Description

Prepare your parent of the year awards! The ice mama and Mr. "just stepped out for a second."

The story of them simply is more or less that Isi thought the sire was her forever love and mate, but he stepped out and disappeared, leaving her pregnant with Nayati, whom she didn't want and ended up never quite loving. Despite that, he inherited a lot from them combined. Obviously he got his mom's build and his dad's light pelt, but his eyes are deep like his mom and green like the dad's. His pattern is a combination of both as well. His fur type takes after pops and his narrow features and long tail take after his mom. Ear shape from mom, ear height from dad. Narrow muzzle from mom, slight tilt down of the nose from dad. Lots of mixed things, you see. ;D

SOOOO yeah guys, I'm going to make these open for adoption to the WoLF group members for anyone that wants to try out for them. I'd love to see them running around and having interactions, potentially even with their dysfunctional son~ (I mean, why not? Their family dynamic is already as dysfunctional as it can get, right?...muahahaha) SO here's what I'm gunna do. I'll explain how this is going to work below, and then after that I'm going to write down a small bit for each of them, explaining what little is canon and then allow people to take it from there.

Bullet; Blue  HOW TO APPLY FOR A PARENT! Bullet; Blue 

Bullet; Black I'll be asking people to fill out the application like they would for any wolf being added into the group, upload it to stash, and then link it to me in the comments. You don't have to fill out every place, but personality and history are the big ones. Those are musts. Any extra info just helps to flesh them out like icing on the cake (and I honestly love extra info, so that's a good way for brownie points.) In addition, I'll ask for each person to include a small sample of how they RP, because this is based on writing and your ability to handle characters, not on the artistic girth. ;D 

(Activity factors in as well. Super active people can obviously handle a character. People who have lost multiple characters or lose interest quickly make me nervous, sorry.)

Bullet; Black You CAN apply for both if you want to, but I'll only be giving each person one.

Bullet; Yellow Side note: Even if you're not applying (or if you are) you can recommend someone. If someone you know is applying for a parent, please do honestly let me know if you support them and, if you'd like to say so, why you're recommending them. :D Good chance to say something positive about someone. (And HEYYYY if one person wins a parent and has recommended someone else, then that might help me figure out who would be good with RPing them potentially interacting together. That'd be cool. Not a guarantee, but definitely cool)

Bullet; Black  If you fill out the family portion, please remember to add Nayati as a son and the opposite parent as a past mate. 

If you fill out the bloodline portion, please refer to Nayati's application for the types of bloodlines in him to help construct a reasonable mix, but you can sort of go off of what you want and we can assume he only inherited parts from grandparents or whatnot. ;D

Bullet; Black For any information already canon on them, look below. Some things are set in stone, some things are totally up to you. So make sure to check those out. 

Bullet; Black You don't have to draw them, certainly, because I don't want people to waste their time on drawing the character that they may or may not win. vuv So you /can/ draw them, but the written part is what I'll be reviewing.

Bullet; Black I won't set a time limit or specific date on these parents, because I know how rough this time of the year can be with school and all. I will give a few days to a week before giving any reviews, though, as I'll wait for people to have time to apply. That doesn't mean that's when a final decision will be made, but it does mean that me not answering is /not/ saying no. I'll let each applicant know whether or not they were chosen at the decision moment so that no one is left int he dark. 

Bullet; Black I will chose who fits best, and that might be an early or later applicant. 

Bullet; Black If you do win a parent, you are allowed to change their designs and such to fit your style and liking to some extent, obviously, because it's yours. But there are certain things that are important to me for the sake of Nayati making genetic sense. vuv 

Bullet; Black If you win a parent and no longer want them / can't handle them / lose interest, I am NOT okay with you selling the design, because it was free. I /am/ okay with you keeping it for yourself if you really can't let it go, but I'd be very happy if you would allow me to hold new applications for the parents so they may remain active or if you would select someone in the group you trust to pass the character on to. Just let me know. If you drop out of the group or remove the character from he group, that's understandable, but I do ask that you let me know the situation and, again, I'd be very grateful if we could work out a way for them to stay in the group under someone's control if at all possible. vuv Thanks~ Bullet; Black 

Bullet; Red Just to reiterate, please never sell this free design, but there are other ways (look above) to handle it. >n> Bullet; Red 

[Edit] (BY THE BY, I will not force you to start them in the group as soon as you win. ;D Wait until you're ready, but apply now if you can use them in the near future (within a few months preferably) [Edit]

Bullet; Blue CHARACTER STARTING POINTS / PROMPTS! Bullet; Blue 
(please read for application process)


Bullet; Green  The Sire:
(unnamed. Name up to the choice of the applicant. Please include a name in the application.)


Canon Personality: (None. It's a mystery up to the imagination of the applicant)


Canon History: His history is almost entirely open, other than a few specific things that take up very little time in his life.

1) At some point, he ended up in the mountain range / valley that Ahote and Nayati's unnamed pack inhabited, whether he was born there or was a roamer that wandered in there.

2) He met Isi, a member of that unnamed pack.

3) He either fell in love with her or manipulated and seduced her, mating with her and getting her pregnant but left before she (or logically he) was aware, leaving her high and dry, never to return.

