Welcome to the first-ever Spring Festival on A Falling Star! We are hosting a multitude of events over the course of the next month to finish off Spring and bring us into Summer. Contests, drawings, races, you name it - we’ve got it! We are starting off the event with the introduction of our first ever site-wide plot - Omen in the Sky. Each of the Kingdom’s Corvidae have been given a message from the Kingdom of Stars - the Kingdoms must bring about peace or face certain doom, but the War has been raging for generations. Will the Corvidae be able to talk sense into their Alphas, or will the Kingdoms have to face the doom that the Stars predict alone. We can’t wait to find out! Below is a list of just a few of the bonuses and events that we will be having over the course of the next month.

We are a fantasy wolf roleplay centered around three warring Kingdoms and the wolves that call them home. The wolf's ancestors; the Kingdom of Stars, are directly linked to the living wolves. They give Alphas the strength to lead for moons past what would have been their prime, and the Corvidae the ability to heal their fellow packmates through prayer. We are semi-literate, only requiring 150 words per post at a minimum! Please check out our Laws of the Land board for more information, and join us on DISCORD to get to know us better!

3.15.2019 - The flowers are blooming, and the prey is running plentiful. Afternoon showers are a frequent occurance across the land, and many newborns are being welcomed into the world after a particularly harsh winter. Major storms seem to be holding back until the Summer, yet the river still runs swiftly.
plot updates
3.22.2019 - The Corvidae for the Kingdom of Astralridge passed away without a Greenhorn to take his place. How will they cope?
A scarred, brown wolf with a graying face and orange eyes.

Rush is not, despite the stories the Boneweavers tell about him, a particularly large wolf. He is of average size and might even veer towards being on the lower end of the scale in terms of weight or bulk. Like many of his Kingdom, he is more sinew and bone than he is muscle and overpowered limbs. He is not to be underestimated, however. His prowess in battle is carried in the form of the many scars that cross his flanks and face, particularly around the muzzle and throat due to challenges to his leadership. The top of his muzzle has a dull spot towards the nose from an old injury where fur will never grow again, just one of his many trophies of hard-earned leadership.
His fur itself is not quite as thick as some of the Kingdoms at higher altitudes, yet suits him well in the summery valley even during cold spells. Unremarkable in color, his undercoat is a mix of red and brown while the overcoat is a dark brown bordering on black. Though his paws and tail tip are darker (closer to black), his face and muzzle have started turning gray and white these past few moons, and his coat itself will soon follow as his months of experience climb higher.
His eyes, shrewd and bright despite advanced age, are an intense orange.

Protective ― Wily ― Cantankerous
Never known as a kind and overly caring wolf, Rush does have one trait that defines him above others - His protectiveness for those who are under his care. While impatient and sometimes dismissive with those who do not call him leader, he is a different wolf among his own kind. He is loyal to the end to those of Riverbloom and will defend even the most silver-tongued law breakers of them against the other Kingdoms, strictly out of duty. He may punish them afterwards, of course, but on his own terms. He will not allow another wolf from one of their rival packs to lay a paw on any of his should he have a say in it. To him, the laws come second to his pack member's lives, even if that could be considered against everything the Kingdom of Stars stands for.
One of the most dangerous traits that Rush carries is his wily nature. He is clever and knows it, and isn't against using underhanded methods to get his way (especially if it is in support of his pack). He sees the ways of the wolves as flexible and will bend the rules if it suits their needs. While not entirely disloyal to the Kingdom of the Stars, he places much less faith in them and more in his own pack, which enables this behavior to an extreme.
What he is perhaps known best for outside of his own realm is his natural tendency to be quite cantankerous. Gruff and surly, he doesn't hide the fact that he scorns the reputations the other Kingdoms carry. His age hasn't helped this; as the eldest of the leaders, he has seen much over his moons of experience to support his skeptical outlook. So in his dealings with Astralridge and Sacredwood, he is much more inclined to be disagreeable and argue for the sake of arguing. But this is not to be taken for weakness or ignorance; he is much too wise for that, and simply believes that emotional walls can be as much of a tool as any charming attitude.
→ history ←
Pup As one of three pups, there didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary with Rush. The eldest of his siblings, he was much like any other his age: playful, curious, and carrying a tendency to get into more trouble than he should probably be in. Still, even at that young age, it seemed that Riverbloom's tendency to compete would come to light, and it wasn't long before the litter would find themselves scuffling for a pecking order. Despite being smaller than some of the others around their age, Rush soon proved that you didn't always need much more than smarts (and perhaps some...unorthodox methods) to outdo brute strength. "Defeating" pup after pup in play fights, it was nearly time to move onto a diet of training rather than stories when Rush caught the eye of then Alpha, a wolf by the name of Cliff.
Greenhorn When it was announced that Cliff would be taking Rush under his wing as the next Alpha in training, there was some grumbling. After all, though most were built for speed and running, why should such a scrappy fighter hold such a coveted spot? But there was something that Cliff had seen in the young pup's spirit, and he yearned to feed it. Training was brutal; sessions from sun up to sun down were common, and some of the marks he still carries to this day were earned in those days. But Rush was determined to prove himself worthy and, fighting tooth and nail, snarled his way to glory. While he soon gained the support of his packmates and the steady friendship/companionship of his brother Creek, there were still some who disagreed with his methods and beliefs. This didn't come to a head, however, until he and his siblings aged into Guardians.
Guardian As he was not yet Alpha, Rush served as an Alpha under the now aged Cliff. Knowing that soon the leader would either fall in battle or retire, he stayed close to his mentor. The pair eventually would become friends and often discuss the future of the Kingdom as well as their rivals, the duties of Alpha slowly splitting between them as Cliff became too stiff and tired to handle some responsibilities. It didn't matter to Rush who had, as Cliff had proven himself worthy time and time again against their foes, pledged his support long ago. He would be by his alpha's side as often as he could be. Not often enough, however; an encounter with a mountain lion, driven by the cold from the mountains into the valley, left Cliff (who had been in a patrol inspecting the borders) with devastating injuries.
Though he survived the encounter, Cliff succumbed to his wounds and Rush, heart heavy with grief, ascended to Alpha before the next moonrise.
Alpha For several seasons, Rush has held the highest rank in Riverbloom. It has not been without its challenges; prey-slim winters and constant threats from the other Kingdoms have taken their toll on the valley pack. However, he has become a formidable leader with considerable experience...though perhaps not all is well, if rumors among some (such as his sister Flurry's jealousy) are to be believed...
