The de le Poer family is an old one whose membership is found throughout the world. Due to its size and connections, blood members of the de le Poer family may not necessarily carry the surname.

Its members are of nearly every breed and make. Appearance is heavily influenced by location: members from Montpellier in Europe tend to be mostly wolves or wolfdogs, with a smaller collection of dog-heavy hybrids coming out of Ireland. Within the Western Hemisphere wolves and wolfdogs seem to be the standard, though many coyote de le Poer's are likely to be found. Hybridization is not uncommon.

The de le Poer's have held constant presence and influence in Nova Scotia since 2002. Members of the family formerly led Chimera and more recently, Inferni, where many coyote-heavy de le Poer's resided. Salsola boasts ties to the family in its members, most of whom trace their lineage back to Airgid Gleann and the Macha Tribe.

According to folklore³ (and in many cases, real examples) the de le Poer line is cursed with madness.

1.  Physical Attributes

1.1  Eyes

Conforming Color Variation

• Though red and blue eyes tend to run strongest within the family, there have been large variation throughout the generations. Deviation from these colors indicates a dominant strain of another line.
  • Dodger Blue (#1E90FF) is the "true" de le Poer color.
• Heterochromia occurs regularly within the de le Poer family.

1.2  Fur

Conforming Color Variation

• With such a wide variety of bloodlines to pull from, there is no standard coloration for any de le Poer. In general, breeding will influence the appearance of any member. By and large, the de le Poer family gravitates to a common primitive landrace appearance best adapted for the area they live in.
  • The family tends to lean towards darker, warmer tones; earthy reds, golds, and browns are equally present.
  • Face markings are common and include masks, blazes, paler splashes around the nape of the neck, a collar or a half collar.
  • Agouti occurs regularly, along with sable, brindle, and tuxedo patterning.

Families

• Lykoi — This family holds multiple bonds to the de le Poers, as the Kaena and Ahren's litter was very large. Three of the six puppies of that litter who survived to adulthood have produced a total of eleven children of the fifth generation.
  • Massacre + Holocaust — The de le Poers and Massacres are bound through the children of Faolin Mogotsi and Gabriel in the fifth generation. Hybrid Holocaust further strenghted this bond through his children with Ryan and Talitha de le Poer in the sixth generation. Talitha's son, Priest, and his mate Symera Villisca produced many children, some of whom settled in Inferni to raise their own families.
    • Damaichu — Omar, Adina Inferni, Jethro, Credence, Faith, and Hope link these families, though only the latter two are aware of this connection.
    • Ulrich — Eden and Evelyn de le Ulrich link these families.
    • Savoy — The children of Agrippa connect these families.
  • Winters — The Winters family and the de le Poers are linked several times, though most notably due to Gabriel's mateship to matriarch Alaine Winters.
    • Eternity — The children of Stannis and Salvia Eternity bind these families.
      • Revlis — Elphaba Revlis links these families.
      • Helsi — O'Riley Eternity links these two families.

Genetic Background

¹ It is interesting to note that the name itself can translate to two meanings. While most maintain that the direct translation "of the poor" is accurate, the family name may also be a reference to the French word peur, which is also evidenced by the de le, so that the name can be translated as "of fear" or "from fear". ⇑

³ Mel adopted the name from H.P. Lovecraft's The Rats in the Walls. ⇑
