While I'm still in the middle of the brainstorm, I thought I would share with you guys my newest idea and possible role-play~
IGNUS FATUUS
meaning a deceptive goal or hope / a will-o'-the-wisp.
It is a fantasy wolf role-play, and has some elemental hints to it.
The setting is a floating island up in the sky, there are four packs (tribes) and the choice of being a loner. The packs are set in totally different environments: Costal Area, Mountainous/Plateau, Plains, and Tundra. Each holds a gene in their DNA that can unlock an element, Ignus holds fire, Terra holds earth, Aeris holds air, and Unda holds water. However, no one starts off with an element. There are certain markings a wolf can have, each a different color depending on the tribe. Any color eyes, however no other mutations like wings or horns. No clothing, but accessories might be sold at the shop.
How does one get on the island? No wolf knows. All memories from their life before they arrived are wiped except the remembrance of a faint pain or a bright light.
All the tribes know is that a wolf appears when a comet falls on the Cascade Plains. There, the new wolves are met by a will-o'-the-wisp. The color of it varies depending on the tribe the wolf's soul belongs. Red for Ignus, Green for Terra, Yellow for Aeris, and Blue for Unda.
How do elements come to play? As wolves post and role-play they will earn coins! Coins will unlock you the basic element and minimal control over it and only certain abilities. You get to upgrade that power afterwards and earner greater control over it and special abilities. For example, with Aeries wolves (wind), a wolf will only be able to control it loosely when they first buy it, however as they purchase more upgrades they will ultimately (maybe) be able to create a tornado.
There will be site-wide events that affect the tribes, and I'll think of a better plot line later on. Like, what their purpose is and what the wolves are searching for. I just thought I'd share this c:
There are "Alpha" or leader positions open, but I don't know exactly what the ranks will be named so I'm not willing to hand those out yet. But if you're interested in knowing more please reply to this. Any suggestions would be great too! I will be in search of staff but yet again I'm not willing to hand those out yet either c:

UPDATE:
If you would like to apply for a leader/chief position:
Ignus Leader: Jupiter (me)
Terra Leader: OPEN
Aeris Leader: OPEN
Unda Leader: OPEN
What you need to apply:
Character Name:
Character Description: With markings, try to keep them minor. For example, my character Jupiter only has red around her eyes.
Reasons why he/she would make a good leader:
RP example:
Leaders in all should have the best role-play on the site. They serve as role-models to upcoming members so grammar and sentence structure should be pristine. Same with vocabulary. Staff positions are not open yet. WINNERS will be appointed in TWO weeks, and for the trouble of typing an example you will gain 100 coins when it opens.

I really, really, really love this role-play idea! I'm like geeky out over how cool this sounds. Sounds so amazing, if this was a book I would read this in a heart beat! This is like my type of role-play, with my favorite animal and original (at least I haven't heard anything like this before) setting/plot/story. This is so cool! I feel like a little girl again with how excited I am for this xD
I am definitely going to try out for the Unda leader position!
I do have some ideas and questions. First off, and I might be reading too much into this, but is this kind of like wolf heaven? I assume this because they don't remember anything except for pain and/or a bright light so that makes me think death, then they arrive when a comic hits the Cascade Plains. Continuing when the wolf hits the Cascade Plains and their wisp appears, what if the wolf is a loner? Will it still show the color of their destined pack/tribe? If not, what color then does it become?
For an idea of what their searching for, they could be searching for how the wolves got here and each tribe has a very different idea? One thinks they arrived here by death or awaiting to reincarnated, one could believe that they are Gods/Goddesses sent here to train their powers/abilities (or something like that), one could not care but wish to learn more about how they have these abilities, and one could be wanting to know if there are more land masses out there. Something like that, could add to bigger plot lines later.
Tell me what you think!
OH! One more thing, so I have two weeks before you decide on each leader correct?

Spoilers~ The wolves are dead and this is like their new chance at life, hence the pain and the bright light.
The wisp that greets the rogues will be gray, and while the other wisps will guide the wolves to their packs, the gray will lead loners towards the unclaimed lands and then disappear.
For your idea, it might be too confusing for different tribes to believe in different things but that is a really good idea for an event, maybe one of the first. And about the land masses, it might be something we can incorporate later when the site picks up with more members etc.
And yes, two weeks c: Just post the application here and I'll look at people competing for it, etc. So happy someone is as geeked out about this as I am xD

That is pretty dark and awesome. Gives me a few character ideas, what if a war went or a forest fire happened in a previous life and a mate pair died, they fell into the world but don't remember anything but when they are around each other something just feels right. Perhaps to add to this each one is destined for different tribes, kind of like a Romeo/Juliet plot of sorts.
Another thing about loners, so would they be unable to control elements? Or could they control a different group of elements?
Yeah, I figured that might be the case. But I'm glad I helped out a little with some inspiring ideas.
I cannot wait to get started, I'm probably go for a male because I've noticed that females are more heavily role-played and I like to try to keep genders balanced as much as possible. Plus males can be fun to play~
One more thing! I checked out your site and I love it! Did you make that or was this a skin? Looks so clean cut, organized, and professional.

