Presenting The Pack Post: Chronicle #2, our first monthly archive. Scroll inside each of the five boxes to check out this month's content! “It's all part of a day's work! I'd still rather be napping, though.” - Milo |
CHARACTER OF THE MONTH Apprentice Imset has proven to be a hair-raising character since her character was first introduced to TPR. Mortasia is full of unique, terrifying, crazy individuals whose posts keep us up at night, but one in particular has truly chilled us to the bone, and that is Imset. This month, we saw Imset take part in one of the most brutal scenes in TPR history which resulted in several detached body parts. FEATURED ADOPTABLE "Haruka is being put up for adoption for anyone that is interested in him! He is the son of Luke and Seven. His mother and father are not together anymore, and his father has a new mate, which could add a nice dynamic to his character! His brother also has Anxiety/Paranoia, so keep that in mind for their sibling dynamic! Otherwise, he has no current plots in store for him." SPINNING THREAD Last month, the Ferus Outskirts was selected as the spinning thread after an influx of rogues spiced up activity for the pack. We recognize the outskirts once again in August as it experienced a jaw-dropping, bloody scene as the Mortasia war plot begins to surface. Some of the best, most captivating posts in all of TPR history can be found in the August posts in this thread! BEST RP MOMENTS MOST INTENSE I know you think you've heard enough about this, but you haven't, and it's why it was voted for three different spotlights. The Mortasia attack scene at Ferus. This month, we saw Apprentice Imset and Apprentice Anubis maul Dawn to shreds as they ruthlessly ripped her larynx from her throat, and her very tongue from her mouth. For Mortasia wolves, this mean dinner has been served. Now, they pursue their next victims.CUTEST The running theme with this month's votes: puppies! Nobody can pick just one because they are all so cute. It has been a delightful experience to watch the site's handful of youngsters interact with the world and with each other, inspiring our quote of the month. Pup Zelda and Pup Link are a dynamic duo: "Zelda really thought she could handle this day alone, but in truth, she needed her adventurous brother..." Sirius and Pup Quinn have adorable interactions: "[Quinn] always was the more outgoing one, roping Sirius into his antics and driving Raisa mad with their little disappearing acts." All puppies deserve to be recognized before they grow up too fast!FUNNIEST Now, this could have qualified for the cutest moment if it wasn't an utter disaster. @joy has two fat crushes on Scout Azrath and his brother Simon , and the poor girl has never been noticed by them. Alpha Rowan , thinking he's helping out his adopted daughter, sends the three on a mission together, alone! And it has been nothing but awkward glances and fits of annoyance. Dad totally crashed this ship. Want to contribute? Click here |
AUGUST DONORS Thank you to all who have donated in the past. We do not have any donors for this month, but hopefully we'll have names to add for next month! If you'd like more information on donating and how you can contribute to The Pack Roleplay, do inquire! These contributions help us keep our domain names, advertisement removals, and storage expansions that become very costly. Our goal is to raise enough money to be able to maintain the beautiful websites you are a part of now, and expand it even further with the addition of serviceable and exciting tools in the future! NEW CHARACTERS Lots of rogues are entering the TPR map, many looking for homes, and many seeking experience in the unclaimed territories. New members, use this list to collaborate on plots with other new characters, and welcome to all who are new to TPR!
SHOUTOUTS COMMUNITY LEADER - Azaelia TPR has chosen our very own site owner as our community leader. It seems obvious, but there is so much more to Skyla that makes her our leader than just her staff position. Here's what members have had to say about her this month: "Without her TPR would turn into a hellhole with no direction and she seriously keeps this place in check... She has been my role model from the start and really deserves to be recognized for all that she does." // "Even though she's going through a lot right now she still comes online and is setting up an event for us, working on the homesite and being so nice to everyone! When I first joined she was the one who made me feel welcome." // "[She] remains a supportive badass human who keeps TPR alive and warm and is HIGHLY UNDERCREDITED and really needs to drink more wine." We love our owner and thank her for everything she does for us. You have our full support friendly dictator! QBTSC STARS - Spirit & Alphess Wren Spirit is our QBTSC star again as she totaled 95 posts this month. The second-place post count is only 37––less than half! Come on members, give our friend some competition! Putting an end to the mayhem 7 times is our lovely administrator, Alphess Wren . Keep those German invasions coming, staffers! MEMESTER - Nooné I'm certain that every TPR member has been left wheezing on the floor as a result of Joaquin's nonsense at least once in their lifetime here. This dude is truly the life of the party and "has never ceased tickling my timbers." He is sure to brighten anybody's bad day with a great sense of humor. BEST OOC MOMENTS IT'S CECIL'S FACECLAIM "When you actually find Cecil." "omg what a beautiful mushroom man." "He's so wholesome." THE CUTEST - Salutary Cecil Meet Polly's mama, dada, and tiny siblings! Mom and dad look so happy with a bunch of little beans snuggles between them <3 KIBBLE GRAM To Azaelia , From Our Beloved, and Dearly Missed, EBONY!!!! Sky, bless you. You are the most important member of this community in that it literally would not exist without you. You have shown the most compassion out of anybody I've met here, and continue to lead with integrity, honesty, and an open heart. You always are fair and true while keeping everyone in line and everything you do, you do for the members and not for yourself and I think it is so noble of you that you are still here despite all you've been through and how you've been treated. I love you so much and I miss you. Please continue keeping this amazing place alive, just, and fun! To Azaelia , From @dis I love you so much and I am so glad to have you as a friend. I think you’re one of the most amazing people I’ve ever met and you shine so brightly in all you do and in my life, and you may not remember it all the time but you are so talented and deserve anything good that may come to you and I care for you a lot. Gift: 1000B To Nooné , From @dis You are seriously the kindest and most gracious TPR member. I am seriously grateful to have you because you are sometimes the only person I feel comfortable with on there and I aspire to be the kind of genuinely good person you are, and also to be as talented as you. Gift: 1000B Spirit, you are a long-time member of TPR and deserve to be recognized for the amount of time and care you have put into this community. Your writing has improved so much over the years and, despite not being able to go on Discord, you still find ways to engage with TPR. You are so kind and understanding and you simply have not gotten the praise you deserve. Well done, and keep soaring. You are truly amazing and I love you <3 Gift: 1000B To Beta Violet , from Azaelia Kat, watching you grow as a human and staff member has been such a joy in my life. I think about you every day and want you to know how much I adore you. Thank you for being my partner in crime! Let's keep this place interesting, eh? <3 Gift: 1000B Just wanted to send a little gift to tell you how grateful I am for the chance to be your friend. You’re a fantastic writer with amazing characters and I’ve so enjoyed getting to know you over the past few weeks. <3 Gift: 200B To Sentinel Aelin , From Hunter Moose Future child support payment. Gift: 1000B To Salutary Cecil , From Hunter Moose Thank you for being one of the reasons my life is worth living, you are a fantastic human being and you do great in anything you apply yourself to! <3 Gift: 1000B Thank you for being such a great friend.

