Profile or three writing examples:

Quote:Once again he was five months old and sitting attentively whilst Jazper explained patiently about how to correctly swing a sword and use a shield to fight off an attacker's advancing blows. He was focused almost totally on the collie with a strange intensiveness that maybe she would find uncomfortable, he would have stopped it had he actually realised what he was doing. He copied her as she moved, following her advice and direction into the correct stance. The male's tail was held curved in the air behind him as he held his body rigid with the weight resting on his leading foot as directed.

He had never held his body in this way before and it felt bizarre, he was used to the concept of having one foot placed backwards for more balance but never had he put so much weight upon one leg before, it was almost painful, Lorenzo was a very heavy man and if he fell upon Neela could easily crush her spine or ribs, Tony would almost certainly hate him if he destroyed his bride to be. He watched as she demonstrated the kick upon the punching bag and then slower upon himself, showing where the lef was supposed to land and where it should turn.

Then it was his turn to practice this maneuver and he again fell into the stance, feeling the straight in his leading legs top muscles, eager to start Lorenzo started to move himself into the kick just like Neela had shown him. But the male was unused to being in such a position that coupled with a slightly off center of balance resulted in him instead of completing the kick instead overbalancing and ending up on his behind in the grass.

"Bugger."

Quote:It was a jovial tinged atmosphere inside the Great Hall and despite himself Lorenzo was enjoying it. The music was pleasant to the ears and the background of chattering voices was oddly soothing although on a normal day it probably would have irritated Lorenzo tonight he didn't mind, he was soft hearted and gentle minded and it showed in his manner and approach. But as he scoured the crowds he found the one creature he had been looking for and made his way swiftly towards her. Social situations were not normally her forte and she preferred to stay concealed in the shadows.

He felt her heat and smelled her scent as she stepped close to him, meeting his massive form and her hand drifted to his shoulder, the touch light and yet still possessive. The touch moved down his arm and grasped at his hand, the petite fingers curling ever so perfectly inside of his much larger paw. His own hand closed, encasing hers within and he squeezed it lightly. She wanted to dance, of course she did, and how could he refuse when she stood before him looking so lovely and so free.

He let himself be pulled along towards the other dancing couples, he had only the slightest of hesitations and most were centered on her reaction to his nearness. The hand he gripped on slid down and her entwined their fingers, moving his other hand to encircle her and rest against her lower back, pulling her close so their bodies were almost touching, if she wanted she could cover the last inch herself.

Views: 89  Lorenzo felt as though he would be physically sick as he looked over his impressive father and lovely girlfriend. The smiles they lavished upon him did little to quell the stirring boiling feeling in his stomach and he held himself with careful stillness with ears pulled forwards and his tail laying against his leg as Jazper spoke. He lowered himself to his knees stiffly before Jazper, still with his heart in his throat. This was the one event he had been dreaming of for months, since before he had even met Juliet. It put him above Aro and Tony, he was first to achieve this honor and now he would be first in Jazper's eyes for a short while. The youngest Knight male had never wanted to push his other siblings out of the light but to garner the portion of his father's time and attention that he saw as his own.

The blade that Jazper pulled out was magnificant and sleek looking, it was not his father's normal sword but Enzo didn't know this ceremony worked, for all he knew this was the ceremonies official sword for appointing him, Enzo would have never guessed in his lifetime that it would be for him. He blinked slowly at Jazper's revelation of a secret being kept, he held his tongue and kept a cap on his curiosity, his father would explain all to him in due time. And he did, as the explanation went on Lorenzo could feel his heart swelling with happiness, true happiness akin to what he felt with Juliet. He had proven himself worthy through his actions, and Jazper was proud of him. He nodded his head again slowly, of course Lorenzo was not as religious as Jazper but he still believed, in Fenris the god and he did thank the sun god for bringing Juliet to him.

The words drifted by him and each struck him in its own way, left its own impact and mark upon his soul. Ever since he had been a child, a stupid young boy with only his little sister to protect, as he had grown his circle of responsibility had grown too, as his growing body had swiftly dwarfed Tony, Aro and even Jazper, he had the power, the strength and the skill so was it not his most important duty, the role that came above everything else. His childhood was a rapidly shrinking time in his past, and long ago had his chance to be young and stupid passed.

He knew the consequences should be fail in his role, to be honest if he did ever break it Jazper might not have to exile him for he would exile himself. It required no thought on his part at the moment, he had spent too long thinking about it and deciding that this was his right path.

"Yes Sole. I ahm readhy." The Knight boy raised his head, focusing on the Oath he would now recite,

"I Lorenzo promise to mah Sole an' Luna tah serve them with absolute loyalty. Ah will face the world without fear of mah enemies or tha darkness. Be brave and love all others so that they may love mahself. Ah will speak the truth always, even if it means death. Protect the helpless and do no evil. This is mah oath"

Welcome to 'Souls!

Congratulations! You've been accepted into the craziest bunch of roleplayers on the vast Internet! We encourage you to keep checking out our information; you can find a wealth of it on the RP Guide. Don't feel pressured to read it all at once -- the guide is a huge resource and is meant to be used as a reference.

If You've Joined the Game As a...
  • ... Loner, do begin considering which of the packs you'd like to join. Survival as a Loner is less realistic -- wolves and other canines are generally social creatures, preferring to live in a pack structure!
  • ... IC pack joiner, you can now begin posting -- you may start your IC pack joining thread whenever you're ready. Make sure you check the pack information to see if the leadership requires anything extra from you!
  • ... OOC pack joiner, the leader still has to respond here before you can start roleplaying -- don't worry, though; if you're rejected from the pack you'll be titled as a Loner, and you're free to pursue other packs or the same one later.
Post-Joining Process
Mandatory:
  • Make an In Character post within five days. Post a thread request to get started, or consider starting or replying to an open thread.
  • Please let us know in the Absentee Thread if you plan to be absent for more than four days.
  • Keep reading! While there's only a minimum of three topics you have to read to join the game, we provide a wealth of information for a reason -- we expect players to read and reference this material often while they roleplay at 'Souls.
Preferred:
  • If you're leaving us, please try to let us know in the Player Updates forum. There is no penalty for leaving; you're free to re-join at any time later.
Still Need a Bit of Help?

Post any questions you may have in the Questions and Help forum. Check the FAQ first, though! The Mentors can assist you with writing, roleplaying, and understanding 'Souls concepts. Failing all else, contact a staff member.

If you need help getting adjusted to your pack, you should talk to your pack leader! They can help you to understand the pack's rank system and how to get a better rank, as well as direct you to plots, potential thread partners, and active members of the pack who may be interested in engaging you.
