Earth survivors of the Dark Cities
These are the survivors of the dark cities that are now part of the "Ghost pup" pack. They are the survivors of the Earth specie among the cities that were brutally slaughtered by the Shadow and Hero Clans. Kane his pack counts 9 Earth wolves.
The earth wolves within the Dark Cities were known as merchants and builders. While "building" itself wasn't a known rank, they were often hired to build stable and strong dens. Because of their skills with earth, they could make dens that looked far more advanced compared to regular dens of most wolves. While territorial, they weren't nearly as aggressive as the earth wolves outside of the Dark cities. They had an alliance with all of the existing packs within the Dark cities after all. Sadly during the attacks, they were not prepared one bit. Being not exactly trained in fighting they became easy targets. The Shadow Clans had send in Shadow wolves accompanied by light wolves. Earth wolves could not possibly outrun Shadow wolves and most pups were taken hostage by them. In the end their parents we're lined up, as a high ranking commander of the Shadow Clans that went by the name "Shikku" pierced them one by one with ice. In the end the parents fell down on the floor, as a line of corpses was presented to the young pups. This left many traumatized as they hadn't ever dealt with such violence to begin with. While some escaped others did not and remained within the slave camp.
Due to the events, many became very territorial. Within Kane his pack, this does tend to lead to small issues when other survivors that aren't from this group walk across. Because of this their leader was chosen due to his gentle and kind nature. Within the pack he tries to make sure harmony returns. But many in this pack tend to be annoyed very easily, as the commander makes a fuss over who is leader and who is not. Not accepting Kaitou as a leader due to his age and specie, many of them hold grudges to the shadow survivors only because of their specie. Radic as group leader is supposed to make sure these wolves learn to accept others than their own kind.

Radic KizugaRadic was born as an only child, this gave him quite the attitude as a youngster. As their pack was targeted by the Shadow and Hero clans, Radic himself was a whole lot more self aware than most young wolves as he was already a 16 year old teen. Because of this he attempted to fight back. Sadly after being cornered he himself got captured as well. Normally wolves of his age were killed but some like him were exceptions. Radic was not accepting his fate though as he would speak loud and non stop annoying most of the guards. At the slave camp it was due to his big mouth that one of the commanders known as Dozayh used a string made out of metal around his mouth to muzzle him. This in the end began to cut through his skin. As he was muzzled however he learned to listen, understanding the emotions of those around him. When his rescue took place, he had changed a lot, wanting to aid those around him and help the pack in any way he could. This lead to Kane giving him the rank of a group leader. As of today he is one of the oldest survivors among the ghost pups, being even older than Kane.

Gaian TeraforLike many Ghost pups, he was taken into the slave camps of the Shadow clans. He came from a pretty large pack of mixed Earth wolves and Mud wolves. His parents were killed during the attack and raid, and he was taken with his sibling. The memory still haunts him. He was often known for fighting back against the Shadow clan's Shadow wolves, and therefore got his scars except for one. In typical Earth wolf behavior, he does not like outsiders but is incredibly loyal to his friends and those he considers family such as his sibling. He despises Shadow and Light wolves, and only slightly tolerates the ones within the Ghost pups. Though he tends to be easily annoyed by Kaitou and has a hard time considering him he's leader. Aside from his somewhat strong nature he does enjoy cuddles and comfort, as he mostly looks up to older females as he was a mommy's boy. Due to his strong nature he was given the rank as commander within the small group of Earth wolves. As he takes his rank with a lot of pride, as he won't take an insult from anyone. He wishes one of his siblings is still alive.

