BORN AGAIN Plot An advancement in science has produced some of the most exciting pushes in humanity in recent years - cloning. While scientists, and mostly private companies, have been able to obtain close replicas using existing descendants related to their desired species, they have finally, and successfully, created the first carbon copies of their first experiments - the Dire Wolf. Bringing this species back to life was a huge milestone after about fifty years of consistent experiements and the discovery of more fossils. People doubted the teams working on such a project, convinced that there were larger things to worry about. But nontheless, it worked, and it definitely is an event to be mentioned in future history books. However, what happens when these apex predators are released into the wild? The idea was simple - release about seven wolves into Yellowstone in hopes of studying their behavior and interaction with your average wolf species. This, despite the hopeful response, was the exact opposite - a disaster. These wolves managed to not only escape their facility they were being held at, but because of the remote location of said facility, they were almost impossible to track. Roughly ten wolves, all reborn in a new world that may not accept them, roam the unfamiliar wilderness after ten thousand and then some years of not walking on planet Earth. How will they adjust to a foreign world?

Im asking for at least 250 words per response. Obviously more is welcome, but I'm hoping this would be enough to keep things moving and at a considerable pace. Your sheets should also reflect this! -
Do not join just to not post. If you can post once a week, then you're in. If you feel like you can not meet that requirement, either don't join or notify me. Id also like it if you state that you're no longer interested, will be going on a hiatus, etc. Communication is important! -
These should all really go without saying but; No OP characters, flawless characters, characters that are constantly stealing the spotlight, etc. It's quite annoying. -
Characters should have at least 3-4 strengths and weaknesses. -
Be inclusive of everyone. This should be a laid back, fun RP for everyone to get to know one another and to indulge in the world our characters are thriving in. -
I am only allowing one character per person, but based on interest, this can change. -
Not necessarily a rule, but always leave a suggestion if you have one! I love things like worldbuilding and it's exciting when others are just as invested as I am in something. -
As far as characters go; please follow what I have put into the extra info section regarding appearance and sizing. It's pretty open ended, but if you have questions, let me know!
-

BORN AGAIN Dire Wolf Info [following information found online + with my own twists for fun] The Dire Wolf, originally an extinct species of canine, has been resurrected in the near future. While the extinct wolves were roughly the same size as the modern gray wolf, this time around, they are much different. Standing at almost four and a half to five feet depending on gender, they appear mostly the same as the common wolf today. These canines have quite broad heads and longer snouts and large jaws. Their claws and teeth are a bit overgrown, allowing for better speed and grasping on to prey while hunting. Their coloring varies on region and where they may be from, but since these lab-grown pups are from the same areas, most are gray, black, white, with the occassional brown fella. Contrary to belief, the Dire Wolf rarely ever traveled or lived in packs, but rather had yearly hunting rituals that allowed for them to all join together as one. Very rarely would one discover these beasts all together consistently. They are very territorial and are protective of what they believe is theirs. Their heirarchy when in these groups are mostly based on what is seen today - dominance. A role of age also plays a part as well some scientists have noted. However, roaming the new wilderness, they are not worried about their ranks - just how to survive. Breeding patterns is similar to modern wolves, though normally only have 1-4, rarely more, due to the sheer size of pups and the limited resources that the ancestrial wolves had. It is possibly that now - after cloning - that they can have more, though this has yet to be proven. Also, each wolf is tattooed with a specific order of a letter and numbers. They use 'F' and 'M' for female and male respectfully, followed by the number of the month they were born (example: 01 or 12), the number they were out of their litter (1, 2, 3, 4), and their cage number (any number between 1 and 50). This is found on the inside of their back leg or in their ears, sometimes both. For example: M03429 Male, born in March, the fourth puppy in his litter, and cage 29
