-- what truly is a werewolf?
many myths and legends have circulated on wolf men and similar monstrous beasts. by mothers, in attempts to spook their children into healthy sleeping habits and good behaviours. by friends, to entertain others around the campfire...but were any of those tales true?
'why, of course not!' you think. any sane person would not be as foolish to believe in stories of fantasy, right?
well, what if i were to tell you that you were wrong? what if i were to tell you werewolves, vampires, demons and angels and all sorts of "fantasy" beasts roamed the earth, just like you and me? what if i told you that your next door neighbor chomps on human hearts under the moonlight? what if i told you your first cousin, that one you never speak to outside of family gatherings? what if i told you she married and became a vampire?
while i may not know if any of them really are as i say, the point remains. these monsters of legends exist, and they could be anyone you know, disguised as a human.
in eastern canada, the dominating pack of werewolves is the dawn river pack. like any other, we maintain strict order, where no wolf is to fall out of place without expecting punishment. but despite our harshness and firm discipline, we always remain together and strong.
do you have the guts to be one of us? only time will tell.

-- just like any other roleplay, there are rules. there aren't very many, so i ask of you to please read everything. it's all important.
1. forum rules are to be followed the same way you follow them on any other thread. i am not aftaid to report you.
2. i ask that for each character you are roleplaying, you write a minimum of five lines. more is highly encouraged, but i would appreciate it if you didn't post any less. proper literary skills (decent spelling, grammar, punctuation, etc) is expected at all times, although, a few mistakes here and there won't get you killed. just don't write like a second grader, okay?
3. lgbt and nonbinary characters are very much allowed! discrimination against them? not so much. not even in the roleplay. the same goes for racism.
4. kind of an add-on to three. leave the drama at the door. hissyfits and catfights are highly discouraged (unless, of course, it's a dispute between characters in the roleplay). rudeness will only get you reported, and potentially kicked out of the roleplay, if it continues.
5. keep your characters as realistic as possible. your character may have funky hair or eye colors if stated as dye or contacts, but no purple skin or third eyes. for wolf forms, there are no excuses. all of them must have natural coat and eye colors, unless there's a deformity/disorder such as heterochromia or albinism.
6. keep everything at pg-13 or below. if your character feels so inclined to swear, please censor it in some way. such as [fudge], f***, or whatever. graphic descriptions of violence and gore is allowed, but it'd be ideal if you were so kind as to put a warning for the more squeamish members. scenes describing sexual intercourse are never allowed and will be reported automatically. cigarettes and alcohol are fine, if used in passing.
7. always, always, always speak with me or a thread admin about plot ideas before executing them. spotlighting is frowned upon here. you may have a group of wolves run in to a bear or something, but do not have another pack just show up and slaughter everyone, for example.
8. be relatively active. im not asking you to post every day, but once a week is nice! if you are irresponsive for two weeks, you will be warned via private message. if you fail to return for another week, i will kick you.people with important roles, such as beta, will be wanred after one week kicked after two.
9. have fun!! i really want everyone to just have some good times here, and just be able to sit down, relax, and escape from their troubles irl for awhile. this isn't supposed to be someplace that's here to stress you out even further. it's all for good fun.
10. the rules may be subject to change, so check here often! most of the time i will alert you if there's an addition, but you never know with me, man.

