The Sierra Story
Deep in the midst of the Sierra mountains there roam several packs of wolves. Rumor among the packs has it that several hundred years ago a mystical wolf named Jachin was mysteriously born with the power to control the element of earth. When he was a young pup he knew he was different from the rest of the wolves and that made him angry. He didn't understand why each time he made a deliberate move the ground around him would change. Sometimes for the good and sometimes for the bad. He couldn't figure out how to control what happened. He hated being different. The other pups in the pack made fun of him because he was so different. No one in the history of wolves had blue tipped, ears and was able to control the earth. One late day in the third season, he was being bullied by a pup of the same year as he. They got into a fight, and he ended up being banned from the pack, and forced to leave the territory. He then took to the deep mountainsides and wide beautiful valley’s of the Sierra Mountain’s. In time, he was able to locate a pack there that accepted his differences and elected him their Alpha male because of his amazing abilities. He remained Alpha there until the day he died. Since his death, his decedents have split up, and several packs of decedents sharing his unique abilities now roam the Sierra’s calling it home.
These wolves are not normal wolves they are nature wolves. These wolves can control one of many elements, the stems being Water, Fire, Earth, Air, Light, Dark, Death, and Life. Any nature wolf that has a power, its power must then stem from one of the 8 main sources. These wolves live life as any other wolf only they have the ability to choose what they want their element to appear as. They each are assigned a mentor when their powers start to come in that teaches them about their element. This mentor has the same elemental power.
Their powers can come in at any age. But is most common around age 2 when the pups start leaving the den. It is rare, but possible for a nature wolf to be born with an elemental power. These wolves are special wolves and are treated well by the rest of the pack. They are not the leaders of the pack but are considered outstanding members. The ratio of a pup born with their powers and a wolf growing up into their powers is 1 to 25 pups. So for every 25 pups one of them might possibly be born with their powers. It is common for young pups born without powers to want their powers to come in earlier. They may even go as far as to search for their powers by becoming immersed in water and then trying to control it, or going near a campfire and trying to control it, or even becoming involved with mentors in the pack but these efforts are in vain. Powers tend to show up when they are least expected.
Some of these nature wolves can in fact be able to control all eight of the elements. These special wolves are often more comfortable with one element over the other seven These wolves often end up leaders in the pack or mentors because they can control all of the elements. Some nature wolves never get powers but are colored like nature wolves so they are allowed to remain in the pack. These wolves are protected well by the other members of the pack as they are considered defenseless without a power.
Nature wolves have special coloring's The tips of their ears are often colored a odd shade. Such as blue, green, red, etc. They may or may not have uniquely colored fur. Some of the unique furs include Albino, pale blue, russet, or a deep fiery red. They may or may not have uniquely colored eyes. Common eye colors among Nature wolves are brown, blue, white, green, orange, red, amber, and silver.
When nature wolves reach adulthood if they have a power they often have a symbol that has grown into their fur. It can be located anywhere. It is very rare but possible for a nature wolf to be born with a symbol. And it is also extremely rare but possible for a nature wolf to have a symbol that does not match their element. These symbols are a range of colors and shapes and can include almost anything associated with the element they control. Nature wolves can have other odd coloring's in their fur such as dorsal stripes, stripes down their sides, patches of color, or stockings. These coloring's are often oddly colored. Such as a shade of purple, green, blue, or orange.
Each member of each pack is required to work for their keep. The only wolves who do not have to hunt and help work within the pack are the senior citizens who have worked hard all of their lives. These wolves are allowed to rest in peace while the others go off and hunt. If a member of the pack does not work for its keep it is kicked out or banned from the pack and most of the time either dies or becomes a lone wolf. Sometimes these wolves are able to shape up their act and join another pack but not always.
The nature wolves packs do intermix from time to time. These packs are normally not hostile towards each other but they don’t usually cross onto each others territories. If a member of a pack crosses over onto another packs territory one of three things will happen. They will let him cross in peace if they see he is meaning them no harm, they will recruit him to join their pack, or they will kill him. There are some neutral territories that do not really belong to one pack or another. The wolves that go to this territory do not harm each other as this land belongs to no one particular pack.
All nature wolf pups were granted the power, to at some point before they reach maturity (2 for females, 3 for males), decide whether they wanted their imagination and conscious to dwell outside of their body in the form of a rabbit. If chosen to have a companion rabbit, the wolves must then design a rabbit in their head, and by magical powers the rabbit will then materialize. For a talking, constant, best-friend companion. Companion rabbits may either be bonded, which means they are played out like a NPC character, or they can be free-roaming which gives them the ability to be played like a regular character. (a free roaming companion requires its own account) Nature pups may have these, or may not. If, your pup decides to NOT have a companion rabbit, and you decide later on you would like for your character to have one, these rabbits can be purchased in the store.
There are some wandering lone nature wolves along the sierra’s. No one is sure where these wolves come from. Some of them have been kicked from packs but most of them are just loners. Maybe they left packs, or maybe they were just never part of them. Sometimes these nature wolves will join a already established pack. These wolves tend to be wilder than the wolves in a established pack. From time to time these lone wolves will gather together other lone wolves and create a new pack. At times established packs will cross over the path of a lone wolf or vice versa these meetings often end in a stand off but no one injured.
Nature wolves interact just like normal wolves. Pups are born regularly.
Along these same ridges some packs of timber wolves still roam. These packs hate the nature wolves and at any and every chance will attack.
These wolves sometimes have natural mutations. These mutations never, ever change their method of movement. Some example mutations would be a deer's tail or antlers.
