the packs!

*ashur pack;
• resides in ; new york skyride
• about ; the ashur pack is known for their 'in the middle' attitude. they almost always act like they don't care, and many dogs join their ranks just for food and shelter, which is almost never ending. they're said to have the best hunters, and some of the best food. sadly, the ashur pack is not very well known. if all the dogs had known about them, no one would be hungry. they're not the type to feed strangers, because they aren't as welcoming as the bristol pack, but they're much more friendly and smaller then the carson pack.

alpha!


*bristol pack;
• resides in ; central park
• about ; the bristol pack is the kind and sensitive one of the bunch. they're always thinking of others, and they're the ones that want peace between other strays. although they do look up to the carson pack, it's only because it's the most notorious pack in the area, not because of their beliefs. oddly, they are a bit too-faced, and if offered an alliance with the carsons', they would most likely not turn it down. they'd never judge anyone, though, and you could be whoever you want to be there, instead of being fake or mean.

alpha!


*carson pack;
• resides in ; city hall
• about ; this pack is made up of mostly males, with the occasional female that is taken in for some kind of torturous act. if you do find a female around here, they're probably a bit sleazy, or plain dumb. the males in this pack are rude, ruthless and just plain mean. they would be considered the most well known pack, though, and if you are a male, you'd find yourself lucky to be accepted into this group for you have to be at least a bit attractive. the carson pack is obsessed about their looks, and wouldn't give a "less attractive" canine the time of day.

alpha!

USERNAME . boston
CHARACTER . dante, for carson pack )
ACTIVITY . 9.5, hockeys over in march and then all i have is riding. i have horses sooo ^^
POSITION .alpha
ROLE PLAY EXAMPLE . The sun hadn’t even crested the horizon yet. The sky bore not a star, but draped the mountains in a haze of grey. The air was freezing, its familiar sting biting the tom’s charcoal nose. His huge frame lumbered through the passageways that allowed his clan to move about the mountain. Heavy paws crunched through the snow, leaving behind a trail of wide paw prints. The icy morning winds buffeted against his thick light tabby, almost white pelt. He was a handsome cat, with his square jaw and broad shoulders, his strange colored pelt and cold, pale eyes. He was a collaboration of pale looks and a dark soul. Now, it wasn’t a dark soul in the way he wished to do wrong or harm to anyone, but in the ways it was weighed down by the past. Shrouded with the black of his memories. He could still see his mother’s eyes, so deep brown and all-knowing, or that’s what he remembered. Sure, she’d made mistakes, she’d made major mistakes, but she’d still be here if it weren’t for him. He shuddered at the thought of his father’s rage when he returned, stealing Firekit and telling the whole clan her secret. His father, Slateclaw, had been exiled from the clan, and Featherdancer had had kits with him, refusing to let him go. Coltfeather had told her he hated her.. He was the reason she was gone.. The reason she’d taken her own life.

Scuffing a huge paw at the snow, Coltfeather hissed to himself. He hated that he still thought about the past. He’d been judged as a young cat, for he had been lucky enough to look just like his father. Good genes, eh? Well, though he’d received his father’s appearance, he was lucky not to get passed along his morals. The medicine cat was probably one of the most loyal, caring, compassionate toms one could ever come across, though they would never know it. The pale tabby was gruff, not necessarily friendly, and was known for his biting remarks. He was stubborn and heard headed with an opinion that was usually heard. He did know when to hold his tongue though and was patient when it counted. He rarely cared what others thought and kept his distance. Extremely talented at his art, he was a skilled medicine cat with a gift for healing. He loved what he did but deep down he longed for the sense of family he never had.

The tomcat sighed, his ghostly eyes searching the sky for any sign of the sun. The first lights were beginning to peer over the snowy peaks. He stood in the snow, his tail swaying back in forth as his mind wandered. He tried to remember why he’d left camp in the first place. He needed herbs.. He needed to find somewhere that was even able to grow herbs. Glancing down the mountain side with an agitated glare, he figure the only place that he’d find that was at the base of these god forsaken clumps of stone. Inhaling the crisp, oxygen-lacking air, he huffed it out, a cloud of grey puffing from his jaws. He did not feel like venturing all the way down there today. No way. So he looked around and rocked back onto his haunches, staring out over the lands that lived in the shadow of the mountain he called home.

Accepted<33

[Hype]

I'm just going to go ahead and ask; why is a roleplay sample needed? I would assume that if a character has been accepted, you know already that they're okay.

Also, depending on the answer to this question, I'm going to go ahead and say that I will probably be applying Theyr'Wolfe as Alpha of the Ashur pack. ^~^

[• stella]

Hype; I think a sample is needed because someone can have a nice character that they've worked a long time on, but then not so nice posts that they don't work so hard on. I don't know, I think it's needed(:

USERNAME . Jackie
CHARACTER . Mya & bio link
ACTIVITY . 8 (school sometimes gets in the way, but I am always on after)
POSITION . Alphess of Bristol
ROLE PLAY EXAMPLE .

