Mud 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 Mud specie among the cities that were brutally slaughtered by the Shadow and Hero Clans. Kane his pack counts 8 Mud wolves.
Well known as healers these wolves were among the friendliest and gentle of the Dark Cities. Even if few practiced assassination, the majority was very friendly and cheerful. They loved joking around and resting. They were known for focusing more on recreation than anything else. They had many mud pools all with different sizes fitting from the youngest to the oldest wolf. Travelers were welcome to rest out in them. The pools were known for healing and giving wolves quite some relaxation. Other than that, some had even summoning spirits to aid them. There was only one pack divided in smaller packs living as a community in the same forest, so in other words they all lived next to one another forming a bigger city of wolves. When the attacks began, brutal events took it's place in this once so peaceful area. Early in the morning Shadow wolves began their attack. Many weren't fit as fighters and those with summoning spirits couldn't last long against the huge amount of attackers. Those with spirits were killed of first. But the way they killed the others that weren't fighters was brutal and left mental trauma's on the survivors. The parents were dragged to the very mud pools they normally enjoy, being pushed under and not allowed up, caused mud to fill their lungs until they died slowly of drowning. The youngest pups of 1-3 were thrown into the adult pools, the walls were to high for them to climb up and too slippery. Some of the yearlings couldn't even swim. Those who could had to fight for their life trying to stay up until they were so exhausted they no longer could. For those that survived, not one ran away, they were so frozen of what they saw that they could simply be picked up. This caused all of them that survived to at least experience the slave camps as well. As some were rescued, they needed serious aiding mentally the most to get back on their paws. As they finally grew into a small pack within Kane his pack, they began to open up. Despite what they all witnessed, they remained cheerful and had no grudges to the shadow wolf specie. Some did develop an interest for assassination and some for torturer, not many though. But some eventually did grow finding hate in their heart to the Shadow Clans.

Damizu DekishDamizu was the runt of the litter. As she grew a tad older her siblings adored her, and were quite protective. She was interested in healing wanting to open her own mud pool. But then the Shadow Clans invaded, it was a massacre. As she was injured due to a Shadow ball that launched against the floor, she was thrown in a mud pool by the enemy believing she was too wounded to be useful. She desperately tried to stay above as mud was swallowed. But help came from an unusual corner, as she almost drowned the summoning of another mud wolf came to her rescue dragging her out into the bushes, only to disappear as it's master died. As the fight was over, she never knew which mud wolf it was that saved her. Wounded she stayed in the pack for a short time at least until she could walk. Seeing all the bodies in the mud pools, something snapped in her mind. Seeing a wounded Shadow wolf left for death, she did all she could to drag the body and push him in a mud pool even if the wolf tried to kick her of, his bones were broken from a previous fight. As she threw him in, he drowned slowly in front of her. Her personality changed completely, she went towards the sanctuary in the desert, and became part of Kane his pack. She was the only mud wolf and so when others came she was their group leader. Known as a smart and deadly opponents, she will use mud to fill up the lungs of her opponents wanting her opponents to relive what she had faced and seen. But among her friends, she is kind and sweet. She does have a crush on Paru, but she's horrible at flirting or telling him.

Henko YuwaHenko was the son of a leader within his previous pack. Learning a lot about pack structure and rules paired within, he was quite mature at a young age. He as a young pup would take the role of calming down pups if an argument got to intense, and he often took part in meetings, not to speak but to listen. When the attacks happened however, he felt completely lost. He couldn't protect anyone as he was to small. His parents were drowned like many others, as the only memory he carries of them is his charm like feather on top of his head. His parents had this as well, as it was a sign of their proud nature. As he was taken to a slave camp, he still tried to somewhat guide pups, and knew perfectly how to make the guards lose interest in him. As he was freed he met up with the other mud survivors and befriended the group leader. In some sense they make a great team, as she does rely on his guidance. He will advice her if she is doing things he feels to be unfit for a group leader. Both get a long greatly. He became group commander due to this.

Naosei CaenoNaosei and his brother Kalivi both were pups born to commanders of their past pack. Their parents were very kind and had their own mud pools going for any visitor to enjoy. At a young age they learned on how to maintain these and how to be polite towards their visitors. Both of them were quite close to one another. He never liked being alone, so having the comfort of his brother made him feel at ease. When the attacks took place, their very own mud pool was covered with blood and bodies, as they were picked up and taken to the slave camps, they had to see younger pups than themselves drown in the pools. After the slave camp, he too was very traumatized and got help from healers within Kane's pack to get somewhat over those fears and learn to deal with it. To his luck he and Kalavi were reunited. Naosei focused mostly on healing wolves within the pack.

