Why is it that, today, creativity is in such short supply? Rarely does one find a fantasy wolf roleplaying game that reflects much thoughtfulness or originality- until Wonderwhy.
At the intersection of attentive detailing, superb staff and members alike, and incredible freedom, is a site like no other. Make a plot, make a pack, even make your own species: make your name known, for this is Wonderwhy, and we leave nothing unquestioned.

Howdy all, just wanted to let everyone know that we are having an activity check for this month. Please read and post here: Activity Check. You have till the 28th to post in the AC.

January 19th
There are a few new things I want to draw everyone's attention to! Firstly, I have updated the requirements on the profile form. There are now longer word requirements for each section. No worries if you've already made a biography, this only applies to new applicants. As well, we have a snazzy new adoptions page. New and current members alike are welcome to adopt any characters from here! If you wish to place a character up on here check out my post on putting characters up for adoption. Thirdly, Pack Creation is open! Check out the thread for more information on how to apply. Last but not least the advertising contest ends tomorrow! It's not too late to toss in a few ads! --- Artemis

I want to extend a warm welcome to our new staff, announcement here. Everyone will make a fantastic addition to WW. As well, don't forget about our advertising contest! It'll be over in THREE DAYS. Even if you cannot match some of the highest numbers I urge you all to join as it's a great way to not only benefit the site, but also to reward yourself with PP. You guys have done an amazing job and I can't wait to tally up how many ads we all have made in TOTAL. Some people have almost 300! It really shows too, with all our new members! Welcome to you guys too and I hope you enjoy WW. --- Artemis
January 1st
Happy New Year WW! It's amazing to see how far we've all come as writers and a community. This is such a wonderful site with caring and understanding members. I wish you all the best in the new year. I also want to point out two contests that are ongoing right now: firstly, Cy's Image Contest and an Advertising Contest. Both have fantastic prizes. As well to any new member [or existing member], loners are free to create during January [but only one per person]. This means they will not cost any PP! As well the site is looking for about two new moderators, check out this thread for more info. --- Artemis
December 22nd
Happy Early Christmas everyone! WW is a buzz with the holiday season and to celebrate we have a brand new skin! Go to profile -> skin and choose winter wonderland. It features Somatra's character, Coneiron, and I asked Soar to make the banner image for us. Since we are featuring characters on the banner, what better way than to ask our artists to contribute too! The background was made by our old admin, and one of the creators of WW, Egress. Thank you all for your contributions! The Great Birthday Bash has been judged results are here. Have a great Holiday season! --- Artemis
November 23th
Howdy everyone! Happy beginning of the Holiday season! We know that this time of year is busy for everyone so fret not if you are unable to be on everyday. We want everyone to be safe and happy and have an excellent time in real life as well as here. Keep an eye out though, there might be some exciting things happening around the site soon. ^_^ - Cy
November 13th
We are instituting a word count from now on. All posts must be 200 words or longer. Think of this as a way to grow in your roleplaying and become better. ^^ Any concerns regarding this should be forwarded to staff. I have confidence that everyone on this site is able to accomplish posts at this level. If you are not able to, you will have three warnings, and if you still cannot post 200 words per post, we will unfortunately have to ask you to leave. This site is about learning, but unless we have standards for this, we cannot grow as individuals. --- Artemis
November 2nd
Happy November! We'd like to start out my announcing two new staff members to our team. Somatra and Moonrose, everyone feel free to congratulate them and ask them questions ^_^. Also, since we had that activity check, that means that pack leaders need to modify their pack boards/tables. Pack leaders please go through and make the changes you need to make so we can edit the pack side table. Send me the updated numbers and I will fix that for you. As for the B-day event, you have till this 6th to finish up your scavenger hunt, after that we will start the judging.
--Cy
October 3rd
October is a busy month for WW. Not only does it have Halloween in it, but it also marks WW's 2nd birthday. Be on the look out for birthday celebrations, they will be coming soon! Also, in lieu of Halloween, Mortui will be free to make for the month of October. Please do not forget the Activity Check which ends on the 6th. After that some neat things will be happening.

