There are three families to choose from: the Bandito, the Sohrab and the Shani. The Bandito and Sohrab litters are both 6 months old and the Shani are 3 months. If you're unfamiliar with this plot, click HERE to learn more.

If you're interested in applying for one of these pups, just submit the form below. Their alignment can be anything you like, but they must start out on the lighter end of the spectrum. If you want them to be darker, harder characters the transition must be gradual. Before they were orphaned the group was raised in a group of peace loving wolves so there's no reason for them to be blood-thirsty right off the bat. Linus (my boy) will, because of the hardships he's going to face, eventually settle into a Neutral, Lawful Evil or a warped Lawful Good mindset.

CODE
Name: (first and last; choose from the list of acceptable origins below)
Personality: (site minimum)
Alignment: Any alignment is acceptable
Nickname: (If you can't think of one or aren't particular, Linus will happily christen your pup.)?
Design/Description:
Size: Any size is acceptable
Health: Not mandatory, but these guys (especially the Shani) could very well have a host of health issues.
Do you want your pup to be considered for the position of Enforcer/Second in Command?:
RP Sample: (300 word count minimum)


Acceptable Bandito coat colors: Browns, red/browns, grays, blue/grays, black, small amounts of white. No solid coats, no albinism. Melanism is acceptable. Darker themes are more common than light and masks are a must.
Acceptable Bandito eye colors: Blues, greens, purples, black. No heterochromia.
Acceptable name origins: Greek Mythology, Ancient Greek, German, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Italian, English

Acceptable Shani coat colors: Grays, blue/grays, cream, tan, black, browns, white. No solid coats, no albinism.
Acceptable Shani eye colors: Light, muted colors. Heterochromia is acceptable.
Acceptable name origins: Hebrew, Biblical, English, Greek

Acceptable Sohrab coat colors: Blacks, grays, reds, oranges, yellows, small amounts of white. Really, anything fiery. No solid coats, no albinism. Melanism is acceptable. Darker themes are more common than light.
Acceptable Sohrab eye colors: Reds, yellows, blues, oranges, black, pink. No heterochromia.
Acceptable name origins: Iranian, Persian Mythology, Arabic, French, English

The Bandito:
Linus "Thief Lord" (Lazuli), Kate (Iko)

The Shani:
Temur "The Cat" (Tea), Aella "Tiny Thief" (Croatoan)

The Sohrab:
Skj?ra "Magpie" (Lunar)

Linus' account can be found HERE. It's still very much a WIP so there's a lot missing, but you can get an idea of what he's like. Also, his birth season is inaccurate. Because I'll be deciding that when the group is ready to join, it might change.

Because these guys are so young, you'll have to pay for a rogue pup pass. I might be able to help with gems, but you'll be responsible for at least half of them.

"One for Sorrow, Two for Joy..."

Name: Skj?ra Sohrab [rescued and adopted into the family]
Personality:
Good Traits: Perceptive, Resourceful, Determined, Patient, Intelligent
Bad Traits: Sarcastic, Possessive, Manipulative, Defensive, Self-absorbed

Skj?ra loves to challenge and push herself to the next level. She throws herself into what she decides with a concentrated energy and awesome willpower. She makes a formidable opponent, although quietly so. Skj?ra keeps her cool and her focus on the surface even though what's below is probably another story entirely. She also is unlikely to let anyone in and keeps up her facade of composure as best she can. Skj?ra also has the potential to exploit others and will often do so for self-defense and for a need to feel somewhat in control of her situation. Deep down what she wants most of all is security and as she grows she will learn to do whatever it takes to achieve that.

It can be a bit difficult to understand just how Skj?ra's mind works but she's just fine with that and enjoys surprising others. Skj?ra is quite proud of her independence and isn't easily pushed around when it comes to issues important to her though generally she'll go with the flow otherwise unless her curiosity get the best of her. Skj?ra is patient and a good listener and while she'll throw herself toward her goal she's confident that slow and steady will win her her prize and she plans carefully to get what she wants using her resourcefulness and intelligence as best she's able.

