Struggle to Survive
Hidden deep with in the forest, finding a home along the base of a mountain, a pack of wolves has carved out a life for themselves. While it may be a mediocre life where they barely scrape by, it is a life no less, and it's more than they had before. At a glance, this pack seems normal, maybe a little raggedy, but no different than any other pack. However, upon a closer inspection, one could find that there is nothing normal about this pack. No, instead, this pack is an assortment of misfits, rejects from other packs chased out in hopes they would die and no longer burden them. These wolves were resilient though, and determined to be more than outcasts.
Some how, over time, they all congregated in an unclaimed area around a mountain, and took it for their own. Hard to reach, and well hidden, the pack is pretty sheltered from the outside world. Few packs dare to venture in that far to try and challenge them, and others just don't view them as a threat, so why not let them have their little bit of territory to live out their days? However, even without the constant threat of other packs, this pack does not have it easy. Instead, they must deal with each individual's flaws, the very reasons they were all driven out of their former packs in the first place. The pack has to learn how to function, even with all these faults, to find the strengths among all the weaknesses. While it is a struggle to survive for many of them, the pack has managed, and is scraping by.
Unfortunately, that little pit of life they have created for themselves is now in jeopardy. Wolves, a small group of healthy, normal wolves, has it's eyes set on their small, but flourishing territory for their own. Since this group of wolves isn't big enough to take on healthier, larger packs, the pack of rejects is the only chance they have at starting their own. Taking over, and driving them out is many of the wolves' goals, but the rejects aren't going to go down with out a fight. They will put their lives on the lines, and risk it all for everything they've created for themselves, because, without it, they are nothing.
Basic Information:
The Omega Mountain Pack, or just the Mountain Pack for short, is a pack created out of a bunch of wolves with some sort of flaw. Whether it be physical, mental, emotional, etc. One way or another, there is something about them that made their former pack reject them. These flaws can be something as simple as just being too small, to something as missing a leg. None of the wolves at Omega Mountain have had it easy, but they've found companionship among each other, and have created a home for themselves. They have a small, but lush territory that is perfect for them, and any other pack that wants to start out. It has several food sources such a Caribou, deer, moose, and elk, and smaller prey too. And plenty of water sources as well as shelter and dens. It's small, but has a lot to offer.
The Nomadic Pack, are the healthy group of wolves intent on taking the Omega Mountain territory for their own. They are all adult wolves in their prime, but because there are so few of them, they don't have the numbers to take on actual healthy packs. However, since they don't have a territory, they currently don't have an actual pack name as pack names are decided by the territory they own, hence them being called the Nomadic pack. Not all the wolves want to harm to Mountain Pack, but they know taking it is a necessity. The Leaders, though, have every intention of running them off, and they'll happily kill them all too.

About the Territory
The Omega Mountain Pack have a relatively small territory compared to most wolf territories, amounting to about 15 square miles maximum. It has a variety of vegetation, though most of it is forest. There are a few meadows, and fields spread throughout the forest, the largest meadow actually being a valley at the base of a mountain where much of the pack's prey ventures through. The valley hosts a small river that expands into various small streams that spread across the territory before dying out. There's one other main water source in the western corner of the map, it's a small pond, but it's the only only decent water source in that area, as the river lies in the Eastern area.
The mountain that the pack's territory is known for is massive. It holds various caves for the wolves to retreat to, and the difficult terrain helps deter other wolves who don't know the mountain from attacking. On the other side of the mountain is another patch of forest that makes up much of the valley wedged between the mountains. The river from the other side comes around and waterfalls into a small pool in the smaller valley. This is considered to be the pack's main denning area, they hunker down here when in need of safety and escape, as it is extremely difficult to reach for the uneducated.
The mountain itself is extremely difficult to navigate, making it the pack's biggest advantage when under attack. There are a few paths that lead up the mountain successfully, and a couple that lead around to the valley located behind the mountain. However, unless one has knowledge of the mountain, finding those paths, the corrects ones, is near impossible. Even following the river through the mountains to get to the small waterfall that leads into the valley is difficult. It's not impossible, but it would take a lot of effort and determination.
There are a few other predators that populate the small territory, but they tend to avoid the pack, and leave them be. Coyotes are the only predatory nuisances they deal with, often following the wolves to their kills, and trying to take what they can. They also pose a threat to the young wolves within the pack, especially the pups, so the pack is on constant look out for coyotes when they're out, even more so when at a kill. The pack keeps an eye out for all predators, though, a fresh kill is likely to attract them to the area, putting the weaker wolves at risk.
