Plot

The Black Forest Ridge wolf pack has always lived in solitude, only encountering enemy wolf packs and loners and just a few handful of human hunters who wish to slaughter them in order to use their furs for their own use. Even though the hunters made usual routes through their territory, the Black Forest Ridge packs have mostly managed to avoid contact with them.
Not too far from the Black Forest Ridge, on the edge of their territory, resides a pack of domesticated dogs. They used to live in a small abandoned town miles away from their current location, but that was before all of the town's human inhabitants were murdered, leaving the dogs to fend for themselves. As time passed on, the dogs soon realized that in order to stay alive, they had to leave the ghost town, so they all traveled into the wilderness and managed to set up a territory there.
Once the Black Forest Ridge Pack found out about the dogs settling in a little too close for comfort, their Alphas agreed that their domesticated counterparts were a threat to their survival and attacked the other pack. That was the first and final battle for both sides; the dog pack suffered the most casualties and made an agreement with the Black Forest Ridge Pack: They would leave the surrounding area forever if the wolves agreed to stop attacking them.
Years later, descendants of that same pack have returned to the area, hellbent on taking the wolves land for their own; the dogs' numbers were dwindling and they need room for their pack to prosper. The Black Forest Ridge wolves were in the way.

My Bios

Name: Apollo
Nickname: None
Age: Three and a half years old
Gender: Male
Species/Breed: Grey wolf
Personality: He likes to think of himself as majestic and poetic, which he is, but because of his slightly arrogant attitude, others see Apollo as a pain in the neck. He can't help but point out others' differences, but if he wrongs you in any way, Apollo is quick to ask for forgiveness; he hates hurting someone's feelings. Apollo is sort of a push over because he strives to be seen as a good and likable guy in everyone's eyes. He is very passionate and loyal; respectful and an easy-going klutz. He hates that the dogs want to take over his homeland, and Apollo feels that if they all just talked intend of try to invade one another's land or kill each other, the wolves and dogs would manage to get along.
Description: Since it is winter, Apollo's coat is very thick to preserve body heat. His coat is a mixture of dark and dingy browns and red; his muzzle, chest, legs, and underbelly are cram and his tail is busy and tipped with red. His eyes are pale yellow.
Background: Apollo was born to the previous Alphas of the Black Forest Ridge pack, but was knocked down to an omega when some other wolves took over the pack when his parents died. Slowly, Apollo worked his way back up to being beta once he got the new Alphas to see that he was no threat and was capable of following in their -and his parents- footsteps when he was old enough to be the pack's leader. Apollo has stayed loyal and faithful to his pack for the two years he's been in it; never once has he doubted his Alphas and believes that they run the pack smoothly.
Crush: No one, yet
Mate: No one, yet
Offspring: None yet
Pack: Black Forest Ridge
Rank: Beta male
Rank Wanted: He has it already
Other: He loves to howl and his voice is quite smooth and calm, even when he is angered
Picture:

Name: Scarlet
Nickname: None
Age: Two years old
Gender: Female
Species/Breed: Grey wolf x Arctic wolf cross
Personality: She is sweet, quiet and motherly. Scarlet used to be a caretaker, but when more wolves joined the Black Forest Ridge Pack, she got pushed lower and lower until she was an omega, where she stays to this day. However, Scarlet's work with the sick, elderly, and pups have made her a patient young female. She is a bit timid when it comes to meeting new pack members, but she warms up quickly and trusts others way too easily.
Description: He fur is a bit course to the touch, it is tawny; light an pale tans, greys, and browns decorate her coat along with some cream here and there. Her paws are small and delicate, and her eyes are brown. Even though she is pregnant, no one has been able to figure it out, which is a miracle for her; Scarlet's stomach isn't very noticeable, but later on, someone's bound to find out.
Background: Scarlet was never part of the Black Forest Ridge Pack to begin with; she has only recently joined a few weeks ago. Before becoming an omega, Scarlet was a caretaker in her old pack and the Black Forest Ridge's before the other wolves joined and she dropped in rank. In her old pack, Scarlet had a mate, he was the Beta, the Alpha's son. Since his mother wasn't able to have anymore pups due to a disease, the Alpha allowed Scarlet to mate with his son. Everything went downhill from there; hunters split up the pack, and Scarlet was forced by her mate to leave the pack grounds before she saw him shot from a helicopter. Scarlet went to the Black Forest Ridge Pack almost immediately and begged to join. The wolves took pit on her, having heard of what had become of her pack, and took her in.
Crush: No one
Mate: Deceased
Offspring: Expecting
Pack: Black Forest Ridge
Rank: Omega
Rank Wanted: Getting her old caretaker position again would be nice
Other: She's pregnant, and the pack hasn't known for a few weeks now, but since she's nearing her last week in pregnancy, Scarlet knows she can't keep this a secret for long; the pack's bound to find out and cast her out -or even kill her pups.
Picture:

