Story [About Shifters]
Since the beginning of time, a race of wolves called Shifters have roamed the planet. They've never shown themselves; they're too different than others, which made them afraid they'd never be welcomed had they revealed themselves. They are, in fact, correct. Long ago a Shifter had revealed himself to regular wolves. They feared him and his powers and banned him along with his entire species from ever joining the pack. All were to be tested before joining, which is still being done. The Shifters moved to an area that lies between two mountains. It dead ends at a huge field with dens surrounding it in the shadows of the trees that border the field. There's a certain secret path that leads into these mountains to this area but it is, in fact, secret and only pack members know it's there.
Now you're probably wondering: What is a Shifter? Well, it's a wolf that, in the day, looks like a regular wolf. At night, however, their true form reveals itself and their powers are available for use. The true forms of Shifters are very different from a regular wolf and can contain unnatural colors or just be unnatural altogether (Don't get it? Look at my own characters). Their powers differ from wolf to wolf but there are some related that share the same powers. Some develop new ones over time that replace older ones.
There's only one way to tell a Shifter from a regular wolf and that's their eyes. In the light of the sun, their eyes are normal but when the go into the shadows, their eyes take on a faint glow. It's not that glare most animals have in their eyes at night. It's an actual glow the color of their eyes.
Story [About The Packs]
The first pack is the Midnight Wolves. They are the pack that lives in the mountains. You may be wondering this: You just implied all Shifters live in the mountains. Not long after they moved into the mountains, one of their own kind got a little power hungry. He decided to try to overthrow the alpha, Taze. The wolf, Vaughn, had nearly succeeded but hadn't because of the wolves that remained loyal to Taze. Vaughn fled with those loyal to him to the outskirts of the Midnight Wolf territory. He and his wolves roam that area, planning their next attack. Vaughn's pack has since then become known as the Outlaws. The Shifters cross paths every now and then and are ordered to kill if a Midnight Wolf crosses into Outlaw territories or if an Outlaw crosses Midnight Wolf territory.
Midnight Wolves can be spotted easily. All you have to do is look for the feather that hangs from either their tail or neck.
Powers
Keep in mind almost every power has a cost. Be sure to look at this. Powers may also be added along with the power maximum. You can switch out old powers for new ones or add ones to your wolf if the maximum ammount is upped.
Invisibility -
You are completely invisible to everyone but wolves with the Pathfinder power will still see your path and outline. You are also invisible to those who can slow time, so it doesn't effect you.
Pathfinding -
You can see paths from other animals. You can also see paths from those long ago, dead and alive. You can see the paths of invisible wolves and see their outline as well. You can't, however, tell the difference between paths when they cross until they separate or whether or not the animal is alive.
Slowing Time -
You can slow down time to give you an idea of what your next move will be or what you can do but you are slowed as well and invisible wolves aer your main weakness because if they are invisible when you slow time, they are uneffected.
Senses Enhancement -
All senses are enhanced to where you can hear father, see farther, smell fainter scents, react faster and feel vibrations in the ground more. Your weakness is those who can slow time because you cannot react as fast due to time being slowed.
My Roleplay Rules
I will add more if it's needed. Keep that in mind.
• Your wolf isn't unstoppable. You will have two warnings. After that, I will remove you from my list of accepted roleplayers.
• You may use abnormal colors for your wolf's true form. Only the true form.
• You may leave certain parts of the skelly blank (Not the things I need to know), especially if they say "optional", but you must eventually fill out those that don't say it. Your wolf must have looks and a true form, must it be a written description or picture but you can leave it blank if you're looking for one or cannot finish the skelly at that time. You'll have two days to fill out the skelly entirely unless it's an area that is optional. After two days, you must redirect me to your skelly or repost it.
• You can list all characters under one skelly but make sure they're at least separated like mine or in a similar way.
• You may use an abnormal wolf for your wolf's true form as long as it has something wolflike about it. Look at my own characters for examples.
• Don't copy names (It can be spelled differently) because it can be confusing trying to figure out which wolf is which due to the names being exactly the same.
• You cannot roleplay your own character's mate and/or crush. You're also required to make a skelly for any pups when they're born.

• No extra powers for your wolf's true form (Besides the ones listed). This includes (Even if very slightly) extra strength, agility, etc.
• No permanent loners. Loners are fine if it's only temporary but otherwise you must have a wolf in a pack. This is a pack roleplay after all.
• You can request powers but they may not make it to the list.
• Please allow me to control day/night. I don't want members to have their characters playing in a million different times of day or night.
Skelly/Form To Join
I do choose whether or not I allow you to join, so don't get mad if I tell you no. It's not a completely open roleplay where you don't need to be accepted to take part. If I think there's too many people here, I will close it to anyone who wants to join. Sorry but it happens (More than likely it won't though).

Marrow - Alpha Female
No Alpha Male at this time
No Alpha in training at this time
No Alpha pups at this time
Lead Beta and Other Betas -

Lead Warrior and Other Warriors -
These are the best fighters in the pack. They are chosen to scan the territory for Outlaw wolves and kill when neccessary.
Siren - Lead Warrior
Luken
Lead Hunter and Other Hunters -
These aren't neccessary the best fighters; those are the warriors but they are the ones that bring in the food.
Blackout - Lead Hunter
Ladon
Unranked Wolves -
It's self explanatory but just in case, they're the wolves that have no ranks, no other place that suits them or are waiting to be given a rank.
SilkenGhost
Omegas -
Being the lowest rank possible, Omegas are looked down upon because of their tendency to goof off, joke around, be too playful, aren't serious enough and on certain occassions, this rank is given as a punishment.
No Omegas at this time
Wolf Ranks [Outlaws]

The Alpha of this pack has no Hunters because he feels you must fend for yourself. He won't set others out on journeys only to come back with little to nothing for everyone. The Alpha has no Unranked wolves because he believes you either have a place or don't stay. The Alpha has no Omegas because he simply won't tolerate them. He's fine if you goof off or joke around as long as you're serious when it's needed.

My Characters
Keep in mind that these will slowly become finished. I have been busy lately and, really, the only things you won't see are personality, history (I never do those two; I only put it on the skelly because some like to include those) and looks. I draw my character's looks (True forms only) most of the time so don't expect more than one character's looks per day. At least you'll know what you need to know.