The humans will refer to them using these. Sometimes, most likely a young individual who may be shadowing at the Pit or going through an internship, may assign names but they never stick and they prefer not to name them to prevent people from getting attached. Remember, the wolves are experiments. World The wolves managed to escape from the company facility, also known as the Pit. The Pit is located in a remote forest in the pacific northwest with high prey and predator population. The wolves will have the ability to wander pretty much anywhere, though the chance of humans, especially from the Pit, are high. The most common prey would be things like deer, rabbits, sometimes smaller animals such as a squirrel. The other animals that roam the forest include raccoons, birds - such as bald eagles and owls, skunks, bats, and sometimes the bighorn sheep depending on your current region. Other larger predators include grizzly bears and cougars. Edited at April 10, 2025 08:22 PM by Mercenary

Isa Female | 2.3 y/o | Dire Wolf Serial Number: F020111 Appearance: Personality: Isa is the embodiment of instict and primal drive, a constant force completing important tasks. Her skills are unmatched and her tongue is sharp, one that could be offensive yet truthful. With a blunt mouth and a driving work ethic, Isa is confident in herself to a point that it may seem egotistical. You can tell by how high she holds her head and how how hears point forwards, her footsteps light and nimble and her eyes narrowed in on her next location. She tends to be a bit reserved however, mostly standoffish and is quie apathetic to those around her. Perhaps she is selfish, though she does not always think about herself. She has a witty though process - one that works well under high amounts of stress - and is useful in conflicts. Isa is considered to be rude, egotistical, and a brat, but beneath this, she has a bit more of a softer, nuturing side. She seems to be like a younger sister - willing to go on adventures and try new things. Isa is rather outgoing, always looking for something to keep herself busy, even if it isn't "fun". She's a bit of a tease - and a flirt - though her emotions are not what they seem to be most of the time. That being said, she beats around the bush most times in regards of her true feelings. While she may enjoy your company and say flirtacious things, that does not mean she would pursue something with you. She's always been open for things, but has yet to truly commit, and she's unsure she ever will. She does not like the idea of being tied down as her soul is as free as can be. Isa, although a bit rude and a brat, enjoys the company of others. She's a social creature after all, but Strengths: Weaknesses: Kin: Open to littermates Affiliations: TBD Crush: Open Offspring: None, but possible Other: Read the rules :) Edited at April 11, 2025 01:44 PM by Mercenary

Darkseeker

B A N E male | 3yrs old | dire wolf | SERIAL # | M03158 | APPEARANCE | base credits: TNRwolf [TH], designed by me. Of a rather formidable 5ft and 165lbs, the brute proudly displays a blended pelt of various blacks, browns, and warm gray tones. His markings are only truly visible within the direct sunlight; shadows making him appear to be just a solid black wolf. With a darker face and lighter underbelly, mottled flecks of brunette fur surrounding, Bane blends into his new surroundings effortlessly. His fur is medium in length, longer tufts branching out along his joints and vital organs for extra insulation and protection during disputes. Tall ears poke out from feathered fur, always indicative to how he’s truly feeling. In the dark, Bane’s only true defining feature is his deep amber gaze- never afraid to bore into your soul. | PERSONALITY | Much debate can arise from the topic of Bane’s personality as it greatly differs depending on whom he’s conversing with. Oftentimes he’s seen as stoic, a rational brute who doesn’t seem to contain much of an active imagination; a bit of an ass. He can be short-tempered but it’s near-always internalized, anger never outwardly spoken unless you’ve really pissed him off. Stubborn as a mule, he’s known as the type to hold grudges; Bane isn’t against slowly picking apart someone’s life until it collapses. He’s calculative, cold, and can be a bit manipulative if he finds someone for him to push around- impeccably silver tongued. He has quite a curious mind, but never voices the questions which arise in fear of being looked down on, or considered “unintelligent”. Insecurity is perhaps the biggest flaw this brute contains; hidden deep under layers of feigned confidence which he displays outwardly. However, to some Bane appears