The New Dawn
Welcome to the New Dawn.
Welcome to our site, to our world, and our home.
A world of Shifters, magic, and what is unseen.
A world in which you can love, you can hate,
A world in which you must fight to live
In this world, we may dream
We may create
We may desire
We may fear
Or we may live and die.
Do not fear us
Do not disregard us.
Do not hide
Fore the world in which we live
It calls.
We pride ourselves in our members and the content in which we all contribute into. What is this content you ask? A world that has been built around many different principles and ideas. It is in this particular category that you'll find everything that you need in order to know the lore and the idea behind the site in itself. Before I get into any of the actual lore and set up of the site, I would like to direct new comers a few different places and make a few things clear.
Our rules will not be in this particular board, but instead you may find them here. Please refer to them if this is what you came here for.
Now, I would also like to clarify that boards that will be listed as.
"Deep Lore" will be lore that surround the site that isn't quite well known. If this is the case, few people will know it and many people might deny it.
"Character Lore" will be centered around characters that have been made well known throughout the area in which we roleplay.
"Location Lore" will obviously be centered around particular locations.
"Pack Lore" is centered around packs that are either in roleplay or out of roleplay in order to get a better sense of the world around us.
Any other thing of note: We are not a kid friendly site!
Blood, gore, foul language, violence, and other mature themes are found on this site. This is dependent on the roleplayer, and this factor will not be stopped as we are a creative site. If a child joins this site against our knowledge, we are not at fault for what is being read or roleplayed in public or privately. We follow the rules of our host site, but once again, we are a mature forum. I recommend at least 15+ for most members.

Welcome to the New Dawn website, a site that is made up of family.

Now, onto the topic that this thread will cover: an Overview.
Our site is a multi-group roleplaying site in which everyone can roleplay out the lives of characters, and in certain situations, their deaths. We always welcome new comers, and we are willing to help people who have never roleplayed in their lives. We are open to all different levels of experience as long as you are literate and follow the site's rules. Preferably, we like our members to speak in English while roleplaying.
This site features three main groups, as well as several other groups that will be covered in different locations. As for these three main groups, which will be covered in more depth later, are:
The New Dawn: A Wolf Shifter pack, exclusive to wolves only. They are a 'baby' pack in the site's history but they are highly notorious for their association with Rogues through their splinter group, the Outsiders. They are known as a healer pack with a large number of healers but few warriors or other ranks. They're the unstable ones out of the three, but were the first pack to penetrate the Deadlands and claim a stake.
Alpha: Azalea Cobert (Azalea)
Betas: Ventia Black (Ventia) and Jashua Cobert (Decoii)
Gamma: Quinn Mayberry (Quinn)
The Nightstar: A Shifter group that allows any form of shifter to join. They are a dead pack that was literally revived from the dead. Now their pack lays in their old lands just north of the New Dawn. There's not much known about this pack other than the fact that they are extremely close knit and some of the most gruesome and insane people come from this pack
Alphas: Maria Everett (Azalea) and Adewale Scott (Quinn)
Betas: Andrew Smith (@jewel) and Xandrea Thomas (Eliora
Gamma: None.
Rogues: Rogues are one of the main antagonists of all packs. They had this do or die mentality and are typically hostile as the world they live in is hostile. Some want peace and will join packs as a result but some enjoy that life and will always be rogues. They have two locations they haunt and that's the Deadlands and Neutral Territory.
No ranks.
Anyone can make a character and join any of these groups, but we also allow exceptions outside of what the Character Rules state, but those are only available upon request. Allowance of these exceptions is at the sole discretion of Azalea, the admin of the site. These exception characters are usually listed under an 'Other' category.
The premise of these packs is simple: We must stick together to stay alive, and we must not be found out by the humans.
Humans are clueless to any supernatural activity in this world, and it's preferred to stay that way. They are violent beings that don't take too kindly when they're not on top of the food chain according to our site lore. Breaking this unspoken code of conduct in roleplay is liable for other characters to attempt to kill your character. Keep this in mind.
Add onto the fact that shifters are constantly trying to kill other shifters for one reason or another, the shifters follow a tribe like pattern with their 'Packs', and each pack follows it's own laws, Shifters are highly unpredictable and violent. This world is dangerous, so be prepared.
We follow our own time line and seasons. Each of these can be found in our News feed up above
As for a site setting: There is none. We live in our own little nook of reality, and the geography of the area will be discussed in the Pack Lore areas. It is important to note that this is not a totally fictional world, but it is probably best to think of it as an alternate earth- where some area's are undeveloped but cities stand still and there is still a more modern world while the shifters are stuck in the past, in a little protected bubble. This bubble is found in forested and mountainous areas, allowing the shifters to progress as they please.
If there are any questions beyond this, please message Azalea for more details. If your question is important enough, information will be added as a result.
