I think you have a well-balanced plan here. ^^
So on my part, I agree with this plan of action on deciphering what are lovely Wolfkin shall obtain pet-wise. :3

The votes are in! XD So, since our character was voted to have a magical bond, we can skip the species voting and go straight to picking out our Dire Wolf!

If you missed it, I explain what we're doing on the previous page. This is something of a blind vote to narrow down the choices of Dire wolf litters to choose from. Choose carefully now! Or don't - because you don't know which Dires you'll find down which path! XP

    Bonded Vote: Which Path does our Eldsona Take?
    Jul 28 2016 - Aug 02 2016



  • The rich scent of plowed earth fills our character's nostrils, as he roams the Farmlands one warm morning looking for work. Ahead, golden wheat rustles as something moves through the tall blades, catching his attention...

  • The Dark Forest looms before our character, ominous black pines, as rigid as the guards outside Alabaster glare you down. The path of adventure and danger call to our character. There's no telling what vicious beasts may lurk in the shadows here...

  • The cold and snow bite at our character's nose, as he finds himself facing the Mountain Pass. As he makes his way through the snow-scape an eerie howl pierces the wind and makes him freeze...

  • The hustle and bustle of the City is where our character finds himself today. He is intrigued by the many colorful scents and sights. So many people and creatures in one place! But one in particular catches his eye...

  • The home of his ancestors, the Desert may seem barren to some, but to our character it is a place of wonder and beauty, full of highly adapted animals. On a pilgrimage here he may even find such a creature...

  • Our character finds himself in a peaceful Glade, and decides to rest for a moment. He lays in the grass, smiling up at the sun and buzzing bees, when suddenly a sound strikes his ear. He is not alone...

  • The Ocean sings in the blood of our character, and he forsakes the other roads to take the treacherous path down to the shore to collect seashells. But on the way he may run into an unlikely friend...

    Total votes : 5


So we chose the Farmlands Path for our Character! He's come across several different types of Dires in the Farmlands which we'll get to choose from for his bonded! Here they are!

  • Collie Dire Wolves by RainbowFinch
  • Pastel Dire Wolves by RainbowFinch
  • Paintspot Dire Wolves by Jendalie
  • Citrus Dire Wolves by alliegator
  • Nomadic Dire Wolves by RainbowFinch
  • Geosepia Dire Wolves by KittyCatKita

(Wow! So many RainbowFinch Dires - didn't even realize, that! XD)

And if you don't feel like looking them up, I've complied them all into a single group so you can compare the litters:

Eldsona Group!


Apologies again for the delay. It's been very busy, and I'm gonna be honest - I might be a bit slow on the next few polls. But hope you're all still having fun! ^^

  • This dire wolf approaches out Eldsona politely, giving him a cursory sniff before letting the wolfkin pet them. This one seems to be quite the attention seeker.

  • The barking of this dire wolf makes our Eldsona look up sharply. The loud dire wolf frolics around the path, enticing our Eldsona to come and play!

So what I did was assign all four dires a number at random. Then I eliminated the first one, and chose a number at random, and this is what we got:

Ta Da!

(By the way - for anyone curious, this one was option number four - the sleepy one. XP)

Next vote is fairly straightforward. XP What is the sex of this lovely Dire?

Wow! XD Those are some very conclusive results! So we have a female dire wolf bonded to our Eldsona.

So what's next? Well, it's time to decide when our Eldsona met his bonded!

The Results are in! And wow, you know what? For once I didn't plan ahead for the next vote. XD So we're gonna vote on age next, but for the next poll, I figured - why not let you guys tell me what sort of questions you want to put to our Eldsona's Bonded? Do you want to know about her personality? Her history? What sort of magic or skills she has? The nature of her relationship with her Bondmate? Leave me a few questions or your general thoughts in the thread, and we'll see if we can't answer them! Figured you guys might have a bit more fun with that. ^^

Whoo! So no one told me what sort of questions they had for our dire wolf, so, you're just getting a simple personality poll. XP You can pick up to three personality traits for our dire wolf and the top three or four will make up their personality. I'm sure there's a better way to do a vote like this, and I'd love to hear suggestions on them if anyone has any ideas.

In answer to the previous post, maybe we could do something with history to develop the Wolfkin's and Dire's backstory together? Perhaps something like, under what circumstance did they meet and/or bond? (eg, forced together by a third party, dire wolf rescued the Wolfkin from some sort of danger, met casually on the street, etc, etc... Or perhaps they met, spent some time together and then bonded later on?)

It doesn't have to be specific, but perhaps a broad generalization that could possibly be fleshed out more in the future? Just a random idea. XP

Woo! So we have her personality. She is Loyal, Affectionate, and Introverted. ^^ She sounds like a really nice direwolf.

We're going with scmar's suggestion next, and I'm happy to hear more if you guys have any. I tried to keep the options general, but also interesting. I'm sure there's more ideas out there, but hopefully these options cover a wide enough array of story scenarios. Maybe one day I'll ask you guys to help come up with a more fleshed out backstory based on the winning vote here.
