Scarce Prey (Wolf RP | Open)

Scarce Prey (Wolf RP | Open)
Posted 2021-11-14 15:28:14 (edited)


The Crescent Moon Pack and Night Wandering Pack have been rivals for generations. It was not uncommon for the two to fight in the long, cold winters over what little could be caught between their territories.


The Crescent Moon Pack lives primarily on a hill, with a lovely view of the sky. Many small creeks with small fish spiderweb across their lands.

The Night Wandering Pack has recently seen great tragedy. Their territory borders human farmlands on the south, and the humans were tired of sheep going missing. Many wolves have recently been shot and killed, including the Herbalist, and it's unlikely the handful that are left will make it through the winter alone.

Rules:
•Follow Wolvden rules.
•You can have as many as 5 characters, but I prefer you start with 1 or 2.
•No killing other characters, unless you have the agreement with the other player.
•Type as much as you want, I try to meet other players where they are at, but I prefer keeping it kind of relaxed with one or two paragraphs per character.
•No superpowers, though I may allow some later Warriors Medicine Cat-like shenanigans later.
•There is no naming rule, but I prefer things like "Leaf" or "Runningwater" rather than "Tim."

Name: Cricket
Gender: Female
Pup/Adolescent/Adult: Adult
If Adult, Mate: (Open)
Description: Cricket is a relatively small and slender wolf, with mostly white fur and ochre on her back, top of head, and limbs. Her eyes are large and dark. She is only recently an adult and was looking forward to more herbalist duties when so many humans hunted her pack down. Cricket finds she is nervous to be the only thing protecting her pack from large wounds and diseases. She has the knowledge, but lacks the experience.
Pack: Night Wandering Pack
Role: Herbalist Apprentice
Family: May edit later / Open.
Other: Her mentor's name was Sagegreen, I'm sure the old herbalist will come up sooner or later.

Name: Lichen
Gender: Male
Pup/Adolescent/Adult: Adult
If Adult, Mate: (Open)
Description: Lichen is a mostly black wolf with a silver muzzle. He is not too terribly serious, and does about as much scouting as he does wandering around. There is a good chance he'll do some gentle teasing to you, as he looks down from his long, slender legs.
Wardrobe
Pack: Crescent Moon Pack
Role: Scout
Family: Bearberry (bröther)
Other: I'm imagining he's like the guy at work the boss can't fire because they're always too understaffed. Lichen tries to keep it light, but is unfamiliar with difficult work.

I'm going to keep working on these guys, but if anyone has any interest in this, you may post now c:

((That's absolutely fine! If you get busy but still have interest, just feel free to insert yourself wherever you like when you feel like posting again ^^

I'll do a quick starting post before the end of the night. In the meantime, if people join I'll continue adding characters to the list. You don't have to worry about getting accepted unless the role you want is already full!))

(Will do! I added a second character for review on my other form to prevent extra clutter on this one.

I will definitely TRY to stay decently active in this rp, it's a really neat idea!)

((Got him! I do see the two are family, despite being in different packs 👀👀 A little bit of past Romeo and Juliet action somewhere in their past?

I appreciate it!! I've been craving some wolf rps, but I do think it's a bit fun to throw a stone in the water to see how deep it gets before you jump in. It's a little more exciting to have a problem present to begin with.

I'm going to probably keep this open until most or all the spots are filled, but here's some flavor to get us started. As stated earlier, write as much as you are comfortable with!))



It had been a bad idea to kill the chickens. It was a worse idea to kill the sheep.

Cricket hid herself in the frosted brambles, remembering life just two moons ago. Scouts of the Night Wandering Pack had dug under the fence to a well-populated chicken coop. The hunters had gone off quickly and all returned with a hen in their jaws. It was still mid august then. The pack was optimistic. Perhaps, this year, they would not go as hungry in the winter. It was quite possible a few hens every once in a while would have gone unnoticed. Instead, the pack became greedy.

On the first snow, the hunters returned with a young sheep. The sun rose and set several times, and they returned with a larger sheep and one less hunter. The ones that returned addressed the pack, "The farmer saw us. He shot Oak with the metal that makes fire and lightning, and we ran… but she could not make it back." The pack mourned with full bellies. The meat was good.

For a little longer the pack ignored the human farmlands at the edge of the territory. As Winter ran her icy talons along the earth, however, The Night Wandering pack became hungry again. The hunters carried home a few more chickens. Cricket watched her mentor, Sagegreen, patch an open wound on a hunter that was not of teeth and claws.

"The metal has left this wolf…" He had explained when the injured wolf had left their cave. The old herbalist brought his greying muzzle to a puddle and lapped at it while Cricket waited for him to finish. "Humans can hurt us without being close. The hunter was just grazed. Sometimes metal goes under the fur, and you cannot remove it." Sagegreen looked up at her with glazed eyes. She noticed he was thinning with age.

"The hunters are going back tonight. I'm afraid you'll have to take care of them yourself soon."

"What? You're not that old, Sagegreen…" She trailed off. He was stalking off to check on the rest of the pack. At the time, Cricket had just rolled her eyes, completely used to him being cryptic on occasion.

Everything had changed last night. The hunters returned triumphantly with a ram and no casualties. Everyone ate. It was not until the evening that humans could be heard in the distance. When they got close to their camp, some of the older adult wolves had gone off to lead them away. The sound of gunfire rang in her ears.

Cricket had tried to follow Sagegreen out. She wanted to help. At the edge of camp, he quietly pushed her into the brambles to keep her hidden. His eyes were steely, his voice didn't waver as he told her to stay put. She stayed. He did not come back.

(Time to just make use of my current mild writing mood.)

Theia was one of the wolves that stayed behind, wishing she could tail the wolves that went out to save the rest of the pack. Her light blue gaze, which faded into a darker, more vibrant blue, was filled with concern and alarm for the active situation. The humans had got way to close to their pack, the gunfire hurt her ears...Why couldn't she be out there helping?!

The Younger-edge Adolescent glanced around as she crept through the cover, despite her odd-colored fur. Theia was usually the isolate type, and never made herself obvious, but now there wasn't much for her to work off of, considering the threat. The She-wolf was clueless, and unsure if they would come back....at all.

Theia roamed around the given cover she had, staying within the inner ring of the camp as she looked around for any other wolves..Which ones had left, and who stayed behind? There weren't many in the pack left at this point!

((Same hat

EDIT: @phrog, adding you now!))

The gunfire was fading. Cricket could hear excited human whoops, and the group loudly stomping through the underbrush to hear back to the farmland. The farther away they got, the more the forest became eerily quiet. Nothing moved. Nearby creeks barely whispered. It was too early still for birds to be chirping.

Cricket drug herself through the cold dirt and dead leaves and pushed her head out into the night air.
"Sagegreen?? Sagegreen??"
Her voice was a nervous whispered, barely audible and yet so loud in the stillness. He did not answer. She didn't know how far away he still might be. Instead of leaving the brambles quite yet, Cricket put her head on her paws and listened again. If she saw no one return soon, she would head back into camp.

——

Meanwhile, on the high hills of Crescent Moon Pack, Lichen was awake with a few of his pack mates. Their noses were turned south. Lichen's ears were up on high alert. Sometimes the humans hunted this far north, but it sounded like they were a ways away. Moving away now, even. The gunshots had startled him and a few others awake. It was hard to know what was going on, but it was a weird way for humans to hunt the deer and pheasants here.
