DARASTRiX

SPOILER: Click to show

[application]

FRiENDS.

still a young adult, Darastrix has things to learn about the world. specifically about other wolves. having been kept separated from her species for the majority of her life so far, she hasn't truly developed social skills beyond the interactions with her litter--which ended at 6 months of age. she will be awkward, struggling to realize the boundaries of strange wolves as opposed to family, but pleasant. loyalty is a huge thing to Darastrix, and she will be testing and figuring out a wolf's traits from the moment she meets them. those who are trustworthy, not wasteful, understand hierarchy--are true wolves, not 'twoleg immitations,' as she calls them--will become fast friends.

-

-

-

ENEMiES.

while Darastrix doesn't want to offend others, she will not change her opinions or beliefs to suit someone else. this can easily lead to friction between her and another opinionated wolf. on top of this, Darastrix is a dominant personality. she will attempt to dominate every wolf she comes across, in either a subtle way of words and body language, or a not-so-subtle physical altercation. any wolf who also has a dominant personality will find this displeasing, to say the least. dominance disputes will happen, and she will not quit until she either bests, or is bested.

-

-

-

LOVER.

there will only be one wolf to take Darastrix's heart and soul in their paws. this wolf will be female, but that is all she knows for certain. the idea of an ideal mate has never crossed her mind--why spend precious time dreaming up a wolf who likely doesn't exist?--and so she has no expectations. the wolf who might take her as a mate could be of any size or shape, any personality or style. so long as they are female, and has a similar outlook on life, the door is open wide.

OTHER.

relationships cannot always be so clearly defined. anything you can dream of that doesn't fit in the above categories, or fits into more than one, can go here. don't be afraid to be creative! the more twists and turns, the more fun to be had.

RiCOCHET

SPOILER: Click to show

[application]

FRiENDS.

pleasant and happy to converse, Ricochet will have lots of friends. having lived as a pet her entire life, and still a pet to this day, she is somewhat naive about life on the streets. curious, as well. stray dogs who approach, after they have been evaluated for danger level for her owner, Alex, will be engaged in happy dialogue. questions about stray going-ons, way of life, anything she can think of. though she is more than curious about 'the other side of life,' she is stolid in her loyalty to her owner. through time and effort, she may be persuaded to sneak out while her owner is at work, or asleep, but she will always return. unless the Mobile Unit catches her...

-

-

-

ENEMiES.

it's quite easy to become displeased, jealous even, of Ricochet. she has lived a privileged life--high quality food, raw meat once a week, exercise every day, training, a wonderful owner. she is a Warlock Doberman, which means she stands taller than the kennel club's breed standard, and her diet and exercise has given her muscle that many could become envious of. add to that her curiosity and naivety about strays, and there is a beautiful opportunity for some ugly relationships.

-

-

-

LOVER.

having had her entire life filled with loyalty to Alex, Ricochet has never truly thought about a mate. she assumed that Alex intended to breed her at some point, but she didn't really have a desire to find her own mate. as such, she has no idea who she will or will not like. there will be no sweeping her off her paws--she's much too grounded for that--but a well-versed male might just find his way into her heart and, with time and effort, may even take the place of Alex.

DiMYTRi OXANA

SPOILER: Click to show

[application]

FRiENDS.

to put it bluntly, Dimytri is an arrogant prick. he is more concerned with himself, and being above everyone else, to truly have friends. instead, it is much more likely that he will have 'those who bow to him.' if you have no problem stroking the egos of others, then there is an excellent chance that you will end up friends with Dimytri. however, it isn't all bad being his friend. given that he is owned by a very wealthy widow (and is therefore wealthy himself), he will lavishly dote upon his loyal subjects with food, comfort, and objects. kiss up to him enough, and he might just have his human buy you your wildest dreams.

