SHADOWED HEARTS ALPHA AUDITIONS

[»MISK]

Have your eye on the Shadowed Hearts Alpha position? Well now is the perfect opportunity for you to get it! There are a few requirements for you to know, however, before you post your audition. First, your character must already be made and accepted. This only makes it easier for me to choose when I can look at their personality (weaknesses, strengths, etc). Second, don't make a character just for audition purposes. If your character doesn't get chosen, then we'll expect you to role-play them anyway. Also, as stated in the rules you may only have one high position, so if you get chosen for this spot you can't audition for another one. However, feel free to audition for another position if your character doesn't get chosen for this one. Please make sure you have read all the rules before auditioning, and you are using the correct form when you post (form can be found below).

*NOTE - This is not an audition for both alpha positions - I will be choosing either an alpha male or an alpha female. Once someone's character gets chosen their future mate will become the second alpha position.

Copy and paste the code below and reply here with your audition.

[.Kivara.]

OOC name: Vara
character's name: Kivara
age: 5 years
gender: She-wolf
why your character is good for this role: Kivara is patient and hard-working. She doesn't try hard to be dominant, it simply comes to her. When the previous Beta wolf of the Shadowed Hearts passed away, she asserted her own position among her pack-mates to rise to the rank. She works hard to keep everything in order, and keeps her mind as clear as possible in order to ensure that her commands, suggestions, and rulings are followed. She doesn't flee from fights or boast about her rank, but rather she will stand strongly in a fight and simply assert her dominance over another wolf if she feels the need to do so. Her dominance isn't overpowering, it's more like it's just there. She doesn't let it take over her personality, as is shown by her clear-headedness and immense patience.
RP Example: A black streak raced through the forest, her tail and head held high as a howl tore from her throat. The howl in itself was lyrical and commanding. Her posture alone showed that she was dominant, but her dominance was not overpowering. It didn't have to be. Her pawsteps slowed gradually as she approached a clearing nearby. Rich, golden eyes flickered around the clearing for a few moments, her ears pricking forward with anticipation and patience.

Soft steps against slightly crinkling leaves, left over from the past fall. She sat down, her midnight-black tail curling easily around her front paws. Her head was still held high, but her posture was graceful and elegant. She didn't look stern or overpowering, simply strong. Her gaze was calm, and held a clearness that was always a welcome sight.

Kivara was the Betess of the Shadowed Hearts, the pack she had been born into, lost much to, and rose in the ranks to her current position. Yet she didn't take her position for granted. Kevano had allowed her to take up her current position, and she could lose it at any time. Other wolves in her pack had seen the decline in their Alpha's strength after the death of his mate, and others would be looking at taking the role of Alpha once it opened up. Of course, as Beta, she would have the first chance at the position.

She couldn't say that was what she truly wanted, but it was. She wasn't ambitious, necessarily, but she knew she could be a very good leader to her packmates. And that was what kept her going. She wasn't going to give up her position to just anyone, but if they wanted to challenge her, they could. And if they truly were the better wolf, Kivara would step down, allowing them to take her spot. But currently? She hadn't noticed any other wolves planning to challenge her, and since they were following her loyally, she didn't think there would be.

Of course, she could always be wrong, she had been before. But with Kevano on the decline, she had been taking over most of the duties that he used to oversee. In fact, she was leading the hunt at that exact moment, waiting for her packmates to join with her first though. Her sister, Iluri, would be among the few other wolves she had chosen for this hunt, and Kivara knew it would be something special. Hunts normally were for her.
