Role Playing Information

Wolf Grounds is a wolf role playing guild. The members create a wolf related character of their choice and role play it in the current storyline available to them. (The storyline constantly changes due to active members). Many characters will be role played at the same time beacause we have many members. That means that several characters can meet up, have a confrontation, became allies, talk, hang out or make enemies with each other. Each character can impact the story depending on how they handle the situations of the current plot in the story that is going on at that time.

Role Play Areas Information
Wolf Grounds (A large area of grassland largely populated by wolves.)
The Forest (A large area full of tall grassland with trees, plants, bushes, swamps, small hills and common animals of all sorts.)
The Mountains (A large area of rough, rocky, high altitude land with trees, large rocks, cliffs, hills and limited animals.)
Mystical Black Rock Palace (A huge luxurious palace built from mystical black rocks. It is protected by a magic barrier that only allows humans to enter; the only nonhumans who are capable of entering are its creator, his servants and his relatives. This palace is full of high quality rich service, banquets, traditional parties and much more.)-[Note: While in the Mystical Black Rock Palace, there is a barrier that prevents any being from entering that is not in a human form. If you are not in a human form, you are incapable of entering that palace unless the barrier is down. Running is also forbidden while inside the palace and you may be potentially putting your character in danger if you disobey any of the palace rules while inside of it. The only nonhuman beings that may enter the palace are its owner, Dark Lord Zero and the guardian of the palace, Lucifer, the demonic black lion.]
The Lake (A large area of water surrounded by land. This large area of fresh water is filled with fish, small turtles, frogs, marine insects and other members of the ecosystem. The lake has a large rock beside its edge, on its east side. The large rock is relatively flat on the top. Wolves and other animals often use this large flat rock beside the lake to dive into the water or bask in the the sunshine of the sun.)
The Valley (A large area of land of rocky hills, trees, grassland and a waterfall whose water travels throughout the valley.)
Human Village (A village that was once inhabited by humans. After the villagers were attacked by what seemed to them as a wolf demon, most of them were slaughtered in the attack and seldom survived.)
Elf Village (A village inhabited by elves)
Orc Village (A village inhabited by orcs)
Demon Village (A village inhabited by demons)
Enchanted Forest (A forest inhabited by rare creatures, usually the ones that are rumored to exist. The animals occupying this area tend to be magical and are known to be friendly, yet very fearful.)
Cursed Forest (A forest inhabited by animals created by curses. These animals are usually possessed, crazed or evil. The animals occupying this area tend to be vicious, violent and very aggressive.)
The Wastelands (A desolate and empty region, where black cliffs tower over an empty landscape. Virtually devoid of life, what few creatures survive there are fierce and cunning predators. Only the skilled or the extremely lucky can survive there long.)

Rank Descriptions

Your leadership qualities make you admirable and a role model, leading up to other wolves looking for you to receive advice. When it comes to making an important decisions, it will be up to you to help make the decision as with the rest of the leadership ranking wolves.)

Protectors and Protectors in Training (You protect the innocent and you guard those who are in need of protection. You are willing to sacrifice your life in order to save the lives of those around you.)

Magical Healers (You magically heal those who have been injured or those who are in great need of healing.)

Standard Healers (You heal those who have been injured or those who are in great need of healing, but you do not heal them with magic like a magical healer. You are more traditional and prefer to heal those who are injured using disinfectants, tools, herbs and bandages.)

Thieves (You are attracted to possessions that aren't yours. You desire them but aren't always willing to earn them fairly. Your stealth-like nature allows you to be quick, mobile, sneaky and above all, silent while in movement. Your specialty to reaching places without being noticed and stealing possessions of your desire.)

Food Gatherers (You gather food for yourself, your family, or others who are in need of something to eat.)

Wolf Hunters (You hunt for food for yourself using the skills you have personal obtained training and hunting alone. You may find yourself hunting for others when they are in need of food. Wolf hunters are good at hunting, especially when it comes to hunting down wolves. They are also good at preparing food and surviving in a variety of environments. You may hunt wolves because you dislike them or maybe you might have had a traumatic experience with them during your childhood.)

Pupsitters (You take care of and look after the wolf cubs/pups.)

Normals (You are an average type of person, but you are capable of choosing or altering your path. You?re quick to adapt but prefer to just be yourself and do as you desire without pressure of your peers and your environment.)

