Kangl & Imrit Stuff...

[RandomWiktor]

So... I really like Kangl and Imrit's pack. The problem is, I play basically all of the pack, which leaves virtually no opportunity to interact with others. I am considering putting some characters up for adoption to long-time members with the promise that a lot of interesting, unfortunate shit happens to this pack. Or alternately, I'd like to open the doors to anyone to join said pack. So here is roughly what is projected to eventually happen in the group:
- Kangl and Imrit will eventually pair up, but not until after Bragi pursues Imrit and forces Kangl to make up his damn mind already.
- Does anyone WANT Bragi? He is a Saarloos bred by a show breeder whose shipping crate broke allowing his escape as a young dog. He was raised by wolves, lost most of the pack and the tip of his tail in a fire, and is now trying to inch his way to alpha position in the pack. He won't win, but I was thinking he may either become the new #2 in the pack when Kovou dies, leaving a little thorn in the side of Kangl and Imrit's relationship, or leave altogether. Subject to whoever wants him.
- Hu-Rhiw's injury during the mountain lion mess left him mute, because a wolf couple with one deaf animal and one mute one is just too awesome. Speaking of that couple, Breeze, do you like them as part of the pack, or do you want them to eventually form their own pack?
- Astra will leave to do some soul-searching and possibly to confront Trista. It would be really interesting if she paired with a member of Sheba/Ceph's pack since Trista lives there, but I think I play anyone who could fill that role.
- A'sha will die unless Breeze still wants her?
- Kovou might eventually die. I love his character but frankly he doesn't do much and he might work better as plot fodder since his death would mean a lot to everyone. I'm thinking maybe he could die protecting a packmate from something.
- Epinicion will leave. Stan, were you still thinking of pursuing a gay wolf pack/pack with gay alphas even though Kayota does not seem to be a member anymore and you two aren't on RPing terms? Because if so, I would be willing to make Epinicion's character homosexual and would be glad to introduce him to Modesto. Rami and maybe Larkas are on board for that pack, too.

So... yeah. Basically, Bragi and A'sha are for adoption, new members are welcome, and some characters are leaving to hopefully have some interactions.

ETA: Oh yeah, if either Stan, Breeze, or Red were *really* interested, I would actually consider putting either Kangl or Imrit up for adoption since I know you guys would do them justice... and yes, I'm that desperate to play this pack. Heh.

[Breeze]

Hu-Rhiw mute... ;D That's just hilarious. Also, I totally plan to have Skoggi be gult-ridden and/or bitter towards the pack after the mountain lion mess. So I guess there may be potential that they break off and form their own pack, though I imagine Skoggi's guilt involving a fear that she would not make for a good mother due to losing the puppies. Heh.

Sure, I'll play A'sha; we all know I love traumatized characters.

[Stan]

I’d definitely be glad for the gay pack plot to be revived. Want me to post with Modesto so we can get that ball rolling?

Also would be glad to take on Bragi – anything else I should know about him? And how long has he been with the pack? I’m kind of anxious about not warping the character too badly, heh.

[RandomWiktor]

Awesome, A'sha and Bragi are allll yours guys.
Breeze, I love the thought of these two wanting to start a pack but also being too worried about having puppies because of what happened. Win.
Stan, go ahead and start up with Modesto, definitely.
As for Bragi, I really only played him once so warp away; he's a transplant from another site and I basically only kept his name, appearance, and a tiny bit of info on his past intact. As far as his personality goes, he's very confident, charismatic, and pretty even tempered, but he can be a little bit arrogant, and he's definitely suppressing some hidden hurt about losing his pack and there's plenty of room for growth/change. He's been in the pack only briefly so far and has a tense relationship with Kangl, but a very good relationship with Imrit. No one but Kangl really has any beefs with him because he's overall pretty appealing.
He looka like this:

Minus the collar and half of his tail.

Oh and for Breeze, here's A'sha:

Though I believe she's minus a tail now.

[RandomWiktor]

So, Breeze. I had this delicious idea for traumatizing A'sha even further. I want Kovou to die, and I want him to die defending his pack because it is the ONLY suitable death for him. And since we have humans now.... maybe he could get shot defending her. Not sure of the context of why she'd be getting shot - going after someone's dog, too close to human campground, some kind of feral dog elimination project, or regular old hunters, etc. But, if you're up for her having chunks of a valued packmate sprayed all over her, I'm all for it too!

[Breeze]

Ahahahaha, sounds wonderful. I can see A'sha flipping out over someone's dog barking at her and going after it; she's kind of traumatized/neurotic after the puma incident. Having someone else die due to her overreaction could then result in her developing selective mutism and severe social anxiety! Yes ;D

[RandomWiktor]

So I am effing stupid. I meant to say ONUS would be joining the ghey wolf pack, not Larkas. I think Larkas is supposed to be paired with Jaara eventually or something, right? Man. I fail at my own characters. haha.

[RW]

Oh man. I re-read the thread and boy was I off haha, sorry about that. Shalimar is the tailless. But, it looks like Breeze has used A'sha's unharmedness to a great advantage, right on! Also, apparently Hu-Rhiw didn't get mauled. He had previously been mauled. I think in light of that, I'll make his mutism involuntary but psychological - a brand of sorrow and trauma driven insanity. I also see he had some spinal damage at some point, and while I left it in such a way that swelling caused most of the problem, I think I'll leave his tail and one hind leg not quite perfectly functional. I imagine this would occasionally cause him to botch up hunting efforts via tripping and such, which might give him all the more reason to feel like he just doesn't have a place in the pack. I'm putting him at deliriously ashamed, frustrated, and guilty that he couldn't defend Skoggi and the Pups. Huzzah for the psychologically ruined pack. haha.

Be on later, I have enrollment completion for a stupid amount of time today. Bleh.

[RandomWiktor]

Hmm so I was thinking about how much I hate playing my own mates and was wondering... would ze Stan be open to maybe this plot going the other way and Imrit winds up with Bragi ultimately? I think it would be hilarious of Kangl, through competing with Bragi, suddenly realizes what an ass he's been and puts fourth a real effort. An effor in vain because he missed the boat. And I'm thinking instead of moping about this he'll realize that moping has never gotten him anywhere but in more trouble, so he'll perhaps snap out of it and who knows, maybe even find a mate if anyone is up for the task.
You likey?

[Stan]

Ooh, sounds good to me. And, man, do I ever feel perceptive about not knowing Kangl and Imrit weren't mates *snort* I'll just pretend Bragi misperceived. This at least gives me an excuse for why he hasn't yet seriously put his mind to pursuing Imrit; I can't wait to RP the moment where he figures it all out, haha.

[RandomWiktor]

Win. I'm all psyched about all of this by the way. haha.

[Breeze]

I totally didn't even notice that the Bragi post wasn't by RW until I thought RW wouldn't post just him, LOL. Amazing post, Stan.

Also, the plot whore in me totally wants to offer Azme as Kangl's potential mate. Because, I don't know, it'd be hilarious?
