Appearance
Mai'xz is a medium sized, pure white dog with blue grey brindling raggedly patched throughout her coat. She is of Central Asian Shepherd ancestry, though at times it is whispered that her forefathers must have carried the blood of a polarbear thanks to her broad muzzle, large skull, huge paws, medium length fur with a thick undercoat along with clipped ears. On close inspection one will discover that the she-dog has a long white and blue-grey brindled tail, grey-blue brindle markings framing her eyes, and a more lean body structure than belies any possibility she could have been descended from the lumbering giants in the north. Weighing in at 128lbs and standing at a shoulder height of 30 inches, this female's corded muscles are built with latent power, and astonishing endurance as the shepherd can keep up what can only be described as a lazy ground eating gallop for hours on end. Scars pockmark the female's brindled alabaster hide, physical reminders of hardships long past. Any mutations that may have entered Mai'xz's gene pool are well hidden...but those who have watched her heal note that she recovers from injury faster than most individuals.

Personality
Noted as an adapt listener, Mai'xz is known for her strength of spirit, and relaxing quality, two guiding aspects that eventually won the Central Asian Shepherd her place as beta. Independent, and slightly introverted due to the dog's lack of relatives within the pack, the level of violence that this canine can dish out came as a surprise to many within the pack. Mai'xz is very good at manipulating others in order to achieve what she wants, and is good at acting any part she needs in order accomplish her goals. Mai'xz's silver tongue, and manipulative abilities were main contributors to her victory in the fight for dominance over the former alpha. It helped that she was underestimated.

Mai'xz highly values respect and truth, and may take a sour view of any who do not display both traits as well developed. Loyalty is greatly valued by Mai'xz, and she expects every dog within the pack to treat each other with basic respect, no matter the rank, or relationships they may have. Mai'xz dislikes lies that are designed to protect others, or one's self...and views such actions as selfish and intentionally risking the welfare of the pack as a whole.

Backstory
Born and raised within Imber Pack, Mai was raised by her grandsire and the horde when her mother and siblings died in childbirth. Quiet, and slow to action, the female pup was considered rather dim by many of the older dogs within her pack. This was not the case, as the pup was tormented by nightmares and loneliness in her early years...confused by the emotions that always coursed beneath the surface, the changes her body overtook, and why things were the way they were. Simply put the female was not good at communicating her emotions, and was afraid she would be seen as weak if she did communicate said emotions.

Soon the awkwardness faded away, to be replaced by a dog who was very good at listening to others, and directing others with little need for physical enforcement. These qualities, and her seemingly lack of interest in the drive for dominance over others, made her a safe bet for beta when the former one needed to be replaced.

Views
Mai'xz believes that the traditional way of thoughts, and ranks must be reevaluated with the onset of sentience. Emotions that were not present before sentience, are now present, and interfering with the mood of the pack. Logical thought is a new phenomenon that must be considered when dogs are ranked, and ethics are a new challenge that must be dealt with. The disagreement between the former alpha and herself on this topic was what ultimately drove Mai to challenge higher ranked dog.

Relationships
|Bakar | Respected Friend & Companion | Played by Potato Lord (#33076)|
Though Bakar is relatively new to the pack, Mai'xz has found in him a depth that most would not expect of the imposing male. He can wield his voice like the sharpest of claws, or the softest of feathers, a skill that Mai'xz admires greatly. Over the last few months Mai'xz and he have developed the beginnings of a sturdy friendship.

~Age~
6

~Gender~
Male

~Orientation~
A vague shrug

~Current Rank~
Horde

~Breed~
Longdog (Irish Wolfhound x Scottish Deerhound)

~Appearance~
As a dog, Longboy is a fairly large crossbreed called a Longdog. He's the cross of an Irish Wolfhound and a Scottish Deerhound. He has the long, thin snout of the deerhound and the larger powerful body of the wolfhound. His fur is thick, rough, wiry, and a deep red brindle. His ears are floppy, but perk up at the slightest noise. He is marked with large scars, most of which seem to be burns or bites. His tail was broken at some point and jars to the left around midway. His eyes are a bright gold. He weighs about 130ibs (58kg) and stands 34" (86cm) at the shoulder. Due to the high-held head of wolfhounds he appears taller.

Mutation
Longboy has 6 small spider-like eyes as well as his normal main ones. A trio sit on the back and sides of his neck. Two sit symmetrically on his thigh. Another sits about midway down his tail. The eyes work best in low-light and have a low resolution. It can take a few seconds to recognise others if he's not looking directly at them. Being that most of them aren't paired, the eyes only get a 1-dimensional view of the world and have trouble telling distances, the exception being the few odd spots where their views overlap.

