Title: Packs
Post by: KitsuneFue on May 07, 2008, 07:46:28 AM
This may sound odd, but I have a "pack" of sorts. We're not all the same type of entity, but we find solace in the fact that there are others like us in nature. My "pack" is five in number, including myself. We consist of a Procyon lotor therian, a Vulpes vulpes therian, a vampire, a demoniac, and a doppleganger.

I was just wondering if any of you have a "pack". I'd love to hear about your experiences.

I feel like a part of a pack with my friends. even though most of them don't understand & aren't like us. I feel towards them like a pack member would, I would fight for them & i feel for them. it's one of the most comforting feeling. I have very strict rules about personal space but they do not apply once you are a part of my pack. With those in my pack I actually feel the need for contact, touch, closeness.

*smiles at Raz* Ha ha, funny. A doppleganger doesn't have an "other self" to kill. A doppleganger can will themselves to be however they want. And I was the only were in my pack for a long time, but then I discovered a new friend and through time, I noticed they were a bit different... He realized what he was a long while back, but it wasn't until he met my friends and I that he realized he wasn't crazy.

I used to, but they were all normal people, I think. It was before I realized I might be different. Sadly, I could only hang out with them a little bit before school. But it was the total highlight of my entire day. n_n

I'm in a pack that I just made last friday. My Brother has had this experience and ever since he said he felt different. Also our friend is in the pack. She thinks she's a vamp, she loves blood and wants to bite alot. So only 3 members, but its a pack....

I was in a pack a few years ago, but sadly i had to move and therefor had to leave my packmates behind. I am still in contact with one though, the 'Alpha' if you wish to address her as was/is a werewolf like myself.

Now though, i'm in a sort of new pack. There is seven of us, me included. I'll use there nicknames.

Tal, she's part French. Not so much of a werewolf as she is a Vampire.

Nai, she's from India i think. Doesn't speak very much, but when she does it's interesting and worth listening to. She's not a werewolf, but a witch. Powerful and very kind actually.

The last female pack member, Soph, is a native Northern Ireland kid like myself and Tal. But Soph is a vampire to. Pale skin and killer eyes.

There are three more as well, three males.

Mike, who is tall with freakishly curly hair and from N.Ireland as well. I think he's old Frankenstein's Son, but he says he's a vampire.

Ryan, my height and wears glasses. From N.Ireland to. I think he told me that he was a wizard, but with his Personality you'd think he was Doctor Jekyll and Mr Hyde.

and Dylan, taller than Mike and myself and from N.Ireland also. He is random, and crazy, and totally insane. Which is why i like him i guess, as i friend i mean. He's a werewold as well.

So whats that? three Vampires, a Witch, a Wizard and two Werewolves.

Packs? Doesn't that only count for wolves and such?
Anyway, I used to be in a group of friends that 'believed' in the occult... But most were interested in it because of the game D&D.
1, the alpha, if you like to call it like that, was a powermad genious xD Though he wasn't smart on school level he had some vicious plans...
I, myself, was somewhat a beta and an omega, being the last to join the group.
But my voice weighed deeply on the 'alpha'... Where also I was the only person he didn't pick on, so yea xD

But I wouldn't call them a pack... Mostly because we didn't hang out much.

Edited out because it's not true anymore

I may not be a werewolf. But I never liked these packs, they seem to think they can take matters into their own hands and stuff. To me they are just another gang of bums who think they are something strong when really the Feds can just wipe them out. But then again all the packs ive met have been ass holes who hate humans for no reason

I have a pack, we are an interesting mix. Few wolf were's, a tiger, bat, maned wolf, snake, coyote, even a vampire, i believe we have a fox but he isn't around to much anymore. Even a few humans.

A pack is anyone that you accept close to you. That you can lean against and not have it mean anything more than comfort. A group of persons you can come to for anything and they can some how always make your day better. You're a family, though not always blood related.

Yes, everyone in the world is weird in their own way.

I'm a lonely wolf  :-( it's not fun being a wolf with no one to talk to about it.


