Black Tooth vs Yellow Hill

You are a wolf living in Yellowstone. You can join either pack:

Black Tooth

The most powerful wolf pack in Yellowstone. Led by a power hungry wolf, they slowly started to take over other pack territories, pushing the wolves out of the area. They have the infamous reputation of being pup killers, and are feared by all wolf packs in Yellowstone. They are strong, and rely on brute strength and numbers to take down prey and other packs. They reside on the north side of Summit lake.

Yellow Hill

A pack to the south of Summit Lake. They are the great enemies of Black Tooth, and their next available target. Their rivalry began when Black Tooth's ancestors killed the pups of the Yellow Hill Alphas at that time. Quick footed and intelligent wolves, they prefer using their heads to get around sticky situations rather than getting into a fight.

These are the positions available for each pack:

Alpha- Leaders of the pack. They guide pack movements and help make their decisions. There can be a male and female Alpha in each pack.

Beta- Second in command, the wolf most trusted by the Alphas. They take over Alpha position in case of death or injury.

Shaman- Wise wolves who have the amazing ability to sense danger. They aid the Alphas in decisions and give their advise.

Scout- One of the most important roles in the pack. Their job is to patrol the territory borders and mark territory. They have excellent eyesight and can see things from long distances.

Hunter- Specially trained in the ways of the hunt. They are cunning and fast, and lead the hunt. They are excellent at finding the weakest animal in a herd.

Teacher- Teach the pups in the ways of the wild.

Pups-Sons and daughters of the wolves in the pack. They are under danger from the many predators of Yellowstone.

To start the storybook, we need at least two Alphas and one Beta in each pack. Alpha position can be challenged, at your own risk.

You can also pick any wolf in the pack to be your mate, if you like Fill out a profile telling us the colour, age, sex, and personalitly of your wolf, plus anything extra.

Have fun! :D

Name: Lhuna
Age: Two years old
Pelt colour and appearance:



Pack: Yellow Hill
Position: Alpha
Sex: Female
Background: She is a young female, who took over Yellow Hill when her parents and the Alphas at that time were killed by an unknown wolf. She is quiet and intelligent, but isn't afraid to start a fight. As one of the fastest wolves in Yellow Hill she often helps out with scouting. She finds it hard to trust other wolves, but is playful and fun with those she does. She is relaxed and easy going. She sometimes fears for the welfare of her pack, and confides in her best friend, Zodiak. She has no mate at this current time.

Name: Zodiak
Age: Two years old
Pelt colour and appearance:


Pack: Yellow Hill
Position: Hunter
Sex: Male
Background: Back when he was a dispersal wolf, he found Lhuna caught in a sticky situation: She was backed up against a rocky outcrop, facing an enraged black bear. Being the courageous wolf he is, he saved Lhuna's life by driving the bear off. They became close friends from then on, forming Yellow Hill pack with Lhuna's parents but strangely not mating together. He thinks of Lhuna as his sister and would die for her if necessary. He was offered position of Beta, but was a born hunter due to his strength and stamina. He feels rivalry against Tier to be the lead hunter, and never stops getting into fights with him. He is headstrong and sometimes makes mistakes as he tends to act before thinking. He is cocky and confident.

Name: Ossal
Age: Eight
Pelt colour and appearance: http://snowwolfmystic.deviantart.com/ar ... n-28175190
Pack: Yellow Hill
Position: Shaman
Sex: Male
Background: One of the eldest in the pack, Ossal served as an advisor to the former Alphas for their entire lives, having known them since birth. He is known for both his wisdom and his calm. Recently, some of the other wolves have come to view him as unfriendly, as he has become particularly sombre since the deaths of his friends.

Name: Tier
Age: Three
Pelt colour and appearance: http://kaymanism.deviantart.com/art/Lone-Wolf-2063310
Pack: Yellow Hill
Position: Hunter
Sex: Male
Background: Tier is Ossal's nephew, and didn't inherit whichever gene it was that keeps the old wolf calm. He's hot-headed, and in favour of meeting the Black Tooth head on. He's not a complete idiot, however (despite what his uncle thinks), and knows that it will take their greater cunning and speed to stop their enemies. He just wants to take the fight to them.

save me a spot!