Skj?ra can also have a tendency to be sarcastic and she does enjoy spinning tales both seriously and to goad at others. For lack of a better word she enjoys being a "bullshit artist". It offers her freedom and if she want's to change her past and be someone else she's able. Lying also helps her get out of tight spots with adults and she had no probably trying to milk pity out of a few bleeding hearts.

As said before Skj?ra loves to test herself and often others. She'll make all kinds of rules and goals just for the personal satisfaction that comes from achieving them. Her survival instincts are strong and she understands that life simply isn't fair, but that won't stop her from getting what she wants out of life.

Alignment: Chaotic Good turning to Chaotic Neutral (darker b/c of her history prior to adoption)
Nickname: Magpie
Design/Description: http://i1077.photobucket.com/albums/w461/l...zps0e388bc5.jpg
Size: Medium
Health: ---
Do you want your pup to be considered for the position of Enforcer?: Yes
RP Sample: (300 word count minimum)




History: *adding in history, she was part of this plot on another site but it never quite took off, chose to keep her history the same but adjusted the end to add in the new families

Skj?ra doesn't care to dwell over her history too much, even it it subconsciously influences a lot of what she does. She was born into a massive drought that had withered the terra of her pack and created strong tensions between pack members over food and water. She never new if her "parents" were hers biologically or not since she never really felt she was like them and she enjoyed fantasies that someday her "real" parents would take her away.

Skj?ra's father was a hot-tempered brute with a dark past and a tendency toward violence. He was also fairly high-ranking and demanded respect. He frequently took to beating her as almost a form of stress relief though he swore it was to toughen her up and make her stronger since pups were useless to the pack. He always reminded her of this fact, who fed her? He did. Who dug their den? He did? Who searched every inch for water? He did. What did she do? Nothing.

When she tried to tell her mother she was also struck and warned to never speak of it again. Skj?ra soldiered up and did her best to tough it out. She took to learning as much as she could from her mother, an apothecary specialized in poisons but found herself drawn to her mother's assistant, an ancient and gentle wolf who was always happy for her company. He often told her stories and let her assist him and he never once berated or assaulted her like her mother often would.

However, a couple months after they'd met he passed away and as winter began to move in things got worse at home and amongst the pack. They were fracturing and splitting apart. The last straw came when she was molested by her older brother she made the decision to leave, believing even death would be better than staying there. She ran away and never looked back.

But a 2 month old pup had no chance of survival alone and she quickly fell ill. Skj?ra would've died if it hadn't been for the matriarch of the Sohrab family who had found her and nursed her back to health. The months that followed were the happiest of her life. She learned love and friendship and hope from her new family and they became the most cherished things in her life. Well loved and taken care of it was a tragedy when the plague hit. She'd finally found a contented family only to lose it. One by one the pack members fell and the pups circled around Linus, banding together in a desperate attempt to survive.

Name: Temur Shani
Personality: Temur is a fast-talking, smart mouth little brat with a lot of attitude and a foul mouth. He struts around arrogant as a bantam rooster and for good reason. This boy is good. He's dexterous enough and has a light enough touch he claims to be able to pluck a hair from a tiger's tail without waking it up - and it's actually believable. When he's focused and concentrating, he can move nearly silently. Outside of a scam or a game though, "focused" and "concentrating" really aren't even close to describing him. He's loud, clumsy, hyper, and somewhat accident-prone. Very independent and hard-headed, he does not like being bossed around by anyone besides Linus and Linus' Enforcers and has no problem making that clear. He has a hot temper and is quick to anger, though his acting out is usually confined to mean words rather than violence and he can be distracted from it pretty quickly.