Edafos TerrusEdafos is the youngest of the earth wolves among the Ghost pups. He was among the many young pups guided to the last sanctuary unknown to the enemy. Being among the youngest wolves hunger was truly an issue as even the somewhat older pups had little chance of succeeding a hunt. As he grew older it was around the age of 7 during a hunt on smaller critters that wolves of the Shadow Clans spotted him, as they chased after him he ended up falling straight into the river. This had badly scared him as he will usually avoid water at all costs. That day he had to thank his life to one of the leaders of his pack, as Kareny saw what happened and quickly aided him and helped him to get out of the river. Edafos is not a fighter preferring to aid the pack without having to take part in dangerous missions. He is quite often corrected by his group leader as he does tend to be quite rude in general even if it's not on purpose.

Jishi HeiAs a young pup when the slaughter of the Dark Cities begun, Jishi attempted to run away with his mother. They managed to escape their original pack, only to be turned down by other packs who wouldn't let them take shelter. Eventually and on the brink of starvation, they were discovered by the Shadow Clans. They killed Jishi's mother and took him to the slave camps, as he was still quite strong because his mother gave him the majority of the food they scavenged and stole. Jishi was used for harder work as he has a strong built even for the Earth species. He was among those that were freed by the Ghost Pups. Despite his size, he is shy and sensitive, and rather cowardly, but he is getting better, as his pack mates are very supportive. He doesn't want to be a body guard or hunter, because he is quite afraid of responsibilities. He would rather be a thief and so he tends to look up to wolves like Kaitou, even if some of his group are easily annoyed by Kaitou.

Demira PetraasDuring the raids on the Dark cities Demira's pack sadly fell victim as most other cities were taken down too. Demira was forced together with other young pups as they had to see their family and friends dragged to the wall only to be killed of by shadow wolves. This was done to ensure obedience of the young pups including Demira. Demira's spirit in some sense was broken as she simply followed orders accepting the fate that came upon her. Even so she received a fair share of beatings attempting to protect the younger pups that were in the slave camps as she was. She was a witness to the destruction of the very slave camp she was part of, this being a smaller camp was targeted by Kane. As she was free she immediately joined the pack. Demira follows orders without judging them but even among the other wolves she is the one with the worst temper. Unlike many others she isn't as positive believing that even the "white wolf" is nothing but a fairy tale.

Athel PetuAthel was once a very lively pup. She always sought to please wolves and make their day but she had a manipulative side, always convincing others to side with her. Her parents were mercenaries and she took after them a lot. When the Dark Cities were attacked, she was separated from her family and sent to the slave camps. Once she was there, she tried her best to defy the slavers and rally other prisoners but it ended in brutal punishment. She never spoke again as her wounds made it too painful, she still held on to her stubborn and defiant nature. She never broke under the abuse or showed pain mainly due to her pride. When the ghost pups came she was hesitant but quickly accepted a role in the pack. Even though some wolves choose to avoid her, most are supportive relating to her pain. Her remaining eye is like a mirror, reflecting the horrors of the slave camps because she kept her experiences locked inside. Athel is half blind in her left eye and has trouble hearing in her left ear but she's strong and has an air of authority.

Vera JishinDuring the massacre Vera's family managed to flee. In the panic her parents did not realize that Vera had not followed them. As her uncle luckily checked the den he noticed the young pup on the cold floor looking rather confused of what was going on. As he grabbed her and fled he was noticed by Light wolves of the Hero clans who quickly chased him. Pushing Vera in the bushes he distracted the attackers as that was the last time she would see her uncle. As she was on her own she survived eating bugs and insects, but not much could fully please her appetite. As she was on her own it was an older female wolf traveling with her mate that found her, both of them had fled their pack as well due to the attacks losing their children in the process. Arya then decided to look after Vera and knowing the sanctuary she left and brought Vera there were she met Kane for the first time. As they left just like many other adults that attempted to find survivors they themselves did not return either leaving Vera quite emotionally unbalanced. But with more slaves freed she did feel more at home once other earth wolf pups became part of the pack. Vera herself is quite fascinated by stories and history.