Me too

Name: Cana
Age: Three
Pelt colour and appearance: http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/s ... f-snow.jpg
Pack: Yellow Hill
Position: Scout
Sex: Female
Background: Cana is a scout for two good reasons. She is one of the fastest wolves in the Yellow Hill pack and she is one of the sneakiest wolves in the pack. When she scouts she is quiet and easily unnoticed. If something is putting the pack in danger she is quick to report it to the Alpha.

Could we have some takers for Black Tooth?

Name: Bors (because thats his favorite food)

Age: three

Pelt colour and appearance: http://kafilipi.deviantart.com/art/Arctic-Wolf-79975766

Pack: Black Tooth

Position: Hunter

Sex: Male

Background: He is very resentful of his clan, but he will stick with them. He is one of Black Tooth's better hunters, and possesses an uncanny strength that when coupled with his speed makes him very dangerous. He is sort of a lone wolf, but that is only because he finds it hard to find anything in common with his pack. He hates them, but will not leave because he knows he will die. He has a strong sense of honor and will help otherwolves even if he has nothing to gain. He will not participate in raids on other packs.

I call the Yellow Hill Pup!

Name: Storm

Age: 6 weeks

Pelt colour and appearance: http://www.defenders.org/images/coolstuff/wolf_pup_wallpaper_1280x1024.jpg

Pack: Yellow Hill

Position: pup

Sex: Male

Background: Storm wandered into the pack one day, completely lost and disoriented. He doesn't remember a thing about his family. Storm is mischievous and clumsy. He is proud, and has the makings of becoming alpha when he gets older. Storm has wormed his way into all of the pack member's hearts. He is confident, and doesn't always follow the rules.

... And you know what? Just for kicks, I'll make his sister too....

Name: Lark

Age: 6 weeks old

Pelt colour and appearance: http://www.alamy.com/thumbs/6/%7B08D55FFF-D5D9-44B3-AC31-111B491BD7D2%7D/AF4EXF.jpg

Pack: Black Tooth

Position: pup

Sex: Female

Background: Lark wandered into the pack one day, completely lost and disoriented. She doesn't remember a thing about her family. The Black Tooth pack accepted her, but she really has to watch out for herself in order to survive. Lark is quiet and cautious. She is clever, and is not afraid to do what needs to be done in order to survive. Maturity was thrust upon her as a young pup, so she makes her own decisions and is very mature for her age. She has gained favor with Bors, and that is the only reason Lark is alive today. She knows that if something happens to Bors, then she is as good as dead.

Please save me a spot!

Can we start, and let any new people just jump into the story when they can?

name- Nightstar (just goes by Star)
age- one year
gender- male
appearance- http://www.dailypictures.info/pictures/ ... 20Snow.jpg

personality- Brave and proud, with a quick temper, Nightstar has all the traits of a future alpha. He is fiercly protective of the few friends he has. A bit reckless, willing to jump into danger, in many ways he is still a pup.

history- The son of a Yellow Hill female, and a Black Tooth male. His father, Moonshadow, was the younger brother to Black Tooth's current alpha. (if that's alright) After his parents met, they each left their respective packs before anyone could learn they were mated. The family denned in the eastern part of the valley, but last spring the river flooded killing both parents and pups, except for Nightstar.

Nightstar was born on the night of a lunar eclipse, hence the name. After the flood, Nightstar wandered around and taught himself how to survive, its a miracle that he's lived this long, since he was only two months when his parents died.

pack- loner at first, but would like to join Yellow Hill.
position- Scout/Hunter, since he practically raised himself he can do both jobs, he also has a Shaman's sixth sense, but it is untrained and uncontrolled.

other- too young to mate, but he could use a friend.