-

-

-

ENEMiES.

it is all too easy to hate this narcissistic a-hole. he is wealthy, arrogant, and considers himself above all others. enemies will be the most common thing Dimytri has, and they are all welcomed. after all, who else is going to inadvertently spread his name around? now, that said, Dimytri is not a fighter. he will not, if there is any possible way to avoid it, engage in combat. simply touching another dog is enough to make the bile rise in his throat. which, of course, could be used to your advantage, if you know how to use it.

-

-

-

LOVER.

as far as others need to know, Dimytri is a true ladies' man. he will hit on, flirt with, and otherwise attempt to seduce any female he comes across with words and wealth. even though he would never mate with a mutt, he still finds female mutts worthy of his attentions. what others don't know--a secret Dimytri will likely take to his grave--is that he is actually a raging homosexual. though he will play up his manly charms around all females, he will only ever take men to bed, and usually only one man is unlucky enough to have his attention. this one man will be treated like dirt in public, as though Dimytri couldn't even stand the mere existence of the dog, but tender words and naughty interactions will ensue in private. of course, there is plenty of potential for drama here.

PENiCiLLiN

SPOILER: Click to show

[application]

FRiENDS.

Penicillin is an easy-going and amiable dog. she has endless amounts of curiosity, and almost no personal boundaries. if you can talk, then you're worth talking to. because of this, it is very likely that this adventurous Cavalier will have and make lots of friends.

-

-

-

ENEMiES.

given Penicillin's inability to think in a moment of stress, and the fact that, because of this inability, she often lashes out violently and overreacts, there will certainly be those who dislike her. of course, she suffers horrid regret for acting so rashly, but she simply can't act any other way. not to mention that her curious nature also tends to piss off those who are quite private with their lives.

-

-

-

LOVER.

she's never really thought about love. sure, she's been in heat before, she knows the instinct, but she has never acted on it. nor allowed anyone else to act on it with her. she simply doesn't know if she could ever be in love, and she knows she certainly isn't ready to rear any pups. she's still a pup in mind. maybe all it would take is that one charming man to sweep her off her paws...

HAELGA

SPOILER: Click to show

[application]

FRiENDS.

Haelga sees other wolves as either assets or detriments. If you can't help her, she won't have anything to do with you. She is likely to form conditional friendships, aiding only when she can be aided in return. however, Haelga also has no cares for dominance games. she could care less whether you were an alpha or an omega, and some wolves might be drawn to her because of this.

-

-

-

ENEMiES.

this rough wolf will have plenty of enemies. those who dislike her black and white view of the world. those who were in need and were snuffed by her. especially those who would seek to add her to their pack, to dominate her, and she simply disengages and takes her leave. enemies will be a dime a dozen.

-

-

-

LOVER.

love doesn't exist. it is a fluffed up word used by the bleeding hearts in an attempt to rationalize their instinct to breed. Haelga embraces that instinct, and nothing more. she searches for the strongest, smartest, most fit, male. the best genes she can find to pass on to her offspring. she will breed every year, produce as many healthy pups as she can in her lifetime, to fulfill what she believes is her lot in life.

[Lionne]

DARASTRiX.

Jesk. While we have already discussed the two she-wolves becoming mates, we have yet to truly has out the 'how' that will happen. Both Jesk and Dara seem to come from a lifetime in which their only interactions with other wolves was with their siblings; the two she-wolves don't know much about forming a relationship with anyone but family. Save Dara's connection with the Old One, but I digress. I suggest we go with your original suggestion, being that the two of them become companions (which has already happened) and they learn from one another by trail and error. Jesk will test the limits of Darastrix, pushing her buttons and inevitably getting her face pressed into the dirt each time. But she will never waver from Dara's side, showing her that despite her quick temper, she is a loyal wolf that will trust Darastrix completely. They can scout a territory for the pack to come (in progress, I need to reply! xD), hunt together, recruit together, rest together, grow together. Maybe Dara could even teach Jesk how to craft, since I know you want Dara to be something of a smith. Their bond will grow with time - from strangers to wary acquaintances, from restless companions to comfortable friends, and eventually to content mates. <3

