For as long as any of them can remember, it has been this way. All the wolves have ever known is unity, strength in numbers, and, ultimately, loyalty to the pack. They live together in peace and harmony, bonding with one another through play as pups, and then solidifying that bond as adult wolves during the Hunts that they attend. Each wolf has his or her own place in the pack, and none is more or less important than another. The pack has a sense of balance and believes in the continuing circle of life. They respect all pacts made across the land and are in tune with the nature of the surrounding rock caves and forests in which they reside. The wolves know that their way of life is the right one, morally, and feel strongly that all life should be valued. And there is also one other thing that they have always been certain of: their rivalry with the lions.
The lions, as opposed to the wolves, are greedy, selfish creatures, who believe more firmly in the mantra of “every one for his or her own self”. They tend to split ways when hunting to cover more ground, and will only bring back enough food for their own individual kin, as well as a portion for the pride leader, usually (but not always) a dominant male lion of a greater age. The lions are trained from birth to think individually and to become self-sufficient, not leaving much time for play or clan bonding. Despite the distance that they put between each other, lion prides usually grow to be rather massive. The lions are also all sure of the fact that they and the wolves do not, under any circumstances, get along. They have even been known to break a pact or two so long as they can continue their rivalry against the wolves and/or benefit themselves.
In between the two main power houses (the wolves and the lions) is another group that is of a higher status in this land: the tigers. The tigers what would be considered the closest thing to neutral in the territory, as they tend to stick to themselves. The tigers are not fond of either group, although in the past they have had a tendency to side with the wolves when it comes to a problem with the lions. Tigers are typically strong, fierce, and agile, training their young to remain peaceful until it is necessary for them to become aggressive. The tiger community is a smaller one, consisting of only about 5-10 individuals per separate clan. They are usually considered the tie-breakers when it comes to voting on major issues with the wolves and the lions.
Whether you are a wolf, a lion, a tiger, or any other creature roaming the area, you will have to find food, shelter, a water source located near enough your home, and acquire skills to get you what you want/need. And, you will probably also gain friends (as well as foes) along the way. The choice is yours: what will you become?
(Same as in OOC, but just a basic overall plotline/starting point.)