Prey wise, the small territory is extremely plentiful. While there are only a couple of herds that reside permanently in the expanse of the Mountain Pack's territory, there are several others that travel through it regularly. Accessible prey includes deer, moose, elk, and caribou, the latter being one of the most common. Caribou travel frequently through the territory, and will occasionally camp out as well, and their vast numbers making hunting less daunting. Deer are the easiest to hunt, they're smaller and require less strength to bring down, and there are a couple of small herds in the territory. Elk and Moose frequent the area, one large herd of Elk live right outside the pack's territory, but visit it frequently enough that they're basically residents. The pack will occasionally target them, but there is great risk involved, so they are very careful when doing so. Moose, though, even a single moose on it's own, they won't even try, unless it is injured or dying. They prove to be too dangerous to even attempt to go after. Along with these main food sources, there are smaller options to like hares and squirrels, but they offer little.
Due to the fact that the territory is located so far away from civilization, human encounters are rather rare. About the only time they're ever seen is during hunting season for the prey animals, or the occasional poacher. However, if humans did manage to reach the pack's territory it could be devastating to the pack, as they're not as likely to escape from traps and guns, even healthy wolves struggle with that. Thankfully, because their territory is so hard to reach, and so small, the chances of that occurring are slim, and the pack doesn't worry about it really like other packs might.
The Weather & Seasons
The weather in the territory is kind of wishy washy. Winters are definitely more extreme than summers, which can make life a little tough. Summers are rather moderate, temperatures tend not to rise above the mid-90s, but sometimes they do. Winters, though, are different. They start and end fairly moderately, as expected, but the coldest of months are bitter. Blizzards are frequent, and the snow is thick and high, making walking difficult and even harder on those who already struggle. The temperatures are often low but tolerable by most of the wolves during the day, but regularly fall below zero at night. Sometimes, during the worst of times, the days and nights are even colder. Fall is a pleasant time for the wolves, the temperatures are mild, and enjoyable, same with the spring.
During monsoons the mountains and valleys can be dangerous, because when it rains, it pours. Mud and rock slides are not unheard of, so when it's raining the wolves have to be cautious when in those areas. The small river can flood too, but it's not as dangerous as mudslides from the mountains. Monsoon season for the area tends to be from mid-spring to the beginning of fall, though a few storms close to winter aren't unheard of. It tends to be more humid during the rainy months too. |

Name:
Fleur Age:
3 Years Gender:
Female Rank:
Pack Member Appearance:
Fluer is a female on the medium to smaller size of wolves, standing only about 27 inches at the shoulder, and weighing about 70-75 lbs depending on how much she has eaten recently. She's a lean female, clearly not built for physical strength, but more so agility, and with her long legs, likely endurance too. Of course, that is when she is actually feeling up to it. More often than not, Fleur is tired or doesn't trust herself to actually go about doing normal things. Her coat is soft and a bit fluffy, more silky in texture than fuzz. Her eyes are a bright, emerald green, that stand out easily from her pale colored coat. Her coat, with it's three base colors that are pictured, also has faint speckling of while over her tail and flanks. It isn't the most noticable thing, but it adds a bit of a whimsical look to the female, like she always has a slight dusting of snow on her.
Personality:
Fleur is a friendly she-wolf, who tends to not form deep attachments and keeps others at arm's length. She isn't really the type to go out of her way for others, but she isn't unfriendly either. She can and will hold a conversation with anyone who wants to, and she will lend an ear when needed. However, due to her mild trust issues, she tends to be a bit wary of others, especially new wolves. Eventually she does warm up, but it takes a lot to get past the walls she has created to isolate herself. The female is also a bit insecure about the seizures that plague her, and while she feels like she fits in with the Mountain Pack, there is part of her that steal feels a bit like an outsider.
Flaw(s):
Fleur has Epilepsy that was brought on by Trauma when she was young. It primarily only causes smaller seizures like Myoclonic and Absence Seizures, but she is occasionally hit with a Grand Mal Seizure.
Crush:
Open Mate:
None Pups:
None Other:
Because of how the seizures would affect her, the pack she was in prior to the Mountain Pack forced her out and left her for dead (after nearly killing her) because they thought she was possessed or a demon. |

My Alpha Male
Name:
Berengar;
Often just Beren, Ber or even Bear
Meaning Bear & Spear
Age: 5 Years
Gender:
Male
Pack:
Omega Mountain Pack Rank:
Alpha Male Appearance:
Credit for Artwork Belongs to Dandycoxy on DA. This is an OC I own. This is NOT Stock.
