[I/T] Kheperu: An Egyptian Pack

[Fairy Snails]

Basic Info


Kheperu means Rebirth. The pack is called this because no matter how many times they are brought down, they will return stronger then ever to fight their foes.

This is a mostly wild dog pack.
Non-Wild Dogs are either captured, joined willingly or needed the pack's help. They have to be indentured servants for a period of time. Once they have worked for the pride they can have a common rank.

There is no color restrictions in the pack however tans and brown are more common for original members.

Back Story:
There was once a time when Kheperu numbers were the envy of the land. They were proud to be desert dogs, able to live in some of the harshest environment. The pack members were proud to say they were the subjects of Pharaoh Abubakar, a ruler who cared more about his subjects then he did about himself. During times of war Pharaoh Abubakar would battle with his soldiers and assist anyway he could. However, despite his greatness, Abubakar died in battle. His only offspring was a young princess. The title passed on to one of his general and younger brother Menkaura. As war time continued, their number started to diminish rapidly. The new Pharaoh Men kaura told his people to retreat, something the Kheperu have never done in all their years as a pack. The ones who retreated went back to their lands and stayed in one of their temples. Once the injured were healed the now small pack decided to rise again, become the pack they once were.



Current Times:
With his queen by his side, Pharaoh Menkaura has taken control of the situation at the temple. He has asked the pack to worry about getting revenge another time and instead has asked them to help him rebuild the pack. The Pharaoh, knows that he cannot rebuild the pack by himself and has asked the pack's members to help him bring in new blood into the pack.

Right now there is less emphasis on fighting and more on raising the numbers of the pack. However he is, along with most pack members, plagued with thoughts of revenge on those who harmed their pack. Revenge is often in the back of the Pharaoh's mind.

Marriage:
Arranged marriages are common in the royal family, and less common in the common class.

Divorce:
Divorce is as simple as marriage. If one member of the mated pair decides to leave the other, then they have the right to. The male gets to keep the den, the female typically would return to her parents or a friends until she found a new mate.

That is a problem. Hopefully, if this gets enough interest, I am going to try and get some wild dogs to give away when customs open up. 3nodding

If I do get a wild dog, I'll put them here. ^^