Females are taken for breeding strong superiors, and the rest are slaughtered. Ignasia has already infiltrated Ferus to take hostage their salutary, Solex, but have now made plans to take one of their females as well. This is only the first of many steps that Mortasia will take in their quest to rule. Read more about the war plot and what this will mean for each pack, and how you can participate if you are interested. As with all site wide plots, they are optional.

MONTHLY RULE REMINDER Member & Staff Expectations The "treat others how you wanted to be treated" rule is accepted in society, but rarely practiced. TPR exists to provide a safe and welcoming community for the creative minds, which are often the most sensitive. So, please do be respectful in all that you do. Give equal treatment to all members, including those who are new, including those who are not yet used to our roleplay and rules, including your staff. And, staff, you are expected to follow the rules, if not more strictly than others, for you are the ones who set examples and standards for members. Privately complaining and gossiping about other members and staff always results in deep misunderstanding of good-natured individuals, and is a recipe for disaster for a community that calls itself family. Always do your best to understand, never to judge. TPR is educational above all. We seek to help people grow as humans and as writers. The roleplay itself is only one subject within what we strive to teach. Let TPR always be what it was born to be, and help each other grow, and never put somebody down. MONTHLY FAQ What are birthstone eye colors and how do I get them? Each month, the shop will sell a birthstone eye color that corresponds with that month. For example, tomorrow, you will be able to purchase sapphire eyes for September. Birthstone eye colors are unique from our regular solid colors because of their shimmering, gradient quality. They do indeed have a shine to them and may have lighter or darker shades throughout the iris. They can cost between 600B and 1000B, depending on the stone. However, if it is your birthday month, you get the birthstone color for free! You may not purchase a birthstone color before the month it corresponds with. If your birthday is in December, you cannot get your free turquoise eyes until it is December. Want to contribute? Click here |
MEMBER ART
MEMBER WRITING THE RULING (COMPLETE BOOK!) - Shale Kalia had no choice but to be a good actor. Her eyes were distant and unfocused, her face lined with weariness as if her only interest was in finishing her duties and collapsing into bed. Nothing could have been further from the truth. Underneath her indifferent mask her mind worked tirelessly. Her ears strained to catch every word spoken by the five men in the pale green Protectorate uniforms. The soldiers had hardly even noticed the slender, ragged servant girl in her grey dress when they first entered the Cockatrice Inn. They did not notice her now. Their voices were hushed, to keep the other diners in the room from overhearing, but Kalia, hovering near their table on catlike feet, was invisible. She seemed deaf to their conversation, but she was listening. What she heard was a name, a name that had recently been falling off Protectorate lips like water. It was a soft name, a feminine name. Adina. Read full book, The Ruling, here! A BALL INSPIRED PIECE - Alphess Wren "Just writing I made bc ball made me realise that im lonelyyyyyy lmao" There’s something so tantalising about things just out of reach, isn’t there? It starts with the little things. Let our finger tips touch those few moments longer as I pass you something. Let my hand linger discretely on your shoulder if I clap it while I laugh. Let me stare into your eyes and for once tell you if that kaleidoscope has different coloured beads. Please. But my hands wants to linger away from general safety. Never straying far enough to cause scandal but enough to provide intention. I want to run my fingers along your jaw and feel the stubble beneath my thumbs; sandpaper coating the softness that you hold. I want for your hand to encase mine in warmth for longer than mere flashes in exclusive sections. The palms of our grasp can lay happily while the butterflies within me soar. I wonder what it must be like to sit encased in your scent and warmed by your heat, no matter the temperature of the day. Bliss I presume. Both of our fingers could trail lightly over one another’s arms, almost as if to trick the skin into responding. I want to lean against you in public, to show you my affection without caring what others would think. I want to be close to you, and you close to me in our own form of innocent intimacy. Alas, you are so far from me. I fear we will never be on the same plane where our two worlds can create the mosaic I imagine. Want to contribute? Click here |