in an entirely different light. He’s quiet yet thoughtful, always pensive about something or the other no matter how insignificant; a compassionate ruffian with a soft side for deep contemplation. He’s an enjoyer of the small things in life, the ripple of the moon’s light reflecting on the river, the bee’s gentle embrace of a flower’s petals in the spring. He’s always been the type to get lost in such miniscule beauties, rooting from his days stuck in four barred metal walls. Perhaps that moment in his life has given him a finer view on such things; or perhaps it’s made him all the more cruel. | DISPOSITION | He contains a soulful and grim disposition, often appearing broody or comtemplative. | STRENGTHS | ✩ His size has proven to be a helpful tool; providing him an advantage in most hunts as well as disputes. He's often intimidating enough to scare off whatever creature's trying to steal his prize. ✩ Bane is incredibly calculative, often thinking things through more than the average male. This can be very useful in high-stress situations as he's able to remain calm and debate his next course of action. ✩ His confidence, although exaggerated, is one of his finest strengths. He's able to talk himself out, or into nearly anything by purely acting confident. While some would consider this manipulative, Bane considers it a useful strategy. ✩ The brute contains a surprising amount of stamina for a large wolf, not easily winded or fatigued while others may need to rest more frequently. | WEAKNESSES | ✩ Due to his mid-size weight, he doesn't contain the same amount of force as the larger dire wolves or predators. The wolf must rely on other strategies when encountering beasts larger than him. ✩ While he does have enough agility to hold his weight against larger foes, he's not nearly lean enough to keep up with smaller wolves or predators; often seen as slow and clumsy in comparison. ✩ He has a tendency to be over-protective of those he forms bonds with, often treating them as if they're made of glass. While this could be considered a good thing; he takes it to new levels and has risked his life to protect others he barely knows. ✩ Bane suffers from chronic pain due to joint issues; likely a result of being confined in a crate for a good chunk of his life. Due to this, he may be a bit slow or distracted at times. | AFFILIATIONS | to be determined open to friends & acquaintances | KIN | open to littermates | ROMANTIC INTEREST | to be determined in roleplay. | OTHER | i used google for extra info on dire wolves; so if anything's inaccurate let me know and i'll change it.

DANTE ────────⊹⊱✫⊰⊹──────── Name: Dante Name Meaning: To Harden and Endure Name Origin: Originates from the Latin term "Durante", meaning "Steadfast" Pronunciation: DON-tay Nicknames: None. Serial Number: M06107 ────────⊹⊱✫⊰⊹──────── Age: 2.8 Years Old Sex: Male Species: Dire Wolf ────────⊹⊱✫⊰⊹──────── Appearance: ────────⊹⊱✫⊰⊹──────── Personality: Confident ♚ Clever ♚ Ambitious ♚ Manipulative ♚ Short Fused ♚ Persuasive ♚ Stubborn ♚ Cunning ♚ Arrogant ♚ Sponatanious ♚ Perceptive ♚ Impulsive ♚ Impatient ♚ Insensitive ♚ Blunt ♚ Challenging ♚ Charming Dante is an impressive dire wolf, holding himself with great esteem and confidence—he is a striking figure, commanding attention with his powerful stature and piercing gaze that seems to evaluate everything and everyone around him. The way he carries himself speaks volumes; each movement is deliberate, imbued with an air of authority that suggests he is not to be trifled with. Confident, clever, and ambitious, Dante navigates the complexities of his environment with a sharp intellect that allows him to outmaneuver rivals and allies alike, often orchestrating intricate plans that leave others in awe of his cunning. Yet, beneath the surface of this imposing exterior lies a labyrinth of conflicting traits. His manipulative nature often leads him to orchestrate situations to his advantage, using his charm to sway others while masking his true intentions, a skill honed through years of experience in a world where trust is hard-earned and easily shattered. However, this cunning approach can quickly turn sour, revealing his short fuse; Dante is known to explode with impatience when things do not go according to plan, his temper flaring like a wildfire that consumes everything in its path. His impulsive decisions, driven by a deep-seated need for approval and recognition, often leave him in precarious situations, resulting in a trail of broken alliances and wary glances cast his way, leaving others to wonder whether they can trust his judgment or if they are merely pawns in his elaborate game. Despite his arrogance and superiority complex, there is a perceptive side to Dante that allows him to read