~Personality~
Barely more than a Hollow. He is ferocious, rash, but loyal to the ends of the earth. His friendships are few and far between but those he has he'd protect to his dying breath. He's tenacious, both a blessing and a curse. He'll follow through with orders until they're completed, though this has led to drawn-out hunts leaving himself and his pack mates exhausted but successful.

~Backstory~
Previously ran with a pack of Hollows. The simple life seemed to lose its appeal once they encountered the Imber Pack. Longboy could feel a yearning for something more than mindless wandering. Wanting to start anew, he killed his old pack (a handful of Hollows) in their sleep and joined the Imber pack, devoting himself to the alpha- well... ex-alpha now. He's remained loyal to them so far, but things might change.

Enjoys the simplicity of the traditional ways, but there's these new thoughts and feelings are intriguing too.

Pianissimo (Ani)

~Age~
8 Years

~Gender~
Female

~Orientation~
Ace

~Current Rank~
Horde

~Breed~
Mix (Golden Retriever x Aus Shep x Samoyed)

~Appearance~
Contrary to her personality, Ani is a fairly large dog for her breed. She's 60cm at the shoulder and a good 35kg. Her fur is a blue merle with brown points on her paws and cheeks, it's thick and fluffy, perfect for keeping out the cold. She has larger than usual paws, perfect for tromping over the snow. Her face is soft, highlighted by large brown eyes. Her ears are fairly small and pointed. Her fluffy tail curls towards her back.
Ani's mutation makes her run hotter than most dogs. If she settled in the snow she would eventually have a dog-sized puddle beneath her, though this wouldn't be too bad as she dries off faster than most. She must regularly be in the cold to stay at a safe temperature.

~Personality~
Her name is apparent in how she conducts herself. Pianissimo is a term in music to mean "to play even softer" but could be a motto for Ani. She has a hesitant softness in her voice, as if afraid her words would break something. As such she's often described as soft-spoken or quiet.

~Backstory~
Ani was born into the pack many years ago and had a fairly uneventful puppyhood. She had a wild romance with a loner and ended up pregnant. Her "beloved" quickly made himself scarce and she was left to raise Rory alone.

:GIVEN NAME:
Judah, known normally as just Jude.
:NICKNAMES:
Jude, Judd, etc
:AGE:
A young adult. He is just recently turned five years.
:GENDER:
Male, transgender. He/Him.
:ORIENTATION:
Heterosexual, Heteromantic.
:CURRENT RANK:
Horde Dog.
:BREED:
Doberman mixed with German Shepherd.
:APPEARANCE:
Jude's lineage is very apparent in his actually rather handsome appearance. His short fur is a tawny color with a black coat draped over his back and an inky mask adorning his face. A lone patch of irregular white clings to his chest with a dark black stripe breaking into it. His frame is lithe and his well formed muscles are easy to notice, along with a lightly sloped back. His ears stand up tall above his head, though they do seem a little large for his body. It almost seems surprising that they don't just droop over. His right ear is missing it's tip, as well as around 1/4th of his tail is missing. These are obvious casualties to the cold that's enveloped the land. Other scars take hold of his flesh, most noticeably what looks like teeth scraped over his muzzle and a couple of what seemed like were nasty bite marks along his scruff and shoulders. Jude is a medium sized dog weighing at the most 110 lbs, stemming from his parents being of a similar size.
:PERSONALITY:
Judah is an incredibly complicated dog.
Overview: Slacker. Low Self Esteem. Lonely. Has trust issues. Has trouble sharing his feelings. Loyal. Has a soft spot for pups. Tries to act tougher than he is. Scared. Gets aggressive when his gender is challenged. Likes to tease people. Sarcasm. Probably clumsy.
:BACKSTORY:
In the aftermath of the great earthquake and the ice age that enveloped the earth, two purebred dogs from extensive american military lineage were paired together by their militant, mostly hollow pack to produce a strong offspring. The result of this was the birth of a litter of three pups. A large first born that made his parents proud they had conceived such a promising child, a runt that gained scorn from the parents, and in the middle there was the pup that they would come to name Judith.

The pup was not by far the strongest or fastest of these military brats, but she seemed to do well enough in most of the tests that she was put through. Though, she seemed to slack off a lot more than the others. Judith often found playing and sleeping much more interesting than training, and often had to be told twice before she would actually do the things she was told to do. All in all, life for her was decent. At least, until she was five months old. In a freak disaster, their mother in an attempt to save one of her straggling children was caught in an avalanche. Buried under a thick layer of snow, they were never even able to find the doberman's body.

After the loss of his wife, their father seemed to turn a lot colder. Training was tougher, he would scream more, and had no lenience for failure. This resulted in the children being attacked by him when he did not do what they wanted exactly how he wanted it. Judith seemed to garner the brunt of her father's rage, especially with her tendency to slack off. Judith did not have the guts to stand up to their father, therefore she for the most part just took it for fear if she ran away she would perish in the harsh wilds.

