Othala Pack (Official) (New Adoptables)

[Kiva]

Ok so within the next month, Kiva will be leaving Kairos with her daughter Sasha and will be starting her own roaming pack, as she can no longer take being anything less than the alpha she used to be. It will be a pretty relaxed pack based on Celtic ideals. Anyone who is interested or who has questions or comments can reply here or pm Kiva. This is what I have on the pack so far but it is still a rough draft.

~Celtic Pack~

"Pray to the moon when she is round
Luck with you will then abound
What you seek for shall be found
On the sea or on the ground."

Othala is a peaceful pack, one that  works to align themselves with Nature through ritual and symbol so that they may bring balance to their world. From listening to the songs of the wind, being thankful for the sun's glorious light, enjoying the feeling of smooth water around their coats, or praying to the moon, there is no part of nature they take for granted. They use the healing powers of herbs for their remedies as well. Othala believes that the older a wolf is,  the more wisdom they hold within so it is with respectful eyes that they look upon their elders. Above all however, they believe that outside of a few set rules, it is the old saying An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will that should be followed.

Othala has few rules that are set in stone however, those few rules are strictly enforced. Breaking a rule the first time will result in consultation with the alpha. The second and third time will be dealt with as seen fit by the Alpha. After the fourth time, you are either casted down to the lowest rank or expelled from the pack depending on the severity of your actions. With that said, these are the rules enforced within Othala:

1.) Fairly Take and Fairly Give- stealing is not an option in this pack. You earn what you get and if someone is need of help and you have the means to do so, you are expected to help. 

2.) Honor the Old Ones in Deed and Name- Elders and higher ranked wolves are to be respected. It is believed that the older you are, the more wisdom you bestow and the elder wolves are usually the ones sought out for advice. 

3.) Finding a mate and producing offspring is allowed with the alpha's permission, though the answer given will almost always be yes. When it comes time for the pack's pups, the pack as a whole is responsible for looking out for them. It is also to be made clear that while all pups will be treated fairly, the alpha's are still to be first in line to be taken care of. 

4.) Discipline is another important part of Othala. The higher ranked wolves will not demand much  but when they do, they are to be obeyed, especially when it is the alpha giving the orders. If an order is given by a wolf other than the alpha and you do not agree with it, you are to seek out the alpha and express your concerns so they can be taken care of. 

5.) An Ye Harm None, Do What Ye Will- With the basic rules of the pack laid out, Othala believes that the wolves within should be allowed to do as they please as long as they follow the rules and do not harm another. 

Spirits and the after life are another thing Othala strongly believes in. They know every living thing, from a tree to wolf, has a soul and that there are times when a soul is not ready to cross over. When that happens, they believe that the spirit will continue to roam the earth until they either accept their fate or finish what they set out to do. Once a spirit does cross over, Othala believes they are sent to the Summerland, a place where souls can regenerate before they reincarnate into a new body. As spirits are believed to be either good or bad, whenever a wolf is worried about an evil spirit, they can be seen doing something in sets of three. Normally, they will circle three times as they believe that to tread the Circle thrice about keeps unwelcomed spirits out. 

Another thing Othala believes in is divination. They believe divination is usually a trait of women and is passed in the female bloodline from mother to daughter though in rare circumstances, males may also be blessed with the gift. They believe it is a gift that allows certain wolves insight into the future. The visions seen and prophecies uttered by those with the gift, though often cryptic and filled with symbolism, are taken very seriously. Though there are several ways one might go about calling on their gift, the most common ways are through Dreams and through Scrying, or gazing into pools of water or flames of fire. Those blessed with the ability are held to much respect

Alright guys, here is the first of several Othala adoptables soon to come. With each adoptable comes a personal picture, an avatar, and a signature. If you are interested in an adoptable, message Both Kiva And Rain a personality And a rp example.

What started as a youthful friendship between these two Arctic girls blossomed into a beautiful romance once they both hit sexual maturity. However, because of their choice in mates, finding acceptance has not been an easy feat and that is exactly what drove them to Othala.

Wolf 1 (Taller): She is missing the tip of her ear from protecting her mate (details left up to adopter). She will be the pack's Shaman and she has also been gifted with the gift of divination. She is the more outgoing of the pair and is also the oldest and tallest at four years.
Names for the adopter to choose from:

-Freya - Freya is the norse Goddess of love, beauty, fertility, war, wealth, divination and magic.

-Eir – Norse Goddess of Healing and mercy.

Wolf 2: She will be one the pack's gatherers, working to help her mate in her various tasks. She is the more mellow out of the two and may at times come across as shy or skittish. She is also the younger of the two at three years of age.
Names for the adopter to chose from:

-Danu (Irish) – Celtic goddess with her name meaning“knowledge.”

-Brigid (Irish) – Celtic goddess with her name meaning "bright arrow.”

Yin and Yang are 2 year old Grey Wolf x Arctic wolf twins who were forced to live on their own by a situation that the adopters can come up with. They were forced to train and be in-tune with one another as much as possible to survive. One day they heard Kiva's howls and decided to join the pack, since they were tired of being on their own. After watching the two closely, Kiva decided to place them within the rank of hunters as together, they were a lethal weapon that could bring down any prey they found.

Yin (black),is calm, cool-minded and soft-spoken. She is graceful and delicate, but you should not let it fool you--she is extremely agile and fast on her feet. She is all about feelings and how everything she does affects her surroundings and the feelings of others. Reserved and introverted, she is usually the one that keeps Yang's thoughts in order when his temper gets out of control. She is sometimes seen as distant, but it is just that she is usually inside of her inner world. She loves the night and adores the moon, and her head is always up in the stars.

Yang (white), is intellectual, precise and logical, and does not rely much on feelings to get things done. However, he is very loyal to his sister and he is capable of doing anything for her. He is protective, fierce and sometimes acts before thinking things through. He is extroverted and hot-headed, usually not able to have the same patience his sister has. He admires his sister and he is extremely protective of her. Even if he is as impulsive as he sounds to be, he knows his place when he is in a pack, and will follow orders without caring about anything else. He is loyal and committed and will do anything for the greater good of the pack, as long as it does not cross his morals. He loves the day and loves taking sun baths and basking in the soft heat of the morning. He is also about 3 to 4 inches taller than his sister.
