'thul's story project...

['thul]

currently the material is mostly appendix.

Here's one of the character concepts, one of those people that will be in charge of things.
He's part of the forest-dwelling species of humans known as the packs, leading much of their society. Personally he is of the "wolven" subspecies, a mago-genetic trait that pops up on irregular basis, where those with such traits grow up to slightly resemble wolves.

[spoiler=Wulg – Scarpan of Eingalninga]
Wulg was born to the Otunna pack of the Eingalninga forest, in the region known as Einganglen. To the great pride of his parents, his strong layer of fur indicated the promise of his being born to be wolven, As is common to the packs, he was raised with close interaction with that year's litter of wolf puppies. Early in his fifth year, the transformation was a certainty. He had by then begun to grow a tail and the fur had expanded to cover not just his spine and extremities, but also his shoulders, neck and parts of his chest. His ears were decidedly pointed by his seventh year, and covered in a thin fuzz.

Like many other Wolven, his eyes had turned from a pale blue to a bright yellow, and allow him to see well at night. Unlike other Wolven, he quickly aspired not just to aiding his pack, but to lead the other Wolven and packs. During his fifteenth year, he became a Bjarkan, the leading Wolven in the local packs. Within four years, he had aspired to becoming one of six Raplan, leader for an entire section of the forest and guiding four Bjarkan and leading no less than thirty-seven different packs. Now, four years later, he has become the Scarpan, supreme Alpha of the entire Eingalninga Forest. When he issues commands to the packs of the forest, they all obey.
As he grew older, his body slowly covered itself in a thick layer of fur. Because of the purity of his Wolven traits, Wulg has even got a slight snout. Where the Settled make importance of the dress of their leaders, Wulg's clothes do not differ much from other Wolven. He wears simple short leggings remodeled to not conflict with his stout tail, a strong leather belt, and a simple cross-harness across his chest, to which he keeps a pair of strong daggers attached. His arms, legs and chest are all heavily muscled, and there's no doubt that he is a powerful Wolven, though he wears nothing to indicate his true rank. It is all in his bearing and voice.

Personality:
Noble, self-sacrificial and proud warrior. Highly uncertain of females of any species, human or otherwise. His inexperience on this front is his greatest weakness. The differences between males and females intrigue him, but he has no idea how to approach females, and is somewhat afraid of bungling up if he does try.[/spoiler]

The names used will typically be attempts at avoiding any connections to common naming structure. Families may tend to use similar names for their children.
Ranks and locations are either made up of gibberish, or inspired from old norse words and phrases. For example, the rank "Bjarkan" can be translated to "birch", It is essentially repurposed.

Feel free to criticize the character. Its not been proof-read or rethought much...
