That would be really cool! But I highly recommend to add features so that the original owner can decide whether it's possible for hosts to breed the wolf or not, or just plainly make it possible to breed it anyway. Also maybe the wolf could gather some stats somehow, or possibly aid the host somehow. The only thing I know about coding is that it's difficult, so take this as only a light suggestion. But maybe the traveller could slightly boost the moods of a pack while it's visiting, or boost a hunting teams chances slightly? I don't know how that would work together with how someone might rent out a traveller in exchange for the host getting that boost or something, though, if that would be a feature or something that would be unfair in the game? Or it just gains stats because its a traveller and doesn't boost anything.
But I still want to stress my stance that they should be able to breed, both in pair bonds and by studs, because that would just be more fun and has no negative outcomes. If someone wants to mess with a traveller by making it have a 30 day pair bond cooldown against the owners wishes, that person would also have a wolf with a cooldown unless they went through lots of trouble to find some wolf they don't like and have it in their pack for 7 days and I just don't see that logically being a big problem.

I think one thing that people who own travellers would enjoy would be something to make it actually desirable to take on a traveller, because often people can't find anyone to send theirs to. So the traveller being able to aid in something in the pack would make them slightly more desirable, and maybe there could be some flavor text to add to the wolfs bio if the host doesn't know what to write.

This was a bunch of ideas from someone who has hosted and owned travellers before because I loved the writing colab part of it but stopped because it was hard to find a next destianation for them and it just became a hassle. I hope that any of this helped

In regards to bios, I think it would make sense if the owner was able to edit everything, in case there are formatting/grammar mistakes etc. or they just... don't want the lore/information anymore. It is their wolf, in the end, so I think that's perfectly fine, and probably how ot would work anyway.

Hosts should be able to add to the bio, and edit anything they've added, as long as the traveler is still with them. Once the traveler changes hosts, the bio is "locked in", and only the owner can then change it. This would also make it so, if a traveler ends up with the same host twice, the host can't edit what they wrote the last time, only add a new section. That would probably be much easier to code, and makes sense lore-wise, as well as prevents inconsistencies in case something was added based on something the current host wrote previously but wants to change. If you want to change something after it's "locked in", you'd have to contact the host (but of course this isn't part of the implementation, just something you'd have to do via messages or something. most wd players are nice and would probably change it for you anyway :) )

I love the idea of this (Esp. a new role)

I do agree with the breeding as well as a few other things that people here have spoken esp. with a way to gain stats and aid the host whose keeping a traveler for a bit.

I personally wouldn't keep a wolf, traveler or not, that wasn't being useful. esp. considering the lore I want for my tribe. I'm still developing some things still but either way, would love it if the traveler would help out a bit during their stay that would also benefit them.

Toggles always make things easier and gives people the option for things.

Other than that, this seems like an awesome feature
(I hope for more roles in the future honestly but i'm grateful for what we have thus far.)
