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.)) |

Name: Tonrar
Meaning "Devil"
Age:
5 Years Gender: Male
Breed: Northern Inuit Dog
Team: Team 2
Role: Lead Dog
Appearance: 
Credit Belongs to the Dearest TenebrisUmbra. She created this lovely piece of art that I now own. This is not Stock Imagery, and the character is mine and mine alone. You do not have permission to use this picture/character.
Tonrar is an athletic and lean dog, with a muscular build designed it seems for running with a sled. He stands at just about 30 inches tall at the shoulder, well within the average for his breed, with a total starting weight of about 95-100 lbs. The lowest he's ever been, which was at the end of a longer race, was at about 80 lbs, and anything less than that would have the male start appearing as malnourished. Tonrar isn't a bulky dog like other breeds are, take the Alaskan Malamute for example, they're more built for brawn and strength, whereas, while he is still strong he is build for stamina or endurance and speed. It's his staying power and ability to think well under pressure while leading his team that puts Tonrar at the head of the pack, something he is quite to remind others of. He's by no means a push over, though, in terms of strength, since he's still a large dog.
Oddly enough, despite his heritage, Tonrar looks more like a Husky than he does a Northern Inuit. Truthfully, he just looks like a really tall stereotypical black and white [or technicaly, for him, black and grey] husky. Or, to better put it, he looks like a wolf with the black and white coat of a husky. And that's what it truly is. The top half os his body is black, where as his underbelly, or the bottom half of his body, is a light grey [instead of being a true white]. For his eyes, his left eye is ice blue whereas his right eyes is a dark brown color.
The other noticable thing about Tonrar is the sheer amount of scars that cover his body. He has several across his figure, some even on his face, like the ones over his left eye. Most of these are from scuffles with other dogs who challenged him. Dogs he was quick to remind of where he stood in comparison to them.