We kinda need more members for Black Tooth before we can start...

EDIT: We've got seven for YH and only three for BT... if any other BT members want to make another character it's ok, we kinda need the numbers
Well, I'll start anyway...

Lhuna eyed the two approaching dots on the lower slope of Yellow Hill. Her tail curled in towards her back and her hackles bristled a little. The wind blew against her back, not allowing any scent to come to her from the two wolves approaching.
She turned her head to the dark coloured wolf next her her, who was sitting on the golden grass, watching the two on comers but looking perfectly relaxed.
"Cana, can you see who that is from here?" she asked.
Cana leaned forward slightly. "Hmm... it looks like Zodiak..." she paused while Lhuna relaxed slightly. "Ah, and Tier. It's okay."
Lhuna sighed and let her tail fall loose. The fur on her back settled as the two wolves got closer to her and Cana.
"I wasn't sure. We just have to be careful, you know?" Lhuna said to her in a firm voice.
"I know. Dangerous times." She nodded thoughtfully.
Lhuna's ears pricked up as she heard irritated grumbling from behind her.
"I told you it was only them," Ossal growled quietly, his back hunched as he faced away from them.
She turned her head back from the old wolf, holding in the suppressed growl from deep in her chest. He was going through a rough time, so she cut him some slack.
Cana stood, and turned to the Alpha.
"I'll take the west perimeter on a scout, just to check and see if anything unusual crops up."
"Be careful." The dark wolf grinned at her and began to run to her left, disappearing amongst the brush.
"Hey, Lhunes!" Zodiak said to her through a mouthful of duck that he was carrying in his jaws. Tier said nothing to either of them, he stalked away in the direction of his uncle, irritation radiating from every inch of his fur.
Zodiak dumped the duck corpse at Lhuna's paws, spitting out feathers from between his teeth.
Lhuna's eyes narrowed. "What did you do to him?"
"Yuck, feathers..." he looked up suddenly, eyes wide. "Nothing! Seriously. I didn't do anything."
She smiled slightly at his innocent expression. "Okay, let me rephrase that. What did he do to you to make you do something to him?"
"I brought you a duck and you start questioning me like this," he turned his head away from her, his sarcastic tone giving him away.
"Aw, I'm sowwy."
"Nuh uh. I ain't taking your sass anymore, woman."
She snorted, eyeing him with amusement.
His ears lowered, and he looked up at her with sad, gold eyes. "I'm nice to you and you don't even like me. You put holes in my poor heart with your nonchalant attitude," he sniffed, his sad eyes peeking up at her again.
Lhuna crouched, and sprang at him with full force. They fell to the grass as a loud, "Oof," came from Zodiak as she pinned him.
"I'll put a hole in your lung," she teased, her teeth coming together with a snap.
"Okay okay! Oh holy one, spare my pathetic life and I shall tell you of my pains," he gabbled, his paws raising above his head in surrender.
She chuckled and let him up. He shook his biscuit coloured fur, sending grass seeds everywhere.
"Well... you see..." he began, swallowing as he found the best way to explain it. "We were coming up to a herd of pronghorn. And there was loads of them. Too much just to rush in, right?"
"Right," came her response after a pause.
"So I say, 'Tier, go round them and chase them towards me.' And he was all like, 'You go and chase them you lazy mutt. And then I got a little angry. As you can imagine." he nodded in such a serious way, Lhuna had to suppress a laugh.
"Then I kind of attack-"
He stopped, seeing her deep frown.
"Then we all lived happily ever after the end," he gabbled after a short think, turning away and running a few yards from her, his tongue lagging out the side of his mouth.
She gave him a wry smile. "Go make yourself useful and take the duck to Ossal for me."
"But I brought it for you!" he objected.
She turned to the old wolf, a nervous expression on her face. "He hasn't been eating."
"Oh okay..." he sighed, lifting the feathered mess in his jaws and reluctantly heading over to the olf white wolf.