Berengar is a wolf of rather large and intimidating proptions. Standing at 35 in tall at the shoulder, and a hefty 160 lbs, it's evident that this male is a powerful creature. Built sturdy and strong, Beren possesses thick muscle tone throughout his entire physique. He wasn't build for speed, in the slightest, and more so functions as powerhouse when fighting. He's capable of tanking several blows, while also dealing out his own strikes. He was aptly named, as the male is a bear to go up against.
The durable creature has a robust build, with a wide chest, broad head and shoulders, and powerful jaws. His hind legs are well muscled, letting him propel himself forward with significant strength and a bit of speed. He can do a quick, short sprint, but he isn't designed for long term chases or speed. His wide paws are like snowshoes, capable of carrying him through most terrains.
Beyond that, Berengar has a rather unique appearance, in more ways than just his nubbed tail. He's a medly of different shades of brown, golden tan, and white. It's an intriguing look that is certainly eye catching to those around him. With dark brown covering most of his back, and white for his under belly, neck and chest, the male has a striking appearance. His legs are golden tan, darkening a bit at his ankles, before giving way to white paws. His tail, what is left of it that is, is a light brown on time, and white underneath. His head, which holds the most coloration, has a dark brown mask on his muzzle, medium brown marking on his head, the same tan of his legs on his cheeks, with white on the sides of his muzzle and as eyebrow spots, his lower jaw also being the tan color. All of these markings look as if they sit upon a light brother color that fills the space they don't cover, and travels down passed the nape of his neck. This color then starts to travel down in a V towards his chest, transitioning into the darker brown as it goes, the point of the V being the darkest shade.
Along his body, where the dark brown resides, are zigzagging striping that is even darker than the brown it rests on. The only exception is along his side, almost on his ribs, where it lightens randomly, almost as if a permanent sun ray washes over them to give them a lighter appearance. Oddly enough, none of the striping extends passed the dark brown of his body, never touching another color.
The male's eyes are a bright and vibrant green, quite lime in color. His vocals are a deep baritone, not quite basso, but close. His scent arome is something rich and musky, like soil and woods.
Personality: TBD
- Serious but Calm
- Doesn't really joke around much
- Intelligent and Surprisingly Calculating
- Not Overtly Talkative, but Not Unsocial
- Does not like Drama
- Loves and Adores Pups
- Endless amounts of Patience
- Lots of Love and Caring Underneath Tough Exterior
Flaw(s):
Anosmia
He has lost his sense of smell. After receiving head trauma, the male no longer has the ability to smell. His previous pack deemed him unfit to stay, and exiled him under the threat of death.
The same accident that took his sense of smell also amputated his tail to the nub it is. While it affects him none, it's definitely odd. Crush: None
Mate: The Alpha Female;
Though he views it as a necessary dynamic not because he has love in his heart.
He more so views her as a good friend to protect.
Pups: None Biologically.
Poss. Open to Adopting.

My Nomadic Pack Member
Name:Tavarious;
Often called Tavar
Age:4 Years
Gender:Male
Pack:
Nomadic Pack
Rank:
Pack Member
Appearance:
Tavarious is a slightly above average specimen, not the largest wolf to ever be seen, but not one to be written off either. He stands at about 33 inches at the shoulder, and weighs around 140 lbs when well fed. His appearance is rather unassuming, not one that comes off innately threatening or intimidating, instead, he comes across exactly as his personality is. Relatively harmless.
Tav has an athletic and lean build, a mix of balanced power. He isn't the strongest male, though he could hold his own if he ever fought, but not the fastest either. His speed and agility is better than this bigger, stronger wolves, but he won't win the races against the smaller swifter canines either. Overall, though, he's a good balance, and someone who does well in most situations, if it doesn't require him to do any significant brutality.
The male is considerably proud of his fur, having a thick and dense coat, though it is on the slightly coarse side. It allows him to stay warm in even the coldest of winters, and, when he sheds, it prevents him from overheating in the warmer temperatures too. He does his best to keep himself well groomed, but the slightly erratic male doesn't always do a good job. He fur is often a bit tufted, and holds debris in it without him really realizing. It was, after all, Selene who helped him keep up his appearance, and he doesn't realize the disarray that his fur has become in her unrealized absence.
His fur is primarily white and light grey in appearance, making up majority of the color of his coat. However, he does have some hints of cream on him as well. They're primarily right be his eyes, and a bit on his flanks and tail too. The only other markings the male has are in black upon his shoulders and back, and his tail.