The streets were covered in debris from the dilapidated old houses. Some of the houses still stood but didn't look at all stable to be in. The sun was falling and the moon was sitting high in the sky. It was small and faded but it was there. What an odd sight it was to see both the moon and the sun in the sky together. The sun left a beautiful pink, purple and yellow mist in the sky. The temperatures from the day were finally cooling down. It wouldn't be long till it was night and the temperatures would finally be bearable. But the day had been nice with a little bit of rain, which was much needed. The plants though, seemed to have soaked it up pretty fast as everything was just as dry as it had been before the rain.

Layla, a pretty canine, walked the streets slowly. Her eyes were glazed with grief and despair. It was like coming back from the dead and not understanding why her home had been destroyed. But that wasn't it. She hadn’t been back near her home since her humans died out, not since she found Seth. Seth was her friend, her old neighbour, her old mate. They had a litter of puppies together once upon at time... But Layla couldn’t stay, not after her pups left the den. She felt trapped but she also felt like Seth deserved someone better, someone who was capable of loving him to the highest extent. Layla loved him but he was too good to her and she left. Seth understood, at least that is what he told her. But she knew better, she knew he was sad without her. But he would get over it and find a new mate and have more pups and live happily ever after.

Layla though, she couldn’t understand why she felt so depressed. No. Why she felt so alone even when she was with Seth. Her pups made her feel whole though. Maybe that was it. She had always wanted more pups but never found the right male to settle down with again. Sure, a few one-night-stands that never ended well, but never the one.

The white female left those thoughts behind and sad in front of her old house. The door was missing and the windows were smashed. The garage door looked as if it was about to fall into the house while the family van was so rushed no one could tell what color it originally was. Except Layla knew, it had been a bright cherry red color. She missed riding in that van. The smell of her family was long gone but the memories were still there, every last one of them. She remembered the day she came home to them. The kids were ecstatic and the parents were smiling so much their faces had to have hurt. Layla tried to bring back the memory but it was blurry. When the kids seen me they couldn't stop touching me. We played till it was way past their bedtimes and mine too. I was so tired that day. The days that followed were just as happy. She was a good pup and learned quickly too. A few mistakes were made but nothing so bad they didn't want to keep her.

Layla sighed, feeling sad and a little overwhelmed by all the memories flooding into her mind. Why had she come back if it brought her such happy but sad memories? She didn't really know but kind of hoped that she would see Seth around somewhere.

OTHER . Reason she should become Alphess; she is everything that pack stands for. Maybe slightly different as she does believe good rises above evil every time, so she wouldn't always take the Carson pack's side. But if it meant it would be the good of her pack, she would do so.

roleplay sample; from tMH when I was there. But names have been changed.

USERNAME . Hype

CHARACTER . Theyr'Wolfe (Beautiful me!)

ACTIVITY . 9 (school and such =\ )

POSITION . Alpha Male of the Ashur Pack

ROLE PLAY EXAMPLE . (This is actually a post I put up on the site already, so I hope it's acceptable as a sample...)

Rugged pavement clicked below his paws as the wolfdog made his way into the abandoned immigrant center. Dilapidated buildings scattered the area, bricks left about in disarray from wind and plants and various other wraths of nature. Honestly, the bridge was the worst aspect of coming to this place; everything else looked promising. Places to explore, rats to kill (should he finally see one, rather than merely hear it scuttling about), and best of all, shelter that many dogs didn't enter. Yes, Theyr'Wolfe felt as though this area would be quite nice, should he decide he wanted to live there upon further exploration.

Click, click, click. Claws met concrete joyously as the vain animal paraded about ,searching the new place. Well, not necessarily new rather that he had simply yet to look around. And he was very much liking what he was seeing. Birds flew overhead, bringing some life to the monochromatic gray canvas above, which forced Theyr'Wolfe to involuntarily let out a smile. It was always a good feeling to know that one wasn't always alone. Not that Theyr'Wolfe needed the company; he wanted the attention.

The wolfdog eventually found himself within a building, furthermore traversing dusty and faded marble before coming to some stairs which had obviously been a site to see in their prime. Now, however, they were chipped of paint and rusted from leaks, letting out soft squeaks of protest as Theyr'Wolfe padded his way upward. A balcony rested at the end of the stairway, as did two hallways spreading perpendicular from the stairwell to balcony. Of course, Theyr'Wolfe stepped through the broken glass of the door and onto the ledge, and at good time as well.

Below him, just entering the island and turning right, he could see a dog. Marvelous colors on his coat, but apparently clueless as to the surroundings he'd entered. Naturally, the purebred smiled, raised his head and looked through the barring of the overview before shouting, Hey mate! Lost, are we?" One could feel the superiority Theyr'Wolfe held towards himself as he spoke.


OTHER . Reason he should lead this pack: He doesn't care. At all, which is the exact standpoint taken by this pack. If it benefits him in the end, he'll do it. If not, he won't. It's as simple as that, really. He's strong and charismatic, if not vain, but any leader should be confident in their abilities, especially over a group as apathetic as the Ashur pack.

Reason he wants to lead this pack: He loves to be in charge, and Theyr'Wolfe always will be. Always. As far as he is concerned, he's already a leader, but to be thought of as such by others would only make him feel so much better. Originally, he had made an attempt to rule the Carson pack, but emberassingly failed at doing so, and settled with the "in the middle" pack. After all, leadership is leadership, and the dogs in this pack don't rightfully care who's in charge.
