Vera's Vast & Veracious Adoption List - 0/16

Vorek Vozensky

Even though Vorek is new to Winsera currently, he is no stranger to how the world around him works. Vorek was born far away from Winsera in a land made for polar bears. He's seen his fair share of hardship and has suffered a great deal of pain and grief because of the actions of his family. The only living family that he has left include his father and brother.

Alexander

He is Vorek's father and is currently the acting king of the bears in Vorek's homeland. Alexander is not exactly the easiest bear to like and is extremely stubborn. It takes him a long time to change anything about himself.

After the birth of his first cub, Tanya, Alexander slowly learned to love his mate, Elena. When his sons, Vorek and Rurik, are born; Elena dies soon after. He probably takes the death of Elena much harder than anyone thought he would, himself included.

When Tanya is about to leave and start her own life, a new bear comes into the area and becomes the new king by killing the old one. The new king goes against the laws in the area and demands that every eligible female be brought before him. Alexander was very vocal against this because of his daughter. The new king decided to make an example of Tanya and force bred her publicly. This causes a civil war and Alexander becomes the new king. That same night, Tanya is murdered by assassins who curse the Vozensky name. This most likely changes Alexander is multiple ways that is up for whoever decides to grab him. Alexander stays king. His last act with Vorek anyway is to give his son and daughter-in-law permission to leave the realm to try and escape the curse.

If adopted, it would probably be best for Alexander to have retired as king (and gave up the throne to Rurik or was beaten in combat) and traveled to Winsera in search of Vorek (not knowing that Vorek's family was murdered).

Rurik

Rurik is Vorek's brother. The two siblings have always been close. They both grew up without their mother but was ultimately raised by their father and older sister, Tanya. When the new king comes into power and forces himself onto Tanya, the siblings are probably outspoken about it just like their father was. Rurik does not hesitate to join their father in the civil war to follow and is proud when his father becomes the new king by killing the tyrant.

When Tanya is murdered, Rurik most likely will take this hard not just because of losing his sister but also the bear who was basically a mother to Vorek and Rurik. Both brothers do not take the curse seriously at all and Rurik falls in love with his future mate. She is murdered by assassins and in his rage and grief, Rurik attacks the first bear he comes across who happens to be his sister-in-law, Calina. It is up to the adopter if Rurik does any harm to her or anything like that. But Vorek sees this and the two brothers have a massive fight. Rurik ends up blinded in one of his eyes.

This could be the last thing that happened between the two brothers or there could be more. How Rurik handles the loss of one of his eyes is completely up to the adopter. His personality is also completely up the RPer to the point where if he/she feels like Rurik never attacked Calina because it goes against his personality then that is perfectly acceptable. But Vorek and Rurik do fight and Rurik is blinded in one eye as a result of that fight. As far as what Rurik has been up to since Vorek and his family left is completely up to the RPer.

Possible ideas for why Rurik is in Winsera: Alexander is sick and sent Rurik to find Vorek and his family, Rurik has followed Vorek from the beginning right after Vorek left (which would be interesting because then that would mean that Rurik saw Vorek's family murdered AND Vorek massacring the assassin group responsible), Rurik could be tracking down the assassins (and the person who hired them and therefore trying to figure out who put a curse on them to begin with) which leads him to Winsera, or maybe Alexander died and Rurik does not want the throne and is looking for Vorek to claim it, or he could even hate Vorek so badly that he seeks vengeance, or any other ideas or a combination of these.

I would personally really love it if Rurik was adopted. He could make for a very interesting character regardless of his personality plus he could add a depth to the site and a LOT of different plot ideas that do not even have to involve Vorek.

Assassins

These characters were hired by a character (or small group of characters) to kill any and all of the Vozensky line. This does not have to be their only mission and it would be interesting to see if these assassins come from a single group or if the character who hired them hired multiple individual contract assassins. Plus who doesn't want to play an assassin? I bet Satan could use an assassin or two...

Kara

Kara is very removed from her family and is not very close to her parents. She also does not have any siblings. While she loves her parents, she needs to be on her own and conducting her research away from the ocean surrounding Winsera.

---

Possible Ideas

Anyone who is interested in making someone for Kara could possibly make one of her parents. Someone could make like a childhood friend who could be missing Kara enough to find Kara. Someone could even make a mate for Kara, if the creature could figure out a way to get Kara away from her research long enough.