Name: Lucky
Nickname: Tiny
Age: One year old
Gender: Female
Species/Breed: Ibizan hound x Labrador
Personality: Cocky, yet sweet, Lucky can get on others' nerves. She likes to talk loud and gain attention to herself, but the other pack members usually tell her to shut up, or call her stupid. Lucky has no rank in the pack as of yet because the other members constantly put her down and think she's not responsible enough to handle any pack position. Lucky has a big heart, almost as big as her ego, and she strives to prove herself to the rest of her pack.
Description: Though she's mixed with a very tall and lanky dog, Lucky is a bit on the short side. This may be because she is still a pup, or her genes made her that way. Lucky eyes's are almond shaped and dark brown, her fur is short and the top half is orange while the bottom half is white. There is orange tickling on all of her legs and her tail is feathery.
Background: Lucky was only a few moths old when her town's humans were murdered. She lived with the pack of dogs who stayed in the town after that until they moved close to a wolf pack. All of the dogs were nearly killed and they moved away from the Black Forest Ridge Pack after agreeing never to come onto their lands again. A few years passed and Lucky found herself at a year old in a pack of dogs who wanted to take the wolves' lands by force.
Crush: No one
Mate: No one
Offspring: None
Pack: Town Dogs Pack
Rank: None yet, she's just wandering around with the pack.
Rank Wanted: She wants to be a guard or a fighter. She knows she is capable of it, but the rest of the pack doesn't think so.
Other: She wears the collar given to her by her old owner around her neck
Picture:

Name: Heracles
Nickname: Snowshoes
Age: Five years old
Gender: Male
Species/Breed: Alaskan Malamute mix
Personality: Heracles' personality is sort of hard to explain. He's sort of mysterious, only appearing when his pack needs him; when he's not needed the dog goes off into the woods. Many think he is a spy for the wolves, which Heracles thinks is absurd, but never says anything about the subject. He's more of a lover, not a fighter, but won't hesitate to hurt someone if he's threatened. Heracles is clever, a fast thinker, and witty when he finally talks, but for the most part, the dog is quiet and keeps to himself a lot. He does not agree with invading the Black Forest Ridge Pack's lands but he won't state his opinion in front of his pack members.
Description: Heracles is huge. He has medium length shaggy brown fur decorated with blacks, darker browns and creams/whites. His paws are large, too, his tail thick and bushy, and his ears are triangular and stick out to the sides a bit.
Background: Heracles was born in the old town, and he has been considered the "town's dog". He didn't belong to anyone, but everyone liked him because he was gentle and not a trouble maker until his siblings who were either shot because they harassed and killed livestock, or were killed by accident while snooping around where they had no business. The town he lived in was small, the only number of residents were at nineteen. They all were murdered one night by someone in the town who left that same night. Some of the dogs were spared -like Heracles- and other weren't. The dogs he lived with moved toward the Black Forest Ridge wolf pack, but were soon attacked and retreated. Again, Heracles and his pack advanced forward, but this time they wanted to take the wolves' land for themselves.

Heracles sat underneath a pine trees in one of the very few the area of Black Forest Ridge, Yukon. Snow descended quietly from the grey-white skies above, lightly pelting the dog’s fur and dotting it with melting white crystals. The large and very fluffy Malamute mix had his head lying flat on the snow-covered ground between his huge fore paws. His eyes watched the rest of his pack out in their pack grounds; they didn't even know he was there. ’That is a good thing,’ Heracles thought with a sigh. ’At least they won’t ask me why I’m not hanging around them…or call me a traitor to my face.

Lucky’s paws made loud crunching noises on the snow as she attempted to creep through it. Her lanky body was lowered to the ground. She continued to move toward a small flock of Arctic turns resting on the ground. They all seemed oblivious to the yearling’s movements…until she decided that now was a good time to lunge at them, barking and howling as she did so. The birds immediately took to the skies, and Lucky continued to laugh and bark at them. She quickly rose to her hind legs and snapped at the feathers that twirled in a downward spiral back toward her from the sky.

Deep in the Black Forest Ridge Pack’s territory, Scarlet lied on her side in her den. A worried expression was on her tawny face. The she wolf had noticed that her stomach was a little larger than it was a few days ago. Not so big to where one could spot the difference right away, but she could feel it; every small kick caused her to shiver with the knowledge of what was going to happen to her puppies once she was into her ninth week of pregnancy. If she didn't find a replacement pack and a den far away from the Black Forest Ridge wolves, the omega wolf knew she was in deep trouble. The Alphas might have her banished or they might kill her –and her pups- and Scarlet was not strong enough to live on her own. With her mind drowning in terrible and stressful thoughts, Scarlet whimpered loudly and shifted her position so she’d be able to bury her nose in her tail’s fur.

Apollo sat on top of an icy rock that overlooked the den areas of his pack. The beta was busy grooming himself that he didn't realize that it was snowing until a snowflake landed on his nose. The abrupt cold shook him out of his current actions and Apollo quickly shook his head. He felt an involuntary shiver run down his spin as more and more cold snowflakes touched his leathery nose, ears, and the tips of his toes. The wolf got up and stretched before proceeding to cautiously make his way off the ice covered rock that was one of his posts.