As she grew into her teen years, she began to become more than hollow and realize some things about herself. Namely, that she wasn't actually a she at all. No, the teenager came into themself and realized that they were actually a him. After a long talk with one of his siblings, the newly named Judah would approach their father with the news that he would no longer allow himself to be called by his birth name and wanted to be treated like a man. This was a terrifying ordeal to approach the always angry father, and it wasn't a uncalled for fear.

Only minutes into the conversation, his father lunged forward and attacked the poor boy even so much as threatening to kill him. That's when the boy ran. Judah didn't see himself as strong enough to take on his aggressive father and therefore he just took off. The boy ran and ran with no hope of stopping. It seemed like days before he stopped. He was starving, tired, and thirsty. Only after quenching his thirst, did he curl up still hungry in a cave. He awoke with a surprise at hand. A scrawny hare before him, and a girl about his age in the cavern with him.

Judah went on to spend quite some time with this girl who had also ran away from home, finding his new home with her. They spent a year together, and the young man had developed some serious romantic feelings for this lady. He was always on the verge of just telling her how he felt, but everytime he started to he choked up and changed the subject. One day, after returning home from a solo hunt, he found her sitting by herself with a sad look on her face. She spoke of how lonely she was, and that she craved romance. Pulling himself together, Judah would admit his feelings to her.

She didn't return them. Claiming that Judah was a good guy, but saying that she had always wanted puppies, and he couldn't give her those. That she had only ever seen him as a friend. Insinuating that she had never seen him as a man. Heartbroken and angry that she had revealed her true feelings, he'd snap at her and turning away. With that, for the second time in his life he'd find himself running away from his problems.

It wasn't too much longer after that, that he was initiated into the Imber pack.

:APPEARANCE:
One word to describe Dominka? Juggernaut. She is a woman built like a brick house. She's gigantic, weighing around one hundred and sixty pounds and standing tall above many other dogs. Her weight is a bulk of well trained muscle and fat to keep her warm in this futuristic ice age. Her coloration is a bright brindle of red and black, and she's dipped in a snowy white on her face neck, chest, and paws. Black spots break this stark white in many places. Her eyes are the color of molten gold, though despite their warm coloration are normally seen as quite cold. Her ears have been cropped by her parents to near nonexistence and her tail has been given a long dock. These are breed standards that had been enforced by the fighting dogs she'd been born to. Her body is covered in deep scars from various fights and scars. There's hardly a single spot on her body that goes unmarked.

She has no apparent physical mutation, but she has been known to be able to take a lot more damage and keep standing than other dogs. Whether this is from her lineage or a physical mutation is unknown.
:PERSONALITY:
Dominika is barely more than a hollow.
Overview; cold, strict, aggressive, prone to violence, loyal, only respects those she deems stronger than her, weakness or laziness is not tolerated, commands respect, craves love

Roleplay Sample Given Privately.

|Name|
Moon

|Age|
5 years, 11 months

|Gender|
Female

|Orientation|
Straight|Heteroromantic

|Current Rank|
Horde dog|former alpha(shh)

|Breed|
95% German Shepherd with minor, tiny influences of a wolf(5%).

|Appearance|
"I'm fluffy, I know."
Moon is a gracious and beautiful German Shepherd. Her appearance is close to perfection as all of her proportions are just the size they should be. Ok, let's not let her show off too much. Her tail is longer than her body. Moon has a fluffy and long fur, making her unable to resist too much warmth, but that's good, as that's how it should be in this kind of climate.

"Look me in the eyes when you talk to me."
Her eyes are the color of an emerald with a few yellow stripes on her iris. Tiny brown spots appear here and there around her pupil. They are pretty obvious and are the color of an old tree. There seem to have all kind of colors in them, although the most evident are green, yellow, brown and blue. She has an icy gaze usually although the way she stares at people can become warmer.

"I know how to fight, don't worry."
Moon has sharp and strangely long fangs and claws. She sharpens her claws weekly and sometimes daily, when she feels stalked or watched constantly. She has these fangs from birth, and even she doesn't understand why they're so long. Moon can't always close her mouth because of them, and sometimes has to let them stay out of her mouth.

"I'm not shorter than males, 'kay?"
Moon considers herself a pretty tall female of her species, being one in fact. Her height is above average, standing at around 30 inches tall. Her tail, as I said before, is much longer than her length, 40 inches. Her ears are pointy and from the back of her head.



|Personality|
"Call me if you need mental help."
Moon is a loyal, funny and agile she-cat. She will show her good side after you get through her outer shell. She is random with neutral cats as well, but even more so with friends. She will stop at almost nothing(besides her own life) to protect them. Don't worry about being abandoned by her. Although, if she feels betrayed even slightly, her trust for you will slowly disappear. Her sarcasm usually gets the best out of her. She is lucky to be able to understand different types of people so quickly. Moon knows how to get out of difficult situations with people, and how to enter them as well.

