Water 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 Water specie among the cities that were brutally slaughtered by the Shadow and Hero Clans. Kane his pack counts 16 Water wolves including Sonoke.
Well known as healers and merchants, these wolves would catch fishes of all kind trading them in return for different types of meat. As they themselves lack the speed to hunt deer, the trading system allows them to eat food they normally cannot hunt. Their tails are heavy so if they fight they tend to use it defensive. They were also known for their summoning habits, as many had a summoning. The wolves of the Dark cities lived on several locations in smaller packs. Always near a river or a lake. They were very easy going, and friendly from nature. When the attacks took place, they had to face the Hero clans rather than the Shadow Clans. The Hero clans had send their electric wolves to counter their element. As the attacks began most had to rely on their summoning spirit to offer the pups time to flee. Many being to slow to outrun the fast electric wolves, chose the water as a hiding spot, without thinking it through. Electric wolves used electricity to harm those that were hiding. Though some locations were different, many pups managed to swim completely to the bottom which was to far for the electricity to get to. Many waited for hours, which was hard as pups couldn't hold their breath as long as adults could. Young wolves on land that were captured were less lucky. Ending up in the slave camp was a death sentence. As in current time, no water wolf exists in the slave camp, the intense heat and lack of water is what kills them. This is why most survivors within Kane his pack, have never even seen a slave camp. Those that lived are usually pups that either ran away with their parents till a certain point, or hid as deep as possible in the water until it was safe to come out. When the pups eventually swam up, they noticed bodies floating that hadn't swam deep enough, just as many wolves were death. Many adults were lined up and electrified. It was a typical habit of the Hero Clans to line up their victims. The pups however stuck together, so most knew each other as they met up on the way with other water wolves and finally managed to find their way to the edges of the desert, were Kane discovered them near a stream and invited them to join his pack. Within the pack these wolves in general are less traumatized, they have seen death but during most of the fight they hid. Which is why their group by this current time counts older wolves too. The female wolves in the pack adore Kaitou however, not as in being in love, but as in cute. When Kaitou was little he was afraid of water, so the water wolves aided in teaching him how to swim. Because of this many females tend to mother him a bit even if he hates it. Even the males aren't afraid to say he's adorable. So to them Kaitou can usually not do much wrong.

Vaati HahaoyaAs she was born, a blue crane materialized beside her, resting its wings across her small frame. His name was Oku. As her parents went through the ritual providing her with a spirit. She would often play by the lake's shore, splashing around, and teasing her dearest friend "Sticklegs." As she grew, her personality began to reflect Oku's own. She herself grew stricter and he taught her to use her head more. She went through harsh training and she would begin to pup-sit the younger members of the pack, becoming everyone's 'cool older sister' of sorts. When the Hero Clans attacked, Vaati helped herd most of the pups away as she herd the cries of her pack being slaughtered. She shoved them into the lake, diving in after them. She reached the bottom of the lake, sticking close to the young wolves around her as lightning crackled above the surface. Minutes turned to hours, and finally it all stopped. The youngest began to grow incapable of holding their breaths, and Vaati followed them up to the surface, staring in horror at the bodies littering the surface of the lake. She began to swim downstream alongside some of the surviving youngest. The pack was broken, but it still existed. They traveled for days until they reached the edge of a desert, as a a strange wolf approached them. Kane, he called himself. Vaati was untrusting of him at first, but they integrated himself with his group. The Ghost Pups. She stuck close to her younger wolves, making sure they were well fed and got their fill of water. She became a group commander, more of a mother than she had ever been. During this time she and some of the other females of the pack began to teach a frightened Kaitou how to swim. Oftentimes she'd pat him on the head with her paw, to his chagrin. Vaati enjoyed his company, seeing him as a son or a little brother of sorts.
OkuOku was granted as a summoning spirit to Vaati as she was born, becoming the babysitter of a mischievous little pup. Oku himself is well mannered and quite strict with a serious attitude. He often scouts ahead in the air to let Vati know if the surroundings are safe.