Agapi. I have plans for Agapi to join Darastrix's pack, just as it was before. They could meet in one of two Ways, I think, so that it can be easily apparent to Dara that Agapi is a healer. I think that it's necessary for Dara to know this immediately so that Dara will not leap to attack Agapi to establish dominance; Agapi won't take too kindly to the dominance dispute since, in her mind, it would be entirely unnecessary. So long as Dara proves to have morals that Agapi can agree to (which Dara does) then Agapi will follow where she leads without a problem, she truly is a submissive wolf who will follow a trustworthy dominant. Either way, they could meet like so: Agapi could be wandering, gathering herbs and such, where-in Dara stumbles upon her. Dara can guess from Agapi's herb collecting that she is a healer, and we can go from there. Or maybe even after Dara gets into a scuffle, Agapi could find Dara and aid her. Not sure if Dara would leap to defend herself without sizing up Agapi first (I find myself doubting that), but the choice is really up to you.

RiCOCHET

Santiago. Their informal introduction happened during an event thread, but unfortunately both threads involving the two since then have gone inactive. They never exchanged names, but Santiago would recognize Ricochet's face in a heartbeat. He was impressed and even a bit awed by her quick reaction to Ace's aggression, moving herself in position to defend dogs she had only just met. He would be kind to her, wanting to sate his curiosity about why she would have done such a thing. And in turn, he would be more than willing to enlighten her about the lifestyle of a stray, even going so far as to roam the city with her - though he would eventually ask her to lose the collar, as the humans are more likely to give scraps to dogs without one. This could cause some trouble if the Mobile Unit were to be in the vicinity, you see? >D Perhaps the two of them could even be captured together by the Mobile Unit. Santiago has been roaming the city for ages. Maybe he even knows a way out of the pound. ^_^ Suppose Alex doesn't come for Ricochet as quickly as she believes he might? They can rest there for a while, Santiago would humor her and wait with her for the human to come before breaking her out himself. And then she will be his forever! Bwahaha, just kidding.

Maksimilian. Maks would understand, if the two got to talking, Ricochet's loyalty and love of her human. He too is comfortable, if not happy, with his people. But they do differ in their mannerisms, which wouldn't suit Maks so well. Instead of looking at individuals he would rather look down on them, so I'm not quite sure if the two of them would make good friends or not. Like if Ricochet wanted to play if they met in the park off-leash, Maks would kind of just stand there and stare at her like "what the f are you doing, ya weirdo?" But he would be nice enough to her, probably even flirting despite her somewhat intimidating appearance. He's bound to flirt with nearly any female he meets, so hmm.. Any ideas to expound on this?

DiMYTRi OXANA

Maksimilian. Maks adores his family, they are the core to who he is. While Dim was never Maks' favorite brother, he loves him unconditionally. I can see the two of them getting along easily enough, but in the end they might never be best of buds. They could go for walks with their humans together, as the owners should be keeping in touch so the siblings can bond every now and again. Perhaps they could cause some trouble for an unsuspecting stray sometime, or even attend a Renaissance Festival together if ever one is held in the park. Totally open for ideas with them, I do want Maks to be active with his siblings, after all. c:

Santiago. Undoubtedly, these two would end up as enemies. Santiago would abhor Dimytri's 'better than thou' personality. He would try to be nice at first, but in the end his patience would wane and his temper would flare. No real idea on a plot where-in this could take place, but I do know for a fact that it would not take long for Santiago to deem Dimytri a waste of space and blood, and he would not hesitate to tell Dim so.

PENiCiLLiN

Maksimilian. Though Maks would never truly want to procreate with Penicillin, he would definitely flirt up a storm if he met her. He would be confused as to why she is a stray, and maybe if they become friends even try to convince her to find a new owner. He won't put up too much of a fuss; he isn't one to expel his energies so wholeheartedly on anyone who is not his blood relative.

Santiago. I think the two of them would get along alright, though Penicillin's nuance of wont to attack in times of confusion would rub him the wrong way.

