Frost Bitten
Everyone knows of the famous Sled Dog races, those like the Iditarod and the Yukon quest. So when a brand new race was announced, excitement thrived, all the teams wondering if this could be the next big race. Rather uniquely, the race has been called the Alaskan Challenge, as its run completely through Alaska, over some of the harshest conditions known. Its a 1,000 mile race that was just destined to claim the lives of those who dared to challenge her. And, on the race’s debut you, it did just that.
Tragedy strikes as two sled teams are swept off the trek by an avalanche, injuring many, and killing some. Lost, and left for dead, the Teams are surrounded by danger and have to learn to survive in order to make it to safety. Unfortunately for them, the Alaskan Wilderness is extremely dangerous, and threats lurk behind every tree, just waiting for them to make a mistake, for someone to get left behind. While their delicate existence is on the brink of being snuffed out, help might come from the most unexpected of places: wolves. While some of the predatory canines want nothing more than to see the dogs die, some have other desires and wish to help them. And, with how harsh the wilderness around them is, the dogs need every little bit of help they need.
With tensions running high, and time running out, its up to them to work together and save themselves. Otherwise, they may as well just curl up in the snow and wait to die.

Information
The Breeds
For the purpose of this Rp, I will be providing a List of Dog Breeds you can use to make your Sled Dogs. You can use a purebred, or do a mixed breed of the ones provided, but you do have to use the breeds on the list. However, if you do think that a breed belongs on the list that isn't included, feel free to Pm me about it!
Sled Dog Breeds:
- Alaskan Husky
- Siberian Husky
- Alaskan Malamute
- Samoyed
- Greenland Dog
- Canadian Eskimo Dog
- Seppala
- Mackenize River Husky
- Tamaskan Dog
- Northern Inuit Dog
- Utonagan Dog
- Finnish Spitz
- Eurohound
- Keeshond
Again, you do have to use the dogs on the list. I don't want to see any Labrador Poodle mixes trying to be on the team. They won't be accepted. And no Wolf-Dogs either.
The Positions
Lead Dogs
There are usually two Lead Dogs on each team, though a team can be lead with just one at the helm, and they are the ones who lead the teams through the races. Lead dogs often have to be intelligent, somewhat independent, have common sense, and they must be able to find the trail in harsh conditions. They are, in every sense, the bosses of the team. These dogs usually have a strong drive to run, and can make their own decisions if a command they’re given is bad.
Swing Dogs
These are the two dogs who are hitched directly behind the Lead Dogs. Their primary job is to steer the team and to make the turns/arcs and keep the team on the trail. These might also be Back up Lead dogs or Lead dogs in training too, so if needed they can lead at times. They also are dogs who have experience as Team Dogs.
Team Dogs
These are the dogs between the Swing Dogs and the Wheel Dogs, there can be anywhere from 2 to 8 team dogs on a single team, though the normal is 6. Together, they are the teams brawn, their primary job is to pull the sled and offerr muscle to the team. They the speed the team runs at too. It's not unusual to see other dogs from other positions take up Team Dog positions either.
Wheel Dogs
These are two dogs closest to the sled behind the Team Dogs. They are always some of the largest dogs on the team, and are usually the strongest of the team. They are considered the powerhouse, as they are the first to take on the brunt of the load the team is pulling, especially when going uphill. While the Lead Dogs might lead the team and everything, and the Swing Dogs are the ones who steer the team, it's the Wheel Dogs who steer the sled.
((Keep in mind I'm not a Sledding Expert, so these may not be 100% accurate.)) |

[1/3]Name:Kavik
Age:7 Years
Gender:Male
Breed:Alaskan Husky
Team:Team 1 For Now;I may move him to Team 2 if Needed.
Role:Team Dog
Appearance:
Credit: Stock Image, Credit goes to CaballineCreations on DA
Kavik is pretty big for being an Alaskan husky, but it is believed it's because he has a larger dog breed, like a malamute, recently in his lineage. He stands about 28 inches at the shoulder, and weighs a solid 76 lbs. He does vary in weight occasionally, especially now that he's older. So it isn't unsual to see him drop a few pounds and then gain them back quickly. He might not be very old, at nearly 7 years, but he and his body have been through quite a lot, and it's taken a heavier tole on him. His coat is medley of black, grey, white, and a bit of tan, almost black agouti, giving him a dark, but beautiful pelt. What completes his look is the pair of bright, ice blue eyes that reside in his head, giving him both an eerie, but expressive look. He's got a large paws, and a muscular build, and is a considerably athletic dog. If he wasn't so banged up when he was younger, he likely could continue racing into his teens. Unfortunately, arthritis has begun to take it's hold on him, and despite the variety of supplements he's on, it still causes him pain now and again. Most noticably, he will limp when he's too stiff, or has been worked/ran too long. It goes away with some rest, but it's just one of those things.
Personality:Kavik is a rather level headed creature, not one to lose his temper if he even has one. He's a patient and quiet male who isn't one to be aggressive towards others, believing there's no room for that on the team. He's a determined and hard worker, and if the type to keep pushing himself even after he should have stopped. When he doesn't feel well, or his body is stiff and pained, he can be a little grump, and when he's like that he just wants to be left alone. Kavik is kind of like the wise old grandpa on the team, and often feels the tired from the energy of the younger dogs on the team.
Crush:Open
Mate:None
Pups: Kavik could be the father to dogs on either team, pm if you want.
Other:Kavik has pretty much experience in every position on the team. So he's comfortable anywhere. |

[2/3]
Name:
Yaktag Age:
5 Years Gender:
Male Breed:
Alaskan Malamute Team:
Team One Role:
Wheel Dog Appearance:
Credit belongs to FurLined on DA. Stock Image.
Yaktag is a large dog, even for an Alaskan Malamute, standing at 30 inches and weighs a hefty 146 lbs. He is a staggering sight to behold, but when someone sees where he is on the lineup, it isn't that surprising. Being a wheel dog he, and his counterpart, take the brunt of the sled, pulling and steering it as if it were nothing but a feather. Yak's body is wound with powerful muscle, bulky and quite heftf, giving him an aura riddled with strength. However, that bulk is also built for endurance, able to run and pull the sled for quite some time.
The large male has a shorter coat, not being the shaggy variety of Malamute. It's thick and a bit coarse to the touch, able to keep it warm in even the coldest of temperatures. His coat is made up of two colors, white and an orange red. His base is white, covering him all over, whereas the russet color is his markings. He has the standard markings, the russet color covering his body from the top of his head and his ears and down to his tail, going down his body on either side before fading into the white partially down his legs. Of course, as it does go down his legs, the color does fade in pigment, going from the orange red to an actual organge color. His face markings are pretty stereotypical as well, the red covering the top of his head, coming down to frame his cheeks, as well as red points on his face around his eyes and a stripe from his forehead down to touch his nose.
His eyes, which are often closed because the male enjoys his naps, are a dark brown color, with the slightest hint of red to them. His scent is something musky and woody, masculine without being overpowering. His voice is deep, a bit husky, maybe even gravelly when he talks.
(Yak is based somewhere between the standard size and the giant size for Alaskan Malamutes.)
Personality:
Yaktag is a quiet male, not friendly quiet, but stand offish and quiet. He isn't unfriendly or friendly, preferring to keep to his own company than the presence of others. The only companionship he really tolerates well is his Wheel Dog counter part. He obviously tolerates the team in general, but he doesn't have the same tolerance for them as he does his Wheel Partner.