Sewa SojraBorn in a litter of two, Sewa grew very close to her litter-mate more than anything else. When their parents had a second litter, things changed. Sewa grew quite jealous of them, as her new siblings were with two but unlike her they were symbolized. Her parents who only recently learned how to grant summoning spirits, made it possible for this litter to have them. Because of this Sewa mistook it for favoritism. She began to pull all sort of stunts to gain attention including climbing on steep cliffs and wandering of on her own in the forest. This resulted in several scars in the end. Even if her siblings tried to tell her otherwise, she ended up distancing herself from them to caught up in her own bitterness. When the attacks of the Shadow Clans took place, Sewa quickly fended for herself ignoring her siblings who ended up following her. Her litter mate instructed Sewa to hide which she did, and that was the last time she saw her. A bit buried in guilt, realizing only her little brother survived, she became protective of him as they headed out to find others. Eventually traveling with some other survivors they reached Kane's hideout and became part of the pack as he invited them. There her new habit of caring for those younger grew as she became a pack watcher. She treats her brother a whole lot different now and keeps referring to Kaitou as a little brother as well, as she helped when teaching him how to swim. She feels a lot better now, but will give snappy responses if wolves talk about symbolism.

Eilonwy SojraEilonwy had been born into a litter of two. Having older sisters and loving parents. He was the only one of his siblings to be born with their grandmother’s color mutation. Nevertheless, he was treated just the same as the rest of his siblings. He spent most of his time in the water with his summoning, putting on shows of his aquatic acrobatic prowess for his family and anyone else who watched. When his pack was attacked, he and his litter-mate were frozen on the spot, unable to move. His litter-mate had summoned her Summoning to help fend off the attack, but it was one of his older sisters that came to the rescue, knocking the attacking wolf with her powerful tail and guiding Eilonwy and his litter-mate to the water to follow their other sister. The three dove as deep as they could and huddled at the bottom until the attack passed as their other silbing left in attempt to help others, at the same time Kaimana kept watching over the other three. When the attack was over and the siblings emerged from the water, they saw nothing but dead bodies, their parents among them. There wasn’t a sign of Eilonwy’s second older sister anymore. The siblings banded together with the rest of the survivors to travel. Eilonwy was absolutely overjoyed when Kane found the group and invited them all to join the pack. He now spends most of his time playing around in the water with Kaimana like he used to. When called for duty, he is usually sent on aquatic hunts as Kaimana’s abilities greatly aids him in the location and capture of prey.
KaimanaKaimana is nearly the complete opposite of her Summoner. Unlike her childish master, she is known to be very mature and serious. She often lightly scolds Eilonwy for using her gifts the way he does, but enjoys her time with him nonetheless, considering herself lucky that she wasn’t one of the many to be separated from her Summoner during the attack on his pack. She has a healthy relationship with Eilonwy and the two share a stable bond.

Anemone KanaAnemone has always been bubbly and optimistic. She loves caring for others and offering them support out of the good of her heart. She does everything in her power to make others feel better. Her parents were both merchants, profiting of trading their fish, which was argued to be some of the best of the island. To better achieve this goal, they decided to give their daughter a summoning before her birth to assist her while she fished. Anemone was taught how to fish when she was only a few months old, and she started off as a poor swimmer. Her summoning, Unrei, encouraged her to keep pushing herself to succeed despite her many failures, and she eventually proved to be a great swimmer and fisher. From that point on, she held the mentality that she would achieve her wishes if she just believed. When the Hero Clans attacked, her parents held off the Electric wolves, giving Anemone time to flee into their lake and dive as deep as possible. She held her breath for what felt like days, until she finally broke the surface. She hoped and prayed her parents would be fine. But, she was faced with the dead bodies of the wolves she knew and loved, torn and electrocuted. She was heartbroken, and was soothed by the other pups who managed to survive the attack. They fled to the desert, where Kane found them and invited them into his pack. From then on, Anemone kept her head high, trying to maintain her positive attitude and she eventually became her usual self, becoming peace maker in the result. When she needs encouragement, she will go to Unrei for support and guidance.
UnreiUnrei is a calm and collected cormorant bird who takes pleasure in fishing with his master. He’s wise in his judgement and likes to offer advice to Anemone whenever he deems it necessary, or if Anemone asks him to. He doesn't often display much emotion and really only displays the most extreme of them if he ever feels as such. He stays close to Anemone’s side and does his best to keep Anemone in high spirits as she keeps others in high spirits.