HAELGA

Don't really have any ideas here for your girl Haelga. Would be down for her to meet both Jesk and Agapi though. Maybe after Jesk meets Agapi and they become familiar with one another, they could be on an outing and stumble upon Haelga. Haelga could say something snide about Agapi being as useless as her tongue (or otherwise offend Jesk) and Jesk can cop a fit on her, just for funs and giggles. xD I'm sure you don't want Haelga to be a part of Tahsedov, so her becoming an enemy with Jesk (which I'm sure would happen regardless) might make for an interesting side plot. Jesk would totes bitch to Dara about 'this skank she met today', lolol

[crow.]

DARASTRiX & JESK

i completely agree. i would love to see their relationship grow over this IC year, and them decide to become mates maybe in Fall and have pups next Winter <3

Dara is going to likely decide that she wants to become mates with Jesk at the end of Summer, and will begin carving Jesk a mate-gift out of the shin-bone from the first deer she hunted. come Fall, she will follow the ritual set out in the Tahsedov post, presenting the carved bone as a gift. Jesk can either accept or deny (though i think we both know she's going to accept ;3). then they get to show their stuff :D i haven't decided what skill Dara will present to Jesk yet... i'm thinking crafting, by making Jesk some piece of armor or jewelry, likely jewelry. a necklace maybe.

then, after Jesk shows her skill, they spend a day apart. then the next morning they meet to tell each other their final decision. then they get to announce it to the pack. then they get to go have teh secks ;P pfft. but not necessarily. since getting intimate won't produce anything until one of us buys the Fertility Blessing, and they can only breed for pups in Winter anyway. so mebbe just snuggling <3

DARASTRiX & AGAPi

dunno if you know it, but Cassia had her eye on Agapi :O which, if you would rather have Agapi be in a different pack, to cut down on how many chars you're gonna have in a single pack, that's totes cool with me. however, if you still want her to be in Dara's pack, i won't complain.

i'm not sure if you've been stalking Dara's posts, but her thread 'once more,' her second hunt thread, kinda showcases just how non-violent she is xD Circe just crawled right up next to her, and Dara's reaction was "dude. who are you?" i don't see any trouble with Dara having a booboo and Agapi wanting to fix it. if anything, Dara would really appreciate it.

RiCOCHET & SANTiAGO

okay. not gonna lie. Chet has the hots for Santi xD she thinks he's all kinds of smexy, and will likely, with more interaction, take quite easily to following him. to her, he just has this calm and confident way of going about things, and that makes her want to just let him lead her.

i can see a pretty epic plot, as you described. he could easily persuade her that Alex doesn't really care for her once they get captured by the Mobile Unit ;3 we should definitely act on this. i will throw up a Ricochet post here in a bit and tag Santiago <3

RiCOCHET & MAKSiMiLiAN

ehh. to be honest, Chet is not likely to get along very well with him. i don't see much in the way of relationships happening here, good or bad. it's much more likely that Chet would just avoid him.

DiMBRAiNS & MAKSiMiLiAN

yes. so much yes. they absolutely have to meet. i can see so much "i'm better." "no, I'M better." happening with them xD

i love the idea of them just hanging out at different events in the city, or just walking with their humans. they need to have tons of pointless threads where they just do stuff. when shit hits the fan, Dimytri will definitely be clingi--I MEAN SEEKING TO HELP Maks :P

DiMYTRi & SANTiAGO

i can absolutely see them as enemies. i can't see how they'd meet, either, as Dimytri is always with his human. however, if they do meet, Dimytri will absolutely seek vengeance on Santiago for not being able to see how glorious Dimytri is. it is possible that Dimytri might develop a little crush on Santi, and likely seek him out just to tease him.