Enki ShihaEnki and his brother fell victim to the attacks on the Dark cities. When their pack was slaughtered, Enki and the other young ones were taken to the slave camp. He did what he could to ensure his brother would be safe, standing up for him and taking the punishment that was originally meant for his brother. Enki kept his hopes high though, as even through all the harsh pain and mental draining he would still support his brother and attempt to give hope to the other young ones saying that one day they would escape this place. But as time passed his brother grew very weak leading to his death. The only thing that kept him going was taken away from him. Still Enki tried to be there for the other survivors acting like a big brother to all of em. When he was eventually recused, there was only one thing on his mind and that was revenge. Enki would often join interrogations, mostly to see his enemies suffer above all. Enki tends to be postivie getting a long with the majority of wolves even though he tends to avoid shadow wolves and light wolves within his pack due to the memories that haunt him of the Shadow and Hero Clans. He is often seen around Gaian as they seem to get a long quite well.

Seiashi IwahitoAt the age of 5, Seiashi had witnessed the brutal murder of his family and pack, as they were killed off infront of the young ones in an attempt to gain more obedience from the young pups. Seiashi was taken away from his home along with his siblings, as they were sent off to the slave camps. Their pack, which was one of the larger ones, was completely destroyed by the invading Shadow and Light wolves. In the slave camps, he was extremely timid; he didn't dare to speak and avoided the guards as much as possible. As a rescue took place, he finally managed to get out, but sadly, his siblings weren't that lucky, as Shadow guards quickly captured them. He was pushed forward by the other slaves that were set free, having no other choice than to abandon them. Till this day, he hasn't been reunited. In the pack of the Ghost Pups, it was Micaiha who softly helped him to get over his trauma. As he met other Earth pups, he came across a stone that reminded him of home, which he named Jitaku. Nowadays, he can be seen everywhere carrying that rock as no one is allowed to touch it. As time passed, he finally began to feel home and even gained the rank as a pack watcher among his fellow Earth wolf pack comrades. Among the Earth wolves, he and the group leader are known as the most gentle of the pack.

Earth survivors within the Slave Camps
Brinnah KetrophnaBrinnah's parents were peacemakers, and focused heavily on compassion. They taught her. Everyone deserved a second chance. Then the Shadow Clans attacked. The Dark Cities got no second chances. The last thing Brinnah saw of home was her own mother stabbed through the throat with an icicle. She was taken to the camps, along with her sibling. She reminded herself of her parent's teachings, but she struggled not to become jaded. She kept herself afloat by focusing on the well being of the other slaves and her sibling. She encourages obedience to the slavers, if only to avoid injury. This earned her frequent punishment from the guards, leading to broken ribs that never seem to heal. Years later things went better, they were fed more often, treated better. Her sister being rebellious ended up in a fight between the two. In the end harsh words we're spoken from both sides. but as her sibling died, she felt devastated that nothing had been resolved before her sister died. She is haunted by memories of the starvation and beatings, of her parents' death, of her sister. She dreams too of being with her family, and of the Ghost Pups' return someday.

Geming TeraforAs a young pup Geming was seen somewhat as a runt to the litter. His siblings we're fierce, and he was rather gentle. His interests would develop for building, as he dreamed of making dens for other wolves to enjoy. During the attacks on his pack he attempted to fled but was captured quickly. When he saw the fate of his parents he panicked far more than his brother this lead his captors to torture him. Within the slave camp he was often picked, he felt comfort from his brother Gaian but once he was freed and he wasn't, he felt troubled more than anything. He wasn't as aggressive as his fellow earth wolves, and he wasn't in favor of them either as he chose to be very obedient to the guards to prevent furhter harm.

