The Wolves of Yellowstone

Note: The images I'm using for the introduction and my character are screenshots from WolfQuest, a totally awesome game (you have to download it, though).

Name: Splash
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Personality: She is nice but has a short temper. She is really good at climbing for a wolf. She trys to stay out of fights as much as possible. She is a good listener and friendly after she knows you better. Sometimes she likes to be alone and she loves to be where she can see the sky. The sky helps her clam down and makes her fell like someone can see her and help keeps her safe.
Other: Has a brother named, Dragon.

Name: Dragon
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Personality: He is like his sister but will fight if he has to. He is not as short tempered as Splash. He isn't as good as climbing as his siter but is bigger so he can run faster then her. He would rather be under the trees then out in the open. He has been in more battles and lost part of his ear.
Other: Has a sister named, Splash

)Yay! :3 Is the first pairing still us?(

Name: Arnou
Gender: Male
Appearance: Image
Personality: Arnou is a mostly solitary wolf, but loves to explore unknown areas and new strategies. He has very quiet vibe about him, but a very loud presence. He is also very protective of younger wolves and weaker ones- extremely loyal too. He can easily pick a fight and then stop, but has a horrible grudge on situations like that.
His patience level is extrordinarly high but his temper is also. Arnou only trusts his close friends and excludes himself from new wolves.
Other: Nope. :3

((Splash- Splash is accepted, though I think Dragon needs to be a little more realistic-looking, since this is about actual wolves. Without the pawprint mark on the shoulder would be fine.
Blanx- Yup, that's right. Accepted as well.

Probably going to wait to start, by the way.))

(Okay how is that?)

Name: Dragon
Gender: Male
Appearance: http://todaynewsonline.com/wp-content/uploads/myimages//2010/09/gray-wolf-1.jpg
Personality: He is like his sister but will fight if he has to. He is not as short tempered as Splash. He isn't as good as climbing as his siter but is bigger so he can run faster then her. He would rather be under the trees then out in the open. He has been in more battles and lost part of his ear.
Other: Has a sister named, Splash

Name: Anchor
Gender: Male
Appearance: A wolf that is mainly russet colored, with a brindle-ish ticking-sort pattern of umber. I'll probably get a picture later. :3
Personality: Anchor is very stubborn and mainly sticks to his beliefs. He will not change his opinion on something unless he is completely backed into a corner by logic and someone else's opinion. He likes sparring and has a somewhat violent nature, but his favorite pastime is exploring and climbing rocks. When he's not irritated (which isn't too often), he is gentle, but his temper is always on guard - so watch out.
Other: Nothing.

((Anchor is accepted.
Also, I changed my character because I was going to use another originally, but forgot and created a new one. I updated my form so that it would display the character I was originally going to use for this RP.

Oh, and Splash, better, thank you! :) ))

Name: Hyousa [Frozen Chains]
Gender: Female
Appearance: Hyousa is a very seductive wolf, gaining her beautiful frames and features from her pure bloodline. Hyousa's coat is in a hue of the purest white, perhaps even whiter than the first snow fall. Icy azure eyes that holds a tint of mystery to many. Sharp claws and lethal bites of this beauty silences the breath of many. Hyousa is a crystal between the hard ice. [I will post the image up later]
Personality: This she wolf is not the typical definition of a flirt, her looks flirts for her but on the inside, Hyousa is very strong willed. She's a very independent wolf, but will call for help if needed. Hyousa doesn't try to save what she can't, because she already knows about the consequences of fake hope. This wolf isn't just graceful and elegant, but also very blood lusting, killing everything that gets into her or her pack's way. She has a very vigilant mind, the best strategetic wolf around this dry land, a natural strategist from very gifted talent. A lone beauty who's heart is icy cold, but polite to a stranger, she only talks to true friends that she could trust. Hyousa protects what's precious to her, pack, and will never allow it into danger, a very protective wolf. Her appearance seduces however, her personality defines the stature of a warrior. A rose in the war torn land.
Others: Hyousa is looking for a mate, as much as she wants to stay single. Perhaps she could find someone right for her?

((Sorry, Azura, but I can't accept you into the RP at all unless you edit your form. As I said in the rules, Mary-Sues aren't allowed, and as I read your form, I don't see any flaws that might balance out the seductiveness, stunning coat and amiable and desirable personality. I noticed it in the other RPs that you participate in as well, but it wasn't my place to say anything because I wasn't the owner of the RP. I would really like to have you in this RP because you write so well, but I can't accept a completely perfect character. So if you would like to join, please fix the pointers that I gave you.