Bakki ShuyuAs a pup, Bakki spent almost all of his time underwater, swimming around. He was always a shy one. He didn't enjoy solitude and often felt lonely due to his shy nature. He was six years old when the Clans attacked. He only remembers the true fear that he felt as lightning whizzed through the ground, blinding him as he fell backwards into the lake. A gasping breath and he was beneath the lake's surface, curling up on himself in some reeds as he heard and felt the lightning as it struck through the water. The depths he was at stopped it from reaching him and the other wolves who had sought protection in the waters. He felt his chest burn as he realized that he needed air. Bakki had to gave in. And the sight that greeted him would forever scar him. Dead bodies floated all around, and blood littered the shoreline. The water had become a bloodbath. He and some other pups ran until they were able to meet up with other survivors following Vaati the oldest as their group leader. Bakki often has nightmares about the lightning ever since this happened. As the wolves reached the edge of the desert, Kane and the Ghost Pups invited them in. Bakki didn't complain, and obediently followed his pack. He hold a deathly fear towards Electric Wolves and storms in general, often seen whimpering at the sight or sound of them. He shows interest in learning more about the art of healing, desiring to help others rather than hurt them.

Suisei SeibutsuAs a pup, Sei watched her parents die in front of her, she only survived due to her older siblings taking her and her two brothers away. The small group traveled on their own, as the Shadow Clans quickly found her and her siblings, her being the only one to survive and get away. For days she was on her own slightly wounded and hungry, finding a river she attempted to find her way and staying hidden in the water for safety. She wandered until the Ghost pups found her and gave her a new home, living her life in a safer environment. It took her a bit to adjust and feel comfortable, but another wolf named "Sewa" aided her, as both were of the same age. Ever since she feels a lot more comfortable. She is quite friendly and enjoys having Kaitou around, as she attempts quite often to groom him.

Kishi CiralAs a pup, Kishi liked to act like an adult, which is why she receives the tittle "miss serious". Kishi was always serious, but playful among her family, she wanted to become a healer. But when the hero clans came, Kishi was with her mentor who yelled at her to go to the far back of the cave, as there was a huge hole that led to the lake where she could hide. Before she could a surprise attack got the better of them, Kishi received a light wolf's claws on the muzzle and a slice on her upper side. Kishi defended herself as well as she could, taking the chance to run away. She managed to escape and hide in the water. When she got back to the surface she noticed bodies floating in the water as blood was everywhere. She cried in distress as it was Vaati who found her and tried to comfort her. Traveling and reaching the edges of the desert, they ended up joining Kan's pack. She together with her summoning, are enjoying the life within Kane's pack now.
KwamiKishi's parents did the ritual for a summoning spirit for their daughter Kishi. They had used fur of a lake rodent. When the ritual was finish, Kwami appeared. Kwami was always around Kishi, who loved him so much which he didn't mind of course. They often swam in the lake playing around. When the attacks took place, Kishi was in such a panic she didn't even summon Kwami, which perhaps was for the better. She told him what happened, and in return he asked why she didn't call for him to help. To which panic was the only reason. Within Kane's pack, you can often seem him on Kishi's head. Always talking about healing and stuff. Kwami is never really called away unless Kishi goes to sleep, they are always near one another.

Lotan BarseAs a pup, Lotan was guarded by his summoning spirit "Kia". They had a very close bonding and Kia herself could enjoy the company of the fellow water snakes who served two other pups that were his litter-mates. As he grew older, he was usually around his summoning and quite the silent type. He prefered sticking with his summoning or siblings rather than any other pups. When the attacks of the Hero clans took place, Kia saved him by biting an electric wolf in the leg as the wolf held Lotan in his mouth. Kia's neurotoxic poison caused fatal hypertension as the wolf passed away giving both the time to swim as deep as possible for safety. Due to all the commotion Lotan was seprated from his parents, only to find them lined up and death upon diving back up when he couldn't hold his breath any longer. Vaati and Kaiyo who were leading survivors quickly aided him. It was here that he finally had to learn to interact with other wolves aside from his parents and siblings. He sadly never found his siblings anymore. As they all traveled, Kane who introduced himself to his group leaders invited them to join which they did. He now became a more open wolf as the wolves within the pack are his new family.
KiaKia is a rather small and cute looking creature. Her spirit took the shape of a Yellow lipped Sea krait. As small as she might look, she is extremely dangerous if she manages to bite her target. Releasing strong poison, any wolf would know better than to bother Lotan. Aside from that she is quite a social and friendly snake. Within the pack, she often seeks out Seth, as she and Shiseru (Seth's summoning), tend to enjoy each other as company. Having both been raised among young wolf pups who had snake spirits as well, Kia just like Shiseru misses the company of fellow snakes. This is rather odd seeing snakes are usually not social creatures to one another. But the raising of the wolves made them far more social than anything else.

