Wide tracts of mountainous forest make up the home of the Navi Pack and the Dakota Pack. The two opposing packs were once one, many long seasons ago. Two brothers, the only pups from a litter of the Alphas grew up in competition with each other. Each wanted to take the place of their father when they reached adulthood. When it came time for their father to step down from the mantle of Alpha, the two brothers fought, each supported by their own followers. In the end, their father was forced to stop the fight to prevent the young males from killing each other as neither would submit, even under the strain of many wounds. Followed by their supporters, the two brothers seperated.
One brother, Navi, went towards the south and found a create a new densite along a calm river winding it's way through a small meadow. He, along with his mate, dug out a large dirt cave in a large over hang of the river for their small pack.
The other brother, Dakota, went north east. He found an already made stone cave in the side of the mountain and claimed it as his own.
To this day the packs are still waging the war of the two brothers, though the reason and the once unity of family is long forgotten by the descendants. Will the few tales of the elders of the love the two brothers shared as pups prevail and unite the packs? Or will the bloody war continue till one line of the family is torn apart?

 Pack ranks The Alpha male and female are the leaders of the pack. Their words are law, and they have the final decision on punishments and if a wolf can enter the pack, or be driven out.
The Beta is the second-in-command. When both alphas are absent the Beta takes over as leader. Their words are final, and they are often delegated to oversee punishments that have been decided.
The Gammas are the elite hunters. They are the top two wolves that are the best at hunting and organize and lead the hunts. It is their job to teach the novice wolves who wish to learn to be hunters, or assign an experience hunter to a particular novice.
Deltas are the caretakers of the pups, an important position that is only given to the most level-headed of wolves. They are in charge of any pups born to the pack, making sure they behave, are safe, and teach them the things a pup must learn before it becomes a yearling.
Sigmas are the scouts of the pack. It is their job to range through the territory and find prey, and intruders. Most scouts have excellent eyesight and noses, and are good at stealth.
Epsilons are the healers of the pack. They are the wolves with excellent herbal knowledge. For a wolf to reach the rank of epsilon it has to study under an epsilon till it reaches the age of five. Only elder wolves can be considered full healers. The health of a pack member is not left to the young and uneducated.
Zetas are the protectors of the pack. Usually the largest, and most cunning wolves, Zetas are the elite fighters of the pack. Protecting everyone from enemies is the only job of a Zeta, though they often help out any of the other ranks when they are not out patrolling.
Pups are the most protected of the pack. All wolves in a pack care for their young, and often will give up their food if there is a food shortage.

I Am What I am:
Alpha Female of the Navi pack
I Can Be Found Here:
Navi Pack
I Proudly Am:
Alpha
I Am Referred to As:
Na'ni
I Can Be Described As:
Na'ni is a rather laid-back wolf. She treats everyone fairly, and never does anything without thinking it through first. Her discipline is gentle, unless it becomes necessary for her to be harsh. She prefers to avoid bloodshed if she can. She secretly wishes that the two packs could come to an agreement and end this war, but she is afraid that will never be possible with the blood-thirsty Wraith in charge of the brother pack.
How My Life Has Played Out:
Na'ni was born to the previous beta and his mate. She was raised to be a wolf of rank, and when she was four fought for the rank of alpha and won. She's held the position since through kindness, though she can physically backup her orders if she has to.
Such beauty untold:

How My Life Has Played Out:
Wraith fought for his current position as pack leader, killing the former leader - his father. Since then he's lead the pack carefully, making sure they always had enough to eat and room to run. Wraith always fought viciously, a part of his nature. He's as far from reconciling with the other pack as can be. Someone even saying something that could seem to be pity for a wolf of the rival pack is enough for their cold-blooded leader to savage them.

