Molecular Moonhounds
The Molecular Moon Hounds have bizarre beliefs and an unusual pack structure. They believe that everything in the world, including their bodies are made up of tiny particles called "atoms" that make larger structures called "molecules". They call this spiritual belief system "Chemistry". These wolves study and worship the pathways of matter and base their beliefs in "the order of all things", which revolves around the god of organic molecules called "Carbon".
They have developed a naming scheme unique to their pack.
All newborn pups are "appraised" by the pack leader and given their first name based on their temperament, for example one may be called "Fast and Quiet". When they come of age, they may be given a new name based on a macro-molecule depending on their personality and how they've interacted with others. Their new name is given during a naming ceremony before the entire pack. They may choose to accept their new name, reject it, or modify it to their liking.
Some pups will not be given their first name, and instead be given "The Mark of the Bear". It is a smudge placed between their ears with a paint made from crushed herbs. The Mark of the Bear signifies that the pup is undesirable to the pack. It is the pack leaders duty to discern which pups receive this fated mark, but the criteria for choosing those who will be marked is not shared with the rest of the pack. The mother of the pup may choose to wean these pups to 2.5 months of age, or simply abandon them shortly after birth, but after weaning, they must be shunned. These unwanted pups live the hard knock life at the edge of the Molecular Moonhound's territory, eeking out a living of their own. Most do not live to adulthood, and those who do are seen as strangers to the pack, and chased out of the area for good.
The rules of the naming ceremony for pack members are as follows:
Wolves with an aggressive disposition are named after a protein, typically an enzyme because of their tendency to catalyze change within the pack and work in an action oriented way.
Wolves with a stoic disposition are named after a nucleic-acid, as their internal demeanor mirrors the function of DNA, In the way they quietly work behind the scenes in ways that are sometimes hard for others to understand.
Wolves with a friendly disposition are named after a carbohydrate, as they are sweet as sugars and provide others with a source of friendly energy in the form of encouragement.
Wolves with a romantic disposition are named after a lipid, as they hold the rest of the pack together as a lipid does within a cell's membrane. They are comparable to the sweetness of a sugar but provide a deeper and richer satisfaction in the way a lipid provides long burning energy.
