News & Important Announcements:

November 20: The Anord have now finally decided on a course of action to solve their current issue. Perhaps too, they can figure out how to solve the strange weather berating the lands as well, making things difficult for all wolves, as the storm continues to rage on unchecked, winds tossing those around that attempt to use the air, and rains drenching all that choose to be out in the elements instead of in a warm, safe, den. The wolves of lightning will not be able to do this on their own, they will need to enlist the aid of others in their quests. Hopefully, they can forge their way through!
As well, you'll notice some minor changes being made here and there to the Website, specifically the Timeline on the World page, and the Seasons, wherein it specifies how the different seasons affect different elemental packlands. It is always a good idea to read and re-read the website as you continue on your merry journeys, for as things change and evolve, so too does some of our information! Finally, you'll notice that the "Adoptable Pre-Made Characters" Thread is undergoing construction. The finished project should make it easier to read and sort through, expect that amongst other things to be finished this coming weekend! ~ Cheryl
November 9: Just a quick FYI: I do keep track (and the board does as well) of ip addresses and can recognize emails that have been used prior when creating accounts. This is how I can tell if you have multiple accounts on the game. It is in your best interest then, if you are intending on playing a character, to register it yourself so that miscommunication is not had. (And yes, you can still ask me to register a character for you if you do not have an alternate email, that is kept track of manually) As well, due to people not understanding that we require you to state "other characters played here" on your application, it has now been edited into the Character Application Form for better clarification. Currently pending applications must edit this into their application before they can be accepted and it is thus required now on all future applications! Please help make sure our records are kept straight! Thanks! :) ~ Cheryl

Character Application Form
(please also remember to fill out your character account's profile on this board via your control panel!)

This form is to be filled out completely, and then posted as a new topic with your wolf's name as the subject in this forum.

The Basics:
Name of Wolf:
Age of Wolf:
(MUST be 8 months or over, ie. an ADULT unless previously discussed with administration, or adopting a character from the character adoptions / pre-made character thread!)
Element of Wolf:
(Specify one of the following: Anord, Crithean, Feolan, Spiorad, Tinean, Reioghan. Remember, if this is your first character on this game, you must be of either Crithean, Feolan, Spiorad or Tinean packs!)
Colors of Wolf:
(Must specify pelt color *and* eye color, read here for approved colors for your element!)
Parents/Brief Background:
(Please at minimum name your parents, a brief history, and whether said parents/relatives are alive or deceased. ALSO, if this is a character reactivation, you must include a short snippet about why your character "left" the forefront of the pack, where they've been, and why now that they are returning. This reason must be within Paragon's continuity and plots and may not include being displaced from your element.)

Character Development:
(Answers should be at least two sentences long, please!)
As a pup, when did you first start to learn of your element's charms/abilities?
What is the longest you have ever strayed away from your pack? (You may NOT have become displaced within your wolf's history.)
How does your pack's elemental focus play a part in your life?
Which charm does your wolf use the most and why?
How does your character embody their chosen element?
(FYI: there are no 'stereotypes' on Paragon, elements may have different virtues dependent upon the player!)
If your character could fulfill one Role in the pack, which would it be? (Keep in mind that an attempt will be made to "fit" your character to this Role in the pack. However, this is not a definite thing and you could be assigned another role in it's stead by the Luminary. So, you are welcome to state which Role you might be best suited for, but if there is lack of space in that Role within the pack, or perhaps the Luminary believes you could be good for another, you may not "get" your selection.)
If it were a world ruled solely by the Celestial of YOUR element; how would said world be?

Literacy Sample:
Writing Sample: Please provide either a role-playing sample concerning the character you have just created, or a writing sample of your created wolf's history. Said sample must be at least three paragraphs long, and contain proper grammar and punctuation. Please take your time. Keep in mind that role-playing samples from other games are not accepted!!

Multiple Characters:
Please State Other Characters Played Here: (If none, state "none")