Loners (You tend to spend a lot of your time alone. You isolate yourself from others for your own reasons. You like to do things and learn on your own.)

Pup Leaders (You are an adult's pup or child. You plan on choosing a rank or earning one when you get older. When necessary, if you are one of the higher pups, you will take charge and help them when necessary and maybe seek the leadership of an adult wolf when necessary.)

Being A Mate

If you have decided to become or seek out a mate, you have probably decided that you would like further companionship than just your friends. You are looking for a caring person who may love you and treat you with respect. When you are someone's mate, you will participate in an intimate relationship with another and may even create a family of your own with your mate. (Notice: Often times, people of similar ranks tend to become mates, but this is not always true. For example: You may be a beta female, but you may not be mates with the beta male. You may be mates with the person of your choice as long as they agree to form the relationship with you.)

Wolf Grounds Role Play Storyline Summary
In case people are absent for long periods of time or have not been able to role play it is possible to read a summary of the current events going on in the Wolf Grounds Role Play storyline, by viewing the thread entitled "Wolf Grounds RP Storyline Summary".

Information relating to the villagers inhabiting the villages:

Each village has a group of wolf hunters that want to eliminate the members of our wolf pack, simply because they have had bad instances with wolf attacks, stealing or scavenging. Not every person in each village wants to kill us.

Humans want to kill the wolves and hate the orcs, but are willing to align themselves with the elves. They fear orcs, lycans, vampires, demons and stone golems.

Orcs like wolves, because some of their clan have shamans that worship animals, which includes a wolf. Orcs dislike humans and elves and are willing to team up demons to eliminate humans and elves. But the orcs are a bit skeptical on whether or not it is safe to fight alongside with the stone golems.

Demons hate humans and elves, but like the orcs and the stone golems of the mountains. They are willing to align themselves with orcs and stone golems to conquer the humans and elves.

Elves like nature, animals and the humans. They are willing to team up with humans and nature to fight against demons and orcs. But some of the elves, very seldom of them, want to hunt down the wolves because of traumatic experiences they have had with them. Like the demons, they are willing to team up with stone golems to increase their power, but this will be very rare, because very seldom of them like to do this because demons do it.

Stone golems are one with nature like the elves. They prefer elven masters because demons are far more aggressive and too controlling. But elves rarely enslave them due to they like to be in peace with nature. Stone golems dislike demons and orcs and only team up with them against their will while enslaved. Stone golems rarely leave the mountains and seem to be the most passive among all the races so far because they aren't very smart, but they are huge in size and have tremedous strength, even more than demons and orcs.

Role Playing Tips: For those who haven't role played here before and need help understanding how to role play (there is only one role play thread, so I am going to teach you how to role play in a style where you can adapt to this one thread role playing guild)

When you role play, make sure to include information like your location, the thoughts of your characters and give hints to where you my be going. That way, we can have a sense of how to interact with your character. It's difficult to interact with a role player's character you don't know where they are, what they are doing, what they are saying or what they are thinking.

Example 1 (example of bad and hard to follow role playing):

Ice_queen_wolf165 may role play like this (her character will be named Idran:

*walks in* "Hi". <---now you see, we don't know which character she's role playing, because she didn't include the name. She also didn't include where she is. We would assume she is on Wolf Grounds, but we don't know where she is, honestly. We know she said "Hi", but we don't know who she said "Hi" to.

Example 2 (example of good and easy to follow role playing-We're going to make her choose a character to interact with (we'll select a character named, Sabre, among the role play characters that are active), so that we know who her character is talking to.):


Idran walks heavily onto Wolf Grounds, tired from his journey from the mountains. His life at with his last wolf pack was difficult and he looked forward to starting over again, hoping that his next pack would be better. He entered Wolf Grounds quietly, but fatigued. He struggled to walk, but managed to reach the center of Wolf Grounds, hoping to find the wolves of the pack. He finds a wolf whose fur consisted of different shades of blue and had short horns sprouting from his forehead. He approaches the wolf, Sabre, believing that he may be able to help him find the other members of the pack. "Hello, my name is Idran. Do you know where the rest of the wolves of the pack are? I just traveled from the mountains and am really tired. I need your help, finding the rest of the pack. Can you help me?"

From reading example 2, which was role played correctly, or in the style that you need to use here, you can get a super clear idea of who the wolf is, where he came from, what his plans are and why he behaves the way he does, all in one paragraph. I hope this helps some of you out, who are having troubles role playing here.