Also, guys, I'm probably going to make a map (yes, a bad-looking Paint-drawn one :P) and keep track of where everyone is, and update the map every day or few days, depending on what happens in the RP and how fast it's going.
))

((Oddly, Rebecca posted her form just as I posted that. XD Luna is accepted, and we might start a little later today after I finish my homework and everything. I hope I don't need to triple-post...))

((Looks like I do have to triple post... Oh, well. XD I've added the map and a description of a few of the areas. Everyone can choose where to start on the map --- personally, I like The Burn a lot, so I'll start in the southern area of that.

You guys can tell me your starting points as well, and I'll make another map with everyone's starting locations. This map of everyone's locations will be updated every few days, or every day, depending on what's happening in the RP, as I stated before.))

Kagami's amber eyes slid open to the rising autumn sun. As she regained consciousness, a shock hit her as she realized that she was about to roll down the hill of The Burn. Quickly, she shifted her weight to her left legs to stabilize herself, and let out a frustrated sigh. If she had fallen, it wouldn't be bad because the wildflowers would soften her roll, and the slope wasn't that steep anyway. Her brown fur helped camouflage her, but the pink wildflowers made her stand out like a lion in the Arctic.

The sky's pink tints were just disappearing by the sun's light, and the air was still relatively cool. This marked the first full day of her life as a dispersal wolf. Her mission was to find a mate and start a pack here. She was looking forward to it, really; she liked The Burn, and maybe her future pack could be there. But she would have to look around a little more first; you never knew when you found some better and prettier area -- with more elk. Speaking of which, maybe she could find a hare to eat.

The russet-colored wolf stood up, looked around, and began to race playfully down the grassy slope toward the Dry Creek.

((Oh, and yes, the Dry Creek is a dry creek. I accidentally made it look kind of like water :P))

Splash sighed and looked over at her brother Dragon. They were had been staying at a place called Douglas Fir Forest. She looked over the land as she heard her brother stand up. They had just killed a small elk. She didn't know why her brother had stayed with her but she was glad. Her brother had picked this place because he said that he could be under the trees and there were places where she could see the sky. The red-brown wolf stood up and stood by her grey brother.

Dragon stood up and looked up at the sky. "Splash, you sould go eat. There is a lot for us." He saw a russet colored animal running to a place called Dry Creek. What is that,he tought. He shook his head and looked away. He liked this place here. It had enough prey for his sister and him and cover from the rain or sun in the summer. He smiled and turned his head back to the animal running.

((I'd like to start at the Lamar Overlook, to the west of Fossil Forest. That place is cool. Hehe. You can use bronze for my color.))

Anchor raced up the hill as fast as he could. It wasn't that much of a steep hill, but it was long. He had a feeling there was something on the other side, but it was one of those feelings where you knew it was true but couldn't quite place how you felt it. Anchor's paws churned, his heart pumping - he was getting tired, but he wanted to get to the other side of the hill. Perhaps there would be some water there.

He glanced ahead - there was a dip in the ground, and maybe there was water there, but he wanted to make it to the crest of the hill before he drank anything. He left pawprints in the dry grass as he sped towards the other side.

Finally, the sky grew, and he found himself squabbling for a grip on the only apparent source of flat ground. He managed to still himself on the edge of the cliff, and looked down. The ground fell away below him in a mix of rock and crumbling sand, the slope gradually lessening until it came to a valley. There was a river in the distance, and then more tall hills. Coniferous trees crowded the slope below him, and he took it in with his eyes. It was all so wonderful, the view of the farther reaches of Yellowstone. He shook himself briefly, the energy filling him, and then lifted his muzzle in a howl of excitement. He let it echo across the cliff, only clipping it short when he couldn't wait any longer and launched himself down the steep slope.

((Sorry, Breycrazy52, not accepted. Not only is your personality only one sentence long, but it lacks proper punctuation. If you want to be accepted, you should expand a little more. For example, is your wolf energetic or laid-back? Does she get angry easily or does she seem to have an endless temper? Is she quiet or is she extremely chatty? Put a little more effort into it and I can accept you

Also, I'm waiting for everyone else to post their first post before I make the map and my second post.))

)Sorry! :# school's being a butt so my time's limited. Arnou is starting off at the edge of Fossil forest that is closest to Lamar River.(


Arnou dropped the hare onto the river rocks and plodded through the shallows. He sighed and looked up to determine the time of day. Around morning, still.
This day seemed to drag on forever- past the infinite time it had taken him to catch the small rabbit.
"Memory to self- stop talking." The golden wolf licked a few drops of the ice-cold stream, and then walked back up quickly to eat the rabbit.
Those blasted coyotes could be around here, and that meant he had to eat quickly. He finished the hare quickly and started to follow the riverbed up torwards Fossil Forest.

