars. Other shifters might be Seers, who can see the future at times. The strength of each gift very much depends on each person. Seers tend to be empathic, and often can become overwhelmed by the emotions around them. A Seer can also be a healer, but a combination of both gifts is unusual. To be a Seer sometimes comes with a negative connotation, as there are individuals who use their power for selfish or nefarious reasons. Most shifter groups are controlled by an alpha pair, who are the most dominant. An alpha pair is usually a true mate pair. True mates are fated mates, in which each partner holds the other half of their mate's soul. True mates usually complement each other, but it is not always the case, and there are been rumors of abusive matings. Beneath the alpha pair is the beta pair. Beneath the beta is the Head Enforcer, who coordinates the rest of the Enforcers. The enforcers serve as guards for the group and patrol the territory, making sure the borders are secure.
While most matings involve true mates, it is not the requirement. If two people love each other enough, but are not true mates, they may imprint on each other. The bond formed by imprinting functions in the same manner that the bond between true mates does. The bond is metaphysical, where each partner can sense their partner's mood, and general location and direction. Mates also sense each other's presence through the bond on a psychological level.

Beware Adversaries
When the shifters ousted themselves to the world, there was chaos and confusion. From the insanity rose a group of humans collectively known as the extremists, who generally have a zealous religious view and see the shifters as demons from Hell, who must be culled. While the human courts tend to favor shifters over the extremists, the lack of law on their side does not deter them from their mission. As a result, the extremists are often willing to use illegal methods such as kidnappings, bombings, and terrorism to take out their targets and instill fear in the shifter community. A group of shifters, known as the Movement, has arisen to combat the extremists, and they use similar tactics. The leader of the Movement is very much kept a secret, and while a majority of the shifters do support the movement, there are some who disagree with their tactics. Our pack, the Phoenix pack, has become quite the target, and we've had to shore up our defenses to keep our pack and our loved ones safe.

Embrace the Beast
The Phoenix pack consists mainly of wolves, but the unique aspect of our pack is the fact that we welcome all types of shifters. Snakes, cats, birds - you name it, they're welcome, as long as they're not corrupted individuals, or a threat to the safety of the pack as the whole. We are a diverse group, and we recognize that if we fail to unite and stand together, than we will fall divided, and the extremists will pick us off, one by one. Without unity, we'll fail.

Disclaimer
This role-play is based off the Phoenix Pack series by Suzanne Wright. While I do recommend the books, there are adult themes and adult language, and I do not recommend anyone younger than sixteen read the book.

I've had this really awful habit of picking at my eyebrows whenever I'm anxious ever since I was a kid, and let's just say that I'm almost out of eyebrows at this point))