Rules:
1. First of all, this is semi-literate to literate. Meaning no astricks, no chatspeak or 1337. Use third-person, and have at least five decently written sentences. I understand writers block, but if it happens too often I'll be annoyed. You need to put enough for others to work off of properly. Proper grammar and spelling. A few errors are fine, it happens, but if you have major problems with either, then type your post up on something that has a spell/grammar check.
2. Secondly, no powerplaying or godmodding. Both drive me absolutely crazy. Nothing will get you banned faster than having to get reminded not to powerplay or godmod constantly.
3. Be kind to other roleplayers. I don't like a bunch of arguing in OOC, it's annoying.
4. And with the mention of OOC, use brackets or say that it's OOC in some manner. I might make an OOC thread, I'm not sure yet.
5. No cybering. It's gross. I expect romance. It's a normal part of pretty much any rp. But take the sexual things to the PMs. Nothing more.
6. Listen to the owner, me, and all crew of course.
7. PM all profiles to me. If you are a Nightwind Pack member title it, "To Protect." If you are a Shadowcry Pack member title it, "For Revenge." If you are a human title it, "What to do?"
8. Make profiles pretty, it makes me happy. Try to use font size between 9-11 for your character text. Larger sizes are okay for post titles and the like, but not to much please. And no pictures that stretch the page. You can use real pictures or anime, both are fine.
9. Have fun, be active, and if you have any ideas for the roleplay plot, throw them out there in OOC for people to discuss.
10. Remember to try to get on at least twice a week. You'll fall behind if you don't.

Note:
RANKS. There's been a change in the ranking system now that most of our ranks in both packs are filling up. The ranks of Beta, Gamma, and Delta are closed. You can't just choose them. You have to have your wolf at a more basic rank and work your way up. This may be by fighting, or by charming another wolf to be your mate. Yes, you gain your mate's rank, though it's up to you to defend it from others.
This doesn't mean don't put the rank you want to have in your profile. Go ahead and do it if the rank is open. I'll decide whether or not you can have the position. And don't argue with me if I say no! That'll make me cranky.
Fighting for a new rank:
You have to challenge another wolf for their rank and best them in a fight.
I would prefer this to be done as it's ritualized by real wolf packs. Meaning there's usually no blood shed. Rank is determined by posture. Dominance is shown by holding head and tail above the other wolf's. In a dominance fight the two wolves face off and try to make themselves look as big as possible, holding their head and tail up. The one with the deeper growl, or the bigger wolf is usually the winner. Sometimes it leads to fights when neither wolf will back down.
I will be the judge of fights! I'm very picky about powerplaying, so if I disagree with something you say about your wolf's strength, please do not argue. It'll make this a lot easier.
One last thing:
Don't be starting fights with the alphas and betas to get their position when you're just a member or a hunter or something. The alphas and betas are the strongest wolves in the pack, that's why they have their current rank. A low-rank wolf wouldn't be able to compete in strength or size with them. Remember: An alpha never stops growing, so they'll always be the biggest wolves.
Thanks~

 Hatred so deep, I can barely breath.
Wraith, Alpha Male of the Dakota Pack Wraith blinked open his golden eyes, clearing the haze of sleep quickly. The large brute rolled his shoulders slightly before getting up. He eased his way out of his den, ducking slightly so that he wouldn't scrape his back on the rim of the opening. Once outside the black wolf licked around his muzzle, gazing coldly around the densite of his pack. The rest of the pack was still off asleep, as was usual. The alpha was most often the first awake in the pale dawn light.
The brute paced off into the trees, leaving behind the sleeping area on soundless pads. Wraith hopped onto a large boulder, then bounded from that perch to another. He agilely made his away across a rough patch of his mountain home in this manner. The male dropped heavily to the soft dirt of the earth again as he reached a small stream. The bubble of water was no more than the width of Wraith's head wide, about six inches. But it was cold, and clean. The large alpha crouched beside the fast-moving creek. He let his burning gold eyes roll around, checking out the area around him. When he is completely sure that no one is around to ambush him when his head is down, Wraith lowered his muzzle to the water. He lapped several mouthfuls up quickly, stating the thirst that always seemed to assail him when he first woke. Satisfied, the brute rose to his feet again and hoped nimbly across the small waterway to wander aways into the trees.

