No fancy coding yet, I'm about to head out but I wanted to put down some words for my boy before I forgot. I got back from my errands and this still isn't finished yet lol go me
Anyway I just had a couple of ideas for Dionysus. He's about four years old and probably been a loner for the most recent year or so of that time? I haven't really figured out exactly why he isn't in a pack at the moment yet, but I was thinking he either had an altercation with his previous pack (apparently past-me decided he was born in Shore Woods, but idk why I picked that lol) or left for other reasons. Thing is he's a pretty easygoing, agreeable guy so I don't really know why he would have done either such thing, unless he was gonna start a new pack, but I don't see him doing that without a partner or a friend - he's not really the type for leading alone, doesn't have the drive for it.
Aaaanyway (again lol), I was thinking of any (or several) of the following:
i. An old friend that he hasn't seen in a long time, maybe someone from the pack he left. Maybe they were friends as pups and grew apart for some silly reason as childhood friends sometimes do. It would be cool to hash out some kind of backstory so then they can run into each other and be all "you're very familiar didn't I know you from somewhere" or something, I dunno. I just kinda wanted a new take on the usual wolf-meets-wolf awkward newfriends threads. :'D
ii.Kind of playing off one of the reasons I mentioned earlier for him leaving his old pack - maybe him and a good friend or partner had plans to strike out on their own, whether to start a pack or just live in a small group? I kind of want to save this for later though considering he doesn't actually have any good friends (or friends at all, HUEH) at the moment, but this could definitely be a thing to work up to. I hear Akeli Lake is pleasant this time of the year. And all year round really.
- Ideally for this one the other party would need to be at least a little more serious than Dionysus, especially if they ended up officially forming a pack. He's great in wingman/second-in-command type deals and would do better either supporting a leader or splitting equal responsibilities with someone with a stronger sense of direction and structure. Obviously they'd have to get along well though, otherwise I don't think they'd make the decision to go it alone at all. Also applies to a lesser degree if they end up just chillin' as a pair or forming some rogue band of misfits instead lol. Sssshhhh
iii. If you need pack members we can talk about it! Of course, if he ends up joining a pack this will cancel out idea ii. I'm getting more and more attached to idea ii but I know we've got a lot of empty packs that need members so ya know, anything's good. I might end up making more characters to fill up existing packs as well.
iv. Also pretty much open for friends/romantic interests (either gender) in general, if any of the above ideas aren't your style. I'm totally up for throwing more ideas around!
I've textwalled too much as it is so I'm gonna end this here for now lol before I get even more carried away. I'll just edit this post for plotting with future characters. :^)

Back with some vague plot things for Halcyon. :3 These won't be as thought-out as Dimi's because I don't really know how I want to play Hal yet, I guess.
Halcyon Vanatore - salty old loner getting a little bit on in years, I kind of liken him in my mind to a veteran in his thirties that received an honourable discharge for losing the use of his left eye lol even though it definitely didn't happen quite that way. He basically doesn't like anything and doesn't like talking about it either, so he's great at parties. I'd say he's been a loner since he was two or three? He has a lot of scars, so I was thinking he probably had a big fight with someone important in his previous pack that either ended with someone dying or getting otherwise grievously injured. Probably this is the fight that gives him the blind eye.
Update: Hal now has a backstory that can be read here in my character log!
Stuff for Hal:
-It'd probably be hard to get a love interest going for him considering how closed off and crabby he is right now but I think it would be nice to have someone break through his crust a little lol and not always act all awkward about his blind eye for once. It's blind, not raw.
- Enemies would be pretty fun. :^) Not really someone who'd run him into the ground right off the bat but it would be cool to see another wolf get him riled up enough to actually open his mouth and offer some choice insults. At this point he's very very wary of letting himself lose his temper but he definitely has one and getting him to let that loose would probably be very messy.
- Friends?? I think he'd tolerate the presence of most wolves the way a mountain tolerates the presence of rocks. He could use some people to count on though, as well as to share his loyalty with. It's been quite a while since he's had to think of the welfare of another wolf besides his own.
-I don't know if he'd do too well in a pack considering he's a fucking sociopath at the moment but if you think you want him please take him!!! lol Currently trying his best to get accepted into the Sharktooth Island pack :3

So I'm back again with my last character for the foreseeable future! lol god help me
Aria Riveni - she's smart and knows how to use her looks to her advantage, but at the same time often finds herself above juvenile scheming and is often found quoting the saying "If you want it done right do it yourself". She doesn't stick around many wolves for long, since she isn't often interested in expending the effort taken to develop lasting friendships and any other use she might have for them is usually negated by her I'll-do-it-myself mindset. Probably the best way to befriend her is either be able to do something she can't, or just be a good conversational partner and really really persistent. As a friend Aria's got some hidden depths - she's quite creative and has a dry, slightly sarcastic sense of humor. I'm thinking she was the daughter of two loners who were very capable and more than happy to survive on their own, hence her self-sufficient and slightly haughty attitude.
Stuff for Aria:
- I feel like something that would work for her relationship-wise is a wolf who can prove to her that relying on and trusting another person can be mutually beneficial and rewarding. Though she may act as if the constant attention annoys her, it is what it is - an act. She admires perseverance and maturity, but isn't interested in wolves who dream big but can't live up to their promises. I think someone calm who isn't initially swayed by her pretty appearance, someone who can can put up with her occasional sass and not make a big deal about it would be really good for her, and I feel like though she's not your textbook monogamist by any reach of the imagination she would willingly settle down with someone who can change her mind. In case you haven't noticed I'm a big fan of making my characters change their minds LOL
- Friends-wise like I mentioned above, she finds pleasantries and casual conversation entertaining until the point where an individual becomes old news, and then she's quite content to move on. She would definitely stick around longer with wolves that keep themselves relevant and prove themselves her equals.
- At the moment I don't think she'd join a pack on her own, but she would probably agree to join up with a friend.
- On the less friendly side of things, Aria doesn't really harbor any hatred as a rule - most disagreements are beneath her, she'd rather say "It's on you then" and disengage than continue to pursue the issue. But I think someone who would really get on her nerves is someone who doesn't respect her capabilities :^) Like, someone who belittles what she's able to achieve on her own. She prides herself on being very competent, so I bet that would get her all riled up.