Zuka AyuraAs a pup Zuka was energetic and kind yet shy. Loyal and helpful to those in need. Despite that her parents we're assassins. During the attack her parents managed to get further away nearly escaping. But fate wasn't so kind, Shadow wolves saw them flee as they attacked. The parents didn't go out without a fight as they defended their pups killing Shadow wolves in the result. But soon they too we're outnumbered. Continuing to fight the Shadow wolves ended up winning by pushing them of a cliff as wolves below could finish of the job. If that wasn't enough zuka was held down and clamped on her muzzle, forcing her to watch them tear her sibling apart. Attempting to break free she ended up with a nasty scar on her muzzle. Zuka used to be talkative, but with her experience of what she saw and the slave camps following she became far more silent. Aggression would take it's place in return as it was the only way to avoid thinking of the past.

Kadius MagnanKadius had been born the biggest and only pup in his litter. As he grew up, he was often called "the bear" for his large size, and his grumpy personality. He would spend the most time with his father, who worked in the Dark Cities as a sort of architect. Seeing his father build miniature dens, he was eventually inspired to become his apprentice. During the attack on his pack, despite the skills his father and family was killed of. Kadius tried to fight his captors, but was thrown back against a jagged boulder that gouged out his eye and left him scarred for life. If that wasn't all, it was soon discovered he'd lost memory of his family... but not the attacks, or the information he'd learned from his father's training. He was put to work with the planners of the Slave camp, obeying every command given to him. With the situation of food-stealing between the others, he usually goes to the ones who have stolen the rations from the weaker slaves, and intimidates them into giving back whatever portions they stole, or even steals from the stronger ones himself to give them to the sick and the weak.

Liro MundusLiro was an orphan. When wolves of the Dark cities had been contacted by a smaller pack of wolves for constructing dens, it was an elder wolf among those that came that stumbled upon the orphan. When he noticed how slim she was he questioned the pack that hired them, as they pointed out her parents dropped her with them and that they themselves had little food themselves. It was then the elder decided to adopt the young pup and provide her with a home. Liro grew quite fond of this wolf seeing him as a father figure as they grew close rather quickly. When the attacks took place however, her life that seemed to have turned around for the better, wasn't meant to be this way or so it felt. Her new parent was impaled as many of the other adults as she had to see it all happen. Being in the slave camps only made things worse, as her temperament began to grow worse and worse. She is among the more aggressive individuals among the earth wolves.

Kei IwaKei's life was rather sheltered before he was taken to the slave camps. He lived within a large pack but was a weaker one to be born. Among his litter he was the only survivor which left his parents super protective over him. Even though he was an only child he did seek friendship of pups around him, he would always be near one of his cousins. Unlike his fellow friends he was never allowed to venture to far away from his den which did make him feel left out at times. When the attacks took place his parents did everything they could in attempt to protect their son but sadly ended up dead in trying so. Kei was pinned down as he tried to run away resulting in some deep wounds on his neck. Having seen the fate of those that are physically weaker among the earth wolves, he will try to work as hard as he can to avoid dying. He's often left exhausted after working, and will seek company from other captured wolves around him. Even if he seeks up his cousin, after the events he sadly can't recall who Kei is.

Nanto NephelineNanto lived a peaceful life as a pup in the dark cities. She was a charming young pup. Building little bases for fun. She had big dreams of being a builder,But those faded away with the upcoming attacks. She became extremely traumatized after seeing her parents die before her, and was taken to the slave camps. At first, the treatment was horrible and she survived only because she stuck with the earth wolves. But as time passed, her caring personality changed to survive by giving into her captors commands. Once the abuse lessened, she began treating the guards differently. She began selling herself out to them in order to gain favor and food. In return, she would work even harder than the other earth wolves, even to the point of collapsing. She estranged herself from the others because of the guards and is viewed as an annoying brat by her group. She treats everyone awfully and gets into fights often to show her dominance. She's also convinced that the shadow wolves are helping her achieve this dream by building so much. Deep down she knows it's wrong but if she starts disbelieving it, she'll go mad. Because of the way she's been treated, she enjoys living in the slave camps.

