Welcome to Wolf's Requiem

[Wolf's Requiem]

Characters colorations, attributes, and introduction to the species Characters are allowed to wear jewelry, have tattoos/markings, or other attributes. Characters are also allowed to have unnatural mutations (eg horns, spikes, etc). We prefer the majority of a character's pelt to be a Natural Color but there is no rule against a completely Unnaturally Colored wolf. Markings, accessories, wing, and eye colors may be Natural or Unnatural. Natural Colors Unnatural Colors The traits of each specie are the traditional attributes, meaning you do not necessarily have to follow the colors or temperment of the specie. It is up to you to design your character; however, we strongly advise you to adhere to the defining features of the species.

Lithe wolves of the Coven rebellion Color: Gray, black, light brown Build: Average sized but they tend to have a lighter frame and longer legs for traveling. Temperament: Tend to be very civil and well mannered, they are smart and like to think things through before acting. Defining Features: Acute sense of smell. Origins: These were a group of scouts in the original Dark Coven pack, years ago. However, due to their submissive, calm nature, they were often abused by the larger pack members. Upset by their treatment, they led a failed revolt and ended up breaking away from the Dark Coven pack. Many were killed, but a few survivors made it away. These descendents are believed to be heavily mixed with Nyrcean blood, due to their slender build. Nyrcean wolves of the frozen north Color: White, cream, light brown, gray Build: Tall and lanky with very large paws. Temperament: Very easy-going and tend to be very in tune with other’s emotions. Defining Features:Always have light colored eyes, extremely long silky fur, and a long thin tail with long hair. Origins: In order to migrate the vast tundra the Nyrcean's large paws and light build helped them to move quickly over the frozen ice and snow. Skybix wolves of the daytime sky Color: Brown, white, silver Build: Medium sized wolf, though they tend to have strong legs for landing. Skybix are built to catch prey and carry it off through the air. Temperament: Tend to be serious and intelligent, they plan ahead for any situation that may come their way. Defining Features: Wings ( most often feathered or butterfly) sprout from their shoulders. Origins: Said to have been blessed with the power of flight by Alsana in the early days of the war. Alsana gave the Skybix the power of flight so that they could travel the earth in search of Narsha and his followers. Nightix wolves of the nighttime sky Color: Black Build: Lighter than their Skybix relatives, these creatures are built for speed and maneuverability rather than strength. Temperament: Tend to be solitary creatures, though form strong family groups based on respect, tending to discuss problems rather than fight. Defining Features:Wings (most often dragon or bat). Also, they usually have large eyes built to see in the dark, some tend to have feathers along their back, and longer talons for capturing prey. Origins: Descended from a group of Skybix that were banished to the deserts, the Nightix kept to the night to survive from the heat, where their dark coloration was useful and highly prized. Aiienli wolves of the desert burrow Color: Tan, red, yellow, dark brown Build: Extremely small, though have large paws for digging; sometimes mistaken for yearlings. Temperament: Very social and friendly towards others, they show extreme loyalty to their family, often forming tight-knit groups. Defining Features: Very short fur, slender muzzle, and extremely large round ears. Origins: Living in the deserts, the Aiienli dug vast tunnels and den systems beneath the ground to escape the heat. Still today they tend to make community dens with the entrances well guarded. Ibernus wolves of the rugged mountains Color: Red, black, orange Build: Extremely large and heavy; very muscular. Temperament: Less social than other wolves, some tend often to be very violent. Defining Features: Extremely large paws and tough claws for balance, known for having black markings on their body as families will often brand their young with tribal markings. Origins: Making their home in the high mountains, their coloration did little to help them survive. However, their strong build helped the Ibernus to climb the rocky slopes and capture prey. They value tradition and bloodlines.