-- as said before, the dawn river pack is a well-disciplined and well-organized pack. their rules and punishments may seem unnecessary or harsh, but everything is for a reason. without law, they'd just be a chaotic mess of furries clawing at and fighting each other all day. your characters are allowed to break these rules, but do not expect them to get away without being punished 100% of the time.
1. respect your surperiors. if you are caught bad-talking someone above you, your punishment is up to them. depending on who they are and how they feel, you can end up with a sharp nip and a stern warning, or a nasty scar you won't forget too soon.
2. never kill an innocent packmate. if you do, your punishment is to be executed by a close friend or family member of the victim. if a packmate poses a serious and immediate threat to the safety of others; you are allowed to end them, for at that point they are seen not as fellow wolves, but as a snake, par se. worthless to all, but dangerous if left undelt with.
3. the word of your alpha and beta are considered law. follow every order commanded of you without question/ punishable the same was as law one.
4. never leave camp without at least one other wolf by your side. this is to prevent ambush. punishable by harsh warning, or a scarring, if you are found doing it frequently.
5. couples must always recieve the alpha's blessing before producing pups. this is to prevent a massive wave of children one year, as too many may leave the entire pack starving. since it's considered putting your packmates at unnecessary risk, the parents will be banished once their pups are birthed and are eating real food.
6. human intruders are to be killed on site. lone wolves strutting around are to be chased off. you may only kill a wolf if they try to iniate a fight.

-- the dawn river pack makes their home on the eastern coast of canada. they live in a forest primarily untouched by the selfish hands of humanity, only twenty minutes away from the nearest beach and city, by car. in their 'private' forest, they have settled in a large cabin built by their ancestors long ago.
they have a climate much like most other eastern provinces. colder summers, and warmer winters. though, they still get a lot of that energy-draining heat during summer, and plenty of snow and ice during winter. they feast on moose, small rodents, birds, and the occasional, unlucky human who wanders in to their territory. common predators include other wolves, large numbers of foxes/coyotes, and of course, bears during the warm seasons.
landmarks include the following.
the dawn river // namesake of the pack, the dawn river is a long freshwater stream that stretches across the forest. it is not deep enough for fish to swim through, but plenty of animals will come by for drinks throughout the day, making rather easy food for these werewolves.
memorial oak // the tallest tree in the forest. around it, the fallen ancestors of the pack are buried beneath the ground.
the cabin // a large wood building near the edge of the forest. there are ten bedrooms in total, where members of the pack sleep together, wherever. there are five downstairs and five upstairs. in the living room, there are three sofas and a fireplace, and a long table. upstairs, there os the alpha's office, where the alpha does alpha things. the beta has one as well. in the basement there is the kitchen stocked full of high-protein foods and random snacks. there is a bathroom on the first floor. with so many wolves, you may think things are disorganized and crowded, but everything works out. as said, it is a very large building.
the beach // while it isn't trchnically linked to or on their territory, the dawn river pack wolves do like to visit the beach occasionally. it stretches a fair mile, so even if it's a busy day, chances are that they can find a neglected area to shift and play together in the water in their wolf forms.
judgement hill // this is where the battles for rank will take place. if a wolf is to challenge a surperior for their title, they will meet under the next full moon. they will battle it out on the hill until one forfeits or dies, while the entire pack may watch from below or cheer. the victor will take over the higher position, and the loser (if alive) takes the lower.
the meadow // at the end of the forest lays a large clearing. in the warm seasons, flowers of all colors grow here. trainees may come here with their mentors to practice in an open area, or some wolves may just come to smell the flowers and destress. if you're lucky, you may find the occasional mouse or rabbit sneaking around in the grass.

-- // alphas // kaiden alexander ashworth - [ twenty-eight ] - [ he/him ] - human reference wolf reference as the alpha of the dawn river pack, it is in kaiden's resume to be a confident and level-headed man. he will not back down from a challenge, but he knows when it's necessary to retreat. though, with his pack, he seems to act differently. kaiden is like a mother goose to his wolves. if no one's life seems to be in danger, he is much more gentle and caring, offering advice and assisstance to those who seek it. but don't get him wrong, he's not just friends with everyone and anyone. he's a nice guy, but if you show signs of treason, he'll gut you like a fish no matter who you are. he has no time for the rule-breakers and is quite the ass to them. - [ pansexual panromantic ] - [ n/a ] -
// beta // there is currently no beta. please ask before making one.

