Rise of the Wolf: Fimbulwinter Story For centuries, man has lived among another: the lupinal. They naturally appear as a large wolf, but can take on a human form at will and have the personality and intelligence of humans. Although the superstitious often consider these creatures to be werewolves, in actuality they are their own unique species, closely related to both humans and wolves (this has caused some scientists to believe they are a subgenus of both geneses Canis and Homo). Fearing their reactions, the lupinal have kept their true nature hidden from the humans, blending into society over the course of history. However, times are changing. The climate has taken a turn for the worst, and the Earth has plunged into a new Ice Age. Over the course of a few decades, global temperatures have dropped almost 30 degrees, causing the size of the polar ice caps to grow over double their original size and cause most of the earth to become tundra and wiping out many species of animals. The lupinal, being half wolf and as such well suited to cooler environments, were not affected too much, but many humans died as the temperature fell. Today, much of humanity has migrated to the equator, which now has a much milder climate. At the same time a small group of radical lupinal have appeared, believing that the Wolves are superior to humans and that they were meant to be the dominant species of this new world. To demonstrate their superiority, they slaughtered hundreds of humans in several cities, centered on North America. The human’s response was swift and decisive: anyone found to be a lupinal would be executed on the spot. Soon, scientists discovered several genes that differed between humans and lupinals, and developed ways for people to tell the difference (for instance, the shape of the pupils and irises in lupinals are different from those of a human). In the immediate aftermath, many lupinals were killed, as well as normal wolves, out of fear that a lupinal might attempt to hide among them. Now, 50 yeas after the global cool down, the lupinals are all but extinct, mostly hiding in the colder regions of the world, their population numbering in the low thousands. Wolves have all but vanished, causing many to believe they are extinct. Although some have begun to forget about the lupinals once again, there are still many who are actively searching for them, some even braving the cold in order to wipe them off the face of the Earth. These zealots have become extremely dangerous of late, as they have procured military arms and equipment from governments around the world who wish for the world to return to normal. Many lupinals have taken up arms to defend their homes, leading to small skirmishes and conflicts across the globe. Will the lupinals survive? Only time will tell… Starting Information Date: Mid May Location: Richmond, Virginia City Information: Left in ruins after a major skirmish 10 years ago, the city has become a safe haven for many lupinals. Though much of the city is now made up of young adults (almost 60% of the population is under 20; as many adults died defending their home), they have created a somewhat organized government, primarily for the purpose of defending the city from marauders. There are several humans living in the city as well, believing that their two species can still live in harmony. However, as human activity picks up as summer approaches, the city has taken on an air of tension, as there have been reports of armed scouts in the vicinity. Temperature Range (High-Low): 51-29°F Rules 1. No OCC, clear it up through PM if you would, unless it's something like g2g. 2. No flaming 3. No spamming 4.

Name: Minoru Age: 19 Gender: Male Species: Lupine Personality: Minoru is a "lone wolf". He is very sarcastic, rude, and quick to anger, which causes problems a lot of the time. He tends to treat those younger than him with more kindness than those who are older. His older brother was killed during the skirmish ten years ago, when he was 9. He has a bitter attitude than both humans and Lupines...and because of this, at times he feels he's better than both. Equipment: Minoru carries a pocketknife with him at all times, as well as a watch. Appearance: In his human form, Minoru is a somewhat muscular, attractive man, save for his personality. He rests at slightly higher than 6' tall, and has messy, dark brown hair. His eyes a deep green. He often wears dark colors, such as black leather pants and a black leather jacket. His t-shirt is always white, however. He has a scar on his face. In his wolf form, he has dark brown fur, save for his legs and muzzle which are black. The scar is visible in his wolf form as well. Bio: His brother and father were killed during the skirmish ten years ago, when he was 9. He has a 9 year-old sister who he cares for deeply, as well as his mother. He treats most others with disrespect, save for the younger ones, and his mother is too ashamed of him to say anything about it. He often gets into fights, and as such, he has a horizontal scar running across his nose and beneath both eyes. |