Paru ShamudAs a pup, Paru was a cheerful, goofy little guy who loved to make his parents laugh. Before he was born, his parents performed the summoning ritual with a salamanders tail and other materials. Twig was about the same size as Paru when he was born, and has watched over him since. His parents were both healers and wanted him to follow in his footsteps. They gave him a salamander summoning so that he could reach herbs and other things with ease. Paru was only 5 when the shadow clans attacked his home. His parents were drowned before his eyes and he was too scared to move. Tears flooded his vision as he was easily picked up by the attackers and taken to the slave camps. While in the slave camps, his captors would often beat and bruise him, and even tear off his toes. Paru would summon Twig to help regenerate those toes in private so he wouldn't be found by them. But his jailers quickly caught onto his special ability and would begin tearing off parts of his limbs and allow him to regrow them for their entertainment. He began to resent that ability because of it. As soon as he was rescued, he was so mentally scarred and terrified of everyone that he had the hardest time adjusting to a more comfortable life. In an effort to help rehabilitate him, he was brought to other healers and began re-learning his healing skills. As a result of the slave camps, he became terrified of adults and water, and is even scared of taking baths. But with the help and support from his fellow mud survivors and Twig, he found courage and hope for a better future.
TwigTwig is a flighty little girl who loves Paru. She is over-protective of Paru and usually sticks to riding him while yelling at wolves who she deems a threat. Since she is small and can't do much, she usually transfers his abilities to Paru so that he can defend himself. However, Twig will occasionally be able to spy on others and return with information useful to Paru and the Ghost pups.

TerracottaTerracotta was extreamly young when the Shadow Clans invaded the Dark Cities, to the point where she cant seem to remeber any of it. Her summon can remember it though but refuses to tell her what happened that day. Only recently did Terracotta escaped from the Slave Camps. She is reather dimwitted and doesnt quite understand that what happened was completly wrong. She has a bit of anxiety about disappointing the already free Ghost Pups.
ArgilArgil is a big grump who tends to get rather snappy at the other free ghost pups. even so he is very kind and forgiving toward terracotta. If not a bit annoyed by her constant questioning and jokes. He keeps an eye out for her. He fears that the traumatizing events might have caused temporary memory loss. Argil is aware of certain specific details, such as the fact that Terracotta was an orphan and had no last name as she was found by this pack rather than born in it. all the memories he has of her though makes him sad, as he wish she could remember some details of it. He doesn't want to tell her anything about it, to his luck she seems quite clueless about it, as she doesn't really ask him about the details of her past either.

Maddo SodoroMaddo has always been a goofy pup. A tad awkward but goofy. He was eager to learn about assassination which was a less practiced rank in their pack, but he was to clumsy for it. Even as a pup he just kept tripping over his own paws. As the attacks happened he was among the pups that froze in fear, as he was easily taken to the Slave camps. Upon his rescue, he eagerly wanted to become a torturer as he looked up to his group leader Damizu and his ally Chryan. But even so, he still remains clumsy. So far he hasn't officially been given the torturer rank due to his targets either dying to fast or dying from shock. As he wasn't good at it at all. Still he attends all sessions public within the pack, and he eagerly wants to become one anyways. His friends tend to joke around with him knowing he's not good at it, and in some senses way to kind to be good at it. As the quick kills on his targets usually happen due to the pity he feels for them in pain.

Akelda MaanasAkelda's family was one of the last to be killed by the Shadow Clans. She and her older sister were taken as slaves, and her older sister was forced to heal over-tortured and overworked slaves. Akelda would usually be forced to assist her, and she would often stare in fear at the guards. One day, a guard finally snapped and attacked the smaller pup, slashing her eyes out. Akelda's sister retaliated by trying drown the guard in hot mud, but was killed before she could do much harm. Akelda became very quiet afterwards. She learned to get about using her sense of hearing and smell. The guards barely paid her any mind, and because of this, she began to learn of the secrets of the camp... When the Ghost Pups came through the camp, she revealed what she knew to their leader, and because of this, many more pups were saved from hidden places where the guards kept them.

Mud survivors - GalleryThe 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.