I'm in denial of all my former packmates. One of them I guess was just playing, but my brother had an interesting experience. He said when he woke in the middle of the night to find someone was grabbing him but no one was there, and ever since then he's felt different. My friend's sister thinks she's a vampire, and sometimes she goes crazy but I know it's fake.
Title: Re: Packs
Post by: Aniyu on February 22, 2010, 08:26:08 AM
When people say i'm weird i like to smile and ask them to define normal.

It is sad to be the only one around. Lucky for me i'm not. There are several of us where i live.

I was alone for quite some time. Its a lonely existence. As wolves we are social beings and its very nice to have someone to talk to about problems that others either can't or refuse to understand.
You'll find someone like us. We're uncommon yes, but we're out there.
Title: Re: Packs
Post by: Erin_wolf on February 25, 2010, 03:24:59 PM
I'd hesitate to use the word weird. I mean , what's normal changes. It's simply the most common. We're just not common.


There is a possibility that some people at my school could be therians, they just haven't awakened.

I feel really jealous towards those therians that say they have friends that are therians.


I'm a lonely wolf  :-( it's not fun being a wolf with no one to talk to about it.

seems to be the downside of being therian. there's just not alot of us around. It'd be nice to be able to talk to another wolf therian face to face , but im the only one in my school , where i live... sucks.

I can whole heartily agree with that.

If it is a true feeling within yourself that others cannot understand you can only bend your will to meet their vision or ignore the fact that don't see what you do and try elsewhere.

Not saying you should shun people or one person is always right. I'm just pointing out that you can only change yourself so much to identify yourself with other people up till you can't bend anymore.

By that time its either find happiness with other people or admit your happy lying to yourself.

When you do find people one by one that you no longer have to "bend" yourself around them. Then you have a pack.

lmao. If packs were the same as a family that would be inbreeding, outsiders are welcome.

Post by: matthew321 on August 25, 2010, 08:53:56 AM
Dragons also don't go boasting the fact they are dragons. Even mentioning that they are or could be a dragon would be a boast.  They are a race of anonymity and solitude. I have never known anyone to actually admit they are a dragon, but maybe that is changing now.

Anyway dragons can have a family but they do not travel or live in packs. However a group of dragons may decide to live in relative proximity of each other for mutual interest. Keep in mind relative proximity changes when you have wings. Even if they are living near each other there is still little interaction.
So I am reinforcing your point that dragons do not really go for packs.

I would not say I have a pack just a group of friends with like minded ideals. Whether I want to call it a nest, pack, or family does not change my look at it one bit.

There are many people who want to not be human or role play as something else because that is a new fad. I am not accusing anyone here of that but it is getting annoying, I hear people all the time that think they aren't human because of one "weird" trait.

Okay my main goal was to give my two cents about dragons, i'm done.

I have a vary small pack of female humans, I'm the only werewolf in the pack. I'm the Alpha of the pack, but their is one that is trying to take my place as the next female Alpha. She will not win unfortantly for her, being human and no mussle on her bones. I would like to get atleast some werewolves so I wouldn't be so lonely :(
Title: Re: Packs
Post by: Rocket on July 27, 2011, 06:26:09 PM
I have sort of given up on pack life, it wasn't working out.

They all knew each other before I joined the pack, so I was like an Omega - the new one, the one no one knows yet, the one everyone could push about a little. So it was easier dislodging me from the new pack than it was my old pack.

I still stay in frequent touch with my Alpha from my first pack, which just includes the two of us now. She's definitely the Alpha, and I guess that makes me the Beta once again - just like old times.

What a sad bunch of lonely delusional children. A pack is, for wolves in the wild, little more than a nuclear family. For those who don't know what that is, it consists of a mommy, a daddy, and their puppies. It's not a bunch of delusional yet like minded morons who band together to hang out at the mall or other such spots to talk about how "not human" they are. Friends are just friends. They are okay to have around, but they're never the same as family. My wife, my son, and my two dogs are my "pack" or, simply, family. A friend could never even get close to replacing any one of them. Of course this is all just my opinion.

manners please... wolve packs do tend to exist out of more than just a mommy a daddy and their pups... but they are indeed usually family (nephews, cousins, nieces, uncles and aunts too). I do find your choices of words disturbing... anyway I'm not sure if it falls within the borders of the rules, I'dd have to check it... But I agree, someone has been watching too much Twilight or smth like that or has a little fantasy in their heads that they think is truth...