-- // patrollers //
amelia (emmy) parkins - [ twenty ] - [ she/her ] - human reference wolf reference there's one thing a person needs to know before approaching amelia: she hates you. unless you're a female who has managed to charm her, or a rather quiet person. she loves people who don't scream every three minutes. this is an important thing to realize, because you might get fooled by how she treats you. amelia was raised to be a polite and formal woman, so no matter how she feels about the person speaking to her, she is pretty much trained to automatically respond nicely. she might be a little grumpy when she rouses in the morning, or to underlings, but otherwise she always uses her manners and behaves with a patient calm, no matter how she feels inside. the only real way to tell if she even likes a person or not is her hands. if she's a fan of her companion, she will fidget with her rings a lot and make a lot of hand gestures. it's pretty hard to pick up on if you don't know her, though. but you don't want to believe that she actually cares about your existence otherwise, not unless you want to get smacked and called an 'arrogant pig'. - [ asexual homoromantic ] - [ diagnosed with associative synesthesia ] -
Albus Brewer - [ twenty ] - [ he/him ] - Albus has albinism, which, in simpler terms, means he is an albino. He exhibits the clear traits of one being: pale skinned, red eyed, and white haired. Though normally he just covers his hair with a hat when going outside or around people he is uncomfortable around or new to him. He also sports a simple pair of black glasses with rectangular lenses. The lenses are transition, so they change to a dark shade when exposed to light. He is pretty average despite his looks. He isn't too tall but not too short. Maybe a couple inches below the average male, but he wouldn't admit it. He has some muscle on him, but defiantly isn't built. Albus as a wolf is fluffy. Shaggy would be a better description and a preferred one. He does carry over his red eyes and bad sight, but, since he didn't have surgery or glasses in his wolf form, his eyes sight tends to be worse. Again, not anything special in body type, though might be a bit weaker and smaller than the average male wolf. Albus is a very quiet and go with the flow type of guy. He isn't much of a fighter in terms of people in his pack. He usually just follows order, no matter the giver. It just seems easier to agree rather than waste time fighting. This does mean that he does tend to take on more than he can handle. He is a bit of a people pleaser and fairly sensitive to people's words. He reads a lot into people's words, because he will often speak very few words and mean every single one. Albus is fairly observant, having to focus to see things all his life, and is likely to see things shift or move when patrolling. As for other people's body language and tone, he is still lagging behind on the body language but can tell tone pretty well. He will try to help his packmates the best he can, but tends to back away because he is nervous about putting in his input and saying something wrong. He likes doing stuff rather than talking. Plans aren't his thing. - [ bisexual biromantic ] - [ He has photosensitivity and is farsighted. ] -
// hunters //
Morgan Laski - [ twenty-one ] - [ he/him ] - Morgan Laski wolf reference Morgan are one of those rare individuals that actually like to be around people. He really puts himself out there and will be very honest and straight forward. However, he can pretty patient with people, especially the younger groups. He rarely questions his logic and way of thinking, and often likes to make plans or gather information. He can be a bit stubborn at a change of plans and often very judgmental of any new ideas. He will stand his ground until some facts are presented. So, if no one tries to take over or overrule him, he is pretty relaxed. He pays attention to others, but can often drift off both mentally and physically. He is often the person trying to find new things or thinking about how to do something. - [ asexual and panromantic ] - [ other ] -
gabriel (gabe) parkins - [ eighteen ] - [ he/him ] - human reference wolf reference gabe is a huge sweetie. pretty much just a big teddy bear. feeling down? come to gabe, he'll give you a pep talk and a hug. want company? come to gabe, he'll happily start a conversation with you. need a shoulder to cry on? probably don't come to gabe. he'll join you, most likely, because when others cry he literally loses control over his emotions. but please, if you're with gabe, don't say anything to make him angry with you. the dorky fool will turn in to an uptight dìck. and he'll hold his grudges to the grave. - [ heteroflexible cupioromantic ] - [ compulsive liar ] -

It has been forever since I was in a pack rp. I would love to join and try to get back into it. I must warn you though, I might not be active this next week, but, since winter break starts after next week, I'll be active then. Is that okay? Is it also okay if I have an albino character? )