We have quite a new things to tell you about! Firstly and most importantly, we have an activity check running here. Please post there if you do not want to be deleted! Secondly, since Nali has stepped down, I have taken her place; any information pertaining to that is located here. Lastly, I just finished the newest skin! It features Ebony, a yagi x myou hybrid owned by Phoenix! I hope you all like it; the skin is called "Star Light, Star Bright". In addition, the boards have been re-ordered to fit closer with a realistic view of which territories are closest to which based on our map. Please make sure you are actually posting in the board you want. --- Artemis
August 10th
Welcome to August WW! With August comes a flurry of activity and getting ready for school. Good luck to those heading back. Just wanted to let you guys know that the voting for the Skin Rep is now going on in this thread. Please make sure to vote and show your support for the wolves voted. --- Artemis
July 17th
Due to an increasing amount of activity in the bio board we have decided to institute a new policy concerning new character creation. Once you create a character and it is accepted into Wonder Why you must now make fifteen IC posts with that character before you can submit a new character bio for acceptance. This will ensure you have made ample attempts to place your characters in plots and have a fair chance at developing that one character before another character is made. Make sure all your character accounts state they have fifteen posts before submitting a new bio. As a second part to this new policy each member may also only have one work in progress/unaccepted bio post at a time and will not be able to start a new bio until the previous one is accepted. If you do not follow these requirements the bio will be locked until a time comes when you meet the requirements. ~Chess
July 4th
Happy Independence Day! Happy Canada Day! Happy first full week of July! Regardless of what you're personally celebrating, Wonderwhy has decided to celebrate freedom by giving out some free stuff! So if you've been wanting to make an LE character, now is the time to do it. You can read more info in The Great Independence Day LE Event! [click!] ~'Nali
June 29th
It's announcement time again! If you haven't noticed already, we've had a bit of an update to the staff team. I would like to announce Chess as our new Global Moderator and Sunchaser as our new Moderator. These promotions came about as a result of a number of issues that have popped up in the last couple of days. I would like to take the time to remind you all of proper etiquette, which you can read up on here. I would also like to state that moderating the cbox is the job of the staff team and cbox mods only. Mini-modding is a banable offense and will not be tolerated. - Also please note that there have been some additions regarding plot types, as well as a new rule around making characters for mating purposes and pups in the plot and character guides. (Arty) ~'Nali
June 10th
'Ello folks. If you could please read the announcement about the new profile acceptance system, I would greatly appreciate it. You can find the information HERE. Thank you, ~'Nali
June 8th
The Hellion Mafia is having a pack update/activity check! Please go HERE if you have a wolf in the Mafia, and fill out the form. The check is ending on the 4th of July, and if your wolf is not on the safe list by then, they may be facing some embarrassing rank titles. In the coming week, I shall set up a caption test, so be on the look out! If you have a good picture in mind, please PM me! //Eastern
June 3rd
The activity check is over and all unclaimed accounts have been deleted. If you find that one of your accounts has been deleted and you would like to reclaim the account, then make a new account with the same name as the previous account and you should reclaim your old posts. Staff can assist you if any of your profiles have been moved to the achieve. Thanks to everyone for your cooperation! ~Rose
May 15th
The RP Guide has undergone some major revisions, so be sure to check it out HERE. It's a great resource for new players and a good refresher for those who have been around a while. And remember, the Activity Check runs through the end of the month, so be sure to post HERE so that none of your accounts get deleted by mistake. ~Rose
May 9th
Pack Creation is CLOSED for the time being. I implore all current pack leaders to UPDATE YOUR PAGES! This includes the packs run by staff members. The inconsistencies are becoming confusing. We may start freezing the joining of certain packs do to leader inactivity. If you have any questions feel free to PM myself or other staff. If you need clarification on what freezing means, read our Guides. --Cypress
May 2nd
Greetings, Wonderwhyians. ^.^ First off, I want to wish everyone a belated happy Easter, Passover, May Day, and whatever other holidays transpired over the last couple weeks. Next, I want to wish everyone the best of luck with any and all finals, AP tests, and other school related atrocities that come with the winding down of the school year. Finally, I would like to call your attention to the activity check [click!] we are currently having. It will last until June 1st, at which time accounts unaccounted for will be deleted. So if you'd like to keep your characters, please post! Thank you, ~'Nali