((It's okay.
Apparently, everyone whom I've accepted has posted, so I've created a character map. I tried to use colors that would show up, so hopefully it looks okay, and everyone is in about the right spot.
Also, when packs are formed, I will keep the territories recorded on this map, and expand it a little so that there's more room. At this rate, we'll have three different packs, but that's the same amount as those that are on this map in WolfQuest. At some point, I'll have to either start a plot that causes everyone to move, or stop accepting applications other than those for pups...))

Kagami stopped running for a moment as she reached the Dry Creek and a deep howl reached her ears. It wasn't a territorial howl or anything... it was more like one of excitement. The red-and-gray wolf's ears pricked, and she looked toward the source. It was apparently coming from Fossil Forest, and sounded like a male. She wasn't sure whether the wolf who had howled was in a pack or not, but as far as she knew, there was nothing down there, so she might as well go investigate. But first, she would look around here.

As she glanced at her paws, she realized that they were now on top of sand of a different color. She had definitely reached the Dry Creek. It had probably been dry for a long time, although there was a water hole a little north of here. Perhaps she could go there. She started along the gentle upward slope again, her amber eyes determined as she investigated the source of the howl and began to head northeast.

She began to draw closer to the edge of the steep downward slope that was the beginning of Fossil Forest. The water hole was just to her right. She knew that she wasn't exactly at the place from which the howl had rung out, but she wanted to get a drink first. Kagami dipped her head into the cool water, enjoying it as she lapped it up. After a few seconds, she shook her head quickly and raised it, letting the drops land on her fur.

Her attention was caught, however, by an approaching sound of footsteps. Her still-dripping fur splashed the ground around her as she turned her head to see what was approaching. It was another wolf, with gray fur and swirls of lighter markings. Kagami's amber eyes sparked with curiosity, though a flash of nervousness passed through her. Why did this wolf follow her? She took a few steps back, but jumped up as she accidentally padded into the cold water. Probably looking foolish, she snorted and stepped back out. Instead of retreating, she took a few steps to the side and kept her gaze from landing directly on the strange wolf. She had been careless about seeing whether anyone else was nearby earlier. She had to remember that at this time of year, when it was just the end of winter, there were more wolves than just those in the packs...

Anchor rushed down the slopes, the wind hacking at his face with an invisible axe. It made his eyes water, but he only enjoyed the sensation of his paws lasting for only a split second on the rock and dry grass that lined the faces of the hill. His paw pads would probably pay for this, but he knew that there was a spring to the south of here in which he could easily wash them. The brown wolf dropped speed as the slope leveled out, but he turned his head to the right - a larger hill upwards was waiting for him there. He quickly changed directions, his paws treading on grass instead of rock now. Douglas fir trees dotted the hill, and he made a game of dodging between them. After all, running was quite fun.

Kagami noticed that the other wolf -- Dragon, apparently -- probably didn't intend to follow her, and was most likely just getting a drink at the water hole. She nodded and her tail wagged a little, but something still told her to keep looking around Fossil Forest for the howl. She padded around the border of the shallow, clear water, her eyes on the valley below. The ridge gave a spectacular view of the Lamar River below them, and Kagami stopped for a moment to look at it. How great it would be to live down there... But first she would have to find a mate here. She padded carefully down the steep slope, picking out footholds so that she wouldn't slip. This was definitely where the howl had come from, and she continued down into the valley.

OOC//: Sorry for such the late post!

Luna's eyes darkened as she watched a blur race down one of the hills. Only to be accompanied by another blur. Wolves? She wasn't sure, but they couldn't have been anything else, could they? She was staying close to the edge of another pack's territory, but she'd long ago made a sort-of agreement with the pack. Though she didn't join, she was allowed to hunt on their territory for small things and eat their leftovers as long as they were done. Survival of the fittest; Luna was fit, but not strong.
Her nose twitched as the wind changed, bringing the now distinct sent of other wolves to her nostrils. Tail twitching, Luna looked down the rough slope she was on and her heart almost stopped. There, coming straight towards her and darting through trees was another wolf. Male or female she couldn't tell, but all she was thinking about was the fact she might have to protect her territory. Something the smaller wolf wasn't very good at, she could run, but that meant giving up the temporary den she had and the easier to hunt elk. She decided to wait to see whether the wolf was a friend, or foe. From there she would decide her next move.
