Season
Right now, the season is autumn. Orange, yellow, and red leaves litter the ground of The Forest. Trees are beginning to lose their branches and the sun shines brightly through the canopy. It's hotter than usual, and it has been raining a lot.

Intro
You thought that our island was only ever inhabited by wolves. That wolves were here from the beginning. Well, you'd be wrong. May 1840 was when the humans arrived mistakenly at E'teal. They were escaped clockwork ruffians -- those who could only make money but keeping clocks intact. Anyway, there were three of them. One who dedicated himself to working with oak, one who dedicated himself to working with bronze, and one who dedicated himself to working with silver. The woodworker was exceptionally more lawful than his allies. He believed not in thieving fine bronze and silver from other's hard work, but cutting logs of oak from trees himself. You may be wondering where the wolves were from, at this point. Well, these men stole several wolves from the places they were incarcerated in back in their town. The three desired wolves so that they could, at least hopefully, transform themselves into werewolves with the bite. They wanted to create a more 'superior' race of this island. However, when their test failed, they were stranded on the island with a supply of silver, bronze, and oak that they had no use for. Now, they didn't need it to train the wolves. Alas, they set the wolves free and set to getting rid of their supplies. They began building a clock tower. The base was made of carefully logs of wood. There was so much of the oak on E'teal that his allies demanded he build the foundation. So he did. The circle of the clock was forged of bronze, and the hands and numbers were formed of silver. Those wolves that were released -- there were ten of them. Two (Jennezia and Lexer) ran off to the other side of the island to avoid human contact. But let's not get into their story, yet. The other eight went elsewhere. One became king of the others and the wolf population began escalating. Meanwhile, the clock tower was finished and the three lawbreakers had died. However, the king -- Neg -- was now creating a more 'superior' race. A pack of wolves.

 |  Subject: Fae & Brute - Two commonly missued words  Sat Apr 27, 2013 5:52 pm | |
| 1. ‘Fae’ is not a word. It is not a word to describe the female gender. FAE (as an acronym) is a heat-seeking missile. So unless one's character is a weapon, you might as well be calling your lady a weaponized hunk of metal for all the good it will do!
2. ‘Brute’ is not a gender word restricted to male organisms. It is not a gender word at all, in fact. Rather, it is a descriptive word. Here is the definition of the word brute from Dictionary.com: - Quote :
brute
Noun
1. A nonhuman creature; beast
2. A brutal, insensitive, or crude person
3. the animal qualities, desires, etc., of humankind: Father felt that rough games brought out the brute in us.
Adjective
1. animal; not human.
2. not characterized by intelligence or reason; irrational.
3. characteristic of animals; of brutal character or quality.
4. savage; cruel: brute force.
5. carnal; sensual
Turns out, brute can be used to describe both masculine and feminine aspects of an individual. Just as a male can be considered feminine over masculine, if his characteristics demand as such.
If you happened to be a user of these words in the wrong context, don't worry: you are not alone. Like any trend, most people see others using these terms, and naturally conclude that they are correct and/or acceptable. Monkey see, monkey do, right? If one didn't go look up the words for them-self, how would they ever know the real usage?
Here are some alternate words you could use: The..
She-wolf
Male
Female
Wolf (yes, its not a bad thing to just say “the wolf”. In fact, its quite an accurate statement.)
Canine
Beast
Animal
Quadruped (lol)
Creature
Girl
Lass
Boy
Lad
Youngster
Elder
Adult
Lady
Bloke
Chap
Stud (iffy for canines)
Sire (also iffy)
As an enthusiastic writer, is pains me to see people incorrectly using them terms all over the place. If you, in fact, are one of those people, don't take offense! As I said previously: Many wolf roleplayers use the terms. All in all, try not to use fae and turn brute down a notch. Feel free to try some of the words I listed above! | |
