-- THE ISLES OF CIELO
-- a quick overview of the roleplay

-- Where?

- This roleplay will be taking place on the island of Solare, one of the many islands in the chain of islands just off the coast of Italy, known as the Isles of Cielo. Solare is one of the biggest islands of the Isles of Cielo, inhabited by exotic plants, many of which are either life-threatening, or used for food/medicine purposes. Another one of the inhabitants of this island are bigger felines (leopards/ocelots/etc.), and the main predator of the island, and who you'll be roleplaying as, are the Mutts.
Another place this roleplay will be taking place is the island of Luna, another one of the bigger islands in the chain known as the Isles of Cielo. It's a couple miles West of Solare, and is also covered in exotic plants, half of which are deadly, the other half used for food/medicine, as well as bigger felines (leopards/ocelots/etc.), and of course, the Mutts.

-- When?

- Around the year 2043.

-- Who?

- Who, or what, exactly, are the "Mutts"? Mutts are genetically altered wolves, originally experimented on by the United States government for possible use against other countries. But once the government realized that these altered-wolves were useless to them, they dumped them on the island of Solare and the island of Luna. Mutts are very similar to non-altered wolves, but there are a few physical, and even behavioral traits that set them apart from the other.

-- MUTT TRAITS

01: generally larger than regular, non-genetically altered wolves, heavier built than non-altered wolves, often more muscular (adult altered-wolves stand at about three, four feet at the shoulder, six to eight feet from paw tip to tail tip, weighing in at around one hundred to one hundred twenty pounds, males often outweigh females by five to ten pounds. jaws on both adult and young Mutts are much, much more powerful than an average wolf, teeth slightly larger and deadlier. 'Trainer's' (explained in the 'Rank Explanation' under 'Character's') are often two feet at the shoulder, averagely around five, pushing six feet from paw tip to tail tip, weighing at around one hundred pounds each.)

02: their looks often vary (they could be a regular, plain gray wolf, or they could be white with spots all over, but nothing to out-of-the-ordinary, like neon pink fur, or anything.) fur is thinner than an average wolves in order to survive in their humid climate. also, all Mutts have a tag on their ear with a number stamped on it, the number is what number experiment they were back at the lab.

03: often times, these altered-wolves almost display human emotion through expression, tone of bark, etc. also, very intelligent.

What?
(what's going on in the roleplay as of October 7th, 2010?)

- All is peaceful on the island of Solare, the pack there is doing well this summer, no shortage of water or prey. Until they find out about other Mutts, living on the island of Luna, just a couple of miles West of Solare.
It all seems like it'd be great, finding others of their kind, until the Mutts of the other island demand part of Solare's territory, and wage war. The Mutts of Solare must defend what is rightfully there's, but what if they can't? What consequences will the war bring? And what happens when some unexpected allies come into play on both sides?