 Wishing for a fragile peace.
Na'ni, Alpha Female of the Navi Pack Na'ni crested a small hill, her grey-silver gleaming as a ray of weak morning sun hits her. She tilted her head back, looking up through the foilage of the trees around to to peer at the sky. Dawn had arrived as she was out patrolling, a Warrior at her side. At a flick of her tail the quiet male wolf turned and trotted towards the den site to get some well-deserved sleep. They had been up most of the night, out patrolling the borders of their territory. Everything had been quiet though. Obviously their brother wolves of the Dakota pack didn't have any ideas of raiding for this night.
The Alpha female hopped off the small hill and glided on through the wide-spaced trees of the mountain foothills. She stopped as she came to a small patch of mint. She dropped her nose down, sniffing at the plants. They smelled like her pack's healers, meaning they used this patch. A little wicked smile on her muzzle, Na'ni dropped to her side right on top of the small plants. Wriggling around on her back, she crushes the plants to release the sharp scent of the mint into her fur. She loved smelling like the pungent plants. Her healers cursed her as a bane for always spoiling their mint patches. And though she would never tell them, she took great delight in doing it just to hear them howls and snarl with anger.
Her mischief finished, Na'ni hops to her feet and continues on. She alters her path a bit so that she circles around and entered the den site. Her pale blue eyes flick over the lumps of snoozing wolf flesh as she picks her way delicately into the den. She worms her way around and over wolves to the back of the den site. There she flops down in the spot designated as her own, letting sleep quickly flow over her consciousness.

healing all from within Ice the epsilon of the Dakota pack Ice was in the dens she was not sleeping, she had not slept in a few days, and barley eaten as well, she was with a patient a male wolf who had been ravaged, they thought it was the other pack who had done it and few thought the male would live, no matter how much the fem worked on him and now she was loosing hope as she watched the males slow breathing. Her golden eyes watched him, she had stopped the bleeding and brought down the fever but nothing was working and she was going nuts trying to get the brute to wake, he was one of the top hunters and she had liked him well enough. As she lie there though his breathing slowed more and then…stopped. She whimpered softly and rose to her paws and dragged the dead wolf from the den, the pack would burry him when they woke, she refused to wake them just yet. Once in the clearing she touched her nose to the dead’s and said a silent prayer of passage for him.
She looked around wondering where wraith had gone, she knew he would return soon so she sat down her head bowed guarding the dead creature. She didn’t know what to do, she was hungry thirsty and felt like a failiour even though many knew the male would not wake, she had tried her damndest to make the outcome different but it hadn’t worked.

Hatred so deep, I can barely breath.
Wraith, Alpha Male of the Dakota Pack As Wraith approached the area where his pack's dens resided the scent of death filled his nostrils. He snorted, his ears flattening back. Most likely it was the smell of that wolf that the epsilons had been tending too for the last few days. Everyone knew he was going to die, Wraith wasn't sure why the darned healers wasted so much effort and herbs on a corpse. He supposed that was why he wasn't a healer though. He had not respect for a wolf who couldn't survive.
As the black-pelted wolf glided into the den site he paused, his orange eyes peering around slowly. He found the dead wolf dragged out into the center of the den site, the epsilon Ice hovering over him still. Wraith eyed the fae from where he was at, his hellish eyes appraising. She was a pretty enough fae, and a good healer. What he liked most about her though was that she had never done anything to incure his wrath. Most of the pack was so volatile that they did something eventually that forced him to put them in their place. Ice so far hadn't.
"I see the beast is dead," said Wraith coldly as he padded up to Ice. He peered down at the body, his heart unmoved by the sight of one of his pack members dead. It was the brute's own fault for not knowing how to defend himself properly. The weak died and the strong survived. And Wraith had no pity for the weak. "You may summon the pack to howl for him if you like, or just get the carcass out of the den site," said Wraith, turning his head away. He never howled for his pack members when they died. He didn't particularly care if the rested peacfully or not. He didn't deny his pack the right to howl for the decesed though.

healing all from within Ice the epsilon of the Dakota pack Ice looked up as she heard the alpha come back into the area, her eyes seemed to glow in the dim light she tilted her head softly and nodded softly to the wolf. She rarely said anything to the alpha as she didn’t want him to hate her like he hated everything else in the world, many times she had wanted to yell at him for being so heartless about things, but this time he had been right, the brute had gone off alone and was ambushed, being the healer she had a job to do and she took it seriously. She may not be the best fighter in the pack, many thought her a runt still but she kept most of them alive. She howled for the pack to arrive and then howled her own for the dead. When she was finished she walked from the group surrounding the dead brute and headed towards the den area she had kept him in. she was tired but she had to clear out the area quickly. She began to drag bunches of moss twigs and grass from the den and out into the woods.