Rosebud was walking around.She finally saw Heracles and Lucky."Lucky!Heracles!We've got a new member to our so called 'pack'"Rosebud said with a smile.A male dog,same age,same height,almost same weight as Lucky stood by Rosebud's side.

"I'm..Buster..I'm a Golden Retriever mixed with a Siberian Husky.."Buster said as he kept standing by Rosebud's side.Buster looked at Rosebud."Rosebud?Are you sure..I should j-join..?"Buster asked nervously.He saw Rosebud smile at him,nod,and say "Buster,Your a young pup.You should join.And,Call me Rose.I'll be your sister from now on.Looks like you've got no siblings."Buster heard Rosebud say as he saw her big head lower down and nuzzle him.

Hercules's ears perked up at the sound of his leader's voice. There was an excited edge to Rosebud's voice caused the fluffier dog to relax; he had originally thought that Rosebud was going to get on him for not being with the pack.
The dog cocked his head to the side when he saw a smaller dog by Rose's side. He looked no older than Lucky. 'That's good. At least she'll have someone her age to play around with and stop bothering all the older pack members,' he thought to himself and nodded a hello at the newer dog.

Luck heard her name called by Rosebud and stopped snapping at white feathers. The pup groaned to show her displeasure in Rose bringing an end to her fun, but she wasn't hesitant to go over and see what the German shepherd wanted. Finally, when she reached the "loner" of their pack, Heracles, Lucky saw that a new dog was standing behind Rosebud a little bit. She scoffed at the timid stance the pup had. 'This guy looks so lame!' she thought and rolled her eyes as the golden retriever mix introduced himself. 'If Rosebud thinks he and I are going to be best friends, then she can forget it.' The Ibizan hound mix sat on her haunches when Rose told the newcomer, Buster, that he could call her his sister and the German shepherd bent down to nuzzle him.

Rosebud stopped nuzzling Buster."Now go play if you'd like little one."Rosabud said with a smile.Rose sat down on her haunches and looked over at lucky."Lucky?Please,Show Buster around."Rose ordered.

Meanwhile,Buster was looking around.He finally saw something to catch.A bird.Buster crouched down low."Time to get that bird and prove I'm no weakster.."Buster thought.Buster's tail was wagging furiously.He released himself from his crouching position into a leaping position.Buster snapped his jaws tight on the bird's wing.

Lucky couldn't say now to their leader, even if she wanted to. The young dog didn't want to get into trouble. Again.
With a sigh, Lucky nodded and rose to her feet. It turned out that Buster had run off without her. Luckily, he had left a trail of paw prints in the snow covered ground. Without a word, Lucky started to trot along the path until she found Buster.
The other dog was crouching low to the ground a few feet off from some unsuspecting birds. She realized that these were the same terns she was trying to catch earlier. The Ibizan mix eyed the newcomer with narrowed orbs and sat down to watch him, not believing that he'd be able to catch one of the birds. A sudden squawk of pain ripped through the tense air around them, causing Lucky to jump, her metal tag thumping against her collar. Her mouth dropped open when she saw the Buster had clamped down on one of the birds' wings while the rest of its flock flew away. Lucky poked out her lip in a very childish manner and, with a lowered head, the young dog slowly made her way to Buster's side.

By the time Apollo reached Scarlet's den, the young female was already asleep. The beta huffed and instantly turned his back to Scarlet's den's entrance. She was his last hope of having someone to talk to; his Alphas were out hunting big game again and he knew that they would not return until dark. "Perfect," he droned out and began to walk away. "All I'm stuck with now are pupsitters and old wolves who'll talk my ears off."
The brown-colored wolf found another one of his post-rocks and hopped onto it. The view wasn't as splendid as it was on the other rock, but he could still see over the forests' tree tops a little bit. There was no sign of his pack; no tracks in the snow and he didn't see a large group of hunters, lead by his Alphas, anywhere near the part of the forest the Black Forest Ridge Pack resided in. Though he tried to shrug it off, Apollo couldn't help but feel a bit antsy. 'What if that pack of wild dogs got them..No. Apollo, don't think like that. They're fine.'

OOC://Hello Cheyanne,If Acrylic accepts you Red can be crushing on Rose .

Rosebud stretched out her slim body out in the snow.Rose knew Lucky would be jealous of Buster catching that bird.She giggled in her mind."Red?Can you and Heracles go hunting for the pack?"Rose asked politely,a small smile forming on her black lips.

Buster turned his head to the side to see Lucky."Ahh!"Buster shouted frightened from Lucky's unexpected form standing next to him."Oh,It's just you.."Buster said to himself.Buster looked down at the bird in his mouth.He smiled a bit.

Well, Arctic. Your female is always my mate, why can't Red be Rosebud's mate?

I didn't say they couldn't be mates XD what I want is for Red and Rose to develop their relationship
