Feelings of anxiety that make you tense and irritable.
Previously administered by Swaggyrollie. We worked on this RP together, and I co-hosted the previous forum because of this. I do not wish for this concept to die, so I have chosen to revamp it.
Two wolf packs torn through a generational vendetta, forced by mother nature to work alongside each other to avoid succumbing to an unforgiving Winter. Prey is scarce, winds are bitter, and teeth are bared. A disease is ravaging both packs, which seems to be sourced from prey as well as bodily fluids. There is little you can do to help an infected wolf other than to wish them farewell. While all will eventually perish from this pestilence, those with a weakened immune system, such as the young, sick and old tend to die out much more rapidly and catch it easier. The pestilence carries petrifying symptoms, such as foaming at the mouth, coughing blood, loss of appetite, confusion, fever and eventually, death.
The packs are based on the side of the Matterhorn mountain in the Swiss Alps. Both territories combined is 43km². Süd is based on the lower parts of the territory, below the ledges, cliff faces and overhangs. It is in a valley and a glacial cirque, their dens being inside the valley. The pack’s water comes from the stream that flows through said valley. Süd also has their territory amongst the Matterhorn town, and comes across tourists and locals often, though they always leave each other alone. Norden is based at the top of the territory. Norden’s dens are near Zmuttbach and Seebach, at the northwest of the territories. The most common death among the packs is from wolves who don’t look where they are going, and end up falling into the valley. Matterhorn contains a lot of rocks, snow and ice. The terrain is not merciful to any wolf, especially in Winter when the snow is heavy and frostbite comes easily.
1. Your character needs to be realistic in most aspects. If you cannot find an image of a real wolf or similar canid (coyote, jackal, etc.) with the coat you want to use, then you can't use it. Wolves would not be capable of sign language, writing in dirt or building elaborate structures. The furthest craftmanship your wolf will be able to carry out is using leaves to hold things, tying things poorly with vines and using sharp objects to help with hunting. No more.
2. Generally, don't make your character cringy.
3. Tied into the above rule, no mary-sue type characters. Your character will have faults.
4. Make things fair and equal, keep the ratio of sexes, roles, etc as even as possible.
5. You must tryout for higher ranked positions! We want active, decent roleplays to be in major positions to prevent the roleplay dying. I want you to PM me your past roleplays (doesn't have to be on-site) as well as a rough idea of how active you are.
6. Avoid making your own characters be tied to each other (mates, family members...).
7. Wolves die from old age at 15 years old.
8. Maximum of 20 characters within each pack, with each roleplayer being allowed 6 characters total.
9. Don't fight over roles, please.
10. Maximum of 5 dispersals.
11. This roleplay is literate, you are required to write a minimum of a two paragraphs per post, and are expected to write more. If you cannot meet this standard, don't sign up; or take a break from the rp until you can.
12. Your character must loosely fit it's region. Please don't sign up to the roleplay with a North American/Asian/whatever species of wolf. This is set in Switzerland.