It was a skin but I've changed the colors! I fell in love with it and couldn't help using it!
Loners are basically even more lost souls with no place yet in the world ( I probably need a name for the island.) When they have found a part of themselves that identify them with a certain tribe, their wisp will immediately reappear but in the color of the tribe. Which builds up to more drama because if they're traveling with a group and the wisp shows up, and their friend or love interest gets a different wisp. Only then will they be able to get an element.
Loves like Romeo and Juliet will be more difficult because territories aren't necessarily touching, so it would take days to see one another.
If a wolf gets kicked out of the pack... I haven't gotten that far yet.

@francesca
Do you think I could have the link for the skin? I've been trying to find a skin like yours for a few days now and I would really appreciate the link.
A I've come up with could be Anima Nasci, which is basically something like soul being born in Latin.
Perhaps when wolves get kicked out their wisp appears but the color of the tribe were apart of begins to fade to either grey or to their new tribe color.
Also would their markings then change colors?

They have lots of great skins and tutorials! Make sure to read to rules for certain skins though.
Yes, markings should be white to begin with if they are loners.
And for the land, I was thinking of maybe just one word. I was thinking Adstrum meaning: star, constellation, glory, immortality, Heaven

This is grand! A nice twist on what I normally seen, plus an attractive looking site. I'm definitely checking out that resources site that you posted here. Urgh I so which I had time to participate in this, and am very frustrated because I don't think I can handle another site.

I'll be applying for the Aeris leadership position ^^
Character Name: Faela
Character Description: Faela is a wolf of rather basic appearance, her pelt being the standard; a base of creams and whites mottled with cinnamon browns, tans, and charcoal grays, medium length and growing thicker around her neck and tail. Her chest is a bit broader than a normal wolf's might be, suggesting strong lungs and an affinity for running long distances at quick speeds, and her legs and shoulders are lined with lean muscle that furthers that suggestion. Her eyes are a startling silver with small flecks of gold lining the pupil - one of her markings, subtle though it may be - and her gaze is rather unnerving in its intensity. The femme's more obvious markings surround her eyes in design of swirling yellow - any other marks she may possess are small to the point of being unnoticeable.
Reasons why he/she would make a good leader: Faela is a quiet soul, but a firm and honest one, and these qualities inspire a sincere trust between herself and her followers. Though she tends to avoid unnecessary violence, she is a good judge of what is and is not needed, and will fight tooth and nail as willingly as she will talk something out depending on the situation. A steady sense of self and morals combined with a cool head in a crisis creates a she-wolf that is adept at making tough decisions for the good of her pack, someone willing to make sacrifices to keep her wolves at the top.
Rp Example: Her body felt unnaturally cold, each breath harsh and painful, as though she were breathing ice into her lungs. Though her eyes were wide open, Faela saw nothing, silver orbs flicking left and right in an attempt to discern her surroundings. Jaw clenching, her optics narrow before closing, and the she-wolf forces calm to flood her system, at least so that her breathing returns to normal and her mind clears - whatever was going on, she would need to be ready for anything this... situation... might throw at her. To her great concern, her mind was blank of anything but the most basic information, her memories locked behind some great door in her subconscious. I am Faela - I am four years old. And I am d- Like ramming into a wall, her thoughts cut off with an abruptness that made her flinch, and as another shuddering breath escapes her system, she must come to terms with the fact that whatever she was doing now, she would have to do it without the aid of memories or past experiences. Faela's greatest weapon was her mind, so it was almost like being a pup again, stumbling into a world both unfamiliar and fascinating in its alienness - would she really have to rediscover everything?
Her musings are interrupted by the appearance of a light, blinding even through her closed lids. With aching slowness, Faela opens her eyes, to see a strange entity floating a few inches away from her face. It was like a wisp of cloud, flickering and dancing to a tune that no one else could hear. A hot molten gold color at its center, the little creature changed color every few moments, its outer edges switching from red, to green, to blue, to yellow - as this goes on, holding Faela captive to its odd ethereal beauty, the switches between pigments grow faster and faster, until finally it stops, eerily still in front of her. The final color was yellow, and just as her mind processes this, the wisp darts forward and through her, an intense burning sensation surrounding her eyes as a startled bark escapes her parted lips. Several moments pass in utter silence, her legs trembling slightly and her breathing once again reduced to harsh panting as she overcomes the shock. When her eyes finally do open again, it is not to darkness as it was before, but to a great open plain, a breeze sweeping the tall grass to the side, tickling her legs and paw pads. High above, the moon - odd, somehow, but holding a welcoming familiarity all the same - beckoned to her, shining light upon a territory vast and... new. Yellow markings now surround her eyes, little to the female's knowledge, as she was far too enraptured in the expanse of land before her, containing secrets and adventures that perhaps no other wolf had dared uncover.
Faela takes a step forward.
(Yeah, I wanted to role-play her entrance into the land of Ignus Fatuus Cx hope it turned out okay.)