Wonderwhy is officially under new management. With Spigot's blessing, I, 'Nali, and the new owner of the site. Yup, that's right. I'm your new master. My word is law. So if you've got a problem with me, well, I'm sorry. This is how it has to be. That being said, our beloved Spick is returning to us as a Moderator. There's also been a big of a shuffle with staff. Eastern and Who are our official contest and maintenance mods respectively. Vulpes Rose is going to be our new Global Moderator, and Cypress and Artemis are officially my co-admins. For those of you on the staff team, I don't mean to blindside you and this isn't by means a demotion. I am enforcing a hierarchy and putting you guys in the positions I know you will excel at. We want Wonderwhy to be a successful site right? Well then, it's time to expect a lot of changes around here. With new management comes new ideas, and I hope you agree with me that everything is for the best. ~'Nali

Read the announcement below. Also, please don't forget to vote for us by clicking HERE. Click "Vote for this site" and enter. You can vote everyday on as many IP addresses as possible. Let's try to get to number two. c: I don't want to see us lose our spot. <3 ~ arty

ATTENTION PACK LEADERS!
Since we have changed a few things around you guys need to get up to date. Read our new rules about maintaining packs, or risk having your pack frozen. Also it would be wise to modify the joining applications, since some of them say "Must be accepted before joining." Joining packs goes hand in hand with making profiles now. Modify as needed. Also it would be wise to update the pack tables, since so many have changed recently. If you need the numbers changed let the staff know and we will help you out. Thanks all!
-CyApril 11th
As I'm sure most of you have noticed we have a new skin! You can change your skin to fit the new one by going to "Modify Profile" and then picking "Spring in the Garden". Skin was made by me, and I apologize about the copious amounts of pink. xD I rather like it. The next skin will be much less feminine. Good luck on all those getting ready to write exams!

Wonderwhy has a brand new character guide, which can be found under Home & Info! It includes information on creating a character, the Member-Character List (which you should check has all your correct info), pack setup, breeding and pup development. It is strongly recommended that you all read over the information it contains. Also, please note that the character guide in combination with the rules replaces the old WW Guide (which is now obsolete). So if you go looking for the WW Guide and cannot find it, this is why. ;p
~`nali.
March 09th
Happy March, Wonderwhy! We have a new rules page, which you can access through both the menu bar (hover over Home & Info) and the links to the left of this table. It is strongly recommended that old and new members alike read over the new rules. The old guidebook is still accessible via the menu bar.

Don't forget! Wonderwhy is currently having a Hybrid Contest. It ends March 21st!

'Ello people. If you haven't yet noticed, Wonderwhy is undergoing a bit of construction. Please bear with us while the new skin gets tweaked and the layout has a few changes.

'Ello people. How are you liking the new announcement table? Spiffy, eh? We've got some interesting IC stuff going on as well. Check it out!
A few things going on RP weather wise: a meteor shower is gracing the skies of the Eastern Lands. Winter has hit the north hard. The South is having a very wet winter, storms from the ocean are causing rains. The arid is west is experiencing a drought. The islands are experiencing a treacherous monsoon that is leading to a lot of flooding. The flooding has resulted in the complete annihilation of the islands.