Despite his many faults, Temur is the most loyal friend you could ask for. He would do anything for those he trusts - he'd lay his life on the line if it came down to it, and worse - and unfortunately for him he trust rather easily in spite of his spitfire attitude. He's woefully open to being manipulated by someone who knows his triggers. But, he'll always put his 'family' above everyone else so as long as they stay on the good side of the spectrum, he'll always veer their way no matter what any outsiders say.
Alignment: Eventually neutral probably, right now neutral good
Nickname: "the Cat"
Design/Description:
user posted image
Size: small
Health: malnourished, probably wormy, kind of has a bit of ADHD
Do you want your pup to be considered for the position of Enforcer?: Nah, too little.
RP Sample: Temur hadn't had it easy in life. None of them had, really, not since the last adult had vanished from his life. He didn't know that they had spent their last moments scrabbling in the dirt and convulsing as the rabies virus fried their brain - he only knew that they hadn't come back and he'd had no one to feed him. He'd been tottering right on the edge of death when Linus hatched his brilliant scheme and suddenly there was food again. And now that he wasn't dying, Temur was determined to pay him back for it.

Strutting along behind Magpie with head and tail high, Temur was king despite his scruffy exterior, pride made flesh, for he'd been given a part in this scam and he was itching to play it. Plopping himself down in the dust some distance from the mark he readied himself. Ruffling up his fur, rubbing a little extra dirt on to make himself look real pitiful. One of the older pups made a "get on with it" gesture from where he'd hidden himself - Temur just responded by sticking out his tongue. He'd start when he was ready.

He waited a couple seconds just to prove he could, then waved his tail to signal to Linus that he was in position. He was signaled back to go. Grinning smugly to himself, the brat took a deep breath... and wailed. His tiny voice bawled out like a snively lost little baby. The older pup who'd tried to boss him winced and scratched at his ear like it was painful. Temur just grinned and kept crying.

It was working, his pitiful cries attracting the attention of the marks. He even managed to force out a little waterfall of crocodile tears for effect, though it wasn't like the marks were going to see him anyway, as his scruff was grabbed and he was dragged backward to keep out of site and reach. The other pups would be all over the kill by now, stripping off what they could. His pride actually managed to somehow double at the thought, and he could barely stifle a giggle enough to keep crying. Dumb ass grown ups, they always fell for it.

Name: Aella Shani

Personality:
Aella is a sweet wolf, or was, but her life was turned upside down by the wolves that ended up leaving her alone, and she became a shell of herself until Linus came up with an idea. She became herself again, a wolf that would steal easily, and loved doing it, so she has some experience. She is quite a prankster, and stole from everything that moved. She is a quiet wolf, and she isn't the best at the crybaby scam because of her soft voice.


Alignment: Neutral

Nickname: "Tiny Thief"

Design/Description: Gray, black, brown, and white with light green eyes.

Size: Small

Health: Probably quite a few health issues, but this is a WIP.

Do you want your pup to be considered for the position of Enforcer?: I guess.

RP Sample: (300 word count minimum)

WIP

Name: Chiba Shani (chiba= Hebrew meaning love)
Personality:
Chiba is the little hen who looks after everyone. She does what she can to comfort others and makes sure no one is seriously ill. She's not much of a talker, speaking mainly to Linus only. Linus holds all her adoration. He is her big brother, the protector, leader and she might even have stranger feeling for him. But she is far too shy to show all of this. Chiba is a master of faces. She can easily change her moods to fit a situation. Thus this makes her the best "Cry Baby". She might be able to act a certain way but one can never get inside her head to see what really is going on.
Chiba is known to latch onto others, often for just a few weeks before breaking off and latching to another. In a way she just wants to be close to someone but she is also studying others. Her mind is smart and she picks up reactions to situation from others so she might one day react the same way. Chiba is not one to fight or cause any problem. She does what she is told and carries out missions as efficiently as possible.
Alignment: Neutral good
Nickname: Linus pick!
Design/Description:
A golden cream sets the base color of this female. A light creamy white dappling her golden hued cream in a nice even blend, barely noticeable till upon closer inspection. The same creamy white makes a broken stripe along the bridge of her nose while also covering her paws like little socks and the tips of her ears. A pale tan paints the tip of her tail and the inside toe of her left hindleg. Her eyes are a soft pale moss green.
Size: Small, 25 inches
Health: has a "deformed ear" which is just flopping permanent due from an infection. Anemic
Do you want your pup to be considered for the position of Enforcer/Second in Command?: possibly, depends on her growth her personality over time.
