Okay guys, so I’m putting up Zev for adoption, he has NOT been made here yet, and his adoption is for the sole purpose of him getting a second shot at Saranna. Originally the plan was for him to be dead and gone, but things have changed and now I’m willing to bring him back. Zev was a character created a long time ago by an RP buddy of mine, I have been given permission to use him for my evil purposes once more, although I’ve given him a bit of the “Annie flare.” This adoption will not be standard, I’d love to see you ‘try out’ Zev before I hand him over to you. I have already done the hard work and filled out his whole bio, but I will only give you bits and pieces of him.

Obiviously, you need to read up on Saranna. I know her history is long, but Saranna is my baby. For those of you who do not know, Saranna is the product of literally NO preplanning. On one site over the span of three years, Saranna was born and morphed into what she came to this site as, with hardly the slightest thought of preplotting. Everything with Saranna up until this point was winging things. And I’m not a ‘wing’ it kind of girl for those of you who know me. I tend to enjoy and prefer having a general idea where something may go.

Anyway, please read up on Saranna’s history, I know its long, but it will help you get a better feel for her and Zev’s relationship. NOW for Zev!

He is only known as Zev, so his full name will be up to you guys. Zev is a Czechoslovakian Wolfdog shifter. I don’t have a playby in mind, though I would like to approve it if possible, perhaps a blonde or brunette. In shifter form, he’s of the more colorful variety of his breed, being dominated by golds and browns and accented even with reddish hues here and there. His eyes are a deep gold with yellow flecks. He has a chipped fang and his tongue is speckled black at the very tip. Very large for his breed. He normally wears a chain collar that belonged to his sister who was murdered before he joined the Great Pack.

For personality, Zev is quite the opposite of Saranna. He’s the ying to her yang. He’s all soft and round and she’s hard and sharp. As a youngster, he was your common arrogant, brash young boy, loud and much too hyper for his own good. He thought he was on top of the world, he was just your average little boy playing soldier. As he grew, he gained experience and began to mellow out. Now, he’s playful and not nearly as serious as her, content to lounge the day away in the sun and take a moment to smell the roses. He’s quick to be enticed into play by the youngsters. He jokes and gets along with everyone, the picture perfect image of charismatic. In a way, he’s a cuddly, lovable teddy bear. Don’t let his outter exterior fool you though, for inside is a raging grizzly looking for that one little trigger. He’s fiercely protective of what’s his and he’s got killer instincts and a sharp, quick mind to match. He’s one to act more on instinct than thoughts, while Saranna, once more, likes to think before relying on her instincts. He has an incredibly strong pack mentality and parental mannerism. He can tend to be a bit possessive at times and has a bad tendency to hold a grudge and act recklessly on it. He knows when it is time to be serious, which was the majority of his later life.

When it comes to his relationship with Saranna, its all defined by the physical attributes. Saranna is not a being of high emotions. By physical, I mean that their relationship, no didn’t revolve around sex, but just simply being a presence to mentally lean on. Zev was always there when Saranna needed that shove. He was her rock with his undying loyalty. Their relationship was not one of words or emotions or physical touch, but rather just physically being present.

When they were young, they didn’t quite get along. Zev teased and pestered her, making it a game to get under her skin; his carefree ways went against everything she stood for. But they say opposites attract and these two have known each other from day one of their ranger training. Eventually what started as a partnership became friendship and then something more. After years of working together, Saranna couldn’t handle the quiet anymore without her wolfdog there to liven things up and Zev couldn’t handle the world without his Kishu to quiet the shouting. Zev, to this day, is the only one who could truly get Sari to act like the pup she was never allowed to be.

These two together are an unstoppable, well oiled machine. They can read each other’s body language so well, it’s almost like telepathy. He is her voice, she is his thoughts.

Unique to their relationship, Saranna and Zev have never actually said out loud that they loved each other. In ‘their language’ it was just simply understood, like how one ear flick meant scout ahead or another meant follow at my flank. To those on the outside of Saranna’s inner circle of family, Zev appeared to have an unhealthy loyalty to her. But truth was, he understood her perhaps the most of all. They only rarely allowed themselves physical contact of the slightest affection when they were alone.


When Saranna ascended to Alpha, their partnership as rangers ended and evolved into something more traditional. Zev became her personal guard of sorts, shadowing her every movement, and ascended to be on the pack advisors. These years sharpened his mind and his new duty as personal guar, his offering of life long servitude, was his way of offering his heart to his Kishu. Zev, once more in contrast with Sari, had always known he’d loved her deeply, from day one before she even spoke to him. But Zev never told her, knowing she was not ready for that. For Zev, it didn’t matter if he had to wait for eternity, just so long as he could remain by her side.