Announcements - 1 Viewing Important notices will be posted here. Be sure to check back often in order to stay up to date on all that's happening with the site.
Wolf Profiles (13 sub-boards) Here, you make your wolf's biography; once you have completed the entire form, wait until your character is accepted before you start to roleplay.
Character Development (5 sub-boards) Should you want to spice up your character's life, you should start here. Collaborate with other members, create the next generation of wolves, or make a "Scrapbook" thread for the ultimate character personalization!
Pack Life (6 sub-boards) Alphas keep their individual packs' statistics here in their designated sub-board, as well as display rules and plots, organize pack meetings and hunts, and generally keep their packs in order.
Ivare Tundra (4 sub-boards) There are no trees to adorn this frozen desert- the permafrost stunts the growth of plants, meaning that only lichen, heath, and moss dare to grow. Fast winds sweep across Ivare relentlessly, bringing more chill. In the summer, the topsoil thaws to turn the tundra into a temporary marsh.
Shinkou Mountain Range (5 sub-boards) With these mountains being the highest altitudes of the land, it's no surprise that they sustain harsh conditions most of the year. Winds whip around the peaks, covered with snow year-round. At lower altitudes, serene springs of pure, fresh water trickle down the mountainside.
Parran Taiga (5 sub-boards) This boreal forest is filled with coniferous trees such as pine trees and small-leaved deciduous trees, such as aspen. It was carved from glacial paths, the deeper gouges filling with water to create lakes. The air is chilly, but warms up enough to rain occasionally in the summer.
Dteria Plains (5 sub-boards) These plains are brushed with yellow grass and a few small, heat-hardy flowers, along with the occasional tree to provide a little shade. Dteria has a few pools of water here and there, though most dry up in the heat of the summer months, when they are needed most.
Ryell Canyon (5 sub-boards) The canyon is a treacherous place to get accustomed to. Sudden drop-offs, cliffs, and a raging river far below are a few of the reasons to stay alert. For this reason, the canyon is secluded. The rocky notches along the canyon walls conceal a vast amount of caves, some of which have glittering gems within them that might just be worth the danger to see.
Hotali Desert (5 sub-boards) Like any other desert, the Hotali is painfully hot in day and can become freezing at night. Little greenery can be found, excepting scrubby grasses and cacti. Those who do not know the territory will not discover the well-hidden networks of spacious tunnels beneath the sandy dunes, with mild temperatures and ample shelter.
Yuliterra Prairie The Yuliterra Praire is one of the drier places in the Eastern Lands. Long grasses of gold and green blow in the breeze across the prairie flats, and copious amounts of yellow flowers bloom everywhere. Other varieties of wildflowers and weeds grow in the space left. The Spring and Summer afford a generous amount of rain, providing small scattered pools of water in the land's gentle curvature.
Lumera Valley (5 sub-boards) Lush greenery stretches across the whole territory of the Lumera Valley. Only a few outcrops of trees are scattered in multiple areas across the valley, flanked on both sides by steep rows of hills that shelter it from harsh weather. It is almost always green here, except in the winter when a beautiful blanket of snow rests on the grasses. Fireflies dance in the skies on warm summer and spring nights.
Pack: Children of Hvítur Ári High Chief & Chief: Reynard & Yueh
Lake Amarenthyst (5 sub-boards) Situated at the foot of the great northern mountains this ancient lake extends for several miles and is surrounded by large towering cliffs, thick forests and carved with several rivers that flow into the lake. In summer it is mildly warm with frequent showers and winter is moist with cold rain or slushy snow fall. The land is rich in flora and fauna and is often shrouded in fog and mist.
Pack: Centena Accord Queen & King: Keinvarii & N/A
Salnero Jungle (5 sub-boards) The Salnero Jungle is a tropical, humid forest teeming with the widest range of species seen anywhere in the land. Elephantine plants cover the jungle floors, providing hiding places in a pinch. During summer, gem-colored butterflies flutter and birds flit around the busy jungle.
Nanjiro Swamp (4 sub-boards) This wetland consists of mud and dark water; despite the seeming gloominess, the area is filled with vegetation, providing many homes for prey species that don't mind getting their feet (or fins) wet. A few water-dwelling stands of trees grow up from the swamp, sporting few leaves if any. Moss and lilypads float on the surface of the water, along with the occasional frog. Watch your step, for the deceptively shallow water is peppered with deeper sinkholes.
Yvit Cove (5 sub-boards) The sea's fingers extend into this sheltered cove, providing a private beach. Water laps gently upon the shore, and the salty coastal air is warm year round. Tall cliffs stand guard around the soft sands of this circular cove, while tufts of beach grass play in the dunes as the tide rolls in and out.
Feedback Wonderwhy appreciates suggestions and will gladly answer any questions you may have. Post both here, and participate in threads about the forum that could use your input!
History of Wonderwhy - 1 Viewing (14 sub-boards) Here you will find all past IC threads. Need to look up a forgotten detail concerning a character or plot? Fear not! Everything can be found here.
