I, myself, am leaning towards the last remaining survivors of the pack and the plague plotline. I think if we want to do the healer, we could definitely still implement it, it might just look a little different than in the house idea.

I think the reason why I lean toward last remaining survivors of the pack and plague is because it would need less characters

In this way I would see the healer probably tired and desperate. Very tired of watching wolves they can't save die, but probably has to keep everyone else's spirits up, as they would probably depend heavily on the healer although the healer wasn't able to do much to help

I actually like that plot best as well, I only suggested the other one because we were asked for more suggestions. Plagues are just great, man :) In the case of the healer, it might also be that their knowledge is extra important - they can teach others how to care for the sick ones or just be greedy and hold their position over everyone's heads.

So it could be the above and the healer is nice, or the healer might have become tired and cynical and decided that they need compensation. So if the wolves survive maybe it could start a thing about how they are selective how healers are chosen

I would like to start working on characters on the weekend, so hopefully have a basic plot by then. Because most people have more time on the weekends I assume so that we can at least get that started.

Alright, so we have the plague plot, and the survivors are travelling, perhaps to find new leadership. We might do them as opposing packs or one pack. We'll have all ages, and the healer will be important. That's what we have so far, right?

I believe so.

So for an idea one character could be the former alpha's child, and think they are all important.

Of that's what you want to do with yours (or if someone else wants to snatch it up), sounds good to me!

I have an arrogant character who would fit that I use a lot, but I figured that I would leave that open for now and see if anyone wants to do that.

Do you have ideas what you want your character to do? Personally, I am aiming for two.

After other roleplays, I want to plan drama for my character before I make it because I've had pointless characters before that had nothing to do and it was stressful and boring

Not entirely sure about my character yet. I'm thinking of a more strict and rules-oriented wolf who has trouble functioning without a highly structured pack, or I might do a gentler, level-headed one with more fragile health. Or both.