@ Lady_wolf... we do NOT work that way, alpha's in human terms are those that take charge and can make others follow them, they are either intimidating or real leaders... pure strength does not cope to be a pack leader...

If you are going to make a post like this one, do us and yourself a favor. Get your facts straight. A mother, father and babies....for f**cks sakes havent you ever seen a nature program? That is all it takes anyone to have done to know you havent a clue as to what you speak of. Im not saying I compleatly disagree with everything you stated, but damn! How can you expect anyone to listen to you after proving you know nothing at all about Wolf packs???  In A Thread About Packs!!! Think about it!!

"Pack" is more of a family for me. Not necessarily blood family but, for lack of a better term, "spirit/soul" family. And even though I'm pretty sure Hati is gone, everyone is right. A traditional wolf pack does consist of relatives but is in no way simply "mom, dad, puppies" if this were true not only would fewer males be born into litters, there would not be enough new genetic material entering the bloodline to keep it going past a few generations. Do your research & you will find that like most pack animals, at sexual maturity or shortly before, most younger males go off on their own.  They start their own packs by recruiting females away from their current pack. Some males do remain behind or join other existing packs. Packs frequently, or at least used to, number upwards of 30 at times.

Exactly, upwards of 30! I'm glad Hati is gone (if he is :roll:), he offended me, my pack is more together than me and my *real* family right now! We're so close, It's also a running joke that the other two should get together since we already have one lycan couple in our pack, how do you think a Vamp-Raccoon couple would work out!!  *<:)

I hear you Draco! Apparently Were's are really rare in Minnesota (and the Virgin Islands)...where me and my FIANCEE respectively come from...my pack is kind of odd, there's only three of us "animalistic ones" (two Were's and one Therian) and two Sang Vamps, the pack grew before it split up...but we're still spiritually together, despite being spread across the US, Canada, and (soon to be) Caribbean.

My Vamp friend Amanda married another Vamp named Jo and moved back to her home, Montreal, and my Racoon-Therian friend Dom is engaged a "normal" gal named Sam and lives in LA now...Me and Lexie are now engaged too, and expecting a baby, we live in Minneapolis right now, but will likely be moving to San Juan in a year...

If I'm not being weird or inappropriate...Maybe you can find a girl Therian if your not already involved with someone? Ever since my pack split up, it's kinda fun being a rogue Were couple for me and Lexie... :-P We totally howled together to the song "Bad Romance" together down the I-35 today, for no reason except it was fun! Amanda would have kept us quite or just to singing and Dom can't stand Gaga, but we did what we wanted! :evil: You'd have the support of another Therian in your case, it would cure the feeling of loneliness...it's a win-win...

Good thing we created our own forum, huh?

There's one secret about co-Were relationships, it's the same as with real wolves...the female Were always leads :wink:

Title: Re: Packs
Post by: LeXtruX on August 11, 2012, 01:03:46 PM
actually it does count, in nature it's usually the same race, but as we are all in body humans it's still the same, just our souls are different, it has nothing to do with knowing once soul form or heritage... it's about getting things done together, not only hanging out with eachother. It's about conquering your problems with those close to you and the other way around, helping eachother survive.
That is the core of a pack, flock, school, etc etc
Animals (and humans) pack together to raise the chances of survival. :)
flocks and schools (not an educational school, but like fish) use it to increase survival from predators, whereas packs, like wolves, use it to use hunting strategies.
Human groups are kind of an inbetween as we used strategies to hunt but also formed groups to intimidate predators and in the worst case allowing more of the group to get away.

Title: Re: Packs
Post by: LeXtruX on March 15, 2013, 05:35:32 PM
Ok, let's go over this again...being an alpha of more than 1 pack isn't really something that is possible, especially when 1 of those packs is in the virtual world, called the internet...
The main core of a pack is that you don't need outsiders to get things done, you do accept newcomers, but in the end, being in a pack is where you and your friends don't need other groups to enjoy life, get through personal problems or get other things done... the moment people talk about being in more than 1 pack I try to tend to read it is: I have more than 1 circle of friends I hang out with that have similar interests...
But assuming that both packs are indeed the real deal, you are kind of going against the main purpose of a pack