I would like to apply for the leadership of Terra.
I'm also pretty good at coding so @joktan if you need any help, I would be more than glad to offer my assistance.
Character Name:
Divaena
Character Description: Much like the form of a fragile flower as it would stand in a field with hopes of not getting crushed, Divaena would hold herself practically the same yet strong. Lean and Long, the vixen's limbs would be responsible for her slight above average height. Not tall nor short enough to hinder her abilities, the female is perfectly matched in each skill another wolf would possess. Furs from her life before just a dark black, they now are a lighter shade, darkening around her legs but never becoming a pitch black. Light specks of green with a mix of brown would stain the female's muzzle in strips before making itself known on her fore-head, ringing around to tip Divaena's auds; Only then disappearing before reappearing to line her under-stomach horizontally in three strips, each longer than before. Figure a slender yet muscled tone, odd coloring's would be smooth and well maintained, making her appearance a delicacy and innocence, though that is far from what the vixen truly is. Something only her scars reveal. Missing a good half portion of her right ear, it served as a reminder to her accomplishments but now is nothing but a mystery: The same of her bear-like scar slashing across her left eye in five scars. Lastly, her eyes are nothing but a empty color, the silver hue reflecting only what is in it's sight.
Reasons why he/she would make a good leader: Bizarre, Intelligent, Deceptive, Quiet, Secretive, Erratic, Bi-polar, Callous, Seductive, and overall Insane. These were all, if not some, of the things Divaena was in her past life. The female was a horror, creating damage were-ever she went and now in death, in the times of a new start, she still hold some qualities of her past life but with a few extra. More moral qualities. Clear-headed and Patient, Divaena would rule over others with a dominant hold, but that doesn't mean she will be one to gain trust and followers through fear. No. Those will come in time, the vixen more than aware of those to be earned. Now one with nature, when it comes to taking a life the female will be more respectful about it, expecting her wolves to do the same and have an appreciation of it as well. Only killing when necessary. Totally being the opposite than her past life when no life other than her own mattered. As a wolf to create and nurture life forms, the one's of the other elements: preferably fire do not sit well with Divaena. Not as friendly to the souls who can and do destroy the Earth she now tries to protect so dearly.
RP example: Silver flashing to the barren sky, a clear array of light blue and white puffs of mist forming above to delude images upon the stranger’s mind and sight. Taking all this in, in a quick set of opening lids, the soul would no sooner than she had awoken be stung with a furious and vicious set of waves, the invisible force shooting pain through the vixens figure to ache her bones and muscles, making it more than impossible to get up and practically unbearable to feel any more. Numb. That was what her body would become after only a few moments of this continuous torture, the female unable to fight back as there was nothing to do but lay on her back and take it. Lungs growing and decreasing as the crisp air she breathed would be released and gained each time agony would fill her, a sudden burst of it nearly took her breath, the force enough to shake the vixen to her side where jaws would part slightly, enough of the female to cough up a sickening taste of her own liquids. It took a gruesome minute or so before Divaena would stop with the ability to finally catch her breath and open her eyes again. But what she was met with was no longer the sight of the sky but a pool of blood beneath her.
Confused. Why was she so confused? It was no doubt to her this was her own as she had just coughed up the dark substance but why she had was the part the female questioned. The part she wished to find out. Tongue slipping out of her muzzle to lick the stains from her face, Divaena would slowly come to find all of her footing, hoisting herself up steadily with the complaint from her body. She would need to find water. To clean herself off would be the start to finding out why she was bleeding so much or if she was bleeding at all. Silver hues lifting to see the surrounding area, nothing to her was familiar. Trees taller than anything she could remember would tower over her and continue on for what seemed like miles. The sky that was once blue now danced with color of midnight. How long had she been on the ground? It did not feel like longer than a few minutes. Auds rising to listen to the surrounding sounds to get a sense of what was here, nothing but a silence rang. It’s tuneless tone comforting than it would be frightening as she continued to scan the area, looking for anything to tell her which direction to go or at least to give Divaena a clue to where she was exactly. To who she was.
Taking a step forward, then again, one after the other the female would start her journey but that had been short lived as a colorful being would float in her path. Illuminating the darkness around with a light green, Divaena would begin to let curiosity take over and as the green figure slowly backed away, the vixen would follow, picking up her pace more and more to keep up with the increasing speed of the color. Sure enough, the female was in a run, her muscles and bones loudly complaining to the rushed movement but swallowing the pain, Divaena would run with the intent on catching up and figuring out where this thing was taking her. Dodging the foliage and woodland plants, in a matter of moments a surge of victory came upon her as she would almost ride the green color before plummeting down. Body crashing into the sharp edges of rocks and spikes of bushes and thorns that scattered about the sloped ground, for what seemed like an endless amount of pain was cut off as her figure hit the flat terrain with a large impact, enough to once more put her body back to it’s current, motionless state she had started out with.
The green hue was now gone, and as her silver orbs searched above to see where it could have gone, a streak of color was all Divaena saw before once more her body was filled with pain, the burning sensation too much for her to handle as the vixen went cold, numbing down to feel only nothing. The world was torn away from her sight, the once illuminated forest from the night's slaves disappearing as everything vanished into utter darkness. Peace.