4) He has a son that he has never met and possibly doesn't know about.


Prompts for thought: (These aren't something you have to answer or include but may help you come up with ideas)

-I don't know much about him personally, as he really wasn't part of the history of Nayati other than siring him and disappearing before he was born, leaving him to the mother. He could be a great wolf, a damaged wolf, a prowling roamer who seduces females and runs off on the regular. I'm not sure what I see him as, but there are lots of different things I'd love to see. Have at it!

-Where did he originally come from? The neighboring, enemy pack of Isi's? ( Oroseirá (Oh-roh-see-rah ) was the name of that mountain pack that harassed Isi's unnamed one. Nayati would later be captured and tortured by them as a young one, only to later burn them to death with human's fire. ) Was he from far away? How far had he traveled and what hidden secrets could have kept them apart or driven him not to care?

-Why did he leave? Did he ever love Isi? Was she just a fling for him? Was there some sort of fear or other reason involved? Is he damaged, weak, cold? Did he even leave on purpose or did something happen to him? Lots of options!

-Does he know he has a son? How? Did he stick around in secret? Did he watch Isi struggle and mourn his love? How long? Why? Or did he walk away and never look back? How would he feel if he did know? Would he want to meet him? Would he be ashamed of his son's build and jaded personality? Would he feel guilt for the life he left him to suffer alone?

-Does he know Isi's pack was destroyed, the valley flooded? How does he feel about it if he knows? Does he care? Is he glad he wasn't there?





Bullet; Green  Isi: "Deer-like"
(her name is canon and set in stone as the name she had when she gave birth to Nayati / "raised" him. She could have a different name before or after though, as she could have renamed herself.)


Canon Personality: (Not a lot of traits are set in stone, so it's pretty much up to the applicant, but she's not an outright terrible wolf. She doesn't have to be an angel or a demon, but she's not evil. She did, however, fail to attach to her son because of being abandoned by his father and then proceed to become cold and neglectful to him. That could factor in.)


Canon History: (She has more than the sire because she's from Nayati's history and is from the unnamed pack that has been expanded upon by Ahota and Nayati's stories. However, this could be a good thing to start from and she would have more of a starting point for some relationships with Nayati and Ahote both, since she'd obviously know them.)

1) About 3-4 years (doesn't have to have time mentioned) prior to this, her original pack's lands were lost to them by a late fall drought and fire. This left her and her unnamed pack to be forced out on a long journey to find new homelands, during which they were hit by a hard winter that ended up killing many of their members, especially the young that were with them. (Calfuray and Mika, the medical wolves of the pack and Ahote's parents, lost all but one son.) Just about mid-way through winter, they found a river valley among tall mountains that was supposedly unoccupied and settled down there, claiming a new homeland and managing to get by on the good hunting there. (This one's optional, depending on if she was born into the pack or joined after their move)

2) Their neighbors, the Oroseirá (Oh-roh-see-rah) pack, fought them, terrorized them, tried to steal their lands, and even got their medical wolf Mika infected with "madness fever" (rabies), which ultimately caused his son to have to put him down. Their packs were very much at odds and it likely affected her.

3) She met the sire, fell in love with him, believed he would be her mate and join her pack, had relations with him, and then he just was gone. He left her. Then she found out she was pregnant with his offspring.

4) She didn't want the growing life inside of her, didn't want it to be /his/, didn't want to raise them by herself. (Whether or not she tried to get rid of them / starved herself / hid it from the pack / anything is up to the applicant.) 

5) When she gave birth, the only living pup was a son, Nayati, who was thin like her but had a build like his father. (Whether he was the only pup or there were other stillbirths is up to the applicant.) 

6) She did try to get attached to him, but never did, became neglectful and cold, and ultimately watched from the sidelines as her son became an anxious, insecure pup that sought mothering from their medical wolf, Calfuray, rather than her.

7) The valley was flooded about ten months after Nayati was born, killing almost all of the pack and destroying the lands in a mudslide. She was separated from Nayati and didn't see him afterwards.

(the rest is up to youuuuuuuu)


Prompts for thought: (These aren't something you have to answer or include but may help you come up with ideas)

-Is she originally from the pack of the valley? Did she join them before the fire drove them out into harsh winter or after? What did she think of what happened? What did she think of their neighbors? What would she think if she knew they had captured her son after he survived, killing Calfuray, and tortured him? Would she care?

-Why could she never love her son? Is it part of her personality? Is it because she could only see him as his father? Does she feel guilt and regret it? Or does she think it's his fault? 

-Does she think her son died in the mudslide? Does she care? Does she regret not loving him? Does she want to find him? Is she just received he's gone?

-How does she feel about the sire? What would she do if she ran into him again? 

-What would she do if she ran into anyone she knew from her original pack? Ahote? Her son, Nayati? Would she want to see them? 

-What exactly did the loss of her home and everyone she knew do to her? Was she with others now lost or dead? Did it devastate her? Does she blame someone or something for it? Does she see it as a new beginning? 

-What does she want moving forward?


~~~

AAAAND that's it! :D Have fun!

(nayati for reference: Nayati )
