Wild Bloods

Over the course of millennia the origins of the Wild Bloods have been twisted and distorted. What once was a blessing given to those who helped Numeria protect the land had turned into a curse casted upon those who needed to be punished for their actions. The red moon in the sky, once symbolizing a time of hubris and a lesson to remind those that they are in fact different from their inner beasts, now resembled a night of carnage and blood, a time to show that they are no better than their inner beast's wildest desires.

Numeria has noticed though. And has sent a leader to show what being a Wild Blood truly is. Let her bless you with a lineage; Reptile, Bear, Cat, Wolf, or Avain. Learn how the beast and you resemble each other. Grow with your lineage, and show the world what Wild Bloods once were.

## Backstory

### In the Past

Throughout the ages, there have been men and women who have angered the land to such a degree that they were hunted down to repay for what they had done. Instead of death, these men and women were cursed to become that which they hated. Great cats that stalked the shadows, mighty reptiles that feared no beast or man, fearsome bears with roars that shook the ground, and powerful wolves whose strength came from the pack. These men and women fought the curse, month after month, year after year, until slowly, they evolved with it.

### Current Date

Originally known as Numeria’s Wild Hunters, Wild Bloods have existed upon Averion since the Guardians fought for mankind’s life upon the land.  This band of skilled hunters, trackers, and fighters fought by Numeria’s side protecting those of the land from the Plague’s dangers.  So committed to this fight were they that Numeria gifted each with an aspect of the beasts they related to the most. No longer were they tied to swords, bows, and axes.  It was claws, teeth, wings, and talons they fought with now. Shifting at will these hunters became a true Pack to vanquish those that threatened it.

## Notable Characters

### The Council

As thousands of years passed, Wild Bloods were seen in a different light. No longer were they just ordinary people who understood the true meaning of being wild. They were now seen as the beasts themselves. Dangers to society. Unpredictable as to when they would lash out at those for simply living. It was because of this new perception that The Council took up Numeria’s mantle. Individuals from each lineage who represented their own. They gave guidance, the gift, and discipline to those who deserved it. For thousands of years they led the Wild Bloods of Symia and The Northern Fens into what they are today. As of today, The Council remains in The Northern Fens. They are as follows: Gra’Wuul the Reptile Leader, Irmuska the Bear Leader, Tristan and Trinity the Canine Wolf Leaders, Crescent Moon the Cat Leader.

### Syvis Dorren

With Numeria’s voice once again reaching ears, she has sent a new leader to aid the Wild Bloods in Dar’len and in the Kingdom of Velkus. Someone who is not clouded by what Wild Bloods have become. Someone who will help new bloods learn their lineage. Someone that will reinstill her lessons and values.

## Lineages

Which lineage will Numeria bestow upon you? Which beast will she see inside of you?

### Reptile

Savageness and Fury. The Reptile embodies those who have a primal desire of carnage and savagery. When The Wild Horn blows, they will become their inner beast and will attack the closest person/thing no matter if it is friend, family, significant other as reptiles feel no family bond or love for one another.

### Bear

Power and Brute Strength. The Bear embodies those with primal desire to fight and defend. When The Wild Horn blows, they will become their inner beast and will attack the closest person/thing unless it is a cub (adoptive kids/anyone they view as their own cub) as bears are solitary creatures and do not take kindly to those in their territory.

### Wolf

Unity and Fierceness. The Wolf embodies those with the primal desire to work together and protect their pack. When The Wild Horn blows, they will become their inner beast and will attack the closest person/thing unless it is a significant other or their family due to wolves mating for life/their pack is their strength.

### Cat

Independence and Lethality. The Cat embodies those with the primal desire to protect themselves and strike with precision. When The Wild Horn blows, they will become their inner beast and will attack the closest person/thing unless it is a cub ((adoptive kids/anyone they view as their own cub) as cats do not often have loyalty to anyone or anything.

### Avian

Awareness and Agility. The Avian embodies those with the primal desire to watch and stay ahead. Once thought to be a deadline, Numeria has breathed life into it again. When The Wild Horn blows, they will become their inner beast and will attack the closest thing/person unless it is a mate (spouse/partner) as birds will fiercely defend their mate and nest from any that dare try to intrude on it.
