This is just a basic outline for all the packs. Your wolf does not have to conform to every detail, but it would be nice if they could be identified as a member of their respective pack.
The Moon Pack;;
Founder: Korachir the White
Current Alphas:
General Info: The Moon Pack is known best for their fun-loving natures and close-knit relationships. Founded by Korachir the White, the Moon Pack's morals have remained virtually unchanged over time; put family before all else and never go against the fragile balance of nature.
Moon wolves are known for their spiritualism, seeing the moon itself as a deity and turning to it for guidance in times of need. Their medicinal skills are unmatched.
General Personality: Bitter wolves in this pack are a rarity and generally Moon Pack wolves are friendly, patient, very caring and very family-oriented. They are best known for their romantic passion and arts. (i.e. storytelling, songs)
Combat Style: Although combat is not their strongest trait, Moons utilize unusual fighting practices. The style seems to be more of an impish, dirty fighting that involves a lot of sand-kicking and cocky nipping at tails to distract opponents. With their saintly patience, they often bide their time until their opponent has worn themselves out before dealing a single, powerful strike.
Common Appearance: Having evolved to live near the water, Moons have large, webbed paws and waterproof coats that are commonly lighter in color and range from dark to light brown, cream, red and gray. Solid colors (ex. white, black) are uncommon. Eye colors are normally cool hues such as blue, green or silver. Their bodies can be rather stocky and muscular, but different builds are not uncommon.

The Bat Pack;;[/b]
Founder: Fenrir the Gray
Current Alphas:
General Info: The Bat Pack are quite different from their Moon brethren. They are very aloof creatures, more wise and scholarly than their neighboring coastal pack. Founded by Fenrir the Gray himself, each of these wolves hold themselves with pride. Often this pride can be mistaken for arrogance.
Being slightly more militaristic than their neighbors, a Bat wolf will commonly refer even to direct family as their "commrade" rather than, for example, their sibling or cousin.
Valuing knowledge and honor above all else, it's not uncommon for a Bat wolf to be hurt or killed either protecting their honor or the honor of a commrade.
General Personality: Bat wolves are easily the most regal of the four packs. Even the pups hold an air of elegance about them, and despite living in the swamps, the Bat wolves are indeed very intellectual.
They aren't as careless and hyper as their Moon neighbors, but when Bats unwind, they can certainly be the life of the party. Most of the time, though, they're quiet and reserved, keeping opinions and even advice to themselves until they deem it an appropriate time to speak. Though they tend to be prideful and a bit snobbish due to their "Legacy", the Bat Pack is made up of truly genuine wolves who are taught early on to be respectful, noble and polite.
Combat Style: Living in secluded swamps and everglades has given the Bat wolves uncanny, fluid stealth. They stick to the shadows, striking only when an opportunity arises. This style is based more on patience and speed with rapid attacks that, unfortunately, leave their deffenses very weak compared to other wolves. What they lack in defense, they double in speed and stealth, so the Bats are anything but weak creatures.
Common Appearance: Their surroundings, again, play a part in the appearance of Bat wolves. A lithe, graceful figure is common for both males and females, both also having somewhat short tails and wide paws to prevent sinking into the mud.
Common coloring includes dark shades of gray, dust and brown with the occasional cream or tawny coloring. Lighter colors can often prove dangerous for the wolves they paint. Common eye colors are green, brown and orange.

The Steel Pack;;[/b]
Founder: Edelle the Shadow
Current Alphas:
General Info: The Steel pack is easily the most feared of all. Hardships in the mountains turned these wolves into cold-blooded devils. Where once they were among the most passionate, the Steels are now ruthless creatures that mothers tell stories about to misbehaving pups.
While they are largely unpleasant, there are the occasional few who have to draw the line at some point in regards to morals.
General Personality: Cold, spiteful and suspicious, Steels normally live very unhappy lives in the mountains. Rocky life for a canine is difficult and these challenges have molded the Steels into indifferent, sometimes temperamental, wolves. Truly villainous with little respect for life, even their own.
Combat Style: Brutal and savage, Steels are taught to fight from a young age when they must fight for dominance over their siblings in order to survive. They favor a ruthless stragetical assault, using their unusually sharp claws and powerful jaws to rip and shread any part of an enemy they can get a good hold of. For all this strength they actually have only moderate defense, spending more time training in offensive maneuvers rather than defensive.
Common Appearance: Their bodies are large and their legs are much longer than a common wolf's with long toes and sharp claws to help them climb the rocks in an almost catlike way. For all this bulk, they are certainly heavy creatures. Their facial features tend to be slightly rounded and their coloring ranges from black to brown with mixtures of tawny and dust. Eye colors are commonly red, orange and yellow/gold.

The Tundra Pack;;
Founder: Nyx the Blizzard
Current Alphas:
General Info: The Tundra Pack, founded by Nyx, is the pack that holds the most bravery and determination. Living in the frozen wastes brings out a hunger for advancement and success. Little is known about this enigmatic pack other than they are among the most hardy wolves in the four packs.
General Personality: Commonly thought to have the hearts of bears beating within their chests, these wolves are passionate and tricky most often. It is said that their trickery could hold its own against that of a fox and their sharp tongues can give a lashing even a Steel would be proud of.
Combat Style: Physically they not the strongest, but having learned to manipulate tools in battle such as rocks and icicles, they can be very challenging opponents. Rocks are normally dropped or kicked from high places and icicles can be knocked from their bases in order to impale or, at the very least, cut the enemy. Unfortunately, these objects are not often present and can be very imprisice.
Common Appearance: Living on the ice makes their most common pelt colors white, gray and cream with occasional dustings of black. They're very stocky wolves with extremely thick coats that protect them from the harsh conditions of the tundra. Similarly to their Steel cousins, Tundras have slightly rounded features, almost looking like small bears. Common eye colors are blue, silver and yellow/gold.