PENiCiLLiN & MAKSiMiLiAN

Peni would be more than happy to bug the snot out of Maks xD she's so curious that she'd probably kill him with questions. she was originally supposed to run with Dresden, but he never got finished and the member sorta faded into inactivity. so now she is wandering about looking for him, but also just being curious about everything.

if Maks suggests that she find a new owner, she will unload her history on him and explain that Cherry was less than human. it will take some convincing, but she might cave if Maks is persistent enough. of course, she'd want to live with him, so she can pester him with questions, and it is likely that she will constantly get herself into trouble with Maks' human by being so curious xD however, i can see a big-brother little-sister relationship developing here, if Maks is patient enough.

PENiCiLLiN & SANTiAGO

again, Peni will bug the snot out of Santi with questions and whatnot. i think it might dredge up some painful memories for Santiago, and he might become curt with her for it. to which she will likely pout and go off to find something else to do. i think a single thread would cover this xD so not much to do here.

HAELGA

she was created to be a girl for Floki, and she's kinda... anti-social. very "what can you do for me" type. i don't think Jesk or Agapi would enjoy her presence xD so let's skip that. unless, of course, Jesk does want something to complain about. cause Dara would totally kick Haelga's butt for being an ass to her future mate :P

[smoke]

DARASTIX xx AZARI

These two need to meet at some point. I'm not sure what sort of friendship/enemy-ship/neutral alliance they might form but I think it might be interesting. Azari has such a drastically different raising and alpha experience from her that she might be able to learn a thing or two, or teach an old dog some new tricks. Ari is interested in her from a distance, wary to see what she'll do, but they might be able to hammer out some sort of alliance from it all.

DARASTIX xx STERLING SILVER

Once Dara has met up with Temep and Temep and Sterling have hammered out a bit more of a relationship I hope these guys can meet. Dara might not like him much at first because he'll be posturing and reluctant to join a pack (even though he wants to because he's social and will do it for Tem). A dominance fight is probably in order for these two, of course Dara will win and Sterling will sulk but I think after that they might develop an interesting relationship, especially if Silver succeeds in becoming friends with Jesk.

RICOCHET xx GYPSY

I think Gypsy would confuse this lovely lady but it would be fun to play out. Gypsy is very much a free spirit, gambling, rambling and rolling with the punches. She doesn't overthink (sometimes doesn't even think) twice before doing something and I think it might be an interesting contrast to Ricochet. I have no idea what they would do but I think they'd be interesting friends. Thoughts?

DIMYTRI xx GYPSY

Strangely I think Gypsy would get along fairly well with Dimytri. Her sister's an arrogant show dog so she's used to the attitude and doesn't tend to take things very seriously. She also has a rather keen bullsh*t detector so I think she'd handle him pretty well. I don't know if Dimytri would like her at all because she's not necessarily one to stroke an ego but she might give him a thing or two to think about. Any thoughts?

[crow.]

DARASTRiX & AZARi

well, Dara ended up getting along with Cassia, and now they're actually quite good allies. if she can do that, she can likely get on with Azari xD i can see them possibly having a dominance scuffle, though it will be likely it would be 90% posturing. i would love to see them interact. it would be quite interesting >3

DARASTRiX & STERLiNG SiLVER

i think Sterling will annoy Dara in a very fun way xD i can almost definitely say that she will think of him as an adopted annoying teenager <3 they absolutely need to meet, but only after she's met Temep, and then with Temep begging to keep Sterling xD they can meet otherwise, but it would work out the most amusingly the former way :P

RiCOCHET & GYPSY

Chet is always up for adventure xD i can absolutely see them getting into trouble together. Chet will likely be the one going "hey, wait, that doesn't like a good idea" but ultimately going along with it anyway lol as you can see above, me and Lionne are kinda planning her to end up letting go of humans with Santiago, but i would love to use Gypsy to further convince Chet that she doesn't need humans, and that stray life is MUCH more interesting ;D

DiMYTRi & GYPSY

Dimbrains is an asshat, to put it bluntly, and i can see him being flustered and intrigued by Gypsy. since she would likely rebut everything he has to say and do to try to get her to admire him (as he think all dogs should), he'd end up with nothing left. Gypsy could likely break him down and end up as an actual friend for the self-centered jerkhole :3
