| In the world of Antichthon Dragons fly, and unicorns prance. It's a world of magic, fluid and vast. Counter Earth, So similar to our own...but not. Here man is uncommon and dwell together in small settlements. Here, elves, dinosaurs and myth are real, commonplace! In Antichthon, Animals talk, think, and learn together. It's no surprise, but do expect the unexpected. As mankind does on Earth, it does in the counter Earth. Animals fall to weapons of various kinds, any quadruped must be wary. Come down to a cove, not quite a Valley, at the base of the mountains. Rich and green, untainted, but for a settlement of about 50 humanoids whom live further south. A forest fire caught near them, which pushed them away, but drove out much of the larger game. Small game is abundant though, in this virgin forest, riddled with clearings. This beautiful shallow Valley is about 150 miles across. cutting a track across the western side, close to the mountains is a large river, which runs to the base like a giant tear, collecting at the base of the mountains to a lake, shining a blue wonder. The hills at the base of the mountain are large, and before the land settled itself volcanic activity caused many natural caverns to form, some of which are interconnected by tunnels. There are three tunnels that lead out away from the main collection, one only small animals, perhaps the size of a fox could get through, and another is blocked by rock fall. It leads under the river. The last, large enough for two wolves atop one another to walk, leads out to a rock formation in middle land, marked by a clearing and a young cherry tree, not yet baring fruit. The rest, not large hills, but not plains, is rolling forest covered hill. Oak, walnut, Hickory, and Maple are the main trees found there. Pine, poplar and Cherry woods intermingle, but are not as present. Where the Fire had consumed new Birch, Beech and Pines are springing up. The young trees are no more than 2 feet high right now. Ground Cover is still struggling to come up. Common ground and fruit bearing plants are wild strawberries, Queen Ann's Lace root, cattail tubers at the edges of the lake, Huckleberries in the high hills, black and raspberry, Young tart cherries and small sweet apples, a random small grove of apricot trees from birds eating fruit. This is the land Cross Roads has come to populate! Crossroads land was not always populated by wolves however. It was full of cougar, bobcat, bear, moose and game. A few wolves who had no home banded together and in their strength and will they chased away many large predators. Together they came, and though each was from another land, another life, another rule...they became one. Each of the wolves, but ten all told, expressed their tales. Two young pairs searching for a home. One young female saw how they were, and how they worked together. She confided to her mate what she believed and he addressed the older ones. "From across each track of land we've come here. From many different paths we've trod, but here together we now stand. We should call ourselves Cross Roads, and take in any, like ourselves. Everyone deserves chance, peace, and friendly faces to call home." A few older ones were not sure, and stated that there would be those who turned away, or found them fools. The younger were not disheartened, and said that each must choose how they will stride. None of the elders of that groups, which there were three of them, between the ages of 7-9 wished to rule this new land, because much still needed done to take it as their territory. The young pair who suggested it, rose to the challenge and took the older mated pair as Betas. The last young couple became Gamas. The last four were members of the pack, as they chose to be. They knew that the age old pack, across the River, would not like them there as a clan. Slowly, the young pack built it's empire and grew. A few other wolves, loners all joined the growing pack. Their Rivals did resent them, in heir newness, their naive nature, their open kindness. Sure it would break them down before long. They were strong, generations strong and valued knowledge of war and land. They would send splinters to heckle Cross Roads, but as the new pack grew the attacks became less and less. Now, as the old Alphas drew to twilight years, and were soon to pass a youth who had joined them near the beginning, named Tris, stepped into the role of Alpha Female. Together, with her Mate, Cross roads will grow and flourish, even with dangers that lurk, and enemies threaten. With the fire having chased away large game, the pack hunting together, thus some community time, was lost. This must be made up, for the pack to stay as one. Tris bows to you, bottle green eyes closing "Welcome friend! I hope you will find safety with our family, we can be odd, we have our faults, but we are one." |

Name: Raissa Age: 5 years, 9months Gender: Female Mate: Lhucky Species: Timber Coloring: Overall husky pattern of black over white. The tone of black that she has is a bit color absorbent with no red or black tint to it when the sun hits. It instead just reflects the bit of white. From chin, down chest across belly and the underside of her tail it’s white. Where leg meets body this white tone bleeds down and engulfs the foot up to ankle. She looks a lot like Nero, only more white is present and her eyes are darker. Size: 3’7 to shoulder and 5’9 from snout to tail tip. Eyes: rich mahogany brown. Weaknesses: -Raissa is getting older, having reached the peak of her years now. She tends to ward off new faces and not speak much about what bothers her with the exception of Alpha and those she chooses to take to confidence. Her demeanor takes others to think she may be snobbish, but truthfully it’s mutual observation until she can decide if they are trustworthy of her friendship. She will try to talk out an answer before fighting, but will step up to fight. Strengths: Raissa has a firm head for questions and tends to ask them without much round about. She will tell you, sparing your feelings or her punishment, something you should know, whether Alpha or pup. Personality: Taciturn and not one to speak unless she is sure of what she will say Raissa tends to silently watch. She will ask many questions throughout a space of time however regarding things she’s curious of, mulling over each one and how to phrase it before she addresses it. To those she’s come to trust well she’s friendly, though seldom laughs. Rather participatory in their activities and engaged in their life interests, she will stop her activities if they are not dire to ask how they are doing. As a Mother Raissa would be aggressive with most others, including friends should they try to bother her when her pups are very young. Protective, but not smothering, she will encourage them to learn things and ask questions as she does, but will not coddle them should they hurt themselves during an activity. History: Raissa was born not far from her present location. Her birth pack held the belief of naming a pup not at birth but waiting at least two moons for some sign of what they will become. Raissa earned her name as a thinker, becoming chatty and questioning the world around her to a full extent. As a youth she was more friendly towards everyone, wearing the proverbial rose colored glasses. Being born of the Beta pair she was a higher standing then most but not all the other pups. A particular friend was the blooming Alpha Son who would most likely take the pack. Their friendship grew stronger as they grew older, though became awkward. She had come to love her friend, and believed he loved her as well, but it was not so. She came upon her friend and his selected mate, and it hurt her to see. She had professed herself to him but a week prior, and he had said a vague reply in return, which kept her lead on. Witnessing her friend and believed to be lover coupling with another broke the magical clearness of the world for her and she became remote for a time. She’d taken a mate within the pack when she was two, an older male, and bore a litter of three, which two survived, a male, and female. During a particularly harsh winter that year, which had killed her third pup, she lost her mate as well to poaching. Once her offspring were large enough, she being three now, she left her home, still sour about her Alpha Male friend whom she’d loved. Roving she was accepted into a pack that was semi-near her old home and made her allegiances with it’s alpha. There she resides now, happier with life than what it had been. |