Syren OmoshiAs a teen, Syren showed a lot of passion and competitiveness for swimming, often challenging other youngsters to races. Syren's parents died when he was very young, and so he was raised by the pack elders, his grandparents in particular. Due to this, even at a young age, Syren is considered quite wise. His grandparents had taken in an orphan found outside the border named "Coral". Having never had siblings, he grew quite fond of Coral, teaching her all he knew, treating her as a real sister. When the attacks took place, He dove into the water, but only after those younger than him managed to get in. Unfortunately, since he was last to jump in, he got a bit shocked by the electricity that surged through the water. He was far enough down that he only had a brief seizure before swimming off with the others. The effects of the shock did have permanent damage to his lower back, and he now walks with a bit of a limp, and still strongly prefers swimming to walking as sometimes his back aches. Surviving the attacks, he and other survivors traveled until Kane invited them to join. Thanks to Micaiha, his back doesn't hurt as often as it used to but he is still cautioned to be careful. He has a weakness to young pups, having a nurturing nature to them especially to Coral. He is not without mercy to his enemies, though he knows when to show mercy and when to just spare his enemies the suffering.

Coral OmoshiCoral had quite a rough start, as a pup she and her parents traveled around being part of a small group of water wolves. As the group was relaxing and sunbathing, Coral got a bit to curious being only 5 at the time. She saw a fish in a river and assumed it would be fine to try and get it, upon jumping in she had underestimated the current badly, as she was quickly finding it hard to swim. Trying to yell for help, the water in her mouth made it almost impossible. It wasn't hours later when she managed to get out, that she was extremely far away. To make matter worse, a family of Shatters were nearby. Being heavily aggressive small carnivores, they attacked her and driven her deeper in the forest were she collapsed. Before the critters could kill her, it was a scout of the Dark cities belonging to a water tribe that had found her. Saving her and taking her with to his pack for treatment. As she woke up she suffered from slight memory loss, not recalling the names of her group or parents. As the pack couldn't do much for her due to lack of information, it were Syren's grandparents who adopted her, as she closely bonded to Syren. At the age of 9, the Shadow clans attacked, she managed to dive down deep to avoid damage. Upon the surface Syren blocked her view as good as he could from all the blood and death. She was terrified but stuck close to him. Eventually she and the other survivors managed to find the desert and so became part of Kane's pack. She feels at home, and is loved by all. Learning how to become a healer.

Polu SutorimuPolu was a carefree pup always trying to get out of work and play with his summoning Parru. But when the attacks happened, Polu was to slow to get away. His summoning tried with all her heart to defend him, but was killed and cursed in the progress. She was a platypus, but more skilled in healing rather than fighting. This Curse left Parru to disappear forever. Paru was bitten to a point were he lost a part of his tail, as he was then left for death by the attacker of the Hero Clans. When Polu woke up, he was in a lot of pain, trying to summon Parru who didn't respond. Found by Kaiyo eventually, they nursed him back to health and traveled towards the desert becoming part of Kane his pack. Sonoke aided in reteaching him to swim again. He can't swim that well anymore but he still loves the water. Polu wants to become a healer, as the wolves who healed him inspired him greatly. He does suffer form depression, as lacking his summoning and tail caused him to feel truly bad. He misses Parru greatly.

Katyin SalilKatyin was born in a litter of two. As a symbolized wolf, she tend to act like an older sister to Sadira. It was a cute sight as both siblings were really close to one another. While Katyin wanted to become a healer, her sister was more interested to become a merchant. Life went great, until the attacks of the Hero Clan began. They were both to far away from the lake, so their safest choice was a hollow tree nearby. As they hid, they could see through the small cracks in the tree the bloodbath going on. Both were silent, as they saw it all happen. The harshest was when their parents were targeted. As the fight was over, both went to their death mother or what was left of her. They simply placed themselves down next to her, crying in her fur. Vaati was the one hearing their cries as she came quickly trying to comfort them. Both went with, as soon they all became part of Kane his pack. But what she all saw changed her completely, rather than becoming a healer and fixing wolves, she wanted to destroy them. She practiced to become a torturer together with her sister. Both are a deadly duo combined, nobody wants to be interrogated by her. Although she is kind to her friends, to her enemies she is like a demon.

Water 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.