Species Modifiers modifiers and correctly naming species Modifiers are words that are added on to your main species that help add extra attributes to your character. There are four species modifiers: Coven, Demigod, Asterni, and Ghost. Here is an example of naming the species of your character using all four species modifiers. To create your species, just delete the unneeded modifiers and change the name of the main species (which is in bold): Coven Ibernus Asterni Demigod Ghost Asterni Virus the shapeshifting gene The Asterni virus allows the bearer to shift into the form of a human. The human appearance is relative to the age of the wolf (e.g. an old wolf will look old in human form). Pups under one year of age are unable to shift forms. Origins: The Asterni Virus originated from the blood of Narsha. During his earliest days, hiding from Alsana, he discovered he could turn into a human. Being careless and unable to control the disease, he spread the ability to those he wounded in battle. Later on he learned to control the disease, and now it can only be spread through blood-to-blood contact (very rare, a large amount of infected blood has to enter the other wolf's body for this to succeed) or intercourse (such as during mating). Coven Blood the legacy of the Dark Coven Coven wolves are usually stronger/faster than other 'normal' species and usually fall into one of two categories: light and fast (being able to jump taller heights and sprint long distances) or heavy and strong (being able to crush bones in their jaws and carry extremely heavy weight). Due to their unique history, Coven wolves must be born descended from an existing Coven wolf character on our site. Please ask an admin before creating a Coven wolf. Origins: The Dark Coven pack originated in the farth north of the polar region. In this land, Alsana chose her group of most devout followers to be her 'chosen ones' and they became the Coven. The Coven stresses highly selective breeding and usually the strongest/highest ranked wolves are allowed to breed. Coven wolves usually value pure-blooded pack members over non-Coven members, regardless of rank. Demigods descendants of the gods Demi-gods are a limited character, and only a certain number are available at any one time. A higher level of activity is expected from Demi-Gods and these positions aren't usually given to new members. Keep an eye on the Lounge for announcements about auditions. A Demi-God is a wolf directly descended from a cross between Narsha and a mortal, or Alsana and a mortal. These wolves are exceptionally powerful, having one power at the IX (ninth) tier. Demi-Gods can accumulate powers like a regular wolf, but tend to gain powers less frequently due to their magical strength. Demigods gain one tier every month starting at three months of age (eg. four months is tier II, five months is tier III) until they reach the ninth tier. Demigods age slower than regular wolves, maturing into adulthood at the age of 2 years, but tend to live up to the age of 14 years. Demigods suffer from infertility and rarely have more than two pups in a litter. Stillborne pups and miscarriage is very common. The children of demigods will also carry the blood of Narsha or Alsana, but will not necessarily inherit the demigod status or power. Most pups from demigods are born as normal wolves. Ghosts everything about ghosties Due to a portal being opened to the Netherworld by a young necromancer named Essha Takahashi Romeno, ghosts have started appearing in the world where they did not before. Previously, ghosts only existed when a necromancer summoned them. Now ghosts roam the lands freely just as a normal wolf would. Ghosts usually appear exactly as they did as mortals except their form is semi-transparent. Ghosts can concentrate their energy and become 'invisible' for brief periods of time. Existing in this non-visible state is extremely exhausting and many ghosts do not do this. Ghosts can also phase (or walk through) things that are on the mortal plain Ghosts are almost exactly like living wolves except they exist on the ghostly plain. Beings cannot interact physically with things not on their own plain of existence, so mortal wolves cannot bite a ghost, and ghosts cannot bite mortal wolves, etc. Magic, however, can effect mortal and ghost wolves equally. This means ghosts can die, in a sense, if they are harmed physically by another ghost or by magic. When a ghost is injured, they heal just as a normal wolf would. Ghosts do not age though. They remain at the age they were when they first became a ghost. Ghosts can return to a mortal form if a tier VIII Necromancer performs a spell on the ghost under the light of a crescent moon. Once returned to the mortal plain, if the character dies, he/she can never become a ghost again. Ghosts also cannot have pups (often this is the reason for ghosts wanting to be mortal again). Ghosts are a restricted character and are only available for creation at certain times. Currently, ghosts are OPEN.
