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.

Looking to join the roleplay, but stuck on what character to create? Try adopting one!
These are blank slate, first-generation characters that you can adopt and customize to your heart's content! You can retain as little or as many traits as you'd like, and you can even submit your own character ideas for others to adopt.
How can I adopt a character? The character list in the following post holds all of our Masterlist submissions! Just reply with the character's name and you're set. Characters are on a first-come, first-serve basis. Once you create the account for that character, the application is taken off our list, and they're yours! Adopted characters with no account are crossed off until the account is created, after which they are removed completely. You will have up to a week to create an account until the character is put back up on the list for other adopters.
How can I submit a character? Looking to submit a character to the Masterlist? Great! Use the application below to create a character and DM the form to staff - do not post it in this thread! You may fill out as little or as much as you'd like; if you would like a trait to be up to the player, write player's discretion on a trait. You may also create premade character applications for a character that you can DM to a player once they've adopted your character. Please Note: Masterlist submissions are G1, blank slate characters only! If you are looking to adopt out a litter, relatives, plot characters, etc., please create a separate thread in the Adoption Center. In addition, the characters you submit can be edited by the player as much as they would like upon adoption; the adopter has the right to alter whatever they choose.

PIERCE Submitter Name: psy Gender: male Age: 5 years Pack: player's discretion Species/Breed: Gray Wolf Appearance: Pierce bears a pelt consisting of various blacks and blue-grays, with his underfur, paws, neck, and chest being a lighter gray. His ears are also a light gray, a similar color to his markings. His eyes are a vivid yellow. He is tall and slim. Sexuality: player's discretion Personality Traits: Pierce is well-spoken, flamboyant, and charismatic, often using his people skills to his advantage whenever he wants to. On the surface, he is pleasant to speak with and fairly hospitable and friendly to most individuals. Despite this, he is a natural trickster and tends to do as he pleases; he is one to take revenge and do anything to bring down those who do him wrong. For the most part, though, he generally tries to avoid confrontation and bringing harm to others unless they personally hurt him in some way. He has an individualistic mindset and, while he would help out those he trusts, he typically believes that everyone is in charge of their luck and future and should look out for themselves first. Likes/Dislikes: likes flowers, intellectuals; dislikes violent individuals, relying on others Strengths/Weaknesses: strengths: natural charisma, intelligence; weaknesses: distrust in others, arrogance Dreams/Fears: dream: player's discretion; fear: death Backstory: previously had a litter with an ex-mate (optional) Items Required: none Notes/Other Info: loosely based off of Trelawny from RDR2
LUCA Submitter Name: psy Gender: player's discretion Age: 4 years Pack: Redfrost Species/Breed: Red Wolf Appearance: Luca's fur is a mixture of reddish-browns throughout, along with black markings upon their back and face. Their undercoat, chest, muzzle, and paws are a light cream color. They bear light orange-brown eyes. They are on the taller side for the red wolf breed and are somewhat muscular. Sexuality: player's discretion Personality Traits: Luca is a very blunt, sarcastic, and no-nonsense individual. They will do anything to achieve their goals and stop at nothing to do so. They tend to be loyal to those they have secured a long-term bond with, though they have no issues with letting someone go if they disagree with the person's values or they believe it would be beneficial for them to do so. Luca is fiercely protective of their family and trusted friends. Despite this, they seem to not care much about authority figures and don't bother to treat higher-ups any different than they would any other person they interact with. Likes/Dislikes: likes summer, hunting; dislikes winter, authority Strengths/Weaknesses: strengths: determination, loyalty; weaknesses: stubbornness, coldness Dreams/Fears: player's discretion Backstory: was found by Redfrost when they were 2 years old, lived with the pack ever since Items Required: none Notes/Other Info: feel free to change the name to anything else
SALISH Submitter Name: Wolfberry Gender: player discretion Age: 3 Years Pack: Burning Creek Species/Breed: Grey Wolf Appearance: They're a hardy young buck with a well defined musculature even beneath thick fur, which is a mixture of reddish-tans and dark brown. Their undercoat is a light creamy color that extends down the inside of their legs and across their stomach, and their dark tan face is darkened by the splash of a dark brown mask covering their snout and fading across their forehead. Their sable coloration creates a scattered brown pattern throughout their red-tan fur that is dark like rich damp soil, and their tail ends with much the same color. Sexuality: player discretion Personality Traits: Salish enjoys good humor, and is almost always in good humor, themself. They like to joke and be merry, but they know how to crack down and get things done. When the pack holds a ceremony, they're there to participate where they can. If the land needs guarding, they're willing to go do their duty. Uncomplaining reliability is what they're known for. They will stick with their pack for as long as they're welcome. That doesn't mean they're a guileless jester, however. Salish tackles problems critically, cleverly, with a show of understated intelligence. It takes a quick mind to be a witty comedian, and Salish most certainly fits the bill. Likes/Dislikes: LIKES - Joking, laughter, friends :: DISLIKES - Bullying/bullies, show-boaters, noontime Strengths/Weaknesses: STRENGTHS - Reliable, Warm, Dedicated :: WEAKNESSES - Dense fur, Insecure, Bitter Dreams/Fears: DREAMS - Make all the friends, Win hearts and minds, See the mountains up close, live long enough to become the villain :: FEARS - Guns, Loneliness Backstory: They grew up near Grizzlies East, constantly competing with the northern-residing Redfrost pack for resources, and disputing boundary lines. Given that they were never the foolish fighting type, nor the religious type, they migrated further south once they were old enough to break off from their parents. Over the course of a few long, hard months with nowhere to go but always running from someone, they made it to Tall Trees, where the Burning Creek pack resided, and were welcomed. Items Required: none (unless changing eye color to something unnatural) Notes/Other Info: feel free to change the name and/or eye color.
HARPER Submitter Name: Wolfberry Gender: Female Age: 2 Years Pack: player discretion Species/Breed: Welsh Terrier Appearance: As Welsh Terriers go, she's a pretty standard sort. Her fur, which is the color of sandy spilled across a dirty floor, is curly and coarse, and a wavy, scruffy mustache accentuates her muzzle. Her tail is stiff and short, and it curves ever so slightly toward her back as it sticks up to give her the constant air of alertness. Two piercing dark brown eyes gaze shrewdly at her surroundings, and her perfectly triangular little ears flop gently atop her head. A saddle of black fur covers the majority of her back and extends around her chest and neck. She's a perky little thing with near-perfect form as she stands straight and tall at attention, a feature of her breed. Sexuality: player discretion Personality Traits: Harper is a vivacious little pup, always ready to pounce and play. She sees potential in almost anything that moves, it can all be put to good use as a toy if she really tries. And try she does. She also has no qualms with dragging anyone in, or around, to play with her. As is her nature, she is a boisterous little girl, a big personality in a tiny package, and is not afraid to let anyone know her thoughts. The world is just a huge play-space, and this dog will get everyone in on it eventually. That said, she is also incredibly driven in any direction she's pointed, and makes a good watchdog and a mediocre herder when she sets her mind to it. To her, it's all just potential to have fun. Likes/Dislikes: here Strengths/Weaknesses: STRENGTHS - Effervescent, Driven, Smart :: WEAKNESSES - Forceful, Unrelenting, Loud Dreams/Fears: DREAMS - Play with everyone, Be loved by everyone :: FEARS - Darkness, Rage Backstory: player discretion Items Required: Dog Character Notes/Other Info: Harper is heavily inspired by a dog I know. She can be a runaway, a lost stray, a spy, or even try to get into a pack if you want. Her backstory and affiliation are up to you. Also feel free to change her name.
