Welcome to Gaia! ::

STORY
Kanti is a wolf that was captured by a village and tortured because she was thought to be responsible for killing village livestock. However, one old woman knew the truth and rescued Kanti, bandaging her wounds and hiding her until she could recover. One night, fearing that the village would discover the old woman’s secret and punish her, Kanti fled in the night to protect the woman. But it is the middle of winter, and times are hard for a healthy wolf in a pack. Kanti is an injured, lonely wolf with nobody to help her, and will soon surely die without help.


I’m looking for another person to play the (preferably male) lone wolf that stumbles across Kanti and helps her. Romance isn’t required, but is allowed. PM me with your skeleton filled out please!

SKELETON
Wolf name:
Wolf description: (picture would be great!)
Personality: (a few different things please, not just one word, really describe your wolf self)
Reason for being a loner: *this really is important, I’d like for this to be in the story at some point*

EX: (my skeleton)
Wolf name: Kanti
Description: Picture is above under story
Personality: Cautious because of recent experiences, but also desperate for help. In general, very lively and mischievous, often getting herself into trouble
Reason for being a loner: Too weak to find old pack after village tortured her, wants to return to pack life because of its security, but at the same time resents pack law and likes being on her own.

RULES:
Mostly same as guild rules. Keep it PG-13 please, but as stated above, romance is allowed. Cussing is ok, IN MODERATION. I’ll allow some minor god-modding, things like changing it from day to night or vice versa, or stating weather conditions [rainy, sunny, windy, ect.] or after a while a change in seasons, but in the form of “As the sun slipped behind the trees, such and such did this” or “The snow was starting to melt when…” but the wolves don’t control nature, so don’t make it sound like something like that happened because the wolves made it happen. PLEASE try to use correct grammar, punctuation and spelling. Minor mistakes will be overlooked, they happen to everyone, but I can’t stand RP’s when I don’t know what to do because I couldn’t understand what the last person did. So please, make your turn legible! Other than that, I just want a fun, interesting RP so enjoy!!!

Kanti lay in the icy snow, ears laid back on her head as she surveyed the surrounding area. This place was too open and exposed for her liking, but she’d been unable to drag herself any further. At least there was a stream relatively nearby so she wouldn’t have to force herself to walk far for a drink, and if she was lucky, maybe she’d be able to catch a stupid rabbit or squirrel.
She had just begun to chew restlessly at the bandages on her forelegs –oh but they itched something terrible! – when the wind blew a strange smell across her nose. She stopped and sniffed the air, quickly recognizing the scent as a young, strong male wolf, easily capable of killing her in her weakened state. She growled softly and prayed that this other wolf would stay away and leave her be.

Kanti listened fearfully as she began to pick up the other wolf’s soft footfalls with her keen hearing. The wind whistled by again, and this time she caught what he was after: a rabbit. On one hand, Kanti was grateful to know he wasn’t hunting her down. On the other, as the wind began to blow yet again, this time it carried the odor of the rabbit’s blood, and Kanti’s stomach growled hungrily. She hadn’t eaten in days, and this rabbit was very close, and very dead. The only problem was this other wolf that she knew, in these lean times especially, would defend his catch viciously. Suppressing a hungry whimper, Kanti lay her head down between her paws.

Kanti’s head jerked up and an easy growl slipped from between her teeth as she heard the male wolf begin to head towards her. The snow crunched under his paws and panic shot through her. Lying there on the ground she was an easy target. Fighting back a yelp of pain, Kanti forced herself to her feet. Her front legs threatened to buckle beneath her but she managed to hold herself up. As a large black wolf came into view the fur along Kanti’s back raised and she bared her teeth into a snarl, unwilling to die without putting up a fight.

Kanti stared in disbelief at the rabbit now lying at her feet. She glanced at the stranger wolf as he walked off toward the stream. He was certainly big and strong enough to care for himself. Still, Kanti hesitated before gratefully begining to devour the rabbit, all the time wondering why the other wolf had been so generous.

As Kanti finished the rabbit and licked the last traces of blood off her paws she heard the male wolf as he moved slowly through the snow. "He's already after something else," Kanti thought to herself. Instincts told her to be grateful he shared the rabbit and to let it go and leave well enough alone, but like with the village, curiosity got the better of her. She waited until she heard the wolf catch his current prey before dragging herself back up and slowly, carefully making her way down towards him and the fresh water.

When the male wolf came into view, he looked up at her, teeth bared. Kanti stopped in her tracks, not wanting to press him into a fight. She sat and watched him curiously for a moment, her head tilted to the side as she examined him. Their eyes locked and the male gave a low, warning growl. Kanti barely twitched her tail. "I'm not going to ask for any more. I wanted to thank you for the rabbit you gave me," she said.

“Why’d you give me that rabbit? It’s the middle of winter. Food is hard to come by anyway. Why share with the competition?” Kanti asked. She showed no intention of leaving.