Kowatu KizugaKowatsu as a pup would always follow his parents around the place. He was a playful individual who seemed to get along with everyone. During the attacks he was captured quickly and placed among the other young pups. It was then that he as well had to see his parents being killed in cold blood as the gasps for air and help are still haunting his mind. Within the slave camps he became extremely submissive towards his captors in attempt to avoid any injury, but this in return made him extremely dominant with other slaves. Stealing food, showing dominance to them was all to common. He has trouble believing if his situation will ever improve, frightened of this taught he just does as he is told. If ordered he would even harm another wolf just to be in favor of the guard.

Ryuumi IlgrimAs a pup Ryuumi was a dominant individual, always seen bossing around the other pups within the pack. she was a fierce pup that stood her ground more than most pups. When the attacks took place her dominant attitude became mixed with aggression. In the slave camps she would always ignore the guards. Having a rather arrogant attitude towards them and causing problems non stop. That is until the main torturer of the Slave camps took her in, she was never the same afterwards. Her aggressive doubled toward the other pups, using her strength to get more food. She learned to follow the orders, however, she always shoots them arrogant and furious glares. Sadly, all this boiled up anger usually end on the other slaves. Being one of the older and bigger wolves, rare were the pups who picked on her. Thanks to her symbolization, Ryuumi has this special ability to make her markings glow like a ruby, guiding the other pups through the mountain where they usually work. After 3 years in the slave camps, she has lost all hopes that they will ever get out or be saved and had accepted her fate...

Petrron CancelloPetrron was a curious and observant pup. His parents were merchants and builders. During the attacks, he and his siblings got captured. His parents were killed with the rest of the adults. The slave camps we're horrifying, pups we're dying left and right. As the years went on, one by one his siblings died being the only survivor of his litter. The other slaves are mostly afraid of him due to his large size. If anyone takes his sleeping spot, he will become aggressive. He only talks to the earth wolves. Having a special ability that can tell the weak points in rocks, makes him quite usable in return for his captors. He has been given the task of burying holes for dead wolves which gained him the nickname "Grave Digger". If he gets too aggressive, psychic wolves will remind him of his place, as he fears them more than any other type of wolf. Having extreme grudges to those that took his family, but troubled with the thought that he can't do anything about it.

Rahan KarachAs a young pup, he strives to become a builder like his parents. When the Shadow Clans attacked his pack, he fought desperately against his attacker, being dragged closer to the lined up wolves as a result. His attacker held him there while he stared into his parents’ eyes. The next second, they were slaughtered before his eyes. Their blood splattered across his face, and he no longer struggled. While he resented the Shadow Clans and Shadow species, he didn’t fight back against his captures and did as they said. He considered fleeing when he was let out of his collar during his work, but he decided against this. Because of this, he found himself in scuffles with a Fire wolf who questioned why he never took the opportunity to escape. During a session of work he was so tired he accidentally damaged his very own eye, causing him to be half-blind. Rahan is silent and hardworking. His instincts for survival has made him very territorial over food and isn’t willing to share, being a loner at heart.

Kenin TainobaHe once was a wolf of strength and bravery who promised to protect his family no matter what hit them despite the fact that he was only a little pup. He was a brave little youngster as some pups would look up to him. But when the attacks took place and all his loved ones were taken, he was powerless. His demeanor changed to a cold and stubborn tortured soul. He obsessively tried to be the strongest and best builder out of every wolf in the slave camp as brute strength was the only thing he knew he could actually do and love. He was not very smart at all, his behavior never made sense to others and he never really went through with decisions on his own so he never had an urge to escape or change, he never admitted to this but he was truly afraid of another big change. He is close minded and often has trust issues but as much as he hates to admit this on the inside all he wishes for is someone who understands him like his family once did.

Earth survivors - Gallery
The survivors of the Ghost pups were originally going to be designed by myself as the creator, but then I changed my mind realizing it would be more fun to involve the supporters of AzureHowl. Because of this many of the survivors will be fan designs by the supporters of AzureHowl.