He has dark amber eyes that are an unusual color. They aren't quite brown or gold, but also aren't red. Instead they lay somewhere in between, though they hedge towards the brown side. His vocals are on the deeper side too, baritone by nature, with a slight husky tone to them. He'd be an attractive male with a good voice if he wasn't a little crazy.
One thing many don't realize until they get closer, though, is that, surprisingly, Tavarious has a plethora of scars littering his figure. They're all masked by his coat and mostly hidden from sight, since none are signficant, but they are there. All of them have been received by his former pack that bullied him consistently, before running him off in an attempt to kill him.
Personality:
Tavarious is not a harsh male. He is a kind and giving soul who enjoys the company of others. However, it's quite apparent there this is something odd about the male, something that's just not... right. He is pleasant to be around, but anyone who isn't familiar with Tavarious and his oddities is often offput by the male's abnormalities. He's perfectly healthy if you ignore the voices that plague his mind, and the hullcinations that he sees, albeit he doesn't realize they are. If you can ignore that, one can find a caring and sweet male beneath, someone who is warm and welcoming towards most and just enjoys existing.
Tavar enjoys life, he enjoys living, and he's a very joyful wolf, a simplistic and innocent glee constantly seems to course through the male. The only time you'll ever see him disgruntled is when he is feeling ashamed of his aberrations or they're giving him a hard time, which they do, quite a bit.
He is a simple male, enjoying everything and anything life has to offer. He doesn't hold grudges, and he doesn't get mad often. More or less, when he is irritated, all anyone will see is likely a small sense of frustration. He isn't a violent fellow either, in fact, he has a hard time with it.That being said, Tavarious is rather skilled in the art of battle. He's had to fight tooth and claw for every breath he's taken since his aberrations become to be. Not everyone is very welcoming to a wolf who regularly hears voices in his head.
The male is a bit on the forgetful side, and often chalks it up to be a symptom of just having a rather full head in general. There's no more space left for anything else to be retained, at least that's what he jokes whenever he forgets something. Tav is an easy going male, the type to go with the flow so long as it isn't putting his life, or anyone else's, in danger. He isn't confrontational or argumentative, in fact, verbal sparring intimidates him, and you'll often find him shutting down a bit when words are thrown at him. He just doesn't handle conflict well, he always had Selene for that.
The personalities of the voices in Tavar's head are rather different from their host. There are four, though the last he doesn't realize is actually in his head.
The first voice, the one who scares him the most is a male of significant brutality. Always whispering about death and malice. It desires nothing more than for bloodshed and pain. It encourages things that Tavar would never find himself doing, and it's the one he struggles the most with. Whenever this voice is speaking, you're likely to find Tavar a bit away from others, out of fear, and in a rather sullen mood. He is terrified of this voice and what he tries and might even make him do one day.
The second voice is that of a female, a complete opposite of the first voice. She's reassuring and benevolent. Whenever the first comes, the second is too far behind. He's rather fond of this one, and regularly will engage in conversation with her if she's present. She helps make him feel secure and encourages him to help others and do good things. She, and Selene, are the onlys one, so far, who help him deal with the voice of the first.
The third is a male, a more neutral voice. He isn't very present nor vocal often, though he always seems to be lingering in the background. He has little to say, but when he does speak, Tavar has a tendency to listen to him, as he is far more rational about things than he could ever be.
The fourth voice, the one he doesn't realize is in his head, is that of his best friend, and love, Selene. Unbeknowst to Tavar, or, more so deeply hidden within his subconscious, Selene died whilst trying to aid in their escape from their former pack. To him she is very much alive, and he doesn't realize she isn't there any longer and that others can't hear her. This voice is exactly like Selene was when she was alive. She helps him keep his sanity, and she makes him feel accepted and loved.
Views on the Mountain Pack: He doesn't mind them, and doesn't understand the hatred and rejection they receive. To him, they are just like him, and he hopes for a future where maybe the two packs can merge rather than down an avenue of violence.
Crush: Negatory, to him Selene is everything.
He doesn't realize she's dead so he's loyal.
Mate: They were never mates, but there was a lifelong knowing of love between him and Selene.
Pups: None, he's terrified to pass on his own genes.
Other:
It's important to know that Tavarious does not know that Selene died. To him she is very much so, and to try and tell him otherwise would likely break his entire psyche. It's imperitive that wolves carry on the illusion she is there with them, or avoid interacting with him when they can.
Other:
He and his friend, Selene, ran from their former pack. He was picked up by the Alpha Female of the Nomadic Pack.