When Saranna was kidnapped by Cephus, Zev nearly drove himself mad looking for her. When she finally showed up, she had changed greatly. He knew she’d never be the same and knew that the Ranna he loved was gone. Their relationship faltered, she blamed began to blame for things that were and weren’t his fault. Saranna had changed so much, he could no longer read her thoughts and body. Still Zev refused to stop loving her and instead chose to start finding new things about this new Saranna to love. But she pushed him away, and he drifted willingly in an attempt to keep himself wondering what had happened while Saranna was gone. He felt the ultimate betrayal when Saranna one day came back with a youngster in tow, one obviously her daughter. He never said anything, knowing Kita was not a child of love, but regardless felt the stab deep in his heart that Saranna had never told him.

He accepted Kita with open arms and fantasized that she was his in an odd way.

When the slaughter of the Great Pack happened, Zev was retreating with a small party consisting of himself, Hank, Diablos, and Saranna. Hank was the first to fall, Diablos pushed him and a heavily wounded Saranna onwards. Half way to the rendezvous point with Diablos, Zev turned back to confront an approaching enemy and was thought to have been killed.

Saranna went back looking for him, but all she was found was his sister’s chain necklace.

In truth, Zev was captured, brain washed, and now suffers from acute amnesia. The only ‘memories’ he has are what his kidnappers told him. Now he works for the enemy and with only the poisoned memories and thoughts they have left him with, he yearns to get payback on Saranna, whom he believes killed his sister and pack in cold blood.

So if you are interested in dear Zev, go ahead and post here. The ‘try out’ will go as follows, I will put a list of scenarios below, your job is to type up Zev’s response to one of the scenarios of your choice. In a way, it will be a very short scene to RP out via PM with Saranna and Zev. If you need any explanations about the scenario, like background info on pack ranger duties or something of the sort, let me know. I really wanna get this guy on here, so while there is a screening process, don’t let it daunt you!

Be sure to PM any tryouts to my staff account and title it Zev Try Out or something of the like so I know what it is!

Scenario #1

It is the first day of Ranger training, Saranna has been assigned a mentor in Diablos, the pack beta and leader of the Rangers. When on cycles, the rangers-in-training are group with two experienced rangers in three-dog cells. When not on cycles, the trainees are put into large groups of five trainees to every two adults and learn the basics: mountain and region layout, basic attack and defenses manuevers, etc. In these large group trainings, the Rangers are closely assessing each member's prowess, strengths, and weaknesses, as well as assessing which two canines would compliment each other as partners when they graduate to full training. This is the first time Zev and SAranna officially meet. Saranna has been part of the pack for the better part of three years, Zev for four years. Zev has been watching her from the shadows for years now. Now Zev finally has a reason to openly speak to her, before too shy to approach her for no reason. He's apprehensive, he knows she's cold and distant, but his new challenge in life is to get to know her better. And what better way than to show his drop dead gorgeous smile, it's worked everytime before!

Scenario #2

Saranna and Zev have just graduate from trainee status to Junior Ranger after a year of training. Zev has made fast friends with all his fellow trainees and showed much promise. Him and Saranna still have a near nonexistent relationship, he keeps his distance mostly, only approaching her when they are both relatively alone. His friends don't understand his obsession with her; he's found a new game, annoy the pants off her to get some type of reaction! As junior rangers, they will receive a fellow junior partner and go on month long 'half-cycles' with senior rangers to begin condition themselves for the months of hard solitude. After the graduation ceremony from trainee to junior status, Zev and Saranna are surprised when they are assigned each other as partners for the extent of their Junior Ranger training. Saranna is appalled, Zev estatic. Now Zev has to try to show to Saranna that he's more than a handsome face with an obsession over her. How does he plan on showing her? By showing off, of course, via the ranger hunt. Does it go as planned?

Scenario #3

After two years as Junior Rangers, Zev and Saranna are now full fledged rangers. Two years have molded them from moody adolescents who would take on the world into selfreliant adults and pack protectorates. They have grown close and while hesitant to call each other friends, are arguably the best Ranger duo. Its a bittersweet moment, for their partnership is over and they now can return from the isolated ranger life high in the mountains to the pack life in the valley when no on duty. Time passes and both begin to miss each others once constant company. For Saranna, its too quiet without Zev, for Zev it's loud without her silence. Zev has learned from their years together that Saranna's privacy is a a very dear thing to her. After a few months of downtime as a regular pack member, it is time for their first cycle as full fledged Rangers and they must pick one partner to share the three month period where they will guard the borders. Zev is surprised to see Saranna approach and sit by him throughout the debriefing. No words are exchanged, but the action in itself speaks loud. Saranna has willingly chosen him as her cycle partner, not the other way around. What will happen in their first true cycle, with no one but each other for company for three months?

If there is any other scenario you yourself would like to come up with on your own, be my guest! You can find other possible scenarios in Saranna's history found here!
