It's the end of the 19th century and the end of an era. Humankind begins to expand into Mother Nature's domain, leading to disastrous consequences for the natives of the land. Many grow desperate to maintain their territory or stake their claim in any land in any way they can. As human settlement continues to threaten nature, the wolves of the five western states face a grueling decision: survival by all means necessary or die trying.
We are a semi-realistic, liquid-time, sandbox-esque wolf roleplay very loosely based off of the world of Red Dead Redemption II. Vestige offers a variety of diverse regions spanning five different states to explore, an automated shop, and user-led packs. How will you leave your pawprints on the world of Vestige?
WEATHER Snow finally arrives to the West with the arrival of winter! Ambarino's nights get colder and longer, while the states of West Elizabeth and New Hanover get their share of snowfall. New Austin and Lemoyne are spared from the frost, but there is a distinct, wintery chill in the air.
EVENTS Rumors spread of NEW PACKS FORMING throughout the five states. In addition, canines in the region of BIG VALLEY, WEST ELIZABETH are having more frequent run-ins with hunters seeking out prized commodities: wolf, coyote, and fox pelts to trade.

Both at the best of times and the worst of times, Fang Hennigan is composed and confident: nothing bestial nor sovereign can daunt him even if it can defeat him. It is a resolute valour, but also a well-hidden sadism, that ensures his presence on any front line where his nihilism translates into an absence of remorse and where his amorality leaves no room for hesitation. His life is not his concern and if his heart is devoted to something, or someone, he will prove to be monstrous. Life and everything that it can possibly offer him has dulled into something mundane and pointless over the course of his life and so it is debts, promises, rewards, and wars that keep him alive just for the Hell of it.
He is, more than anything, capricious. His refusal to suffer fools gladly can make him seem unapproachable to some but anyone that matters to him can rest assured that he is never hostile without reason. He is dismissive of if not dangerous to discourteous and domineering individuals, refusing to let any ill-mannered company make a fool of him and anyone dear to him. Yet, he is capable of being considerably worse than the liars and tyrants that vex him. He loses control of himself, especially his anger, very easily and so articulates his feelings and thoughts frankly before they can bother him. Even then, whilst his behaviour is under his control, he is ungovernable. He dislikes any self-proclaimed authority over others, chiefly over himself, but tolerates it on his terms to ensure his survival. Him having authority over likeminded individuals, however, is fine by him and dangerous to anyone that would oppose his objectives.
history
Generation | 1 Parents | Harou x Scout Hennigan Siblings | 3 Other family | . . .
His father, Harou, had been smuggled from Sweden to New Austin and had made a name for himself around Cholla Springs as a champion of the humans' dog fighting rings. His mother, a lone wolf named Scout Hennigan, had spent her life poaching livestock from ranchers and foiling hunters' plans against her species. A whirlwind romance between the unlikely pair of dispersal wolves had produced a litter, including Fang Hennigan.
Fang had been raised exclusively by his mother on the outskirts of MacFarlane's Ranch and had learned not only how to outsmart humans, livestock, and other predators like himself but also how to survive if not evade human contraptions such as trains and traps for his first seven Moons. Thereafter, his mother had been trapped by ranchers to lucratively breed wolf-dogs for dog fighting rings and for individuals across Hennigan's Stead. He had at the behest of his mother fled the ranch and spent the following two Moons travelling alone towards Thieves' Landing. Upon arrival, he had found himself in the crossfire of a shootout and had retreated into the rundown residence of a disreputable human known as the Huntsman.
The Huntsman had raised him further and had, over the course of four years, made him into a bounty hunter that criminals and their watchdogs dreaded. Fang, known among criminals for infiltrating their hideouts and for being as likely to capture his targets as to kill them, had travelled alongside the Huntsman for contracts across Cholla Springs and Hennigan's Stead, both aiding and avoiding law enforcement along their way. Then came his fall from grace.
His last contract had led him to Tall Trees, where Fang and his human companion had been ambushed and left for dead by their target. Having faced a knife himself, Fang had been found with blood still gushing out of lacerations across his face: Maximillian Niko Caputo, the founder of the Burning Creek Pack, had been the one to keep him alive. Now, seeking an opportunity to repay that favour, Fang is among the first followers of Caputo.
