I have had this idea for quite awhile, in fact I believe that a thread about it is posted somewhere in the deep darkness of the archives. And would be genuinely interested in bringing it back to life and finishing it this time. I have compiled some information below, and if you are willing to help create it/add feedback, anything is welcome C:
Territory: Shinkou Mountain Range Pack Names: Exovia Circlus, Aestus Cohort Founders: Cyther(?) Colors: Blues, greens. Values/Purpose: Intelligence, loyalty, philosophy, values each individual based on separate characteristics, creativity, secretive. They have developed their own religion of sorts, worshiping a God and Goddess. Even going as far to sacrifice prey. Due to the fact that they live in a system of caves they have a rather limited diet of mice, bats, and the occasional animal from outside the mountain. They have even learned how to plant there own food for those wolves that cannot eat meat. They spend more time on learning, religion, and wits than they do at fighting. But they still have a adept team of warriors if a battle ever does ensue. They accept all individuals and do not force the religion on them. Tend to stay away from other packs affairs unless it directly affects them. Ceremony's are held to accept pups into adulthood. Those challenging for higher ranks are to have a battle of wits with the current ran holder. They are tightly-knit and almost family like.

So! I doubt Skoll would fit in well with this pack, but the idea is rather interesting and I'd be more than willing to create a new character down the line to throw in. c: And personally, I like the Aestus Cohort name of the two.
The only problem I can think of that jumps to mind is that these wolves would be reclusive. Maybe not necessarily by choice (but at least that's what I'm reading from this), and might make plotting with others/other packs a bit of a strain. One idea that I had was perhaps the plants that they've learned to grow could be used in some sort of trade/barter system with other packs or with loners? Just a suggestion. xD
On to the issue of joining/creating it - what sort of wolves would you be looking for? Obviously someone that gets along with Cyther, but - do you have any plotty-type things in mind, or certain archetypes you'd like other new members/founders(?) to have?

Thank you for the feedback!
I really like the idea of a sort of trading system with other packs and loners. If they have food/other resources that the Cohort can not get. Than the Cohort can perhaps offer protection during bad times or something of the sort. As for attributes of new members, any are accepted. But I would prefer wolves that are less violent, creative, open-minded, and laid-back yet still able to lead a pack and negotiate political alleyways. I suppose that he would need a close friend to help lead the pack as well.

So I was thinking maybe a Kukkien would make a good member/potential founder for this pack, what with their propensity for plant care and intelligence and whatnot. I've applied for a pup, but I don't know yet if I'm going to get him - depending on if I do will obviously dictate when I can make another character, but here are my thoughts? (And then of course there's the issue of interest in the pack itself, needing three members or whatever, but anyway...)
I was thinking a youngish female kukkien (well. lol, "young" for a kukkien.) who for some reason got separated from her family or what have you and finds Cyther? She could either come in after he's made the pack, but I'd be up for having her meet -as- it's forming, and maybe assist with the organization of their agricultural program?

Oh! That's a wonderful idea!
I believe that her finding Cyther when they are founding the pack (assuming we receive another founder.) And being the head of the argicultural program would definitely fit her. Speaking of that, I believe that I'll be posting the outline for rank ideas tomorrow. :D

I would just like to arise my concerns with them moving to the mountain range. Last time I checked, Who planned on having the Empire move there. I don't know if that idea has been voided or not, but I would check to make sure.

The pack would love to have Aox as a military commander of sorts! As for being seen as a God, I was thinking of having those as more NPC characters that are mentioned but not played out. However he could be seen as a miniature...messenger God of sorts? That would be close with the Priest/Priestess and "communicate" with the Gods thus being seen as one because of this ability? And as for the mountain range Empire moving thing I'll ask Who about it next time I see him on.
Ranks Chief: Adviser: Heirs:
Priest: Commune: Healer: Scholar: Apprentice:
Head Agronomist: Agronomists: Primary Guardian: Guardians: Hunters: Sitters: Commonplace: Pups: Exiled:

I would think that being such a reclusive pack would make them more narrow-minded than open to other packs. Have you ever read Plato's "Allegory of the Cave"? That's kind of what I think about when i think of a pack living in a cave system.
Also, lyxxus could be the primary wolves in the pack since they are nocturnal. There is a hybrid that could help you with your cultivation, I think it is the Kukkien X Lupus, take a look at them and see what you think.