the emotions of those around him with uncanny accuracy, though he often chooses to ignore them, opting instead for a blunt and challenging demeanor that can come off as insensitive and harsh. This defensive mechanism serves as both a shield and a sword, protecting him from vulnerability while simultaneously alienating those who might otherwise stand by his side. His loyalty is fiercely reserved for his family alone, a small circle that he protects with a tenacity that is both admirable and suffocating. This exclusivity causes him to be picky about his associations, demanding unwavering allegiance in return for the trust he so carefully doles out. Dante’s ability to charm and persuade is undeniable, an enchanting quality that draws others to him like moths to a flame. Yet, his stubbornness can alienate potential allies, making it difficult for him to share his emotions or seek help when he needs it most. He often finds himself trapped in a cycle of self-reliance, believing that to rely on others is a sign of weakness, which further complicates his already tumultuous relationships. In moments of solitude, he reflects on his choices, but the fear of vulnerability looms large, casting a shadow over any desire he might have to open up. In a world where trust is a rare commodity, Dante’s self-preserving instincts often take precedence over compassion, leaving him to grapple with the complexities of his character. Struggling to find a balance between his ambitious pursuits and the relationships he cultivates, he remains a force to be reckoned with—a dire wolf whose journey is marked by both triumph and tribulation. As he ventures forward, the question remains: will he learn to embrace vulnerability and allow others in, breaking down the walls he has so meticulously built around himself, or will he continue to navigate life alone, driven solely by his relentless ambition? The path ahead is fraught with challenges, but perhaps, within the depths of his fierce spirit, lies a flicker of hope—a chance for redemption and connection that could alter the course of his destiny. . Strengths: - LOYALTY; Dante's loyalty to his family, in particular, is above anything else in his head and stronger than anything he feels for anyone else. As of now, that is. He would lay down his life to make sure his family was safe, and if not by falling, going out of his way to make sure they are safe. - RESILIENCE; Despite facing significant emotional challenges, Dante displays resilience and a willingness to adapt to difficult circumstances, as seen in his constant struggles throughout his time in Yellowstone so far. - QUICK WITTED; Dante is capable of deducing things and coming up with clever plans based on a small amount of information. He is always first to step up when it comes to planning and is amazing with directional feed and thoughts as to what should happen next. - SPEED/STAMINA; While this male isn't the strongest physically, he makes up for it with his quick-paced flexibility and the long period of time that he can spend in that same sprinting movement. Dante is able to weave through trees and under logs with practiced ease, while escaping from danger is a skill of his. Weaknesses: - COWARDLY; While Dante may seem all high and mighty when he's making snide remarks, he really is quite the coward when it comes to being confronted or coming upon a dangerous situation. It's not something he takes pride in, as he's known to leave the ones he cares about to fend for themselves in the face of the danger he could have fought. - FRAGILE EGO; Dante uses rude or snide comments to upper his ego and view of himself. He really is rather self-centered when it comes to others as well, not at all taking into account that he may be breaking relationships in the process of trying to come across as less of a coward, he sees himself as. - EMOTIONAL INSECURE; The male does not know how to properly express his emotions in a healthy way, so he takes it out on others. Usually, putting them down to make himself feel higher and more important, because he doesn't know how to do that in a better way. He hasn't been told how to. He definitely cracks under pressure, causing outbursts of emotion that he can't control well. - PHYSICAL STRENGTH; Dante, although born first in his litter, was the smallest. He was picked on by his older siblings, and his parents were beyond stern with him. He's not and has never been able to beat another full-grown dire wolf in a test of strength, however, he can easily trick them with his slippery skills of flexibility. ────────⊹⊱✫⊰⊹──────── Crush: Open. Courting: Ooh- Open. Mate: None at the moment. Possibly. Offspring: None. . Kin: Open to littermates. Pm me. Affiliations: Tba <3 ────────⊹⊱✫⊰⊹──────── Other: A wip!