"I don't think it's worth living at all. Whatever happens, I just want it to happen quickly."
She is loyal to individuals, but not to groups. Moon knows she's supposed to risk her life for her Clan, but it seems her selfishness won't allow her. She nonetheless doesn't bother dying. She thought that her life doesn't matter from the very beginning. Moon would rather die herself than let anyone else die.

"People who are perfect shouldn't be living."
But Moon has her own flaws, just like everyone else. She is extremely distant and suspicious at first, and might appear as shy. She is clingy as well, meaning she will probably butt in a conversation just to have a bit of attention. She's not trying to anger felines, she just needs to feel accepted. Her insecurity usually makes her doubt her own choices.

"Me? Crazy? Nooo waaay."
Let's get straight to it, when it comes to fighting, she likes her claws dirty. Moon won't step back if provoked, even if she knows she stands no chance. Maybe her ego does that to her(if she actually has one). If someone angers her too much, there might be some blood around the scenery afterwards. She thinks that it's okay to be a little bit of a psychopath and will always have dirty thoughts popping up in her mind(whether they be murderous or pervert).

Roman

{ Gender }
Male

{ Age }
5 Years Old

{ Current Rank }
Horde Member

{ Breed }
Tamaskan Dog

{ Orientation }
Bisexual / Grayromantic

{ Physical Appearance }
A canine whose appearance was once confident and imposing, Roman’s physical state has deteriorated from a lack of nutrition and proper grooming. He stands tall, with a heavy set of shoulders and a broad chest, but his ribcage prods out through his thinning fur and his cheekbones stick too far out from his face to be considered healthy. He has an array of healed wounds, including a rather nasty set of scars that slice across his rump and three deep gouges visible on the top of his muzzle. His coat contains many different shades of white, silver, grey and black, the neutral shades contrasting nicely against the crimson-amber colouration of his irises. He is about 28 inches tall and weighs around 85 pounds.

{Mutations }
Physically, he has elongated front canines that dip down below his lips and are visible even when his jaws are shut. Psychologically, it's safe to say the radiation has had it's effect on his mind through paranoia and hypersensitivity- particularly aggression.

{ Personality }
Roman's lack of social interaction has certainly affected his view of others and the dilapidated world around him. He doesn't understand ordinary manners or social etiquette, and has a tendency to speak with a growl in his tone. A bad temper is something Roman has carried his entire life, fuelled by impatience and a need to achieve admiration from those around him- even if it’s usually by force and out of fear. Tenacious and fearless, his invincible mindset can serve as quite the advantage when he’s in need of displaying some bravery. It can also cause some catastrophe however from being so reckless and haughty. Despite his unfair taunting of other dogs, one things he holds sacred is a respect for females. Roman seems to believe its him against the world, and will treat any dog who "judges" him with nothing less than violence. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but fairly street-smart.

{ Backstory }
Roman only grew up within a pack structure for the first year of his life, which explains his odd behaviour. The rest was spent wandering as a rogue and remaining solitary aside from a few very brief relationships. Despite being so truculent, he does not dare defy the hierarchy and is subordinate to the alpha, even if he does have something to say beneath his breath.

~Appearance~
Ichabod is a skinny but larger than average coyote mix, weighing 12 lbs. and reaching about 2.6 ft. at the shoulder. He adorns thick, tan/orange short fur, with patches of missing fur scattered on his body. Developed a severe disease his mother passed to him at a very young age (disease will be RPed). It causes frequent shedding, muscle weakness, excessive hunger, mood swings, as well as other symptoms. With strong periwinkle eyes, typical coyote marks, plus two unusual markings (tear lines down the muzzle and a bow-tie esque mark on his chest), Ichabod is not a normal dog, nor a healthy coyote.
~Personality~
Will be RPed out.
~Backstory~
Ditched near the pack as soon as he was weaned, his mother bared the same disease and was unable to care for him properly. Named Ichabod ("no glory") due to his small stature and health problems.
~Views~
Non-traditional; Ichabod wishes to have a more significant role in the pack, as he is very physically unwell.

Unsure atm; may be better at making friends with younger dogs, but pretty open to relationship suggestions.
~Love Interest~
None.

(Need to write RP sample)
I know that non-dog canines are still being thought about, so if it's decided they won't work I can switch to a pure-blood dog instead; no worries :)
Also, if his bow-tie is too odd of a marking I can remove it! I'd much prefer to leave his tear-lines however.
