EXAMPLE JOINING: In Character

Notes

Though at this point it seems certain that Chikkun will be accepted to the pack, it is important to remain patient. You are not permitted to post anywhere but your joining thread until the joining thread has been completed (signified by the posting of the official welcoming message). Joining threads generally take between three days and a week and a half; if you feel you are waiting an extremely long time, feel free to contact your leaders or a member of the staff via Private Message. Please note that the initial wolf who greets your character may not necessarily be a leader or someone who is able to accept your character to the pack; scout ranks are common in many of the packs, and thus you can sometimes expect to see one of these lower-ranked wolves before the alpha. If this is the case, at some point the scout wolf would then call for a leader of the pack to come and officially accept your character. You will be asked to edit your first post and place "leader needed" in the topic title or description, as this calls the leader's attention to the thread.

In addition to his mate and sons, there were several other wolves of the pack, a veritable troupe of canines to keep the year's litter fat and happy. Even so, Azazel was not an unkind wolf, and he looked upon this Chikkun with a kind of understanding. Not everyone could become the alpha of his father's pack; it had been Azazel's birthright as the oldest and the strongest, and so when his father had passed, the pack had become Azazel's. His sons would continue this tradition, maybe until time ceased to be. It did not truly matter on the grand scheme if Chikkun was allowed entrance to the pack, though maybe by some rare chance Chikkun himself would become the alpha of Azazel's ancestral homeland.

"Fishing is a good thing. We have many rivers and no expert fisherman," Azazel exclaimed. He was quite glad to find this -- he himself had eaten fish on a few rare occasions, when someone had found a few of them trapped in a pool or otherwise captured them by some similarly far-fetched luck. "You seem to be a fine wolf in good condition, Chikkun. I must ask you one more question -- why did you leave the pack you called home?" Azazel knew this could potentially be a tricky question, but it was one that he required an answer to nonetheless; if Chikkun had left his last pack on less than stellar terms, such a thing needed to be said.