((Thanks; I got sidetracked. *Tosses cat off the keyboard*)) Name: Jacob Age: 17 Gender: Male Species: Lupinal Personality: Very outgoing, but knows when to shut up. Among a group of friends, he can talk for hours on ends. He's very kind, and will help out anyone in need, whether he be human or Lupine. He's very protective and will defent his friends until the end. Equipment: Flute, a pair of reverse daggers (very much like tonfas), and a very resilient rifle (Used mainly for hunting) Appearance: Human Form: Medium-length shaggy black hair, grey-brown eyes, a scar running from just below his left eye to his jaw. Pale skin (He doesn't get much sun 'cause of the cold) and a slender build. He usually wears either artic or standard digital camoflage cargo pants (well insulated to stave off the cold), a thick Navy Blue jacket (or a frost-blue w/black jacket when he's out hunting in the winter) over a back t-shirt, a black half-mask (only covers the lower part of his head), and a black beanie (usually covered by the jacket's hood). Wolf Form: mostly dark grey, but with a little ruddy red coloring on his underbelly. He has the same eye color as his human form. Bio: His parents were killed in the skirmish 10 years ago. Since then, he has tried to become an avid defender of the city in order to hide his insecurity due to being orphaned. (I'll add more as the RP progresses) |

Jacob leaned against the a support beam, looking out over the field of rubble that was once a flourishing suburb. Tody it was hardly recognisable, a field of debris with a 10 foot wall on the city side. After the battle 10 years ago, rather than dumping all the junk and debris in one area, they spread it out along the perimiter of the city, even destroying outlying buildings so they could form a tight ring of defences around the inhabited zone. For about a mile or so in every direction from the zone was a field of rubble. This rubble served a dual purpose: it makes it hard to approach the city on foot or even in a light, untreaded vehicle, and it also allows the Lupinal defenders to take their enemies by suprise by ambushing them from the bombed-out buildings. What Jacob was standing in at the moment was the South Lookout Tower, which rises 20 feet out of the debris field. Of the many gruard posts, this is the most important and is always manned, as it keeps watch over the area closest to the realm of man. Sighing, he checked in with Headquarters on his mike: no sign of any human activity. He picked up his binoculars again, knowing that he will be relieved by another guard within the hour. ((In case anyone was wondering, this takes place in the near future.)) |

Amadeus stepped outside his house, his long coat rippling in the light wind. He breathed in the cold air, and sighed. He stood there, gazing into the distance for quite some time, before starting off for town. After several minutes of walking, he had reached the outlying rubble and slowly weaved his way through it. It was a tedious path, and Amadeus was reminded of why he so rarely came to town. He stopped and leaned against the bombed-out wreckage of a Jeep to rest. |

"Yo!" Having climbed the tower, Minoru joined Jacob on the tower. He put his arm around him. "Anything exciting happen today, pup?" He yawned, scratching the inside of his mouth. It wasn't even noon, and Minoru was already dirty and beaten. |

Jacob looked up from the binocs with a look of mild annoyance. I'm 17 now, He thought to himself. When are the others going to stop trating me like the runt of the litter? Aloud, he replied. "Yeah, right. I haven't seen any sign of anything but the elk. I just hope they stay around long enough for me to catch 'em; Some of them are looking pretty good." He looked over near the trapdoor leading down, to make sure his rifle was still there. He'd go out there as soon as his shift ends. |

Minoru laughed, messing with Jacob's hair. "Maybe I'll just go get some of those elk myself, eh?" He smirked. "Or go chase 'em so there's nothin' left." |

"Oh come on!" Jacob moaned. "I saw the elk first! there's no way I'm letting you get them! Besides, that herd would make a great food source of the city; we're running low on food from the winter and we can't exactly plant crops outside the greenhouses." He checked the small watch in his communicator (It's like a PDA; everyone on the city guard has one). "Where's that other guard?" ((UFO, could you reduce the water keg? It'd be to heavy, plus it'd freeze due to metal's properties)) |

Grinning toothily, Minoru began to climb down the tower. "I'll save one for you, if you're lucky." He laughed and headed out towards the fields, where he changed into his wolf form; a wolf as brown as the mud, with a black muzzle and paws. He began to chase after the Elk, though after spending a day fighting with people on the streets, all he managed to do was chase most of them away from the city. |

As Minoru chased the elk around one passed by Abyss' den, he lunged out at the elk's neck and snapped it with one blow, He then drug it back into his den. |

Deciding that he should get a move on, Amadeus moves on towards town. He was soon near the foot of the watch tower where Jacob was on guard duty. |
