ROMSDAL, SCANDINAVIA
19204209534_f0c447c532_b.jpg
c h a r a c t e r s r o l e p l a y
Date: Year 1025 AD
Location: Slogen Mountain Range
Canine Population: 1000+
Estimated Wolf Population: Extinct.

Wild and untouched, the stretch of valley circling the Slogen Mountains is breathtaking in it's beauty. Human kind does not roam here, and as such, only the most suitable of blood has been said able to claim these lands as their own. Enter Highvalley, a sophisticated kingdom of canines who have pursued a bloodline of excellence through special selection and an elimination of tarnished genes- otherwise known as the lineage of the wolf.

Devolved, disease-ridden and violent, one of the first kings long ago declared that wolves were a threat to society and ordered for them to be killed. He was greeted with success in return, and soon he owned a land free of canis lupus, as it is said to be today. This was until a nomadic clan of peculiar looking travellers appeared on Highvalley land with their tails raised and fangs bared. These beasts appear far from pure-blooded, and are familiar with the tales of Highvalley dogs eliminating wolves years ago. They are the Blackback Guard, a vicious and passionate family of vikings who are eager to take revenge on those who have pushed them to the brink of death. Will the wolf-blooded make a comeback, or shall the dog king hold firm on his crown?

♕ Every being who lives in Highvalley Kingdom is considered pure-blooded. This means they are entirely domesticated dog, and their lineage contains no trace of wolf, coyote, etc.

♕ Highvalley dogs are very sophisticated and practical. They have a very complex hierarchy and ranks that have very particular roles within society.

♕ Highvalley dogs are extremely religious. They follow a formal Christianity and rely on prayer for guidance and advice. If a dog is fatally ill or injured and the only remedy available to them conflicts with their beliefs, they'd rather leave God as the decider of fate than taint their own religion.

♕ They are noble and loyal. These dogs do not dare leave any family members or general members of their society face discrimination or an unsightly death. They are also extremely strict with their laws, but also fair- most dogs will be allowed to plea their innocence in trial if convicted.

♕ Extremely resourceful with what they can find and craft. Most stones, gems, feathers and rare metals are worn to signify social status.

♕ Highvalley's kingdom is a large stone castle that is lit by fire. It sits right on the edge of a cliff, waves crashing below.

♛ While not every canine born within this clan has wolf blood, most appear to be at least mid content or low content. No pure wolves exist in this clan, but this would be considered the last line of wolfdogs to still live.

♛ Blackback dogs are ruthless, proud, and exuberant. They rarely back down from a challenge and do not tolerate being ridiculed or perceived as incompetent. Retaliation is ordinarily met with violence and these dogs are not above murdering, maiming, or even torture.

♛ Blackback dogs laugh at the idea of a Christian God. They pray and worship various Gods, such as Freyr, Thor, Odin. They believe once they die an afterlife awaits in Asgard, and they will walk freely along a hall called Valhalla. They are extremely spiritual.

♛ This clan gains a vast majority of it's lore from frequent raids. They steal from wandering packs or established colonies and usually leave destruction in their path. They've even been known to sniff out prey that has been recently killed just to steal it from it's owner.

♛ Extremely resourceful and knowledgeable when it comes to what the land can provide them. More accessories worn usually signifies social status and/or general intelligence. Most often things are crafted from stone, bone, feathers, fur and hide.

♛ These dogs are terribly "old-fashioned"! They are sexist and believe strongly in gender roles. Females are meant for breeding, hunting, caring for young, and ensuring the males needs are met.

R A N K S & R O L E S
H I G H V A L L E Y C O U R T

Lord King
The high ruler of the entire kingdom. His word is law. Usually very close with his Lord Duke and Priests. Makes all important decisions and usually has a very long line of family members.

Lord Duke
The royal advisor, and potential heir to the throne. The Lord Duke assists in important matters and will often step in for the King if he is unable to. Usually a relative of the King.

High Priest
Canines who hold their religious beliefs quite sacredly. They have authority to perform rituals as well as tend to their sick and dying. These dogs cannot legally take mates.

Knights
Noble dogs who have been trained in the art of war. When not involved in active combat, they spend the majority of their time patrolling the premisis and guarding it from invaders. Some knights are more seasoned and therefore rank in as "Captains" and have more superiority.

Gatherers
A collective of the rest of the community. They are essential to ensuring everything runs smoothly- they gather materials, and hunt for the pack. These dogs are even more respected than the Knights in some senses.

Prisoners
Usually dogs who have ended up in the omega position for several different reasons. Conspiracy, murder, thievery, or in some cases.. being believed to be a wolf.

B L A C K B A C K G U A R D

Lord Jarl
The Lord and Leader of the entire clan. His word is law, and he upholds his leadership with an iron fang. This position is only to be held by males.

Lord Commander
The closest male companion of the Jarl. They are trusted in offering important advice and acting as leader if the Jarl cannot. They are to become Jarl next if the current Jarl has not named one of his child as an heir.

Black Witch
Spiritual-based healer. It is said they have powers to see the future and aid the dying. They do not praise the standard God. Very rarely is male.

Berserkers
Powerful males trained in the art of war. They are rarely female, but they can be. Females in this position often face a lot of criticism, and can lose the position quite easily.

Scavengers
Hunters and huntress' who are skilled with knives, bows, and often create their own artisanal work. Keep in mind, these are dogs with paws; their use is pretty limited, so often their wares are poorly done or just difficult to maneuver with. They are in charge of hunts, collecting the hide from the prey once it is finished with, and scavenging for necessities.

Youngbloods
The untrained and naiive of the pack. These are adolescent dogs who have to endure tough training and unfortunately, usually a fair amount of mistreatment. It is during this stage they discover if their skills most benefit the berserkers, scavengers, or perhaps as a Black Witch trainee. Dogs who cannot find their true calling often up as omegas- which is not an ideal place to be.

I'm sorry to post in here before things are open, but your inbox is full and I wasn't sure how else to contact you. I can't respond to any of your messages and I don't want you to think I'm ignoring you. I know the limit is supposedly 200 messages, but it starts acting up around 195.

@Skazzle

Noted! Glad you're joining us c:

With that being said, once Skazzle has their character sheet up for that specific position, I won't be allowing any more females into that rank.

@Big Cat God
I'd prefer if you'd transfer the information from the Google Document onto the character sheet page!

HI! This is super interesting and well thought out! I was wondering if a black witch could be male? I know it said rarely but if that doesn't fit let me know.
