What are WTS?? How do they look??
Winged Tribal Sabers are massive, saber cats. They vaguely resemble tigers, but are taller, more heavily built and longer. Fighters and Hunters wear long, claw-guards, which are plates of Obsidian that extend and protect their claws. Females and males are relatively the same size, though occasionaly an abnormally large or small Saber will be born, this is an extreme rarity. They range from the size of a Cougar to a horse (with occasional abnormalities). The WTS live for up to 150 years, the Healer lives even longer. The Sabers also have "mood mist" which emnates from their paws, changing colour depending on their mood.


Mood colours:
Anger
Calmness or serenity
Excited
Happy
Sad
Ready to fight
In love


History:
Winged Tribal Sabers live in a world not too different from our own. They are the dominant species, but a few enemies exist for these powerful beings. Their main enemy are the Kayotas. Kayotas are lean, fox-like creatures. They are not dangerous alone, but fight in large packs, large enough to be a threat to the WTS's. The Kayotas occupy the most barren part of the worls, the Black Forests.

Growing up:
It is a ritual for a Saber to journey into the Black Forests when they reach the age of 1 year. During this ritual the Saber will have to navigate through a specially designed "obstacle course" that will prove their worth. After this they will be given a mentor for 2 more years, chosen for them by the Alphas. Once they have acquired a mentor, they will be trained for up to two years to learn the duty of their mentor. Once they have graduated, they will recieve their rank and join the Tribe properly. This special ritual is not spoken of, if a Saber returns from the Black Forests and recieves their rank, they will never speak of the journey again.

Territory:
The WTS's make their homes in the Western Forests. They live high in the treetops, constructing nests for themselves from the branches of the Hyacin trees. The Tribe is seperated into different areas. Hunters and Fighters nest together. Breeders (mothers expecting or nursing) and their cubs nest together. The Alphas nest together in the Great Hyacin, a 100,073 year old tree, older than the Sabers themselves. Betas nest in a tree just below the Alphas, with a clear view of the entire Tribe. Trainees nest close to the Hunters and Fighters, in a thinly branched tree. The healer nests in a withered tree set away from the others, to practice their medicines in peace.

About the wings:

Each WTS has it's own special wings. Cubs are born with plain, grey wings which develop into their true wings as they go through training. Sabers also keep a feather in their ear, usually the left, that is the same type as the feathers of their wings.

Wing Types:

Royal Alphas:
Alphas have huge, powefull wings made purely of Eagle feathers.

Betas:
Betas have long, thin wings made of startling blue-black Eurasian Jay feathers.

Lead Fighters:
Fighters have medium sized, thin wings of Purple-Blue Hummingbird feathers

Fighters:
Fighters have small, long Pheonix feather wings

Lead Hunters:
Lead Hunters have dark, blue-black Raven feathered wings

Hunters:
Hunters have white-grey Owl feather wings

Healer:
The healer has massive, beautifully ornamental Peacock feather wings

Rules. If you do not follow these, you WILL be stripped of your Saber!

- Only one Saber per person, so choose yours carefully.

- Sabers are Sabers, do NOT change the species.
-Do not copy this breed in any way, shape or form.

-Sabers are ADOPTED, not bought, you cannot buy or sell a Saber.

-A Saber is a commitment, if at any time you feel you can no longer care for yours, or are leaving CS, just PM me and we will re-adopt it.

-You cannot breed your Saber without permission from me, Vixen_Roe.

-Only Alphas, Betas and Leads (hunters or fighters) can breed, unless you have my permission.

Able to breed:

Alpha X Alpha
Beta X Beta
Beta X Any other WTS
Lead X Lead
Lead X A normal Hunter or Fighter

The Healer cannot breed.

NOTE: Betas and Royal Alphas do not necessarily have to be mates, they may just be the Sabers most suited for the job.

How do I get a Saber??
Good question. The family lines are now out and the pound lines will be coming soon! So keep an eye on them
