Not Entirely Dead
The Wolves of Winter
Winter has always been hard, but this has been one of the worst in history. It’s gone on long beyond the time for new life, and even in to the heating season many a time over. New pups are growing up without ever knowing the fresh sweet scent of new life nor the decaying scent of the falling time. All we have is cold, and more cold.
Snows fall rapidly, and what was once a nice open den at night becomes nearly impossible to escape in the morn, blocked by drifts higher than a wolf can see over.
We have had to change, had to adapt. The Wolf struggles in this time. The Direwolf can thrive.
We were built stronger, fiercer than our smaller counterparts. But this does not make food any easier to find. Brother turns on brother, and mothers forsake their pups in favor of a warm meal. Bonds are swiftly broken as the long winter claims all in its wake.
It is within this cold we try to survive. Packs are gone, and the prey is swiftly moving towards oblivion. But there is hope... There is always hope.
The moon goddess, the great wolf Lupa came to us in our dreams, her chosen wolves. To lead the others, she says, to a Paradise. To a place where it is eternal spring, where the prey is plentiful and pups will flourish. No longer will we starve, no longer will we sleep in fear that our pups will not wake in the morn.
“Let the moon be your guide, my child,” Lupa spoke. “For you are my chosen, to bring my children to salvation.”

So doing a quick check to see if anyone would be interested in a wolf roleplay
There will be fighting and famine, hope and despair, love and loss. The trip to their “Paradise” will not be an easy one, and convincing other wolves to venture forth will prove a challenge.Few quick facts:
-Four wolves will be “Chosen”; two direwolves and two regular wolves, two of each gender.
-As of this post there will be five “regular wolf” spots and five “Dire wolf” spots in an effort to keep both genders and races equal. But if there is more interest there will be plenty more spots.
-Direwolves are skilled in combat and have a larger size compared to other wolves. They can also access a Rage like state in which their physical prowess is greater than they would be normally.
-Wolves are skilled in more mental ways, and usually carry an edge in speed. They are gifted with stronger mental capabilities, some to the point where they can predict the outcome of certain actions or read the emotions of those around them, both wolf and other animals. Some also have a unique connection to the nature around them, giving them an edge to survive.
Direwolf Advantages
-Battle Rage (All) - an almost trance like state that allows the wolf to ignore incoming damage, and heightens both physical and mental processing of events around them, allowing them to deal more damage and ignore incoming injuries. They fight with heightened physical abilities, allowing them to perform acts they would not be able to do normally. However, in some cases wolves black out during this state, and can often have issues distinguishing friend from foe. In addition, after coming out of the Rage, they are often left exhausted and need a rest.
- Rapid Regeneration (Some) - Some Direwolves possess abilities of healing beyond the normal. They heal quickly from injuries, and rarely if ever get sick. They also don't feel hunger as much as other wolves, but this can lead to issues because it is all too easy to forget to eat to replenish their strength
- Elemental Power (Some) - Some Direwolves possess a mediocre control over the elements, usually Earth or Fire. Very rarely do they have Air or Water powers. They have a lesser control over these elements than regular wolves do. Usually it only comes out in extreme circumstances, like a life or death situation. Some Direwolves, known as Magi, practice solely in these arts. They have greater control over the elements than other wolves.
- Absorption (Alpha) - Direwolf Alphas can use the energy of their pack to booster their own powers in battle. This is also seen in some small groups of wolves, in which they can feed off of each other's power. In the case of the Alpha, they can also sometimes absorb a fellow wolves elemental or healing powers in addition to their own.
- Life Stealing (Some) - In wolves who have killed before in cold blood or rarely developed independently a Direwolf may absorb the life of living things around them. This includes plants, animals, and other wolves.They can also very rarely absorb the power of the wolf they steal life from.
- Power Negation (Some) - Some Direwolves are born naturally as null voids. Power doesn’t work on them or in some cases, around them at all.
Wolf Advantages
- Spiritual Succession (All) - When a wolf has its first death it can be reborn one time, and slowly regains its memories over its second life. In some cases, however, they never regain their memories. It also develops a closer connection to the Spirit and Lifeforce of those around them, being able to sense new life in wolves (Pups) and when another wolf's death is near. Often they can connect to another wolfs spirit and hold them on this side of life until a healer can be found.
- Elemental Power (Some) - A regular wolfs powers over the Elements are much stronger than a Dires. They can have any of the Four Elements, although Earth and Fire wolves are rarer. They have a strong connection to the Elements and can call on them any time as long as they are well rested and strong. Using the powers for too long drains them of energy.
- Healing (Some) - While a regular wolf can not heal themselves like a Dire can, they can heal others, even on the brink of death. However a regular wolf often heals by taking on the injuries of the hurt wolf, on the mental level. The more severe the injury the more energy drained, and the weaker the Healer Wolf is.
- Mental Connection (Alpha) - Alpha Wolves can mentally connect to their packmates. It often also happens in small groups as well on a smaller level, mostly just impressions and mental images, whereas Alphas can speak. The stronger the Alpha, the further the distance for communication.
- Premonition (Rare) - Some Wolves have a sense of the future, and can predict outcomes of events or incoming natural disasters or big changes. However, this is sketchy and can often come as just impressions or fleeting images. They also can be wrong. In some cases wolves don’t know what is going on when the Premonitions come across and can be interpreted as crazy, and wolves can also go crazy from it.
- Natural Gift (Some) - Wolves are naturally closer to nature than their “abnormal” cousins the Direwolves. They can often connect with nature around them on a stronger level, feeling the life of the woods around them, drawing on its strength, and finding hidden paths.

The World
The World in which we live is a frozen wasteland of forest, fields, ponds, lakes and rivers. The prey is scarce and most wolves are starving. At this time there are no packs, only a will to survive. The path to paradise is hidden, and even the Chosen only get “nudges” in the right direction. Most wolves are unable to use their powers due to their starvation, and are thin and weak. This will change as the Roleplay progresses
